Links I Love Week 27
Links I Love Week 27
I am officially back in Chicago after a lovely time exploring the Amalfi Coast with my husband. We spent a week between Sorrento, Capri, and Positano. I have a very full stomach, heart, and camera. Once I get settled back in Chicago, I look forward to editing images and adding them to The Print Shop. The first thing on my lis, aside from filling the house with fresh fruits and vegetables, is spending time with Henri. (our mini Bernedoodle)

My husband bought me a Kindle for the trip to Italy, which I must say I loved more than I thought I would. We both have them and ended up reading the same book simultaneously, which was offered when we got the Kindle set up. We haven’t watched TV in over a week, and I enjoyed digging into a mindless book. I am now reading “The Second Mrs. Astor” I have so many new books waiting for me to read next which is half the challenge.

I loved every meal we ate in Italy, especially anything with zucchini. We ate a lot of fish, vegetables, and fresh fruit. I ended up ordering two cookbooks to play around with, including this one from a chef in London and this cookbook on The Mediterranean Diet.

The BEST meal we had of the entire trip was made by our friends in Capri. They own their cooking school and garden and prepare private dining experiences. I have known the couple for years, and we looked forward to our second time in the garden this trip. The meal did not disappoint and we are still talking about it. Holly and Gianluca also make the most amazing olive oil we always keep in our kitchen.

The health benefits of cottage cheese. Via NYT My grandma used to serve it to my sister and me as kids with canned peaches… As an adult, I recently revisited the combination with the upgrade of organic cottage cheese and fresh fruit, thanks to my neighbor, who also loves it. I have been eating it for breakfast or after a workout for a protein boost. Seeing it returning was a lot of fun, which may explain the price hike at Whole Foods.
This is a new favorite face sunscreen. I ordered it a month ago and will be placing a reorder. My dermatologist recommended it. My husband has gotten into the sunscreen game, too, and made a point for me to order more of this one for home.

These sandals were a hit for Italy. My husband and I both have a pair, and they were great for the rocky and hot beaches. We also wore them to climb the stairs in Positano, which was a challenge!

It figures. Recently, I added cottage cheese to my diet after looking for additional sources of protein. I had no idea I was being trendy. I do hate to be a follower-even unknowingly. Thank you, Rebecca, for all of the effort you put into the Links I Love posts. I look forward to them every week and I am never disappointed. They’re terrific.
EltaMD has only one formulation that is a completely “physical” sunscreen, it’s Essentials. As an esthetician, it’s the one I reach for most often. For a beautiful finish, SkinBetter Science makes a tinted version of ToneSmart that has an spf of 75. Highly recommend, not cheap though.
Hi Lesley,
Thank you so much for the tip! I will look for that formulation next time.
