Hello, it is time again for your weekly Lifestyle Delights … tips, research and ideas I had shared with my subscribers in May 2017.

A study published in February 2017, shows that even at a young age this rhythm can be severely disrupted by our lifestyle and environment. Just think about all the stress that we have in our life.

Always Worth a Trip …
I’ve just arrived … in Berlin. I love this city. Not only because I was born here. It’s a city of art, artists and museums. A great place to go to is the Museum Island with 5 of the top museums in Germany … and the world. … Also, if you’re interested in some trivia, Berlin has once again been given the title ‘city of spies’. You even find a museum related to this …
Quote I’m Reflecting on …
