The Clear-Skin Makeover
Like high school pop quizzes and awkward prom dates, pimples are supposed to be distant bad memories. If only. But these days, even moms of teens are battling blemishes — and wrinkles, too. In fact, between 15 and 35 percent of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s suffer from breakouts, according to a report published last year in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. And those numbers are on the rise, says dermatologist Richard Fried, M.D., Ph.D., author of Healing Adult Acne. Doctors attribute this increase to everything from skyrocketing stress levels and hormone fluctuations to today’s carbohydrate-heavy diets.

Strawberries
The fragrantly sweet juiciness and deep red color of strawberries can brighten up both the taste and aesthetics of any meal; it is no wonder they are the most popular berry fruit in the world. Although strawberries have become increasingly available year-round, they are at the peak of their season from April through July when they are the most delicious and most abundant. While there are more than 600 varieties of strawberries that differ in flavor, size and texture, one can usually identify a strawberry by its red flesh that has yellow seeds piercing its surface, and the small, regal, green leafy cap and stem that adorn its crown. In addition to strawberries that are cultivated, there are also varieties that grow wild. These are much smaller in size, but feature a more intense flavor.

MECCANICO DG WATCH BY DE GRISOGONO
Introducing the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch A god among watches, this is possibly the most sophisticated design youll ever wear on your wrist. Born from the imagination of the owner of de Grisogono, Fazwa Gruosi, the Meccanico dG is the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch. Bearing both an analogue display at the top of the dial and digital one at the bottom, this device is solely mechanical. Clever, right? More than you think: beneath the analogue portion of the two-timezone watch is a numerical display driven by the intricate maze of 651 components. The numbers are then formed by the shifting motion of 23 cams and gears, all confined to a space no larger than the size of a matchbox. The design was released to coincide with the Geneva-based companys 15th birthday, and only 177 were ever produced in a colour selection of titanium, titanium and rubber, titanium and platinum, pink gold and red gold. Sizing up at 58mm by 48m, this isn a watch for those ...
