I had a fun trip to San Francisco (my fourth time visiting), the last trip was almost 10 years ago and this time I did most of the same things as I did that trip because that trip was so perfect. The weather in April was a high of 60 degrees. I've never been to Napa because I always have so many things to do in SF. Important note: locals don't want you to call the city San Fran or Frisco, it's San Francisco or SF. I hiked the coastal trail, visited the Museum of Modern Art, ate delicious food in Japan Town, walked through Chinatown, went to rooftop bars, enjoyed Golden Gate Park, ate at vegetarian restaurants and walked the entire city. If I were to move anywhere in America, it would be to SF!

Saunas have been around for 1000s of years. The Finnish saunas date back to BC and today Finland has 3 million saunas serving a population of 5 million. Most Finns have a private sauna in their home or apartment building. 90% of Finns take a sauna at least once a week. The ancient Romans and Greeks had a Bathhouse while the Turkish had a Hammam during the Ottoman Empire. Native Americans have sweat lodges. Russian Banyas also date back centuries. The Japanese invented the infrared sauna in 1965. As you see many cultures across the globe have historically used saunas.  A post-workout sauna has many benefits for your mind and body as its a great workout for your heart and blood vessels. It has become part of my weekly wellness schedule.

I'm sure you've seen all the tiktoks of people who travel to Paris and go to a French Pharmacy to pick up French skincare. Since I have no immediate plans of traveling to Europe I found a USA based store that sells French brands called French Pharmacy. I've placed a couple orders from them based on everyone's recommendations so I wanted to share with you what I've tried.  France has advanced sunscreen filters that we don't have in the USA. it's a big deal because we haven't had a new chemical filter in awhile and this improves the level of UVA blockage so much more! The filter is called Mexoryl UV Mune 400. Overall the French love homeopathic remedies and perfumed skincare, so that's what you will find on my list.
