As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.
When people ask me about my story I just go through the positive stuff: the tent-pole moments the big landmark checkpoints.
After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.
It's better to get the nutrients for healthy skin from food not supplements. Salmon walnuts blueberries spinach... lots of my favorite foods happen to be amazing for skin too.
