Well, add another PD symptom to the list. Lately I’ve been biting the inside of my mouth very easily when I eat and I just couldn’t figure why I would do that. Then I saw JImmy Choi’s IG post and he has the same symptom and explained why that happens. I unfortunately can’t crush a watermelon with my arm.
~ It’s the height of summer so I’ve been trying to keep meals on the easier side. Lots of giant salads with some protein has been on rotation like this Vietnamese style chicken salad made easy with bagged shredded cabbage and rotisserie chicken. Of course it wouldn’t be summer without my favorite Summer Strawberry Cake. My favorite thing I ate this week was this fabulous Baba Ganoush which is an eggplant dip that I’ve been eating with crackers, pita chips, or toast. I mixed in a spoonful of this harissa which added a delicious smoky kick.
~ The summer also adds more sun and the possible increase in melanoma for those PwP, so it’s important to wear sunscreen. In Hawaii it’s basically summer all year long so I’ve tried many sunscreens. I prefer mineral to chemical sunscreens on my face but many of them leave a chalky white finish. Here are two that are my current favorites and they all work great under makeup. EltaMD has several different types of sunscreen and all of them that I have tried work well. Maelove is light and not greasy and is also a great primer under foundation. I haven’t been able to find a good mineral sunscreen for my body so I use Light as Air by Banana Boat.
~ Lastly I saw that Pottery Barn has a new line of furniture for people with disabilities. It’s nice to see function with style. There are some beautiful furniture, bath fixtures, and lighting. I like the bath grab bars.
Well I hope you have a good weekend. We are helping mom with some house projects and I’d like to get in a swim. ❤️
