When in Lisbon, try a pastel de nata. Or three. Move on to the next must-try bakery. Then there’s the new off-the-charts artisan bread place. Next stop: H&M.

Who can remember that dreading moment just before stepping onto the scales? The anxiety. I would strip down to the bare minimum, God forbid those extra grams from the sleeveless top would get in the way of that week’s results/punishment craze!
