How to Spend 8hrs in Central Amsterdam

When it comes to Amsterdam, I love it there, but I don’t go for the ‘naughty side’ as many tourists do. I go for how stunning it is, the amount of history there and how good the food is!

Can what you Eat Help your Eye Sight? *

 Since having my eyes lasered back in January 2016, I’ve been really careful with my eyes. I wear sunglasses as soon as there is the slightest glimmer of sunlight, I use the night shift setting on my phone from 9pm, and I try to limit my computer use outside of work but I had no idea that eating certain foods can help prevent damage to your…
