Her DHC favorites
• Velvet Skin Coat Cassandra loves wearing makeup, but hates when it smears or creases. This primer helps even skin's texture for flawless coverage that lasts.
• Olive Virgin Oil "This moisturizer literally quenches my complexion's thirst, which runs a little on the dry side. I even apply a thin layer over my cuticles to give my hands that freshly manicured look." |

DHC at 7-Eleven
In Japan, convenience stores, or combini, as they are called, are a vital part of life. In Tokyo, people may visit a convenience store more than once a day to pick up a snack, pay bills, ship luggage—and buy DHC! "They are truly convenient," says Gary.
Dining out
On a special night out, Gary and Aki joined their colleagues at DHC Japan at a restaurant serving fugu, or blowfish. What does it taste like? When talking about Japanese food, Gary says, "I always find that to be the most difficult question. It's impossible to say because there's nothing to compare it to."
Traveling to Japan?
For first-time Western visitors, Japan can be daunting. Aki suggests traveling with a friend who is familiar with the country. Gary says there's nothing wrong with just getting out and exploring in a spirit of adventure. |

Tasty … surprise!
Some people automatically associate the word vegan with "flavorless." Or worse: Tastes like (eek!) cardboard. Vegan baking has actually come a long way, and this month's Vegan Banana & Blueberry Muffins recipe, featuring our award-winning Núñez de Prado Extra Virgin Olive Oil, proves you can make moist, decadent brunch treats without using dairy products. These delicious muffins will make any skeptic eat his words. And more than likely, a second muffin! |

Oat (Avena sativa) kernel extract
Have you ever dumped a cup of oats into a bath to calm irritated skin? If so, you're familiar with the soothing effects of oat kernel extract. This skin conditioning ingredient also has a plumping effect, thanks to its moisturizing veil. It can be found in several DHC makeup products, including new Eye Shadow Palette EX. |
