About this Member

Wow five crowns in a row!! Thank you so much all of you!

My thought on the Food&Drink category debate: I'm sure we're all dying to know the big truth about supermarket value food without having to sacrifice ourselves in the name of science... :)

I was shocked to see one member who has given 11 ratings for 1143 received! I refuse to read / rate users' work who just take and don't give. What if we all did the same? Surely they would realise that their earnings have dropped?

Thanks for all your reads / rates / comments, they are returned.

Also as lillamarta on Ciao UK, formerly EFL teacher and Software Engineer now relocated to Marseille, France and studying full-time. I'm in third year biochemistry at the University of Provence specialising in aromatic plants in the Mediterranean region. As you may know, this is a huge industry here as all well-known French perfume houses (Chanel, Guerlain) source their raw materials from this region not to mention the thousands of smaller enterprises all around the world.

My hobbies are collecting and testing perfumes, wearing / collecting / selling / upcycling vintage clothing and making my own cosmetic / body care products.
