Danielle, I love this! It's so timely for me since the mal'occhio looms large in a book I'm currently writing. And as long as my mother was alive, she worried about my exposed neck on a windy day. Thank you for t his.

Glad you enjoyed it! As an adult, I realized that my naturally curly hair looks way better if I let it air dry and for the last 25 years of my life I feel a little bit nervous pretty much every time I do so, lol.

Haha yes, the dreaded draft... my family comes from the North of France and I grew up with the fear of leaving doors and windows open... to this day I always wear a scarf around my neck, even in summer here in South Africa.... I'd feel naked if my throat were exposed to the fresh air...
