It’s completely glorious, we’ve all done it. Myself included. We’re human, life happens.
We’re human, yes. […]
The holidays can be stressful.
In a perfect world they would be filled with bliss, tender family moments, engaging conversations, good food, a little wine and plenty of laughter. However for some, Christmas brings many weeks packed with stress and worry.

We should stop drinking cow’s milk. We know that milk doesn’t really help build strong bones, can increase our risk of cancers, and can have as much sugar as soda. Even worse, 65% of us actually can’t take milk. If you have gas or digestive issues […]
We love our phones. I sometimes keep mine in my pocket. However, there’s solid evidence now that suggests cell phones may increase our risk of brain cancer.
