I read this little message on facebook yesterday, saying that “anxiety and depression isn’t a weakness” and I couldn’t agree more. If people had no emotions to guide them, we’d probably be enjoying someone insulting us. I would hate to imagine what kind of disadvantage we’d be in, if that happened all the time. When…
It’s brilliant that we, ourselves are interested in being healthy, but that’s not always the case with friends or family members. In fact, some can be pretty stubborn in remaining their ways. I feel that the best way to convince someone to eat healthy is to show them that they can still eat lots of…
(Or the benefits of walking and good eating) 2011 vs 2013 In 2011, I went to America from Australia to visit Andrew, my then-boyfriend, who is now my husband. I knew that he ate a lot of unhealthy food, and that he was overweight (220 lb, or 100 kg), so I was concerned about him….

Compare who’s prettier, compare who’s better or what’s better, or themselves with others? I think I may have somewhat of an insight…
Some mornings I wake up and seem to find it difficult to go back to sleep while others seems much easier. Though I have no idea why, I have come to develop a few strategies to cope with it. Eyes Wide Open When you wake up in the morning and feel as if you can’t…
Having had sleep problems, when I first heard of “melatonin”, I was excited there was a natural pill which can help me go to sleep, or so I thought. However, my experiences with it has taught me that it’s actually better without it, or that it shouldn’t be used as a thing that knocks us…
I’ve read many articles that said how white sugar causes all kinds of problems, ranging from weight, diabetes, fast aging and many more. No doubt we have somewhat of an idea that sugar isn’t that good. But then, what about fruits? Aren’t they also packed with sugar? This is my say in how I feel…
Nowadays, many people have options that even 20 years ago, would be impossible. There are so many things we can do on the internet, such as blogging, youtube and such, that it may even be possible to make a living on them.
