If we’re to be honest, rarely anything looks as good as tanned skin does, especially when you’ve got great legs that you like to show off! Unfortunately, like it usually happens with all good things in life, this one too; sun exposure isn’t the healthiest option for us. Yes, bronze tan is fantastic but too much sun exposure may not only do a lot of damage to your skin, but it … [Read more...]

When was the last time that you felt calm, composed and happy in your skin? It is too long if you can't quickly recall when. These days, everything feels like a little bit too much.

Collectively overworked and chronically tired, always trying … [Read more...]

Are those fine lines around your eyes that reprehensible? Don’t they tell a story of your laughing and crying, of you hoping and living? … [Read more...]

Ah, weight gain– one of those “irrelevant” things we keep thinking and talking about, even though what matters is how beautiful we are on the inside, right? Errm, you could say that, yes.
