Most people buy antibacterial soap just because it says “kills 99.9% of germs” on the label. No one really stops to ask what is antibacterial soap good for, or if you even need it for everyday use. An antibacterial or antiseptic soap’s label sounds strong, and the price isn’t too different, so it lands in […]
‘I am feeling depressed’ is a commonly used phrase when someone wants to explain their low mood. While seemingly harmless, this falls under self-diagnosis, and one must not do that. But then, what is that feeling when you’re constantly down for days and hardly anything brings you joy? Isn’t that depression, you may ask. And […]
No one really teaches you how to keep your vagina clean and smelling good when you’re young, even though it’s basic hygiene. So we either wash it like other body parts or don’t bother cleaning it well—both can mess with your natural balance and result in issues like foul odor or even infections. That’s why […]
The term ‘daddy issues’ gets thrown around on social media jokingly. When someone perceives that a woman is trying to get validation or attention from an older man or someone with a bigger authority, they call it daddy issues.

‘Matches are made in heaven’ is a popular relationship belief around the world. People say their soulmates are predestined and they’ll reach them when the time is right.

If your pelvic muscles sometimes act unhinged and you don’t know […]

Glutathione gets praise for detox support and skin-brightening, but you must raise the bar on safety during pregnancy and take a measured look before adding it to your prenatal routine. But with all the mixed information […]
If your work hours are crazy and there are always things to do, you’re likely stressed most of the time. Many women in high-pressure roles say they can find a client’s missing file faster than a free half hour for themselves. Sure, a high-demand schedule is inevitable if you want an extraordinarily career, but it […]
Being a stay-at-home mom can feel like the most invisible job in the world. You have to run a full-time operation with no clock-out, no appraisals, and sometimes no applause at all. Some days are good, and on some, you desperately need some words of encouragement to feel heard & seen. And that is exactly […]
