    How To Cope With Initial Pregnancy Anxiety: Three Tips To Help Ease The Burden

    05/22 / No Comments

    Pregnancy is tough, no matter which way you look at it, and it’s important to understand that the different stages of childbirth trigger unique anxieties. Several months in, it may be stress regarding your ability to cope once the baby arrives, or perhaps it’s the physiological symptoms that are taking their toll. Then, during labor, you have several hours of very intense stress as you prepare for the birth.   But there’s also the initial part – the time when you’ve just found out you’re pregnant, and are thinking about the future and wondering how you’re going to manage the situation. Today’s article will focus on just that; here’s how…

Like you’re stuck in place while the world rushes past you, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t catch up? I’ve been there actually, I’m there right now. That all-too-familiar tightness in the chest, the racing thoughts, the mental exhaustion, it’s the classic signs of feeling overwhelmed with anxiety. It’s more than just stress.

    Cruelty-Free vs Zero Animal Testing: What Your Beauty Labels Aren’t Telling You

    05/16 / No Comments

    Let’s talk about one of the most misunderstood phrases on your beauty products: cruelty-free. It sounds nice, right? It gives the warm fuzzies. But here’s the catch — just because something says “cruelty-free” doesn’t mean no animals were harmed in the making. Yep. It’s the marketing version of saying, “I’m a nice guy,” while quietly doing the opposite behind closed doors.   And the sad truth? There’s no legal definition in the U.S. for “cruelty-free.” That means brands can slap it on a label even if the ingredients were tested on animals by a third party or supplier. Or if they sell in countries (like mainland China) where animal testing…

Like, alright, time to fix everything, deep clean the kitchen, plan Pinterest-level meals, and be a fully functioning person again by Monday. Except… who has the energy for that?

    Everything in life carries risk, and even in settings where it seems all is done to mitigate that risk, there are still slip-ups and mistakes when human error is introduced.    When someone visits a doctor for medical advice or a surgical procedure, they place their trust in the professional to diagnose them properly or perform the surgery with expert precision, but unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.   Being a victim of medical malpractice can be an extremely stressful experience; it’ll feel like there’s a huge amount to sort out to get yourself back on your feet as you navigate an array of physical, psychological, or practical matters.   …

    What To Do If You Need To Hire A Lawyer

    05/06 / No Comments

    The majority of people go through their lives assuming that they’ll never really need to hire a lawyer. After all, when you follow the law and are cautious in your day-to-day life, it often seems like something that happens to other people, rather than yourself.   However, the truth is that there are many scenarios when hiring a lawyer is necessary (even if you’ve not done anything wrong yourself).
