    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…

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

    05/16 / No Comments

Or if they sell in countries (like mainland China) where animal testing…
