Product Review: Danarra Aromatherapy Oil

     Stress is already a part of us. It is inevitable but we can manage it in different ways. Let's take for example the Filipino workers with 9-6 pm jobs. Their day begins with an average of two-hour commute to the office and another two-hour commute to get home. Can you see the picture? Days begin with stress and ends with stress!

     I'm a stay at home mom and I'm experiencing stress too! From daily routine house chores to parenting and daughter duties, I experience stress every day. To keep me sane, I look for ways on how to cope and manage it. Some people enjoy a nice dessert, go for a workout, watch a movie, or spend time with friends and family. These are effective but not accessible immediately, right? There's one thing that young professionals including me have in our bags or pockets- a soothing balm that comes in many forms. The trending now- aromatherapy oil!

Why Women Choose to Freeze their Eggs by: Chris Barry

     Being a woman in the modern world means assuming many roles. Most of us want as much as we can get out of life, satisfying careers that challenge us, successful marriages, happy families, and continued good health. 

     Many career-oriented women choose to review all of their options when it comes to starting a family. Part of this exploration process means understanding that a woman's ability to bear children decreases with time. For a small but growing subset of the population, this knowledge has led them to take proactive steps to help keep their options open for as long as they deem necessary.

Skin Care Products You Have in your Kitchen

     It’s hard to know which skin care products are worth your hard-earned money. For one, everyone has different skin and will respond differently to a product.

     Fortunately, there’s good news for those who get overwhelmed by options: you probably have skin care products at home that you never even considered. Here are some of the best skin care products that you probably have in your kitchen cupboard already.
