First of all, read this post from Elastic Waist. People do this all the time around me. They seem to think that because I'm a health writer and am trying to live a healthy lifestyle, that automatically means that I'm judging them for everything that they do. Therefore, they feel…
If there's one thing that's essential to being healthy, it's being alive. This is something which Winnipeg drivers, if my recent experiences as a pedestrian are any indication of, have a conflicting interest with. I happen to value my life. And I'm going to just make the wild assumption right…
Look at my cute little cousins!!! My auntie was telling me that there's a lot of things she didn't know about pregnancy and after the birth that no one thought to tell her. Even simple things, like fluid remaining in the body. Some things, you just have to learn from…
