The skin is the largest organ of the human body.

There’s been a war on the womb since Hawah (or as some may know as Eve) tasted the food she lusted after. There were no twitters tweeting carnal details, and narcissism hadn’t yet been cultivated as a lifestyle. Now there’s a new trend among twenty something women. They feel it’s incumbent to alert mankind as to their “status” concerning a contraction of a sexually transmitted disease. […]

People are constantly coming up with new “fad diets”, get-skinny-quick schemes, and diet pills to achieve a smaller physique and most of them are horribly unhealthy. They usually feature an “if you’re hungry it’s working” mentality, and rarely focus on your nutritional needs or maintaining your health. This is why they usually don’t work, and […]

It is more effective than any other product I have used for these purposes, leaving me with an even skin tone, […]

One of my biggest struggles when it comes to weight loss is my sweet tooth. I’ll spend the entire day eating healthy, and following my meal plans. But once I’m finished with dinner and bedtime is drawing near, the sugar cravings begin. I usually give in and eat some dessert because I’ve been strong all […]
