home, living and lifestyle for the modern world

Sometimes I wonder when the breakthrough will come for my six year old. He’s rebellious, he’s disobedient, defiant, cranky…etc. I tell myself to spot the good and throw out the bad but his refusal to cooperate makes it so hard for me to guide him. I was chatting with a friend in US and she [...]

It is hard to resist all the new beauty creams and elixirs that promise youthful and anti aging skin when you are heading towards the big four.
