UV Safety

  July is UV safety awareness month. It’s also one of the hottest summer months when people spend lots of time outside in the beautiful sunny weather. This is the season when we’re enjoying the water & amusement parks, outside music festivals & lots of other summertime  outdoorsy  activities. With that said, it’s vitally important for us to stay hydrated and to protect our skin from the UV rays of the sun. My skin is  SUPER   sensitive, and I can’t use  just anything  on my skin. I’m what you would refer to as being,  chemically  sensitive . Several years ago,  when I was uninformed about protecting myself from the sun’s rays,  I used a popular name brand product from a well-known company that’s been around for years. The product promised to not only protect my skin from sun exposure but also repel insects as well. I figured since it was a bright, clear & crisp October day where the sun was peeking through but not beamin...

Working out to Relieve Stress

  I can remember a time in my life when I experienced a steady flow of self-induced stress. At that time, I didn’t realize that it was within my power to change that and that I was the one placing the pressure on myself.

Because it's essential!

  WHY take care of your mental health???   … Because it’s  essential ! We’ve heard that word used a lot in the past year and a half referencing the importance of certain workers being available to service the public. Workers like health care personnel, first responders, grocery store workers, and employees in other essential workplaces. These are the folks that we heavily rely on to care for our critical and necessary needs.  We! Need! Each! Other! To! Survive! We were not put on this earth to exist alone! In the same respect that people play a vital role in our survival, we also have a role to play in it as well. I believe that we too, have the responsibility to take the necessary steps in caring for ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. All these things collectively work together to ensure that we’re receiving the best overall care for our survival.  There’s been a lot of talk lately about Self Care, especially in the wake of Simone Biles withd...
