Disasters and accidents can strike anywhere leaving you terrified and unprepared to combat. It has been two decades, but I still clearly remember the day when a kettle filled with piping hot tea spilled on my toddler brother’s legs. Where is the medical kit when I needed one.

Summers are the best – the long days of warmth and sunshine, sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the pool, and ice-cream cones! What’s not to love about it? However, there is one thing though, that we can all agree on that we don’t like about summer. The heat it brings with itself!
When I was a child, my room was several shades of dusty pink which I abhorred. It was my grandma who chose the color pallet when she was still around. The rose-colored wall, the tinted windows, the stuffy polka-dot bedding, the mauve curtains… It should have been pretty cute, but it reeked of niminy-piminy ladylike […]
Who doesn’t love an impeccably furnished and polished garden? On one hand, you have your freshly cut grass and new blooms swaying in the wind, and on the other, there is a snug-looking sofa by the tree where you can sit down, read a book, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Coming up with unique gifts for Father’s Day is not easy. Every year when Father’s Day arrive, we rack our brains trying to figure out the best present.

I have always been haphazard when it comes to managing expenses and following a budget. I forget where I spend and how much cash I have left on me. When the month ends, and I sit down to calculate, I am clueless as to where half of the money goes.
The beginning of the month is glorious – the wallet is brimming with crisp notes, the smiles are wide, and the long shopping list is ready. After paying dozens of bills and splurging, the smiles melt into furrowed brows and sullen expressions.
My home is my haven – the place where I can just be myself, carefree and complete. It is tidy with neatly stacked pillows, dusted shelves, and spotless windows. When I am out on a hot, sultry summer day full of chaotic traffic
If you decide to give me a surprise visit one day, you will most probably find me with my hair tied up in a messy bun, a mop in one hand and a washcloth in the other. I love to clean and organize things. My day often begins with cleaning up after my infant son […]
As a child, I was fascinated by Sci-Fi movies and futuristic world that the Jetsons lived in. The 1962 cartoon was set exactly one hundred years into the future. The family had a very utopian lifestyle; living around an orbit,
I have been battling acne almost all my life. From seeing dozens of dermatologists to spending my hard-earned money on useless skincare products, nothing worked out for me in the long run. I even tried changing my whole lifestyle – I ate healthier, I worked out regularly and indulged
