Happiness is something we chase all our lives. Honestly, if you ask me now, I would probably tell you that the only human beings not really bothered with being happy are infants. But then again, maybe all those crying could also signify their unhappiness. Regardless of age, we all want to be happy right? But it seems there are times happiness is so elusive, it can be frustrating. Anyway, if [...]

I don’t know about you but I’ve been battling undereye circles, puffy eyes and eye wrinkles for only God-knows when. I’ve tried everything, from natural remedies to eye creams although I am not yet ready for “the knife”. Not that I have anything against it, it’s just that I felt I haven’t gotten that far yet.

Caring for your heart, or at least, taking measured steps to a healthier heart should begin at 40. This is because when you reach this age, you are less physically active than you ever were but more mind stressed than you’ll ever be.

First off, let’s define burnout. Burnout is a psychological condition, much like depression.

The only thing that could save you from age discrimination and prevent abuse from happening to you is that if you arm yourself with proper knowledge and information about age discrimination.
