Last weekend, since I had nothing much to do after some grocery shopping, I decided to pay my best friend a surprise visit. You might be thinking, who comes to someone’s place unannounced? Well, my bestie and I do that to each other all the time. I guess it’s included in the perks of being…
After having 3 kids, I became frustrated with my stretchmark laden body. I felt the need to fix it in order to become beautiful again. So, I tried going to several cosmetic centers to get rid of my belly scars, but I just ended up more disappointed with the results. I just kept making myself…
Last weekend, I accompanied my husband to the mall to shop for a new pair of shoes. He is very picky. And though he only buys one specific brand, he has to make sure that we search every corner, of every floor of the entire mall before he makes his decision. Yes, I must admit…

It’s one of those emotional moments where we cry because we feel hurt for losing the person we love, or we feel guilty because we didn’t do our best, or we get angry because of betrayal. This grieving period is different for every woman. However, I…
I have a friend named Karen and she’s a self-confessed junk-food addict. She loves eating pizza and donuts for breakfast. Fried chicken and burgers are her favorite lunch while chocolate cake and ice cream serves as her mood stabilizers.
