Children's fashion is a delightful, ever-evolving playground of hilarity. From diaper covers and tutus to mini fashionistas and unicorn onesies, the growth of children's fashion has brought us countless chuckles and smiles. It reminds us that fashion isn't just about style but also about embracing the joy and imagination of childhood. So, the next time you see a tiny human strutting their stuff in an outfit that defies all fashion norms, remember to applaud their audacity and celebrate the wonderful world of children's fashion!
Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but we can take steps to minimize its impact on our lives. Don't be afraid to experiment with different coping mechanisms until you find what works best for you. And, remember, laughter truly is the best medicine. So, let's laugh in the face of stress, at least for a little while.
While it's common for us to post pictures of celebrities and people who have the gift of fame, you will agree with me that this month is for ALL women, women with and without fame, women of all classes and statuses.
Women are magic, women are special. Women make impact, even without any intent. The mere process of conceiving and birthing life is magic itself. We don't have to try extra hard and we make stuff happen.
Slavery as we know it ended in 1865, but many systemic issues continue to make living and thriving as a Black American tough. While we celebrate Black History Month, we must strive to create awareness of the importance of this month and also fight structures that were built against us.
At the end of a year and the beginning of another, it is common practice for people to set intentions for a new year. The problem that comes with this practice is knowing you may not be able to follow through with the plans. The most important thing is not setting a goal, it's doing what you planned and that's where the hard work is.
So, it's most likely that you have probably broken a new year's resolution you set at some point in life. If you already have resolutions, there's a probability that you have already broken some of these plans.
How about you make one resolution right now and that's to stop planning to change things and then failing to follow through.
It's not easy but the bitter truth is you will have a much better year if your resolutions are kept.
There’s nothing quite like Christmas markets. I mean, what else is there to offer the much-needed dose of holiday season splendour? Is there any other season where it’s acceptable to saunter about with a hearty mug of mulled wine or tea in one hand, and food in the other while blowing your budget on handcrafted shoes, dresses, and the most beautiful ornaments? Another season where it's ok to go shop from your favourite online brands at live markets, making sure to pose with the CEOs for photos in front of an artisanal Santa sleigh asides Christmas? The answer, we can boldly say, is no.

Satin is hands-down the best material for protecting your natural hair, and here’s why:
1. Less drynessMaterials like cotton tend to absorb moisture, which is the opposite of what your hair needs. Satin bonnets are helpful because they don’t absorb moisture, which keeps your hair fresh and reduces the chance of breakage.
2. No need for ponytails
How do you keep your hair out of your face when sleeping? Ponytail? Hairband? Most methods put tension on your scalp, meaning you can wake up with a headache from hell. Satin bonnets offer hair protection and keep it out of your face without putting unnecessary tension on your scalp and follicles.

How to self-check your breastsThere's no right or wrong way to check your breasts. But it's important to know how your breasts usually look and feel. That way, you can spot any changes quickly and report them to a GP.Step 1: Examine Your Breasts in a Mirror With Hands on Hips Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Here’s what you should look for: Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling.

Step 2: Raise Arms and Examine Your Breasts Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.
Step 3: Look for Signs of Breast Fluid While you’re at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).
Step 4: Feel for Breast Lumps While Lying Down Next, check for breast lumps or abnormalities by feeling your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast, and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Press down with your fingers and move them in a circular motion that’s about the size of a quarter (or an inch around). Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.
Step 5: Feel Your Breasts for Lumps While Standing or Sitting Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4.
