Never (Ever) Look Tired Again

Have you been looking into the mirror and thought to yourself “why do I look so tired?!” Let’s face it, the world we live in is physically and mentally taxing. From mom duties to groceries to house cleaning on top of our professional career, who has the time to get eight hours of sleep while handling everything else they have going on? Nobody.

If you’ve tried everything from creams, serums, and potions for a quick skin fix, chances are they’ve cost you a pretty penny.

Healing and nourishing our skin with foods from our kitchen and garden is both empowering and thrilling.

With the first signs of the spring season on the way, temperature and humidity levels start to rise, you might need to lay off that rich winter moisturizer. Our skin is exposed to less cold, dry air as the seasons change from winter to spring. With an increase in moisture levels in the air, warmer temperatures, and more sunshine, it’s no wonder why the spring season is a breath of fresh air. With more humidity in the air, your skin can experience sudden changes such as acne breakouts, sunburn, increase sebum, rashes, and allergies. 

It’s time to reevaluate your skincare game to work with the weather shift. The warmer months call for minor regiment tweaks that will get your skin glow-worthy for spring. 

Following Black History Month in February, March ushers in Women's History Month. Each year this month is dedicated to honoring the contributions made by remarkable women in history, the heights they've scaled, the barriers they've broken down, and the impact they've left on society. 

In the 1970s, frustrations over women's absence from America's national narrative reached an all-time high, prompting Women's History Month to flourish. The month celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of women in a range of disciplines, including politics, artists, educators, and pioneers all around. On this important month, across the world, every country makes an effort to encourage the social progress of women to make a mark in history.

Working mothers have it particularly difficult, with the impossible task of balancing work and family responsibilities. We're all in different boats after having kids, going back to work when your child is small is non-negotiable for many of us. It could be for financial reasons, or you want to continue working to climb up the corporate ladder.

There's no doubt working mothers are multitasking masters. However, between diaper duties, scheduling playdates, and zoom meetings, today's working women are finding it difficult to achieve unrealistic work-life balance goals. They don't just carpool the kids, get dinner ready, they also put in long hours at work to keep up. 

We’ve listed a few worthwhile suggestions to assist working mothers to balance both parts of their lives as smoothly as possible. 

To call the events of the past decade historic, especially for Black Americans, is an understatement. Most recently, poet and activist Maya Angelou became the first Black woman to appear on our very own American coin. 

While each February marks a time to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of Black Americans, we want to support our local communities this Black History Month in a few meaningful ways. From supporting Black-owned brands to promoting Black artists, there are plenty of ways you can make a change and spark a conversation beyond these 28 days.
