Personal Care

June is here, marking two significant occasions: Men's Health Month and Father's Day! This is a wonderful confluence of events, giving us the perfect excuse to shower the men in our lives with love, appreciation and perhaps a gentle nudge towards a healthier, happier lifestyle.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an important time to spotlight on the mental health challenges faced by individuals and communities across Jamaica. Mental well-being is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including genetic predispositions, environmental influences and personal experiences.

April is Stress Awareness Month, a timely reminder to delve deeper into the often-overlooked issue of stress and its profound effects on our daily lives. Have you ever wondered why that knot in your shoulders won't go away or why those racing thoughts keep you awake at night?

Lent is a season of reflection, repentance and renewal. For many, it is often associated with giving up a favourite indulgence – chocolate, social media or that extra cup of coffee. But what if, instead of focusing on what we are subtracting, we concentrated on what we could add – specifically, kindness? This year, let us embark on a journey of 40 random acts of kindness that can enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In today's digital age, children seem more attached to screens than their own shadows. While technology has its perks (who doesn’t love a good cat video?), too much screen time can turn them into little couch potatoes. Encouraging them to swap swipes for swings and likes for bike rides not only keeps their bodies active but also helps their minds stay sharp and spirits high.

It’s that magical time of the year again! Yes, the season to be jolly… and slightly overindulgent! Second helpings, festive drinking and late-night binge-watching are the order of the day. Not to mention the stress of shopping, cooking and hosting family and friends.
