My Story! 📝
Hey! I have renal failures, both kidneys failed when I was only 11 years old... I’m now 24 and I’m here to share my story. I’ve been in two kidney transplants, my first kidney was from an unknown donor back in 2008. It only lasted about a year but unfortunately, it failed... I was on a treatment called hemodialysis, I didn’t like it. I was very depressed and missed so much school because of it. My second kidney was in 2014 from a family member it lasted longer than my first but unfortunately, I lost that kidney mid last year 2018 due to my unexpected pregnancy. It was the hardest year I ever had to go through because I had lost my baby... I was very sick for months, and also devastated that I lost another kidney. I really thought I was going to die because I was very sick.

Supplements You Should, and Shouldn't, Give to Your Children as They Grow
When it comes to the health of your child, providing them with optimum nutrients should always be a priority. In this day and age, not only is it important to know what type of supplements to give your kid, but also what not to give them as well. Educating yourself on the various vitamins and minerals available will surely help you to plow through all the options to pick the most effective ones. During the growing process of children, what is infused in their bodies will have a huge effect on their overall growth as adults. Lacking on any vital nutrients can also be very detrimental on their overall development.

Maintaining Mental Strength and Inner Peace Using Physical Activity
Are you somehow managing not to lose it from day to day? Well, you are not the only one, as mental health of billions of people worldwide hangs in the balance, because of the stressful pace of modern day life. The challenges we face both at home and at work are making it increasingly hard to stay sane, so an active and conscious effort is necessary in order not to flip out. This is where physical exercise comes into play with the potential to significantly improve the state of our mind. Romans did not say in vain that “a healthy mind resides in a healthy body,” as this principle is topical today as it was two millennia ago. Mental strength and inner peace are, therefore, best attained through physical activity on a daily basis.

Aloe Vera, One of the Most Powerful Plants on Earth and Its Amazing Health Benefits
I have been using aloe vera for a number of years now ever since a member of my family became quite ill and I wanted to find a herbal remedy to help boost our immune system. This is when I came across testimonials and reviews on how drinking aloe can help repair our bodies and cleanse ourselves to get rid of any toxins we may have. Before I researched aloe, all I knew about it was it was great for sunburn as I am fair skinned I have unfortunately been burnt before and used aloe as a cooling gel to help soothe the pain. It always worked, so it wasn’t that surprising to me to hear that it can detoxify our bodies and boost or immune system and possibly be used instead of over the counter medicine, this lead me to go on and buy an aloe plant so that I could make my own smoothies with the whole leaf and try these amazing immune boosting drinks.

Finding Your SPF
As Spring seems to have sprung, we all know that Summer is not far behind; with Summer comes days at the beach, boating, barbecues, and lots of sunshine. It's, in one's own opinion, the best time of the year. But sadly, days in the sun means a higher risk of sunburns, and potential risks of skin cancer, and severe sun damage. Fortunately, most sunscreens on the market today are more than efficient; however, finding the right one for your skin type is vital to save time in the sun, and for your skin, including any medical conditions you may have.

Pain Management
I have been an addict for the majority of my life and I certainly know what it feels like to be without. Without a home, without money, without a cure, and without a clue. Although I have overcome my addiction from heroin and live a drug-free life, I will never forget what the pain and agony of withdrawal felt like. The memory is embedded within my entire being. And that’s a good thing... for me.

Mandatory or a Choice?
Mandatory or a Choice? The controversy about vaccinations has remained constant for many years. The debate is usually a conflict with the idea whether or not individuals should be mandated to have vaccinations. Vaccines in recent years have predisposed individuals to certain diseases in order for the immune system to adapt to potential attack from a disease. While a majority find vaccines mandatory, there are individuals who have the opposite approach.
