5 Virtual Gifts for the Holidays
It’s time for a new year, and with a new year comes plenty of new opportunities. Whether it be a late Christmas gift, a feel good present to welcome 2021, or even just because, everyone deserves a nice little gift this holiday season. With COVID-19 throwing a wrench in a lot of get togethers and gatherings, gift giving can be that much more difficult. There’s the craziness that is holiday shipping, discreetly trying to find an address without making it obvious to your receiver what you’re doing, and of course, actually picking a gift can be a pain as well.

Why Is Tai Chi Beneficial For Millennials?
Millennials is a broadly defined term for those born in the ‘80s and ‘90s. They came of age at the turn of the century and with the introduction of the internet. Technology has always been a factor in their daily life and as a group, they’re known for heavy work schedules with its attendant high levels of stress and fatigue. And of course, work and family pressures can adversely affect how we think, feel, and behave.

Minimalism as a strategy
The easiest way to control a person is by the presence or absence of something he can’t live without... or simply believes that he can’t. Most of our needs aren’t consciously created by us - they are learned from others and conditioned by the socio-cultural environment we live in.

What are your first thoughts when you wake up? Are they frantic, measured? Perhaps, the first thoughts go to family in the home, their whereabouts, did Eric make it to school…What are YOUR first thoughts, as someone not living with a silent illness?

Small Life Changes With Life-Changing Results
Ireland has just finished its first week of its second nation-wide lockdown, and now more of our friends and family across the UK and Europe will be joining us. It is difficult to believe we are back in this situation only seven months later, and it is even more difficult to remain hopeful. Winter brings with it its own hardship, the days are shorter and darker and the weather is less inviting for outdoor activities, but we must adapt and make the best of what we have. This is our second chance to do lockdown right, we can take what we learned from the last one into this one, and we can truly make time to focus on our own well-being whilst minding others health. To help, I have put together a not too challenging list of 'hacks' to make this winter lockdown a little easier on your spirit.

Unconventional tips for a healthier lifestyle
A way to be healthy without weight-loss Contrary to what everyone seems to promote, weight loss is not the be-all, end-all path to being healthy. Living healthily does not mean constantly looking at the numbers on a scale. Health isn’t about body image, your figure, your bit of extra fat. Being healthy is more about making sure your body and brain are functioning to their best capacity and feeling the best you can. As someone who’s struggled with body image despite being athletic and in good shape my entire life, I’ll be sharing some tips on how to keep focused on health rather than body image.

Electrolytes and Keto
So, you are excited to start a keto lifestyle. You have raided your house of all high carb/sugar food. You have downloaded a tracking app. You have created a file of recipes to try. You even know about the keto flu and have convinced yourself that you won't experience it. You may have even bought a waffle maker for all of those delicious looking chaffles you keep seeing on social media. Perhaps an air fryer has found its way into your kitchen too.
