It is important to note that the price of a retinol product is not always indicative of its quality. There are many affordable retinol products that are just as effective as more expensive products.

If you are new to using retinol, it is important to start with a low concentration and gradually increase the concentration as your skin tolerates it. Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so it is important to wear sunscreen every day when using retinol products.

Starting a new career in my 30s actually makes a hell of a lot of sense.

 Let me explain why.  So I did the whole uni thing when I was 18. I went to university.  I got a degree in psychology.   Now, at 18 years old, I didn't know who the hell I was, and I for sure didn't know what the hell I wanted to study or spend the rest of my life doing.  I personally don't feel like an 18-year-old is qualified to know what they want to do for the rest of their life.  I mean, when you were 18, did you know who the hell you were?  I'm only 34.  And it's only now that I feel like I know myself a little bit.  So starting a new career in my 30s makes all the sense in the world because now I know who I am.  I know what I like, I know what I don't like.  I know how I want to work.  I know where I want to work.  I know the kind of job that I feel will be most compatible in terms of me as a person.  It's all about redefining your success, redefining your personal goals, redefining what is fulfilling to y...

Let me wake up and hit the gym first thing I only have two weeks left at this current assignment. I'm actually working around eight shifts in the next two weeks. So I'm pretty much working three shifts on, one shift off, four shifts on, one shift off, and then one on, and then I'm done. They didn't need me for overtime this week, so I'm picking up two shifts next week. So I'll be working five out of seven days next week. Which is gonna suck. It is my last week, and I might as well go out with a bang and pick up five out of seven shifts. That kind of says something that they need me so much right before I leave. But whatever. I'm just here to make t...

Who is Abducting the Kenyan Youth and Why?

  In recent months, Kenya has witnessed a concerning rise in the abduction of youths, particularly those involved in anti-government protests.
