Why I Love Sugaring Instead of Waxing
Growing up in a predominantly Filipino household, I was fed the myth that if I shaved my legs, the hair would grow thicker.

There are many healthy practices that can be done to help with aging. Looking at these practices as habits and a way of living helps commit to consistency for better results.
