In case you haven’t noticed, selfies are on the rise!
Every person in the world has taken a selfie (aka a self portrait) of themselves at least once. It’s the new thing! And as a photographer, I love looking through selfies on Instagram & Twitter and I love posting them. It’s all part of the new generation!
But what I’ve noticed is that many people take a photo of themselves, put it up on social media, wait for the amazing comments to show…and they get nothing.
And it’s come to my knowledge t...

Do you ever have a nervous feeling whenever you are introduced or meet someone new?
I know their are times where I get a little shy when I do meet new people because I never want to come off as rude or disrespectful.
It’s like going into a job interview for the first time – you have no idea who you are going to meet or you’re afraid you are going to trip and fall flat on your face (which has happened to me before haha!).
That’s why when I work with clients, I always make sure that I give them...

There’s a lot of self-love going around and I absolutely love it!
As a wellness writer, one of the topics I strongly encourage my readers to implement in their lives is self-love and self-care. I think it’s crucial to be able to sit down daily and make sur...

After writing my article about how fitness can help prevent drug abuse, one question I was asked was:
“Doesn’t fitness actually introduces you to the drug world, like steroids?”
I was stumped!
It’s no surprise that steroids are very present in the fitness world. After being asked that question, it made me sit down and think it through. What causes someone to use steroids…and can fitness actually be a gateway?
But before we can get into that, let’s talk about the history of steroids and how it...
