Why is “the power of touch” so important?

There is a Pampers commercial on TV of a new born baby being put in the mother’s arms. Every mother remembers that first touch so well. Touch, is one of the first sense that we develop as a human being from that first touch. It got me thinking that there really is a history of […]

Could what we put on our skin be harmful?

LADIES, DO YOU KNOW YOUR NUMBERS?

No I don’t mean your measurements! Do you know your blood pressure numbers(BP)? And if you know them do you know what they mean? Well I found out my numbers the hard way. It appears that men know much more about their BP numbers than women or maybe it is just me. Last year at […]
