When you hear of waist training and images of Victorian women trying to breathe and claiming they’ve got “the vapors” because they’re struggling to breathe immediately pop into your head, you’re not far off. Waist training or waist cinching involves wearing a tight corset or corset like garment that is inches smaller than your actual waist in the hopes that it will compress your core into an hourglass figure.

The sun may provide us with a lot of vitamin D, and being outdoors, in general, may provide a great feeling, but there can be a lot of harm that comes with an abundance of sun exposure without protection. To help slow down the aging process and reduce wrinkles, to help protect getting blotchiness and brown spots, and most importantly, to protect us from skin cancer, you must wear sunscreen. The higher the SPF (sun protection factor), the better – make sure it’s at least 30 SPF.

If you’ve never had to make a pit stop and eat at a fast food restaurant, consider yourself lucky. Not only is the entire menu appetizing at times, but also it’s extremely unhealthy when eaten daily. Worry not because eating on the fly or at a rest stop can actually be healthy – if you know the right things to get.

A lot of fast food places actually carry decently healthy and low calorie meals. You just have to look in the right place and know what to pair them with. Let’s take a look at what some of these fast food places have to offer, and remember, you’re totally allowed to eat whatever you want – these are just some options to help out if you’re looking to eat a bit healthier.

McDonald’s

If you’re in need of a quick lunch go to McDonald’s and try out their Snack Wraps! Both the Chicken Ranch Snack Wrap and the Honey Mustard Snack Wrap are perfect options. Ask for grilled chicken instead of fried, and ask to have no dressing if you’re looking to save calories. If you feel like that won’t be fulfilling, look for healthy options to pair it with like a small fry or a fruit parfait!

As woman we’re naturally going to have our periods, and along with it we may experience PMS. What is it? It’s premenstrual syndrome, which is a group of symptoms linked to our periods. The symptoms can start 1-2 weeks before your period and normally end when it does start. There isn’t anything specific that causes PMS – mainly a change in hormones and the symptoms can affect women differently, but one thing is for sure – PMS sucks!
