I can remember one of my friends, who suffered from haemorrhoids, use to eat cooked rolled oats for breakfast every day. She said that for her it was the best hemorrhoid treatment.

Cold weather can really dry the skin. Coming from a tropical country, we did not realize how dry our skins could become. Our lotions, creams and moisturisers that were enough in warm weather were no match for the cold of winter. Good thing there was a previous year student who introduced us […]

After coming back from a scholarship abroad, it takes awhile to get used to going back to work. For some people, going back to the old job is undesirable. My friend is one of those who are already restless with the same old and considering that a lot of her friends in the office […]

My brother was reassigned to another city this year. As a medical representative, it is part of the job description that you get transferred every few years. It was a good thing that the company takes care of the moving details and he does not have to think about looking for a long […]
