Experience is the Best learning process
If you are a regular subscriber you have noticed my irregular and infrequent posting on Vocal and Medium. This is not what you may think, I want to share my experience with other writers about the effects of inconsistent publishing. And believe me, experience is the best learning process when it comes to writing.

Preventing Winter damaged hair is easier than you think
Like your skin, your hair can get damaged during the winter. Though most of the cells of the hair strands are dead, the cold and dry atmosphere around the hair can cause great damage to the shaft and roots. It is important to understand the problem caused by the cold weather, it is the key to fixing the damage before it starts. If you don't fix the problem before it's too late you may be dealing with a big problem like dry hair to falling and breaking ends. Either way, Winter can cause lots of problems to the hair and skin, and the best way to fix them is to understand the problems and to deal with them promptly.

It just sucks to be me...
"Your strongest weapon is Hope, Hope says everything will be just fine". Today is one of those days I just want to say what's on my mind. Have you ever had those days when everything was going right? Then, the next day it feels like everything is just going wrong no matter how hard you try. Well, today feels like one of those days. It doesn't matter what I try to do, everything I touch even the words I say just comes off wrong. That's when I just hit me like a truck, "It sucks to be me".

4 Need to know Acne advice from Dermatologists. Top Story - November 2021.
It never occurred to me the importance of a proper skincare routine until I entered puberty. At first, I had no idea what was going on, what was causing my skin to break out, until the last 2 years of high school. I can still remember the Biology teacher going through the material on the Reproductive Cycle, then explaining how estrogen and internal body changes contribute to acne. Then in medical school, I truly understood what was happening. Now once I know what will occur I can definitely help myself and others.

Living in a Material World
We live in a material world. A world where the most prized possessions are the things we can buy. The things of value are those which can be purchased with money. Unfortunately, the more value is given to these things less is given to our lives, our values, and our morals. Money is needed for lots of things But is money worth the life of another human being?

Writing becomes harder with time and experience
As a beginner writer, there are certain expectations going in. But it is only after becoming seasoned that you understand what it takes to become a true writer. Often times the illusion that money rolls in shortly after publishing a well-written article holds precedence. That is just an illusion.

How I have grown on Vocal in just 24 days
This might be my shortest article yet on Vocal. I have been a writer on Medium for the last 2 months. So, far I have published 40 stories on various publishers. In that time I have earned 225 followers and about 700 views. More and more I am realizing it takes more than just writing and publishing articles. No, you also have to market yourself and your articles. On Medium, even though they have their own membership audience, it is hard to earn fast. And if you are a member of Medium you know why.

Vocal, the perfect match for loud writings
Blogging is more than writing articles for others to read. Blogging is the communication of information in writing between the writer and the reader. Likewise, distributing articles on the right platform is important to reach the audience who really need the information you are sharing. After 1 year on my own blog and 3 months of Medium, I realized how important the right publishing platform is to distribution. Now, on Vocal, I am experiencing how life-changing the right platform is.

Don't have "The Butt", how I got mine
Just recently, I published a story on loving your body the way it is. In this article, I explain the struggle of many young and older adults women who are not comfortable with the body. Mostly, because the boobs or the butt or both "are not within social standards" so to speak. It is devastating the lengths women and men would go to, just to be accepted in society. This bothered me to the core that I had to speak out in the article I wrote.
