Four Simple Ways or Rules to Lose Weight
Over-complicated diets, rigorous exercise regimes and models all over Instagram give us, as women, a complex in more ways than one. To be the perfect mum, colleague, friend, girlfriend, exercise buddy, wife, we need to keep on top of our lives, and more than likely the lives of our partners, children, dogs, bosses and anyone else who'd like us to look after them, frankly.

Why Hiking Is Shifting Boundaries
More and more, we see people going nuts for nature. People getting outside, traveling far away, taking vacation time from work, to go hiking. Your family, friends, and coworkers. They come back, generally raving about their experience. "The views were awesome," or, "Everything was so gorgeous out there," frequently grace the lips of those recently returned. But the question should be asked - is hiking having a more substantial effect then just providing people with a good view and some exercise?

Living with Type-1 Diabetes
I have type-1 diabetes. I was diagnosed when I was ten years old. I’ve been living with this for 14 years now. It was life changing. In every aspect. How I spent my time, what I ate, what I thought about, what clothes I wore. Today I want to explain what I do every single day living with type-1 diabetes. I hope some of you can relate and feel connected to a community after reading this. It can be hard to find fellow type-1 diabetics online so if you enjoy reading about this topic I hope you stick around.

How Can a Plant-Based Life Create World Change?. Top Story - July 2018.
The rise of veganism has opened a lot of minds and raises a lot of questions about whether raising animals for food is harming our planet. It is no surprise that this is the single greatest source of destruction to our environment. Not only is it harming our bodies and creating world hunger, it is a massive source of greenhouse gases, rain-forest deforestation, water pollution, and land destruction.

My Plant-Based Journey
I made the decision to become a plant-based (vegan) eater a year and a half ago. It wasn't a tough one, as a matter of fact, nothing has ever made so much sense. It all started in Vietnam, the destination where my friend and I became acquaintances with an already converted vegan. Sure, I had heard the term before but never had I looked into it. At that point, I already didn't eat too much meat and my dairy intake had been reduced since my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma back in 2012. I was practically a quarter of a way there!

How I Began to Drink More Water. Top Story - June 2018.
You read everywhere that you need to drink water every week, every day, every minute, and every second to stay healthy. However, there are challenges to that request. For some, it's not an issue based on how a person has grown up based on their parents' strict teachings or self-discipline at an early age, but for those—like myself—who grew up on the thought process of—"Eat & drink what you want while you're young"— which has its limitations. Well, never have I been so wrong.

Meal Prepping - Pros and Cons
I've been meal prepping for about two weeks now (consistently) and I've noticed some changes since I started meal prepping. A lot of people contemplate whether or not they want to meal prep because they feel like it takes a lot of work and that it's boring. Many people do it for different reasons but seeing as I've done it consistently myself, let me tell you the pros, the cons, and the changes I have noticed since I started.

Vegan as a Tantrum
Do you remember as a child when your parents would punish you by not letting you have sweets? Maybe you cried for sweets the next time you were at the store with them. Then, as a teenager they would place an activity or item off limits.

Why Are Mystical Experiences Important?
Albert Einstein defined a mystical experience this way: "The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religion." - Albert Einstein

Becoming a Vegetarian While Being a Teenager
At the age of 17, right before I started my senior year of high school, I watched a documentary about the agriculture industry. At that moment I made a conscious decision to try being a vegetarian. At that moment I also didn't realize how tough it would be to stay committed to that choice.

Being Creative Is a Blessing
I'd like to think of myself as a very creative person. I'm always crafting or writing of some sort. My current major in school is for Interior Design, which is a pretty creative field if you ask me. So I think I qualify to make this list.
