Nads Wax for hair removal
Nads Wax for hair removal. Summer is here! Yay to wearing my Birkenstocks until they fall off my feet and planning my summer vacations. I also dream about BBQ and wine spritzers. I am heading to Portugal later in the year and I simply hate the thought of the hassle of hair removal while I am away. So I have been looking for better alternatives.

Ways to manage your medication
Chronic Illness is hard. Having to manage your medication may seem simple, but for some, it can be a real struggle. Personally, I take 13 different tablets each morning. This combined with my ‘fibro-fog‘ can lead to real trouble when it comes to managing my medications. This is how I make it work. Use a daily pill organiser This can be great especially when travelling as you only have to worry about dispensing your doses each week. You can buy different sizes depending on the amount of medication you take. They have the day/ time of day printed on each window so you know when you have taken the dose.…
