Why I Don’t Have An Alarm Clock
BEEP BEEP BEEP! For those of you who aren’t aware of that sound, that was supposed to be an alarm clock. For many people this device could be a device from hell, a pain in the ass, or perhaps some other colourful description. At the same time though people find alarm clocks quite helpful in some situations.

Change Your Circumstances by Changing Your Thoughts

In Time
The years will pass you by and you’ll be left with memories of yourself trying to please others but never pleasing yourself, you will be left with the memories of a life that you spent trying to be like them when you could’ve just been you. And that’s what you will end up regretting most: losing yourself. You won’t even realize it at first, you’ll feel normal and accept the fact that life has passed you by and you haven’t lived, you haven’t found yourself or you chose to destroy who you were before they told you who they think you should be, and it will hurt, in time it will start burning your chest, and your body will ache, and your eyes will feel dry because you will be letting out all the tears you’ve been holding in all these years and yes — it will be too late.

10 Days of Silence
The first three days are easy! I am so cocky, virtually skipping through the residence shouting “I’m a great meditator! I’m a great meditator!” (in Noble Silence, of course). How liberating the strict timetable is; I am so free. So much delight in the minimal choices I have to make: round bowl or square plate? Meditate in the hall or in the dormitory? I’m going to sit in THIS seat to eat my breakfast. I make my bed all neat and French plait my hair. I am having so much fun.

Epilating = Low Maintenance Hair Removal?
Why epilate at all? Well of course don’t at all if you love the body hair you have! I always wish the rest of my body hair was like the hair on my arms; in the winter it’s dark hair on pale skin which I like less because I somehow feel it’s too much of a contrast but in the summer it’s golden and fluffy on tanned skin and it looks all at one and like that’s just how it’s meant to be. When it comes to elsewhere however no such luck; it’s dark and coarse, there’s a hell of a lot of it and I just haven’t been able to reconcile myself with how that looks. If that’s the way you feel too, then here are a few reasons you may choose epilation over other forms of hair removal:

My Story of Chronic Illness
I have been chronically ill now for two years and only recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Over these two years, I have learned a lot about people. I have seen strength, ignorance, pity, among many other things. I have seen the strength in me and in the loved ones around me, but I have also been faced with the look of disappointment and pity as I tell people, no I'm not better yet. And no I won't be getting better.

The Questions This Former Exercise Addict Asks Herself For a Healthy Relationship With the Gym
As someone with a history of anorexia and exercise addiction, I know how difficult it can be to start working out again without worrying about it becoming disordered. Even 5 years into my recovery and 4 years of living without any eating disorder symptoms, there are still times when I feel disordered thoughts worming their way into my relationship with exercise. This can happen very gradually and without me noticing, so it's important to catch it as soon as possible.

Coffee: Elixir of the Driven
You may think it’s a stretch to refer to coffee as an elixir; but, what about as an alternative medicine? I would consider that a stretch too had it not been for different studies on the impact of coffee (or rather) caffeine on the body.
