There are certain things women are still expected to stay quiet about – and vaginal health is, somehow, still one of them. A recent survey by PrecisionBiotics® revealed that 83% of people feel embarrassed even saying the word “vagina”, and over three-quarters of women would rather suffer in silence than seek help.
When the sun finally breaks through the clouds, we reach for the sunscreen – but how sun savvy are we really? If you’re one of the many who saves SPF for beach days and heatwaves, it might be time to rethink your routine. According to a recent study by Hada Labo Tokyo, the number one skincare brand in Japan, a staggering 65% of women feel sunscreen isn’t necessary unless it’s really hot and sunny.
When summer arrives and holidays beckon, most of us think of sun-soaked afternoons, lazy beach days, and family adventures in nature – but warm weather and outdoor fun also bring an unwelcome companion: insects. Mosquitoes, midges, wasps, ticks, and other biting bugs are more than just a minor nuisance — for many people, they can be a serious issue. Whether it’s a painful sting at a picnic, a mosquito bite that keeps your child awake all night, or the growing concern over tick-borne diseases, bites and stings can cast a shadow over an otherwise perfect trip.
In our daily lives, we’re constantly exposed to invisible threats—bacteria, viruses, moulds, and unpleasant odours—that can compromise our health and comfort. While many turn to chemical-laden products to combat these issues, there’s a growing demand for natural, effective alternatives. Enter Puressentiel’s range of purifying sprays, harnessing the power of essential oils to cleanse our environments safely and naturally.

Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym enthusiast, or a parent supporting a budding young athlete, your feet are under constant pressure. From pounding the pavement to sprinting across courts, the demands of sport put your feet through a lot — and they often pay the price.

Growing pains in children are a common cause of leg pain in young kids, typically between the ages of 3 and 12. Despite the name, these pains are not actually caused by growth – the term has just stuck over time. They are generally harmless and tend to go away on their own as a child gets older. Parents often notice them as episodes of aches or throbbing pain in their child’s legs, usually later in the day or at night.
