Lip balm is one of those everyday essentials many people reach for without thinking twice.

DIY lip balms are simple to make, require only a few ingredients and can be adapted to suit different skin needs. Whether you want intense moisture, a glossy finish or a hint of natural flavour, homemade lip balms offer a…

There is a quiet but deeply painful tension unfolding in many faith communities: women in their late forties who long for children yet continue to postpone motherhood while waiting for marriage, often out of loyalty to religious teachings or cultural expectations. Their stories are rarely spoken aloud, but they raise urgent questions about faith, biology, autonomy, and the evolving realities of modern life. At the heart of this issue lies a simple biological truth: marriage can occur at virtually any age, but childbearing is bound by time. Fertility declines steadily with age, and while modern medicine has expanded possibilities, it…
There was a special kind of excitement that came with secondary school clubs. Beyond the classrooms and assembly halls, these clubs were where friendships were formed, confidence was built and lifelong memories quietly took root. Long before social media timelines and digital portfolios, our after-school activities said a lot about who we were and who we were becoming. The Literary and Press Club For those who loved words, the literary or press club was home. Members spent afternoons reading poems aloud, writing short stories or practising debates that felt far more important than they probably were. The press club members…
When people think of countries, vast populations and sprawling cities often come to mind. Yet, scattered across the globe are nations so small that their entire population could fit into a modest town. These countries may be tiny in number, but many of them hold outsized cultural, political and historical significance. Here are some of the smallest countries in the world by population. Vatican City Vatican City is the smallest country in the world by population, with fewer than one thousand residents. Nestled within the city of Rome, it is the spiritual centre of the Roman Catholic Church and the…

Metabolism slows, muscle mass reduces, and the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure increases.

Reducing or eliminating these foods can support better health in midlife and beyond. 1. Processed meats Sausages, bacon, hot dogs, and cured meats are heavily processed and packed with salt, preservatives, and unhealthy fats. Regular consumption has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure,…
Dear Dorothy, People keep telling me I look angry, distant, or unapproachable. The truth is, I’m not. I just don’t smile easily. Even when I’m happy, my face doesn’t always show it. I feel pressure to constantly soften my expression so I don’t offend anyone, especially at work or social gatherings. It’s exhausting, and sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me. Why can’t I smile like everyone else, and how do I handle the reactions that come with it? Signed,Tiara Dear Tiara, First, take a breath. Nothing is wrong with you. Not everyone wears their emotions on their…
