Regular Checkups

Even though I try to stay as healthy as I can, I still don’t like going to the doctor. Nevertheless, I go every summer anyway for my routine check-ups. Not to mention, Type II diabetes runs in my family, so it’s something I have to constantly be mindful of.

Cancer: What Midlife Women Can & Can’t Control

Cancer hit two of my family members in the past 6 months. It’s not surprising, as statistics tell us that for us, 1 in 3 women will develop cancer in their lifetime.
