The Super Powers of One Girl’s Truth

I have always preferred the company of children in my life. They speak the truth. They are present and awake to life in a way that seems to slip away as we become adults.

Grief and Love: Your Path to Emotional Healing and Support

How to Keep Your Vagina Balanced and Clean

A healthy vagina has a pH level between 3.8 and 4.5, which falls on the acidic side of the pH scale. This acidic vaginal environment is protective, and helps prevent unhealthy bacteria and yeast from multiplying too quickly, which can lead to infection. A higher vaginal pH level (above 4.5) provides the perfect environment for unhealthy bacteria to grow, which puts you at risk for infections and inflammation.
