Should someone ask me what my most hidden insecurity is, I guess my teeth could very well be a valid answer. Teeth whitening may be a costly privilege accessible only at a dentist’s chair. I hated my personal orthodontist’s forceful attempts at coaxing me to avail his …

I love a good massage… who doesn’t, really, right? And, sadly, more often than not, it’s not a matter of luxury so much as it’s a matter of necessity. I managed to tweak my back and shoulder over the last (almost) two years at my job, which requires a …
