If you ever had these symptoms: feeling nervous, restless or tense along with an increase in heart rate, breathing rapidly, sweating, feeling weak or tired, there are high chances that you are facing anxiety disorders. If you ever googled “Anxiety attack symptoms” or “How to treat or stop anxiety”, this is the article for you. Here I recommend five Instagram accounts you should follow if you have anxiety.

But first, let’s find out what anxiety is. Understood.org tells us there are two usual types of anxiousness. The first is one most of us experience when we face stressful situations, like going to the dentist, making a presentation, or speaking in public. The other kind involves intense feelings that suddenly pop up for no reason, lasting a long time. This might indicate that you need to take a serious look at things.

And if you step inside anyone’spantry, you’ll find most if not all the necessarybaking essentials. But the question is:how long have they been sitting in that cupboard?

Whether you’re an avid baker or someone who gets an occasional craving forhomemade cookies, it’s important to know how to keep those staple ingredients fresh so you can use them for as long as possible, because using expired baking ingredients can greatly alter the taste and texture of your sweet treats.

In my twenties, I developed a thyroid condition that led me to gain a lot of weight. Unfortunately, I also worked with a group of people notorious for commenting on any and all female bodies wandering past their line of vision. Hearing remarks like “Wow you’ve gotten bigger. You still look good though“, had my already low self-esteem spiralling. 

Once the pesky thyroid was treated and the weight dropped off, it was time for the backhanded compliments like “You look so much better than you did before.”, which also made me feel like rubbish.

If I mentioned to the culprit or the manager that it was not appropriate, I was told to “Stop being so sensitive.”. Eye roll.

Sexual desire in women naturally fluctuates over the years. We sometimes go through high and low periods of passion at the beginning or end of a relationship or when we experience significant life changes like menopause or other health issues.

Our sexual pleasure is impacted by our psychological and physiological well-being. Societal pressures and expectations, and unfortunately, we still don’t have a great understanding of female sexual anatomy or the female orgasm.

When people think of sex, they often think of orgasm as the ultimate way to achieve pleasure. However, adequate research or information about the female orgasm is still insufficient. The end result is not always the best determination of success.

Enhancing Your Libido

Although we can generally define the different ways people tend to achieve a good sex life, there is no common ground as to what a healthy libido looks like, and there is…
