The thyroid gland conducts your metabolism and is needed for adrenal glands to function well. Essentially, your thyroid is like the main source of power in your ‘house’ (body), while your adrenals are like a back-up generator for use in emergencies or acute stressful situations.

As a SME, many companies forgo and do not see the importance of the most basic of procedures when it comes to running their business. It is only when the pooh hits the fan then the rush to scramble a few googled policies from the world wide web.

So I’ve been asked this question a lot, how did you get your hair this blonde? What did you do?  To be honest, it did not happen overnight.  I spent 2-3 years applying different shades of blondes, highlights, and toners. I must also add that it went through a lot of damage and my hair was brittle at times and I’ve had to cut the ends more often than I would have liked.

This one is for all the pressed-for-time mamas who just want to feed their family something nutritious that doesn’t need all afternoon on the stove. I like shortcuts and I love Asian cooking. One of the local grocery stores sells ready-to-heat udon and ramen noodles. Something about the chewiness of udon just does it for me. What makes this recipe awesome is that you can add what you have in your veggie tray – there is no right or wrong way to do it. Now that the kids know this is possible, I have had to keep this recipe in the regular-loop.

February is here and many human bodies are releasing a big exhale, because January and the many expectations that come with it have passed. During January there is normally a significant increase in the “new you” and “better you” messages through various mediums. Many people experience this as overwhelming, because with it comes the hidden message of “you lack” or “you have failed”. 

My daughter turned 1, which seems completely unbelievable to me. But also feels in a way, like we made it to some kind of parenting milestone. And when I think back on my year as a mom, there have been so many highs and lows on the journey that I sometimes can’t believe we’ve made it this far. I know our first year has been the hardest of my life, but it has also been my happiest. I wish I could say that becoming a mom was perfectly blissful to me, but that wasn’t my reality at all. And I’ve learned that it’s okay to talk about that. I certainly don’t want my daughter one day to go into motherhood thinking that it’s all moonshine and roses. Motherhood is different for everyone, and it comes with a lot of challenges.

Today, we are talking about quality control in wellness.  A quick google search will tell you that quality control refers to a procedure or a set of procedures that is intended to ensure that a product or service adheres to defined criteria or requirements. In one of our earlier posts, we shared our adapted definition of wellness, being “a state of actively living a lifestyle that helps to attain holistic health”.  Bringing it in the context of quality control, health is the state of being and wellness is the pursuit of this state. 

People are sometimes under the misconception that if their Close Corporation is dormant and not trading, that they do not need an accounting officer or are exempted from submitting the statutory returns for the Close Corporation.

As an HR professional I meet both employees who show up for their job as well as employees who are pursuing their career. People who show up for their jobs are simply doing it to earn a salary, whereas people who are pursuing a career have a long-term commitment to building on their existing knowledge, skills, and attitude in their profession.

In current times, we cannot simply be living from month to month financially, thinking that we will have enough savings and retirement benefits for the future.

When I look at my 2 boys, I can immediately see they are not alike. Despite the fact that they look different, they laugh, love and play differently. The way they dress  is also different and I am learning everyday that I should treat them differently as their personalities are not the same.
