Many bad ingredients in skincare products don’t even benefit your skin at all; they’...

  The one thing that a lot of people started paying attention to after the lockdown started was taking care of their skin. So by now, you must be at least a little familiar with the concept of “skincare routine” and how certain products are a “must include”, namely cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. But a lot of times, people choose to skip toner under the assumption that it is simply an additional step that cancels out applying a cleanser in the first place.

It would always be on paws whenever in need - Dog-walking the other dogs in the neighbourhood, playing with my little one, and running up and down the trampoline, were some of his favourite activities. There are times when Tiger and all the pet guard dogs seem indispensable, more than our humans. I'm sure most owners will agree. So, his friend from the park - Splendour went missing one day. Never has it happened before, for he was just 6 and never went out on his own. It was mysterious because last he was seen was in his owner’s backyard. Very coincidentally, around the same hour, an alert on my phone about animal cruelty popped up. It just sent the chills in my spine when I imagined the possibility of Splendour’s or Tiger’s abduction for the crazy needs of humans. My mind started having a flash of thoughts – Mascaras being drawn under his eyes, chemicals being injected into his leg muscles to determine the allergic reaction...
