PHILOSOPHY
We are nature’s creatures born into an unnatural world. Exposure to harsh chemicals, unnatural sleep cycles, noise and air pollution, treated water, processed foods – our bodies wade into a deep pool of murky byproducts of modern civilization from the very first moment they start their independent journey called life. What is worse is that the health of many a child will be sabotaged at the very early stages of her development if the expectant mother is not sufficiently careful in her daily choices.
Our bodies are robust and beautiful. We just need to stop disrespecting them. Health is our biggest assets that can be deployed to attain, create and enjoy a rich and satisfying life. Sans that, we end up living lives around our ailments, which is not much fun.
Yours truly,
Babiola 🙂

Everyone stay calm! I’ve done this before…
Today’s topic is simple and familiar. We are going to talk about washing hands – the very fundamental skill we learn in our early childhood from our parents. We all know how to do this, so let’s just get it over with. Ok, so it takes about one minute to wash your hands properly… What? It doesn’t? Well, it looks like someone needs a refresher […]
Do frogs use soap?
When I travel, I carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer. By travel I mean proper travel, way past the luggage check in counter and passport control at my local international airport. Got to keep those hands microbe free, right? Of course, I do not use hand sanitizer in my day to day life – I use soap and water instead. Once I had to […]
Soap? What’s that?
Soap and hand washing go together like sunscreen and a day at the beach. Psychologists suspect that washing hands with soap is a major formative block of a civilized person’s ego. My earliest childhood memory is of my mom standing in the doorway of our bathroom, arms akimbo, her head at a slight angle, looking at me as I turn around to make my way […]
Is calendula your cup of tea?
Wait a minute? Calendula? Pot marigold? Is this the flower my mom used to put in salad dressing to make it look all bright and summer like? Yes, yes it is. As a matter of fact, calendula is such a common flower, that you are probably used to passing by it without looking twice in its direction. It even reminds me of dandelions – the […]
