Baoguette Vietnamese Bistro at English Bay. SOO yummy! 😀 The daffodils were out in full bloom and the lush green grass was a great spot […]

Theresa Kachindamoto, the senior chief in the Dedza District of Central Malawi, wields power over close to 900,000 people… and she’s not afraid to use her authority to help the women and girls in her district. In the past three years, she has annulled more than 850 child marriages, sent hundreds of young women back to school to continue their education, and made strides to abolish cleansing rituals that require girls as young as seven […]

Chances are you've seen the meme: "You have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyoncé." The quote is available on everything from coffee mugs to t-shirts to bumper stickers. The point of this motivational saying? If Queen Bey can do anything, so can you. Sure, it's nice to admire the pop star, but loving yourself is key.
