Let’s face it, the cold, wintry months often turn even the brownest of tans into a muddled shade of transparent. And, while wintertime often projects images of beautiful snow and ice, there are those of us that do not wish to blend in with the scenery.

It is so easy to take our work home with us, before opening a bottle (or two) to help us then try and forget it – a cycle that can leave us feeling over-worked and under slept. Thus, in an era where technology allows us to work wherever and whenever we want, it’s growing ever more important that we learn how to switch it, and ourselves, off. That’s why we’ve created this list of five easy, effective ways that will help you to do exactly that.

Heat rashes usually occur when the sweat glands under the skin are blocked and the sweat is unable to reach the surface of the skin to evaporate. This causes inflammation that results into rashes which are referred to as blisters. Since these rashes tend to give that prickly itchy feeling, they are sometimes also called prickly heat.

Usually these blisters are mild and are filled with a transparent fluid or serum. In some cases, they may get infected and get filled with pus and blood. The surrounding area becomes red, itchy, inflamed and sensitive to touch.

Menstruation is something which women live with for an average of 40 years. Yes… it sounds rather a very long time indeed. But, although it is a major part of our lives, most women, don’t accept it as a boon or a gift. We make faces, feel depressed and curse the bleeding.
