DIY Restoration Projects
Hi!, So one thing that I find most relaxing is DIY projects. It’s an excuse to get my hands dirty and also spruce up some items at home that might be falling off.

Should we use Remote Health Tracking for our Security Forces?
When I heard about the sudden death of Acting Commissioner of Police Winchroy Budhoo, I immediately thought of all the good members of the security forces who continue to make tremendous sacrifice to protect and serve us. The following week there was a report that a correctional officer allegedly shot and stabbed his wife during a domestic dispute. Let’s be real, to be part of the law-enforcement team in this country means a tremendous amount of stress. The mental health, as we have seen through several unfortunate incidents, can be fragile, which also translates to the fragility of the physical health and well-being. As many studies have indicated, high stress levels tend to…

5 Girl Codes You Should Never Break
A Girl Tribe, your group of confidantes where you can discuss everything from the latest makeup looks, business deals even sexual positions (or lack of) whatever it is, your tribe is run by a certain set of rules called Girl Codes and they usually keep the peace.
