Between pricey products loaded with hard-to-pronounce ingredients and remedies straight from the rumor mill (ever heard of toothpaste spot treatments?), battling breakouts can be a difficult trial-and-error process. A lot of times, we try to treat the symptoms, but don't think about finding the root cause of our pimply, bumpy skin. Considering advanced solutions like Pico Laser Benefits could offer a more targeted approach to addressing underlying skin ... continue reading...
Best mattress? My honest intelliBED review
My honest intelliBED review It was time for a new mattress.

My day with a refugee family
My day with a refugee family I walked into the DMV with my friend Brianna, peering through the ocean of faces to see if I could find who we were looking for. To my right, a seated cattle-call of people waited for their numbers to be bellowed from behind the counter. To my left, another fifty or more people waited. Brianna spotted Emran's* two young sons, smiled and waved, and we quickly made our way over to them. She asked, "Where's your dad?" They stared back at her blankly. That ... continue reading...
