I use to shave chin and neck everyday. I dont have 2 shave at all now. I use a natural serum and mask from Vie Line Cosmetics. Its not expensive either...I get it from www.vielinecosmetics.com
I have been diagnosed with PCOS for almost a year and ever since iv been experiencing a different body odor that makes it difficult for me to go to the gym, be intimate and just be comfortable. Has anyone else been through this and is there anything that can help?

I'm in search of a partner for a 'body doubling' or accountability project. My goal is to address my eating disorders, which include compulsive eating, binge eating, and food addiction. I'm seeking someone who would like to embark on this journey together with me, sharing our efforts and progress.

Does anyone else get a severe need to nap around 2pm?
4 out of 7 days a week, i feel extremely exhausted to the point of getting a headache or nauseous around 2-2:30pm...regardless of how long i slept that night.
I do have insomnia and have to take meds to go to sleep every night

I noticed my hair has been thinning for the last few years but still manageable. Then I decided to stop the contraceptive pill because I’m 49 and thought my body should go through natural progression into menopause. Since stopping the pill I have lost a lot of hair and fear I will lose it all. I am thinking of going back on the Diane 35 contraceptive pill. I take iron, vitamin d, fish oil and hair and nail supplements
Yeah! Your defiantly not alone suffering from pcos hair loss…I have to deal with hair loss, weight gain, and acne on a daily basis..it’s horrible sometimes I don’t want to be alive anymore because of… read more
It’s a device that calculates what your body is burning for fuel. I have one considering I have major insulin resistance and was curious if any one else who may have tried it out.
