For many businesses that pack "grab and go food" takeaway containers aren't a big cause of concern. After all, it's the inside that matters, right? While the quality of your food is what ultimately defines your success, the way it's packaged can also attract or drive customers away, depending on your choice. While styrofoam and plastic containers won't do much for you as a business, the use of eco-friendly takeaway containers can certainly put you one step ahead of your competition, helping you attract more environmentally-conscious customers.

Today's seniors have never been more active. Whether it's participating in various sports and social activities or travelling, most elderly people lead very busy lives and are more independent than ever. Without a doubt, this growing trend wouldn't be possible without the advancements in mobility aids. And I'm not just talking about canes and walkers. Today's seniors rely on far more advanced solutions to move around, such as mobility scooters.

By now most of us are affected by the power of the internet. It has managed to change so many things about our life – the way we communicate, work and shop. When it comes to shopping, the internet allows us to find anything we need, even from a different part of the world, and have it delivered to our front door – all of that without leaving our couch. There's literally no limit to the things that can be bought online – and pharmaceutical products are no exception.

Swimming has got to be one of life’s greatest pleasures; well it is for me at least. I can’t possibly imagine another kind of exercise that’s more relaxing and rejuvenating at the same time, making you feel no effort when staying in shape. Just take a plunge and let water do its therapeutics.

When it comes to basic oral hygiene we all know the drill: brush and floss like your life depends on it. But don't fool yourself, that's the least that you can do for your oral health. In addition to brushing and flossing, using a tongue scraper can help ensure your mouth is fresh and bacteria-free. When you're brushing and flossing you are solely focusing on cleaning your teeth, but there are also millions of bacteria that collect on your tongue throughout the day. Merely brushing your tongue and using a mouthwash does little to remove these bacteria. Almost half of the bacteria in the mouth live on the surface of the tongue, and if not removed, they can cause bad breath as well as other dental health issues such as gum disease.

If you are a dog parent, you certainly know how much your furry pet is active and loves to play. Dogs are curious, intuitive and cheerful animals which entertain themselves all the time with everything they have at their disposal. Hence, choosing toys and accessories...

As the years pass, and I watch society grow increasingly dependent on technology, I start to realize that mine was probably one of the last generations to have experienced a healthy and happy childhood. From tablets to smartphones, today children are preoccupied with objects that rob them of their attention and prevent them from focusing on the real world. Instead of the simplistic toys of the past, today kids are playing with things that are electrical, computerized, and I must say, expensive. Quite sad, isn't it?

The hotness of summer always comes hand in hand with cool clothing rules. And by cool, I mean something that looks good and keeps you cool temperature wise. Apart from seeking refuge in the shade, along with wearing polos, button-up shirts and shorts, the right...

Fashion is an inevitable part of our everyday life. We buy a large number of clothes per year, thus spend a lot of money on creating our look and maintaining a certain style. It is such a powerful tool, as it is a way to say who you are without having to speak. However, the rise of fast fashion and its inhumane corporate practices have prompted the birth of a movement which fights against today's fashion industry and the unsustainability of its business model. In order words, now we have ethical clothing as an alternative to mass-produced clothing.

If you've ever looked at a vast, empty foyer and thought there's something missing, the answer could be an entry table. Simply said, without this one piece of furniture the entryway of a home is not able to live up to its purpose. The entry...
