So You Want Whiter Skin? The wonders of whitening agent glutathione revealed. But is it for everyone? I was born with dark skin. Ever since I was a kid, it always puzzled me why I wasn’t given the same fair complexion like my siblings when both our parents had relatively light skin tones.

I waited…

Though a popular ‘starter pet’ many people do not know much about leopard geckos. These reptiles are unusual in the fact that they have eyelids, which is almost unheard of in geckos. They also boast a rather hefty lifespan, with the ability to live for 20-30 years with proper care. The oldest recorded leopard gecko lived to be 31 years old. A close relative of the ‘leo’ is the African fat tailed gecko. These geckos generally only survive to 20 years old. African fat tails can vocalise by…

When attempting to come across a potential topic about something that can actually make a huge impact on the lives of people, I aimed at looking for two things. The first was something that can actually affect the lives of people living in third world countries. The world currently goes through enough products to use up about 3-5 Earths, even with all these third world countries being so out of loop of the technological advances that happened in the past two to three centuries. I wanted to be…
