No hay duda de que los estereotipos de la belleza en algunos sectores de la sociedad están muy marcados y especialmente las mujeres pueden resultar víctimas de la presión por mantener la figura y la apariencia perfecta. Para algunas se puede convertir en una obsesión y casi vivir de ella, pero lo cierto es que con el paso de los años no es secreto que resulta cada vez más difícil conseguir esos estándares que nos marca el entorno. Y ni qué decir de una mujer embarazada después de dar a luz. Para muchas las estrías pueden ser causa de preocupación…
Sophia tenía una mancha en la punta de la nariz que su madre, Amanda Dobbins, percibió poco después de su nacimiento. Los médicos le aseguraron a la mujer de 31 años que se trataba de una marca con la que había nacido y que había motivo para preocuparse. Pero Amanda supo que algo estaba mal cuando la mancha comenzó a expandirse en gran parte de su rostro. El punto rojo creció cubriendo parte de su rostro y de uno de sus ojos. La desesperada madre, de Cardiff, publicó una foto en un grupo de Facebook de padres donde un desconocido…

Having triplets is hard, and there’s no denying it. But the most difficult problem here, as it turned out, is far from childcare itself. What every mother faces, and especially the mother of twins and triplets, is an endless struggle with other people’s opinions and attempts to “fight off” people and their opinions about caring for, feeding, and raising children. Young mother Nina Dufrenne still remembers the pressure that others put on her. The main issues of concern were child care and milk expression. Since breastfeeding and pumping are very energy-intensive activities, especially when it comes to three babies at…
Ashley Graham is one of the most famous models and public figures. After becoming the first ever plus-size model, she made it her mission to spread the message of body positivity. And since Graham keeps it real in every aspect of her life, she’s also made no sᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ of her entire ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ, showing what being a mom really takes. Ashley Graham is the mother of a boy and a pair of twins. She is emphatic in her message that every mother has the right to choose whether ʙʀᴇᴀsᴛꜰᴇᴇᴅɪɴɢ is right for her, regardless of society’s expectations. When Ashley Graham welcomed…
This is the ɪɴᴄʀᴇᴅɪʙʟᴇ moment a woman ɢᴀᴠᴇ ʙɪʀᴛʜ while standing in the car park. Obviously didn’t make it into the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ and had to ɢɪᴠᴇ ʙɪʀᴛʜ in the car park. Those moments when the baby is in a hurry to be born. Your body does what it does. Doesn’t care where you are or what you’re doing. It will not wait until the perfect time or care about ᴘᴏʟɪᴄɪᴇs. Amandan was in ʟᴀʙᴏᴜʀ as her husband rushed her to ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ. But just as the couple arrived at the centre, baby decided she just couldn’t wait. Roberta’s husband ᴍɪᴅᴡɪꜰᴇ anxiously…
Most mums-to-be spend a fair chunk of their ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ wistfully imagining their baby’s birth – the soothing music, the calming massage and ᴘᴀɪɴ ʀᴇʟɪᴇꜰ just a scream away. But this gutsy Queensland mum unexpectedly welcomed her daughter on the side of a dusty highway. In one of the most Aussie birth stories you’re ever likely to hear, Lydia Kirk ended up giving birth on a makeshift bed on the Bruce Highway last week, somewhere between Bowen and Proserpine with a local property owner acting as nurse. The mum-of-one thought she had plenty of time to make it to the hospital,…
A family’s bundle of joy turned out a little ʙɪɢger than they had expected. Because, they wellcome a newborn baby that ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴇᴅ the ʙɪɢɢᴇsᴛ a ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ had ever ᴅᴇʟɪᴠᴇʀᴇᴅ is already in clothes that fit a six-to-nine-month-old. The newborn baby boy, named Finnley, was born weighing in at ᴀ ᴡʜᴏᴘᴘɪɴɢ 14lbs and 1oz – seven pounds ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴛʜᴀɴ the average baby. He ᴡᴇɪɢʜs ɴᴇᴀʀʟʏ ᴅᴏᴜʙʟᴇ the average weight of a newborn.

When Eliza became ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ, she and her husband, Ben, had not even known each other for long. In fact, it was only three months after dating that the couple had found out that they would soon be called mom and dad. Fortunately, they both felt destined to take care of the child and took on the situation excitedly. Charlie is their first child. Six weeks later, she discovered she was ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ again, this time with identical twins, and Jack and Wolfe were born in the same year as Charlie. That’s three births in 11 months, or exactly one year. She…
Pʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ is the best proof of how resilient the female body is. Even if it seems frail, it can endure a lot. The new life developing in the womb and childbirth leaves no doubt – there is no such thing as the ᴡᴇᴀᴋᴇʀ sᴇx. Cynthia is a new mom of twin boys whose Instagram account has gone ᴠɪʀᴀʟ the past few months for a very good reason: She bravely posed before and after ɢɪᴠɪɴɢ ʙɪʀᴛʜ, showing off her ʙᴜᴍᴘ at every stage.

One of the most amazing brand turnarounds have to be Hyundai and its sibling, Kia. What were once inexpensive but durable vehicles that were low on desirability, are now some of the most exciting, interesting and leading edge in the marketplace. And the perfect example is the Ioniq 5 EV. Not only is it a ground breaker for the brand, but it’s also making people think about EV’s who might never have considered one before. How does it do it? Let’s take a look! Unmistakable Design Hyundai started by making the Ioniq look like nothing else from the maker before.…
The current crop of subcompact SUVs helps satiate buyers’ hunger for a utility vehicle that can deliver the goods on versatility but in a smaller package. For an increasing number of automakers, these subcompact entries have proven to be strong sellers. They have rapidly become a crucial cog in the sales machine that powers their U.S. operations. Volkswagen used to be an automaker that was on the outside looking in, with their smallest CUV being the Tiguan. But that’s now changing with the 2023 Volkswagen Taos SEL. Is the Taos a good spearhead for Volkswagen, and can it help supercharge…
Cadillac kept it simple and straight to the point in its business presentation, revealing that not only did the brand see an impressive performance in overall sedan sales but also news that the luxury brand will be unveiling three new EV models this year as it attempts to become all-electric by the end of the decade.

What makes a best seller? A simple question, but not always a simple answer. Often, it’s price driven – America’s best-selling hamburger is not likely the tastiest one you’ll find. On the other hand, big box office boffo blockbusters are often really good. But not always. Well Toyota’s Tacoma is certainly one of the best-selling small trucks, and lately is also the king of resale value – often times demanding prices higher than new! So, we wondered, is the 2023 Tacoma a budget burger, or a movie star with enduring power. Let’s find out. Movie Star Looks Well, this is…
The 2024 Hyundai Kona is continuing its systematic tease campaign, with Hyundai choosing to share some new details about the 2024 Kona Electric, including performance, range, and more, ahead of the 2024 Kona’s arrival on our shores later this year. Kona Electric Gets Class-Leading Range, But U.S. Figures Unknown Hyundai’s announcement confirmed that the 2024 Kona Electric would get the best range figure in its segment. The one catch here is that Hyundai didn’t reveal U.S. figures and instead opted to reveal figures the SUV got under the WTLP measurement system used in international markets. While that means we…
Modern electric vehicles are not only becoming more powerful, but also heavier with the weight gain being noticed by many in the automotive community. Among those that are raising concerns are the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety with IIHS VP Raul Arbelaez sharing his thoughts on the issue in a recent opinion piece. More Weight Means More Crash Forces In a crash, mass is a prominent component when it comes to the ensuing crash forces that they create. The larger and heavier a vehicle is, the more damage and crash forces that they generate. This is especially true with…
The 2023 Lexus RC350 F Sport is an interesting entry in the luxury coupe segment. While the aggressive exterior styling projects sporty driving and track-ready prowess, the RC350 prefers to cruise through the motions with the range-topping V8-powered F model taking on formal track duty. But while the mainstream RC’s approach to the slow life has helped it maintain a presence in the marketplace, it’s also no secret that the model is rapidly aging and losing ground to rivals. But does the RC lineup as a whole still have a few tricks up its sleeve to help it stay fresh…
The Toyota 4Runner has been a rugged off-road warrior for Toyota over the years. While the current generation 4Runner is long overdue for a redesign, the current generation model is still a popular choice among off-roaders. The Japanese auto giant has revealed some notable updates coming to the 4Runner for the 2022 model year. Lime Rush Adds Boldness To Color Pallette A big change that many buyers might notice on the TRD Pro model is the all-new Lime Rush exterior color. This hue first made its appearance on the Tacoma TRD Pro, and the vivid green is one…
The 2022 Toyota 4Runner is a classic metaphor of function before beauty while proving that age is just a number. The 4Runner has existed in its current form since 2009, with the model receiving its most recent refresh in 2013. While the TRD PRO is the model that gets the bulk of the spotlight, other models in the 4Runner family aim to cover any gaps in the SUV’s resume for Toyota. They include the 2022 TRD Sport, which aims to put more on-road performance into the 4Runner’s DNA. TRD Sport Gives 4Runner A Track Suit, Still A Trail Warrior…
