As summer draws to a close and we enter into autumn, it’s a good opportunity to pay closer attention to our own health.

In the latest of a series of moves taken by Facebook that makes maintaining a business page even more difficult, they will soon be forcing business owners to also have a personal page in order to continue using their services, under the pretense of "improved security". Because of ongoing privacy concerns, I have chosen not to do so and will therefore be shutting down my Facebook business page until further notice.

With the relaxing days of summer drawing to a close, most of us probably find our lives busier than ever. Back to school. Back to work. Back to our everyday routines.
It can be easy to get caught up in the stress and busyness of life and forget about looking after our own health.
