Review: Lenovo Active Pen 2
I have been drawing illustrations for this blog for a while now. The 3-year old Lenovo Flex 5 (a.k.a Yoga 520) that I use has a pretty nice touch screen that I could use my finger to draw directly. The illustrations were decent but generally lack line weight distinction. Feeling like I should up my drawing game a bit, I decided to purchase a fine-point stylus.

I Wish I Knew – The Postpartum Breasts
POSTPARTUM BODY CARE – A GOOD BRA TO ELEVATE YOUR BUSTLINE AND YOUR SPIRIT Our baby girl is 20 months and she is not a baby anymore! As she is getting bigger and stronger everyday, I found my own strength going the opposite way. It’s about time to get back into a more active lifestyle. One thing I wish I have thought of right after giving birth was that I SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER BRAS during and after my pregnancy. As a first-time mother, I had little time and even less motivation to think about my body in the first year. The least I could have done was…
