    How can you stop giving in to impulse buying?
    Oct 18 2026
    Have you ever picked up clothes or random items on a whim, because you were stressed, bored, or just felt like celebrating? That’s what experts call impulse buying. It feels good in the moment, but it often leaves you with regret, and a lighter bank account. On top of that, it fuels overconsumption and harms the environment. So how do you actually resist the urge? Are there any simple ways to stay in control? What about the bigger picture? So how do you deal with that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Is it possible to not love your parents?

    Is it possible to not love your parents?
    Oct 18 2026
    It’s more common than we tend to admit. Some children grow up with parents who are critical, emotionally distant, or unable to empathize. In that kind of environment, attachment bonds don’t always form smoothly. Children may internalize the idea that they don’t deserve affection and that makes it harder to give it back. Add in repeated abandonment, breakups, violence, or addiction, and some children end up feeling no real attachment to the people who raised them. So, can we choose to love less to protect ourselves? But does our love for them fluctuate over time? So then, how should we think about parental love? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why is it so hard to disobey?
    Oct 18 2026
    Picture this: your boss asks you to do something that feels unfair or pointless. You disagree… but you go along with it anyway. It happens all the time. Most of us comply simply because we don’t want to risk conflict or consequences. Why is saying no so difficult? But how far can that instinct go? So why don’t we push back more often? Is it just about avoiding trouble? So is disobedience impossible? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What 5 foods can improve brain performance?
    Sep 14 2026
    Eating a healthy diet that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish can help you keep your brain in tip-top shape. There are plenty of brain boosting foods but here are five that you might want to start including. First of all, oily fish. When people talk about brain foods this is often at the top of the list. This type of fish includes salmon, trout, tuna, herring, and sardines, all of which are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are a major building block of the brain, and they play a role in sharpening memory and improving mood, as well as protecting your brain against cognitive decline. What if you do not eat fish? What foods are good for memory? What’s an all round good food for the brain? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What does my urine colour say about my health?

    What does my urine colour say about my health?
    Sep 14 2026
    Over the course of our lifetime, we around 34,000 litres of urine, according to Business Insider. Urine evacuates the nitrogen-containing waste produced by the organs and expelled into the blood, like urea and uric acid for example. It's also made up of water and mineral salts. It tends to be a clear shade of yellow, ranging from pale to dark at different times of the day. Nevertheless, our pee can come in as many as ten different shades, which can on occasion lead to unpleasant surprises when going to the bathroom. Some are due to what we eat and drink, while others are caused by health conditions like urinary infections, diabetes or kidney stones. As we approach World Kidney Day, which falls on 9th March every year, let’s take a moment to go through all those various colours and what they may mean from a health perspective. To start out, why is it yellow most of the time? What are the oddest colours urine can take on? What if the colour doesn’t go back to normal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
