Breastfeeding too Sexy?

By: Daniela Silva

Breastfeeding in public has become a very heated and highly debatable topic; should breastfeeding in public really be covered up? Or should this unnecessary hype be disregarded and breastfeeding be treated as what it is? A natural source of nutrition for our infants.

Lets not beat around the bush, breasts have been sexualized to the point where even as new mothers, with sore and engorged breasts, pained from latching feel uncomfortable with feeding our own children in front of people. We have a responsibility to nourish our children when they feel hungry; yet we are expected to retreat and hide in wash-rooms and bedrooms to do so. If a woman chooses to breast feed without a cover it is her choice. If she chooses to retreat and hide because of her own comfort level, let it be her choice. Breasts have become way too sexy, and its a real shame. 

They were made for one sole purpose, to feed and nourish our children. Don't let anyone tell you to cover up, hide away or neglect your child just because they see your breasts as sexual objects.Normalize breastfeeding, it is the most natural way of nourishing and bonding with your child one can have; embrace it.

Animal Protector




By: Daniela Silva
Pitbulls, known as one of the most aggressive and powerful breeds are consistently receiving a bad reputation, and many pit bull owners are denied homes or insurance due to the breed. With 238 psi pounds of force it is really easy to get carried away with fear, however this didn’t matter to Wilson Martins.


Living in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Mr. Martins has dedicated his life to helping animals in dire need; taking  animals found in extreme situations, he provides medical attention, food and the care they are deprived of. Mr.Martins treats all his patients with the greatest medicine; love, and assures they are treated with the highest respect.  

Recently this man provided care to a pitbull that many would turn away in fear of the animals belligerence, however the unforgiving deteriorating conditions that literally eaten away the flesh of the poor animal. With time, the pitbull healed, and looks as though it has never been in harms way, you couldn't tell by its mentality nor were its previous gashes manifested. All it takes is common sense, a big heart and the ability to do something good.
