Having a difficult mother baby bond with my first baby was probably one of the hardest realities I have had to face as a mother (so far). As an expectant mother I assumed that once my baby entered this world he would instinctively be obsessed with me. It did not even cross my mind that I would have to earn his trust by learning how to be his mother to form that mother baby bond. This may not resonate with all mothers, but for those who are struggling to bond with their baby I want to assure you that it is normal and you areRead More…

Recently wham caught up with art gallery owner Christine Xuereb, also known as Christine X to find out more about this very interesting venture: I have always been interested in art – my earliest memory was of me drawing for classmates and my best subjects at school were always art and maths – and although my plan was initially to become an architect, my life choices led me to take up art as my major subject, eventually taking History of Art and Anthropology at university. With my bad memory and lack of interest in the history of art before modern times, I was slacking butRead More…

A review of medical literature has suggested that probiotics and depression are related and that probiotics may indeed help ease depression.. A gut-wrenching experience. Butterflies in your stomach. Many of us instinctively feel the connection between our gut and our brain. That connection and how the range of bacteria residing in our digestive tract — our microbiome — might help treat mental illness has become a field of interest for scientists in recent years. A new review of medical literature has suggested that probiotics – foods or supplements containing microbes thought to exert a positive influence on our gut — could help ease depression. “ThisRead More…

Wham is always interested in different events and to highlight new opportunities for women, so when we heard of a group of girls playing polo at the Arena Polo we had to go find out what this was all about. I don’t know much about polo except that it’s played on a horse and looks dangerous to me who’s very scared of horses. But in the name of empowerment, information and also because I was quite intrigued, I headed off to the Arena Polo arena at Montekristo Estates to find out more about this sport and these brave women who play it. I met upRead More…

“People ask me all the time how I managed to turn my life around, and my answer to everyone is to try the Six Pack Revolution. My name is Hayley and this is my story…“ At 35 years old, I had some life changing news. For a few months I had notbeen feeling my usual self, but had got on with everything as normal, and brushed it off with being stressed by work, and just tired. I finally went to the doctors and chatted about everything with my nurse, who was concerned that there may be an underlying cause, and asked me to bring inRead More…

Maltese bobbin lace … What comes to mind when you think of it? Perhaps watching your great grandmother working lace when you were a child, perhaps listening to stories about where your mother’s most prized tablecloth came from, memories of hawkers at Gozo selling their lace products or images of British royalty wearing our Bizzilla. Even as lace-making slowly and silently fades into our cultural history, we all have some story to tell or some experience to share.  St Jeanne Antide Foundation’s SOAR service launched a project in late 2019 called A Stitch in Time, to bring women together, especially women who have faced difficultRead More…

A mindful sex app has been created using techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy promoting pleasure, confidence and health for women. For centuries, research has seen a huge male bias, creating a gap in knowledge about women’s health. Research now shows that a half of the men and women surveyed in Britain had a serious lack in identifying and understanding the function of a vagina. This is compounded by poor perceptions around female pleasure that are derived from porn. This is why two young entrepreneurs set out to change the narrative around women’s sexual wellbeing. Quinlan, 29, and Hushlak, 31, have launched a mindful sexRead More…
