Twin-owned Albany boutique promotes 'slow fashion,' sustainability

Melissa Manno

“It’s not always easy being in business with family but as twins, we have a natural partnership. We’ve been best friends our whole lives," Allyson Smith says

Rom Shop, a sustainable fashion and lifestyle boutique that opened in downtown Albany last year. Twin-owned Albany boutique promotes 'slow fashion,' sustainability.

“It’s not always easy being in business with family but as twins, we have a natural partnership. We’ve been best friends our whole lives," Allyson Smith says.

Twins Allyson and Whitney Smith are identical in appearance, but their distinct personalities contrast in more ways than one. Whitney is a passionate shopper, and Allyson prefers spreadsheets. But what they do share is a passion for environmentalism.

Mental Health Awareness

2022-10-05T08:40:00.000-04:00

Mental Health Awareness Month

What Is Mental Health?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:

· Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry

· Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse

· Family history of mental health problems

If you have, or believe you may have, mental health problem, it can be helpful to talk about these issues with others. It can be scary to reach out for help, but it is often the first step to helping you heal, grow, and recover.

Having a good support system and engaging with trustworthy people are key elements to successfully talking about your own mental health. Find someone—such as a parent, family member, coworker, faith leader, health care provider or other trusted individual, who:

· Gives good advice when you want and ask for it; assists you in taking action that will help

· Likes, respects, and trusts you and who you like, respect, and trust, too

· Allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes

· Listens to you and shares with you, both the good and bad times

· Respects your need for confidentiality so you can tell him or her anything

· Lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing, or criticizing

· Works with you to figure out what to do the next time a difficult situation comes up

· Has your best interest in mind

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month

2022-05-09T09:49:00.001-04:00

National Lyme Disease Awareness Month

May | Tiny bite, huge problem.

May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month, a chance for Lyme patients, activists and educators to spread information on how to prevent Lyme and tick-borne diseases. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection primarily transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks or blacklegged ticks. These tiny arachnids are typically found in wooded and grassy areas. Although people may think of Lyme as an East Coast disease, it is found throughout the United States, as well as in more than sixty other countries. Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete—a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme is called “The Great Imitator,” because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. It can affect any organ of the body, including the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 476,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the US every year. However, because diagnosing Lyme can be difficult, many people who actually have Lyme may be misdiagnosed with other conditions. Many experts believe the true number of cases is much higher.
