Introducing a New Writer: Sirena Van Schaik
Before I get into answering questions, I would first like to introduce myself since I will be a frequent visitor for the next several weeks or possibly longer.
My name is Sirena Van Schaik and I am a freelance writer. I will be the first to admit that I may not know the answer to some questions but I am always willing to research a topic and find out everything that I can about it. I am, if I may, an excellent researcher and I find that it is an enjoyable past time.Â
So hopefully, after putting my research skills to good answers, I will be able to answer most of the questions that are sent in to me.Â
With that, I would just like to say that I am looking forward to posting on the Savvy Cafe Answers and I would like to kick off my introduction with an answer to a question. Please visit the next post since i have broken this up to avoid confusion between topics.

With this knowledge, it is important to understand that antioxidants are vitamins, phytochemicals and some nutrients [...]
If you have even been a child, you have probably held a snail in your hand as you tried to figure out if there was some way to smuggle the snail into your house without your mom finding out. I know I did and I loved the designs that I could find on the shells [...]
