My Struggle With Acne!

I honestly don’t remember a time when I didn’t have to deal with acne prone skin. I know there was a time, I’ve seen the pictures, but I just don’t have the memories. Probably because the only time I had flawless acne free skin was when I was very, very young. You see the

What’s In Right Now?

My friends and I were talking at dinner recently about the current relationship trend. We are all in a committed relationship, but thought it would be fun to share. Snagging a Manther – A reformed bad boy like Russell Brand, an older guy on the prowl like Jake Gyllenhaal….these

Are You Ready For Chapter Two?

A few years ago I found myself at the mercy of the job market. I had worked for many years at the same place in the same field and I had liked my job. My downsizing in retrospect wasn’t really the big surprise it felt at the time and it was a good thing in hindsight, but it took

The Basics of Grocery Shopping!

Every two weeks, on payday, my husband and I go grocery shopping. I painstakingly map out how much money we have, what necessities we need, and then fill in the blanks with what sounds good that day. I am not a picky eater. Growing up eating healthy food was just what we did in our

A Solution For Those Dry, Cracked Heels!

Back in September, I wrote about a new product I tried called “My Solemate”.   Read my September post here. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had hard skin around my heels and in the winter, they would crack and split to the point where they are very painful.

Reclaim Your Youth With Balanced Hormone Levels!

The middle-age spread, why do they call it that? What spreads? It drops, it multiplies, it turns to mush, but I don’t see how it spreads. I guess it’s just a nicer way of saying we aren’t what we used to be. Ah, when I was seventeen you could bounce a quarter off my abs, my

Has Breast Cancer Gotten Too Commercial?

I am lucky; no one in my immediate family has been targeted by breast cancer. However, like most families, with each new marriage, new aunt, new uncle – come new and different realities. In my instance it was the world of breast cancer. Ever since I was a child it’s been a

My Beautiful Daughter!

It hit me the other day how beautiful my daughter is. She is at that age, right before I have to let her wear makeup, when her facial structure is taking shape and defining “her look.” She has these big cow shaped blue eyes set just deep enough to leave just the right amount of

My Feeling About Women’s Heart Disease vs. Breast Cancer!

The short answer to this conundrum is that all women should really strive to lead as healthy a life as possible from an early age to keep both of these killers at bay. The truth of the matter is that breast cancer gets much more attention than heart disease in women; because it affects

Health and Beauty Secrets – Do Alternative Approaches Work?

A friend of mine recently told me about her revolutionary new health secret. You see she suffers from chronic cold sores and a few years ago read an article about the benefits of oxygen drops. Apparently, the cold sore is caused by a virus and viruses cannot live in oxygen, so the
