Cleaning Out My Closet Has Changed My Life
Now you’re left with pieces that fit you perfectly, look great, match other things and are comfortable to wear. Best of all, there is breathing room in your closet. Actual air space. This means your choices when you get up in the morning are so much more simple – everything is already fabulous, you just have to put it on. Continue reading
Searching for Happiness? Try Something New
Do you ever have those days when you realize that you did exactly the same thing as you did the day before? And the day before that? Like your whole life is a cycle of get up, get the kids to school, get to work, rush home, do homework, get the kids ready for bed, collapse and repeat? Yeah – me too. And that is a terrifying and depressing place to be simply because there’s no *life* in your life, there’s no joy, there’s nothing that’s new. And that’s the crux of the issue – the lack of newness.

Chicken Soup Really Is the Best Cure
In light of my actually having to take a sick day, I thought you might like to know my secret weapon against colds and the flu, and it’s actually not-so-secret. I’m pretty sure your mom told you about this one – because it’s home made chicken soup. Turns out your mom was right (but don’t tell her, you’ll never hear the end of it). The best thing to help when you have an upper respiratory tract infection like a cold or flu really is chicken soup. Continue reading
Keep Your Breasts Healthy Naturally
Take care of your breasts ladies – it’s incredibly important. These days it seems like everyone knows and loves someone who has been touched by breast cancer. We all have mothers or aunts or sisters or friends who have faced this beast, but together we can help to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Make sure your friends know how to take care of themselves, raise your children doing breast self-exams and practicing good eating habits. Love your breasts ladies, it will help to keep you healthy.

Potato Chip Diet?
Does anyone else remember the fake oil in fried food that lets you eat fried junk food – potato chips mostly – but not absorb any of the fats? I mostly remember it because the unfortunate side effect was nothing short of ‘anal leakage,’ which is terrifyingly vivid and obviously enough to make very few people want to risk this stuff. Well, apparently now we have a valid use for this artificial fat and a reason to eat fat-free potato chips (but only 7 per day, because god knows you don’t want the whole anal leakage thing). Continue reading

Pumpkin Smoothie – Best Fall Breakfast Ever
Ok – so I’m all about health food that tastes like dessert – in this case: pumpkin pie. In the fall, it doesn’t get much better than pumpkin pie – especially when I can have it for breakfast and still feel like I’m doing great thing for my body. It’s a win-win. Here’s the recipe for my latest obsession: Continue reading
The Fastest Way to Drop 5 Pounds
I get that for most people being 100% grain-free isn’t the lifestyle they want long-term, but it’s totally worth it if it gets you looking fabulous in that wedding dress, bikini, business suit or on the surf board. This isn’t great long-term because we’re not talking at all about balanced nutrition or healthy calories or any of that – this is just a quick fix for that time when 5 pounds REALLY matters.

Cleaning Your Face With Oil – Thanks Crunchy Betty!
Basically the theory is that applying a cleansing oil to your face dissolves the bad/dirty oils that are already there and when you take off the extra good oil, you also take off the bad oil. Still – it took some bravery to slather oil all over my face, let me tell you. I picked a day to try it when I would have a few days without any major social events scheduled just in case my face turned into one giant zit. Continue reading
The Best Oil for Cooking? The Debate Rages On
Remember when butter was the thing your grandmother cooked everything in? Then butter was the enemy and margarine was king. Then, of course, someone figured out that margarine was killing you and you floundered around until the food network introduced you to extra virgin olive oil (EVOO in case you’re food network savvy).

A Healthy Smile Keeps You Healthy Long Term
So, the thing everyone seems to want to talk about is their pearly whites. People want bright, shiny white teeth that you can see from outer space. Your gums are far less glamorous and hardly anyone asks me anything at all about their gum health, so I’m here to champion the gums because in terms of your overall body health, they’re WAY more important than their much more glamorous cousins, your teeth.
