This article about Sheryl Crow and her breast cancer experience is one I posted EONS ago (July 2007) on another site I used to maintain – www.DaughtersOfBreastCancer.blogspot.com.
Unbelievably, to this day, I STILL get a tremendous number of people reading and commenting on this article! Crazy!
Isn’t it fantastic, by the way, that Sheryl Crow has flourished [...]

Does American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, have a serious health problem? Is it possible that his abrasive nature and “Mr. Grumpy Pants” attitude are due to a deeper issue than just having to put up with Paula Abdul each week?
 
And some of these American Idol contestants… their song choices… their performances that have left much [...]

A few nights ago, we were eating at one of our favorite local spots. We were sitting in a high-backed booth so I couldn’t see the people in front of or behind us. The only person I could see from the booth next to ours was the dad of that family, holding their VERY newborn [...]

The upcoming issue of Shape magazine features actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the cover. Dreyfus is famous for her former role as ”Elaine” on Seinfeld,  and her current starring role in “The New Adventures of the Old Christine”.
At 48, Julia looks fantastic! Fit, toned, lean and healthy… and all natural. She’s proud to say that she has not had [...]

No, I’m not a fan of how Miss B has chosen to behave in the last few years… especially when it comes to her children.
No, I don’t want my daughter watching her videos, singing her songs are emulating her in any way at this particular age! Shoot, I’M too young for some of the stuff [...]

In the past month, I’ve had the opportunity to chat with a few people about career and educational choices and changes they’re making as a result of (dramatic drum roll, please) “the economy”.
As if the palpable stress of so many weren’t bad enough, what I’ve been hearing has made me sad. I know it’s all [...]

Recently, one of my home school science lessons with our daughter was based on how animals adapt to their environment for survival purposes.
 
The lesson described how animals will change a variety of things about themselves in order to “adapt to” or change in response to what’s happening around them. Some examples were: shedding, hibernation, changing [...]

Mike Geary, developer of “The Truth About 6 Pack Abs” program, is one of my exercise and fitness mentors. His program is fantastic!
I’ve been following his recommendations for about a year and a half and it has made staying in shape SOOOO much easier! My workouts are MUCH more effective in MUCH less time! Love [...]

First, if we’re asking this question, I’d have to assume that we’re not talking about fast food, packaged junk foods or cans of soda pop… we must be talking about vegetables, fruit and possibly livestock.
That’s a HUGE step in the right direction!
If we’re trying to decide between organic or local REAL foods… we’ve already won [...]

Oh, relax! I’m not going to tell you that you have to give up your pop!
Only YOU can decide what you will and will not allow to enter your face!!! I’m just here to provide information!
I agree with Dr. Mercola’s comment on this one: pop is one of the 5 worst ‘foods’ on the planet! [...]

I often wonder how on earth we have a chance of ever achieving optimal health and balance when toxic substances like artificial sweeteners and Splenda are allowed in our food supply. Worse yet, how we’re led to believe (through slick marketing) that something like Splenda is actually beneficial!
It makes me sad to think of how [...]

I remember when Vitamin Water first came on the market. I tried a sip of someone’s and thought it tasted like fruit-flavored sweat! Ewwww….!
Knowing what’s in 99% of the “sports” and “health” drinks on the market, we just stick with water anyhow, so I wasn’t too upset about my Vitamin Water experience!
BUT, a few months later, [...]

Last weekend, we had a little bit of an issue with our lovely 6 and ½ year old daughter.

As you’ve probably already figured out, we don’t “do” junk. We don’t keep junk food in our house… we don’t go out and buy junk food… we say “no thank” you to junk when it’s offered to [...]
