I know you are busy, so trust me when I say there is no judgment in this question: how often do you read product labels when food shopping? I completely understand that it becomes one more thing to do, and how many of us want to spend more time in the grocery store? The problem […]
You may be thinking I’ve lost my mind, that I’m encouraging you to eat bags full of Halloween candy and allow your children to eat the sugar and processed chemicals in candy. No, that’s not what I’m suggesting. But, I got to thinking: if you act like a “meanie” and take the candy away from […]
Have you noticed? Have you seen? Everywhere you look it’s an epidemic of mediocrity. With the endless parade of me-too events and offers. From folks who think it’s good enough to copy what everyone else is doing. To roll out the old marketing Xerox machine. And launch cookie cutter events that leave you uninspired. Just […]
Breast cancer affects one out of seven females (and it finds men, too). It is a disease for which there is no known cure at this time, though scientists valiantly seek answers in studies throughout the world.

“I’m not making wheatgrass here. If I could put an agave plant and some limes on a shelf I would. [The Skinnygirl Margarita] is as close to nature as possible, while still being a shelf-stable product. … We were bound to piss someone off and everyone loves to try to tear down a success. This […]
I get questions from a lot of people this time of year: What is the best food to send for school lunches and snacks? What should I send to school so my child will have energy throughout the day? What if my child doesn’t like healthy food? I was going to answer the questions myself, […]
I crave order yet I don’t quite have all systems in place. On the other hand, I know I’ve made a lot of progress. For example, I used to allow The New York Times to pile up on the floor of my apartment. I felt as if I were missing something if I didn’t read […]
Sleep is vital to our well-being. Do you remember your mother or father putting you to bed as a young child, telling you it was important to get a good night of sleep? Indeed, they were not only right, they were setting you up for a healthy life. Our bodies NEED the hours of sleep […]
