Screen That Sun
Jul 1st, 2010
While being sun-kissed can make you look skinnier, healthier, keep up your vitamin D levels, and give you a natural glow—it can also lead to skin cancer, wrinkles, and brown spots. It is important to find that natural balance between healthy sun and becoming a leathery person.
Wear sunscreen. Seriously, just do it. Use a moisturizer Read More

While you may enjoy your vegetarian diet regularly and intake enough calories and sustenance for yourself, you may not be getting the proper nutrition for your developing baby.

Spandex is a Privilege, Not a Right
Something that really irritates me about the gym (other than the obvious act of working out) is the really ridiculous things people wear.
Regular underwear with spandex- Spandex should never be worn with regular underwear, granny panties, and especially not booty shorts. Why? Because it’s tacky and literally everyone Read More

Goat Cheese, Please!
Mar 22nd, 2010
I am obsessed with goat cheese lately for a variety of reasons. Goat cheese is lesser in fat, calories, and cholesterol than cheese from cows, and it is also much friendlier for the lactose intolerant. Goat cheese comes in many varieties, just like regular cheese (i.e. in brie, soft, herb encrusted, hard, or with pepper). Read More
Boozing on a diet….
Mar 9th, 2010
No matter how much people diet, they want that glass of wine. They can give up sweets and fried foods, but when it comes to that glass of wine… that’s where they have met their match. Well, you can have your cake (or drink) and eat it too. Just drink using your brain instead of Read More
