I mentioned in a preview review how I was trying to get back into yoga after a long (too long) hiatus. Years ago, when I used to do it regularly, it really helped get me into shape, and I was getting pretty limber! Now, I’m so far out of practice that I can...

While I am a huge fan of smell-good lotions, body washes, and soaps, there are times when less is definitely better. Like when I’m shaving my legs and wind up with all those little, miniscule nicks that you don’t see until they’re in stinging pain...

I have a really hard time getting Jake to brush his teeth at night. I have to stand there and stare at him while he does it because if I don’t, he fakes it. I actually hid outside the bathroom one night and spied on him. He turned on his battery-operated...

I was really excited to have the chance to try CosMedix Skin Care products, because I’m always looking for something new to help keep my skin looking great. I’m getting older, and recently started to notice some of the signs of aging. I’m lucky for...

I have a really hard time getting comfortable at night. I have to keep my head elevated at a very precise angle-mostly because I have some sort of pillow OCD and not for actual health reasons-and the pillow has to be just the right amount of firmness (or softness, if...
