Meet Christopher. My handsome, sensitive, fiery, creative, smart 7 year old who suffers from allergy induced asthma. Just a regular boy who loves ice cream and playing “minecraft†with his brother. Mi Vida, Mi Amor. I first noticed wheezing when he was 6 months old. The whole family was battling one of those wicked upper […]
Truth time. If you could go back to your teenage self, Freaky-Friday style, and make one change – do one thing differently, what would it be? I’m guessing lots of y’all are yelling muttering: WEAR YOUR FRIGGIN SUNSCREEN. I get the most frustrated about this especially in the middle of winter, when that flattering summer glow has completely faded and left behind only the forehead wrinkles it […]

Available exclusively at all Target stores in the U.S. and on Target.com on April 19, the 250-piece collection includes apparel, accessories and shoes for women and […]
You’ve seen the claims ~ that a new healthy habit can be formed in just 21 days. Three weeks of completing your NY resolution and voila! you’ve formed a habit that you can easily stick with for life, right? If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. I did some research online […]
Avocado. It’s what’s for dinner. And lunch. And even breakfast. While you may only think of avocados for guacamole, there are so many other options for this magical bright green fruit. In the past avocados got a bad rap for being high in fat but research has shown that the fat associated with the fruit […]
Eat more fruits and veggies is generally a floating resolution at the top of all our self-improvement lists. And this is one resolution we are probably in desperate need of making; the average American is eating less than five servings per day from the produce aisle, when it should be upward of seven to 13 servings for most […]
by Rebecca Glavin, therapist For many of us, the time for New Years Resolutions is both exciting and anxiety provoking. Year after year, it seems that many of our New Years resolutions focus on our bodies. We want to get into better shape. We want to lose weight. We want to take better care of […]
The good news? It’s in the girls’ hands, which means the plans, rides, reservations, after party issues and her date will be set well in advance [unlike the boys, who have been known to leave it til the day of to focus]. The bad news? It’s another HS dance, and another chance to argue about […]
At just two years old, my son’s list of preferred foods is about as long as he is tall. If you can relate, you understand how frustrating it can be to try to get a child to eat. That’s why sometimes I have to get a little creative by making snacks and meals that are […]
Simply put…I was in pain. Chronic Neck Pain that radiated up both sides of neck down into my shoulders and lived primarily in the large bone at the base of my neck.I had tried everything: chiropractics, reflexology, yoga, massage, muscle relaxers, opiates, inversion therapy and detox treatments. Nothing relieved my pain long-term. I would get small […]
I had an EIGHTEEN HOUR day last week, y’all. And the crazy part is, there are many more ahead of me between now and New Years. Shopping, partying, cooking, cleaning, prepping, gifting, decorating, hosting, ugly-sweatering… *insert a cliche “tis the season” comment, etc etc*. But seriously, show of hands? I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not the only […]
All the cool girls with long hair are doing it. My heroes at HonestlyWTF show us that you can get a bob-for-a-day just by tucking your hair into your turtleneck, and pulling some piece-y pieces out (of course, cuz piece-y is forever cool). Apparently, it helps to tease the back into a bump and […]
