No FEE Pet Adoption!
It’s the PERFECT time to adopt to a pet. Summer is coming up and there are frisbees to be caught and sunshine to be soaked in. All month long, Best Friends Animal Society is hosting a special adoption event for black cats & dogs. Looks like these fury friends experience their own version of discrimination due to superstitions but c’mon, black goes with everything right!

Speed Up Weight Loss with H20
We’ve all hear the generic drink 8 glasses of water a day rule, but how much water you need to stay hydrated depends on a variety of factors. I want to bring to light a better method of determining how much H20 you should be taking down daily.
It’s quite simple….. 0.75 ounces x your body weight. The recommended is between 0.5 to 1 oz of water per 1 lb of weight. You...

Antiperspirant That Lasts 15 Days
Let’s talk about an invisible little thing you’re probably wearing today. No one knows you’re wearing it, in fact, that’s kinda the idea. Out of guesses? I’m talking antiperspirants and deodorants.
Now deodorant, is really just a way to neutralize or coverup the lovely stink that occurs on a hot summer day or when you’re being called into your boss’s...

Make Your Own Peanut Butter in 15 Minutes
This classic, all time favorite is something most of us grew up with. Mostly in the form of PB&J sammys, but these days it’s part of my diet almost on a daily basis, usually as a snack and sometimes right out of the jar to tie me over until the next meal.
But have you ever tried homemade peanut butter? I’ll warn you, once you do, you won’t be able to go back to store brought...

Stop Hair Loss With One Simple Change
Have you noticed just how much hair ends up in your drain after you wash your hair? Maybe you think having enough to make a small toupee is normal, or for you guys out there, perhaps you haven’t paid attention to your secretly receding hairline.

You Are What You Eat, and Also What You Absorb.
Who doesn’t want soft, touchable skin? Girls and guys alike both use lotion, perhaps even on a daily basis. You probably have some on the bathroom counter, the car, your work desk, your travel bag, and maybe even the bedroom. Which means you’re probably slappin’ on the stuff liberally. Have you ever thought of what exactly you’re lathering on? Lotion is applied directly to...

Unwind on Two Wheels, Maybe Three.
Remember the thrill of getting your 1st bicycle as a kid? Or that exhilarating feeling when mom or dad gave you that little push on the back of your seat, only to realize that the training wheels were off and you were doing it all on your own! It’s easy to forget just how entertaining and relaxing a bike ride can be, and maybe even a little daunting for those of us who haven’t gone...

You should. It just might become your new best friend.
These days, the term “organic” is widely used, along with “natural”, “free-range”, “cage-free”, “grass-fed”, along with a slew of others. Although these all hold some value, how can you cut through the clutter and know where to put your hard earned cash?...
