Meals that are ready to eat when you are! No additional work needed!
Motivated By Joy
Funny how motivation is defined by where we are in our life. When we were young, we were motivated by ice cream cones and candy. As we grew up, that morphed into money for good grades. And as we phased from our teens into adults, we soon realized we were motivated by how much we made in our jobs.
The Key To Happiness: Advice From Bob Mueller
Our society surrounds us with a great cloud of enticement. Wherever we turn, we confront the claim that happiness is just around the corner, a matter of having more or better or newer things. The father of American capitalism certainly endorsed this creed. John D. Rockefeller, when asked what would make him happy, is said to have replied, “One dollar more.” Our economy relies on such unstinting desire. In the sad aftermath of September 11, 2001, when many Americans, stunned with grief, seemed to lose their taste for spending, President Bush personally urged the public to get up and go shopping.

This Antioxidant Can Benefit Your Skin
According to Cleveland Clinic dermatologist Amy Kassouf, the antioxidant vitamin E can benefit skin, especially during the summer when skin may be getting more sun rays than at other times of the year. Topical vitamin E can enhance moisturization, and may reduce sun damage from ultraviolet light (although this does not mean you can use vitamin E instead of sunscreen). Of course, eating more foods with vitamin E is a good idea, but you can also take a supplement (no more than 15 mg a day).
As The Summer Days Wind Down, Curl Up With What We’re Currently Watching

Fitness Wisdom: “Be Disciplined And The Motivation Will Follow!” (Part 2 of 2)
I have a very sensitive stomach, so I try to eat pretty clean and I have to stay away from dairy. I’m not saying I don’t make poor choices from time to time, but I try. When I do deviate from my routine, I just start over. Every day is a new day!
A Girls Trip To Saint Lucia

Love The Skin You’re In: The Importance Of Routine Skin Care (Part 2 of 2)
As much as we may want one magic pill or product to be the answer, it is usually a combination of things that make a difference in how we look and feel. For example, when we think about maintaining a healthy weight, we know that exercise AND a healthy diet are critical. One without the other doesn’t mean as much. The same holds true for injectables and routine skin care. Even if you decide that injectables are something you want to try, it is essential to have a consistent at-home skin routine. If you’re not wearing sunscreen, washing your face regularly, or moisturizing, the injectables may not make as much difference as you’d like. Adding them to an already well-established daily skin routine is the best route.
