I was thinking--is there an aroma that I can use in the morning to help wake myself up? There's got to be something with an energizing scent. I use peppermint soap in the shower and that usually wakes me up, but I'd like something else to kick me into gear. :)

No matter what kind of lip balm I use, my lips continue to be chapped and/or dry. What are some remedies for this? Is there some kind of oil that I can use to prevent this? It always gets this way during the colder months.

Along with making soap, has anyone thought about making those decorative soaps with the items in the middle? I thought about using that for handsoap to place next to the sink. It seems like a neat idea--it's healthier for you to use, plus it also gives you something nice to look at. :)

Has anyone tried tai chi? I am looking at it as an alternative for yoga. My friend goes to a class and she said that it's really relaxing. She compared it to a faster pace of yoga.

I apologize in advance--as this may be too much information. My period ended a week ago and I am still smelling blood everywhere. I do shower and clean every day, so I don't know where it could be coming from. Do you think that maybe it's a mental thing since my period ended?

I got sick a few weeks ago and had virtually no energy. Ever since then, I've stopped running and exercising.

All right, I've been having some minor back problems for a few years. I don't think it warrants a trip to the chiropractor or anything. But, I constantly have the feeling like my back needs to be popped. So, I will twist around and it pops--everything is better. Is this a bad thing? I mean, how...

How often do you go to the chiropractor? My friend goes every week to get her back popped. I don't know a lot about it, but it seems excessive to me. I'd like to go see a chiropractor, but I'm also afraid that it will end up back-firing on me.

What can you take or do to develop stronger nails? My fingernails are kind of bendy and don't seem to be strong as they should be. Also, I have white flecks on my nails...is that due to a calcium deficiency?

For the last few weeks, my right ear has been popping. Before, I thought it was because I had been sick. But even after I got better, it still has continued to make popping noises. Any idea what this could be from? It doesn't hurt...it's just annoying.

I just got a Netflix account and found a huge list of fitness and yoga videos that I can stream to my TV. I'm pretty excited about it because it's something different than say...playing on the Wii Fit or quiet meditation. :) Are there any videos that you all can recommend?

What can I do about dry eyes? I have allergies too, so I think that it may be something affecting me there. I don't get these symptoms enough, but when I do my eyes itch and itch and itch to the point where I feel like I've scratched my eyes out. Any suggestions? :)

I've been having a lot of dizzy spells lately. I haven't been able to get to the doctor yet (in fact, my appointment is two weeks away). Any recommendations on how to remedy it? Luckily, I am working from home now...so I don't really have to go anywhere now. But, I am tired of being dizzy.

I am trying to find a natural shampoo to use for my hair. I don't consider myself high maintenance, but some of the shampoo out there has a lot of nasty stuff. There was an all herbal shampoo that I tried a few weeks ago. It was supposedly hypoallergenic, but it turns out that I'm allergic to...

I normally have a regular cycle of around 27-28 days. However lately, my cycle has been off and it has been getting longer and longer. I've been keeping track of it. One month it was 31, the next month it was 32, then the month after it was 34. Now, I am sitting at day 36 waiting. There is no...

Hi, all. I love listening to music and was wondering what you all could suggest for relaxing music. I enjoy listening to piano music. However, I'd like to expand my collection a little. :) Do you have a favorite artist or singer?

For those of you that suffer from panic attacks, what do you do to calm yourself down? I know that it can be caused from patterns of thinking. For example, I will think of something--like my ex. Then, things will snowball until I'm having a full-blown panic attack.

Hi, everyone. My friend is pregnant and she was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Can anybody share some tips that I can tell her about in regards to cravings? I was pregnant and I remember having cravings for chocolate, ice cream, and brownies! Thank you in advance!
