I adore Vick's vapor rub. When you have a cold or flu its a must have and even though it doesn't cure an it, I always feel better. I love those Vick's tissues to. Vick's is not just for chest colds and congestion anymore though. Its a anti fungal and works well on athletes foot and toe...

If its from my garden and its ripe 1 week on the window sill and it will start turning all sorts of funky. I tend to pick them as I eat them though. I try to stick to what is seasonal in our area when I buy them and tomatoes, but we do have them pretty long into the colder months in our yard...

I think that certain suppliments or products that can aide in weight lose but it comes down to changing your diet and being consistant. One good product that helped me is a tea called blueberry slim life by Yogi teas. It curbs my appetite and its really good. Using that and just making...

I have to admit I don't get the "me time" thing. If your doing something you enjoy then all of your time is me time whether your at work, doing errands or taking care of the kids. Make all your time fun and enjoyable and you have all the me time in the world. When my kids were little I...

I stay away from carbs and sugar. They tend to give me a short energy burst then I drop like a rock and all I want to do is take a nap. I will also try to eat lots of greens and protein in the morning. I notice if I stick to these types of foods I have energy all day and I don't get hungry...

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father in an accident 2 years ago and I know how hard it is. Men have a different way of dealing with grief and emotions. They tend to avoid it and your husband is listening he is just suggesting what he would do if he felt like you do. Not listening and...

Thats your neurotransmitters. If they are not balanced outside stimuli can send you into the fight or flight response. Along with the Kava Kava and Valerian root suggestions make sure your diet is really clean and high in amino acids. Lack of any one amino can put them out of balance for some...

I was listening to a natural health podcast on my Ipod about healthy oils a while back and they mentioned two books by Dr Bruce Fife about the benefits of coconut and palm oils. I also saw a segment on Dr Oz about coconut oil. Did a little research of my own and I was amazed at the studies and...

I cook with coconut oil. Its one of the best oils to use because it passes right through the system. I saw a demonstration on the Dr Oz show that showed the difference between oils and what they do to the blood. It also has a lot of other health benefits. It adds a nice mild flavor to...

Cats need more sleep then humans. They can sleep from 16 to 20 hours a day and its considered normal. Unless your cat is showing other signs of sickness or wont wake easily when you attempt to wake him/her, I wouldn't worry about it. Beth

I'm thinking of getting it done. I have to check with my insurance first. I have 2 kids and thats all we want. We had a scare a few months back. It was so stressful. I know people have kids in their 40's but I just wouldnt be able to handle it and I am not against the right to choose but...

Hey, I want to know how to make carrot chips to. Come on spill it :D I have lots of carrots from the garden this year. Beth

I have a group of girlfriends I get together with about 3 or 4 times a month. We have a great time. I do think its a healthy practice and its important to unwind and enjoy yourself with trusted friends. We used to go to dinner or have dinner parties over each others houses but we didnt want...

High fructose corn syrup is like poison. Its why Americans are so fat. I avoid it as much as possible. I think the corn shortage may do people good. Junk food wont be so cheap and easy to obtain.

There is no cut off date. 35 is just the time when they start to closely monitor your health, history and need for hormonal BC. If your relatively healthy, do not have a family history of breast cancer, blood clots or liver disease and you don't smoke you can stay on the pill longer. Around the...
