I was skeptical about a vitamin helping you lose weight.  Really skeptical.  But I did not need my prenatals anymore and decided what the heck.  I needed a daily vitamin, so why not try it out?  Well when I remember to take them on a daily basis (I have a problem remembering any meds!)

Tai and Gillian are fantastic and energetic instructors on any of their Yoga Booty Ballet DVDs.  They take a few moments before the workout starts, and explain some basic moves.  They tell you if a move does not feel right to you, then change it so it does.  YBB Cabaret is an upbeat and funky workout.  There is no room for boredom here.  Lively music and set add to this...

I love to have a pedicure, especially in the warm weather seasons.  But for some reason my nails do not take well to polish.  I would pay for a pedicure or manicure and have the color chip within 24 hours.  Finally one day my mom had me try her OPI nailpolish.  This lasts and lasts!  I can go 2-3 weeks on a pedicure and only touch up one time.  The color lasts and ...

During my pregnancy with my daughter, I discovered that one of my breasts had an inverted nipple.  My lactation consultant advised I wear the Medella soft shell.  This is a round, plastic device worn on the breast.  The outer shell is a harder plastic, while the back is a soft plastic, with a hole that the nipple fits through.  There are smaller holes so the breast can breat...

When I finally decided to go digital, I went to my local Ritz Camera shop.  I wanted to look over many models and have someone right there to answer all my questions.  First I knew NOTHING about digital cameras.  I knew I just wanted  something to take pictures of my kids.  I LOVE my camera!  I have had it for 5 years and its been very versatile and durable.  ...
