If you are anything like me, you’re probably sitting at home thinking, “Why is it raining?” and more importantly “How do I motivate myself to get to the gym during a torrential downpour?” Rain is one of the rare Southern California elements that seems to be able to clear traffic jams — no one here d
What would you do if there was a magic “feel good” pill you could take each morning that would make you forget about every ache and every pain, every hangover, every worry and every care?

I want everyone to know that I’ve lost 25 pounds … so far. And, I want everyone to know that I did so without running a step! How many of you think that in order to truly lose weight you have to jog or run? How many of you have been told by trainers or friends that the excess weight you’re carrying

Several months ago while interviewing a dentist, I was lamenting about not being able to find “Mr. Right.” My subject looked me straight in the eye and told me, “You’re a very pretty girl, but you’re fat.
