My husband has suffered from back pain and problems for as long as I've known him.  He's been in one too many car accidents and had one too many sports-related injuries for his back to ever be "normal" again.  Because of this incessant pain, my husband gets deep-tissue massages on a regular basis which seem to work temporarily.  The one thing each and every masseuse tells him is that the muscles in his lower back are extremely weak.

Dr. Michael Ho is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Acupuncture and has been practicing and teaching for more than 18 years.  He believes that the body has incredible healing powers and under the right conditions, these healing powers can potentially restore the body's prior functions.  Dr. Ho recognized that some elements are common amongst people who suffer from similar conditions, such as lower back pain. Armed with this knowledge, Dr. Ho continuously works with innovative engineers and scientists to develop products designed and formulated to help address the specific underlying causes of a problem.

The Decompression Belt is one of his latest inventions and sounded perfect for my husband to try.

I'm guilty of having a horrible diet at times.  As much as I wish things were different, I just completely dislike vegetables and don't eat fruits or fish as often as I should either.  Because of this, I've been taking a wide variety of nutritional supplements for well over a decade.  This way, I can try to make up for what my diet is lacking in order to give my body all of the essential vitamins and nutrients it needs.

I've long been a believer in fish oil supplements for they are a great added support for your cardiovascular system and brain functions.  I made sure to take plenty of fish oil when I was pregnant and while breastfeeding Riley, and to this day, Riley drinks organic milk loaded with DHA.

So I have to admit that I was fairly surprised to learn of a supplement much more powerful than fish oil...krill oil!  Everest Nutrition Krill Oil, found in the deep, pure waters of the Antarctic, is a new generation of Omega-3s that beats the pants off of fish oil.  According to independent laboratories, their Krill Oil was found to be 54x more powerful in antioxidant activity than fish oil.  Keep reading to learn more!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian Smith's SHRED diet has taken the internet by storm, with a "Shredder Nation" following on Twitter and Facebook that continues to grow.  A member of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, Dr. Ian created SHRED while working with people who had success following his previous diet books but had hit stubborn plateaus.

Realizing that there were many more struggling with pockets of stubborn fat, Dr. Ian took to social media, tweeting daily diet tips from SHRED to followers, and soon thousands of enthusiastic "shredders" sprouted up across the country and as far away as the United Kingdom.  The average weight loss in just 6 weeks has been 20 pounds!  SHREDDERS love that the food is inexpensive, regular and tasty and can be found in any grocery store.

One of the best parts of the holidays is seeing family and friends, though one of the worst parts, in my opinion, is actually traveling far and wide for the visits.  Since almost all of our loved ones live in Texas, we typically get in the car and drive for hours on end.

Now while adults find this type of travel rather boring, children tend to find it excruciatingly dull.  And when a child is bored, believe me, the entire trip suffers.  Thankfully, One Step Ahead has two affordable travel essentials that will keep your kiddos happy and entertained throughout those long car rides.

Buying our first home was definitely one of the highlights of my life and over six years later, it's still just as fun, for now I'm enjoying the process of decorating it, room by room!  Our home has two-stories along with a very open floor plan.

When you walk in through the front door, you can immediately see the hallway upstairs, which to this point was completely bare.  I've been tolerating this empty space for years, but finally decided that before another holiday season rolls around, I would do something about it.

My recent quest for quality artwork led me to discover GalleryDirect.com, a fine art publisher who believes in the motto "Fine Art for Everyone!"
