Since I've passed 30 long ago and am now nearing 35 years old, I've decided to start taking better care of myself.  One of the easiest ways I've found to do this is by taking daily dietary supplements to help fulfill the essential vitamins and nutrients that my diet may not be supplying.  Admittedly, I do not eat the proper amount of fresh fruits and vegetables and so am probably lacking the natural fiber that supports a healthy digestive system.

Thankfully, FiberChoice has made obtaining the recommended amount of dietary fiber extremely quick and easy, just like taking my vitamins.  I had the chance to review a FiberChoice product of my choice.  Keep reading to find out more about why a dietary fiber supplement could be just what you need to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle.

Those of us who make New Year’s resolutions know that the hard part isn’t making the resolution, it’s sticking to it.  Health resolutions are SO important - about 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented if women maintained a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise, avoided tobacco products and got recommended cancer screenings.  Yet we know that the majority of women put others before themselves and that does not bode well for sticking to a healthy lifestyle.

This year the American Cancer Society wanted to design a program to help women stick to their healthy resolutions.  The Choose You program helps women put their health first and stick to their health commitments by offering social support and financial incentives that have been proven to create long-term behavior change.  Want to check it out and get started?

All you have to do is log onto ChooseYou.com and sign up to make a commitment.   As an extra incentive, women who make a new Choose You Commitment between December 27 and January 31 will be eligible to enter the ‘New Year, Choose You!’ sweepstakes for a chance to win health-related prizes, such as a trip to LA to meet with a personal trainer, spa gift certificates and more.  Keep reading to learn how you can win a Workout Prize Pack here to start you on your way to a healthy lifestyle!

We moms have all been there at one point in our lives.  You've just had a baby and are cleared by your doctor to begin exercising again.  After taking a good look at yourself, you realize that things are definitely not looking as you left them 9 months ago!  But where do you begin to get your body back on track?

Well, Lindsay Brin has had this exact experience...twice, and as a mother of two in tremendous shape, she knows just how to reshape your core and burn away those extra pounds.  I recently had the opportunity to review her 60 Day SlimDown System, which includes a 60 day meal plan, calendar, progress tracker, fit level test and 4 DVDs.  Keep reading to learn how the 60 Day SlimDown could be your key to a new body in the new year!

Personally, I consider shopping a dedicated skill that takes a great deal of patience, a keen eye and a wonderful sense of style.  Of course, if you take shopping and bargain hunting as seriously as I do, then perhaps it could be equated to a sport, just like hunting or fishing.  In order to bag the best game out there, you have to know which hunting grounds to frequent.

This is where stores such as T.J. Maxx and Marshalls come in.  They offer first quality, name brand merchandise for a fraction of the prices charged at high-end department stores.  How are they able to offer you the exact same name brand merchandise for less?  Their buyers are on the hunt over 40 weeks a year for the hottest items of the season. So when a designer overproduces and department stores overbuy, they swoop in, negotiate the lowest possible price, and pass the savings on.

Also, because T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are constantly purchasing great merchandise, unlike department stores who buy seasonally, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores have thousands of fresh items delivered every week.  So, the best shopping strategy is to pop in often.  Recently, I popped in to the nearest Marshalls to see what big deals I could nab.  Keep reading to find out what I bagged on my latest hunting trip!

We've all got them, whether it be from an accident, a surgery, a C-section or a burn of some sort...SCARS!  Some of them are easy to hide and don't cause much notice, but others can plague us with their presence simply because of their location on our bodies.  What do you do when you desperately want a scar to disappear?

Well, now there is an extremely affordable way to greatly diminish the redness and thickness of an unsightly scar with ScarAway.  These professional grade sheets are made from a patented material that provides a unique combination of breathability, flexibility, washability and adhesiveness, with a silky fabric backing for optimal convenience and comfort, even under clothing.  ScarAway comes with 8 reusable 1.5" X 3" silicone scar management sheets, which basically constitutes an 8-week supply.  Keep reading to learn more!

In this day and age, we are all fully aware of how harmful smoking can be to our health.  Most smokers try repeatedly to stop, yet the actual habit of smoking is often much harder to break than the nicotine dependency.  You may have heard about the new electronic cigarettes that have hit the market, which provide a much safer alternative to smoking a traditional cigarette.

While smoking a traditional cigarette is definitely detrimental to your own health and possibly even those around you, it also has other side effects such as yellowing of the hair, teeth and nails.  If you smoke inside your home, you'll also find that your home's walls and possessions will become sticky and yellow over time too.  American Blue Tip recently allowed me to review their Preferred Pack System of electronic cigarettes.  Keep reading to learn much more!
