Life Forced Me into a Tailspin so I Changed Directions
The new me is a little overweight, maybe 10–15 pounds, but still sexy as hell. My hair color is varied; according to the box the base color is Beeline Honey, but a stylist added light blond and auburn highlights. At one time, they blended beautifully. Then the grey roots grew exposing a skunk line down the middle of my head. I covered that with some anti-grey wash-in dye my husband used and learned "Just For Men" means not for women. It didn't turn out like I planned so now there are patches yes, patches of brown splattered around as if I recently finished a game of paintball.

Give Up Smoking Tobacco and Relax with a Herbal Smoke Blend.
Is HYPNOTHERAPY Effective for Quitting Smoking? As a hypnotherapist, I frequently hear how difficult it is to quit smoking and how expensive and alienating it is to smoke in Australia. A person must be absolutely committed to kicking the habit once and for all in order for hypnotherapy to be completely effective. To give up smoking for oneself, one must be mentally prepared and possess the necessary willpower. A hypnotherapy session will not be as effective if they are pressured by others or society. Three hypnotherapy sessions are usually required to reinforce the conviction in the benefits of quitting smoking.

So You Want to Be a Runner: A Beginner’s Guide to Running
I’ll never forget my first real run. It was in high school gym class. We had to run around a track for 10 minutes. It had been years since I’d played a good game of tag or had run very far at all.

Introducing Restlessness Worst Nightmare: The Lull Luxe Hybrid Mattress
As a new parent, I have quickly learned the value of sleep. I am now a mother of a precious 8-month old baby girl and the past eight months have been amazing, challenging, and life-changing! I cannot lie, those first few months were a complete blur, but now that our sweet baby girl has been sleeping through the night, we’ve been able to gain back some of those lost hours and we are so very happy about that. We are even more thrilled, because not only have our stretches of sleep increased, but we’ve also seen an improvement in the quality of our sleep. I knew that my sleep wouldn’t be my top priority when my baby came, so I wanted to make sure that when I was lucky enough to be getting some sleep, I was getting the best sleep possible. Since making the switch, my husband and I have both been noticeably sleeping so much better! This is all thanks to our new mattress: The Lull Luxe Hybrid!
