Holy Crap I'm 40: Sagging Edition
I am writing this one right after turning 40. The reality has set in. This is it. I am not going to anymore sweet 16's, unless my sons decide that they want to have one. I will not be making out with my high school boyfriend anymore, for many reasons. One of which being husband #1(still my current husband) will probably be very upset. And I will not be sobbing on the floor of my childhood room, listening to Rick Springfield albums, well, maybe I will still be doing that from time to time.

Brighten Your Day by Doing These Amazing Things
I: Listen to music. Happiness is dance music. I know it's very tempting to listen to songs that match your mood but don't you think that is slightly masochistic? I always question why I am listening to a sad song like an idiot while crying. Just when I am sad, by the way, not when I am cheery like a cherry. Here are some recommendations in case you have no idea what to listen to. Some of these songs are in different languages, but the beat is to dance.

Holy Crap I'm 40: Aerobic Edition
There are some amazing looking women in their 40s. How do they do it? I know that it is important to keep moving, which is ironic because it gets so much easier to hurt yourself as you age. If I bend down to carry the laundry basket upstairs, and I move the wrong way, I hear an unpleasant noise, and my back will be in spasm for the rest of the month. Same thing with exercise-it is important to keep doing it, but you have to be so careful not to hurt yourself. Such a double edge sword. But you really do feel better after a workout. Or just keep telling yourself that...

I Bought the Sun for a Dollar
You’re probably familiar with the concept of six degrees of separation, whereby you and everyone on the planet can be connected through a chain of no more than five intermediaries. This small world theory has been considered for almost ninety years and like all theories it may not yet be proven. Still, connections, whether remote or in our faces may impact us more than we can ever realize.

Natural Remedies for a UTI
To use natural remedies for a UTI effectively, it is essential to understand what UTIs really are. Urinary tract infections are the most common form of bacterial infection. They are more common in women than among men and can range from mildly annoying to very painful. It is estimated that around 150 million people develop a urinary tract infection each year. UTIs are usually treated with a course or two of antibiotics, however recurrent usage of antibiotics can cause resistance and infections can reappear. Hence to cure and prevent UTIs, it is best to turn to nature and use the simple but efficient cures. You will be surprised by how natural remedies for UTIs will bring relief and help you get through a difficult time.
