Money Can Make You a Mommy

They say money can’t buy happiness, but evidently it can buy you motherhood. Shortly after Libby blogged about Celine Dion’s latest pregnancy announcement, I commented about the mega-singing star’s sixth try at conceiving a child. Dion and her husband, Rene Angelil have a 9-year-old son who was conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, the couple wanted to add to their family, so for the past year, Dion has undergone a series of IVF attempts. According to the songstress, the sixth time was the charm. After an arduous journey and multiple failed attempts, Dion is now pregnant with twins, and … Continue reading →

Ten Ways To Celebrate National Eating Disorder Awareness Week

Free yourself from the three Ds: Dieting, Drive for Thinness, and Dissatisfaction with your Body. Avoid making comments about body size or shape — for yourself and for other people!

Tuesday’s Top Ten: A Few of My Favorite Exercises

I enjoy writing about fitness. I enjoy working out. I enjoy learning about fitness. Once upon a time, I was one of those people that bought every fitness fad product that came down the line. I bought books by the tonnage (but I think that has more to do with the fact that I love books) and I bought lots of tools from hand weights to stability balls to resistance bands. What makes it neat is I use pretty much every one of these pieces. Still there are some exercises and exercise routines that I love above all others and … Continue reading →

Ladies, Do You Hate Your Body?

I have a confession to make – I am not particularly fond of my body. It’s not the exact shape I’d like it to be. It doesn’t look like all those size 4 actresses on television and I’m not as tall as I’d like to be. One of my eyes squints funny when I smile and my teeth are not all straight. As a youngster, my parents invested in eyeglasses and eye surgery rather than dental work. So like many women, I fall into the category of hating my body because I was not taught to love it and I … Continue reading →
