Is Your Scale Lying to You?
Comments off
Ever step on the scale and have a hard time believing its accuracy? Now, I’m not talking about delusion or denial…but more about the fact that you honestly can’t pinpoint why the scale is reading a three pound increase in your weight. It happens…it happens to all of us, and it can be very confusing, […]

Are you ‘Old’?
Comments off
The other day I was chatting with a friend about a colleague and when I mentioned that the person was 50, she said, “Oh, they are old.” I nearly fell out of my chair. OLD? How is 50 OLD? I did a quick calculation of how far away I was from 50 and then turned […]

Does Botox give you freedom of expression?
Comments off
One of my biggest pet peeves within the advertising and marketing arena is false advertising…or for that matter, misleading the consumer. It happens all of the time and most of the time, I can let it go. That said, I’ve been fighting the urge to write about this specific topic for some time, but it […]

Comments off
Stress caused from life changes have an amazing influence on whether or not we are able to keep our balance and health in check. Unfortunately, it isn’t always negative stress that does this. Happy occasions and good stress can reek havoc on your healthy regimen just as much.

Comments off
There are times when we are in a rush, didn’t get enough sleep or are just in a bad mood. And, these times may very well bring out the worst in us. Unfortunately, we can be so caught up in our own worlds, that we lose all sense of self-awareness and don’t even realize how we […]

One Diet Doesn’t Fit All
Comments off
Let’s face it, none of us are the same. And when it comes to nutrition, what may work for your best friend may very well pack on ten extra pounds for you. Some of us need more protein than others. Some of us may need more grains. There really isn’t a universal prescription for a healthy […]

Why is Relaxing so Difficult?
Comments off
It is really hard for me to sit still. I have this thing where, if I sit still for too long, I feel like I am wasting time. I also believe there aren’t enough hours in the day…that I could benefit from a 32 hour day, as compared to our […]

Travel and Exercise: Do you take time off, maintain or ramp up?
Comments off
When I travel, whether for business or pleasure, I do almost everything possible to maintain my fitness regimen. Granted, It isn’t always easy and I’m sometimes unsuccessful, but regardless, my sneakers, my workout clothing and my iPod are always packed.
Recently, while away with a friend, she seemed surprised when I told her I would be […]

Top 10: Reasons Spa is more than ‘Fluff and Buff’
Comments off
The past couple of times I’ve spoken at Spa Industry conferences, I’ve heard industry experts describe the consumers’ perception of a spa as “a place to get fluffed and buffed,” implying that spas are purely meant for superficial grooming benefits. Sure, there are definite beautification benefits, but the reality is that there are a lot of mental […]

Why Counting Calories is Overrated
Comments off
by Brett Blumenthal
Our society seems completely obsessed with quantities of food, instead of quality of food. I have read several blogs and forums around the web where individuals will choose a product over another because it contains fewer calories. I’m not talking about major differences in caloric values…this choice is often made around two products […]
