I am posting a video that I found interesting by Dr. Mercola citing the facts about our healthcare industry and how the drug industry is killing us. Everyone of us knows someone who is medicated for no reason.

I will never forget the first time I realized this when I brought my daughter to the doctor and was told that her fever was caused by a virus. This virus could not be cured with antibiotics however he gave me a prescription stating “if it makes you feel better.” Needless to say, I never filled it.

My father in law passed away while on 16 different medications.

My good friend, a gym instructor, is on anti anxiety medication, along with high blood pressure meds and she is only 38 years old. Her son has been on anti anxiety medication since the age of 8.

Americans put more emphasis on sickness and treatment rather than health, fitness, and nutrition. Dr. Mercola has the facts. Spread the word. Pass this video on to your loved ones, share this video using the buttons below, do whatever you can to get this information out there, and most importantly, prevent the use of prescription drugs through, exercise, diet, and natural supplements.

It’s time ladies: time to turn your man on to skin care for men including anti aging creams, cleansers and a good SPF cream. After all, you don’t want him to be a wrinkled mess at 50 when you look 20ish! Men skin care products will help reverse some of the damage done and daily SPF moisturizers will protect him from additional skin damage from the sun.

When we think of men skin care products, we think of shaving cream, soap, and my husband’s favorite…body wash/shampoo. Yes that’s both body wash and shampoo together! There’s no hope for him, however things are changing for many others.

Today, more men, especially younger men, are receiving skin care treatments at spas and physician offices. I hear many of my friends complaining that their anti aging skin products are disappearing faster than normal and many men are starting to ask questions. My brother in law uses the entire men’s Arbonne line and my best friends husband is hooked on her night cream.

While many men skin care products on the market today more than likely contain similar if not identical ingredients as our own, it just wouldn’t feel right for him to buy anything but “skin care for men.” According to Yum Gourmet skincare for men, a man’s skin is approximately 15% thicker than a woman’s, and is generally firmer, showing signs of aging less rapidly. However, once the aging process begins, typically around the age of 40, collagen and elastin production decreases dramatically causing the skin to show rapid and visible signs of aging with the emergence of deep wrinkles.

Effective skin care can slow and reduce aging, restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin. So here’s the thing…it’s Christmas time and what better way to introduce a man to skin care and anti aging creams made especially for him? I even found some natural skin products for your man. Here is a sampling…. (more…)

I am loving the website OpenSky where you can connect to over 60 pros, experts, and celebrities including Mariel Hemingway, Padma Lackshmi, The Juds, Guy Fieri, and Kelly Rutherford to name just a few and get access to their favorite products. Alicia Silverstone, author of The Kind Life Diet and The Kind Life blog, shares her favorite cruelty-free, eco-friendly products, from home and health, to natural skin products and baby.

How Does OpenSky Work?

Join OpenSky and select the experts or celebrities you would like recommendations from or click on a favorite category and begin shopping.

Of course I was interested in what these pros have to say about natural skin products and there is no shortage of them. Most are chemical free, paraban free, cruelty free and give back in some way. Click on Health, then Beauty. Here are my faves…….. (more…)

Be Careful About Night Cream Reviews You Find Online

Nowadays the Internet has become so saturated with review sites that it’s become increasingly difficult to find the truth about personal care products especially teeth whitening, weight loss and skin creams. Read my articles here and here. There are many sites that use articles with the word “review” after certain products you are searching for and if you scroll down there is a list of their own top rated products.

First and foremost, I am not bashing the products recommended however I find most night cream review sites very misleading. If you have been shopping on the Internet for some time, you will notice that there are hundreds of these sites and they all look the same. They were built that way to make you believe that they know the top rated products and you will buy from the site for that reason alone. Worse still, you may get sucked into the “trials” that are almost impossible to cancel.

I sometimes review products here and yes, I sometimes get reimbursed. I will never talk about “top rated products” Who rated them? how many people rated them? and have these people tried them? Where are they getting their info?

Night creams are not cheap so how can you find honest night cream reviews?

Or any honest product reviews for that matter? My favorite place to get honest skin care reviews is Amazon. When I find a night cream that I have heard about as the next best thing, I head over there, type in the product name and read all of the reviews that people posted. People like you and I who have tried the product.

It is by far the easiest way to learn about products, their effectiveness and the side effects if any. I learn about night creams, anti aging creams, eyelash enhancements, diet pills, and even books before I throw my money on the table. Sometimes I am disappointed, as you will be.

Do you suddenly suffer from a skin rash or condition such as Dermatitis, Eczema or Acne? Are you weary of wanting to be well and not seeing many results? Dealing with skin problems can be so challenging because our skin is our largest organ and it’s visible….it’s hard to hide something on our skin. So this, in turn, can affect our self-esteem and how we feel about ourselves in public.

I really believe a huge factor in healing our skin has to do with relaxation about the condition itself. I know this isn’t always easy for all the reasons mentioned above. So if we aren’t aware, we create a vicious cycle of stress and anxiety about skin problems or sudden skin rashes when what we really need to do is relax and let go. Does this sound familiar? (more…)
