Traveling on a Dime
There is a lot of pressure to make sure you’re getting the right flight at the right price. There’s also no telling how long the flight’s price will last, especially when an airline offers a great deal. One part of you wants to wait and do some research, but there are reasons why taking a leap of faith is the best thing you can do. Prices change like the wind and you’ve lost it ! Booking at least 1 month in advance for domestic flights and 2 months ahead for international usually is good. If you’re planning on traveling during a peak period such as Christmas, plan a few more…

Dating again in Mid-life ?!
So many are finding themselves back in the dating game after being in a relationship for many years, either widowed or divorced. This happened to me. While you would think at our age there would be a resemblance of mature dating experiences. Many men and women find themselves inexperienced, and feeling like they are back to their teen years when it comes to the dating world. We have to undo all those thoughts and beliefs that don’t work anymore ! Those in mid-life probably haven’t dated since they were in their 20s ! They find themselves paralyzed with anxiety as they imagine their younger selves and the boys they were…

Why do my feet hurt and what is Plantar Fasciitis ?
This is a topic that I’ve had a LOT of experience with. For those that have had foot pain, relief can’t come quick enough ! There are so many debilitating types from Gout, Diabetic Neuropathy, Neuroma, etc. I’ve had Plantar Fasciitis myself for years. It is excruciating at times. The pain comes usually the minute you step out of bed in the morning. It feels like a hot knife stabbing me in my heel over and over, as well as a burning sensation ! One morning I just woke up to it. I thought to myself, there was nothing in particular I did the day before. Besides getting out of…

Which Milk should you choose-Cow vs Non-Dairy ?
Most of us were brought up thinking Milk does a body good, right ? However many are lactose intolerant so this just doesn’t work, while others are allergic to it. Nowadays there are so many options ! Plant based milk is in high demand. I have been trying several almond, coconut, and cashew milks, and they are great substitutes ! This is a perfect option for Vegans as well to avoid dairy products. This market has been insanely saturated with different varieties all competing for your attention. Below is a list of some common milk types that may help you to decide which ones you want to try : Milk…

Who are you living for ?
Today is Memorial Day and it’s fitting we give thanks to those that have given their lives to ensure our freedoms. Darren Hardy is another mentor of mine and the story he tells puts this into perspective so eloquently. He goes on to say that back in Austria, the Germans had invaded. The men and boys 12 years of age and older in the town were ordered in the town square. The commander told them that they were not a match to take down the German invasion. Their efforts were not going to withstand the army. They stood in a line regardless. He also told them that ” Every 20th…

Menopause, what a relief ?
Menopause isn’t funny. But maybe laughing at yourself can ease some of the insanity. Our ovaries stop producing reproductive hormones when we are in their 40’s -50’s. The symptoms range from hot flashes ( Heat surges as I call them ), mood changes, stress, fatigue, vaginal dryness to name a few. Oh the Glory ! We all know it’s a natural process every woman goes through, but did you think it would happen to you ? Funny, I still feel 20 in my head, but my body thoroughly disagrees !! I bend down to pick things up and find there are new noises coming out of me now. Notice, really…

Meal replacements and mid-day slump relief
Why is it women go, go, go until we reach complete exhaustion ? As a wife, mother and grandmother, I find I end up doing more than my share. Some work outside the home, and then do a 2nd shift in the home, as well as taking care of everyone ! These are two full time jobs for crying out loud ! Have you ever said to yourself ” If I don’t do it, it won’t get done ” or ” No one can do it like I can ” and therefore end up doing it all ? It’s really our fault ! I’m one of those type A personalities…

A Very Important Wish for all the Mothers out there…
Mothers believe in us more than we believe in ourselves ! They do more, worry more, and pray more about us than we’ll ever know. No matter how old we get, or how our lives change through the years, or distance separates us, there will always be that bond that never fades. It’s built in. I am a mother and grandmother to some of the best individuals I know, some very little and some much taller than me. It fills my heart to know that they are are thriving and becoming terrific people. Mom, as I look back on my childhood, I see that you sacrificed a great deal so…
