They promise to solve every storage hassle, every organizational headache, with a single miracle product. Most of the time, that promise falls flat.

the rise of personalized nutrition and its surprising benefits
As someone who’s spent years covering the latest trends in health and wellness, I’ve seen my fair share of fad diets and quick fixes.

Jumpstart 2012
It’s hard to believe, but 2011 is almost over. As I say every year, it seems that 2011 just started a few months ago. Time is definitely flying by. Having a few days off for the Christmas Holiday was great. Not only did it allow me to slow down for a bit, but I also…

How will your church reach your community in the New Year?
It’s that time again, the time we all tell each other how we can’t believe how fast the previous year has gone by. I will admit, 2010 has seemed to fly by. It’s amazing how we start each week on Monday and before we know it, its Friday. Time sure seems to be moving along…
