Boy, those advertisements in the magazines and accompanying literature like the hydroxycut reviews,
make the women look fantastic on camera! Hair, makeup, and clothes (or lack of) make a difference. I wish the ads would feature men too. Bodies beautiful can come in both sexes and all kinds of colors, shapes, and sizes.

During my college years back in the 60’s I took an on line calc course to round out my education and enrich myself over the summer. You see back in the time, English majors read, read, read and weren’t expected to do much more. Ah, stereotypes! Thank goodness, times have changed and learning choices are much broader. Wish Onlineschoolsolutions.com was around then.

I just went on line for a multi-media demo of its iGeneration offerings. Click on www.aventalearning.com/aventa-capabilities-demo to see for yourself how effective it is. Here in New Jersey educational programs are in crisis following Governor Christie’s budget slashes. Public schools have been forced to shut down their summer school programs. That impacts their educational choices. Poor students need the opportunity to take/retake courses to keep them with their classes. Accelerated students need the chance to take requisites so the honors fit time wise.

I remember having my oldest tutored in French. I remember having my youngest in summer school for English. I hated the daily drives when I could have been enjoying my vacation, but I did the right thing for the kids. Wish there had been another way like this. Browsing the catalog I learned about offerings by state. Here we have Keystone, both Middle and High, and course choices that rival the best public and private school offerings.

I was a typical mother. I thought all my children were smart, beautiful, and potential models and stars. There were so many precious moments I experienced with them and, no, I do not mean the statues.

Since my four range from 43 down to 25, videoing was not easy back in the day. Motion picture cameras were heavy, huge, and bulky and without many of the features taken for granted today like a zoom lens or a light. I would have loved to relive like the times Bunny’s great cheesecake escapade, JP’s Reese candy packaging, ET’s being cut by rude adults waiting in line for Mickey Mouse, and LA’s explaining why he had contraband soda in his hand. Hilarious, unpredictable, rare–unplanned reality.

I wish I had a camera like the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS back then to take both great photos and high definition videos. This camera is so powerful and yet so small Memories keep the past and its people alive and close. Video is a great way to share them with family and friends.

Do you know what your body’s requirements of MDA’s are? Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dairy, fruit and vegetables supply the energy your body uses. They also supply the vitamins and minerals necessary for balanced nutrition. If you are dieting, cutting calories will affect your functioning. Your doctor can advise you if you need vitamins and/or weight loss supplements to remain healthy.

Several years ago my dentist recommended an electronic toothbrush and I have been using it ever since. It’s great for home; however, it just isn’t convenient to take on trips where luggage is counted, weighed, and paid for. Therefore, I pack a manual one and don’t sweat unpacking it, charging it, or leaving it behind.

Travel bag packed, I just tucked into it an intelligent, kid friendly, Radius Intelligent toothbrush. It is as good as manual can get. It has a built-in two minute timer, a 30 second quadrant timer, a 3 month wear meter, a non-slip re-usable reversible handle for right vs. left handed folks, and a replacement head. Its features are guaranteed to help user timing and technique.

Its big head seemed awkward first try. Then I got used to it. With 65% more tufts on it than ordinary one, its soft bristles are effective both on the outside tooth surfaces and between the teeth themselves. I enjoyed brushing with my Radius Intelligent and plan on continuing to use it. In fact I plan to buy another one to carry 24/7 in my purse. I think one will be worth far more than its $8.99 retail because it will help keep my teeth and gums safe.

The Radius can be found online and in many Whole Foods Markets,, Wild Oats, Duanne Reades, and The Vitamin Shoppes. Go to www.RadiusToothbrush.com for more information.

Doctor prescribed and administered hots, radiation, dermabrasion, and prescriptions followed a long course of over the counter acne medicine for me. In the half century that passed, no much has changed for the treatment of skin problems. Pimples and blackheads remain a social and psyche problem for teens when oil clogs the pores. If only a regimen of better skin and hair care, proper cleansing with soap and water, and better diet choices became routine, I bet more zits would go away.
