Guess what? I conducted a lack of sleep study on myself just yesterday. Here are my findings:
1. I teach yoga in the evenings and forgot to bring my teaching clothes. I had to teach in a pair of “skinny” cut wranglers and a fitted blouse. It was weird.
2. I spent 7 minutes (seriously, 7 minutes) looking for [...]
The new lunchtime buffet offers such yummies as Juvederm, Perlane, Botox and Restylane. You can get one of these treatments in the same amount of time it takes to eat a sandwich. Yummmmm…
Dr. Frederic Brandt, a well-known dermatologist, was talking on The View about all these new lunchtime options. He shared his definition of beauty [...]

The National Sleep Foundation estimates that around 75% of Americans are sleep deprived (you can visit their site for more stats and helpful info). I am looking at my clock right now… 2:01 AM. My eyes feel heavy and I’m dreading the thought of my alarm in the morning. I’m realizing that I’m a definite contributor to [...]
The small questions tumble into the bigger questions- Why can’t I find happiness? Why can’t I find my own confidence? Why can’t wars stop and we find peace? So many “Why can’t I/we find _____” questions and the search never seems to come up with anything. This endless angst for answers and accompanying helplessness [...]
Throughout history, religious traditions and healers have known that holy water holds special qualities. Dr. Masaru Emoto “proved” this intuitive truth in his research with water crystals.
