Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving because it gives us a chance to stop worrying about work and getting ahead to just simple revel in what we already have and give thanks. Of course, food is part of this festive holiday, too...

Even if you overindulged yesterday, there's still hope. Don't overdo it on all those leftovers and stay on track for the next couple of weeks so you can still fit into that little black dress for New Year's Eve.

Burt's Bees Sold Out

I am dreadfully disappointed to discover that Burt's Bees, the company I recently wrote about and praised for selling natural cosmetics that don't contain dangerous chemicals, has been sold. Can you imagine who purchased this natural company for over 900 million bucks? Clorox. Although they claim to be buying Burt's Bees to bolster their image, that's extremely speculative. Can you imagine the Clorox execs hanging out the the guy on the Burt's Bees package? 'Nuff said.

Leave That Candy Alone!

Just a short entry today for all the moms that are eyeing their kids' leftover Halloween candy - leave that candy alone!

Your figure and your skin will show the telltale signs of sneaky Halloween candy picking so avoid temptation so you can remain at your best. After all, those holiday gatherings are right around the corner and you will want to look attractive for all the photos. (Anyway, you want to save those few precious flex pounds for homecooked holiday meals and baked goods.)

So if you're tired of the kids bouncing around on candy and the temptation is overwhelming you - get rid of the excess rather than storing it on your hips!
