by David Pollock I know a person who spends hours working out every day - 6 days a week. He has been doing this for the last 60 days and has not lost a single lb. How is that possible?

Most of us can manage to figure out... 4/5/2013 7:07:49 PM
by David Pollock When I think about what things were like when I was a teenager I can't help but make this strange expression that looks like something in between a smile and a grimace. I'm sure most of you make the same face. Being a teenager was fun, it was first loves and first tastes of freedom - but it was also greasy foreheads and relentless acne. When you finally grow out of those pimples you breathe a sigh... 4/5/2013 7:03:48 PM

by JerryWeichman Tweens love to try new things, including dangerous, addictive drugs. Would you be able to tell if your kids were sampling drugs - and how would you respond if they were? I'd like to be able to tell you that teens don't use drugs. Unfortunately, that's not true. I wish I could assure you that tween - kids ages 9 to 12 - wouldn't think of using drugs. But I'd be lying. In my practice, I see tweens every... 4/5/2013 7:00:00 AM
by DrUlbricht It's that time of year again... time to bake cookies, decorate gingerbread houses, and look forward to a good long post-turkey snooze. Overindulging at holiday parties is as much a tradition as hanging stockings over the fireplace, but often comes with a "heavy" price: a widening waistline. If the thought of stepping on the scale in January strikes fear into your heart, why not leave the stomach bulge... 1/7/2013 4:34:04 PM

by MarJennings As a lifestyle expert and designer I always find myself thinking outside the box and looking for inspiration and unexpected resources everywhere I go. This year with a big focus on creativity and one stop shopping I challenged myself not only purchase everything I need for a festive lunch and dinner, but to create a tablescape that also infuses the many resources of my local Stop & Shop grocery store.... 12/16/2012 5:27:27 PM

Fried foods are traditional fare during Hanukkah, commemorating the miracle of the Hanukkah oil that lasted eight days when it should have only last one. Here are some ideas and recipes on how to include your little ones in... 12/11/2012 9:27:05 AM
