Don't Let the Winter Blues Hold You Back

If you find that February, to you, means an endless line of coffee cups and chocolate bars, then you may be surprised to find out that it's not just about a weakness of willpower for keeping your new year's resolution to lose weight. There is another rational explanation to your cravings for sugar and caffeine - lack of sunlight.

To remain healthy and happy, and beat those winter blues, you should try to get at least thirty minutes of sunlight every single day. The most important part of this time is making sure that the sunlight you receive gets to the back of your eyes for at least ten minutes of this time.

I Can't Sleep!
By Ellen Corsi

How many times have we said this during our lifetime: "I can't sleep!" No matter how great of a sleeper you may be, there is always one night, somewhere along the line, where you just can't get your Zzzz's. Then, after one of these episodes, a tough day followsuntil you can again, get that great night's sleep.

Usually when you have trouble sleeping, something is on your mind. It can create anxiety and restlessness that you just can't shake, and this leads to sleeplessness. It could be a big meeting the next day, financial worries, personal relationship problems, or a number of other reasons that are keeping you awake at night. Your mind just keeps on churning thoughts around and around, and it seems like nothing can stop it.... Read full article

15 Ways to Say I Love You (Without Spending a Dime)

Since the 15th century, Valentine's Day has been synonymous with love - a time to let loved ones know in a special way how very important they are to us. Then, somewhere in the middle of the 20th century, Valentine's Day took on a decidedly commercial flavor, with advertisers attempting to convince the lovestruck to shower the objects of their affections with cards, flowers, candy, wine, and jewelry.

But love is a precious gift that can't be measured in dollars or pesos or francs, and the most touching and treasured expressions of love are those that money can't buy. Here are 15 ways to say "I love you" to all of the important people in your life...without spending a dime... Read full article
