I remember when I was a little girl, my grandmother used to crush my medicine pills because I was so afraid of swallowing them whole. Even now sometimes, I find myself having to concentrate on swallowing my huge multi-vitamin down. Well concentrate no more because I want to get the Automatic Pill Grinder. It will grind two pills at a time with the help of three AAA batteries. The grinder will turn those pesky pills into powder so you can comfortably swallow them, with a glass of orange juice of course.

I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of the gym. There's never enough equipment and if you arrive after 5pm, when most people get off work it's almost impossible to even work out; which is why I bring you the Decathlon punching bag from Domyos. This is a cool hi-tech product that allows you to get an amazing workout in the comfort of your own home. Although there are 10 multiple settings and training programs for you to choose from, what makes this gadget extremely cool is that it has LED lights that illuminate off your wall to inform you of where to punch; and it can keep a tally of ... Read More >>>

Part Two of the unusual and unconventional ways we can all pitch in!

#4 Homemade goodness. Make some of your favorite products at home, using ingredients you already have, or ones that are double in purpose. Cutting back on commercial products will help you save on the cost of lots of packaged foods you didn’t know you could easily whip up yourself. Plus, by using fresh ingredients, you’re also cutting back on the preservatives you find in many packaged foods. (Psst… This also means you do your part to cut back on the costs of ... Read More >>>

We all wish we were a little better at recycling, but I bet you didn’t know there are more than a few non-traditional ways to support a healthier planet. So don’t forget about the three R’s, but I invite you to think outside the box when it comes to conservation.

#1. Let’s slow things down a little. The Slow Food movement was originally created by an Italian to protest the growing popularity of fast food. But since then it’s become a whole lot more. The organizations more than 100,000 members strive to appreciate the cultural value of food by educating others about the wasteful and risky be... Read More >>>

Some people swear by their daily vitamin combinations while others write off their effects as placebo. Vitamins, often labeled “dietary supplements” because of legal issues, don’t have to be approved by the FDA. This leaves a few people wondering about the real benefits vitamins can provide.

If you’re feeling skeptical, there is something you should know about the laws that are in place for these products. Before 1994, vitamins and supplements were subject to the same FDA regulations as all other foods we eat. But the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) put r... Read More >>>

Myth: Being Too Clean is Okay

False! Did you know that having overly ambitious cleaning habits can actually be worse for your body? Sure, it’s great to keep yourself squeaky clean, but if you’re one of those people that needs a good scrub down at least twice a day, consider this:

If you woke up to find that your face had broken out, you’d probably like nothing better than to scrub your face raw and wash those irritating blemishes away. Unfortunately, those who believe that washing your face can rid you of acne have been ... Read More >>>

Nearly everyone nowadays is addicted to gourmet coffee drinks and those other fancy, blended creations sold everywhere from fast food restaurants to corner cafes. But next time, instead of shelling out five bucks for small frappe latte, consider trying the homemade version—just as sweet and flavorful as you like it.

For a cheaper way to enjoy iced coffee, brew a pot of your favorite roast, whether it’s a regular black brew, a chocolate flavor, or anything else you have at home. You may want to cool the coffee in the fridge before prep... Read More >>>

#6 Keep only healthy, individually-portioned snack items around. You’ve already skipped the donuts at the grocery store, right? So to satisfy those in-between meal cravings, buy healthy snacks that come in pre-set portions to prevent over-eating. Fruits are a great, natural alternative to sweet desserts. But if you really have a sweet tooth, try some of the low-fat frozen desserts you can find at grocery stores.

#7 Use interactive technology. Computers can be excellent resources while dieting. Use your television to watch exercise DV... Read More >>>
