Advice from the Underbelly | April 30, 2010

By Jennifer Wider, MD,
Author of The New Mom’s Survival Guide: How to Reclaim Your body, Your Health, Your Sanity, and Sex Life After Having a Baby

When I was pregnant with my first child, I had no absolutely no idea what to expect. I went about my business as if nothing was different. At work I’d occasionally glance down at my growing belly as thoughts of chubby, quiet, smiling babies dressed in all-white filled my mind. I had convinced myself that my life wouldn’t really change.

Let out your Inner Minx! | April 30, 2010

Since I have been working in New York City, I am starting to notice different trends that I wouldn’t normally see working in the suburbs.

Growing Too “Fonda” Plastic Surgery: Refreshing Without Regretting
By Vivian Diller Ph.D., Author of Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change

Jane Fonda, stunning at 72, recently confessed to another round of plastic surgery. With mixed emotions, she said, “I got tired of not looking like how I feel.” On her blog she went on to admit, “I wish I’d been brave enough not to do anything.” Just a couple of years ago, Fonda had sworn off more such alterations. But clearly her resolve wore down as she exclaimed “Jowels Away!”

Far from feeling victorious, however, Fonda’s … Read More »

Moroccan Chicken with Rice | April 29, 2010

In another stop in the savory lane, I decided to make Moroccan Chicken with Rice for dinner. I am not going to lie, I was intrigued by the absolute giant number of different spices and ingredients. I wondered how it would all taste when put together because it seemed like it could be weird at the very least. I mean, really, Italian bread crumbs and turmeric?

If you don’t like recipes with a lot of ingredients, I encourage you to give this one a go just for the sheer difference of it and how amazing it ends up tasting. While there … Read More »
