Buyer Beware | October 5, 2011

The truth is that two people with the same diagnosis don’t necessarily warrant the same treatment, and it’s the job of your mental health professional(s) to keep abreast of, and understand, the treatment options available and to work with you to find your ‘secret formula’ for optimal health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

OK, “So where do I get one of these brilliant doctors?” you might ask. An excellent question, and the honest answer is ‘caveat emptor’, let the buyer beware. You have to do your homework on who is available in your area. However, I can tell you what kinds … Read More »

Whadda Stud! | August 15, 2011

Move aside Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey and the Old Spice guy…there’s a new stud in town. He’s slick, shiny and hard – colorful, too – and maybe a little naughty. He’s…AN EARRING?? Haha, betcha didn’t see that coming. Or maybe, knowing me, you did.

A stud earring is very similar to a studly guy: handsome, versatile and easy to wear…um, you know what I mean! Before I get myself in hot water, here’s are some of my picks for Sexiest Stud Alive.

Boy do I heart Vivienne Westwood, and her silver studs are no exception. These little gems sport Westwood’s … Read More »

It’s Better in Leather | August 11, 2011

When I was 18, I put a bumpersticker on my car from a leather boy shop in Boston. Sporting discreet little handcuffs, it read: “It’s Better in Leather.” This really spiffed up my uber-dorky VW Dasher! My feeling of cool was cut short when, unsurprisingly, my parents removed it. I was hugely annoyed at their bourgeois mentality but soon realized that suburban New England was not ready for me…or my pretentious leather.

My love affair with leather began long before my bumper sticker and continues long after. Gone is the 1980s, and 1990s, and 2000s and with the decades, … Read More »

Gems for Good: Interview with Jeweler and Healer Andrea Rosenfeld | July 12, 2011

Who doesn’t love a pretty, sparkly gemstone? I sure do! But what if a gem can be so much more than a beautiful bauble? According to Andrea Rosenfeld, a New Jersey-based jewelry designer, Reiki practitioner and all-around cool multi-media artist, gemstones can do more than just dress up an outfit: they can heal.

Now, I’m as hippie-dippie lovey-dovey as I can be in our cynical postmodern age, but this one was new to me. So I had to talk personally with Andrea and find out how gemstones do double-duty as nurturing objects…and see some of them in action in … Read More »

by Annette Sym

As we start a New Year, many have set new goals for self improvement.

I hope that I can be that person for anyone who is overweight and feeling like it is just too hard to make the changes needed to achieve their goals. I know from my own personal experience how it feels, and that’s why it is so important to me to … Read More »

The Anti-Breast Cancer Diet: Best Foods to Save Your Health! | February 3, 2011

My aunt recently went through breast cancer. Her mother died from it. My mother’s mother had it, and both of her sisters. From the naked eye, they appeared to be healthy; they were relatively active and thin. But, upon closer inspection, they had one thing in common that could use improvement: their diets. Sodas, cakes, processed foods, southern cooking… it got me thinking about how diet and disease are truly correlated, and how sugar can often be a breeding ground for disease.

According to 74 years of research (as noted in The China Study), poor diet and cancer are related. The … Read More »
