Did you know that the average cell phone is 18 times dirtier than a public toilet! Eeew! Now think about how we place these bacteria bombs in our dark and warm pockets where bacteria breeds best. Then, think about how often it touches your face, your hands and directly or indirectly your children and you'll start looking for a way to disinfect right away.

For once, you've got a chance to master the art of gift-giving and nail the origi

Once upon a time (and to this day, in many cultures), brewing tea was a ceremonial experience. There were many rituals involved and time was a secondary factor - if, indeed, time was factored in at all. Then came the sensory experience of sipping on the tasty brew and reveling in all the flavors as they dance across taste bud after taste bud. Today's fast-paced world makes hard to dedicate a chunk of each morning to traditional brewing methods but that doesn't mean flavor has to go out the windo

What's the meaning of life? Some people say it's having children, while others swear that we're put here to help others live their lives to the fullest. All those people are wrong.

Rewriting the Rules of Midlife By Trisha Ashworth, By Amy Nobile There's no handbook to help you get over the hill. No one really warns you what happens when you get older. Sure, you have a few girlfriends who moan about hot flashes and sometimes your mom will let you in on a secret or two, but for the most part, you're left to navigate the mogul-littered terrain that is midlife all on your own.
