Turmeric has been a staple in people’s lives since the beginning of time. For over 4,000 years people have used turmeric for medicinal purposes, and with good reason, and now it's been proven by science. Those that suffer from chronic pain often incorporate turmeric into their diet using it as a seasoning or through supplements, but there’s so much more to this spice than pain relief. It has myriad applications for overall health and beauty, too. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of turmeric!

I am prepping for my New Year's resolutions big time this year. If you've been reading for a while, you'll know that I started a fitness resolution for 2017. What you may not know is that one setback after another made that resolution a total failure. It was a ridiculous year for illnesses and injuries and surgery (I'm okay!), which makes me want to double down this year. Resolve, check. Fitness equipment, check. Taking care of myself and my family from the inside, check. Unbox my iHerb supplement order with me! (Psst, I also have an exclusive discount just for my readers!!!)

We ladies go through a lot. Not only our ridiculous, and sometimes painful, grooming routines, but also a once-a-month visit from "Aunt Flo." Some women have relatively easy menstrual periods and some have it much harder. Everyone's different, but no matter what you deal with every month, I have a great list of my most helpful period essentials that might just help make your 'time of the month' easier, too.

Now that Fall is here, it's time for pumpkins, cider, hayrides...and runny noses for some. Yes, it is one of the dreaded allergy seasons for us here. Funny enough, I never really suffered from seasonal allergies, and neither did my daughter until we moved into a more rural city where we both developed them at around the same time. Running and jumping and playing outside now invariably leads to sneezing and blowing noses inside. The good news is that it can be managed with a little knowledge.

As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. It's a time to increase awareness of the disease, raise funds for research and treatment, and support those whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. The symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness is a simple pink turned ribbon, and it's easy to make them to wear as barrettes, earrings, or headbands for yourself or to give lapel pins to friends, family, and co-workers to help spread the word and show support.

Pre-children, I was super-active. I enjoyed working out, jogging, and doing yoga with my girlfriends. Post-children it was not so pretty.

I remember times when my mom would laugh too hard or sneeze and then run to the bathroom, and I don't know why, but I thought that was something that only older women had to deal with. Nope. After my first child, I started leaking a little if I had a full bladder when I did anything strenuous. The only solution seemed to be wearing pads or having surgery, but not anymore. Poise has developed a bladder support that keeps leaks from even happening!

Do you leak when you laugh, cough, sneeze, dance, or exercise? This is called Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Poise Impressa Bladder Supports are the first FDA-cleared over-the-counter device for temporary management of SUI, and they can help you live the life you want to live again.
