A Real Brainiac
The brain is the crux of human existence. Descartes explained it simply as "I think, therefore I am". We get together collective brain trusts to invent and discover new things, rack our brains to find solutions to troubling problems, we even have bird-brains to give us the occasional comedic interlude. Without the brain we are all reduced to the level of dumb beasts. So why then do so many of us neglect our brains?

Hitting Pay Dirt
What is it about mud that makes it so valuable? Mud baths and facials can cost an arm and a leg at some of the swankier day spas when we could just go out and mix one part dirt and one part water and take a mud bath on our own. Instead we pay tons of money to bathe in sloppy goop, our own fountain of youth, in hopes that we can procure everlasting adolescent skin. Mud has been a beauty secret virtually since the first time water and dirt came together in a glorious dance of molecules to have you looking hotter than Brangelina!

Nekter of the Gods
Juice Bars are not a new fad in the Health industry. Health gurus have been praising the nurturing qualities of nature's bounty almost since Adam and Eve took a bite of that shiny red forbidden fruit. However, in a sea of faux wheat germ concoctions and �healthy and delicious� juice drinks it's tough to pick out which establishments offer quality and not just quantity. That is, until now.

New Year's Resolutions
We all have something we would like to improve in ourselves. Eating healthier and being more fit are aspirations that are common. When the New Year rolls around, we reflect on the past year (dang, 2011 went by fast!) and think of ways to better ourselves and the lives of the ones we cherish. Staying fit and energized takes deliberate scheduling, especially if we are busy people juggling family, work or school and recreation. But taking the time to care for your body’s needs does not have to be a challenge, or an extraneous frivolity to dismiss. It can be the rewarding weekly (or monthly, daily, etc.) lift that brings you mindfulness, self-confidence and play-time.
