You might as well stick with your morning cup of joe. A study done at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky found that in spite of the highly touted special blend of ingredients in energy drinks, the pricey beverages are no better than caffeine when it comes to helping us stay alert and pay attention
We've learned that working out with a partner can make a sweat sesh fly by, but who says our workout buddy has to have opposable thumbs? Take fitness outside with Fido, and turn exercise into play. We've rounded up some fun (and fit) activities for when you and your pooch are totally bored of afte

There are many ways to have a healthy lifestyle that don’t take a lot of time and effort. As a busy mom, the extra hours in my day are limited. I’d love to go for a long run every morning or stop by the gym every day after work for a few hours on the elliptical machine. Unfortunately, even i
We’re all working towards better health in our own way, whether we’re at the gym trying not to sneeze so you won’t fall off of the treadmill (like last time), or making our own laundry soap from natural ingredients (mine smells like lavender). We’re walking more, connecting more, camping

Last week we celebrated National Vitamin Day and discussed a few ways to stay healthy (including exercising with us at Girlnetic events)! I know some people would rather celebrate a holiday that includes eating a delicious turkey or getting a big box of chocolates, but we should be celebrating ou
Back in January, as a Nature Made ambassador, I made it a goal to 1) visit the doctor and 2) protect my skin by wearing sunscreen. Well, to be honest, I haven’t done either! Busted. I am waiting until I run out of my prescription before I go for a check up. I’m almost out, so I can’t put it of
Over the past couple of months I had the pleasure of working with a brand I have always trusted and used – Nature Made. That direct relationship comes to a close soon, but I will forever be a lover of Nature Made products. In honor of this experience (and the finished videos!!!), I wanted to do a
