Time Out
As a working mom, some days I think there just isn’t enough time to get
everything done. It’s so easy to lose sight of the importance of taking
care of yourself and your relationships. So what can you do to manage
stress and relax, even for just a little bit, every day? Try these ideas
and give yourself a time out today—from special moments alone, to time
with your family or friends, and even developing your faith—you deserve
it!
Organic 101
Take a stroll through your grocery store’s produce section and you will
probably see the word “organic” prominently displayed on signs and
labels. If you’re like me, you know that organic food is supposedly
better for you and for the environment, but you might not know why. You
also might wonder what the different uses of the word “organic” on food
labels mean and whether these terms are simply ploys to seduce you into
paying higher prices for essentially equivalent products. If this is
you, you might benefit from a crash course in organic food.
Exercise at Home
Exercise at Home
Being healthy depends a lot on exercise. If you’re not being physically active, you’re not burning many calories. Maybe you haven’t worked out in a while, or maybe you don’t have the time or money to join and go to a gym. Well, don’t worry. Here are some exercises you can do at home without any special equipment. These exercises were given to us by two local trainers: Jill Guerber, a personal trainer at Main Street Gym in Midlothian and Daniel Ortiz, an elite personal fitness professional based out of Waxahachie. After doing these exercises for two weeks, try bumping it up a bit by doing two sets of each move. Increase your set number after two more weeks. Please consult your doctor before starting any new fitness routines.

Cut Stress Out
When was the last time you read a magazine article that gave you tips on
how to de-stress and relax? And when was the last time you actually had
time to use those tips? Everyone knows that to manage stress and
maintain a healthy lifestyle, you should set aside time to unwind, eat
nutritious meals, exercise regularly, sleep eight hours per night, spend
time with friends, and balance work, community, and family activities.
Seeing Red
While there are still a few cool days left before the sweltering heat of
the Texas summer sets in, choose something rich to drink to keep you
warm. Red wine pairs well with heavier, flavorful foods, comes in a
variety of types and, as an added bonus, is good for your health. There
are many different kinds of red wine, but here are the nine types that
are the most common.
