Sometimes when decorating and freshening up the house we forget the bathroom. It doesn’t cost as much as you might think to have a beautiful bathroom. Add a mirror, paint the ceiling, hang up bedroom curtains in the shower and your bathroom can be glamorous. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Often you can use what you have in the house.

Your Calorie Counter | Healthmad

Your Calorie Counter | Healthmad


When you are counting calories it’s good to have a counter at hand. If you are interested in the number of calories you eat ,you might want to make a couple of copies to have handy when you are food shopping, preparing a meal or when you go out to eat. Sometimes the number of calories in a serving is a total surprise. I didn’t include veggies because they are low in calories unless served in rich sauce, which add on the calories fast. Also if we choose to eat rich desserts we know what we’re getting into. Happy calorie counting to you and yours.

The problem with this theory is that you will never know until you sit down and begin the story. The story will unfold as you write.

Germ Phobia | Healthmad



Germ phobia is out of hand in the U.S.. Almost everyone carries a bottle of antibacterial spray or packages of hand wipes. Public bathrooms have antibacterial soap. Grocery stores have wipes to clean the handle of buggies. It’s as if we are terrified of our own environment. Researchers say this germ phobia will eventually kill us if we don’t back off and let the germs do their job.
