What You May Not Know About Vision Health
Published on Sunday, April 22, 2012 by caryn When it comes to health and wellness, I know that regular screenings and check-ups are important. In addition to our yearly physicals and bi-annual visits to the dentist, we also strive to get yearly eye exams. From speaking to friends and family members, I've heard that unless glasses or contact lenses are required, eye health doesn't necessarily take priority. ... Read More » -

Slimming Down and Getting My Svelte Back! *Gi...
Published on Friday, August 12, 2011 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats Ericka! I'm less than ten pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight (as in before my 4 year old son was born) and while I'm so proud to have gotten this far, I've definitely hit a plateau. And, of course, my body does not resemble it's former 20-something self. I'm not always as consistent with my workout schedule and while I wor... Read More » -

Stater Bros. Personalized Vitamin Recommendat...
Published on Sunday, April 3, 2011 by caryn I don't think I know a single person who isn't overwhelmed by the sheer number of vitamins, minerals, and supplements on the market. Because I'm nursing my daughter, I continue to take prenatal vitamins. But as I begin to wean her, my needs will change and I'll likely switch over to a multi-vitamin formulated for women. The questions start to arise. Which mult... Read More » -

You Say Po-tay-to, I Say Po-tah-to…
Published on Monday, March 28, 2011 by caryn Our diet, overall, is really quite simple. On any given day, we as a family consume chicken breast, fish, whole grains, fruit, and veggies. While it sounds simple and perhaps boring, we prepare these foods in a variety of ways so that our children are exposed to diverse, ethnic cuisines. We avoid trans fats, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, and ingredien... Read More » -

Fitness Tips From a Celebrity Trainer
Published on Friday, February 4, 2011 by caryn Last week I woke up very early...on a Saturday morning...to work out...{insert long pause}. Interestingly enough, it was exhilarating to work out as intensely as I did with fitness trainer Kathy Kaehler. I realized that while dancing on the Wii is fun and gets my heart pumping, I'm still nowhere near where I need to be. And the one thing I learned is that I can ... Read More » -

Tips For Staying Healthy During Cold & F...
Published on Wednesday, February 2, 2011 by caryn Despite the fact that Southern California has been experiencing a rather mild winter, illness is still rampant. One of the things I don't like about winter is the prevalence of viruses and bacteria that cause everything from the common cold and flu to ear infections and strep throat. So how do we stay well during this time? Here are some of my best tips: 1... Read More » -

Fit and Healthy Kids
Published on Monday, January 3, 2011 by caryn My 3 1/2 year old son knows more about computers, video games, and electronics than I did as a teenager. Today's children are growing up in a technology-driven era, and as a parent, it's a challenge to achieve the appropriate balance between education, play, and technology. With childhood obesity and chronic illness rates soaring, I'm mindful of the importance of ... Read More » -

Total Body Wellness With Murad
Published on Friday, October 8, 2010 by caryn As a mom, I often neglect to take care of myself like I did when I was young and single. Most days I fail to get 8 hours of sleep and I'm lucky if I get in a shower before noon. Prior to this weekend, I hadn't received a manicure or pedicure since I was pregnant with my daughter. I've had the occasional facial and massage, but nothing consistent. I have heard... Read More » -

What Not To Eat
Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by caryn I wish there was a product...some device that would tell me what I should and shouldn't eat. It would take into account my dietary intolerances, my food preferences and my lifestyle. I could access it while on the go at fast food restaurants and the grocery store. Maybe it would even have the ability to compare prices and provide nutritional information... I re... Read More » -

Published on Friday, May 8, 2009 by caryn When I was pregnant with my son, I had a little "heart to heart" with my family. I knew that there was going to be a time where I'd have to leave my son with one or all of them. I'm an RN so I don't worry about how I would react if a friend or a neighbor needed CPR or assistance because he/she was choking. I also don't worry about my ability to deal with a simil...

Review: Slendertone EnerVive
Published on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 by caryn You wouldn't know it by looking at me, but I used to love running and was in pretty decent shape before I got pregnant with my son thanks to 8 months abroad. Whether it's intentional or not, backpacking trims and slims like no other workout! I don't often blog about fitness because I feel like I should set an example if I'm going to pretend to be an expert impart... Read More »
