Yet another tragedy has occurred. It has not been long since Haiti was hit by a strong quake, and now, another has hit Chile. The 8.8 tremor hit the middle part of the country early this morning, shaking the affected areas to the core. While initial reports do not exhibit damages as extensive as what Haiti has experienced, the strength of the quake has the potential to incur just as much.
So far, six people have been reported dead, although the numbers are expected to ...

Posted by Sally as Family Features, Family Life
We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics going on, though, it might be a great time to show your kids just how fun actually playing sports is!
How do you do this? Simple: tune in to the broadcasts of the ...

Posted by Sally as Health Features
A lot of young people do not worry about experiencing heart problems especially when they’re in their 20s. At this age, people normally just think about having fun. After all, heart disease is an old person’s problem, right?
While that may be true in general, the fact is that it is never too early to take care of your heart. Heart problems may come out later in life but more often than not, they result from the effects of years of habits. ...

Don’t you ever wonder about those women on TV and in the movies who wake up looking absolutely gorgeous? I am sure they do NOT look like that in real life! Still, there are things that we women can do to make sure that we look pretty good the moment we get out of bed.
First, make sure you wash your face at night. Not only that, try using a deep cleansing yet gentle product a few hours before you go to ...
I do not have OCD but sometimes I think that I just might have a tendency for it. I have to wash my hands every so often – I just don’t like the idea that I have germ-laden hands because I pressed a button on the elevator or touched a door knob. Anyway, I do have fixed ideas about which things/places are full of germs. You probably think the same way. But you might be surprised to find out about certain things at home ...
I have always believed that getting bullied is NOT the fault of the child who is on the receiving end of the aggressive behavior. It is the same reasoning behind believing that there is no excuse for men raping or beating women.
According to a recent study, however, there are certain factors that contribute to a child being prone to being bullied by his peers. The study was led by Clark McKown from the Rush Neurobehavioral Center in Chicago. His team identified at least three problem ...

The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.
On December 10, 2009, Michelle gave birth to Josie Brooklyn. She was born prematurely, at only 25 weeks’ gestation. The much awaited birth of the Duggars’ 19th child was a mixture of ...
Last year, the popularity of social networks reached astonishing heights. All over the world, it seemed that everyone suddenly decided to join one social network or another.

Your chances of landing a job may be affected. In a bad way, is what I mean. I am sure you have heard of people ...
Did you know that sales figures show (consistently) that during a bad economic period, more cosmetic products are sold than usual? These figures also show that after a tragedy occurs in an area, sales also increase.
What can we gather from this information? Just as Leonard Lauder said, tough times equate to a higher demand for beauty products. If that name sounds familiar, it is because the guy is the chairman of Estee Lauder, perhaps one of the most known brands in the beauty industry.
While ...
I have been craving salty food all week. This is nothing new – every time my period is due to arrive, I find myself yearning for all sorts of salt-laden food. For the most part, though, I am quite conscious of ingesting too much sodium so I know I am okay in this respect. But am I, really?
According to experts, there are some food items that are packed with sodium and many people are not aware of that. Here’s an example: canned soup, canned ...
