Here, Dr. Stephen Sinatra of the Heart MD Institute talks about “electropollution” and cell phone safety. Watch the video and see how Wi-fi, cellphones and other electronic…

Think twice before you Poo Poo it
PooPoo Paper? Yes indeed! It is made from elephant dung, as well as cow poo, horse poo and of course, panda poo. (Sorry I was carried away. How many chances do we get to say poo several times?) Don’t worry: the paper products are odorless, and a portion of the proceeds from the sales are…

Bass had a fantastic sale going on (70 % off most items; buy one pair of sandals, get 2 free; buy 1 luggage, get 2 free) so my co-worker/friend Paige and I decided to check it out. I not only got some new footwear, but found out that their plastic bags has an “EPI” additive…

Cleanse craze
In case you haven’t heard, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are doing the Master Cleanse. Instead of a detox, I heard that this is mostly just fasting and an easy way to lose weight.
