Does your voice get slightly deeper and more husky as you discuss the pleasure of biting into a medium-rare steak? Do you proudly declare that you could never be a vegetarian because you "just like meat too much"? Enjoy being at the top of the food chain?
Well, you may talk the talk, but when it really comes to carnivorous cravings, let's see if you can walk the walk.

In high school, I watched a friend drop over $100 on a trip to her favorite salon. I'd always known that her hair looked better than mine, but I couldn't believe that it was simply a matter of money. I didn't want it to be, either. Even in high school, I had other financial priorities than my do. There are frugal options for taking care of your locks, though. It's taken me a while to find them, but I use these tricks regularly.

Healthcare will most likely be my family's largest expense in a couple of years, when we've finished paying our home mortgage. We're not heavy users of the healthcare system, so what have we done to incur such high costs? We're Americans who want to protect our family from a medically-induced financial disaster. Fortunately, I just read a book ("Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely" by Davis Liu, M.D.) that gave me a better understanding of the healthcare system and how I can get the most value for my dollar. Here are 50-plus ways plus to save money without compromising your well-being.

Recently our own Xin Lu wrote a post on a motivating way to lose weight (a very interesting piece.) Imagine my surprise when a commenter spoke my mind by sharing the ultimate in “green” workouts! Not only does this daily routine give me tone and energy, but I’ll be enjoying the “fruits” of my labor in just a few short weeks!

Water is a necessity. Soft water may not be. Depending on where you live and how you use water, the cost of processing your water may not be worth it.

I’ll be honest, I’m not a fitness nut. I don’t like exercising, it always seems like a chore. But what if it wasn’t? What if it were, dare I say it, almost a game? That’s what Wii Fit promises…but will it pass the test?

A special thanks to Tim Smith over at Smile-Therapy.Com for turning me on to this one. For a limited time, E.L.F. brand makeup has a coupon code that will let you get their normally one dollar products for half off. That’s right, half. Fifty cents a piece. Read on to get the full details.

Recently I wrote about the incentive my husband gave me to lose some weight . Basically he is willing to forgo half of his entertainment budget if I lose the fat I gained post college. A commenter pointed me at a website called stickK.com which lets you put money on your goals, and I thought it was a pretty interesting concept.

A recruiter friend once told me that a good manager is one who gets things done and honors appointments or at least calls and reschedules, but a true executive makes time for priorities even in the midst of crisis. At the time, we were trying to figure out how to accommodate a mutual client, who was dealing with too many urgent items. I hadn’t thought much about my friend’s observation until I reflected on the advice in "Executive Stamina" by executive coach Marty Seldman, Ph.D. and endurance athlete/fitness coach Joshua Seldman. I’ll share ideas that can help you become calm, focused, energetic, and successful.
