It’s easier for most of us to mind our manners when among friends, family, and co-workers, but what about when we’re out in public, surrounded by strangers? The fact that you will never again encounter most of the people you pass is no excuse to be rude, or even cold and indifferent—plus, you never know…

Know the Difference Between Hemorrhoids and Colorectal Cancer and When to Seek Help, Doctor Explains
Colorectal cancer, when detected early, can be treated effectively with a higher chance of recovery. However, its early symptoms can be easily mistaken for other conditions such as hemorrhoids and indigestion. So, how can you differentiate between bleeding caused by hemorrhoids and that caused by cancer? Have you been experiencing symptoms like bloating, stomach rumbling,…
Relax and Indulge: How to Make Your Home More Spa-Like
Think about what makes going to a resort so pleasant: lush landscaping; the sound of murmuring waterfalls; delicate aromas to soothe the soul; amenities such as huge, walk-in showers; relaxing seating areas throughout the property; and soft music playing unobtrusively in the background—all working together to create a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. Most homes don’t quite…
Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe
Around here, we’re really into fresh berries all summer long. Straight from the farmer’s market or in the form of pie, you just can’t go wrong. We’re all about the buttery flaky crust (no shortening here,) which hugs all the very best pies. From the Best Fall Apple Pie to this luscious Summer Blueberry Pie… it’s gotta have…
Breakthrough Study May Reveal the Root Cause of Gray Hair
A new animal study suggests that certain stem cells have the unique ability to move between the growth zones of hair follicles. However, as we age, these stem cells become stuck and lose their ability to mature and maintain hair color. This discovery potentially opens up new opportunities for scientists to explore natural approaches to delaying…
Anatomy of a Classic Cocktail: The Margarita
I remember my first margarita outside the United States: Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in 1993 while awaiting a ferry to Cozumel. It was a two-for-one deal, so I ordered two—one for me and one for my travel buddy, Dave. And, probably predictably, we ended up with four drinks. Small drinks, I thought, chilled but with…
Retractable Leashes Risky for Dogs and People
Q: I usually walk my golden retriever, Jake, on a retractable leash, which we both love. Our local park requires dogs to be on leashes no longer than 6 feet and bans the use of retractable leashes. Would you give me some ammunition so I can convince them to change their policy? A: Sorry, I…
Meal Prepping for Success
Graduating from the Institute of Culinary Education and working in kitchens from California to New York City couldn’t prepare Catherine McCord for her toughest palate yet: her first child’s. The founder of Weelicious, a food blog full of easy, family-friendly recipes, was just as clueless as most parents when it came to figuring out what…
Taking the Kids: To Alaska Without the Crowds
The bear was too busy snacking on salmon to notice us. We were kayaking—a safe distance away. What an experience! Our small UnCruise ship, known for Alaska wilderness experiences, enabled us to kayak and hike away from the crowds. Another day, another trip, we were privileged to visit orphan bear cubs and injured bald eagles in Sitka at the Fortress…
Celebrate the Unofficial Start of Summer With Salmon Burgers
With Memorial Day coming up, I often like to entertain and have an outdoor barbecue to officially welcome the summer season. This year, I want to serve Mexican-style barbecued salmon burgers—always a crowd-pleaser. I noticed a version of these on Dara Michalski’s blog. My salmon burgers with a guacamole sauce version use less ingredients, but I imagine they…
