Dr. Frank Lipman: Feeling Spent? Ask the Right Questions

Two Questions To Ask That Are More Important Than A Diagnosis… After 30 years of practicing Medicine, I have learned that for any chronic illness or ailment, treating underlying imbalances and dysfunctions is more important than making a diagnosis and naming the disease. Ultimately, asking the right questions is more important than giving a label to a set of observations. This is because most if not all chronic problems, from heart disease to arthritis, migraines to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depression to fatigue, usually have multiple factors that need to be addressed - this is called the total load.

Beauty Book Review: Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray…

A Novel Beauty Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray, a novel beauty book review In a seemingly flawless macrocosm of pretty good reads, Sapien bookcases vertically riddled with cutesy tomes from interns who gab too much or stay-at-homes who discover their latent editrix by a steady diet of watching fashion TV. What's a stylish girl to do when she wants a little chic in her chicklit, some irony, a sporadic giggle, and a really fun romp to read while not-so-patiently waiting for her flight to finally take off? She fills in the blanks... So here we have a novel (Face Value) with a fairy tale premise (how to make a splash in the glamour biz without really having a clue) by

The World According To Warhol…

Andy Warhol's witty, little ditties The World According To Warhol- Andy Warhol's witty little ditties on style. "Looking at store windows is great entertainment because you can see these things and be really glad it's not home filling up your closets and drawers. You never knew in advance if she'd look like a million or like two cents. And the way she'd decide she should look would have nothing to do with where you were going.
