But with more charities springing up every day representing a diverse number of causes, how can you get your fundraising event noticed by fundraisers and the media?

I could not help but notice recently how many companies have jumped on the "more is better," band wagon by offering sun blocks and sunscreens with SPF's as high as 100. Do these higher SPF's really give us better protection, or are they just a marketing ploy to get us to buy more products? Brands such as Neutrogena and Coppertone are now offering SPF's in the range of 50-100 in addition to the standard offerings such as an SPF 15-30. The question is, "Are super high SPF's actually giving us more protection, or are they just a marketing ploy?" First, I would like to briefly discuss what the...

moved to Colorado from the Northeast several years back, I noticed a disturbing thing starting to happen - brown sun spots appearing on my hands and arms. I had always worn a hat to protect my face, but tended to neglect my hands and arms. Then I noticed in particular that the sun spots were appearing a lot more on my left arm than my right. I didn't know what to make of it until, one day when I was driving, it all became clear. The sun beating down on my hand and arm through the driver's side window was the culprit. I spent several hours a week driving and never even considered the implications of having my left hand at the mercy of the sun while holding the steering wheel. I have heard (but not...

If you are teaching Yoga sessions on a regular basis, or plan to, social skills are an absolute must. Running a Yoga studio, and teaching classes, has much in common with being a coordinator of social gatherings or an activities director. Recently, this was the topic of discussion between a colleague and I, who said she was too busy to be a "social butterfly." She felt that teaching Yoga lessons is enough and her students should be grateful for the experience. While I can appreciate her honest opinion, and I know she is a competent Yoga teacher, there is a void, within her studio, of a social atmosphere.

In my younger (much younger) days, I dabbled in the world of beauty pageants. I did not, however, (much to the chagrin of my husband) win the coveted "Miss Queen of Clean" title. I have two small children, run my own business from home, and do my best to regularly attend the shoe sales at the mall. Keeping a tidy house is just not a huge priority right now. I do however keep a hygienic house. (Well, I wouldn't advise eating off my kitchen floor - but it's not unsanitary.) When I was pregnant with my second baby, my Doctor advised me not to clean house using common household cleaners, as inhalation of the cleaning products could harm my unborn baby. Needless to say, I took his advice extremely...

Ever since the children were very small, we have religiously applied sunscreen whenever out in the wonderful sun. This has now become almost a daily task alongside brushing ones teeth.

However, now the question seems to be whether or not the sunscreens out there are actually more harmful...
