We don’t know how you feel, but summer needs to slow the F down. We’re like halfway through and we can barely remember what we did the first half (don’t mix alcohol and sun, kids). Thank goodness for these monthly round ups. We’d be so out of the loop if it …

  Josie Martin is the queen of balance. We’re not sure about her tightrope-walking abilities, but we do know she has got health and wellness down pat (unlike some of us, who consider an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s a light snack). She’s the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for PhRMA, …

I recently heard this story about these three little pigs that built homes made out of straw, sticks and bricks, respectively. A big bad wolf came along and blew all their houses down, with the exception of the one made of brick. I thought to myself, “Wow, those dumb pigs should’ve called Eric …

It’s a long standing tradition and has been one of our constitutional rights for decades. Or at least, should’ve been.

In case we haven’t shouted it from the rooftops enough, it’s National Candy Month. The National Confectioners Association has made summer even sweeter by dubbing June “National Candy Month“. It’s not that we needed an excuse to celebrate our beloved snacks, but it’s nice to be informed about the finer things …
