Tips to stay healthy during air travel

For the most part, planes are a great way to go, experts say. But commercial air travel does come with some health baggage.

How reading can help prevent the summer slide

Here are a few ways you can encourage kids to read this summer while keeping the focus on fun and discovery.

THE LATEST
Out With The Old, In With The New

You’ve waited all year for this night. The one day of the year you can smooch a stranger and not make excuses for it. The reason push-up bras exist. It’s New Year’s Eve and you’ve had your go-get-’em-girl outfit ready for weeks. Hey, someone has to give 2010 a warm welcome.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

For the most part, 2009’s trends didn’t shake out too poorly. We’ve definitely seen far worse years. For instance, the year entire families decided to rock Crocs together on vacations. Or, the year skunk stripe highlights stunk up the beauty industry. That’s not to say the past year didn’t see some horrifying looks. Sure, we had some bad ones, but the list of good trends far outweighs it.

Rules for the roost

When you were younger and first learning how to dress yourself, your mom undoubtedly helped you figure out how to button a button or tie a shoe along with providing fashion advice such as to avoid mixing stripes and polka dots, how certain colors go together or that you should only wear white between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Snowball of change can lead to green avalanche

The Copenhagen climate talks are behind us and the results were, shall we say, suboptimal. Despite dire warnings from the world’s brightest scientists, along with more than ample physical evidence of the need for immediate action, the world’s leaders have again, well, failed to lead. Spectacularly I might add. Copenhagen yielded no new treaty or binding agreement to address the issue of climate change. Some said it was doomed to fail, that it had a snowball’s chance in hell to create meaningful change. With leadership like that, who needs enemies?

Now ideal time to create plan for outdoor living

Yes, it’s true, Christmas bells are still ringing in our ears and the surrounding mountaintops still have traces of snow, but what better time to get ahead of the curve and start thinking about outdoor furniture than now? Ring in the new year and start laying plans for the outdoor life that we enjoy so much of the time here in Las Vegas.
