Just because many of us prefer showering over bathing doesn’t mean we can’t make the experience satisfying and sensual, not to mention rejuvenating and soothing for our skin. These products will help you do just that!
The unavoidable cold season is here! To stay prepared, we’ve joined the #StayHealthyWithCVS campaign, sponsored by CVS, which is giving away a winter wellness set to one lucky winner.
If you’re in warm weather this winter, lucky for you! But for many of us, we’ve entered the brrr season.
We’re more prone to colds in the winter because the cold virus (rhinovirus) replicates faster in colder weather, according to numerous studies. We also spend more time indoors and are in closer contact with others, and their germs. Disruptive symptoms (which can seem to go on forever) include “runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, mild-to-moderate fever, a cough, headache or body aches, and some mild tiredness,” says Papatya Tankut, registered pharmacist and vice president of pharmacy affairs at CVS Health.
Sabina Fasano knows all about disruptive perimenopausal symptoms from personal experience.
After meeting with an herbalist, who helped end her struggle with perimenopause and fluctuating hormones, her interest turned to women’s hormonal wellness through herbal medicine. Sabina’s research led her to develop a natural supplement, containing a combination of herbs, that specifically addresses the physical and emotional problems associated with the hormonal fluctuations and imbalance during menopause and perimenopause.

You pop into the shower to begin your morning (or evening) beauty routine.
You grab your body wash or bar of soap, and maybe a loofah or body sponge, and get to work on your arms, legs, back, butt, torso, and vagina! STOP RIGHT THERE. Using body wash or soap on your vagina is definitely a no-no, but it’s never too late to start giving this precious body part the tender loving care it deserves.
The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s flu season! To stay in tip-top shape throughout the winter, we joined the #StayHealthyWithCVS campaign, sponsored by CVS. These tips and tricks for fighting the flu are nothing to sneeze at!
It may be time for you to start exercising down there. Join FabOverFifty in the #Kegelface campaign, sponsored by PeriCoach, so we can all work together to strengthen super important muscles that many of us ignore.
We want to do everything we can to feel and look our best, yet many of us aren’t paying attention to one crucial component to good health, and we aren’t even aware what it is!
Life events, including childbirth and menopause, can thin vaginal tissue and cause our pelvic floor muscles to weaken. This can result in bladder leakage during routine activities like exercise, or even just laughing.
Chances are, you’ve heard of Kegel exercises, which involve clenching and releasing movements of the pelvic floor muscles and tissues, to strengthen them and guard against bladder leaks. If you’ve tried these exercises, however, you may have given up because you weren’t sure if you were doing them properly or having a hard time sticking to an exercise schedule. (more…)
Whether we experience occasional hot flashes or suffer from consistent night sweats, most of us will try anything to seek relief.
When we hear the word “menopause,” we usually think of night sweats, mood swings, and hot flushes, but a common health condition often goes ignored or improperly treated.
Sixty-two percent of menopausal and perimenopausal women suffer from dry eye, according to a survey conducted by the Society for Women’s Health Research.

You’ve probably heard the term ‘superfoods,’ but do you know how they can really help you?
Superfoods are greens and fruits packed with vital minerals to help detoxify your body, reduce your risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol, and much more. Think tomatoes, blueberries, broccoli, kale, pomegranate, and pineapple.
