I’ve found a useful health resource which I would like to share with all of you. This website is called Heart Library and provides detailed information the most important organ in our body, which is of course the heart.

Whether you are searching for information on Enlarged Heart, Heart Attack, Heart Block, Sudden Cardiac Arrest or anything related to the heart, all you need to do is browse through the interactive heart video library. If you have friends or family members who might benefit from this information,  do feel free to forward this site to them.

What comes to your mind when you hear the words Mamma Mia? Yes, ABBA of course! The timeless lyrics of this iconic super group has been brought to movie audience through the movie titled none other than, Mamma Mia. Led by Meryl Streep and an all star studded cast, it is an absolute must watch movie for all women.  

For those who have watched this movie and can relate well with it, you might like to check out Pond’s Search For The Dynamo Contest.

Ponds is calling all women 40+ and fabulous to share their Dynamo on broadway. You and your two girl friends may just be the trio of women who best embody the sassiness, sexiness and confidence of Donna & the Dynamos, from the movie Mamma Mia. Interested? For more details, check out the contest page.

One of the perks of blogging is being able to write about the things I enjoy and issues that I feel strongly about. Thus today, I would like to share with all the women and moms out there regarding a topic which we consider taboo in society - Heavy Periods.

Let’s see how many of you say YES to the following:

• Your periods disrupt your family and social life, regular activities, and moods. 
• Your periods negatively affect your sexual relationships.
• You dread leaving the house on the worst days of your heavy period.

If you feel that the above points sound familiar, you are not alone. For years, I have been suffering from heavy bleeding and mood swings which makes it uncomfortable enough for me when working. And according to the National Women’s Health Resource Center, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 3 Baby Boomers experience heavy periods-that’s about 10 million women in the U.S. alone!

The sad fact is many women, including myself, are not aware that there is a solution to this misery. It has nothing to do with hormones or hysterectomy. For women with heavy periods who have completed childbearing,  there is a non-hormonal, one-time minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than five minutes to complete and can eliminate heavy periods - the NovaSure® Endometrial Ablation System. Though this is a safe, simple, and effective solution for heavy bleeding, only 14% of women know about this treatment option.

Hence, Novasure has launched the Dare To Wear White website to create awareness of the fact that there are many women out there who are having period to the extent that it is  interfering with the quality of their lives. This is a site for women of all ages to share experiences and feelings about this very private subject and learn more about treatment options so they can actively seek help. If you are one of those women who are struggling with heavy bleeding, I encourage you to take a look at  the site, ask questions, share stories or even request a brochure on the site.

In conjunction with this Dare To Wear White Campaign, Mom Central is also running a survey and for the first 250 eligible women (those who have heavy periods AND are finished having children) who complete it will receive a $10 Amazon gift certificate as a thank you for your participation.

CHER RETURNS !!  Oh, how I heart this pop diva. A chart topping singer, television star, Academy award winner, a disco diva, rock’n'roller and a fashion icon, Cher had an amazing career which spanned over 4 decades. During my younger days, Cher had rocked my world with her amazing songs “If I Could Turn Back Time“, ”Just Like Jesse James” and  ”The Shoop Shoop Song“.  Heck, I even bought her album ”Living Proof” back in Year 2002 when she announced that she was stepping down from the live circuit. 

I may not be her Number One fan but it would certainly be awesome to see her perform Live. Now, die hard fans of Cher will be able to catch her return to the stage at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Her brand new show will debut on May 6th and feature 18 dancers and aerialists, fabulous new Bob Mackie costumes, dazzling video and special effects.   The comeback will see the 61 year old veteran pop star perform at the glitzy venue four times a week at 7.30pm.

Hurry, get your Cher Tickets at Caesars Palace and catch the extravaganza before the tickets run out! Now, Cher will give you a reason to believe you can turn back time.
