If you weren’t watching Germany beat Algeria, pint in hand, there’s a chance you might have tuned in to Channel 4’s latest Dispatches, which found supermarkets have slashed the price of beer so much ahead of the World Cup, it’s now even cheaper than bottled water.

According to Monday’s programme, The Cost of Cheap Alcohol, some shops’ own-label cider is now so cheap that a man can drink more than his daily recommended alcohol allowance for a quid, while a woman can get me

Getting in shape may be all in your head—literally. Negative self-talk makes it difficult to follow through any exercise plan. Try these tips to turn a Debbie Downer mindset upside down.

Instead of: “A few extra pounds aren't a big deal.”

Think: “I should probably get rid of this weight before it gets out of hand.”

Most people don’t see a little tightening of the jeans as a really big deal. However, additional pounds can start adding up quickly and then affect your health

Like a champion, last weekend I stepped up to a birthday weekend that was quite the eating and drinking celebra ... er, challenge.

Between a beer to kick off proceedings and a jug of sangria to end them, there was six courses of incredible Italian food, a shared bottle of Prosecco, a few wines, and some unknown Italian liqueur. I stepped up to that challenge, but come Monday morning I was still feeling exactly that - challenged.

We all deserve a birthday blowout, but

Lifestyle Tips for a Fit Summer

Hydrate.

Adequately hydrating is key. Of course, water is important for the internal organs, but it’s also important to combat issues like cellulite.

Tip: Keeping up with the eight glasses a day minimum also leaves the stomach feeling full throughout the day – a simple way to cut down on snacks.

Caution with the alcohol.  

The creeping calories that are in alcohol and other sugary drinks can add up quickly and unsuspectingly. Oftentimes, people are not aware of how much caloric damage the drinks cau

Plain and simple..fashion sends a message. I believe in creating a message through my personal resources. The ExPosure Show allows professionals to engage, entertain and network through the means of art that is created through the fashion lense. However, more importantly, the fashion sends a message about health personal values, and identity. This show, is something that every organism in the fashion industry should witness and be a part of.8842915081?profile=originalThe palet meets the fabric

While I still have a passion for fashion, one other thing that I find important in my life was a "disease" that my family and I have dealt with and fought for sooo long. Finally, something has been introduced to alleviate our symptoms, and I feel that there is no harm in spreading the word for others who suffer as well...just thought I would share my story, but also can't

My Computer is Killing Me!

It is a sly little devil, that laptop of mine. The damn thing has already cost me one angioplasty (heart surgery) because of it and I'm pretty sure I will need weight loss surgery of some kind soon too. Maybe I could sue Microsoft or Dell and charge that they are in a conspiracy with the health care industry. Maybe Google too. That damn thing keeps me glued to my chair, reading, blogging, but mostly getting fat and out of shape. I should be working out instead sitting here being assaulted by thi
