Drink 1/2 your weight in ounces per day of healthy water just to replace what is lost through breathing, sweating and digestion.
Few Drops Media - Website Tips
Web content should be creative to draw in clients. Web pages should contain keywords that identify the website for search engines. Sentences should be short and to-the-point.
Norwex - Chemical Free Tips
Looking for a Non-Chemical option for deodorant? Here's a great recipe: Combine 1 TBS cornstarch with 1 TBS baking soda and 1.5 TBS coconut oil. Add 1 drop essential oil.
Essential oils have been around for ages, used by the Egyptians, Greeks and in Chinese medicine for health, beauty and religious practices. The Bible also has many passages containing essential oils.
Our best tips for a cool workplace. Take action now to maximize comfort and savings this summer. Learn more at PortlandGeneral.com/Consult.
First Tooth = First Visit to Dentist: When your baby starts teething, it's time to schedule that first trip to the dentist. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all kids see a dentist when their first tooth comes in, or no later than age 1, whichever is first. Healthy baby teeth are important for good nutrition, speech development, and strong permanent teeth later on.
