MATTRESS HACK! This is a great idea:

Having a war with your mattress? Recently I heard about, (and tried) this great new idea.

It's true that flipping your mattress is like a breath of fresh air for your back.

You get rid of body impressions and it feels brand new.

If you haven't yet tried this, it's a great solution to uncomplicated morning back aches.

But sometimes you have a mattress that you can't flip!

It was built to be one sided.

What the heck.

They say you can spin it 180 degrees, that's a good idea, but you may have already done that and like me both sides have body impressions

Time for a new mattress?

FIRST try this:

If you have an king size mattress, you can spin it 90 degrees. So basically turn it sideways..It works! I tried it. I feel like I just saved $1000,

it's like a brand new mattress all over again.

Lemme know how it goes.

I don't know about you, but I'm always thinking I should drink more water.

But how much is the right amount?

And how can I remember to drink it?

Here's a little weight based formula for you to figure out how much you need:

Take your current weight and divide by two. That number is the minimum number of ounces of water you should drink per day.

So if you weight 150, you should drink 75 ounces of water a day.

Now-- how can you remember to drink water all day when you can hardly remember what time to pick up the kids?

Here's a cool smart phone app to help you:

And finally, why are you drinking more water again?

Here are your top 5 reasons:

Helps digestion, and cures constipation. That's a good thing.
Is that hunger? No wait, I'm just thirsty! Save calories, lose weight!
Gee your skin looks fabulous, did you have Botox? No, I'm just drinking more water! Save money!
Detox. The best way to eliminate waste is to urinate (the kidneys filter it). More pee = live longer.
Reduce chronic pain. Dehydration hurts, water tastes good.

In your best health, always-
