After I read this MindBodyGreen post in early spring, I became a warm (not hot)-water-with-lemon lovin’ lady.  I finish a glass before I take my first sip of coffee. And? I simply feel better. You can find out more about how this easy rise ‘n shine ritual boosts the immune system, aids with digestion, clears skin and so much more here.

I’m more than a little obsessed with Marla Popova’s brainpickings and actually feel a pang when I’m in the middle of something uninterruptible and can’t devour her latest post. Here, Popova corrals a smorgasbord  of insights like this Science of Kissing video  in an effort to answer the question “Why, exactly, do we like kissing so much?”

P.S. Visit  my “kiss me” Pinterest board for more lip-locking moments.

I wrote this post about unplugging last year as Labor Day weekend approached and want to share it again now that there are so many summer moments ahead of us just waiting to be savored. Let’s make this the summer we practice slowing down, unplugging and tuning out to tune in. I’m in. How about you?
