Tips for touchable, non-toxic hair and skin in winter

Dandruff is extremely common, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying or embarrassing. Some flaking is considered normal, but about half of all people report excessive flaking — and that number increases during winter. I’m one of these winter dandruff sufferers. I live in Alabama, so I can’t even fool anyone into thinking the flakes on my clothes are snow. There’s no cure for dandruff, but there are some…

Is your mind playing tricks on you — or is it something more?

What do Mary Todd Lincoln, Jerry Garcia and I have in common? We’ve all had hallucinations. Lincoln’s were schizophrenia related and landed her in an insane asylum called Bellevue Place. Garcia’s were drug related. In 1989 he told Jeremy Alderson “I always keep some psychedelics around. It’s like a coffee break almost. It’s something that I fear and that I love at the same time. I never take any psychedelic…

Guilt-free TV and binge-watching tips for part-time health nuts

I have a confession. I’m a television addict. And binge-watching is my favorite weekend activity. I don’t even have cable but I still manage to watch too much. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBOGo… I use them all. Leslie Knope and the Parks and Recreation staff welcome me home from work and Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David is the last person I see before I fall asleep. Everyone says this…

In the kitchen with Kelley: Honey-baked brie with walnuts

Before I became a minimalist, I dreaded the Christmas season because it was so much work. All the shopping, wrapping, mailing, decorating, cooking and related activities stressed me out and wore me down. It was during that time that I started a tradition to take two things off my to-do list: decorating the tree and hosting a Christmas party. You see, that’s when I began throwing tree-trimming parties. First, I’d…
