MEN... TODAY is Valentine's Day

MEN... TODAY is Valentine's Day - you do NOT need to spend hundreds of dollars on us! That is a waste of hard-earned money, trust me... just use your imagination... let me tell you how cool a HOMEMADE card is along with a homemade dinner or dessert... VERY! You know why? You had to put your feelings into it. Yes, we like chocolate, we like flowers, but most of all, we like YOU as a person, otherwise we wouldn't be with you. Do not waste a load of money on something that lasts one day.

Cause and location of singer's death unclear
The Associated Press Posted: Feb 11, 2012 8:09 PM ET

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, has died. She was 48. Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unclear. At her peak in the 1980s and `90s, Houston the golden girl of the music industry and one of the world's best-selling artists. Among her hits were How Will I Know, Saving All My Love for You and I Will Always Love You. She won multiple Grammys including album and record of the year. Her success carried her beyond music to movies like The Bodyguard. But by the end of her career, drug use took its toll as her record sales plummeted and her voice became raspy and hoarse.

For the gals (who are still dealing with cramps...)

Menstrual Cramp Tea

Make this when you are feeling crampy, it will magically make you feel better. Daikon helps to relax the liver, and in Chinese medicine, the liver is the organ that governs female reproduction. So when the liver relaxes, our female discomforts, quiet down. This drink will also help reduce swelling of the ankles.

Serves 1

½ cup Daikon (grated into a pulp) (Oriental/Japanese Radish)

½ c Spring Water

1-2 drops Shoyu (a Soy Sauce)

Combine the ingredients in a glass, mix well, and drink.

It is important to eat lighter, fresher dishes right before your period. Skip bread and go easy on the salt. Eat more veggies, especially lightly cooked green ones. It is not unusual to crave sugar or chocolate before menstruating, so let yourself have some good quality sweets. You might even want an organic beer or sake to help you relax. If you don’t drink alcohol, try a glass of warm apple juice or even warm carrot juice. Sounds weird but tastes great. ~ Alicia Silverstone. The Kind Diet/The Kind Life
