It’s a tough thing to admit sometimes as a guy, but women really are smarter with money sometimes. Warren Buffets of the world, hang with me here and look to your not so rock-star-status successful brethren to see that in most families, the women usually handle the bills and day to day budgets… In the […]

A study by scientists at Patiala University, Punjab State, tracked a group of farmers for several months and discovered their DNA had been altered and made them more susceptible to cancer. After ruling out other lifestyle factors such as age, smoking and drinking, the scientists concluded the culprit was pesticide sprays.

These days I want to do everything I can to ensure that I am being proactive in ‘doing the right thing’ when it comes to the environment. I know we all feel this way on some level but then often find ourselves wiping down the toilet or kitchen counter with some spray that we […]
