WHY IT’S A HEALTHIER CHOICE IN 2016: When you’re feeling ready for midday snack, what do you instinctively reach for? The chips? The cookies? Did it ever occur to you to reach for some seaweed? I’m going to go with a “No” here. That’s cool, let me explain and introduce you to the fab Annie Chun’s. Annie and her team are the leading producer of gourmet Pan Asian foods dedicated to providing us with simple, affordable (love this) and convenient meal solutions to help take the mystery out of Asian cooking.

3. “BLOW” STRESS AWAY
BRAND: Pocket
PRICE: $2.99 For a pack of 6
SHOP: www.pockette.com or head to your local Albertsons & Safeway stores where it’s just launched.
WHY IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER: If you’re burning the candle at both ends and wind up sick or stressed out OR a combo of both… these will quickly become your new best friend. Pockette European Luxury Travel Tissues are scented in either lavender or mint. Inhaling either aroma calms frayed nerves while the 4-ply material guarantees they won’t fall apart. The secret’s all in the design… the micro-embossed edges hold the layers together. So whether you blow, sneeze, laugh, cry, beautify, blot, touch-up, wipe up, dry, sniff, soothe, calm, clean up or pick up… these tissues are the answer for life’s little emergencies. They come in unscented too, should fragrance not be your thing and who would ever guess the masterminds behind OPI Nail Polish are the guys who innovated what’s my latest obsession.

4. “WAIST” AWAY?
BRAND: Zone Training Waist Slimmer
PRICE: $8
SHOP: www.lifestyle-prod.com
WHAT’S THE SKINNY?
Seeing all the pictures on social media of the Kardashian sisters wearing waist cinches made me curious about IF it really works AND how you adapt it to a non celeb lifestyle? Long term, corsets can have their downfalls and compromise your ability to move and breathe. It can displace the lungs, liver and intestines I’ve come to learn upon researching this. BUT in moderation they can stabilize your core and encourage reduced consumption of food. To this end, what I’ve been doing is wearing it in intervals, not all day long. I recommend trying it when you take a walk or hike or are cooking a meal. Wear it for 30 minutes at a time every other day. No I’m not going to achieve a 26 inch waist this way, but a little more definition and curve to my bod is all I’m looking for personally or suggesting to ladies watching to experiment with.
