How to get Motivated
The drive behind all human behavior. Seems a little presumptuous to assume all humans can be lumped into a box with this one, but once broken down you’ll see how it all can be linked back to just two major forces.

Is Multitasking Harming You?
Multitasking. Ah, how I used to brag about my ability to do so. In my mind, it was a “mom thing” or, at the very least, a “woman thing”.

What is Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)?

It was mostly during my couponing days, when I’d spend hours (or days) prior scouring the web for deals, mapping out my plan of attack, clipping and meticulously organizing coupons…
