We all need a little TLC from-time-to-time and H&B is the place to get it!

H&B gives endless "TLC" to all Members who visit frequently, who participate in forum discussions, who create "high membership" groups or who write informative or entertaining blogs.  We depend on Members to contribute to the Network by sharing their health & beauty news, views, tips, secrets, knowledge, expertise or personal experiences.  In fact, we encourage Members to share absolutely any health or beauty-related information that could benefit, encourage, educate or inspire others.  And remember, the information you share can simply be in the form of a good web-link, a synopsis of a good article you recently read, feedback on products you are using or have used...  Bottom line, you do not have to be a professional writer to contribute to the Network, just a good messenger.  If you have a web cam please also take advantage of our video chat room and share information through the cameras (or just use it to video chat with your friends).

By supporting the Network, the Network will support you, your business, your charity or your school.  We will do it by taking the time to Talk, Listen & Connect with each and everyone of you as well as give you recognition through our Rewards Program.

The success of this Network is in your hands!

We are all creatures of habit

unwind & relax with H&B and make us your daily or weekly habit

(be an active participant or frequent visitor and earn "reward points")

Squeezing us into your busy schedule isn't as hard as you think...

Start by setting aside a little personal time to unwind & relax at the end of each day.  If you just can't seem to find the time to relax and focus on yourself, try converting a little of that "family WE time" into a little "all about ME time." And while the focus is on you, use a few minutes of that "ME" time to visit H&B for your daily or weekly dose of information, beautification, inspiration & motivation while striving to become "The Best You."

Men, the above message applies to you also!

Lastly, I know we are all here for our own personal reasons - it may be to learn, to share, to promote, to network, to inspire, to be inspired or simply to browse! Whatever your reason, I welcome each and everyone of you. My only request is that you follow the H&B Terms & Conditions of Membership, you periodically check the H&B Business Directory with a view to supporting local businesses and above all, you support your "H&B Friends" whenever possible. Please also feel free to invite family, friends, co-workers, customers, clients and business associates to join our growing network of local and global friends.

Membership is totally FREE and is open to people from all countries, all walks of life.

To your good health, long life & ageless beauty

"Wow, I didn't know that... Thanks H&B"

Did you know.... that applying lotion to your body while it is still slightly wet locks in the moisture, providing more intense hydration. This is especially important if you suffer from dry skin.

Did you know... that the average American gains 9 lbs during the months of November and December.

Did you know... that every night you sleep with your makeup on you age 7 days.

Did you know... that everything applied to your skin is absorbed directly into your blood stream in a very short amount of time (often within seconds). Yes, that's why birth control patches, nicotine patches, pain relief patches and many other types of patches are widely used today.  This topical method of application by-passes the body's filtering system (liver & kidneys) so you have to make sure you know what you are slathering on your skin!

Did you know... that mineral oil is a derivative of petroleum/crude oil and is the second leading cause of premature aging (wrinkles). Excessive sun exposure is number one.

Did you know... that hormone imbalance can significantly reduce the libido (sex drive) in both men and women. Don't delay, have your doctor check your hormone levels if you are concerned about an unexplained drop in your libido.

Did you know... by depriving yourself of breakfast in the morning you are setting yourself up for weight gain (or slower weight loss if you are trying to lose weight). Our body is deprived of food while we sleep throughout the night and by depriving it again in the morning puts your body into 'preservation mode.' Your metabolism starts slowing down in preparation of a food storage and begins the process of storing body fat for future use. So eat something nutritious every morning to kick-start your metabolism and break that nightly fast!

Did you know... you should always choose butter over margarine. Why? Because margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic. Baffled? Read the blog entitled "PASS THE BUTTER PLEASE" dated August 11th 2009 for more information.

Research shows that eating 3 healthy meals and several small snacks throughout the day as well as regular exercise are no longer enough to achieve optimal health & youthful beauty. Why?  Because many of the foods we eat today contain only a fraction of the nutrients they contained a few decades ago. Is taking OTC (synthetic) vitamins the answer?  A recent study suggests that "it may be not be the answer."

ERGONOMIC TIPS to avoid wrist, neck, back and shoulder discomfort, pain or injury

Millions of people are now working and/or socializing from their computers. With the increasing numbers of social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Bebo, YouTube, Tagged, H&B "The Best You" not to mention the rise in internet marketing, the time we spend on the computer is skyrocketing. And to make matters worse, this is often in addition to the 7 hrs we spend chained to our computers in our 9 to 5 job!

Here are some ergonomic tips to help you avoid those aches and pains associated with working longs hours at your computer:

1. Top of monitor should be at or just below eye level (about 18' to 24' away from you)
2. Head and neck balanced and in-line with torso
3. Shoulders relaxed
4. Elbows close to body and supported
5. Lower back supported
6. Writsts and hands in-line with forearms
7. Adequate room for keyboard and mouse
8. Feet flat on the floor

IMPORTANT: If your day is spent working from your laptop while stretched out on your bed, curled up on your sofa or laying next to your glistening pool then give yourself a pat on the back, you've made to a life of freedom - freedom from the chains & shackles that keep so many of us tied to our monotonous 9 to 5 job. However, if you want to avoid wrist, neck or back problems (now or later) you will need to either limit the time you spend in those ergonomically compromising positions or to take regular breaks to stretch your limbs and rotate your neck & wrists.

The above checklist was obtained from: http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/

Let's face it, we ALL need this after a long hard day!

No exceptions!

Hope your visit to H&B left you feeling empowered, informed, inspired, entertained and, above all, wanting to come back for more!
