Browser & Search Privacy

If you're using the internet, you're already aware of "cookies", "tracking" and "privacy" concerns that come with browsing & searching. Especially in today's world where Google has self-proclaimed itself dictator of all online searches, and with Facebook & Twitter censoring individuals, websites and hashtags that they deem "too conservative", you'll be relieved to know you don't have to use their products anymore! As Zuckerberg, Dorsey, and Sundar Pichai are currently brought in front of a senate committee to explain their policies and reasons for controlling the flow of information, censoring conservative news and blocking content and users who have a different political view, we are also learning that these giant publishers inform each other and compile lists of who & what to squash... This means that there's absolutely no privacy, no security and you're most likely on a "blacklist" if you'...

My Fitness Pal

While I’ve tried many diets over the years, the single most important thing I was missing was the ability to correctly calculate calories and keep my fats, sugars & sodium under control. Fortunately, the internet has a solution for every conceivable problem and when I discovered My Fitness Pal I was really excited! And the best part, they provide a free app for your smart phone so you can take your healthy eating on the go! One of the features I appreciate the most is the ability to photograph the barcode on a package and instantly get the nutritional value of that snack!

It’s an opportunity to express love & affection to those who mean the most to you but it’s also the ideal time to show some much-needed love to your Self! Other than the traditional gifts of chocolate and flowers, think of something important that you can give yourself as an Act of Love… Each person needs to give themselves something they really deserve; something that due to circumstances couldn’t be rewarded until now. Last year on February 14th I decided to give me self a very big gift… It wasn’t jewelry, it wasn’t new clothes and it wasn’t perfume ---it was Quitting Smoking! That’s right! If you’ve neglected your health, your dreams or any part of your physical or emotional well-being this is the day to (re)commit to loving yourself! So feel the Love and always remember to be g...
