Shaping up for a Sizzling Season

Summer. It’s the time to retreat from a long nine-or-so months of working or studying, whether at a desert resort, tropical bungalow, or historic metropolitan hotel. The season characterized by patio dinners, aloe-treated sunburns, and undulating heat waves. And as the weather transitions into higher first digit, you might start to notice—and purchase—an influx of tank tops, denim shorts, high-hemmed summer dresses, and, perhaps the most iconic (and microscopic) of all summer apparel: bikinis. Given their revealing nature, the garments of the season often demand a bit of a bodily tune-up: toned arms and taut abs. If your summer goals revolve around a firmer form, you’ll know that starting a physique-improving routine is frequently a challenge, but once you’ve begun, there’s no

Define—or Defy—Your ‘Do with Vogue Wigs

When you experience the urge to update your look, you might opt for such small-scale alterations as painting your nails, spraying on some self-tanner, or experimenting with a touch more eyeliner. While these changes are minimal, they’re transient, short-term investments; they last essentially as long as you’d like them to, allowing you to return to your original look almost instantly and without consequence. I know that I hesitate to succumb to an impulse for a drastic change—a desire to chop off seven inches of my hair, for example—because I worry I won’t have the patience to wait to regain what I might have lost on a whim. Here and there, you might be overcome with the will to make a considerable change, but you restrain yourself, knowing you’ll have to sacrifice something for

Make Your Money Matter With Boscov’s

Personally, I get overwhelmed when I’m presented with too many choices. Buffets freak me out and I can easily get lost in a crowd. Nowadays, with so many choices of stores to shop, it’s hard to decide where to invest your money. Do you go for the familiar? The closest? The most popular? Or simply the best deal?

If Spiderman taught us anything, it’s that “with great power comes great responsibility.” And that’s exactly what we as consumers have: power. We get to decide where to spend our money, but most of us—myself included—don’t take full advantage of this gift. So, we can either shrug it up to convenience and continue spilling our hard-earned cash into stores that don’t stand for anything, or we can stop and take just a second to choose wisely.

Boscov’s is one

All-Natural is the New Way of Life

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about natural remedies. It all began a few months ago when I was hanging out with someone who had just received her pharmaceutical degree. At the time, she had a headache, so I offered her an Advil.

“No, thank you,” she said, with conviction. “I know what goes in pills now so I make it a point not to take any.”

I was too shocked at the time to follow up with questions to get any further explanations out of her. But it definitely got me thinking, and her statement has stuck with me for months now. Then, recently, I watched an episode of Iconoclasts featuring Dave Chappelle and Maya Angelou (if you haven’t seen the series, it’s definitely worth checking out). Dr. Angelou was talking about modern medicine and how almost every
