(www.livelywomen.com) — I was intrigued by the claims of all-natural CherryPharm juice, so I sat down with the founder John Davey over e-mail to learn more about his product and his company. Kristen, LivelyWomen.com: What exactly does CherryPharm do? John Davey, CherryPharm, Inc.: CherryPharm is based on the natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties found in tart cherries.

(www.livelywomen.com) — I’m going to deviate from my standard review format for this one, because the Wii Fit is a product unlike any I have reviewed before. First of all, my pets loved it: I believe Isabel was working on one of the yoga activities. Either that, or she didn’t want me to send it back after my review period ended. One can never know the mind of a cat. Secondly, and there will be no photos of this, I got so hot so fast playing it that all but the first 5 minutes were me in a ratty college tee shirt and my underwear in the living room with my dogs, who were obsessed with the Wii Fit balance board, and my husband, who made fun of me basically nonstop for my lack of balance and coordination — until he tried... [Read more]
