Depending on which variant of a certain gene a woman has, a coffee consumption rate of at least two-three cups a day can either reduce the total risk of developing breast cancer or delay the onset of cancer, according to new research.
2-3 cups a day … yeah, that’s about what I […]
Today I found the Thermos 6 Can Cooler on the shelves at my local Stop & Shop! Just in time for summer! Waaaa hooooo!
Here’s the scoop on this lunchbox for grownups. It’s insulated for ’superior cold retention’; the lining is heat-sealed and leak-proof; it has a handle for easy carrying. It holds a six-pack plus […]
The next time you go to “google” something, head over to Pink Ribbon Search.com and you’ll fund free mammograms.
