UNITED STATES—I need a digital detox, I feel like I need it now more than ever. Every single time I think I have a moment to myself something comes up. The iPad is ringing, the cell phone is buzzing, the telephone is ringing, somebody somewhere needs something and it frustrates me to the core. Gosh, I wish I could...

BEVERLY HILLS—I am one of the many millennials that refer to organic, holistic and more natural approaches to health care. However, there are times when you need real old fashioned medical help. Receiving health care isn't a problem for most because we have laws in place to protect patients from discrimination and being denied health care regardless of your...

I have struggled with this issue greatly since high school, but I have gotten much better. Why? I realize when you procrastinate it only creates stress. Stress is not good people. It...

UNITED STATES—I made a pact with myself last week that I was going to head to the grocery store and cook dinner EVERY single day for the next week. Yes, I know this is something many Americans do on a constant basis, but for many of us it is extremely hard to commit to. You always have that day...

UNITED STATES—Can you believe it we are less than a week away from spring officially arriving?
