Did you notice all the women in the office looking a little droopy on Wednesday at 3:30pm?  That's precisely when women look their oldest, according to a new survey.  Every Wednesday afternoon, apparently the stress catches up with us gals and we look disheveled.  Oh, and Friday is the happiest day of the week.  It takes research to discover these things!

Yesterday in a blog I mentioned women may be showing less skin at work because guys just can't handle the distraction caused when there is a lot of chest or leg showing. Here's why the reverse may happen. We've just learned that hot pants can burn calories! Those skin-tight pants that vary in length from about calf-length on the south side, to covering "just enough" up north, can actuall

If I could drink coffee while pregnant,

As I sit here at work snacking on chex mix, I present this question to ponder: What are the jobs most at risk for weight gain?

We grew up having our summers free, out of school. Why can't that yearly sabbatical continue into adulthood? Could you imagine having the summers off? We'd be at Lake Sam Rayburn every day sunning ourselves, not thinking about conference calls and work meetings and deadlines. We could go the the movies whenever we wanted, and go out to lunch and down a margarita with the quesadillas if we wante

It's hard to argue with the claim that military soldiers have the most stressful jobs in the world. Thanks guys and gals for all the work you do! If you're looking for a low-key job with the least amount of stress, look no further than a position as a hairstylist. Really? Trying to make grouchy customers happy all day is not stressful? See what other jobs made the most-stressful, and least-str
