FYI
It's a new year! Are you contemplating starting over in a new place? Find out the best and worst states for women to live. Did you make yet another resolution to exercise more? In this month's websiting, learn about an online personal trainer that might actually help you succeed in meeting your goal.
Books
The year on the calendar may change, but the question remains the same. Can women have it all? Elyce Neuhauser looks to some new, smart and witty novels for some answers. The female characters in The Sex Life of My Aunt and I Don't Know How She Does It may not have gotten it quite right yet, but reading The Female Power Within might help you find your own solution.
Health
January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, and Michelle Levine tells you what you need to know about the "sneak thief of sight." This eye disease has no early warning signs or symptoms, so you may have glaucoma without knowing it. Find out what places you at risk, how you can prevent blindness and what exciting new developments have occurred in testing for and treating the disease.
Style
It may be a brand new year, but your clothes should be old. That's right - fashionable Long Island women are shopping vintage to add individuality to their wardrobes. Elyce Neuhauser consulted the experts and provides you with tips for shopping, wearing and caring for vintage clothing.
Beauty
It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time when spas were primarily located in Europe and inaccessible to all but the wealthiest people. Elyce Neuhauser traces the evolution of the spa from those days to now, when the hottest treatments and the most advanced therapies are all available locally. Learn about all of the options available to you (it's not just about pampering anymore!) and how to find the right kind of spa to suit your needs.
