Crowdsourcing: Should I Dye My Hair? Maybe? Or No, Probably?
We just got an e-mail from The Patrick Melville Salon offering us a free cut and color. Look. If I were to have a life motto, it would probably be “sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.” If I were to have a life motto that was in English and not pretend Latin it would probably be “take all the free stuff you are offered.” More »

Weight Watchers’ Weigh-Ins Need To Stop
I recently attended a local Weight Watchers meeting to speak about an upcoming charity walk/bike ride. Much to my surprise, when I walked in, the receptionist at the front table asked if I “needed to be weighed.” No, I don’t “need” to be weighed, I told her. No one “needs” to be weighed. To me, weighing people in public is just offensive and humiliating. And it goes against everything I believe in about how to get people healthy.
I get that Weight Watchers is all about helping people lose weight. Really, I do. But I don’t believe in scales. As a matter of fact, when I used to be a personal trainer (who worked with a lot of women trying to lose weight), I always advised them not to weigh themselves.

Are We Supposed To Be Shocked That Women Look In The Mirror 8 Times A Day?
Women check their appearance in the mirror an average of eight times a day, according to a new survey that is apparently meant to be shocking. And it’s not just traditional mirrors: We use other people’s glasses, shop windows, the side mirrors on cars, and smart-phone screens to get the job done. Our confidence varies by mirror, too: 5% of women said they look their worst in the bathroom at work. Is all this mirror-glancing a sign of runaway vanity, or just confirmation that appearance matters, especially during the workday? More »
