We all want to live happy and healthy lives. Some of us don't always know where to begin. If you ask the right question you may find an answer that will lead you on the right path to a happy, healthy and better life.

What are the habits of happy and healthy people?

Parents around the world spend 10 hours a month on average bathing their children! Bath time is a perfect opportunity to stimulate your child’s senses like touching, smelling, seeing, and hearing. Bath time can also be a great time for bonding with your children and to help stimulate their creativity. The sensory effects of bath time stay with them long after bath time is over. Many parents say that bath time is a special activity they enjoy with their child.

Research shows that infants who experienced routine touch and massage (a big part of the after-bath routine) were 50% more likely to make eye contact and 3 times more likely to have an overall positive expression.

The VTech Safe&Sound Pan & Tilt Full Color Video Baby Monitor allows you to keep up with your little ones with peace of mind. I can easily keep an eye on the kids while I'm at my desk working from another room. I can also settle many "She did it - No. He did it" arguments much easier with this awesome video monitor. The camera pans up to 270 degrees side-to-side and tilts as many as 124 degrees up and down. I can even zoom in up to 2x to get a closer look at what trouble my kids are up to. The monitor also comes equipped with digital transmission. The signal is digitized and encrypted, ensuring video and audio transmission is always private and secure.

We all want healthy skin, right? Especially since it's the one thing we live in everyday for our entire life and we only get one. So keeping it healthy should be a daily priority and it's never too soon or too late to start caring for it.

I moisturize my skin daily, something I've done since I was very young. I have made taking care of skin apart of my daily routine. Along with some of my other favorite items I wear every day like my jewelry, favorite red lipstick, Lubriderm Daily Moisturizer is an important must have for everyday.

I receive many compliments on my skin and people always want to know the "Secret". Honestly, there's no secret weapon, it's all pretty simple. So here are my tips for healthy looking skin.
