Mathison: You’re never fully dressed without a smile

Mathison: Self-care may be a key part of healthy life
My 4-year-old son Grant loves “reading” the laminated safety card in the airline seat pocket. He will be thrilled when he gets to go to Summer Safety Camp. We all know that we are supposed to put on our own oxygen masks first, but how many of us really do that in our daily lives?

Mathison: Put your best face forward
Have you ever rolled yourself out of bed, wiped the sleep from your eyes, looked in the mirror, and yikes! Your face is puffy and eyelids swollen?

Mathison: Sometimes a person just has to say no
I recently had to say no to an opportunity to lead a community group in its annual fundraiser. It’s a wonderful organization, with great people helping the region in wonderful ways. For those of you who know me, I’m a yes-girl, so this was a difficult decision.

Mathison: Studies put sweeteners in their place
I read Meredith Holt’s article in the Monday SheSays section about artificial sweeteners with great interest. As a recovering Diet Coke addict, I always sensed that I didn’t feel quite right if I drank too much of it. And it certainly didn’t seem to help me lose weight.

Mathison: Natural does not equal organic
Many of us are reading labels and trying to make healthier choices regarding our food and personal products. When trying to make better choices, it’s important to know what labels mean, and what they don’t.

Mathison: Make a sound decision and protect your hearing
Walking through the grocery store the other day, I couldn’t help but hear it. “Boom, boom, pow” – the words of the Black Eyed Peas song were clear enough to sing along. The sounds emanated from a cool looking high-school guy in a black leather jacket.

Mathison: Protecting aging skin
A couple of weeks ago, my 4-year-old son Grant took a close look at his great-aunt Anni, who was kindly babysitting him for the day. “Why do you have those lines on your face, Anni?”
