If you are watching what you eat, on a diet or striving to live a healthier lifestyle you are probably very familiar with the term "portion control." It isn't the most feel-good phrase, is it?ha!

Girl in Translation {Book Review}
"Ah-Kim lives a life that most of us cannot even begin to comprehend in the book, Girl in Translation, by Jean Kwok . As I read the story of a young girl and her mother that immigrate to the United States, my eyes were opened to the horror of their lives in our country.

Made to Crave

When I first saw this book come out and begin to make its way around the web, I didn't want to read it. I didn't want a book that told me to stop eating sweets and start eating vegetables.
