First things first… We really can’t start this discussion without talking about Kim Kardashian’s naked selfie. It caused quite the hubbub. Everyone from Piers Morgan, to P!nk, to Chloe Grace Moretz to Kanye’s ex Amber Rose weighed in on whether Kim K was a slut, a Feminist, or a fame whore. Honestly, I’ve seen less […]

Especially with temperatures fluctuating between the 50s and below zeros. So why not fight it with an easy to find natural remedy called turmeric. Scientifically known […]
Children: The Death of Fine Dining
Clearly, I have temporary amnesia when it comes to taking my kids out to restaurants. It’s sort of the same amnesia that tricked me into going through labor the second time!

DRS Medical Associates
