I love the sun. Don't we all? Unfortunately, the love is entirely one-sided. My fair-skinned bod skips right past a sun-kissed tawny glow and goes straight to lobster red. If you're a sun worshipper like myself, you surely sympathize.

Let's stop learning our lesson the hard way and get straight to our summer sun guide (i.e. avoiding painful and aging burns): 

Sunscreens

Whenever the seasons change, I get hit with a massive bout of flu/cough/cold/generallyfeelingicky. It's not a pretty sight. As the weather is slowly but surely changing, I am certain to get hit by a nasty bug again. So, to get prepared for the inevitable, I thought the Review of the Week category should be Remedies! 

By that I mean: pain relievers, cold and even allergy meds. To get a...

Here at ChickAdvisor, there's very little we won't talk about. I like to think that we've gotten to the comfortable, 'old shoe' phase in the relationship (where we just slide right in and get cozy with each other). I wouldn't even be grossed out if you farted in front of me.

Dear New Moms,

don't kill the messenger. Also, you're welcome (keep reading to see why).

Sincerely, Claire


A new study from the University of Toronto's School of Nursing has found that common sleeping tips and tricks do not have a measurable increase in the number of sleep hours a new mom and her baby will get during the first 12 weeks after birth. The same study also found that these...

Recently we told you about a fundraiser for an important cause, specifically the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancers. This 2-day walk through scenic Toronto in September directly benefits women's cancer research and patient care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

The SickKids Foundation raises funds on behalf of The Hospital for Sick Children, a pediatric health science centre for patient care...
