Calories in ground turkey may lurkey
Those store-made turkey meatballs may be just as high in calories and fat as the beef ones if they’re not labeled “extra lean.â€Â  It’s great to substitute ground turkey in tacos, chili, and meat sauce, but be sure to check for the lean label.

It’s not just a “senior momentâ€
The average person reaches for the right word two to four times a day (Can you hand me the…thing?) and trips over their own tongue 7 to 22 times (If it’s not one thing, it’s my mother.) Talking with your hands makes for smoother speech.

More than a number
The high number in your sunscreen’s SPF is not the be-all & end-all of sun protection. That $30 Anthelios SX sunscreen at your checkout is only SPF 15, yet it contains mexoryl SX, a newly approved ingredient which screens you from a wider spectrum of UVA rays. On a recent rafting trip, I was the only one who didn’t get sunburned because I was the only one wearing Anthelios SX.

Nose job without the knife
Want to get rid of that bump on your nose or the droop at the tip? No need to go under the knife if you’re working with a doctor who knows how to use Radiesse, a cosmetic filler that can smooth out, perk up, and otherwise hide small nose problems.
