A commonly prescribed antidepressant is being used – in conjunction with gait training – to help train people with paralysis to walk again. Who knew Lexapro was this magical? Read about this surprising use of Lexapro here. – Tiff  

Well it looks like the quads of the world are now in the running to get cured first (jokey joke, well maybe), according to the latest embryonic stem cell research data released by Geron Corp last week.  Tumors in the thorasic region, but not the cervical region? How curious. This study better end up curing someone. I hate long movies with shitty endings. – Tiff

The Erektor is the latest device, targeted for men who don’t respond to sildenafils like Viagra or Cialis, to hit the market. But is it worth the $349 price tag? Read my blog here – Tiff

JFK’s younger sister and co-founder of the Special Olympics, the amazing Eunice Kennedy Shriver, has passed. Was she the best champion of the intellectually disabled to-date? I think so. Read my open thoughts on this kick-ass Kennedy female – Tiff

After years of being a pussy and avoiding this surgery like the plauge, I finally broke down in 2005 and got it done. Whaa? What am I talking about you say? All will be revealed here! – Tiff

When it comes to mascara, it’s all about the wand/brush, not the actual makeup.  So be sure to note the wand before purchasing. This is why I love Maybelline Great Lash. It’s cheap as hell, the makeup is nothing spectacular, BUT THE WAND, oh, the magical wand…it does amazing things to my lashes. Look for wands with very defined brushes (these ones will separate your lashes more, which in the process will make them appear longer). – Tiff

I’m constantly getting bored with my makeup routine. The latest makeup product I’ve decided to mix it up with is lipstick.

They’re good for your lips, they give you the perfect tint of color, and the best part, they make your lips look kissable. Here are some of my favorite tinted lip balms on the market. – Pixi Rose Lip Treat. $12. Available at Target. Contains Vitamin E, rose extract, and comes in rose or fawn. – Burt’s Bee…

If you think putting on makeup without being able to move your fingers is hard, you’d be right :p But I’ve perfected it. Watch and be amazed!

While watching CNN this past weekend, I was inundated with a wacky commercial for EZ-Combs, the latest hair accessory to be peddled on TV infomercials. At first glace I wanted to vomit. It looks pretty fugly. Am I right or am I right? But then they started to demonstrate how you use it, and then I realized me – a woman without any finger control – might be able to use it on my own. It looks simple enough: Insert one side, stretch it and pull it to the other side of your head, then insert the other comb. Sure, it may look ugly, but being able to put my hair up on my own…
