HEALTH CHECKUP
Busy women often forget to take time for themselves, but scheduling regular checkups with your doctors can add years to your life. Get your calendar out and make these appointments today!
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, most people should receive a complete eye exam every two years. People who wear glasses, have diabetes or are over the age of 55 should get checked more frequently.
Vision
Dental
The American Dental Association recommends that adults and children have a dental check up and cleaning every six months. Patients with gum disease should visit the dentist every 3 months.
Hearing
The risk for hearing loss dramatically increases after age 50. If you are worried about your hearing, talk to your doctor or nurse and they can schedule a hearing test.
Cholesterol tests assess the risk for coronary heart and/or artery disease. Women should begin getting a cholesterol check up every 5 years at the age of 45. Women between the ages of 20 and 45 who have other risk factors for heart disease should also get their cholesterol tested. These factors include tobacco use, diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease. To find out what the numbers mean, and learn how to lower them, check out the Cholesterol Center at www.webmd.com.
Heart
Women should perform breast self-exams monthly beginning at age 20. After age 40, women should have mammograms done annually. These exams check for any cancerous lumps. Early detection improves the chances of diagnosing and treating cancer successfully. Women with a family history may need to have exams done at an earlier age and more frequently. For more information on breast cancer and how to perform self-exams, visit www.breastcancer.org.
Breast Exams
Pelvic Exam
Colonoscopy
A pelvic exam includes inspection of the external genitalia for lesions or abnormalities, a pap smear via a speculum exam, a bimanual exam to palpate uterine size as well as ovaries, and often times a rectal exam among other techniques as deemed necessary. Every female with ovaries needs a yearly pelvic exam to evaluate ovaries for cysts and or masses.
This procedure allows the doctor to look inside your large intestine in order to detect any abnormal growths, ulcers or cancers. A colonoscopy should be performed at the age of 50 and should be done every 5 10 years thereafter. According to the Center for Disease Control, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the US, but with regular screening tests, one-third of those deaths could be avoided. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/screenforlife.
Dermatologist
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends annual screenings for skin cancer. Pay attention to any changes in size, shape, color or texture of a mole or sore, you need to visit a dermatologist immediately to have it checked. Cant remember to make a regular appointment? Go to www.aad.org/professionals/SkinCancerScreenings/skincancerreminder.htm and sign up for a free email reminder!

Women in Leadership When examining leadership effectiveness, John Zenger and Joseph Folkmans research shows that womens natural assets make them better equipped for the modern, collaborative model of leadership. And yet, a 2012 Catalyst Census showed that womens representation in Fortune 500 leadership positions has stagnated in recent years. Some explanations offered: Fewer women role models to encourage and facilitate advancement. Women have lower expectations thinking they are under-qualified for positions that an equally-adept male thinks he deserves. Women are not attracted to the culture at the top, thus making the decision to exit the corporate structure to launch successful businesses. Families make the choice for women to take on lessresponsibility at work and more responsibility in the home.

Home Organization
Keeping yourself and your family organized and on task is easier when you create systems that work for you. 1. Create a Command Central in your home where things naturally pile up - most-likely near the front or back door. 2. Assess your needs based on how your family lives. What are you always searching for? Which items get tossed on the counter when you walk in? Once you determine what items and activities need to be addressed, create a storage solution for each one. 3) Some items to consider including are: Bench or Chair Shelving Baskets or Bins Bulletin Board Large Calendar Hanging Hooks

Do: Include your partner in the process. Register for items in a range of prices to give your guests options. Let people know where youve registered by setting up a Web site and telling shower and party hosts. Revisit and update your registry often. Dont: Wait until the last minute; register with time for showers and engagement parties. Select items you will never use. Overlook the details. Read the fine print and know what the stores policies are for shipping, returns and exchanges. Make things hard for your guests by only choosing stores with local-accessibility. Include at least one large chain or store that has online shopping.

Wedding Whys?
Wedding rings are worn on the third finger of the left hand because it was once believed that the vena amori or vein of love ran from the ring finger to the heart. The veil was originally worn by Roman brides to disguise themselves and outwit malevolent spirits. Bridesmaids were used to confuse evil spirits by dressing alike and surrounding the bride. In medieval times, men wore their swords on their right side, thus would keep that side free in case they needed to draw. Therefore, if escorted, the bride walks down on the left and the brides family and guests sit on the left side of the aisle.
