Learning About Pelvic Health Conditions

Guest: ETHICON, Inc

Olympic Gold Medalist Bonnie Blair talks openly about a female medical health condition that disrupted her everyday lifestyle. Pelvic health conditions like leaking urine and very heavy menstrual bleeding will affect one-third of all women by age 65, yet embarrassment keeps too many women simply suffering in silence. The truth is that there are exercises, medications and minimally invasive treatments available for most common pelvic health conditions, but women need to demand that their doctors treat the problem. These conditions may be common, but they are not normal and they can be treated.

Painting Trim

Guest: Irwin Industrial Tool Company dba SHUR-LINE

Does Your Trim Have You Feeling Framed?

Regardless Of The Color You Choose For The Walls, Architectural Details Can Make Or Break The Look Of Your Space. Nothing Says Clean And Classic Like Crisp White Trim - But For A More Artful Approach, Try Framing The Room With Bold Black Or Metallic Gold Crown Molding. For A Smoother Look, Paint The Trim With A Satin Or Semigloss Finish In The Same Color As The Walls.

Staying In The Box Never Looked So Good!

Guest: Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC

Did you know that the color of your cookie sheet matters when baking the perfect cookie? The reflective quality of shiny, light-colored cookie sheets insure even baking and browning. Dark-colored ones retain heat and tend to burn the bottoms of cookies. But, dark sheets can be covered with aluminum foil to achieve the even, golden brown effect you want.
