Savionaires love Facebook. You use it more than any other social networking site. As with any site, privacy is always an issue. Facebook used to be known for protecting a user’s privacy to a high degree. Unfortunately, Facebook made some changes in December that made it easier for them to publicize your private information, unless you made some changes to your personalized settings. Considering the on-the-go lifestyle of savionaires, most of you did not change your settings to help protect your privacy. Don’t worry! It should only take you a few minutes to make three changes to get your account in order.

Chills. Fever. Body aches and muscle pains. Sore throat. Headache. Fatigue. Nobody enjoys being infected with the flu. However, there is a way to treat the flu before it takes a complete hold of you. Oscillococcinum, a natural flu medicine, helps reduce the severity and shorten the duration of flu symptoms. Unlike other flu medicines, Oscillococcinum does not cause side effects and has no known drug interactions.
To use, anyone 2 years and over should dissolve one tube in the mouth every 6 hours at the onset of symptoms. Along with taking Oscillococcinum, you may want to drink a lot of warm fluids to prevent dehydration caused by fever, loosen mucus, and keep your throat moist. Oscillococcinum can be purchased at pharmacies and natural food stores, and, of course, online.
Thema’s Tip: Don’t forget to take your vitamins.
Savionaires don’t use plastic water bottles or containers. They know that plastic is out and stainless steel is in. The latter is healthier than plastic and better for the environment. Savionaires also know that it is hard to get healthy fast food for lunch. Therefore, they make their own. Instead of “brown bagging it,” they now “stainless steel it.”
LunchBots Eco is the perfect stainless steel lunch container. Both the container and the lid are made from the highest quality, 18/8 stainless steel. The durable, lead-free container easily holds larger portions such as a Cobb salad, a turkey sandwich, Chinese take out, and last night’s leftovers.
Thema’s Tip: Pack these health snacks with your lunch.
Water is the true source of life. Pure water…that is. Unfortunately, the water that comes through your plumbing system contains chlorine and other impurities. When you cleanse your face with impure water, your skin’s pH is disrupted. Instead, you should use an aloe vera juice-based formula to cleanse your face. SOPHYTO has the perfect pH adjusting solution! The Purify & Energise Super Bioactive Toner and the Tone & Balance Super Bioactive Toner are 99% organic facial toners.
The former is best for sluggish, underactive complexions, while the latter helps combination and overly oily complexions. Use the toners in place of water during the cleansing process. After applying a SOPHYTO cleanser to your face to remove surface debris, soak a clean organic cotton pad with one of the toners, and wipe your skin thoroughly. As a result, your skin will be better pH-balanced.
Thema’s Tip: For body polished skin, try this scrub.
Single savionaires, it is a lot of fun cooking dinner for a group of friends, close relatives, or a special someone. However, a lot of you usually find yourself just cooking for one. Unfortunately, too many recipes are written for a serving of at least four in mind. Therefore, you have to adjust the portions of each ingredient, which doesn’t always work out right.
Finally, there is a perfect cookbook that makes dining for one a pure delight. In The Pleasure is All Mine (William Morrow; Hardcover; 256 pages; $24.99), Suzanne Pirret dishes out 100 uncomplicated, exquisite recipes, which are simple to prepare and require no fancy equipment (Translation: You do not have to be the next Julia Child). Each chapter begins with a story based on Pirret’s experiences living in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London, and is followed by recipes that relate to the story. You can choose to make a simple recipe like Best Mac ‘N’ Cheese or a harder one such as Escalope of Foie Gras with Wild Mushrooms and Aged Balsamic. The Pleasure is All Mine makes cooking for one a true pleasure.
