Why Women Face Unique Retirement Challenges
It's no secret that there are great income inequities between women and men in America. But one rarely discussed part of that equation is how women fare in retirement compared with men. A new study I authored, recently released by Americans for Secure Retirement, called "The Female Factor: Why Women Face Greater Retirement Risk and What Can Be Done To Help Beyond Employer-Based Retirement Programs," shows that, because women on average earn less income, accumulate less retirement benefits and live longer than men, they are at far greater risk than men to experience a drop in living standard after they retire.

If you want your skin to look its best, it may be particularly important to change your skincare regimen as the weather changes. Dermatologists say skin becomes more sensitive, dry and irritated during colder seasons, leaving it prone to redness and overall facial irritation.
But sensitive skin needs even more attention during the cold winter months. Dermatologist and author Dr. Susan Taylor says people should be sure to use a gentle cleanser on their faces and that skin needs to be moisturized every day, especially during cold weather.

You Don't Have To Be Burdened With Back Pain During Pregnancy
More than four million women give birth each year in the U.S. An enormous number of changes occur within a woman's body during the nine months of pregnancy. Among them, hormonal changes cause ligament laxity, or a loosening of the ligaments, especially where the spine and pelvis connect. As the weight of the growing baby increases, a women's posture shifts to accommodate her changing body, applying additional pressure to the spine and lower back. It comes as no surprise that a large majority of expectant women will experience some type of back pain.
