Now Appearing in Generation Boom
I’ve added a new publication to my client list: Generation Boom, a magazine targeted at baby boomers. What is Generation Boom? “The magazine redefining life, health and finance after forty. It’s the source for conversational, relevant articles that discuss everything from health and fitness to travel and inspirational people.” I’m enjoying my assignments so far.

Do you lie to your doctor?
This week’s assignment is to track down the 5 Lies We Tell our Doctors.

The issue now on newsstands (free, as always!) features my article on compounding pharmacies — those which still mix up your medication (or your pet’s) tailored to your needs. Get it flavored, mashed into a transdermal gel, molded into a lozenge, on a stick as a lollipop — you name it. Next month I tackle how to create a romantic bedroom. … Read entire article »
