So today is International Women's Day, and there are lots of cool symbolic gestures happening (McDonald's flipping the golden arches to make a W, for one).

But hey, being a woman is a day in and day out affair, right? So here are some ways to empower and appreciate being a woman (or for the women in our lives):

• Make time to take care of you! Life is stressful, and women are often the ones multitasking and juggling many hats at a time. The time you set aside to destress will allow you to mentally and physically recharge and make the most of your busy life.
• Invest in and enjoy your romantic relationships often. A great way to do so on an everyday basis is preparing nutritious, delicious meals together. Not only is spending time together romantic, but the rewards of working together toward a healthy lifestyle will last a lifetime.

  

• Speaking of lifestyle, now is a good time to work on getting to a healthy weight (HINT: Garcinia cambogia may help and it's on sale now!). Don't do it just for swimsuit season but for your heart and brain too.
• Add spices and nutritional supplements to your daily routine. According to many studies, turmeric is especially good for women. If you decide to use turmeric in supplement form, learn what to look for so you're taking the best supplement. Of course we recommend totally organic Healthceuticals® Turmeric Curcumin Complex, which is formulated for optimal absorption and bioavailability.

Lastly, be sure to cultivate and appreciate all the great women - sisters, friends, mothers, aunts, colleagues - in your life. Let them know you love and care about them every day, not just today. :)
