1. Fans of the nutritional supplement CLA believe it can help you get thin. Here’s the skinny from Experience Life on how CLA works and how you can best incorporate it into your fitness regimen.
2. A new backpack is on many back-to-school checklists. Ultimately, you want your child’s backpack to function well and to be safe of harmful materials like PVC (labels may say #3).

3. Do you practice hot yoga? Despite some recent rumblings, a study has shown that it’s not dangerous, just really uncomfortable. Read all about it at Blisstree.
