According to the American Heart Association, over 7 million Americans have suffered a heart attack in their lifetime. Heart disease causes roughly 1.2 million heart attacks each year, but sometimes a heart attack can be brought on from other, more surprising factors.

Hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and stress are common risk factors for heart attacks, along with family history and old age. But did you know that even low HDL – the “good” cholesterol – can be a risk…Read full post

What would women be without men. We criticize them, we get angry at them, we argue with them, we sometimes even hate them! But in the end, we do realize one important thing: we couldn’t live without them! And just like the L.A Girl is a very special breed of woman, the L.A Guy is a very special breed of man.

A wise man once said, “Cheater, Cheater, Pumpkin Eater!” I actually have no idea what that absurd phrase means, but to me personally, it insinuates that cheating, to put it eloquently, is just immoral, selfish, and hedonistic.
