Financially? I could always do better. Spiritually? I’ve grown. Health & Beauty? I’d rather not say! I’m sure you can figure that one out! With so many o f us goals to better ourselves have a way o f getting pushed behind everything else.

According to a University o f Texas Econom- ics Study, men and women who take care o f themselves by maintaining a health and beauty regimen, make 10 percent to 15 percent more those who don’t.Couldn’t you use a bit more dough?
