Five of fruits and vegetables total. All together. And the best way to change your life is to make it easy to do the right thing. People put their fruits in the crisper. Put them on the counter so you can see them. People that leave their fruits and veggies out, eat more of them. I walk around with little baggies. Plan your meals around the veggies, not the meat. Thats a this is managsomething we ca use. Sleep. Evolution would have weaned out sleep if it didnt help us. For eight hours a night, we could be eaten by a saber tooth tiger. The reason that sleep is still there, its so vital to us. We have to automate for ourselves. Sleep trackers, hugely valuable. Find a sleep tracker you can trust.

Women in particular dont think about this. And its critical. Running is great. We show ed tech from ces. But you need to lift your bodys weight. Whats something you should do every day . Use your own body as a weight. A squat is a good example. Pilates. Really . This i do this. Do this for a second, it building up your quads. Looks like youre about to sit. Nice, you can dance to it. All these activities work to build core muscle. If i get rid of all cancer in america, i would give us two or three more years of life. Thats not what kills us. Its frailty.

Now, her daughter is carrying on her moms legacy. Were going to talk to her in a moment. First, her familys powerful story. Reporter their love story touched millions with just days to live, amy courthoukrauss ros penned a personal ad for her husband, jason, titled you may want to marry my husband. In it, she wrote, im facing a deadline. I need to say this and say it right, while, i have your attention and a pulse. She went on to call jason dreamy and encouraged women to date the soontobe widower. Writing, he is an easy man to fall in love with, i did it in one day. The new york went viral. Jason rosenthal, in response to amys essay wrote, it is amys gift with words that has drawn the universe in. Unfortunately, dont have the same aptitude for the written word. If i did, my tale would be about the most epic love story, ours. Amy wrote about wishing she had more time with him and her three children. Ten days after writing the essay, she died of ovarian cancer. She was 51. Her final project before she died was a Childrens Book she coauthored with her daughter titled, dear girl. Were happy to have paris with us this morning. How are you doing . Im doing well. Im a little nervous. I feel im much better with the written word than i am with the spoken word. So, just read dear girl. Youre going to do your mom so proud today. Thank you. It is a beautiful, beautiful book that you and you 2015. Yes. That was around the time she started getting ill . Yeah. Originally, she was going to write this book alone. And she had the idea for us to write it together. So that its message could come from a mother and a daughters perspective to reach the widest audience possible. And you know, shes written many, many Childrens Books, over 30. And throughout my whole childhood, she worked from home. And she would run ideas by me when she first would write a book or she would have a draft of a book and ask me to read through it. And i think she valued the feedback that i gave her during those times. Thats why she approached me with the collaboration of dear girl. I look at the images of you and your mom hugging and kissing. You see some of the beautiful themes about young girls in this the book makes you feel good. Its got beautiful images. But are there some themes that hit especially close to you that you said, that ones for me . The one thing about this book is anyone reading it can turn to any page in this book and feel empowered in one way or another. Whether thats listening to your brave side when making a tough decision or breaking out into dance at the dinner table, feeling comfortable dancing. And as someone from my generation with all of this social media and just being a female, i think its easy to compare yourself to other people. But hopefully reading this book will remind you that you really are wonderful just the way you are. Well, theres so many great bits in the book. Theres one that spoke to me when i read it. It was at the very end. It says, most of all, dear who i love, know ythat you can always turn to me. A lot of people didnt get to know your mom personally. Yes. Tell us a little bit about her. Well, the world knows her as amy, this prolific writer now after this essay. To me, shes always just been my mom. And i will never be able to explain what 20 years of such a rich, fulfilling and joyceous relationship has done for me. But i strongly believe that dear girl offers a sliver of insight into that. And its this tangible piece of art that will forever represent our love. Well, i think shes looking down on you right now and is very proud. Thank you. Thank you for coming to see us.

What its about is mixing pattern and having fun. Go big or go home. And the way that mixing pattern is successful is if you pull a color and have it themed. Its a little bit of black. I wonder when you have the patterns, how to make them work. Is there a trick . The trick is to get things that are complementary and to find one color thats repeated throughout. You see black in the throws and in here. And that ties it all together . And you see the bean bag. The 70s ca going back to something vintage. My 13yearold niece is obsessed with succulents.
