This weekend I listened to a podcast by my girlfriends over at TheDivaCast (podcast of five fabulous, fun, forty-something girlfriends) and they shared a great TIP:
Take your car keys to bed with you! If anything happens, just click on the panic button and your car alarm will go off. So, if you hear someone break-in or something happened like a fire or medical emergency, you can alert your neighbors that you need help. (They'd at least call the police if it didn't stop immediately!) Isn't that a great tip? It is also applicable for our parents who may be on their own but may fall (and, you know, couldn't get up!).
Just another example of how much we learn from our girlfriends! So, this week's TIP TUESDAY question is:
What's your favorite safety and/or health TIP?
Maybe it is something as simple as chewable vitamins and calcium/fiber supplements that don't upset your stomach (like I shared with my girlfriend Deana recently - they really do work!). Help make a girlfriend's quality of life better just by sharing a simple little tip! Thanks girlfriends!(And remember that we have lots of PRIZES to give away in the Girlfriendology Monthly Contest! Send in a girlfriend story and you very well may win one of our great prizes!)

I discovered an over the counter herb in capsule form that is wonderful for inducing sleep. It's safe and non-addictive and could be used instead of sleeping pills. The herb is called Valerian and 3 capsules send me quickly into dreamland with no side affects and it's really safe. Try it, but check with your Dr. first to make sure it's okay for you to take. Only downside-They're kind of smelly!
My favourite safety tip this year: my friend Sandy had a security screen door installed & it's gorgeous. She's totally ok with leaving the door locked & the screens open all night now. So cool! She got it from metalex doors in Toronto.
