It is a great time to look back on the holidays, and reflect on how you did. I am talking about how you did with meal planning, stress management, and even keeping within your budget. Also, how well did you do sticking to your diet goals? Did you gain a few pounds, maintain, or lose a bit?

Know your birth control options.
As women, there are many different options that we have for birth control. They range from the pill, IUD, condoms, and abstinence to more invasive procedures such as tube tying, or our male partner being snipped.
