Look ma, no kids! Last weekend, mama got a break from pureed baby food, stinky diapers and bath time duty. The grandparents came to the rescue and watched my wee ones as I took off on a beach adventure with my hubby.

Dear Fit,
I drink tons of water, and probably go through four 32-ounce Nalgene bottles within the eight hours I am at the office, so I assume that's the reason. I'm wondering if this is bad for me? I go to the "ladies" at least once an hour to pee, and the guys in my office think it's way too often.

Seems like Karl Lagerfeld has gotten all loved up on us as he presents the Spring couture collection for Chanel. The purely white show was like a big fashion hug and fresh page for the classic French fashion house. It took place in a former bank and I think the collection represents a fresh start for the industry in such tough financial times.

Over the holiday, I was shopping with a friend at a gorgeous smelling London boutique. It's funny to describe a store that way, but second to the great clothes and accessories was an overwhelming warm scent.

Drug Approval
In 2007, the FDA approved risperidone (Risperdal) for short-term treatment of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar I disorder in children ages 10 - 17. Risperidone (an atypical antipsychotic) and lithium (a mood stabilizer) are the two drugs currently approved for treating pediatric patients with bipolar disorder.
Drug Warnings
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa, Symbex) causes a greater risk for high blood sugar than other atypical antipsychotics, according to updated information added to the drug’s warning label.

Radiation Therapy Complications
- Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
- Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Several medical conditions can increase the risk for, or even cause, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Diabetes, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, obesity, and pregnancy are the main conditions associated with CTS. Many of the underlying diseases that contribute to the development of CTS are also associated with more severe forms of CTS.
