How to Use Your Phone to Track Your Period

I've already confessed my slightly unhealthy love for my Blackberry. But after reading about this free program that alerts you via text message when you're ovulating, I may never let my phone out of my sights. Trying to get preggers? Trying not to get knocked up? We've got your number...

BabyCenter.com's Booty Caller program is meant for people trying for a baby, but you can also use it to remind you when you should be extra-careful in case you don't want to get pregnant. You get a series of 18 text messages that lets you know when you're most likely to be fertile and tips on boosting your odds of conception. Sample messages include: "Your fertile window opens today and lasts 5 more days. Stress can get in the way of conception so relax and get a massage, meditate, or take a yoga class," and "Today is your last fertile day!" There's also the option to send your partner alerts about when you're ovulating--whoa, baby!

How to Stress Less: Play! (Here's How to Sneak Some Into Even the Worst Workday)

Deep breathing, distraction, chocolate--we all have our ways to de-stress. But put "play" on your list says Stuart Brown, M.D., the author of the new book "Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination and Invigorates the Soul." You've probably got the play thing down on the weekends, but how the heck are you supposed to play during the work week? Here are some creative ways...

Continuing in our theme of stress--and how to deal with it--this week, I consulted with Stuart Brown, a doctor and "play expert." He says that play is an important biological drive that we need to survive--and to live happily. A lack of play leads to stress, anxiety and depression, he believes, just as a lack of sleep or poor diet does.

How to Fight Breast Cancer From Your Desk

To help encourage 1 million women to participate in research about the causes and prevention of breast cancer, The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation asked film students to create short Public Service Announcements about the cause. We loved the idea so much that we've been airing the top videos right here on glamour.com all week. On Friday, we'll ask you to vote for your favorite. Check out today's video now!

Of their video, Million in the Mirror, Marc Parees and Ryan Silbert, of New York University's Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television, say:

"When we were deciding what to create to advocate for the Army of Women, we found ourselves focusing on how a creative individual could empower herself and inspire others to join her in creating change. It was particularly exciting to involve our mothers (both cancer survivors) and some of the powerful and influential women in our lives."

Healthy Hair Starts From the Inside – 10 Foods for Lovely Locks

This morning, after a spending a tedious 25 minutes in front of the mirror trying to add some life to my listless locks (and avoid my usual ponytail) I gave up and scheduled what I know will be a costly but much needed appointment with Pete, my hairdresser.

Like every other woman on the planet, I want beautiful, healthy, shiny hair. I also know I spend way too much money trying to get it; two hundred dollars on a professional haircut and color, then fifty on shampoo and conditioner, and that doesn’t even take into account the extra masques, treatments or tools, but even then those shiny locks aren’t easy to come by.

Healthy Eyes for Life! June Is Vision Research Month

It is easy to take our eyes for granted. Unless there is a problem or discomfort of some kind, we usually just rely on our eyes to perform properly without a second thought. However, as new cases of vision impairment and blindness are continually increasing according to Prevent Blindness America, it is important to be proactive regarding eye care!

In Plain Sight

Taking action early is the best bet to help maintain healthy eyes and lasting vision.

Some eye problems have ‘silent’ symptoms that may not even appear until permanent damage has already occurred, such as glaucoma. Other times, the symptoms may be present but mild and therefore ignored, such as with episcleritis infection, a less severe eye problem that still should be addressed to prevent a more serious condition.

How to Deal With Rude Comments, Gawkers, Cat Calls While Jogging

How many times has this happened to you: You're on a nice, peaceful run--in a ratty old T-shirt and sweats for crying out loud--and some guy rolls down his car window and starts howling at you like you're bouncing around in a bikini? Grrrrrr. Read on to commiserate and for some advice ...

Loved, loved, loved this FitSugar post on a topic that I think so many women can identify with: rude comments from people while they're running outside. Whether the remark is sexual in nature ("hey honey, nice butt!") or just plain rude ("what's the hurry? On your way to McDonalds?") chances are good that you've gotten at least one rude comment hurled your way while hitting the pavement. I know I have!
