The best health advice for woman I have ever been given is to have a high self-esteem. Every woman out there can go on a healthy diet, or work out more, but the real secret to being healthy is feeling good about you. Where is your motivation to work out, eat better, or take those daily vitamins going to come from if you don't feel good about yourself?

I wanted to let you know about a really great contest that is going on right now on fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg’s website. She is sponsoring a web-based contest called “Women You Love,” and is asking for people to submit entries that describe a woman who has been inspirational to them. The grand prize winner will receive a $5,000 shopping spree, a trip for two to New York and two tickets to a fashion show—not bad!
