        <![CDATA[<h2 class='shbg'>Ever wanted to know if dryer balls live up to the hype?</h2>

<p>There's one question I wanted answered this year: do dryer balls work? You see them all the time in the supermarket -- pointy plastic looking balls, like a cross between a golf ball and some sort of medieval weapon. So what's all the fuss about, and why would you want these things in the first place?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<h2 class='shbg'>Even if you're on a diet, ice cream doesn't have to fall from your meal plan! Check out these low cal favorites</h2>

<p>I love ice cream, but the thought of diet ice cream makes me cringe. All too often, we're talking about grainy, sticky clumps of too sweet goo with a vaguely dairy feel to them. Fortunately, though, diet ice cream doesn't have to be awful. The key lies in compromise. If you try to go with nonfat, no sugar ice cream, it will probably taste like, well, it doesn't have any fat or sugar.</p>

<p>Instead, you want to opt for lowered fat and sugar. And by the way, don't think that going for something like rice milk or soy products makes the calorie count automatically improve -- some tofu based products boast more fat than Hagen Daaz!</p>

<p>But there are companies out there making fantastic diet ice cream, so before you get too despondent, give these brands a try.</p>]]>
