Francesca says: mattresses should be turned, ideally, at least once a month. Francesca admits to doing it only every six months, but it still extends the life and springiness of the mattress!
Here is a tip: Take a permanent marker and write numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the various heads of the mattress. It makes it easy, when you turn it, to remember which side should now be under your head.
Here are instructions for turning a mattress.

Francesca says: Remember to schedule your regular gynecological exam, with a Pap smear if it is time for one.
(Francesca is leaving the guidelines open on purpose, because she notices that the age at which one is recommended to start getting Pap smears, whether one has to be sexually active to warrant a Pap smear, and how often one should have a Pap smear varies greatly from country to country. Ask your doctor if you need one, when you go.)

PS If you have an idea for a Big Reminder, please email to Francesca@shoeblogs.com.
Francesca will say it before and she will say it again:
You should be re-measured for proper bra size every six months and/or whenever you gain or lose a few pounds.
The right “foundation garments” make all the difference in looking superfantastic!
If you live in New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Miami, or San Diego, Francesca recommends bra fittings at Intimacy. They know what they are doing! Just remember their bra cups run a little small, so if they say you wear, say, a 42D, then you probably wear a 42C when shopping elsewhere. But they will show you how a bra is supposed to look and feel!

It is Friday! Francesca wants you to think: When was the last time you danced?
It has been too long!
This weekend, Francesca wants you to dance. Even if it just means putting your favorite CD into the player and swaying or boogey-ing to your favorite jazz, classical, rock or pop.
Every body dance!
Video hat tip: Big Fat DealDance! Dance! Dance!

Francesca says: If you are not in the habit already, please do a breast self-exam today! It only takes a minute!
It may also be time to have a mammography. Are you over 40? Has a year passed since your last mammography? Don’t delay, schedule today!
Francesca hath spoken!

Francesca says: Now that you have a new toothbrush, is it time to see a dentist? When was your last regular cleaning and teeths checkup? Call right now to make an appointment!
She also says: When you are done with your teeths cleaning, go right away to the secretary to schedule the next one in six months. That way, you do not have to remember to call in half a year.
xoxo
