The most striking thing about Living Health, Staying Wealthy is its header, which does send a lot of positive vibes your way. It goes very well with the whole concept of the blog. The color scheme is pleasant to the eyes as well. However, I would have liked to see more contrast between the background color and the fonts – it’s just a little to hard to read. More images could also be added to the posts for a better visual experience.

User Friendliness – 8
Living Health, Staying Wealthy is organized very well, with links to specific sections visible at the top of the page. The pages load with no problem at all. I suggest a section for the archives, though. Also, the About this Blog section can be placed in a more accessible location.
