Anti-Aging 3 : Take Yourself Less Seriously

May 29, 2008

Your sense of humor about yourself can get awfully watered down sometimes. It’s important to always be light-hearted because otherwise your skin won’t look so good. The distraction could also result in poor color choices which we never want.
Don’t let down your guard about skin and colors. About everything else, are you even going to remember it in 2 weeks?

WOMAN + STRENGTH = GORGEOUS : 4 TOUGH STEP CIRCUIT WORKOUTS

May 27, 2008

Circuit means that cardio and strength segments keep alternating, a few minutes of one alternating with a few minutes of the other. This is my favorite type of exercise because the cardio gets done and I get strength with lots of variety. The time never passes faster than with circuits.

[ KEYWORD : GIVE ]

May 24, 2008

If you read the post on The Price of Happiness, and you tried it out a few times, you may have noticed the tranquility that is derived from being thankful. Maybe you were as surprised as I was by how quickly it happened.
As soon as you feel thankful, you automatically feel looked after and cared for. This knowledge brings you to a sensation of inward peace. I thought about this for awhile and wondered if I could turn the beam outside of my own body.

LIPLINER IS SO EASY…EXCEPT FOR ONE THING

May 20, 2008

I know what you’re picturing : the awful dark line after the lipstick has worn off.

Here is the blog of a woman named Emily. She is doing what so many of us would do in a perfect world. She has made the commitment to only buy from companies that truly do not employ animals at any stage of testing their product.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE HAS KIDNAPPED MY MOTHER

May 10, 2008

Six years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. At first we didn’t know what to expect. This sounds naive, but it wasn’t really. We had no experience with the disease. Mother was just getting a bit confused. Somehow, she went from being confused to being frozen in a wheelchair and being spoon-fed puréed food. This is the story of what happened in between the beginning and the end.

EMPOWERED MEANS OVER MYSELF

May 6, 2008

We talk about being empowered women. Just what are we empowered over?

We talk about the fact that others treat us as we have taught them to. We talk about deciding our future instead of letting it happen to us. It sounds like the idea is to learn to have power over others. But that’s not it at all.

FEAR, FAILURE, AND THE VOICE OF WISDOM

May 3, 2008

In my years of working with women investors I have come to appreciate our ability to acknowledge and manage complex and intense emotion. Does this sound like the words of a psychologist or a financial advisor? I believe that you cannot advise people about their wealth and the market place without a strong understanding of human motivation and behaviour.
