Change Lives At The Edge Of Your Comfort Zone

July 8, 2008

Did any of you have a chance to read the Beauty Bulletin dated June 26, 2008 from Paula’s Choice? The Beauty Bulletins are an easy to stay up to date on special promotions and the latest reviews. In this edition, Paula takes a departure from her product and consumer focused topics to tell a personal anecdote from her past. I LOVED this story.

Bike Sprints And Ab Intervals

June 30, 2008

The purest thinking can come while exercising on a machine, because it clears out your mind of everything but that one movement that is being repeated. The doorway for more creative ideas opens in the absence of complex choreography.
The problem is that I get bored. Very bored. I start focusing on how bored I am, followed quickly by how exhausted I am. That happens within the first 10 minutes so I have to find ways to keep going.

Your Perfect Colors

June 24, 2008

V.1 of this article was written 8 months ago. I’ve changed it a little because I used a picture that didn’t belong to me. Back then, I didn’t understand copyright regulations on the internet. I took the picture down of course. I took down the entire article. It was a chance to think about what I wrote again. I am more certain than ever that what is written below is correct.
Back in 1981, Carole Jackson wrote a great book called Color Me Beautiful. This is an amazing book. The information contained on those pages is still right on.

The Universe Isn’t Out There

June 18, 2008

There’s an article in the Archives called Hey, Universe, Are You Ignoring Me? The question arose from my exasperation with having tried to think all the right thoughts, declaring my intentions to the Universe, and yet finding no opportunities arising from it, not even small ones.
It has been revealed to me that there is no Universe out there that is listening to my intentions. The only Universe that matters is inside my own head. It is my own subconscious that needs to hear my plans.

Book Review : Cooking With Foods That Fight Cancer

June 11, 2008

While it’s true that some cancers can be cured nowadays, it still must figure among the most dreaded diagnoses. In Canada, 400 people are told they have cancer each day. Can you imagine being one of them?
Not a week goes by that I don’t have to tell an owner that their pet has cancer. Dogs get it a lot, especially the bigger breeds. Seeing the devastation in the family and the deterioration in the animal as this sickness claims its life makes me very aware of the hideous misery of it.

CLINIQUE : A GORGEOUS LIPSTICK, A FABULOUS SUNSCREEN

April 25, 2008

It ’s Clinique Bonus time at Sears Canada. I normally find the Bonus very hit-and-miss. Besides their High Impact mascara, there are very few Clinique products that I love and am willing to pay for. The lipsticks come in some good colors but have less staying power than Vaseline, whichever type I buy. The April 2008 bonus has some good things in it and it’s yours for a CDN$26.50 purchase.

BOOK REVIEW:NICE GIRLS DON’T GET THE CORNER OFFICE

February 3, 2008

As women, our social conditioning teaches us to be kind, cooperative, to get along, and keep the peace. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could behave in this way that comes so naturally, and be perceived in the way we intend…as kind and nice?
Here is how we’re really perceived : WEAK. And not just by [...]

STRENGTH FROM TRAGEDY

January 21, 2008

Most of us experience a horrifying misfortune or heartbreak at some time. Divorce, death, illness, or bankruptcy are life-changing events. Is there a way of dealing with them with a view to coming out stronger on the other side?
