As I mentioned in one of my previous post on the benefits of Flaxseed in your diet . Studies have recently shown that taking flaxseed can really improve dry and sensitive skin. Researchers assigned 45 nonsmoking women with these skin issues to take 2.2 grams of flaxseed oil for 12 weeks.
After the initial 12 weeks all experienced improvements to their skin, including sensitivity, redness, hydration, scaling, and roughness. Flaxseed oil is rich in fatty acids which help to reduce inflammation to the skin. I continue to include flaxseed in my diet everyday and have already started to feel the benefits.

Yoga has been around for centuries, and is becoming sort of a phenomenon as of late. I actually just signed up for a session of Yoga classes. I am really looking forward to it.
I was equally thrilled when I saw this recent article on Yahoo! from HealthDay News:
Yoga’s postures, controlled breathing and meditation may work together to help ease brains plagued by anxiety or depression, a new study shows.
Brain scans of yoga practitioners showed a healthy boost in levels of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) immediately after a one-hour yoga session. Low brain levels of GABA are associated with anxiety and …read more

Oh dear, I have noticed a few. On my hands. Ugly, little brown, patchy spots. Age spots. I hate them. I want them gone, and better yet, I have been looking into how to prevent age spots in the first place.
The best way to prevent age spots is to protect your skin from the sun by using an effective sunscreen or sun block. Each and every day. I swear I have been lathering sunscreen on my hands throughout the day.
By putting on anti-aging sunscreen each and every day, like I have just started doing, you give your skin a barrier …read more

Ahhh. Aveeno.
You see it on the shelves at your drugstore. But have you looked deep into Aveeno. I swear this line is worthy of a department store. And they recently launched two new products in their Positively Ageless line. It consists of a Rejuvenating Serum and Night Cream.
Both of these treatments are formulated with a natural Shiitake Complex. This complex self adjusts to everyone’s unique skins chemistry to visibly reduce the signs of aging. You see, everyone’s skin has a unique pattern of aging – almost like a fingerprint. So self-adjusting anti-aging treatments just may be the answer to younger-looking …read more

We see this written across many anti-aging wrinkle creams. It is even sometimes is difficult to distinguish between the ones that truly have the proof to back it up versus those who hope that with their fancy ingredients, it will work.
One microdermabrasion product I have been using, has been put to the test. And form my few weeks of results, I believe that it is working.

I have been using the Daily Microdermabrasion Cleansing Disks from RoC – and I have fallen for these. These discs go way beyond normal cleansing by providing results similar to microdermabrasion. But it is …read more

I am in a full on major exercise kick these days. I do a bit of stretching, light weights, and stomach crunches, but my main focus is walking. Oh – I like the walking. I am up to just over 5 miles a day, which I break up into two separate walking expeditions.
The first walk I take is in the morning, and that walk is just over 2 miles. It is a nice easy walk, with only one hill up in the beginning, and another one at the end – which is sometimes a killer, depending how I am balancing …read more

I caught a few minutes of the morning gabfest over at The View this morning, and I was thrilled to see the gorgeous Goldie Hawn filling in as a guest co-host. She looks amazing. She is amazing! I got me thinking about her age. She is 62 years old, people! It’s not fair that she can look so great, and be so fun, and full of life.

Goldie Hawn is definitely Sassy (and sexy) and over 60!
