Forgive my rant here, but I must tell you something. I am a people watcher. A people critic. And I love to critique those that just think they are “all that” and then some!
Imagine the things I had to say to my walking buddy this afternoon when a 50-something lady with way too much makeup on, with way too much bleach in her hair, too much perfume, high heeled sneakers, and too short shorts breezed on by. Who did she think she was? Seriously. The only person that could nearly pull off this look would be Paris Hilton.
We need to …read more

Have you heard of the thread lift?
A friend of mine, in her fifties, had a thread lift last year. I saw her about a week after the procedure, and I noticed some swelling to her cheeks. I honestly thought that maybe she had just had her wisdom teeth pulled, and thought not much more of it. Then a month or so later when we got together, she had two dimples on each of her upper cheeks, on each side, so four in total. I then had to ask her what she did. She explained that she had a countour thread …read more

Have any of you ever done this?
For my 40th birthday, a few of my friends and I are planning a girls only spa getaway weekend. I cannot wait.
I love the fact that it will be about me, me, me – of course, but that I will indulge myself – mind & body – into relaxation with close friends. I will admit that I am a bit worried that we might get a bit caddy and gossip sometimes, but my main goal will be to rejuvenate and relax.
Here are the spa choices we are looking at. One is for a totally …read more

Dan Buettner refers to them as Blue Zones — geographical locations people reside that appear to give them an advantage when it comes to living longer, active, healthier lives. Buettner has been traveling the globe in search of these locations in order to learn the secrets of longevity from the residents who live there. In his quest thus far, the writer and avid adventurer has traveled to Costa Rica, Sardinia, Okinawa and Loma Linda, California.
In profiling the residents, Buettner states he has discovered both unique and common characteristics of people who not only live much longer than most of us, …read more

It’s the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. who matter.
Marlene Dietrich
Is there anyone on your list of friends that wouldn’t mind you calling them at 4:00 a.m?? Damn, I need to find some new friends. The only person that I would dare do that is my sister, my mom and my brother… oh yes, I can add my son’s name to that list, but friends… I don’t know??
How would you feel about calling someone in the wee hours of the morning??

I was talking about this problem yesterday and thought that I would stay just a little longer. A friend pointed out that social support was one good way to handle it. She is certain that the clubs that she has joined over the years has provided her with a network of women she can talk to when she needs to.
Makes sense to me. Any other tips for dealing with stress that is working for you??
