Over 40? Grabbing a pair of readers everytime you want to read something? Get used to it. Unfortunately eyesight is one thing that slides away slowly as we age. However, I've found a terrific supplement that seems to help. It's by my fave vitamin company www.procaps.com (Andrew Lessman). I first saw him on one of the shopping channels years ago and ordered something. I think it was the Circulation, Leg and Vein support. Now, nearly 8 years later I cannot be without this supplement. It truly helps with any heaviness I feel in my legs. It's one of those supplements that you don't notice anything if you DO take it; but you sure notice when you don't. But I digress... eyesight is another topic and the supplement I love is the Ultimate Eye Support on the procaps' site. I take it and I swear my eyes don't get as tired or blurry (placebo effect?). It seems to help. Also, from WebMD, here are a few great nutritional choices for helping to keep your eyes br...

How to Avoid and Reduce Wrinkles Guest Posted by: Nino A small wrinkle on the young face creates fear of aging. As we grow we get wrinkles. Most of us get wrinkles first and then rush to get costly and painful treatments done to remove them. How about preventing them? I agree that all of them cannot be probably stopped, but some can be for sure. Let me tell you how? Wrinkles On Skin- How Do They Form? Sleep on one side for many years and your face on that side will develop wrinkles . Can we not change our sleeping position after every few days? Do that and find out. Smoke and you pull your muscles near the mouth. You will develop the typical wrinkles of a smoker called smoker lines soon. Stop smoking and stop that. Moreover smoking also forms more free radicals that damage the healthy collagen in the skin and make your skin sag with typical signs under the eyes, cheeks etc. Go out in the sun and let the UV strike your face. It will damage the skin immediately. Your upper ...

Why Should You Choose an Organic Moisturizer This is currently the craze in beauty products. There are several criteria that one needs to check to ensure that they have the correct product on their dressing table. There are organic moisturizers for skin and hair. The role of a moisturizer is to attract moisture and create a barrier that protects the moisture that is already there. You thus protect your skin from losing moisture and on the same layer use the moisture it has optimally. A moisturizer has basically two components namely emollients and humectants : - Emollients make skins smoother. - Humectants hold the skin Moisture. An organic moisturizer is packed with natural antioxidants, vitamins and other natural ingredients to keep the body supple, and the skin youthful and young. Price Organic moisturizers are generally pocket friendly. They don't cost a leg to purchase because their production cycle is relatively short Country of Origin This is very imp...

The Secret to High Social Media Rankings How to Get KLOUT So, Miriam, why did you write this book? I wrote this ebook because the fact of the matter is, social media is extremely prevalent to the point that is it taking over not just traditional forms of advertising (radio, TV, print) but the first thing people do if they want to find out about you is to look at your social networks and activity.   If you say you are a professional in a particular field but yet there is nothing that you have done online that shows that, no one will take you seriously. The fact of the matter is, what you do online spills onto your offline world. That is how prevalent social media is. Social media is a huge passion of mine and always has been. It took me a while to learn the proper methods of using it but once I learned, it helped me in so many ways that I wanted to help others as well. So I had written this ebook for partially that purpose but I wanted to also teach othe...

  10 Years Younger is just a few minor changes away.   Top Over-40 Makeup Tips:   No Powder No Lipliner Light pink/beige/off-white crayon/chunky pencil No dark eyeliner Use color: lips, cheeks, eyes No shimmer Concealer Moisturizer / Self Tanner   First, we’ll assume your skin is being properly exfoliated with a microdermabrasion, gentle peel, mask, etc. Also, you’ll need good moisturizer and sunscreen.   You may also wish to combine a small drop of self-tanner in your daily sunscreen. This will give your skin a nice low-key glow. Just use a drop each day or every other day. You may be able to get by without foundation if you use this method of giving your skin some “natural” color. If you decide to use the self-tanner in your sunscreen or moisturizer, be sure your skin is properly exfoliated.   A word on exfoliation: Don’t overdo it. Using a gentle cleaner daily, a mask on...

Eyeball-it Mushroom Soup Mushrooms Stock: Vegetable and Chicken Carrots, Celery, Onion, Thyme Cream or Half and Half Sherry Olive oil/Butter This is mostly an non-measured soup and super easy to make. It's very hearty and satisfying on a cold winter evening! Take a soup pot and add a healthy drizzle of olive oil and a 1" pat of butter. Let it melt. Add 1/2 of one yellow diced onion and one garlic clove (minced). Cook until onion starts to turn clear (about 4 minutes). Add chopped mushrooms--use any you like, but chop them the same size for even cooking. I use portabella, shitakke, and button. Add some thyme (about 1 tsp.). Cook for about 5 minutes. You can also add some diced carrots and celery. Once mushrooms and veggies are starting to cook, add 2 cans of vegetable stock and one can of chicken stock. Add a healthy dose of sherry (about 1/4 cup). Cover and cook on simmer for about 40 minutes. Stir now and then. When near finished...

        Don't know about you, but I've got about 5 tubes at any given time of mascara. Some are high-end, some drugstore, but all share one thing: They dry up. It may be because I live in a very dry climate, but here's something I do to revive them to a glossy, creamy texture vs. the dry, clumpy texture they've become.   Just run hot water in your basin and plop the tube (make sure it's closed tightly). Let the hot water run over the tube while you do something else (line your eyes, apply concealer, etc.). Then, after a few moments (about 60-90 seconds is enough), your mascara should be nice revived!              

Saw this guy on Dr. Oz the other day (while running on my treadmill, thank you very much) and I like what he had to say.

OK, I love the new stuff, new technology in makeup and new ideas. So a couple of years ago when vibrating mascara came out, I got me some. I love it. I remember telling a friend I used it and she looked at me like I was crazy. I said "It really does apply mascara better!" Anyway, fast forward to now and I just discovered the coolest new thing: A Vibrating Auto Puff that literally sweeps your foundation on like it's air-brushed. It's super smooth and looks more natural than even air-brushed (in my opinion). IPKN has caused a buzz in Korea and is now expanding into the North American market. IPKN is a make-up applicator that comes in the form of a vibrating auto puff that’s used for the application of foundation. The vibrating auto puff is easily used as a handy make-up tool for light and long-wearing coverage and provides even coverage without any visible streaks to the face. The applicator has an 8 in 1 function (Primer, Sunblock, Base, Foundation, Powder, BB Cr...

I am a sucker for infomercials (as you know if you read this blog!). Well, as an anti-aging diva (self-proclaimed, of course), I had to check out the Perricone Sub-D. I used Perricone when it first came on the market and I liked it well enough, except for the price. For the price I thought it should perform mircles, which it didn't (no mere cream or serum can). So when I saw the offer for the low-priced ($40ish) set including the super firmer, Sub-D, I jumped at it. Here's my first look: I've used it just over a week now and honestly cannot give a full review as it would take several weeks or months to know, but as a "religious" user (twice a day), I can offer a glimpse to you. I don't much like the Citrus Wash (never have) so I don't use it, but I do like the High Potency Facial Amine Firming serum, although have not seen much in the way of results, I will continue to use it daily with fingers crossed. The regular Cold Plasma cream is nice-...

Fun amazon book! Check it out...      I watched just a few minutes of Dr. Oz today and was oh-so-happy to hear one of the guests talking about cellulite reducers. Once is to eat several spoonfuls of lycopene-packed tomato paste (uh, no thanks...not without some pasta!). But, the other was that eating pineapple would help reduce cellulite. Bromelein is the cause and pineapple is packed with it (well, the stem is). But eating 1.5 cups of pineapple a day (or taking 500 mg. Bromelein supplement) will do the trick. Also, she said to eat it about 1.5 hours after dinner. A great sweet treat! See more about this episode...

Stirring the Dark: Paranormal Short Stories     REVIEW:   As we age our hair gets thinner and weaker. The very best vitamins I've found for keeping my hair thick and strong are the ProCaps by Andrew Lessman: Hair, Skin and Nails formula.   I've been taking these for years and one thing that I notice is super long nails. I mean, my nails grow so fast and long that I have to cut them down! This is an excellent formula for my nails.   For my skin, I know when I take it I feel my skin is slightly firmer, less saggy and sallow. It may just be me, but when I don't take this supplement for awhile, I do notice it.   Hair? It's really a great hair vitamin. It isn't a hard-pressed tablet (none of theirs are) and it seems to really help my hair get long and strong.   I only recommend things I really can speak highly of and that I've tested significantly. If you're looking for a great supplement to keep your hair long and strong, grow ...

This is the bane of my existance lately! Middle-aged pudge. Ask almost any woman over the age of 40 and it will be on her top 10 (usually top 3) of things she is beyond frustrated about in getting a little older. We can stay current, hip, glowing and fit, but the bit of pudge around of middles is a thing of mystery. We try eating less. No go. Working out more. No go. Working out and eating less. No go. So what gives? After hunkering down for the past three months to truly figure this out for myself, I've discovered a couple of things that have helped (me, at least). They are not miraculous, but they may help open your eyes a bit to your own plight. 1. Prescriptions: I was on birth control and a low-dose anti-anxiety (mostly to help me sleep). Both are certified weight-gainers (regardless of what most "professionals" will tell you--real people will tell you they gained weight on either or both). I did tons of research and worked to get off both (Check with your doc...

Terrific primer, if used correctly! I've used a LOT of primers including Geller, Mercier, Smashbox, Olay. You get the idea. The one I'm most impressed with for filling hollows (under eyes) and cracks is definitely the Loreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base. I'm not sure how "magic" it is, but this stuff does work. The trick it use it right. This one doesn't go all over the face, or you risk getting little "pills" of product that ball up under foundation. But...if you use it in just your most severely cracked areas (nose to mouth, forehead, eye area), you'll get super results. Use a light hand with it. It is very heavy compared to other primers, hence it's great "filling" properties. I love it in my under-eye hollows that are forming. I apply this the fill the area, then my foundation and concealer. By layering lightly, I get a really nice finished look.   TRY IT! Give it try with my link above for a trial size!

Have you heard about the latest workout trend? It's known by several names: Burst, Tabata, Hiit, High Metabolic Interval and more. It's what the Insanity workout and new Jillian Michaels workout is based on, as well as countless others. Learn more about Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (15 DVD's) What is it? Essentially it's simply working out for a MAXIMUM (huffing and puffing ad sweating) rate for a short time. This means doing intervals that are super high intensity (squat jumps, plyometrics) for several seconds (20 or 30, usually) and then a short rest (10 or 15 seconds) and then repeating several times. Hard? Yes. Great results fast? Yes. I've been doing this for a few weeks and I'm not lying...my legs are looking more toned than they have in 20 years. It's fast and you basically "get in and get out." I'm loving it and you might too. Here's one to try (see below)... See the 90 second workout

Here's a tip: Whenever you have the disappointing and frustrating experience of buying the next "miracle" skincare cream or serum that just absolutely promises to make you look 20 years younger (and doesn't)...put it on your bedside table. Instead of letting old products that are less than thrilling collect dust in your bathroom or tossing them and completely losing money, just use them on your hands at night before bed. Don't use plain, old handcream for anti-aging; use your reject skincare creams on your hands and then put on your handcream OVER the skincare, if necessary. Doing this will help you anti-age your hands and provide a good way to use up products that don't seem to do much for your face. Since you rarely anti-age your hands, you'll see better results hereI've been doing this for a couple of years (religiously) and it really has helped my hands be less crepey and old looking.

It's nuts. One day you're sleeping like a rock...the next you're fighting for just 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Whether it's early wakening, waking several times per night or the awful night sweats, hormones can serious wreak havoc in your life. Finding a solution can be just as frustrating. Hormones, sleep aids, prescriptions, anti-anxiety pills, vitamins, herbs...what works? One product found to actually WORK and work fast without next-day hangover is the Estroven Nighttime formula. This is a somewhat newer formula from Estroven and has some sleep helpers (like melatonin) included. After trying several different things, I am so happy to report this stuff works! I do take a little extra melatonin with it (a combo that works for me). When I find something that works, I like to share since this is such a frustrating problem and one that many docs just don't seem to "get." (It's got good reviews on amazon and on other blogs, too!) ...

John's Hopkins Cancer Update *FYI: This was sent to me via email and I've copied it here for you with only minor editing* Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins: 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have  multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients  that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the  cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable  size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and  forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has  nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,  but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5.
