I don’t care what anyone tries to tell themselves, but the image that is reflected in the mirror has a tremendous impact on the way we feel about ourselves.

If we like what we see, we feel more confident and more self-assured.

If you don’t believe me, just watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear”, “How to Look Good Naked” and “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style”! The participants give a very different vibe at the end of the show (after their makeover) compared to the way they looked at the beginning of the show.

Some might say that the need to look younger is all about vanity, but truth be told, we do care about our appearances and we do care about how we are perceived by others. This resonates even louder as we age.

>>> Discover the secrets to looking your best with or without cosmetic enhancement

As an aging well expert, I know firsthand that you DO NOT have to spend thousands of dollars each month to keep looking younger as you age.

I’ve had the privilege of working and interviewing countless celebrity makeup artists, medical doctors, personal trainers, stylists and skincare experts and I’ve documented all of this knowledge in one practical and essential beauty guide for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!

>>> I know the topic of aging well inside out!

1) Since publishing my online magazine in June 2007, I’ve reviewed literally thousands of products and I have tested several hundreds of them personally.

2) Women from around the world read my advice. In fact, each day thousands of women read my site and each month I get hundreds of thousands of pages of advice viewed by readers in over 160 countries around the world!

3) I’ve also interviewed many of the leading experts in the beauty and skincare industry (including several top cosmetic doctors and plastic surgeons) and I’ve also had some of the top celebrity makeup artists and hairdressers spill on the secret weapons they use to make Hollywood’s leading ladies look red-carpet ready.

4) I test more products in one week than most women will test in a whole year.

5) Each month, I read about 50 online and off-line magazines to keep on top of any news relating to aging well because I focus on teaching women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s how to age without ever looking (or feeling) old.

>>>> Why I wrote “Beauty has NO age limit”

I title my new book: “Beauty has NO age limit” for a reason. I believe that today, we can look and feel as youthful as we chose to because we have the power within our grasp to take advantage of so much great knowledge to help us make better choices as we age.

Look around you and you’ll see that many of your siblings, relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors and contacts are taking a more assertive approach to the way they age. Countless numbers of everyday women are saying NO to aging like their mothers and grandmothers did because they’ve made the decision to take better care of their skin, hands, body and health.

Are you turning 35, 40, 45, 55, 70 or anything in between?

>>> Are you worried or scarred of the aging process?

Every day I get several emails from women just like you.

You are about to celebrate a birthday, but you’re not feeling too happy about the aging process?

With the right information, you can control how you age.

Thanks to this newfound obsession with the east more and more of us are not integrating antioxidant powerhouses like green tea in our diets. We’ve also see the Japanese skincare line SK-II become one of the most popular line to be introduced to the North American and European market and you even have Australian multi-award-winner Cate Blanchett as the face of the Japanese line.

Renowned Japanese Aesthetician Chizu Saeki is offering North American and European a greater insight into the Asian way of aging well with her new book: The Japanese Skincare Revolution: How to Have the Most Beautiful Skin of Your Life–At Any Age.

In her book, Chizu Saeki (who is 65) draws on over 45 years of beauty industry experience to help women around the world (thanks to this translated version of her book) to age while still maintaining beautiful skin.

This go-to beauty guide focuses simple and cost-effective techniques approach that women can use daily to improve the appearance of their skin. Chizu also gives great ideas for tweaking products you already have … this is quite a recession-proof solution since so many women already have so many products they’ve already bought. She also talks about her secret (and most important) tool for beauty … your hands!

This books is more than just lotions and potions, Chizu Saeki focuses heavily positive thinking and she encourages her readers to stop zeroing in on those spots and fine lines because that will only make matters worst.

There are a lot of women who love making their own skincare products at home, and this book is filled with DIY ideas like: a lotion mask made with cotton pads, a honey lip treatment, a shower cap steam pack and a water bottle face massage that sounds quite intriguing.

Saeki guides you along the way with surveys to help you determine what type of skin you have and tests to determine elasticity, moisture levels and the symmetry of your face.

If you don’t have a Madonna-type-beauty-budget, but you still want to look amazing as you age on a small scale budget, this book will help you with great tips.

I really like these types of books because most women don’t have access to a stylist and most women might not have the time to watch style shows like “What Not to Wear”, “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style” and “How to Look Good Naked” (I prefer the British series to the American one).

Shopping for clothing can be overwhelming and quite frankly frustrating for many women because many of us are pressed for time. Another reality for many women is the fact that their body today is not the body they had five, ten or twenty years ago. Of course, now we add the economy to the equation and you can see how shopping can become something of a sport.

But just like any sport, when it comes to shopping for clothing preparation and training are key and this is exactly where The One Hundred comes in!

nina_garcia_the_one_hundred_2

The most important place to start when it comes to fashion (in my view) is to know your style. By that I mean, there are certain fashion trends you know you feel comfortable in and others you’d rather skip all together. Now I don’t mean being stuck in a fashion rut (aka wearing baggy Juicy wear for every occasion of your life).

Personally, I know that it doesn’t matter how much six inch heels are in vogue, they won’t make it in my wardrobe because I don’t walk elegantly in anything higher than 2 ½ inches high. I can admire Gwyneth Paltrow’s newfound love for super-high heels at a distance without feeling the need to follow suit.

You also need to make sure you are dressing for your size and also for your age. When I say dressing for your age, I don’t mean wearing matronly clothing (NEVER!!!). What I mean is if you’re 45 and a size 4, it’s NOT licence for you to still be dressing from the same rack of clothing as your teenage daughter.

If you are uncertain of what would suit you best, don’t be afraid to ask for some advice from a store clerk. Although most of us are unable to hire an A-list stylist we can have access to the expertise of fashion consultants that are made available to clients at most major department stores. You can book an appointment with a style expert who will spend time helping you choose the best clothing for your body and your budget.

Before heading off to the store, you’ll want to refer to Nina Garcia’s book to know which are the MUST-HAVE fashion pieces you should focus on.

The One Hundred focuses on everything from shoes … to sweaters to coats … to handbags … to furs … to jeans … to dresses … to sportswear … to buying vintage pieces … to nighttime wear … and even to luggage.

It’s 304 pages of great tips and Nina Garcia does a great job at helping women distinguish between trends (fads) and style (which is more classic and stands the test of time).

nina_garcia_the_one_hundred_3

I should also point out the book is full of beautiful illustrations from one of my favourite fashion illustrators, Spaniard Ruben Toledo!

You’ll see … this book will sit on your coffee table or on your night stand and you’ll find yourself going back to it over and over again for style and fashion tips!

One last thing, it’s true that most of us don’t have Nina Garcia’s fashion budget or her connections to great sample sales in New York (sigh), but if you follow the advice in this book, you can head to Target (aka Tarjay in Canada) and you’ll be able to find the styles at a price that won’t make you lose any sleep at night. Here’s another tip, if you prefer higher-end fashion, you can use this book as a guide and you can save up and spend your money on pieces that will really help you get a lot of mileage.

1) Meeting Candace Bushnell author of Sex and the City

2) Revelations from Candace Bushnell author of Sex and the City

Not long ago, I was reading an interview with Candace Bushnell in the October 2008 issue of Elle magazine and until that point I had not realized how much Carrie Bradshaw’s character was a mirror image of Candace’s life. I remember during the meet and greet event where I met Candace in June, she mentioned that she actually did have a relationship with her own “Mr. Big”, but unlike Carrie Bradshaw, she didn’t end up marrying him.

I’m a huge fan of “Sex and the City”, “Sex and the City’ the movie and “Lipstick Jungle” and I will go out on a limb here and predict that One Fifth Avenue will become a series that will have women glued to their telly for that one hour of pure decadence and pleasure.

If you are a big fan of Candace or if you have a girlfriend who also enjoy her wit, One Fifth Avenue would be a great gift.

I won’t spoil it for readers who’ve not read the book yet, but I will reveal that just like her two other major hits, One Fifth Avenue takes place in the Big Apple (of course) and focuses on the residents of a historic Manhattan building after the death of a elderly socialite resident who has passed away leaving her huge and very-much-enviable New York apartment up for grabs.

The main character in this book is a coveted New York City apartment in a sense. It’s obvious that this book was written pre-real-estate-market meltdown, but I have a feeling that even in this sour economy many would line up at a chance of grabbing a deluxe apartment at this very desirable Manhattan address.

It doesn’t matter where you live in the world … every city has it’s “wow addresses” or “wow neighbourhoods”.

This book, like so many other Candace Bushnell books, is filled with likable and unlikable characters (but you still love to hate them) that make for a hilarious read — the young Lola Fabrikant, the gorgeous actress Schiffer Diamond, the reserved but intelligent character of Annalisa and the overachiever Mindy Gooch … to name a few.

Candace Bushnell is a great story-teller and this is a great read that will leave you smiling while you are reading all the juicy details of the gossips and the social happenings involving the residents of One Fifth Avenue.

My suggestion is to get the book, curl up under your favourite blanket and set your cup of coffee or tea on your coffee table and enjoy an afternoon of decadence by losing yourself in Candace Bushnell’s One Fifth Avenue!

Steve Pavlina has a very colourful and interesting past, but what’s most interesting about him is the fact that he’s put to the test most (if not all) of the personal development tips and techniques he features on his blog. I guess, he’s quite accurate in his statement when he says that:

“Personal development is hard work. If you’re looking for shallow quick fixes, you’ll need to look elsewhere.”

There is nothing shallow about Steve’s blog or about his new book.

Steve’s philosophy is not very far from some of the greatest minds in Personal Development like Napoleon Hill, Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie and Wallace D. Wattles.

What resonates the most to me about Steve’s philosophy is this statement:

“… having the maturity to take 100% responsibility for your health, your career, your finances, your relationships, your emotions, your habits, and your spiritual beliefs.”

As you know, I’ve made a conscious decision to slow down my life and take a look at priorities and remove time-suckers so that I can live a more balanced life.

Reading Steve Pavlina’s book was a logical step in my journey and since I had learnt so much from reading his blog, I saw “Personal Development for Smart People” as a go-to guide I can always keep on hand when I need a quick refresher.

Why is Personal Development for Smart People such an important book to read?

I think it’s safe to say that the month of October 2008 has been one of the most challenging, scary and darn right unsettling for most of us. I’ve said this many times to so many of my friends: “October 2008 will change a lot of people because it will really force so many of us to look at our lives and perhaps rethink a number of things”.

Some will find solace in religion, some will want to donate more of their time to helping those who have less than they do, some will take this opportunity to form a closer relationship with their kids, others will be forced to start from scratch and many of us will need to find more balance to cope with so much uncertainty.

The first part of Steve’s book focuses on 7 principles that are so timely: Truth, Love, Power, Oneness, Authority, Courage, and Intelligence.

The second part of this book feels like it was written on Monday, October 6th, 2008 (aka Black Monday) when the international stock market crashed. In this second part you find the following 7 principles: Habits, Careers, Money, Health, Relationships, and Spirituality.

Since the fundamental core of making any change in your life lies in you taking action, Steve has included a number of questions that will get you thinking about each one of the topics you are reading and how it relates to your own life.

You’ll also find a lot of exercises that will take you from reading to taking action and actually making some changes in your life.

“Personal Development for Smart People” won’t solve any of your problems unless you are ready to make a change. If you’ve gotten to the point where you need to make better decisions in your life and you need some sound advice as to how you go about making those changes, this book will surely be a great eye-opener.

Hiring a Personal Development or Life Coach is not something many of us can do, but books like Steve’s give you basic tools that you can start applying immediately in your life to help you get the type of life that you’ve always dreamed of.

In closing, I find that it’s important that you know that this is not a “get-results-quick” type of book because this deals with personal development. Your life is a journey and it will take you some time, effort and a lot of commitment to get to where you want to be and “Personal Development for Smart People” is just an arsenal in your tool box of sound tips to a richer and more prosperous life!

leg_butt_hip_thigh_exercise_make-over

The reason why so many women feel uncomfortable with that part of their body is because as you age if you don’t have a regular fitness program that you follow week in week out, your body will change and expend.

Since we lose muscle mass as we age, it’s important to keep in mind that if you’re not exercising, then chances are you’re not going to be able to have a firm and trim lower body.

That said, it really doesn’t have to be all that complicated or time consuming, but it must be done consistently.

Joey Atlas is a personal trainer who specializes in helping women target the part of their body they are most self conscience about: legs, butts, hips and thighs. He’s developed an entire course on trimming and firming the lower part of women’s body!

yeast_infection

I found the “Yeast Infection No More” course that teaches you how to permanently cure your yeast infection, eliminate candida and get back to a more balanced inner you. The course was created by Nutritionist, Health Consultant and Researcher, Linda Allen and it’s backed by over 25,000 hours of research!!!

Allen, has been researching and studying the subject of yeast infection for 7 years because she wanted to find a long lasting and holistic cure to a problem she’s been dealing with for years (in fact, she was suffering from very severe yeast infection).

If you don’t know what you are doing when it comes to curing yeast infection, you might actually be making it worse instead of making it better.

If you are a sufferer of yeast infection or candida, you’ll want to make sure you get the proper treatment because this condition can be dangerous if left untreated.

ovarian_cysts

The course “Natural Ovarian Cyst Relief Secrets” will reveal some very important ways of eliminating your ovarian cysts naturally and will also reveal a lot of the myths surrounding this condition that affects so many women.

One of the most fascinating things about this course is the fact that it actually goes into detail about the foods that you should and should not be eating if you want to control the growth of your ovarian cysts.

This is a natural approach that you can present to your doctor or naturopathic doctor and start the conversation about alternatives to helping you live cyst-free.

I included a testimonial that I found to be quite powerful:

“… This book is an absolute must for all ovarian cyst sufferers.  The natural way is so much more logical to me and works fast.  After only 11 days the pain was almost gone.  The bulge I have on my side is shrinking.  I’ve trashed all the prescription drugs I had.  How stupid was I to think conventional treatments can cure anything…using your natural system I feel like a new women.

charla_krupp_how_not_to_look_old

If you missed my review of Oprah’s show you can catch it here:

Oprah’s team of celebrity stylists show you fashion in your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s

Charla Krupps has been giving out style advice for many years and she has appeared on countless shows: The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, Dateline NBC, and Good Morning America, and she’s been a regular on The E! Channel and the Home Shopping Network.

Charla has been the beauty director at Glamour, senior editor at InStyle, and beauty editor at People: Style Watch. With such a pedigree it made total sense for her to write a style guide to help women over 40 NOT look old.

The reality is that aging can be a scary process because we live in a world that rewards youth … not turning 50!

Past a certain age a lot of women might not feel like they have any sex appeal left and this is enough for a number of women to simply stop trying and give up on their looks and themselves.

Nothing could be further from the truth, if you put in some effort into the way you look and present yourself, it will make a world of difference in the way you see yourself and the way others see you.

I quite like the way Charla puts in her book: “Between you and me, girlfriend, aging sucks. But don’t worry; we can do something about it. There are smart, fast and easy ways that will make you look ten years younger, ten pounds lighter, ten times better! Whether you can spend whatever it takes-or only the least amount possible. Here are all your To-Dos, complete with a shopping list of all the products that really deliver results-and all the places to go to get gorgeous in a city near you. Let’s get started.”

I know I’m a bit late in featuring this book since it’s been out for a while, but for some reason, I stumbled upon it again this week and thought I should really feature it because some of my readers might not have yet heard of it.

Another thing I should mention before I end this: women 35-39 will find this book to be quite useful as well because a lot of the advice is geared towards women who are stuck in a bad style rut and might not know it.  For a lot of women who have young families, style, trends and fashion and taking care of themselves falls at the bottom of the list … Charla’s Krupp’s book is a book reminder that taking care to look your best (and feeling your best) is as important as taking care of your family.

I agree with a lot of things Charla says, but we definitely don’t see eye to eye when it comes to body shapers. I know that body shapers like Spanx are very popular (it’s a multi-million dollar business) in giving the illusion of a slimmer body, but I personally thing that a healthier body weight will go a longer way in boosting self-esteem in and out of clothing.

Another thing that has always intrigued me with those body shapers was what happens if you wear a body shaper, meet a guy, get along famously with him and then after a while decide to get a bit more intimate with him. What happens when you remove the body shaper and your body no longer looks the same as it did when you were wearing clothes?
