In recent years, I’d have to say that Bazaar has become my favourite fashion magazine. I’ve always loved their approach and they were the first to start featuring style tips for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!
It’s not as sexy for most commercial outlets to feature women over 35 because so much is geared towards teenagers and young adults, but at the end of the day, the cash tills at most stores are ringing because women over 35 can afford more expensive fashion, accessories and skincare products.

Steve Pavlina reveals the secrets to Personal Development for Smart People
I’ve been reading Steve Pavlina’s blog for a few months now because a number of other business and copywriting bloggers kept referring back to him. I’ll be honest, until Steve’s name kept popping up as an example of a blogger who was not afraid of writing essay length posts and in return was getting something like 2 million visitors per month, I had no idea who he was, but that kind of pedigree was compelling enough for me to want to know more about this trail blazer.
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.”

My Interview with THE Hermes Birkin Bag Expert
Those French women have it so easy with all those fabulous designer brands. If you’ve ever been to France you’ll notice that French women don’t dress the same way most North Americans dress. In France it’s about quality instead of quantity and when a French woman finds an item she loves and that fits properly … she won’t hesitate to buy it in every colour!
Another thing you’ll notice about French women is their love of exquisite accessories. The French bring attention to details like no other country. The artisans in France are still regarded as men and women who possess an exceptional talent.
I was quite sadden to find out that many artisans’ careers (in Europe at large) had fizzled and had been exported to China where savoir faire (know-how) was replaced by mass production. From conversations with insiders I found out that many brands were partially assembled in China and then returned to Europe to be finished and to be “stamped” made in Europe. One company that is still using a long traditional of artisans is Hermes.
Hermes is one of France’s most prestigious, luxurious and expensive brands and it’s also one of the brands that’s the most coveted by Hollywood celebrities and the rich and famous on the planet.
Le carré de soie (silk scarf) is the entry point at Hermes retailing usually at about $295-$400 (depending which country you buy it in). That said, THE item that cannot seem to remain on the shelves for very long it the Birkin handbag.

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan
“. . . we’re eating a whole lot more, at least 300 more calories a day than we consumed in 1985. What kind of calories? Nearly a quarter of these additional calories come from added sugars (and most of that in the form of high-fructose corn syrup); roughly another quarter from added fat . . .” - Michael Pollan
I’ve written a number of posts in the past about my views about food. If grocery shopping was an Olympic sport, I would represent my country well because there is no greater love (and joy) than discovering new foods at my local markets, grocery shops or natural health food shops.

Most women cannot stand the sight of their legs, butts, hips and thighs
It’s safe to say that if you were to ask any woman in any country on this planet which parts of her body she dislikes the most, I’m almost 100% certain that she’ll tell you that she doesn’t feel all that comfortable with their legs, butts, hips and thighs.
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.

Yeast infections are no laughing matter
As a woman, you know how irritating yeast infection can be. It’s an unpleasant condition that most of us would happily do without. There are many creams that you can get from your local drugstore to cure yeast infections, but what are you supposed to do if you want to cure your yeast infection naturally?
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).

In fact, every doctor she spoke to told her the same thing: “you need surgery (period)”.
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.
