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.
