How much of the beauty industry is science and how much is wishful thinking on the part of the buyer? Well, one thing for sure is that women have gotten a lot smarter. Women today, not only want to know if a skincare product works, but how and why it works.

If it seems like life is passing you by, it is likely because you have stopped moving.

How we age and who we become as we age has a lot to do with how we handle the events of our lives; both the good and the bad. There is one universal life situation that if we live long- enough we will all experience in some form…and that is grief.

We are often our own worst enemy sometimes we hold our selves back from dreams and accomplishments by our own thoughts and self-doubt. Fear of failure, perfectionism, or a critical inner voice can all prevent us from taking action. Even if you are taking action fear and anxiety can keep you from being and doing your best. You may have coping mechanisms that hinder your progress. Fear of changing can make you hesitant to pursue new options and opportunities.

Let’s face it there are a million things we are told to do to stay healthy and age well. It is almost a full-time job that can be exhausting. Eat this, don’t eat that, exercise, meditate to calm your brain, do puzzles to stimulate your brain. We all want to do the right things but when those things keep changing, according to the latest study, it can feel like just too much.

I think that one of the reasons Aging has such a negative connotation in our society is that, although we think about the negatives, we don’t talk about them. No matter how positive our attitudes, we all still have thoughts about aging that are not always positive; instead, they are often scary and sad. If I had to guess what bothers us the most about aging, I would have to say it’s probably loss.
