Yesterday I had a long conversation with an individual conducting research on the job prospects for "mature" workers, which is code for people over 50. We covered a lot of territory and I thought that a few of the key points were worthy of a post on LifeTwo. »more»

The anti-aging industry is a $56 billion business and that number is expected to rise to $72 billion by 2009, according to the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Have you ever googled "anti-aging?" You get 16,600,000 results! There are thousands of products on the market - some of which work and some that don't - for combatting wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin and all the unsightly tell-tale signs of aging. There are innovative procedures such as injections for just about every body part - lips, nasolabial folds, crow's feet, neck, hands - even feet. There are surgeries to correct just about any flaw you can think up.
I am not against opting for procedures that can safely make me look and feel younger, but I just thought I'd remind you that there are plenty of things you can do to start Aging Backwards that won't cost an arm and a leg. In fact, they're free. »more»

But is important that you can easily slip into each other’s activities, gracefully converse with the other’s counterparts and dress appropriately for the occasion. »more»

Dear Oprah
How are you? I am fine. Well, all except for that little mishap at the grocery store yesterday. I suppose I shouldn't have had the second cup of coffee before I left to buy milk but who knew something as innocent as a little sneeze could cause that to happen! You would have known how to handle it - or should I say, hold it - Oprah. »more»

I hate the van.
My husband made me buy it. "It's so practical," he enthused. "We can haul the kids, the dog, the groceries. Think how great it will be to have all that space." »more»

Wearing a wig is a fast and fun way to change your look for the evening or anytime you want. You don't have to be suffering hair loss to wear a wig. Wearing a wig can be a quick and beautiful way to be "fashion-ready" when you don't have time to wash, dry and style your hair. They can also be just plain fun and allow you the freedom to "be someone else" temporarily. »more»

When in Singapore in January, I learned about a Chinese legend that is supposed to help you attract love. It’s pretty simple.
In Chinatown, a friend pointed out two Mandarin duck figurines. She said if you put these little statues in your bedroom so they faced each other bill-to-bill, they would attract love to you.
