FIGURE FLATTERY 101

FIGURE FLATTERY 101:  FROM 'IN STYLE' SECRETS OF STYLE:  THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO DRESSING YOUR BEST EVERY DAY

~   Dressing with style involves more than just wearing what you like.  It takes strategy.  By using your clothing's fit, fabric, color, details, pattern, and proportions to lenthen, slim, and direct attention to exactly where you want it (and away from the places you don't), you'll be able to create a look that is both flattering and in keeping with your personality.

LONGER NAILS CAN BE A BIT AGING

LONGER NAILS:  BY DAYLE HADDON FROM 'AGELESS BEAUTY'

~  Longer nails can be a bit aging, although some women have made them a trademark.  They tell me that they feel more feminine with longer nails.  For nail length, I personally prefer a natural shape, kept fairly short.  In our forties and up, we want a natural-colored, simple, clean look to the nails --- one that looks great and works with our lifestyle.  (But that doesn't mean that we can't break out the red nails when we're in the mood.)

ONE WHO LOVES TRULY CAN NEVER LOSE ENTIRELY

ONE WHO LOVES TRULY CAN NEVER LOSE ENTIRELY:  BY NAPOLEON HILL


~  Memories of love never pass.  They linger, guide, and influence long after the source of stimulation had faded.  There is nothing new in this.  Every person who has been moved by gennuine love knows that it leaves enduring traces upon the human heart.  The effect of love endures, because love is spiritual in nature.  The man who cannot be stimulated to great heights of achievement by love, is hopeless---he is dead, though he may seem to live.

THE POWER OF TOUCH

THE POWER OF TOUCH:  BY DAYLE HADDON FROM 'AGELESS BEAUTY'

~  I'm a firm believer in the power of touch.  I once read that we need nine hugs a day to have a sense of well-being.  Well, trust me, I'm working on it!  A hug from the right person is totally relaxing and reassuring, creating a feeling of love and acceptance.  Massage, of course, has a similar effect; not only does it help melt the body's stresses and tensions away, but it also represents a simple extended human contact --- which we all crave.  What's more, massage "keeps it all moving."

GOOD SKIN ADVICE

GOOD SKIN ADVICE:  FROM DAYLE HADDON

~  SKIN IS MOSTLY WATER.  We are mostly water, and we need to drink a lot of it to keep the body hydrated.  Six or seven glasses a day is a great prescription.  Dehydration can come on surprisingly quickly, so when you're feeling slow or sluggish, or if you sense a headache coming on, simply drinking a glass of water can yield instant benefits.  And skin that's well-moisturized from within looks healthy and glowing on the outside.

KEANU REEVES ON LOVE AND KISS

ON LOVE...
~  It's fun to be hopelessly in love.  It's dangerous, but it's fun.
~  I believe in love at first sight.  You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
~  When the people you love are gone, you're alone.

ON KISSING...
~  Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.

BODY CARE ADVICE BY DALE HADDON

BODY CARE ADVICE BY DALE HADDON FROM 'AGELESS BEAUTY'

~  It's about time to realize that a great body is a healthy body.  I believe that taking care of our bodies --- inside and out --- is a must for every woman, a reflection of how good we feel about ourselves.  Yes, bodies change over the years.  Gravity, calories, and a busy lifestyle take their toll.  So at midlife, a great body isn't about aiming for perfection:  it's about understanding our bodies, learning to love what we can't fix --- and fixing what we can.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND ON MEN & WOMEN, AND SENSE OF HUMOR

KIEFER SUTHERLAND (JACK BAUER OF '24') ON MEN & WOMEN, AND SENSE OF HUMOR

ON MEN & WOMEN...
~  I think that the day you've figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you've no longer attracted to women.  It's the difference that is so fantastic, frustrating, angering, and really sexy.

ON SENSE OF HUMOR...
~  I think the most attractive thing is a sense of humor.  If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way.

OPRAH WINFREY'S  PHILOSOPHY ON LIFE

~  Do the one thing you think you cannot do.  Fail at it.  Try again.  Do better the second time.  The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.  This is your moment.  Own it!
~  My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
~  The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
~  The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
