Lifestyle Lift ....my thoughts!

I am interested in seeing what might be good stuff for those of us that sag, wrinkle and leak from over use. As we grow older we tend to find that more maintenance is required to keep us working. Beauty treatments take up our time and beauty products and treatment promise miracles. Sigh!

I for one am only a beginner at eyebrow waxes and pedicures. Both of these ~~procedure~~ spa treatments have become necessary because my glasses don't work like they should. The need for a pedicure may also have something to do with my need to check and see if there is anything else I need to do while I am bent over to tie my shoes. It is hard to bend over anymore. These are both pretty harmless and inexpensive luxuries considering what "miracles" doctors are claiming to perform these days. If you have enough money the sky is the limit.

So when I saw a website with a review on a "Lifestyle Lift" I was very interested. A very old, wrinkled and used up woman looked like an absolutely new woman...and only after one hour!!! Doesn't that sound just too good to be true? Cathy Walden at Beauty Reports had some thoughts on whether it was a good product. When I looked further, I found several blogs with more information on the cost and results. One post in particular from a woman in Illinois voiced a Lifestyle Lift customer's dissatisfies. Words like "pain" and "don't do it" just jumped out at me from the page. You can find her review at RealSelf.com.

The official website for Lifestyle Lifts claims to have been mentioned on every major TV channel. I still am very skeptical but you can judge for yourself. Lifestyle Lift-Home Page has a phone number you can call. If you decided this is for you or have already had the lift done, we would love to hear from you.

My mother always said that getting old was hard work and I am seeing how very wise she was. However, it seems to me that taking care of ourselves and aging with grace is far better than looking 15 year younger. In the Elizabeth Strout's book Olive Kitteridge one of the character meets an old friend that has had "her eyes done". All Strout's character could think was how scary an old woman looks with 16 year old eyes. We are what we are...there is no changing somethings. Even a Lifestyle Lift can't roll back the calendar! As for me, I don't want to look scary!

Five Little Ducks...stories played out!

The children's song about the little ducks leaving the nest to fly away has always been one of my favorites. Every mother has seen their babies fly away and rejoiced. Life comes full circle. Animals live that same cycle. Babies grow up. Birds leave the nest. Life goes on. So when the three ducks show up every year near my patio I am not surprised. But I am puzzled that it always seems to be the same three. Something just doesn't seem right. It appears the one did not fly away at all. Five little ducks Went out to play Over the hills and far away. The mommy duck went "quack, quack quack," Four little ducks came swimming back... And then Three Two and One. A drake, a female duck (a hen) and a not quite a drake but still not a hen gather here on the 5th green of the golf course. She leads and the other two follow along obediently. They eat, sleep, and guard each other. Each and every day this time of year they come. I have not named them. Jinxing them would be very pos...

How to be a Snowbird in 2024

Early years in RV resort! Our motor home is parked next to our first Park Model When it begins to cool in the evenings and the geese fly in formation, my mind turns to Arizona. Yearning for the desert air and vibrant blue sky is compel me to fly away. I do it every year and will as long as I am allowed. Townhome near Tucson's Pantano Wash and bike trail. We started this way of life when we retired. First with a fifth-wheel trailer, later with a motor home, and finally in something permanent that evolved over the years. First, it was a park model in an RV Resort, then a townhouse close to walking trails, and finally into a home on a small golf course. Congress Hotel from window of near by hotel. Each time we moved, we upscaled and increased our monetary wealth. That is the way our mind works. It is as though we couldn't just have fun without working a lot. We painted and planted flowers and haunted thrift stores to find just the right furniture. We were always hav...

How to be a 12 Month Snow Bird

Vacation Rental in Mexico I live around snowbirds 6 months of the year. I have heard those people say that they all want to live the "snowbird" lifestyle when they go home. But it just is not possible. They are isolated and cold. Social activities with friends and beautiful weather are greatly missed when they return to the realities of their "real" life. One couple I visited with lately returned to Florida this morning where they own a home. The woman is a nurse and works in the summer. They are not going home until May this year. It is too cold in Michigan in the spring so they are hoping to extend their good weather season by simply staying away. Besides that they love their Florida lifestyle a lot. Last week I visited with a woman that lives the snowbird lifestyle year around. No going home to the Midwest in the spring. They essentially vacation 12 month out of the year. And I thought their solution for avoiding unpleasant weather and keeping their lifestyle in...
