FASHION
Update Your Look–Tips from a Fashion Coach (for women

have to look “dowdy”.
On the other hand, you do not want to look
like a teenager. Styles have really changed. Discover how
to incorporate a few of the
new looks to look good on you, no matter what
your body type. Achieve those looks, and do it with a budget
in mind.

of the Institute
for
Lifework,
a non-profit group, dedicated to re-inventing
aging for Boomers. She believes this age
group “is where it’s
all happening.”

HAPPY
Happiness – Can You Improve Yours?
—Adrienne Hynes
Have you noticed all the articles on Happiness? A few years ago,
Time Magazine featured a story with several articles using research
from universities.
In January, 2008, the TV program 20/20 devoted the full hour on the topic.
A long
awaited book was just published: the “How of Happiness A Scientific Approach
to Getting the Life You Want” by author, Sonja Lyubomirsky a research
psychologist at the University of California. The book summarizes lengthy research
of her work which finds that happiness is:
- 50% pre-determined
- 10% circumstantial
- 40% up to us
Using simple techniques, you can change that 40%. Discuss tips
to improve your happiness, based on this and other research not
based on “pop” psychology.
