Write your Memoir–Women over 45–2010 1st quarter Book Review

[ 0 ] March 31, 2010

The Soul of Telling Your Story

Chief Blonde Remarks: Did you ever try to organize your photos online or even in photo albums? Did you struggle with what organizational approach to take when laying out the pictures of your life? Chronologically? By event? By person? And what do you throw out and what do you keep? Should you scrapbook the pictures or just put them in order in a photo album or just throw them in a box and walk away? Well that’s exactly what it is like to write your memoirs but a whole lot harder. If you really have a story to tell, Write Your Memoirs will help you get there and make the later reading of that writing pleasurable for yourself and your readers!

The Publisher says:

Of all forms of writing, the memoir is perhaps most personal. In Write Your Memoir, The Soul Work of Telling Your Story, literary professor and author Dr. Allan Hunter, demonstrates a compassionate understanding of the writing process. The book is intended to assist, educate and inspire those who wish to write their memoirs. For over 30 year, Dr. Hunter has guided hundreds of people who wished to tell their stories to an honest exploration of their lives and in this manual he lays out how to do it. Anyone, who picks up this book, learns within the first few pages that Hunter cares about writers, understands the process and knows how to encourage and create honest and genuine results.

Dr. Hunter’s approach is an unusual one in that he advocates something he calls ‘soul work’, a psychic process that involves exploring the inner experience of the writer. Hunter shows that writing one’s memoir can move the writer to a different relationship with him or herself and their past. The book offers exercises and resources to clarify those experiences thereby resulting in a richer story, a more fully realized memoir and a profoundly changed writer. This is Dr. Hunter’s fifth book and as always his clear style is filled with humor, insight and sensitivity.

The Art of Overeating–Women over 45–2010 1st quarter Book Review

[ 0 ] March 31, 2010

A Bellyful of Laughs about our Food-Phobic Culture

The Art of Overeating is a satire on our diet-obsessed culture released by psychotherapist Leslie Landis who believes humor is a better way to deal with eating issues than shaming someone. Her husband, Martin, is a world-class overeater and has lost 25 lbs. since the launch of her book at Barnes & Noble. He didn’t want
to be the poster boy for overeating! It is a beautifully illustrated hardback and sells for $9.95 For more info, visit; www.TheArtofOvereating.com or purchase at amazon.com.

The video below gives you the author’s tongue in cheek intro to the book!

Chief Blonde says: The pictures and remarks in the Art of Overeating by Leslie Landis combine for hilarity! “Always stand by the kitchen door so you can grab the whole tray of hors d’oeuveres before the server gets to the other guests. Insist that you are taking care of a special group of elderly or infirm people.” or “Overeating is a noble and unselfish act. As you put away gargantuan amounts of food, those sharing the meal with you will be so put off by your example that they will order less, eat less and pass on dessert.” It’s the ridiculousness of it all that makes you realize the true obsession that we have in this culture with food. A perfect perfect gift for a woman over 45 who would much rather not struggle with the “food” issue everyday!

The Chief Blonde remarks: Oh, this book is jammed with yummy recipes. Pictures galore! So very healthy and tasty! I made the Garden Vegetable Soup with Pistou!!! Oh my goodness. It was beyond yum! Really! Take a look at picture below, the video of me making the soup and final–the recipe! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COOKBOOK!

Garden Vegetable Soup with Pistou

Made from basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, pistou is stirred into soups, stews, and pastas to add aromatic flavor and color. Ordinarily, that savory burst comes from a large amount of olive oil and cheese, but my version uses no oil and just a bit of Parmesan. The trick is to puree the pistou ingredients with some of the hot soup and then stir this mixture back into the soup. This method gives the soup the extra body and robust flavor of classic pistou without the added fat. Serves 8

1 cup dried flageolet, great northern, or cannellini beans

6 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock (pages 268 and 269) or store-bought low-sodium broth

1 bay leaf

1 medium carrot, diced (1/2 cup)

2 celery ribs, diced (1 cup)

1 medium zucchini, diced (1 cup)

4 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (1 cup)

1/2 small leek, thinly sliced (1 cup)

1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

1 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons tomato paste

1/2 cup sliced scallions (white and green parts)

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1/2 large ripe red tomato, seeded and diced (1/2 cup)

Rinse the beans in cold water and pick over them, discarding any stones or debris. Place them in a large bowl and pour in enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let stand overnight.

– Drain the beans, discarding the water. Transfer the beans to a medium saucepan and add the stock and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer gently, partially covered, until the beans are tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

– Stir in the carrot, celery, zucchini, green beans, leek, salt, and pepper and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

–Combine the basil, parsley, Parmesan, tomato paste, scallions, and garlic in a blender. Add 2 cups of the hot broth to the blender and process for 20 seconds, until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Pour the blended mixture into the soup and stir to combine. Stir in the diced tomato. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and serve hot.

From Fat to Fit–Women over 45–2010 1st quarter Book Review

One-Step Easter Eating Plan: Let Your Fork Do the Heavy Lifting

Don’t want to be the FAT bunny this Easter?

If you’re committed to hosting the Easter Egg Hunt, you will face a never-ending array of tempting food choices. If you’re not careful, the pounds you add are likely to become lifelong companions.

Some of us are very strict about our diets. We bring our own food in a plastic container and eat it while others enjoy the holiday fare. Others of us are perhaps a little too self-indulgent, denying ourselves nothing.

Carole Carson—dubbed “An Apostle for Fitness” by the Wall Street Journal—is the coach for the AARP Fat 2 Fit online community and the author of From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction. Carole offers one simple step you can take at parties that will help you minimize your caloric intake:

Eat nothing except what you can put on a fork.

In other words, eat foods only where you can sit down and use utensils, including your fork.

The calories in those bite-size nibbles and finger foods you eat unconsciously while standing and talking with friends and acquaintances quickly add up. You can easily consume 600–800 calories solely from appetizers. The same holds true when you are preparing food for your own party. The little nibbles you take to “test” your appetizers count, as far as your body is concerned.

By limiting yourself to food eaten with a fork, you can minimize the accumulation of unwanted pounds during the holidays. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful weigh to start having fun this spring?

The Chief Blonde Says:

From Fat to Fit:Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction by Carole Carson is a FUN read. You can’t say that very often about a diet book. Written by a 60-something dynamo, Carole describes how she took her 5′ 1″ frame from 182 to 120 going from a size 18 to a size 6. Then she went on to inspire a whole town to shape up losing 4 tons in the process. Doesn’t sound like your average diet book, right? The difference I see here is that it is the story of a personal journey versus an expert advising from afar. She details all her funny stories along the way. Carole is so inspirational she now teaches her approaches and has appeared on the NBC Today Show, CBS’s Early Show, MSNBC’s Countdown.

Carole Carson, as a weapon of Mass Reduction AND a Woman over 45 (like we are) is truly an inspiration! Keep up the great work Carole. www.fromfat2fit.com.

8 Steps to a Pain Free Back–Women over 45–2010 1st quarter Book Review

[ 0 ] March 28, 2010

REMEMBER WHEN IT DIDN’T HURT?

“The Greatest Contribuiton ever made to non-surgical back pain treatment.” Helen Barkin, M.D., Ph.D. Neurology, Mayo Clinic. Well, that quote was enough to catch my attention about 8 Steps to a Pain Free Back by Esther Gokhale! My husband has had a bad back for most of his adult life. Maybe the fact that he is 6′ 6″ tall, lean, and a basketball player has something to do with it–nevertheless–his pain is chronic and NEVER leaves. I have great hopes for this book and the material inside. I found this book loaded with facts, pictures, and ancient wisdom. It is an oversized paperback printed on substantial paper. Does it work, does it help? Well only you and your back can be a testament to that. As someone who does not suffer from back pain, I can only say that with the commen sense recommendations about posture, proper exercise, and movements–coupled with a plethora of experts who recommend the book HIGHLY–why wouldn’t you try this approach before surgery or anything more radical? I think for Women over 45 (and their spouses), you simply cannot go wrong reading this book and trying Esther Gokhale’s 8 Steps to a Pain-free Back.

What the Publisher Says:

RETHINKING EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT POSTURE

Americans are ten times more likely to have back pain than people from traditional societies around the world. In Chad, the incidence of back pain is only five percent, while in the United States, 85 percent of the population will suffer from back pain in their lifetime. Doctors and experts from industrialized societies blame everything from our sedentary lives, age and stress, to bodies that are not evolved to stand upright. After a lifetime of research in anatomy and alternative medicine, as well as anthropological study in parts of the world where back pain is rare, pain specialist and author Esther Gokhale has found that the answer is much more basic.

In 8 STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE BACK (Pendo Press; April 2008; $24.95), Gokhale uses historical and scientific facts to show that most of what our culture has taught us about posture, including what most doctors recommend, is misguided and even damaging.

In many cultures, people still have knowledge of natural posture and movement that prevents pain and enhances health. Both manual laborers and sedentary workers from remote Burkina Faso, villages in Brazil, and rural Portugal have not forgotten how to sit, stand, walk and sleep in harmony with their bodies’ design. As a result, they do not suffer from back pain. Inspired by their techniques, Gokhale has created a method of posture re-education that has guided thousands of her clients away from back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and other musculoskeletal ailments. Through her richly illustrated, step-by-step guide, she makes her method available to a wider audience.

IN 8 STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE BACK READERS CAN:

Learn how to keep the back pain-free without time-consuming exercises, changes in working style and daily routine, equipment, medication or surgery.

Transform everyday activities, such as sitting, standing, walking and bending into comfortable movements that can also protect bones and joints, and maximize the ability of muscles, arteries, veins and nerves to keep the body healthy and pain-free.

Discover the power of stretchsitting and stretchlying, two revolutionary techniques that will decompress the spine, improve circulation and breathing, relax muscles and reduce stress while working at the computer, watching TV and sleeping through the night.

Forget what you thought you knew about good posture. Never tense your muscles to “sit up straight” again. Return to the natural, healthy posture used by athletes and shared by children and people from traditional societies the world over.

A valuable resource, 8 STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE BACK offers breakthrough techniques for pain-free living.

Fashion Mistakes–Women over 45–2010 1st quarter Book Review

[ 0 ] March 22, 2010

3 Terrible Too’s that will Derail a Women’s Career.

Any of 3 fashion mistakes will derail a woman’s career faster than outing the boss’ new hairpiece, yet every office in America has these career-challenged fashion victims and someone should let them know it’s the number one roadblock to career success for women. Maggie Jessup, a personal branding expert and author of the new book Fame 101 (Sutton Hart Press 2010) does just that in her new book.

Every office in America has one or more women with the Terrible Too’s:

Too much style – They think insanely expensive, a big logo, and the latest New York fashion is right for a middle manager in Phoenix.

Some women in business believe that because they spend insane amounts to wear the latest styles from New York their career look just couldn’t be better. They’re wearing the Rolls Royce of outfits and if anyone doubts how great they look they must be mistaken because these are “this year’s colors” or “how they’re wearing slacks in New York” and after all, “they’re Jimmy Choos”. Unfortunately many of these styles only look good if you’re an underweight 6 foot 19 year old and very few women in business fall into this category. The style rule you must follow to look great and have presence is to make wardrobe decisions based on what looks good on you; with what’s in style only a secondary consideration.

Too young – A fifty year old insurance exec shouldn’t shop at Forever 21; no one will take her seriously!

This wardrobe trap can snare even the smartest of women in business and it is deadly for a career. A simple example will make the point. If you are a forty five year old office manager, don’t shop at Forever 21. For some reason a surprising number of women believe they can take off 10 years by dressing 20 years younger; when actually the opposite is true. It may be fun but you will never achieve the look you’ll need to be a leader in your field. The people who could put your career on the fast track won’t take you seriously. This is about appropriateness; dress just right for your age.

Too bad hair – A home perm, budget dye, and $20 cut will block the route to a corner office every time; moonlight if you must to afford the best appropriate cut.

We live in a hair-obsessed society; yours must be great or at least really good. Have you ever had someone look at your new cut or style and say “Ouch, that’s too bad?” Likely not, because even your best friend will lie to you about this career-builder or career-killer for women in business. So what can you do to get that great look? Follow a few simple rules: Never do a home perm, under no circumstances have your best friend dye your hair, if you have the same cut you had in high school it is wrong, and work nights at the Dairy Queen if you must so that you can afford a quality style, cut, and color.

6000 Women/day enter Menopause! Women over 45!

[ 0 ] March 21, 2010

Menopause–The time when a woman’s ovaries stops producing eggs and menstruation ceases!

By the end of the day 6,000 American women will have entered menopause – the time when a woman’s ovaries stop producing eggs and the body produces less and less estrogen and progesterone until menstruation ceases, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years.

That number is steadily rising as our population ages, making it more important than ever to educate women about the symptoms associated with menopause, their underlying causes, and what can be done to ease the discomfort of hot flashes, insomnia, heart palpitations, mood swings, and the absence of their sex drive.

“Although there’s still a great deal to be learned about why the declining levels of hormones wreak such havoc on a woman’s body, we know for sure that it impacts everything from their blood vessels to their brain,” Janet Humphrey, founder and director of New York City’s Giving Nature Center says. “Still, the onset of symptoms is often gradual, and most women are fully engulfed by menopause before they even understand that their symptoms are all related. For this reason, many women feel blindsided by menopause and have a terrible time navigating the available treatment options on their own.”

According to gynecologist, Michael Abrahams M.D., FACOG, FACS women need to know their options and understand their inner workings. Women as young as in their 30s can benefit by having their hormone levels tested.

“Our culture largely views menopause as a disease to be treated, when in reality it’s a natural part of a woman’s life that marks a new beginning. With any patient in the age of menopause or perimenopause, the priority is to determine where the imbalances lie,” he explains.

There is no “one-size fits all” way to address menopause.

Beauty Bad Deals–What works and Doesn’t– Women over 45!

[ 0 ] March 19, 2010

Shop Smart helps us to Decide what Beauty Deals to Avoid

The chief Blogger received a review sample of this Magazine and was quite impressed. Here’s a sampling of their honest advice. I was glad to read it–there was some items that I had been considering buying–but won’t now!

Frizzy hair, skinny lips, skimpy lashes, lumpy thighs – for every dilemma, there’s a product that’s claimed to solve it. But many don’t, and lots of us have been suckered into buying stuff that doesn’t work. The March 2010 issue of ShopSmart, from the publishers of Consumer Reports, gives us the lowdown on bad beauty deals:

Lash Growers

Lash growers are regulated by the FDA as drugs. (Latisse is FDA approved, but ShopSmart doesn’t recommend it because of risks.) You’ll still see plenty of other “lash lengtheners” on the market though. Some have been issued warning letters by the FDA because they contain drugs.

ShopSmart says Stick with mascara. Lancôme Définicils, $24, was top-rated in their last test.

Hair Smoothers

Ads for Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT), a popular salon technique, claim that it leaves hair smooth and healthy-looking for months. But a main ingredient in BKT is formaldehyde, a probable carcinogen that is not banned by the FDA in hair straighteners.

ShopSmart says Try a straightening iron. They like Revlon Perfect Heat Ceramic RVST2001C, $30.

Lip Plumpers

The results for lip plumpers were unimpressive for increasing lip volume, though some, including products from Clinique and DuWop, temporarily smoothed lip lines a little.

ShopSmart says Try makeup tricks instead. Line your lips with pencil just outside your natural lip line, then dot highlighter just above the upper lip and just below the lower lip. If you want a more permanent pout, see a cosmetic surgeon for temporary injections.

Scar Eliminators

No product can completely eliminate a scar or stretch marks.

ShopSmart says See a dermatologist. Certain laser treatments can reduce redness and smooth skin so scars are less noticeable.

Bust Boosters

There are no ingredients that have been scientifically proven to enhance or firm the bust.

ShopSmart says Use a moisturizer or bust cream if your décolletage needs softening. Or try a push-up bra or bra inserts, aka “chicken cutlets.”

Under-Eye-Circle Erasers

Many products promise to erase under-eye circle, but they’re hard to treat due to enlarged veins and very thin skin under the eyes.

ShopSmart says Some eye creams with caffeine can offer temporary help for puffiness. If the problem is allergy-related, try antihistamines or topical hydrocortisone cream. You can also see your dermatologist for cosmetic surgery.

Double-Chin Slimmer

A $20 infomercial gadget called the Neckline Slimmer promises to eliminate a double chin with resistance exercise, but the device mainly exercises neck-flexor muscles that have nothing to do with a double chin.

ShopSmart says Try losing some weight or see a cosmetic surgeon. A scarf might also do the trick.
