40 is the new 30, right? Well it can be if you play your cards right! By age 40, collagen loss has kicked into high gear and leads to skin laxity and volume loss in the mid face, which leads to nasolabial folds, marionette lines and jowls.

Hello 30’s and hello ghost of sun damage past! The 30’s is when the sun damage you’ve acquired over your lifetime starts to surface.

“40 is the old age of youth, 50 is the youth of old age.” So in other words when you turn 50, you’re young again! If polled however, the majority of women in their 50s and beyond would not claim to feel young. This is related to an imbalance of hormones. The
inevitable part of being a woman is that we are all going to go through menopause at some point. Some experience it much earlier than others, and some women can experience peri-menopausal symptoms up to 15 years before menopause (not fair I know!). The two biggest complaints during this time are “I just don’t feel like myself” and “I’ve never had a weight problem but now I have belly fat that will not go away no matter what I do.” Hormonal imbalance also accelerates the aging process and leads to skin and hair changes. Many women believe that because this is an inevitable part of life that they just have to deal with the negative side effects of menopause but you don’t have to. We are proud to be able to help combat your menopausal side effects, slow the aging process, and help you
I hope this has helped simplify the anti-aging world and that when you find yourself singing “forever young, I want to be forever young” over in over again in your head that it helps you remember these tips. It’s never too early or too late to feel fabulous about yourself and to look younger and I’d love to help you do that. I offer complimentary consultations on all the services I provide and would love to help you come up with a customized anti-aging plan. Until next time…keep your sunscreen on, your collagen stimulated, your skin exfoliated and visit your favorite anti-aging professional regularly… (that’s us!)

“Get your
hopes up!
Expect something good to happen to you every day.”
– Joyce Meyer
So why IS it ridiculous to avoid getting our hopes up? Besides the fact that it’s unnatural to quash our hopes and dreams and besides the fact that it keeps our vibration low, it’s all fear-based. It’s based on some crazy fear that if we don’t get what we’re hoping for, we’ll end up feeling disappointed. But I ask you, is disappointment really too much to bear? Isn’t disappointment a part of life that most of us learned by age 5 is survivable? Here’s the most significant thing. To refuse to get our hopes up is to ignore the Law of Attraction. Because hope is a high vibration. Because the power of hope and positive expectation actually help us attract what we want. Because hope works for us, not against us! “If you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?” – from the movie, South Pacific
“Don’t Get Your Hopes Up!” We’ve heard that advice all our lives. Family, friends, books and movies have all warned us not to get our hopes up. It’s part of our popular culture. You may even say it yourself, but did you ever think about what you’re saying? Don’t Get Your Hopes Up is possibly the worst guidance ever. It’s advising us not to hope and not to have desires – which can only result in a low vibration. Like most people, I absorbed this teaching by osmosis. I also remember when I said it for the last time. I was in my 20’s and I was telling my brother about a job I really wanted, adding that I’m not getting my hopes up about it. Whereupon my older, wiser brother – who had by that time studied Eastern philosophy in India – pointed out how stupid I was being – as only a sibling can! He went on to explain why not getting my hopes up is ridiculous. Thank you, dear bro, for waking me up.
Plus, I hasten to add, hope feels good! Refusing to be hopeful is a missed opportunity to feel good. And, since we know that feeling good is the best way to attract what we want, refusing to hope is like shooting yourself in the foot. If you don’t get what you want, you’ll live; you’ll grow; you’ll get greater clarity; something better will come along. But if you continue suppressing your hope, you won’t live well. And one more thing. Refusing to get our hopes up does not guarantee we’ll avoid disappointment. In fact, refusing to hope sets us up for disappointment. Two questions: Do you want it? Will you allow yourself to have it? If yes and yes, then absolutely do get your hopes up. Get them up as high as possible. Ride the high vibrational energy of positive expectation and enjoy the journey. If it doesn’t happen, so what? Focus on the next desire with all the hope you can muster. And keep hope alive!
