One of the most common complaints I hear from my clients is in regards to their eyes. Often they have heard from others that they look sick or tired, even when they are feeling well and rested. As we age, we discover that one of the most noticeable changes to our appearance involves the eye area.

The desire to lose weight must come from the individual. If you’re truly ambivalent about making changes in your lifestyle or are doing this to please someone else, you’re likely to fail. When making changes, decide what’s right for your lifestyle. Your best friend’s diet and exercise plan may be completely wrong for your habits and interests.

But, thanks to Facebook, we all recently reconnected. One former classmate has been brave enough to plan a reunion in NYC. So, on August 19, I’ll be meeting my old high school friends for drinks. Now, I’m not sure how all of your former female classmates look on Facebook, but […]

Have you uttered those words? As Nora Ephron has written, many people of a certain age begin to have a love/hate relationship with certain body parts.
