QUESTION: My credit card bills are arriving from the holiday splurge. It all seemed like a good idea at the time of purchase, but now I’m wondering what on earth I spent my money on! What’s going on?

ANSWER: Ah…the January credit card bill blues! I’m wondering if you have similar thoughts every month when you get your credit card statement; chances are, there are many months when you look at your list of purchases and wonder “what on earth did I buy?” The answer of your discontent lies in your values.

Personal values are those attributes that we hold most near and dear to our hearts. They may include qualities like integrity and honesty, but they will often include elements such as nature, excitement, knowledge, and family. Look on-line for a comprehensive list of values – 100 or more – or you can contact me and I will send you a list. Take a first pass through the list and choose no more than 10. Let that sit for a bit. Now go through the list and narrow the list to 3 or 4. If you are having trouble narrowing it down (and most of us do ), ask yourself what would be the last thing you would give up if you had to?

A fresh, new year is as good a reason as any to revisit timeless concepts when it comes to your life and your wealth.

How are you using the resources in your life: time, energy, relationships, talents and money to fulfill your life’s aspirations? By revisiting these essentials in auld lang syne style, you can reinvigorate yourself for the year — hopefully years — ahead!

Wealth is derived from wele & weal “well-being” on analogy of health. True wealth connotes financial riches but it is also true to mean health. Wealth by ALL definitions is happiness. You may link the word “wealth” with “money.” TRUE wealth is not; repeat NOT, the accumulation of money. Part of wealth is financial abundance but true wealth is much more. Research has shown that people are generally happier when they have abundance in all areas of their life including health, family, work, community, inner growth, learning, home, and finances.

You pluck, shave and wax but your hair keeps growing back. Why not consider Laser Hair Removal? More than 800,000 people annually are now undergoing this highly successful and popular cosmetic procedure.

Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive, in-office procedure. Treatment times range from 15 minutes to several hours, depending on the size of the area(s) being treated. Low energy laser is directed at the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. This process heats up the hair shaft and permanently disables hair follicles from reproducing. Most people experience more than an 80% reduction in hair growth after three treatments to an area.And to read the rest of the article go to the Winter issue of Applaud Women at www.applaudwomen.com.

In our last issue, we continued to follow Susan on her weight loss journey with Physician’s Healthy Weight Center (PHWC) and Dr. Warren. Since the last update, Susan has made it through the toughest time of year for anyone trying to get or stay in shape – the holiday season. Even though she encountered some bumps along the way, Susan was still able to stick to her goals and continue to lose weight.

“If you’re like me, whether you were on a diet before the holidays or not, you over indulged,” says Susan. “My husband got a HUGE container full of Godiva and Ghirardelli chocolates, nuts, cookies, all kinds of temptations, so obviously I dove into that a little. Christmas Eve came with all kinds of hors d’oeuvres, and of course we had a big Christmas dinner, and then New Years rolled around. I told myself that was my last day of bad eating habits, so I thought I might as well indulge, because if I didn’t, I knew I would feel deprived. My eating was offset by some intense activity around my house. I completely redid my bedroom, and ripping up old carpet is hard work, about three days worth. So even though I didn’t eat the way I should have, I got my daily activity in, and I was still able to lose two pounds!”And to read the rest of the article go to the Winter issue of Applaud Women at www.applaudwomen.com.

Reverse the signs of aging with makeup by discovering non invasive tricks that work for celebrities and now for you. In today’s high technology world, chemists are mixing miracles in cosmetic formulas. Nature is meeting us more than half way to give these miraculous results through light reflective minerals. With the right formulas and the “Kriss signature technique” you can become your own master artist and fight the aging process successfully.

ENHANCE YOUR SKIN

Formula is key. Minerals shimmer, reflecting light and creating a special effect that diminishes the appearance of fine lines, creating a luminescent glow on the skin that speaks “radiance and youth.” The finer milled the formula the more of a ‘no makeup’, look you will get, so choosing loose formula powders are your best choice.. The minerals work to refine the look of your skin, making it appear smooth in texture. Pure formulas that are talc free will never rob moisture from the skin like traditional powders, so you will never have the look of dry wrinkly skin. Minerals blend onto the skin with a sheer perfection and when blended correctly can look almost airbrushed. Your mineral foundations will drastically improve the way the skin appears in every light, day or night. Under the flash of a camera it is incredible, under TV lights it is miraculous. The more light that reflects onto your face, the more smooth, ironed out the skin will appear. It is a true optical illusion.

Some may argue that children and etiquette no longer exist together.

{Etiquette} defined as a code of behavior that delineates expectations according to society is something that needs to continue to be taught against all odds, especially with the technical gadgets and electronics which don’t come with a written rule book.

The following is a list of new etiquette to fit in with the modern youth of today.

Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace – you might not even use it as parents, but you might want to become informed of things to watch for to protect your children and teach them respect for others.
