Genes not the only indicator to long life
Researchers say only about 25% to 30% of aging is gene-related. The rest is decided by how we choose to live. You have one life…live it well.
Eat Pray Love Trailer
I was in the middle of writing a blog post about Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert, when my friend sent me this (see below.) Great timing. I’ll be posting more on this book (because it’s one of my favorite books of all time!) I’m so excited to see Julia Roberts as Liz in this movie.

Ways To Keep It Hot
photo: Eddie Cibrian (for inspirational purposes) and in honor of his 36th birthday today, and this “keep it hot” blog post.)
If your romantic relationship has outlived its honeymoon period, you have to take steps to keep it spicy. It’s not as if it’s an agonizing chore that you have to keep up with day in and day out, making it feel more like mundane routine than pleasure, it’s something you should grow to enjoy and look forward to. The simple fact of the matter is, you have to give your relationship attention. And it needs attention every day. It’s time to rethink your plan of action if you are stuck in a rut.
It’s the tiny things, accumulated over the day, that ignites the spark. It’s something that literally takes you seconds, but leaves a lasting impression on your spouse. Try to do these things as often as possible: (Spoken from a girl’s perspective, but it works both ways, men.)
* Tell him how hot he is.
* Kiss his lips softly (longer than a quick peck on the lips.)
* Kiss his neck.
* Whisper something sexy to him.
* Send him a racy email picture or video at work.
* Tell him how much you appreicate him.
* Tell him he’s sexy!
* Look at him lustfully.
* Throw a sexy picture or love note in his briefcase.
* Call him and tell him you can’t wait for him to come home from work.
* Dress sexy for him.
* Always wear sexy (and matching) bra/panties…because yes, they notice. Trust!
* Hug on him as much as possible.
* Be proud of your man (and tell him so.)
* Be spontaneous and initiate.
* Be easy to live with. Point out his positives rather than negatives.
* Say I love you in a sexy way.
* Work out and keep your body looking sexy for your spouse.
There’s a million more ways to keep it hot. Feel free to add your own in the comments section below. What’s your secret on keeping it hot?

Take A Sec
December can be maddening. Almost every day of the month is dedicated to making someone else happy…which is a great thing, but don’t forget about yourself. Take some time to reflect, to appreciate your life, your family, and the good things around you. Make this year your “first annual” whatever. Make some memories, start some traditions, do something to make people remember you when you’re gone. Stay positive and happy this month. That’s what it’s all about, after all. This holiday was created around a great and joyous event (remember?) Fill your home with great scents, indulge in at home spa treatments, take a nap, just take a second for yourself. Throw an hour of Yoga or Pilates in, and you’re set, girlfriend. Now go on and take a sec!

Sweetest Day Tomorrow
Sweetest Day is October 18, 2008. This Saturday! Take this day and spoil your sweetie. And be specific, please. Get them something meaningful, something that means a lot to them. For instance, I adore orange (fav color) roses. I also adore Casablanca lilies. When someone gives me orange roses or Casablanca lilies, I know they thought of me, that they really took the time and thought of what I’d like. Sometimes what people like is completely unconventional. I absolutely love getting appliances on Christmas or my birthday (which is the day after Christmas.) Two of my more favorite gifts of all time were my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and my Cuisinart food processor. So happy, that I rolled around on the bed with them for a while, taking in their loveliness. My point is, it’s all relative. Find out what your sweetie loves. Get to know little details about them. It makes the gift so much sweeter. By the way, sweetest day doesn’t have to be about gifts that you buy. I recommend you head over to my girl, Laura Corn’s, website and get some ideas of what I’m talking about. www.LauraCorn.com. You might think that the things you learn there will beat the pants right off of orange roses!

Happy “In Love” Day
Okay, so there’s no such thing as “In Love” Day, but it sure is a sweet concept. Go kiss on someone today. Or, better yet, go fall in love today. Nothing is better than being in love!
xoxo
