Setiap individu yang pernah menghadiri reuni SMA pasti menyadari bahwa usia bukanlah sekedar sebuah angka yang tertera di KTP.
Bintang sepak bola yang dulu pernah menjadi idola Anda mungkin sekarang sudah berubah menjadi gemuk, keriput, botak seperti kentang sementara pemain terompet yang dulu berperawakan kurus kering sekarang menjadi sosok musisi professional yang seksi, tinggi, ramping, dan dandy.
Ratu pesta dansa yang berusia 16 tahun kini kelihatan lebih tua dari usia sebenarnya, sementara individu yang dulu dijuluki ilmuwan tikus aneh sekarang memiliki wajah yang bebas keriput. Bagaimana mungkin?
Lantas apa yang menyebabkan adanya perbedaan tersebut? Menurut Michael F. Roizen, M.D., dekan sekolah pengobatan di SUNY Upstate Medical University dan pengarang buku “Real Age: Are You As Young As You Can Be?”, menuturkan “kita memiliki kontrol penuh untuk menentukan usia kita bahkan kita bisa melawan proses penuaan tersebut”.
Melalui beberapa modifikasi gaya hidup, Dr. Roizen percaya bahwa setiap orang dapat meraih periode melawan proses penuaan tersebut. “Aku meminta pasienku untuk mencari target kesehatan yang cukup mudah untuk mereka terapkan dalam hidup,” ujarnya. “Semakin masuk akal ambisi Anda, maka akan semakin terbiasa dengan program yang Anda jalani.”
Banyak orang yang mengeluhkan keadaan kulit dan wajah mereka yang tampak lebih tua daripada umur sebenarnya. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, berikut 14 cara mudah untuk memperlambat jam penuaan Anda agar tetap tampak awet muda:
1. Selalu merasa bahagia
Merasa bahagia adalah salah satu kunci utama agar tetap terlihat awet muda. Dalam setiap kegiatan, usahakan agar apa yang Anda lakukan sesuai dengan apa yang Anda inginkan. Hindari stres, perasaan bersalah dan tertekan karena paksaan orang lain.
Ingat, apa yang Anda rasakan akan tercermin pada wajah Anda. Jadi, orang yang sedang bahagia, wajahnya akan terlihat berseri-seri, santai dan lebih muda daripada usia sebenarnya.
2. Banyak bergerak
Berolahraga adalah cara efektif agar tetap tampak awet muda. Lakukan joging, jalan cepat, bersepeda maupun berenang sekitar 30 menit setiap hari. Dengan olahraga, risiko terkena serangan jantung, osteoporosis dan kanker pun akan mengecil. Olahraga teratur dapat menambah fleksibilitas otot, memperkuat tulang, serta mengurangi stres, karena sel-sel tubuh mendapat lebih banyak oksigen. Tidur Anda pun akan menjadi lebih nyenyak.
3. Konsumsi vitamin C
Vitamin C bisa Anda peroleh dari buah-buahan segar (terutama jeruk), sayur-mayur berwarna hijau (brokoli dan lain-lain) atau suplemen vitamin C sebanyak 1000 mg perhari. Vitamin C telah terbukti mampu meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh, mengurangi risiko terkena kanker dan melindungi tubuh dari efek yang ditimbulkan oleh polusi. Di samping itu, perbanyaklah juga minum air putih. Karena dengan meminum air putih minimal 8 gelas perhari dapat mengurangi stres, menjaga kesegaran kulit, serta memperlancar kerja organ tubuh.
4. Gunakan pelindung UV
Matahari adalah salah satu faktor utama penyebab penuaan dini. Oleh karena itu, gunakan selalu lotion pelembab secara teratur setiap hari, khususnya bila akan bepergian agar kulit tetap segar, lembab dan tidak terbakar sinar matahari, terutama sinar ultra violet (UV).
5. Istirahat cukup
Manusia butuh sekurang-kurangnya 8 jam setiap hari untuk tidur. Istirahat cukup sangat bermanfaat untuk menghindari terbentuknya kantung mata, kulit keriput dan wajah kusam.
6. Perhatikan penampilan
Penampilan dan tata rias wajah juga memegang peranan penting. Meski usia terus bertambah, tetap perhatikan jenis kosmetik yang akan Anda pakai. Gunakan make-up tipis untuk kesan natural dengan tetap memperhatikan kondisi dan jenis kulit Anda.
7. Optimis
Orang yang pesimis selalu tidak percaya diri, gampang putus asa dan tak pernah memperhatikan penampilan, sehingga rentan akan depresi. Jadi, berusahalah menjadi orang yang selalu optimis dalam segala hal, sebab ini akan membuat hidup Anda menjadi lebih sehat dan bahagia.
8. Minum Aspirin
Obat ajaib ini bukan hanya membantu meredakan sakit kepala dan demam, namun juga menurunkan risiko terjangkit stroke, serangan jantung, kemunduran ingatan, keriput bahkan bisa mengatasi kanker.
“Semua penyakit tersebut berhubungan dengan usia arteri dan aspirin membantu mengurangi bertambahnya usia arteri tersebut,” tambah Roizen.
Dia menambahkan, bagi wanita yang memasuki masa postmenopausal dianjurkan untuk tidak mengkonsumsi aspirin termasuk penderita ulcers (bisul), diabetes dan gangguan ginjal untuk membatasi mengkonsumsi aspirin sedikitnya sekitar 325 miligram perhari. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu Anda sekitar 1,9 tahun.
9. Berhubungan Seks
Berhubungan intim dengan pasangan Anda setidaknya dua kali seminggu membuat Anda akan tampak lebih muda dan lebih sehat. Roizen menyatakan bahwa “para pakar kesehatan menekankan bahwa seks bisa membuat kita tampak lebih muda selain juga mengurangi stress dan mengambil keuntungan dari biokimia yang timbul saat orgasme”.
“Kita tidak tahu jika Anda menikmati kehidupan seks Anda, Anda secara tak sadar akan menurunkan risiko cedera, kanker, bahkan penuaan arteri,” tambahnya. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu sampai 1,6 tahun.
10. Lakukan Floss
Jika dokter gigi Anda menyarankan Anda untuk sering-sering menggunakan dental floos, maka lakukanlah. Karena dengan pengunaan dental floos Anda akan tampak lebih muda. Roizen menambahkan, menggunakan dental floss tiap hari dapat mencegah stroke, meningkatkan memori dan mencegah penyakit jantung, karena kebiasaan menggunakan dental floss dapat mengurangi berkembangnya bakteri yang tumbuh di gusi kita. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu sampai 6,4 tahun.
11. Miliki binatang peliharaan
Roizen menambahkan, selain mampu meredakan stress, demam, ataupun infeksi kronis lainnya, pemilik binatang peliharaan akan cenderung terhindar dari serangan jantung. Program ini dapat membalikan waktu sampai 0,9 tahun.
12. Konsumsilah blueberries
Buah berries memberikan nutrisi lebih banyak per kalorinya dibanding buah lainnya. “Berries adalah pil antioksidan alami,” ujar Roizen. Satu setengah cangkir berries memberi kita antioksidan lima kali lebih besar dibanding buah lainnya. Selain itu blueberries juga mengandung Vitamin C, kaya akan serat dan asam ellagic yang dipercaya baik untuk mencegah kanker. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu sampai 1,6 tahun.
13. Latihan beban
Roizen berpendapat bahwa latihan beban hanya sekitar 30 menit seminggu sekali dapat memperlambat penuaan, selain membuat tubuh kita semakin kuat, lentur dan membuat kulit terlihat kencang. Jika memang berat badan bukan target utama Anda, mungkin menguatkan otot serta memperbaiki postur tubuh bisa menjadikan alasan untuk memiliki tubuh yang segar dan bugar. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu sampai 1,7 tahun.
14. Bersosialisasi
Mungkin Anda berpikir menghabiskan waktu dirumah dengan membaca akan
membuat Anda lebih awet muda daripada menghabiskan waktu di kota. Selama kehidupan sosialisasi Anda tidak melibatkan minum-minum yang berlebihan, pengurangan jam tidur serta mengurangi isapan rokok juga bisa membuat Anda tampak lebih muda dan bahagia.
“Sosialisasi adalah cara terbaik mengurangi stress,” ujar Roizen. Semakin sering Anda bersosialisasi dengan lingkungan Anda, maka semakin banyak kesempatan Anda untuk memperlambat penuaan usia Anda. Program ini dapat membalikkan waktu sampai 2,3 tahun.

Langkah-langkah menjadi wirausaha
Berikut ini adalah sepuluh langkah yang bisa menjadi panduan tindakan kita untuk tumbuh dan berubah menjadi pribadi
dengan kemampuan wirausaha yang handal :
Langkah pertama :
Temukan Tujuan dan Dambaan Anda. (Find Your Purpose and Dream All the Time)
Sebenarnya sukses bukanlah hasil, namun adalah sebuah proses. Tiap kali kita berhasil menyelesaikan tugas atau mencapai target, segeralah membuat sasaran baru yang memberi semangat pada kita untuk mencapainya. Usahakanlah untuk memiliki target, baik harian, bulanan maupun tahunan. Bentuknya bisa berupa keinginan untuk meningkatkan penghasilan, penyelesaian tugas, atau perjalanan karir yang menanjak. Apa pun yang Anda dambakan,
semua harus berpijak pada kata kunci SMART ( Specific, Measurable, Achieveable, Reality-based, Time frame). Artinya, semua langkah yang Anda tempuh haruslah spesifik, jelas, terukur, dapat dicapai berdasarkan realitas atau kondisi apapun yang ada dan sedang kita alami saat ini.
Langkah kedua :
Jangan Pernah Berhenti Mengembangkan Diri (Never-ending Innovation)
Langkah yang kedua adalah kebiasaan untuk mengembangkan diri ( melakukan inovasi) tanpa henti. Bila cita-cita atau dambaan hidup kita merupakan bangunan utama, pengembangan diri adalah tiang utamanya. Memang, tak cukup dengan sekedar cita-cita atau impian, karena semuanya harus didukung pengembangan diri tanpa henti. Sehingga bangunan cita-cita itu kuat menghadapi segala rongrongan. Bentuk pengembangan diri bisa beragam. Misalnya, dalam semangat wirausaha kita harus mampu mengelola produk ( product management), memelihara pelanggan (customer management), menata berbagai sistem keuangan (cashflow management systems) dan sebagainya. Kreatifitas untuk mengembangkan diri bisa diterjemahkan sebagai sesuatu yang bisa diterapkan dan memberikan nilai tambah atas sumber daya yang kita miliki. Jadi untuk senantiasa dapat berinovasi kita memerlukan kecerdasan kreatif (creative intelligence). Caranya adalah dengan berlatih untuk senantiasa menurunkan gelombang otak sedemikian sehingga kita dapat mencapai kata hati (conscience) kita sebagai sumber kreativitas dan naluri wirausaha kita.
Langkah Ketiga :
Belajar, untuk Tumbuh dan Berubah
( Learn – Change and Grow )
Langkah berikutnya ini tak kalah penting bagi semangat seorang wirausahawan, yakni semangat untuk selalu belajar dan belajar. Bila dicermati, sebenarnya ada berbagai peluang dalam kehidupan ini yang menyediakan kesempatan belajar, mengalami pertumbuhan dan kemajuan. Cukup banyak rahasia dan kiat hidup yang bisa kita temukan untuk dipecahkan dan memberi kita berbagai wacana baru, yang bisa menjadi sumber inspirasi untuk mencapai apa yang selama ini didambakan dan dicita-citakan. Termasuk keberhasilan dalam membangun karir dan mencapai tahapan hidup yang lebih mapan dan nyaman. Bagi mereka yang bersedia meluaskan pandangan, selalu tersedia ruang bagi munculnya gagasan baru, juga peluang untuk melakukan perubahan dan penyempurnaan dari apa yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya. Gagasan yang muncul itulah yang kemudian akan membantu kita untuk beranjak selangkah lebih maju.
Setelah memiliki sudut pandang dan pemahaman baru akan produktifitas kerja atau langkah-langkah untuk melakukan tahapan kerja secara efektif, kita bisa melihat berbagai kekurangan dan kelemahan yang sebelumnysa pernah kita lakukan. Bagi seorang wirausahawan sejati adalah proses pembelajaran ini pasti dilakukan sepanjang perjalanan karirnya. Hasrat
untuk selalu belajar memahami berbagai hal yang baru bahkan telah menjadi bagian dari diri pribadinya untuk mengembangkan diri. Kini kita berada di era cyber dan informasi. Di masa mendatang, pasti akan terjadi berbagai wacana ilmu pengetahuan, tekn;logi, situasi dan kondisi sosial dan ekonomi yang lebih baru lagi. Ketika seorang wirausahawan berhenti untuk memperbaiki diri, saat itulah dia berhenti sebagai seorang wirausahawan yang baik.
Langkah Keempat:
Meningkatkan Kemampuan
(Accumulate Your Assets)
Sasaran akhir dari seorang wirausahawan bukanlah menjadi investor atau pemilik usaha. Target akhir para wirausahawan adalah mencapai kebebasan finansial serta mencapai apa yang dicita-citakan. Patut diingat, bila wirausahawan sebenarnya bukanlah sebuah profesi ataupun pekerjaan. Kewirausahaan atau kemampuan untuk mengelola apa saja, adalah sebuah cara yang kita lakukan untuk menjalani kehidupan sesuai dengan pilihan kita. Seorang pemilik perusahaan yang selalu sibuk bekerja belum tentu seorang wirausahawan yang sejati (true
entrepreneur). Ketika dia belum mampu menerapkan mekanisme pengelolaan pekerjaan tersebut dan menggunakan waktunya untuk meraih berbagai pengembangan baru yang bermakna, dia masih tetap menjadi seorang pekerja. Bukan pengelola (manajer). Apalagi wirausaha. Dalam salah satu kiat keuangan cerdas (smart money) misalnya, salah satu cara untuk mencapai kebebasan finansial adalah dengan memiliki kebiasaan mengakumulasikan atau menambah aset bagus kita pada balance sheet (neraca yang seimbang) sehingga menambah pemasukan ke dalam income statement kita. Salah satu cara yang mudah untuk mengawali kebiasaan ini adalah dengan menabung. Yang penting bukan berapa jumlah yang kita tabung, melainkan kesadaran bahwa setiap bulan kita berusaha untuk menjadi lebih kaya. Balance sheet pribadi kita maupun usaha yang kita miliki harus senantiasa menunjukkan penambahan aset kita.

Foods For a Healthy Menopause
By Shelli Stein
Optimizing nutrition and optimizing your food choices during menopause will go a long way towards creating a healthy and symptom-free menopause. It helps to have some foods to focus on that will give you the most bang for your buck!
Here are 10 healthful foods for you to focus on to supercharge your health during menopause.
1. Pumpkin is filled with vitamin C and A, has fiber and has anti-inflammatory properties. Canned pumpkin is fine, just make sure there is no sugar added. Pumpkin is very delicious and can be used in a variety of ways.
2. Beets. Try adding beets to homemade coleslaw. Not a typical item found in coleslaw, but it'll give it a nice taste. Beets have vitamins A and C, fiber and minerals.
3. Beans and other legumes are high in protein and fiber.
4. Yogurt is a great source of calcium and has probiotics in it which help improve your gut health.
5. Canned tuna or salmon is filled with protein, is relatively inexpensive and has good omega-3 fat.
6. Oranges are very high in vitamin C and potassium. Eat the fruit rather than the juice and eat the pith because that's where a lot of the vitamins are.
7. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A and C and also a good fiber source. When you boil them you lose a lot of the vitamins, so bake them and be sure to eat the skin.
8. Frozen berries are full of antioxidants. Use a variety of berries and eat them every day.
9. Kiwi has vitamins E and K and is also high in vitamin C.
10. Spinach is a powerhouse so just make sure to eat it! Use spinach in smoothies, raw in salads, or cooked in some olive oil.
Notice in this group of 10 the variety of colors, the variety of vitamins you'll get, the fiber content, the different macro-nutrient groups (carbohydrate, protein, fat) and the many recipes that can potentially be created using these ingredients. That's what you're looking for when you chose what to eat during menopause. Keep it simple, but keep it smart, and you'll be feeling and looking your best each and every day.

Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) And Yoga
By Kyle J Norton
As we mentioned in previous article, Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts. In this article, we will discuss how yoga helps to treat PMS.
Yoga is one form of medical treatment, originated from India which has been all over the world with proven record in preventing and treating diseases.
1. Sugar regulating
It is said that yoga is helpful in stimulating the function of digestive system and improving the function of insulin production of pancreas in sugar regulation resulting in helping people with diabetes and women with symptoms of sugar craving in PMS.
2. Nervous system
By following the inhaling and exhaling in yoga, it helps to calm and relax the cell in the nervous system that helps to decrease the risk of hormones over production such as serotonin and adrenaline resulting in lessening symptoms of emotional and physical stress, anxiety and irritability.
3. PMS pain and cramps
Yoga besides helps to calm and relax the brain cell, it also has a calming effects in relaxing the muscle in the abdomen including the uterus muscles resulting in reducing the risk of PMS pain and cramps.
4. Insomnia
Yoga helps to increase the production of melatonin through exercise of inhaling and exhaling thereby, calming the over active of brain cells at night resulting in reducing the symptoms of sleeplessness for women with PMS.
5. Digestive system and constipation
Through deep inhaling and slow exhaling into the stomach, it helps to improve the muscles of the stomach and secret the production of vital stomach acids resulting in improving the function of digestive system in vitamins and minerals absorption. This action also helps to increase movement of large intestine that helps to reduce symptoms of constipation for some women with PMS.

Tips For Beautifully Polished Fingernails
By Barry Lycka
Beautifully polished nails aren't just for hand models. Besides your face, your hands are another area that people first notice about you. Nail polish can help your hands look younger, smoother and even thinner. Polishing your nails may seem like a no-brainer, but here are some helpful tips you may not have been aware of before:
1. If you are already wearing a polish or not, before you apply nail polish, always remove the excess oils from your nails with nail polish remover.
2. To avoid cotton ball fuzzies stuck to your nails, use a makeup sponge with polish remover.
3. To avoid yellowing nails after your polish is removed, try buffing the tops of your nails. This will also smooth out the roughness of your nails.
4. Always, always, always use a base coat! This also will help eliminate the discolorization of your nails.
5. Water-based nail enamels, hypoallergenic and unscented nail products are available if you have sensitive skin.
6. Choose a shade that enhances your fingers and toes.
7. Instead of shaking your polish, roll the bottle in the palm of your hand, your nail polish will last longer!
8. Don't put too much polish on the brush.
9. When painting your nails, apply the polish to the tips of your nails and slightly underneath the tip of your nails.
10. Fast drying enamels are fabulous, but they also chip faster!
11. Nail polish takes a full hour to completely dry without smudging.
12. Once your nails have dried enough, usually 10 minutes, add a top coat.
13. To keep your nails looking glossy, apply a new coat every other day.

How to Be a Great Beauty
By Bryan Burbank
Everyone wants to be beautiful. It may not be as difficult as it seems. You must remember what is beautiful for one person may not necessarily be beautiful to another person. So there is room for everyone to be beautiful.
Each year there are millions of articles written and shows on TV showing you what can make you beautiful. In this article I will like to give you some tips that can make you the beautiful woman you want to be.
First, skin care is most important. Having a radiant complexion is essential. You must learn to take care of your skin from an early age. Get yourself into a good skin care regime of cleansing and moisturizing. It is never to early to start. All the make-up in the world layered over a bad complexion will ever make you beautiful.
Second, take good care of your hair. Use a good shampoo and conditioner. Wash often, but not so often that you wash out all of the natural healthy oils.
Everyone wants to be a beautiful blond, but remember that bleaching and over processing your hair takes all of the life out of it and ruins it. If you choose to have long hair make sure you trim it often so you don't have split ends. Keep in mind a woman's crowning glory is her hair.
Third, nutrition is very important, you know the old adage you are what you eat. So make sure you have a good diet. Eat three good meals every day, balanced with healthy snacks.
As busy as your life may be due to family and career make sure you eat properly. Along with a good diet make sure you have the right amount of essential vitamins and nutrients important to a woman's good health.
Fourth, exercise,no excuses, make time for yourself. I know you are busy with your family and your career. But you must make time for yourself at least three times a week to exercise. This is good for your body and your mind. Your family will be much happier in the end because you took this time for yourself.
Lastly, you can do all of the above tips to make you more beautiful, but if you don't feel beautiful from within, you will never look beautiful on the outside. You must feel good about yourself and who you are and if you don't you must find out why you feel like that. The key to genuine outer beauty is a deep sense of inner beauty.
T Shirts For Confident Women
By Karl Hopkins
When it comes to being funny, tradition says that men are normally funnier than women. Although one way for women to combat this tradition is by wearing funny t shirts.
It is a good way to connect to men and let them know that you can be just as funny as them. Not only will they find you amusing, they also will respect you for having such a great sense of humour.
Wearing this type of fashion statement also shows your sarcastic side and lets people know that you appreciate a lighter side of fashion and life style.
Wearing funny t-shirts is always a good idea for women who want to show off their comical side. Whether this is outright funny or more satirical, it lets people know that you appreciate a humour, and enough to show this to the world.
Most people think women's fashion views revolve around great dresses and accessories. What many women want though is a comfortable yet stylish top. They find both in these humourous shirts. What is even better about these tops is that you can dress them easily with a nice pair of jeans and some nice accessories. You do not have to look like a slouch in a t shirt anymore.
Men differ from women in the realm of fashion. Both men and women know this, which is why most men prefer to shop alone. They know what they like when it comes to clothing and they do not want a woman to change their fashion or style sense.
When you wear funny t-shirts with accessories, people will be even more impressed with your fashion sense than if you were to wear a regular top, as they will see you are willing to take risks with your wardrobe because you are a confident person.
Confidence and a great sense of humour is the key to great fashion sense. People will find you funny if you are confident in your delivery. T shirts show off that confidence because it lets people know that you are not afraid to express yourself through your attire.
Another reason why funny t-shirts are such a good fashion choice for women is because they can be worn with so many different things. You can use them to dress down an outfit and show off your funny side while you are working out.
You also can be funny and make people laugh while doing something such as shopping, taking a walk. If you are creative enough, your possibilities are endless when it comes to wearing funny shirts.

Street Smarts Tips For Women
Women can be vulnerable in different instances. Sometimes, emotions can trigger their alertness and confidence on streets. Thus, susceptible women may be subject as the next target of people with bad intentions and a victim of street accidents.
While women can be considered street smarts, they can still sometimes fall in traps. The next important travel safety tips are dedicated to all travelers, particularly women. The tips can be categorized as part of the common sense, women's intuitions and a general idea on how to be safe on streets.
1. Dress up properly. If you are new in a place, make sure that you are dressed appropriately. You do not want to stand out in the crowd and attract significant attention from robbers. You should not also wear expensive and even fake pieces of jewelry and carry big bags as those may also compromise your safety. More often, wearing a wedding ring makes sense.
2. Study the place. Before you go out for a walk, make sure that you have studied your destination's map. Holding a map while walking on streets can give thieves a hint that you are new in the place. After studying, you can just bring a small organizer or pocket note with your listed important landmarks. You may also want to ask your hotel's concierge for the places that should be avoided. Walking during the day is also safer than at night.
3. Carrying your valuables. Money, documents and cellular phones are just some of the important things that must be with you when traveling. It is better to carry a small bag where your body can wrap around it or a belt bag that you should wear tightly around your waist. If possible, bring only one credit card, identification ID and photocopies of your travel documents. You must also familiarize yourself with the foreign currency before using it.
4. When you are astray. Consider asking directions to a family or women with children. This will make you safer and free from robbers or stalkers. You may ask for directions or the landmark of the place and say that you will meet somebody there so they will not suspect that you are alone.
5. If something bad happens. Remember that thieves attack at times that we do not expect so make sure to run, fight and yell as loud as you can to catch attention from other people.

Vanessa Williams Admits to Botox
When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it is often a guessing game to try to determine what celebrities have had anything done.
Few celebrities will admit to having cosmetic procedures, even though most admit that everyone seems to be doing it.
Because of this, it is always a bit exciting when a celebrity openly reveals that they use cosmetic procedures to attain that perfect television look.
Vanessa Williams, former pageant winner and singer and current co-star on the hit television series Ugly Betty recently admitted to journalist Barbara Walters that she frequently undergoes Botox injections.
Williams calls the injections a miracle drug, marvelling at how impressive the results are without the need for cutting or surgery. She is quick to state that she loves the drug.
In truth, what is not to love? Williams is as beautiful as ever and certainly looks nowhere near her forty plus years of age. She is talented, successful, and one of the most beautiful women in the business.
While many women in Hollywood are denying having work done and sneaking through the back door of the surgeons office in remote locations, Williams sits comfortably at home, basking in the astonishing results of her injections.
She is among a very small group of celebrities who will admit to cosmetic procedures, though she is only a small part of the group of celebrities who have them.
Many women take inspiration from people like Williams. Rather than denying that she ages like everyone else, she embraces that fact and admits fully to having injections to fight wrinkles.
Many people have an unrealistic image of celebrities, feeling that they wake up every day of their lives looking as beautiful as they did while in their twenties. That perception is perpetuated by many celebrities' blatant refusal to admit to cosmetic work.
Vanessa Williams is a great example of the result of Botox. When performed properly by a licensed cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist, Botox is a safe way to eliminate wrinkles and to highlight the face.
Williams has certainly done a great service by admitting to the injections and has helped people see that proper Botox can improve the skin without paralyzing the entire face. Many people have a skewed view of Botox because they only hear about people who have had the procedure done improperly, and Williams is helping to show the true face of excellent Botox injections.

Girl Power (Know Your Worth, Be Empowered)
(One woman to the rest)
If we know we're worth more and we are, we know we deserve better. If we know our value, we won't settle for less or be less. So be it...
1. We are not sex objects - We are to be loved, respected and taken care of, not items to be used to gratify the lustful desires of the opposite gender. Any man who thinks of us otherwise is not worthy of us nor is he worth anything at all.
2. We're not inferior to men - We were originally created as a helpmate but that doesn't mean lower or second-class. It just means we're a necessity. Men can't simply do without us. They need our help. No competition there but partnership. Our worth and power, and influence is in being simply "FEMININE". We don't need to prove we can do what the men can do because obviously we can do something they can't, conceive and bear children.
3. We are beautiful and complex -- Whether fair skinned, brown, or black (unless you're yellowish, in that case you better consult a doctor right away), women are beautiful. Endowed with curves and softer, smoother skin. And we do smell better. Aging may change all that but the awesome and complex (part of our charm) person we are inside will never be ebbed away by years and this is the most important part of us that we ought to pay more attention to than shampoo commercials.
4. We are emotional creatures - Soft, and fragile and should be treated with gentleness. This is also why we often can't make up our minds, because we base our decisions mainly from how we feel (and our emotion's like a roller coaster - not to mention, we have 'that' time of the month) rather than how we think about something or the logic of it. Men on the other hand are often not in touch with their emotions (because they look at everything at a logical point, sometimes, too much). So God made us for the things they're not good at. Hehe

The Eight Myths of Becoming a Model
1) You have to be really pretty or beautiful.
The best way to put this is that a person cannot be unattractive. That means you generally cannot have; bad skin, asymmetrical or odd facial features, or weirdly colored or cut hair. It is not unusual for a model to walk in their agency on a off day, in casual clothing and no makeup, only to be told by the receptionist that the open call for new models is later in the week.
2) You must be tall to model.
If you are going to be a runway model then the answer is yes. However, most modeling is not runway or fashion show. Most print models can start at 5'6". There is always petite modeling which goes from 5'1" to 5'4". Then there is promotional modeling that has no height requirement at all.
3) If an agent or agency really wants you they will pay for everything.
If you are one of the handful of models that the big worldwide agencies bid for each year the answer is yes. If you are one of the other 99% then the answer is no. Agencies generally do not pay for your pictures, comp cards, or digitization and image enhancement costs. They may even lend you the money only to take it back when you start making money.
4) Modeling is really hard work.
Although mostly a myth there is some truth to this statement. It is true that models make $25 to $150 an hour for basically standing around looking good, either to be photographed, walk a ramp, or talk to people. Anyway you cut it it's not so hard. The hard part is going out on all the auditions to get the modeling job in the first place. A model may have to go out on 3 auditions for every one they land. That is not fun.
5) Models make a lot of money.
Yes, it's true that Gisele Bundchen made around 33 million dollars last year. However even in the top 10 top model money earners the amount fell into the measly 7 figures. Now that is in the entire world! Outside of the major modeling markets like New York and Los Angeles the vast majority of models work part time, and must supplement their model earnings with another job.
6) Models must be skinny.
For most print and runway models this may be true. However, there is always plus size models, (sizes 14 -20). In addition, it is not unusual for female models to be size 6-8, hardly considered skinny by most people. Today it is much more important to have a toned body, where a person looks healthy with no flabby parts.
7) You have to know about posing, putting on makeup, and being in front of the camera.
If you have the look the photographer or agent wants, they will figure out the rest.
8) You need professional pictures to send to an agency.
Any new face agent should be able to tell you whether they want you with simple digital pictures you or a friend take of you. The best idea is a plan a photo shoot where you have alot of clothing and makeup changes, making sure you take lots, (maybe like 100), of pictures, then simply picking out the best 4 or 5 to send in to the agencies you want to apply to.

For most print and runway models this may be true. However, there is always plus size models, (sizes 14 -20). In addition, it is not unusual for female models to be size 6-8, hardly considered skinny by most people. Today it is much more important to have a toned body, where a person looks healthy with no flabby parts.
7) You have to know about posing, putting on makeup, and being in front of the camera.
If you have the look the photographer or agent wants, they will figure out the rest.
8) You need professional pictures to send to an agency.
Any new face agent should be able to tell you whether they want you with simple digital pictures you or a friend take of you. The best idea is a plan a photo shoot where you have alot of clothing and makeup changes, making sure you take lots, (maybe like 100), of pictures, then simply picking out the best 4 or 5 to send in to the agencies you want to apply to.

Beauty Contest and Feminism
Feminism is not all about hating men; it is about fighting for equal rights. Man has always dominated women since age-old times. Since women were not well-educated and financially independent she remained the oppressed gender. Her worth as a homemaker and a mother was not recognized and was subject to male dominance.
Feminism is all about demanding self-respect. Although the scenario has changed today with more and more women getting proper education, to reach high positions of power women has to put in twice the effort put by her male counterpart. Rape, forced marriage and other misogynist actions are forced on her.
Feminist of the world want to break down all barriers that obstruct women from being treated equally. They want women to be free from cruelty and receive the same opportunities as men, in education and at her place of work. Feminism about bringing equality and making the world a better place for everybody to live in.
So what is the connection between beauty contest and feminism? Beauty contest although gives women an opportunity to prosper and showcase her talent, feminist disapprove of it for the way a women is portrayed here.
They maintain that here again it is the male who decides the worth of women on the basis of her beauty. Here again she has to qualify after being ogled by the panel of judges. Can't women look beautiful without displaying her skin? Why go to such demeaning heights? Why treat women as an object of entertainment? It is on these issues that beauty contest and feminism collide.
Beauty in these contests is only skin-deep; it promotes women as an inferior gender. Such shows adhere to obsolete principles of beauty and seek approval of others and it sends a wrong message to the society.
Though beauty contest and feminism do not see eye to eye with each other, the latter must remember that the girls compete for the contest voluntarily. Banning and protesting is not the answer to the solution, some of the girls depend on it as it helps them to pursue a career.
The solution lies in organizing beauty contest for men; while this is organized in some countries it has not gained immense popularity like the women's contest. Organizing beauty contest for plus-size women, beauty contest for mothers and beauty contest for career women for being what she is appropriate. Just being career-oriented does not make a women extraordinary. Being a good mother, a good wife, a good daughter and women who stands by her family are just as good traits as been career conscious.

The Perfect Size to Model - Does it Exist?
Recently I joined one of the newer modeling communities to assist teenagers in breaking into the modeling industry. I was astonished to learn how many teenagers felt their self esteem was low or that they were not pretty enough to model.
Most teens look at the fashion magazines and music videos and get upset because they can't measure up to Hollywood standards of what beauty is perceived to be.
The models and celebrities that we see in the media have a hair stylist, image consultant, and make up artist on staff. They pay these people lots of money to make them look good when they hit the red carpet.
What many of us keep forgetting is that these entertainers are air brushed with a computer software called Photoshop. This software isn't just for famous people anymore. Almost all photographers now use Photoshop to enhance their clients features.
Celebrities can get away with not looking completely natural because they are established stars. It is hard for the average person to walk into a casting call with head shots or comp cards that don't look like you. I guarantee something will be said to you.
Did you know that the average woman in the United States is a size 14?
The days of the "skinny models" are over. Models these days come in all shapes, sizes, and colors of the rainbow. Advertisers don't necessary want the drop dead gorgeous models to sell their products/services. They are looking for models who consumers can relate to and who are believable.
If you don't believe it think about the infamous Dove's Campaign for "Real Beauty" that featured everyday full-figured women advertising their products on billboards nationwide in their bra and panties. Check out a clip of their Dove Evolution Campaign at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hibyAJOSW8U&feature=fvw
Then there's "Miss Fiercee" Tocarra from America's Next Top Model who also helped put full-figured women on the map. Last but not least, there's Queen Latifah who started out as a rapper from the East Coast and is now a Cover Girl.
Who would have imagined that any of this would have happened in the modeling industry?
When it comes to modeling today so many doors have been opened and it is up to you to determine what path you will take. There are so many categories of modeling to choose from that are outside the realm of full-figured or supermodel.
The list below is just a small sample of the different types of modeling and models.
Print Modeling Commercial Modeling Runway Modeling (Body) Part Modeling Plus Size Modeling Free Lance Modeling Petite Models Fit Models Hair Models Promotional Models
Depending on the market you live in will determine the type of work you get. Think about what assets you possess and use them to your advantage. Ask yourself some questions! Do you have great hands or feet? Is your hair healthy and versatile? Do you have a great walk?
You may have to be on the thinner and taller side to become a Supermodel but in the meantime, there is plenty of work out there and money to be made in this crazy world we call modeling. So don't get discouraged, be empowered!
