I can hardly deny that I myself have fallen victim to the obsession with designer goods, especially when it comes to bags and shoes. We can’t help it if our hearts skip a beat when we step into these luxury brands like Chanel, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or Ferragamo, just to name a few. You would think that even during these hard times and bad economy, brands like Hermes would be making losses. But instead, just last year, their sales moved up by almost nine percent! The power of a Birkin still lives on I say! What is it that still makes women cut back on groceries and other expenditures, just so they can save on designer goods? Are these ‘investment pieces’ women splurge on really for self satisfaction or to get noticed?

Doing things that make you happy
There are certain things about life that evoke happy childhood memories. How far would you go to relive these memories, even if it meant doing things like eating cotton candy in public at a bus stop, and you’re already 50?
Making Time For Me
Try to put exercise into the average person’s schedule and they’ll say, “I don’t have enough time.” Try to put ‘me time’ into the average person’s schedule, and they’ll say, “What’s me time?” ‘Me time’ refers to time for oneself to participate in activities that you enjoy, that provide you with peace and happiness, and awaken your senses. “No, I don’t think I have time for that.” Do you think ‘me’ time is necessary or is it a waste of, well, time? Share your thoughts.
Coming To Terms With Aging.
A while back I bumped into a former uni mate. He had gained quite a bit around the middle, and his hair was thinning. My first thought was, wow, we're getting old. I don't feel like I look very old yet, but I do have some gray hairs, and wrinkles around my eyes. I've also noticed that it takes cuts and scrapes (and mosquito bites) longer to heal than it used to. Are you comfortable with growing older or are you doing something to preserve your youth?
