Does money buy Happiness?

The good news is, it does…if if you spend it the right way on things like luxurious massages, relaxing facials and other fabulous experiences.

Find out more about this fascinating new find at The Blogging Boomer’s Carnival, hosted this week by Don’t Gel to Soon.

No more chest wrinkles!!

(JoJami) Wrinkles… If there is one area that I really had not been too worried about wrinkles, it has been my chest or the formal word for it is “décolleté.”

That is, until, a friend of mine who is 30 something, mentioned to me that she had seen this cool product, called Decollete Pads, that basically erases chest lines by wearing this giant band-aid for as little as an hour, or overnight. Then you just peel it off (I tried it, its totally painless) with a chest that looks like someone let you borrow and iron!

OOH NO… Do I need help in that area too?
(I am now running to look in a mirror and check out my plunging neckline…)

Blogging Boomer’s Carnival #80

Once again, we area hosting the gang of Blogging Boomer’s this week. We would like to introduce you to them and give you a flavor of who we are!

What is a Blogging Boomer’s Carnival? It’s a group of bloggers who are all writing about Boomer issues. Our group is growing and we have 2 new bloggers this week!

More of us are entering the second half of our lives than at any other time in history. Yet, in many ways, we are not prepared to live them fully. Find out more, over at So BabyBoomer!

News on the street is that the AARP is being bossy and always telling middle -agers where to live and when to retire. Not one to take things sitting down, the The Boomer Chronicles are saying, “I object”!

So, how does one tastefully cash in on a show that was canceled after only 39 episodes, but which had proven immensely popular after its demise? That was the quandary faced by TV studio execs with the popular show, The Flintstones. Just go to I Remember JFK to find out the whole story!

Seven years after the fact, The Midlife Crisis Queen thinks back to her own divorce, why it happened and why it was a very good change in her life!

Thinking about the new Batman film and all the political implications behind it, Don’t Gel Too Soon discusses them and more…

California was shaking and quaking this past week and Janet Wendy from Gen Plus gives us a little LA peek inside the rumbling!

Have you heard about the Paycheck Fairness Act, being debated currently in Congress? If not you might want to find out more at one of our newest BloggingBoomer members, VaBoomer!

Andrea Stenberg is our other newest B.B. member and she is putting it all on the line as she shares her deepest, darkest secret…about her messy desk. This BabyBoomer Entrepreneur tells how she’s going to overcome this bad habit!

Have you had a chance to see the inspiration talk by Randy Pausch, the terminally ill computer science professor whose poignant farewell lecture at Carnegie Mellon University became a viral video phenomenon? He symbolized living life to the fullest. Having passed away last week, Life Two is celebrating his courage with a link to this special and touching talk!

As far as technology is concerned, are you a digital native or an old dog? Head over to Contemporary Retirement to find out!

What not to Wear shoes

Here is a quick look on what women are clomping around in NYC, and we warn you… its wild!

What seems to be popular these days is too extreme for us gals over 40. For example, these purple patent heels are the perfect, “what NOT to wear” style.

If you want a chuckle, check out this video from The New York Times to see why we think this new style rage should be left to younger Fashionistas.

Fall Fashion picks for women over 40

With the hot and muggy weather, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is pulling on a cashmere sweater (like this cute Vince sweater coat).

But with the fall clothes arriving in the stores, this is the best time to start taking a look. We’ve always found that some of the best pieces come out first, so make sure to grab something great before it is gone.

Before we shop we like to get a preview of what’s out there so we pop online first. When you’ve seen something that you like online or in a magazine it’s so much easier to shop. You just hit the store and you head straight for that item like a bee to honey.

So here is a online taste of what will be trickling into the stores soon…
