As we grow older, many of us experience a tremendous amount of frustration because something inside us doesn't work the way it used to. Nutrition experts tell us to eat certain kinds of food ... some claim free radicals are the sole cause of aging, and that the only way to longevity is through antioxidant supplements. Fitness gurus tell us the only answer is exercise. When we do exercise or go on a diet, we feel a little better-but not much, and not the way we felt when we were younger. We exercise or diet twice as much to stay at the same place, and even that is a challenge.

The story has been the same throughout history, so we wonder if we should continue to fight the battle, or if we should just learn to grow old gracefully.

Improvements in medical technology and new knowledge about exercise, nutrition, and rest are all part of the solution to remaining young and healthy. However, we continue to see some people who do not take particularly good care of themselves, yet are aging more gently-and we know instinctively that parts of the anti-aging puzzle must still be missing.

Cuando comence a escribir MIS MAS INTIMOS SECRETOS, tenia muy claros todos los detalles que conforman la belleza exterior, empezando con la alimentacion, ya que es de suma importancia, no solo para estar saludables, sino tambien para asegurar una belleza que se vera reflejada de manera espectacular, desde el cabello, hasta la punta de nuestros pies. Sin embargo, algo en mi interior lanzaba una voz que me recordaba que no existe belleza exterior sin belleza interior. En otras palabras, no importa cuanto cuidado le demos a nuestra persona si nos olvidamos de la parte mas importante, nuestro Yo interno, nuestra esencia y espiritu. Mi slogan dice: "La verdadera belleza empieza de dentro hacia fuera. Comienza por alimentar tu espiritu, y cualquier procedimiento de belleza que te realices, sera un exito." Marco Mounier's"

This title is a documentary on the lives of 'previously disadvantaged' but presently determined, 'previously oppressed' but presently overcoming individuals. It is about the dignity to be found in the dusty streets of South Africa's shack-lands. While these people obviously don't take pleasure in the poverty they live in, they stand proud in the face of it. These are people who are doing the best they can with the little they have and, in the process, coming up with something aesthetically unique and fresh to offer the world.

Dandies: Fashion and Finesse in Art and Culture considers the visual languages, politics, and poetics of personal appearance. Dandyism has been most closely associated with influential caucasian Western men-about-town, epitomized by the 19th century style-setting of Oscar Wilde and by Tom Wolfe's white suits. The essays collected here, however, examine the spectacle and workings of dandyism to reveal that these were not the only dandies. On the contrary, art historians, literary and cultural historians, and anthropologists identify unrecognized dandies flourishing among early 19th century Native Americans, in Soviet Latvia, in Africa, throughout the African-American diaspora, among women, and in the art world.

Moving beyond historical and fictional accounts of dandies, this volume juxtaposes theoretical models with evocative images and descriptions of clothing in order to link sartorial self-construction with artistic, social, and political self-invention. Taking into consideration the vast changes in thinking about identity in the academy, Dandies provides a compelling study of dandyism's destabilizing aesthetic enterprise.

Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie '' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.
