Happy New Year! 2026 In Chinese astrology (starts in February) it will be the year of the Horse. (Until then we are experiencing the year of the horse's ass). We have experienced shocking events from the invasion of Venezuela, to the Ice raids in multiple cities and the horror/tragedy in Minneapolis. Do your best to relieve the angst, as ” this too shall pass”.
BroadwayCon is the weekend of 1/23,24 & 25! A great time is had for all! Meet RG there! (Check announcements for info in this newsletter and on our social media posts!)
We recently welcomed J-Lo & Cher, so cool. They always bring good vibes to our spaces.
Here are some basic Health, Beauty & Fitness tips to maintain your overall fitness and lower your medical expenses now and for the future “best” years of your life. Invest money and effort now to avoid future expensive health issues. You will never regret doing so..
If you wear makeup, remove nightly (use a make up remover cloth or wipe). Don’t use soap on your skin, use an organic cleanser. Don’t use hot water on your skin, lukewarm is best. Rinse with cool water after cleansing, then moisturize. Invest in high quality products now it will pay off. Use of high spf sunscreen in the summer and when doing winter sports, prevents your skin from wrinkling (and worse) as you get older. Fewer visits to the dermatologist$$. But do get 10 to 20 minutes of direct sun on your skin in the winter to increase reserves of Vitamin D. Positive activity: Every am & pm face your mirror, smile your widest, exaggerating facial movement, and say “YES” loudly 3 times, (reverses frown lines & a great motivational action).
Shower once a week (touch up cleansing daily). Saves water usage. Don’t use soap. When participating in sweaty activities, sports or dance, rinse off, pat dry and moisturize to lock in moisture. A loofah scrub once a month sheds dead skin cells. Wear clothes that let your skin breathe. Avoid clothes made with dead animal skins/fur, It's a downer/ not good karma.
Keeping your teeth (truly) is adamant to avoid lifelong expensive trips to the dentist$$. Before going to bed, floss or use floss sticks, use a water pic (invest in a good one) and brush your gums to prevent gum disease. Gently rinse your mouth during the day, flush food debris..
Brush your hair every evening and morning 30 seconds to rid your scalp of dead skin cells and hairs for better circulation and more shine. Clean your brush once a week and remove hairs from your brush with a comb daily. Clip dead/split ends every two months.
Create a basic quick but constant personal fitness routine daily. Stretch in bed for 5 minutes. Then do a 5/10 minute yoga or dance stretch before dressing, (purchase a yoga mat) Add a basic inverted posture daily to wake up your organs. Walk at least 1 mile per day (use a counter). Exercise mindfully at least 20 minutes every other day. Vary routines: include core, leg, arms. Do dance or sports moves and stretching, add a resistance or weights segment..
Don't drink soda/soft drinks or processed juices (only fresh squeezed). Limit milk products (creates flem). Limit your sugar intake in general (saves your teeth, bones & keeps the lbs off.) Eat mindfully, introduce/keep more veggies and fruits in your diet. Maintaining a healthy weight will save thousands $$ as you move through your career and life. Do not smoke tobacco or drink heavily to prevent heart, lung and liver problems & keep the wrinkles away$$. Sleep well.
Participate in life affirming activities and stay away from negative vibes and people.
Have a “wonder”filled year! Better & Better, Sincerely, Patricia Ripley
