Baby Boomer Woman defines “Boomacious”!
by Lyn
Some of you have asked me to define Boomacious! So, I’ll try. Boomacious is a Baby Boomer who is so fabulously satisfied with him or herself that God smiles. A Boomacious one embraces her age, weight, aches and pains without allowing them to stop her show. She no longer cares what people say, and most of the time, what they do. She has learned to live and let live. That is Boomacious!

Boomacious!
by Lyn
I’ve decided not to saddle myself with the formality of a New Year’s Resolution. They put too much pressure on me and the first time I slip up, I want to call the whole thing off. Instead, I decided to just keep on plugging away, doing the best I can, and going to my organization’s weekly weigh-ins.

If It Cost You Too Much…
by Je' Niece McCullough
(Notes from Gen X)
When you expect to receive something in return for exchange of your services, you have just put yourself up for sale, and you will undoubtedly be disappointed because your purchase price will not be as high as you expected. Then, you will become resentful and bitter, left feeling the need to remind everyone of what you have done, or how much you have given up. -
Grammy Nominated “Trust Me” by Richard Smallwood
by Lyn
Please enjoy my Sunday Artist, people. He is the gifted and multi-talented, Mr. Richard Smallwood. I’m so proud of my big brother Richard Smallwood for carrying the mantle that God has placed upon his life. Richard has never faltered or stumbled in his purpose. His calling was to do the will of God in his song ministry and God has rewarded him again with another Grammy Award nomination.

2011 Holiday Shopping Pleasure
by Lyn
Most of today’s selections are from some of my favorite designers, Donna Karan, Oscar De La Renta, Stuart Weitzman, and Valentino. Evening bags are from the 2011 Louis Vuitton collection. I have to say that while the shoes are elegantly styled, the heel heights aren’t very realistic for all of us. On behalf of Boomacious women everywhere, I’m urging designers to make gorgeous shoes, just like these, in a height that we can wear all night.

Baby Boomers Newest Facelift Patients
by Lyn
Evidently, women are not alone. Male baby boomers, according to stats, are getting more plastic surgery, too. Statistics reveal that male facelifts went up 14 percent in 2010. Facelifts are now the fastest growing male cosmetic procedure. Other surgeries that baby boomer men are requesting include ear surgery, liposuction, breast reduction, eyelid surgery, dermabrasion, and laser hair removal. These statistics are from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Gone are the days when only male movie stars sought plastic surgery. Dr, Stephen Baker, a plastic surgeon in Washington, D.C. says “it’s the average guy who wants to look as good as he feels.”
Dr, Tenley Lawton sees the trend of baby boomers seeking plastic surgery as the fuel that continues to grow her practice.

New Dissolvable Tobacco (Snuff) Marketed to Women
by Lyn
You just never know what I’m going to talk about. I don’t know until I see something that resonates with me and makes me go, hmmmm! Recently, I read an article about a new product scheduled to be released by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. That product, dissolvable tobacco, will be aimed at women.
Dissolvable tobacco is not new. I’ve been familiar with it for more than forty years. In its former life, it was called snuff.
My maternal great-grandmother dipped snuff. [...]
