Description - Dominique Sachse 

Throughout my 25 years in TV news, and having to take care of my own hair, makeup and wardrobe, not only did I learn to be camera ready, but I also developed creative self-expression along the way. 

I believe in the power of sharing and empowering others to enjoy their best self yet. 

Here, it's not just about the right concealer and smokey eyes, although I love both and enjoy producing the latest in make-up videos. I also dive into questions from viewers about organization, confidence, creating a happy and beautiful home and getting outside the comfort zone, all while blending in a little faith and encouragement along the way. My plate is full, just like yours. I'm a wife, mother of one, bonus mother to five, career-oriented, charity-minded and wanting to make a difference. Won't you join me on this journey?

These are my top 10 tips to look 10 years younger and they are almost all free! Combine them together to not only look youthful but feel better as well.

Overview of the video

1. Add layers to hair, to add bounce and lift - go shorter

4. Exercise - cardio, weights
5. Posture - stand tall, roll tissue
6. Lose weight - cut back on whites - flour, sugar & refined carbs

9. Practice your Faith - Hope
10. Nurture your relationships

Cicret Bracelet technology is a blast!

 Hi Babyboomers

I'm coming back with a blast of technology!

They keep coming up with amazing ideas.   Not quite sure we want it or can cope with it but, nevertheless it's here!

This is the coolest bracelet going and will be very marketable soon.

Are we ready for this? And it's waterproof too.

Look what they have developed in Israel.

Forget everything you think technology can do. This goes beyond that!!

This will be available next year.

Are you ready to go grey gracefully?

Going grey gracefully


























Lately I've noticed that there are a lot more women who are doing just that and some look great, especially when combined with a stylish cut and fashionable attire.
An article by Shonagh Walker -  Sunday Telegraph, was headed 'Going grey gracefully'.
She suggests that "In the past when a silver strand appeared, we raced to the colourist immediately. Keeping up the colour on rapidly greying hair (I prefer 'silvering') is time consuming and expensive. The natural solution is to let it be, well, natural."
At least she is somewhat conditional and sensitive to those of us who are "just not ready to go there." (and I'm wondering how old you are, Shonagh?)
So then a few guys such as Emiliano Vitale from Sydney's E Salon, get up and say,"There is a swing towards embracing grey. It can be polished and flattering."
And then we get the list of the 'brave folks' who have taken the gigantic step - Dames Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. Even younger celebs, including Pink, Kate Moss and Lady Gaga, are having silver threaded through their locks.

The article then becomes practical and had some good suggestions as to how you can overcome transition periods, regrowth by 'reverse highlights to blend' etc

 I may have to eventually face this decision - just not there yet.

Mangoes are insanely antiageing




Mango magic

This dish was served to us by Alvina and Umberto from www.timeintuscany.com , not in Tuscany but here in Sydney when mangoes were at their best, and Tuscany is under snow. In true Tuscan style, fruits and vegetables in season are used in an amazing variety of simply delicious dishes.

For the mango jelly
makes 4 servings

2 ripe mangoes - peeled and cut (see
¼ cup caster sugar
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup water
1 tbsp gelatine powder
2 tbsp hot water
macadamia pralines - crushed

Place mango, sugar, lime juice and water into the jug of a blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the mango mixture through a sieve into a saucepan. Place it over medium heat and cook, stirring, until it’s heated through and the sugar is melted.
Place the gelatine powder into a small bowl, add the hot water and whisk well until the gelatine dissolves.
Add the gelatine mixture to the mango mixture and stir to combine. Divide the mixture into individual wetted moulds, cover and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours until set.

To serve, arrange slices of cut mango on plates, dip moulds in hot water and invert to release the jelly. Serve with icecream or Greek yoghurt if desired and sprinkle with crushed macadamia praline.

How to choose and cut a mango
The best way by far is to simply eat the mango after cutting it expertly as shown below. Recipes to follow.

Mango - Childers Queensland Australia- in mid January
it was so dry the grass was crunchy beneath my feet.
Two weeks later the area is in flood.

Mangoes - Noosaville Markets

Is it ripe? You can't always judge the ripeness by colour as they come in many hues depending on variety. The best flavored fruit have a yellow tinge when ripe; however, color may be red, yellow, green, orange or any combination.

Ripeness of mangoes can be determined by either smelling or by gently squeezing. A ripe mango will have a full, fruity aroma emitting from the stem end and can be considered ready to eat when slightly soft to the touch and yielding to gentle pressure, like a ripe peach.

Cutting a Mango can be a slimy, slippery challenge. The best way to go about it is to start first with a ripe, but still firm fruit. If the mango is too ripe, it will be a mushy mess, and hard to cut into pieces, though easy enough to scoop out for pulp.

Cubes

Holding the mango with one hand, stand it on its end, stem side down. With a sharp knife in your other hand, cut from the top of the mango, down one side of the pit. Then repeat with the other side. You should end up with three pieces - two halves, and a middle section that includes the pit.

Take a mango half and use a knife to make lengthwise and crosswise cuts in it, but try not to cut through the peel. Using your fingers on the skin side, raise the fruit cubes into eating or cutting position. Simply serve and eat the fruit or for a salad peel off the segments with your fingers. Or use a small paring knife to cut away the pieces from the peel.
Take the mango piece with the pit, lay it flat on the cutting board. Use a paring knife to cut out the pit and remove the peel. Some simply eat this section holding it over the sink as you eat.

For easy slices cut off cheeks as above then slice lengthways

Or using a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut off both ends of the fruit. Place fruit on flat end and cut away peel from top to bottom along curvature of the fruit.Cut fruit into slices by carving lengthwise along the pit.
