Going on a cruise indeed highlights your retirement life. In fact, it’s every American’s dream to join one even those who are not yet—or still far from—retiring. However, due to time constraints and of course, budget, going on a cruise remains to be a thing you do after you retire from the workforce. Problem is, cruising this late in life usually puts seniors in greater risk especially in terms of [...]

Healthy lifestyle and vacations don’t really mix well, if you are to ask me. If you are out there with all intentions of having fun and not holding back, is it possible to still remember you are on a diet? Or perhaps remember that old, trusty running shoes you have packed to start your day with a 30-minute power run everyday for the whole duration of your summer vacation? Even [...]

Indeed, traveling with your loved-ones makes a vacation more special than usual. However, vacations made with your grandchildren were the most memorable and it’s no wonder! Just imagine lively, youthful sounds to keep you going for more. There’s just something these little ones are able to give you—like an energy potion to make the most out of your vacations! Unfortunately, no matter how jolly we all are the moment we [...]

How time flies! I barely felt January and guess what, the next thing I know it’s already February—and a weekend too! Few more days and we’ll find ourselves thinking of ways to spread the love, either with our partners, loved-ones and even with people we barely know. Actually, I’m already seeing stores and malls sporting heart-shaped cutouts and cupids, even supermarkets are flooding with chocolates of all shapes and sizes. [...]

We, seniors, are all for restoring our once-green environment and as much as possible, we adapt certain lifestyle adjustments just to keep up with the advocacy. In doing so, we believe that somehow we are alleviating the stress of the human impact which apparently, Mother Nature is not taking it anymore. I say, we can’t blame her! Holidays are one of the occasions when we tend to forget our green [...]

After Christmas comes New Year and New Years clearly signify deep soul searching and assessment of your life especially what you’ve been doing these past 365 days. From there, seniors are compelled to move on from these things, leave them completely behind and start anew hence New Year’s resolutions! What I love about New Year’s resolutions is that they represent hope and actually looking forward to something. Another thing that [...]

One of the most common practices we seniors usually do during the holidays is reflection. Together with your reflection comes self check. During these times, we try our best to assess what we were able to accomplish and what we missed in our lives. After much deliberation comes planning for the coming year, including short and long term goals. This is done to encourage yourself to always look forward and [...]

Holidays are not only meant for giving gifts and exchanging cards. Along with it comes good food and unhealthy practices. While it’s quite understandable due to the jolliness of it all, we should always remember that keeping healthy still means a lot to an aging body but that doesn’t necessarily mean we must miss out on the fun! By the way, staying healthy is not limited to the physical aspects [...]

So it’s time for Christmas parties and your officemates have just appointed you as the official party organizer, what now? While party organizing may not be new to you—and must be the reason why you were dearly voted by your fellow coworkers—still, it can be quite troublesome to think of new and inventive ways to keep your party rolling. If you think keeping children entertained all throughout a party is [...]

Personally, the greatest place to spend Christmas is right inside your own home with your family and loved-ones gathered together. But, in some cases, Christmas can be the only time to get away from it all, i.e your tiring work and never-ending responsibilities. Because of this, we know how important it can get to find the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and capture that joyful feeling once again. Many seniors [...]
