Codes For Longevity
I am so proud to announce that my Great Uncle Phillip Schaeffer along with my Great Aunt Gita Labrentz, Ph.D finished the revised edition of:
Here are a few of Phillip's sworn-by health tips that he has implemented into his daily life. Pick up a copy of your own HERE and read about many more lifestyle routines that will help improve the quality and length of your life.
Congrats Uncle Phillip and Aunt Gita!
Living well beyond 80, 90, and 100 years.
I am simply fascinated with Phillip’s healthy lifestyle and warm personality. He is one of the kindest people I know – always smiling and happy; he gives the best hugs and always has something genuine to say! I've re-read this book many times and I love all the advice he gives about taking care of your body, mind and soul; it’s my go-to-book for tips on living a healthy, natural life. Phillip Schaeffer is a truly remarkable man with wonderful recommendations on how to promote longevity.
And as they say… “Behind every great man, there is a great woman” (love you too Aunt Gita)! You both did a fabulous job on Codes for Longevity.
-Take time to practice deep breathing exercises daily.
-Eating foods rich in anti-oxidant will counteract free radical damage.
-Embrace life with joy and enthusiasm. Positivity will help lengthen your life. Let go of stress (meditation, prayer, yoga)
[On a side note… I learned in a few bio-psych classes that your body will produce stress related hormones such as Cortisol and Catecholamine’s when you are worried, angry or frightened. A build up of stress hormones can lead to heart and cell damage in the body. You can literally make yourself sick from constant stress.]
-Get 8 hours of sleep
-Always stay connected to younger generations. Do not surround yourself with negativity or lazy spirits
-Keep up-to-date in everything you do…reading, technology, events, entertainment.
-Get involved in community activities; take up hobbies or college classes. Learning new things and helping others will ward-off depression.
-Laugh more and forgive freely, don’t hold grudges. You can alter your life by altering your attitude
-Use it or lose it! Increase your flexibility and mental activities (exercise, stretch, puzzles, math and music…)
-Multivitamins A 10,000IU, B complex 400mg, B6, C and E, pantothenic, zinc 50mg and selenium 400mg, D (1,000 IU) and multivitamins daily.
-Avoid refined foods and artificial sweeteners
-Eat Garlic = antibiotic cleansing agents
-Smile as much as possible
-Massage lymph nods often (neck, armpit etc.) they filter toxins and are sometimes concentrated and need to be massaged
-Avoid using household cleaners. Use natural products such as vodka or alcohol to clean.
- Drink 2 spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water 3 times daily (to alkalize the body). A body that is too acidic will lead to illness and disease.
-detoxify your liver and practice eye exercises to eliminate glasses.

Photos of Steve McQueen and Neile Adams by LIFE, 1963
"We went on a weekend drive, after a show I was in at the time. We were on a motorcycle, and there was a carload of friends behind us. It was freezing ass cold. We stopped for a bite to eat, and one of the guys said, ‘Steve, why don’t you let Neile ride with us? I can ride with you. It’s too cold.’ And I said, ‘No, I think I’m just gonna stay on the bike.’ Steve told me later, ‘That’s the moment I fell in love with you.' "—Neile Adams

Body Image
I wanted to let you in on a conversation I had the other day with a couple of my friends.
AJ recently returned from his week at Burning Man.
I believe that a large percentage of women these days lack confidence and have a weak perception of their own body image.
Margarita Tartakovsky, MS, author of Weightless, gives some helpful advice.
Things Every Woman Should Think About:
It’s not easy living in today’s thin-is-in society. Thanks to trashy weeklies, skinny celebrities and flashy ads, slowly but surely – the media and our surroundings chip away at our body image. Self doubt creeps in and many women begin to wonder... Am I thin enough, pretty enough etc. Whatever the case maybe, reversing our thought process and developing a positive body image takes time.
1. Consider the impact. Take some time to reflect on how your body image has affected other areas of your life. How does your body image affect your relationships, your work, and overall self-image? Does it prevent you from accomplishing professional goals? And if you have children, consider the message you are sending them about their own self-image. Does your little girl hear you complain about your weight or appearance? What might she think about her own?
2. See the whole you. Many of us rarely look at ourselves as a whole person. We pick apart our bodies and nit-pick at every supposed flaw. Instead, empower yourself to see the entire you. (Make a list of ten things that you love about yourself…internally and externally)
3. Change your mentality. Our society values a slim silhouette, smooth skin and perfect features, oftentimes at the cost of health. But when we change our mindset, we empower ourselves to pursue good self-care. In fact, it becomes a beautiful cycle: focus on being healthy, and do things that help you feel better about yourself. When you’re taking care of yourself, your mood improves and you look healthier.
4. Focus on strong female role models. Nowadays, we turn to actresses for our outward inspiration – how we dress, what we look like, whose arms, legs and lips we want. Instead, think about the many accomplished, strong women from history and today. What woman do you admire for her accomplishments, strength, character, resolve?
“Women of substance help us remember what really counts: the inner self, values, beliefs, morals, and the ability to love. With this insight, we may gradually see our entire female experience differently.”-Dr. Maine
The change can start with you.

What Really Matters?
“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken away from you.” -Oscar Wilde
What is most important to you -- what are your real riches? Are you spending too much time on things that that don't matter in the long run? How can you manage your time to serve the people and activates that you love most?
Hmmmm? Let's think about this together. What really matters in life?

Here is a HUGE collection of "Home Ideas" that I have put together over the years. These pictures were taken from various home decor sites such as West Elm, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Design*Sponge,The Nest etc. Prepare for the greatest and longest post of your life! Enjoy.

Such a romantic idea. A husband wrote this song for his wife and painted it above their bed.
I began collecting these pictures years ago for my personal portfolio and did not save the location of each picture properly. I do not have original citing information (besides pic #1). If you have a link for a particular picture I will gladly give credit where it is due! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the post!
