Major congrats are in order for Miley Cyrus. The performer just became a part of the iconic Gucci gang. In fact, Cyrus’ Gucci photos are going viral today because she looks seriously stunning. She’s the face of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum, a new fragrance by creative director Alessandro Michele. Artist Petra Collins shot the video and photos of Cyrus, which might be why they’re the best we’ve seen of the star. (Collins is seriously talented!)

“Miley Cyrus is an artist with a spirit that is both rock ‘n’ roll and eclectic at the same time. I admire her and I think she will perfectly embody the new Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia fragrance and story,” Michele said in a statement. The triple-threat herself is just as excited about the new gig.

“@gucci and I have felt like family for a long time in our collaborations which have always revolved around vibrant color, self-expression & unapologetic contradiction,” she wrote on Instagram. “Being tough in a soft environment or still in a chaotic moment. #FloraFantasy is being who you are.”

Flora Gorgeous Gardenia will be available starting July 30 on the brand’s website and from August 1 in selected Gucci stores, retailers and perfumeries worldwide. Cyrus joins A-list talent including Harry Styles, who is a longtime ambassador of the brand and the face of the Gucci Mémoire d’une Odeur campaign.

We’ll update you as soon as we have more details on Cyrus-fronted fragrance. We can’t wait to see the bottle.

What gets you out of bed in the morning? Do you do it because you “have” to, as in, it’s what one does, or is it because you can’t wait to return to something you absolutely love to do?

How you answer this question has a surprising impact on your longevity. In recent research conducted over a period of 14 years, people who had a sense of purpose in their lives experienced a 15 percent less risk of dying as compared to those who felt relatively aimless in their lives.

What’s most exciting about this research is that it didn’t matter when people found that purpose – that whatever-it-was that gave their life meaning.

A person who discovered a passion for painting in their 70s benefited from additional longevity in the same way as the person who’d been painting up a storm since their 20s.

Now that’s worth thinking about. We often attribute the meaningfulness of our lives to our work/career, or to our family. But what happens when you retire from the work world, your family ends up on the other side of the country or planet, or you didn’t have grandchildren despite your fondest hopes?

You have a choice. You can take it upon yourself to discover a passion, something that gives renewed vigor and meaning to your life, or you can resign yourself to boredom and stagnation with its inevitable decline into poor health and early demise.

How to Find Your Passion

Often, the easiest route to find your passion is to think back to what you enjoyed doing in your youth but had to set aside for reasons of work and family commitments.

A dear friend of mine, who had a stellar career as a trial lawyer, formed a rock band with like-minded retirees, all in their 70s. Sure, they play for their own enjoyment.

Any performances are generally for free at senior centers, “concerts in the park,” and other public venues. They don’t mind. Playing their instruments and playing together is what fuels their joy.

The seniors I’ve researched through the years have found a variety of passions – painting, volunteering at places from museums to hospitals, swimming, running, dancing, quilting, writing, and on and on.

Elisa Costantini, for example, was aimless after the death of her beloved husband and slipping into a deep depression. Knowing how much she had enjoyed cooking throughout her life, her son Frank nudged Elisa in the direction of collecting some of her wonderful recipes.

With his encouragement, Elisa not only gathered her recipes but wrote a cookbook at age 78. She’d never written anything before. This project gave her life such a renewed purpose that Elisa went on at 80 to write and publish a second cookbook, “Italian Moms: Something Old, Something New.”

If there’s nothing in your younger days that appeals to you, look around at what other people are doing, regardless of their age. Just about any activity can be adjusted to suit your physical capabilities, be that scuba diving, playing tennis, or mountain climbing – although, be sure to check with your physician first.

Learning is geared to all ages. Learning a language, a craft, a skill can be adapted to your means and resources. Once you start deliberately exploring and noticing what other people love to do, you will find something – or many things – that pique your interest.

Just Do It

Of course, you actually have to get up, get out, and do it. You may need to stick with something for a while before you realize its true joy.

Many times, starting with one activity leads you to another that you find even more rewarding. Group classes are a great way to discover whether you like something enough to pursue it.

Persist

Look upon uncovering your new purpose, your passion, as an adventure. That sense of adventure alone will draw you towards finding new meaning, and with that, a longer lease on a happy life.

What fun activity did you restart after 60 that you had put aside because of family or work commitments? Are you passionate about something now that you would have never considered 10 years ago? What did you do to find your passion?

Health care fraud is a serious crime. Victims can suffer long-lasting emotional and financial effects. Yet every year, scammers ramp up their efforts, especially targeting senior citizens around Medicare’s fall Annual Enrollment Period. However, you should remain vigilant all year.

In addition to disrupting the lives of Medicare beneficiaries, insurance fraud also hurts the economy. According to the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association, health care scams cost Medicare nearly $70 billion annually.

Sadly, hackers prey on unsuspecting victims over the phone and in person. Their sneaky tactics can go unnoticed unless you know what to look out for. In this article, you’ll learn the facts of Medicare fraud, how to report it, and ways to protect your identity.

How to Spot Medicare Fraud

Medicare fraud occurs when Medicare gets billed for a service or supplies it never authorized. Fraud is easy to detect once you know the red flags. Receiving a phone call from Medicare is the biggest giveaway that someone is trying to scam you. Medicare will never call you over the phone unless you called first and requested a callback.

It’s also uncommon for the Social Security Administration to contact you unless they need more information for an SSA application. In most cases, if the agency needs to speak with you, they’ll mail you an official letter requesting a phone interview.

Other Signs to Look Out For

If you get a knock on the door from someone who claims to be a Medicare representative, it’s a scam. Medicare never makes house visits to request personal information or sell products and services.

Once enrolled, all beneficiaries receive Medicare cards, also called red, white, and blue cards, in the mail. They don’t expire, so be wary if you’re notified that you need a new one. If you actually need a replacement card, contact the Social Security Administration.

Once hackers take hold of your personal information, it can interrupt your medical care and affect you financially. Consequently, according to the FBI, health care fraud can lead to higher insurance premiums, taxes, and pointless medical procedures.

Protecting Your Personal Information

Always trust your instincts. If an encounter doesn’t seem legitimate, it may not be. Medicare fraud can happen to anyone. Following these simple steps can lower your chances of falling victim to a scam:

• Keep personal accounts private, including credit card numbers and bank accounts.
• Keep copies of all your medical payments, claims, and other health care-related records.
• Never disclose personal or financial information over the phone unless you’ve given that person permission to contact you.
• Only share personal information with doctors, insurers, and others in your Medicare network.

If you receive a call from Medicare, immediately take down the number, gather the necessary information from above, then hang up. Learn more ways to safeguard your personal information by visiting IdentityTheft.gov.

How to Stop Medicare Phone Calls

If you’re getting calls from people claiming to be from Medicare, act immediately. Add your telephone number to the Federal Trade Commission’s Do Not Call List to stop future calls. Call 1-888-382-1222 from the number you’d like to add to the Do Not Call list. If the calls continue, file a complaint online.

How to Report Medicare Fraud

You can report suspected Medicare fraud by visiting the FTC Complaint Assistant. You can also call Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Medicare suggests having the following information before you file a claim:

#1: Your Medicare number (you can find it on your red, white, and blue card)

#2: The date and nature of the call if it happened over the phone

#3: The product or service in question

#4: The dollar amount in question if the caller requested compensation

#5: Any other information that could be useful to Medicare

Remember, anyone could be a victim of identity theft. Scammers are always active, especially during the fall Annual Enrollment Period. If you believe you’ve been scammed, file a complaint or contact Medicare right away. You could potentially protect others from having their identity stolen.

Have you been contacted by someone claiming to be a Medicare representative? What did you do? Have you ever reported a scam? Has anyone tried to sell you Medicare coverage over the phone? Please share your experience and stories!

Lisa Barlow’s Black Cutout Top and Jeans on Instagram

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City 2021 Instagram Fashion

Okay I am obsessed with Lisa Barlow’s black cutout top and jeans. Mostly because it’s kind of punk rock chic and it makes her look like a total bada**. But a little part of me loves it because of the concept of the outfit. I mean I have been unbuttoning my pants after big meals for years and now it’s a trendy style?! HERE FOR IT! I will be doing it all the time except I won’t have to hide it. Or maybe for the sake of the public I’ll just order smaller meals a Style Stealer of this outfit instead.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess
