Everyone loves shopping, but sometimes, you want someone you trust to do the shopping *for* you. And truth be told, there’s nothing more exciting than an unexpected gift (especially when it arrives in the mail). That’s where Astrology Zone’s beauty box comes in. In collaboration with The Beauty Season, this box was tailored to each of the four elements by celebrity astrologer Susan Miller, making it that much more special.

If you’ve always wanted an astrologer for your inner shopaholic, look no further than these beauty boxes, which are aptly titled “The Cosmic Collection”. After all, Susan Miller—aka Astrology Zone—has picked out several of the latest hair, health, makeup, wellness and beauty products with each of the four elements in mind. Even though each box is valued at more than $253, they’re available for purchase at just $40. And because the stars and planets are involved, each box will include exclusive astrological content by Susan Miller that forecasts until the beginning of Spring 2023.

In a nutshell, astrology can always be broken down into four specific elements: fire, earth, air and water. That means this is a great way to decide which box to get, as you’ll probably want to choose the one that aligns with the element that represents your zodiac sign. And if you’re searching for the perfect birthday gift, this is a magical option, as this beauty box speaks not only to what we all love, but who we all are.

However, let’s not forget that your birth chart may show that you contain influence from more than one element, which means you have every right to purchase all four boxes! Here’s what each of them offers:

As rates of dementia, including Alzheimer’s rise, the sad news is that promising drug treatments have ultimately proven to be a false hope as clinical trials have repeatedly shown little impact of effectiveness. So how can we hold dementia at bay without pharmaceuticals? Here are some tips.

First, for context, in talking to neurologists, the focus of these drugs have been on the plaques that cause tangles in the brain. There is growing evidence that multiple factors contribute to the development of the disease. These include brain inflammation and conditions that relate to diabetes. The bottom line is that effective drugs are years away, and we need to take matters into our own hands.

Where to Start?

Well, the answer is so simple as to be silly – diet and exercise. You have heard it all before. But let’s put in some new light.

We all know that processed foods are not healthy. They increase our risk for obesity, heart and circulation problems, diabetes and cancer.

A new study says that eating ultra-processed foods for more than 20% of your daily calorie intake every day could set you on the road to cognitive decline. Experts, of course, recommend a Mediterranean diet. Plant-based foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, are the foundation of the diet.

Bottom line, we have to eat healthier and here is something that should scare everyone – ultra-processed foods now account for two-thirds of calories in the diets of children and teens. So, putting older adults aside, look what we are doing as a society when we eat this stuff. We are already setting up our children for health issues and future development of cognitive issues.

What About the Exercise Part of This?

Data from the longest-ever phase 3 trial of exercise on cognition released at the Alzheimer’s conference this month found that exercise may stall cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients. 

Three hundred patients in the trial – by Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study in partnership with Wake Forest and the YMCA – were randomized. Some people undertook intense aerobic training while others were confined to stretching, balance and range of motion for 18 months.

The results?

Neither group showed 12-month declines in cognitive tests.

So, exercise not only reduces dementia risk. It reduces your risk of other diseases as well.

Blue Zone Behavior

The last thing I would mention is that people should research what are called Blue Zones. The people who live in the Blue Zones – five regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the U.S. – researchers have identified as having the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world. Here are their behaviors.

They Move Naturally

They live in environments that nudge them into moving without thinking about it.

They Have Purpose

It adds up to seven years of extra life.

They De-Stress

Stress leads to chronic inflammation. Some pray, take naps and even do happy hour.

They Stop Eating When Full

They don’t wait to get the ‘stuffed’ signal at mealtime. Instead, they stop eating when their stomachs are 80 percent full.

They Eat a Plant-Based Diet

Beans are the cornerstone of most centenarian diets. Meat is eaten on average only five times per month. And people in all blue zones (except Adventists) drink alcohol moderately and regularly.

They Have a Sense of Community

Most belong to some faith-based community. Denomination doesn’t matter. Research shows that attending faith-based services four times per month will add 4-14 years of life expectancy.

They Put Loved Ones First

Successful centenarians in the blue zones put their families first. This means keeping aging parents and grandparents nearby or in the home; commit to a life partner and invest in their children with time and love.

They Belong to the Right Tribe

They have social circles that support healthy behaviors. Relatives and friends are very important in these communities.

There you have it. A little bit of common sense, discipline and maybe some hard work can’t hurt when it comes to health behaviors and warding off cognitive decline.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Are you trying to make the most of everyday life? Which of these eight lifestyle points of centenarians do you follow? What is lacking in your daily routine that might attribute to cognitive decline?

If you have pretty sensitive skin, you may have avoided using retinoids in your regimen out of fear of stressing out your complexion. But that’s where retinol alternatives are all the rage; they bring similar anti-aging benefits without irritation, peeling or redness. Whether you’re trying to find a loophole around the possible side effects of retinol, or are simply new to the usage of potent ingredients, products like Three Ships Dream Bio-Retinol + Shorea Butter Night Cream can be an effective resort. 

In fact, the skin-perfecting cream has already sold out five times for its fast-acting capabilities—luckily, for existing fans and newbies alike, it just restocked on the brand’s site. Here’s why you’ll want to act fast: The night cream features 100 percent natural ingredients that are sourced from around the world to deeply nourish, protect and rejuvenate aging complexions. 

Three Ships Beauty

Three Ships Dream Cream

The star ingredient, bio-retinol, is a safe, stable, plant-based alternative to anti-aging retinoids and brings just as notable changes, even to those with unpredictable skin. Extracted from a flower native to South America called Bidens Pilosa, the additive quickly addresses signs of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, acne and uneven texture. Per the brand, “the bio-retinol is a plant compound that exhibits similar properties that traditional retinoids would, but without the side effects. It is pregnancy safe, great for all skin types, and can be used daily.”

But bio-retinol doesn’t bring successful results to the skin all on its own; other key ingredients include shorea butter, a vitamin and essential fatty acid-rich additive that is just as hydrating as shea butter yet not as heavy on the skin, alongside squalane, which heals damaged moisture barriers and provides a shield against external pollutants and aggressors.

Considering the product’s five-time sell-out, it’s no wonder it has plenty of glowing reviews. One shopper wrote that it “changed their skin so much,” and that they even “saw results within a week.” Another called it their “nightly staple,” writing “this is gentle but effective on my 50 year-old skin. I am on my second jar now and will not go without it. It is made with quality ingredients and feels amazing!”

Make sure to grab a Dream Night Cream for yourself before it sells out for a sixth time.
