THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL 20 www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com April 2018 Michelle’s Place Patient Navigator Receives Certified Breast Care Nurse Credential Things That Age You Healthy Living by Tina Monique M. Gottlieb, deGroot D.C. Our choice of clothing and cosmetics can have a big impact on how old we appear. While fashion and makeup can certainly highlight your sense of style and compliment your best features, they can also do the opposite if we’re not careful. We don’t always update our fashion and beauty routines as we get older and that can date us. Here are some common mistakes and beauty blunders to avoid. • Over accessorizing – when you have too many accessories you may think you look more put together, but it’s possible it just looks messy and outdated. Listen to the words of Coco Chanel when she said, “When accessorizing always take off the last thing you put on.” • Tights – some women have had nude tights as a staple in their closets for years, but that’s no longer a good look. They rarely match your skin tone and give an unflattering matte look to your legs. It’s time to toss them. • Wearing heavy black eye liner – dark, harsh eye makeup draws attention to fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. So those generally unnoticeable fine lines are now what everyone is looking at. Opt for a softer shadow look and brown pencil liner lightly applied. • Super long hair – many times we see pictures of young beautiful women with long flowing locks and think that’s what we need to look younger. This couldn’t be further from the truth. As you age you lose fat in your face which tends to make the face look longer and less plump. When you where long straight hair it can make your face look even more drawn. Ask your hair stylist what they would recommend. • Not dressing for your body shape – wearing baggy clothes, a boxy unflattering jacket, or a skirt that’s too short are just some of the ways people can dress inappropriately for their body type. I always recommend getting clothes tailored, especially if it’s a nice blazer or an expensive item you will be wearing a lot. It can take years off! Sometimes all it takes is being aware of some old habits we may not realize age us. You can make simple changes that make a huge difference!

Michelle’s Place is thrilled to announce patient navigator, Jessica Young, RN, OCN, has successfully met all eligibility requirements prescribed by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC), and is thereby certified in breast cancer nursing and granted permission to use the designation Certified Breast Care Nurse and the “CBCN®” credential. As a registered nurse, Jessica found her passion in oncology nursing in 1991 and focused primarily on breast cancer since 2005. She was in the first group of oncology nurses to fulfill the requirements and take the Breast Cancer Care Nurse certification test in 2009.

With a jampacked schedule and no time to exercise, you’ll just have to give up, right? Wait! While you might find it impossible to spend two hours per day at the gym, being busy does not equal a free pass to an exercise-free life! You can still exercise, burn some calories, and feel better about yourself in as little as 30 minutes per day. Try the following exercises on your lunch break, and you can burn 100 calories or more in half an hour. Vinyasa yoga. Also called “flow yoga”, this is the form of yoga in which you move smoothly and quickly from one pose (asana) to another.

When you picture running for exercise, you probably think of your neighbor who gets up at 5 am every morning to run five miles. While that’s admirable, not everyone is interested in doing that. The good news is, you can take a very slow jog on your lunch break and burn 100 calories or more in just ten minutes or so.

If your company has a gym, or there’s one nearby, take advantage of it on your lunch break. As we said, you don’t have to spend hours there in order to see results.
