Senior Living Tips is the much talked about 18-year-old high school senior who started the Seventeen Magazine Project. She started blogging as a means of documenting her attempt at spending one month “living according to the gospel of Seventeen Magazine.”

Jamie claims that she doesn’t frequent the teen magazine genre, but prom season prompted her to glance over a few glossies. That’s what sparked her initial project idea, “I was surprised by, bluntly, how stupid most of these magazines were. I wondered if anybody my age actually followed these tips, and what happened if someone actually did follow all of these tips.” Wonder no more, because Jamie realized she could answer her own inquiry.

Summer Wellness 2010 will visit a number of major shopping malls over the 52 day DSS period. Popular centres included in the program are Dubai Mall, Dubai Festival City, Dubai Marina Mall, Wafi and Mercato.  Each of the individual mall’s activities will have its own theme and customers wanting healthy tips and a personal health check-up can look forward to a schedule of events that includes free health screenings, cookery shows, fitness demonstrations, quizzes, competitions, edutainment activities and consultations from experts.
There is evidence that reversing the shortening of telomeres could significantly increase lifespan, at least at the cellular level. For instance, most cancer cells are immortal in that they can reproduce endlessly because their telomeres do not shorten.

Jamie’s done some amazing reflecting via her blog on some of her findings in Seventeen Magazine, which she describes as, “a hair and makeup instruction manual.” Jamie is accomplishing quite the opposite of wasting time. This project has the potential to reach lots of other young women who make the mistake of following tips from mags like Seventeen. While her daily Senior Living Tips make-up routine may seem mundane and frustrating, the exposed to the truths found in this experiment are invaluable. What kind of advice does Jamie wish to give other girls who read 17? “Don’t.”
