How to Live More and Regret Less

"If someone asked you what you do for fun, would you have an answer?" is a question posed inside the flap of Joe Robinson's book "Don't Miss Your Life: Find More Joy and Fulfillmen­t Now."



Fun adds zest to life!

If you need some ideas of simple down to earth ways to have fun, take a look at Twifties.T­V. Twifties are the fun people in their late 40s, 50s, and UP! We advocate living life to the fullest, and it doesn't have to be about expensive vacations in exotic locales, and other "forced fun" occasions.



It's about getting together and relaxing with friends and taking a hike, stopping to do some yoga stretches on the way. Or riding the zip line and canopy tour at the local ski mountain in warm weather. Or playing with your shadow on camera. These are some of the fun videos you can enjoy on Twifties.TV.

Twifties planning events with snow resorts and lodgings.

This is the flyer we'll be handing out at the Boston Globe Ski and Snowboard Expo in Boston on November 11- 14, 2010 at the Seaport World Trade Center, in Boston, MA.

Let's Hold an Event at Your Mountain this Season! With Twifties!

Hello
My name is Lauren Traub Teton. I am a snowboard journalist with SnowboardSecrets.com and SnowboardSecretsTV.
I am also the creator of "Twiftes" the FUN people around age 50 and up.

Twifties is a grassroots movement of people having fun doing activities
together. Skiing, Snowboarding, and Cross Country Skiing, are some of our fun activities.

Let's hold a fun Twifties Event at YOUR Resort or Lodging this winter!

The benefit for you of course is to get people to your business having fun, AND to get event Internet exposure about the event for your property.
The benefit to Twifties is to grow our visibility and recognition by working with popular partners like you!

What's involved?
1. There is NO COST to you!
2. We choose a date together and you email the info to your list of customers to publicize it.
3. Press Release: We can work together writing and issuing a press release about the event (OR I can handle it if you prefer. No charge of course)
4. We will post the event on TwiftiesCalendar.com and SnowboardEventsCalendar.com.
4. We hold the event!
5. We will make a short video at the event and post it on Twifties.TV
and SnowboardSecrets.TV. We already have 200 such videos posted and have received over 250,000 viewers. YouTube is the 2nd biggest search engine on the internet and it is to your benefit to have great videos of people having fun at your mountain on YouTube, especially when they are posted by a party other than yourself. Also we will give you links back to your website from our sites which are also of great value to you.

Why are we offering this?
WE JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN SUCCESSFUL EVENTS TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT
TWIFTIES AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT!

Twifties (Baby Boomers) control over 50% of consumer spending in the US, yet only 5% of advertising dollars are devoted to this group. If you look at your clientele you will probably have noticed that Twifties are the BULLSEYE of the TARGET of people spending money at your resort! So let's hold a Twifties event together, weekdays or weekends.

To see a video of the Twifties Winter Games held last winter go to
http://www.twifties.tv/videos.php?category_id=15&%20page=3 or just Google it. By the way, if you Google "Twifties Winter Games," over 8 pages of results come up, including coverage by NBC and sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.

Contact me a.s.a.p to work out a date for our event.

If you host USASA we may want to make it in conjunction with a

USASA event.

Sincerely,
Lauren Traub Teton

TwiftiesCalendar.com Debuts, & Updates

TwiftiesCalendar.com Debuts with Fun Events for the Fun People in Their Late 40s, and UP

*TwiftiesCalendar.com debuts with Oct. 17 adventure event at Catamount Adventure Park on the Zip Lines.
*Twifties.TV reaches 100,000 views on its videos.
*Twifties Costa Rica trip with yoga planned for February 2011.

Westchester County, NY October 11, 2010
Active events for adults is what the newly debuted TwiftiesCalendar.com is all about. Twifties are the fun people in their late 40s, and up. Twifties can sign up on the site for the email party list and be notified of upcoming events.

October 17, Sunday, will be the Catamount Adventure Party for Twifties. All (over age 8) are invited to come to Catamount Resort in the Berkshire Mountains, Hillsdale, NY, on the Massachusetts/NY line. The group will meet to spend a few hours adventuring on the rope courses and zip lines. An optional box lunch will be served at a discounted price of $5 in the tavern afterwards. The rope course will be $41 for ages 12+, $30 for ages 11-12 and $24 for ages 8-9.

Meet at 10:45 at the Adventure Desk in the main lodge. If there is light rain the event will happen. Heavy rain postpones to the following Sunday, Oct. 24. Please r.s.v.p to Lauren(at)Twifties(dot)com by midnight Saturday October 16. Full details on the Twifties Catamount Adventure Party are at http://twifties.blogspot.com/2010/09/twifties-catamount-adventure-party.html.

Coming in February is the Twifties Trip to Nosara, Costa Rica, for sun, surf, dancing, and yoga. Unlike other travel groups people travel in their own style with Twifties. Come down when and how you like, and stay where you like. Twifties will get together daily for an activity. Then travelers can spend time at their own speed, in activities with new Twifties activity companions, alone, or with their own travel companions. The idea is that the Twifties activities unfold organically.

“An open format is the way I like to travel and it works great, so I want to bring this wisdom to our Twifties Activities,” says Twifties founder Lauren Traub Teton. “Twifties activities are for independent travelers who might have gone to these places anyway, but just needed a little encouragement or some people to do things with to seal the deal.”

A Twifties day hike of the Appalachian Trail in Vernon, NJ was the latest Twifties event. It was a Twifties “Instant Event” that came up with very little planning, and those who knew about it and were available participated. A small group had a fantastic time hiking on a beautiful day, with even a little bit of unexpected adventure when a hiker from the group overshot the turnoff for the overlook and continued down the trail. A search party went after her and all were reunited. Beth Nolan, of BN Yoga led the group in some impromptu “Yoga Anywhere” in the woods and all descended the Wawayanda Mountain range stretched, refreshed, and grounded after the hike.

The video of the hike is at http://www.twifties.tv/videos.php?category_id=23.

Twifties.TV has over 50 entertaining videos of what Twifties do for fun, made by Ms. Teton. “We reached the thrilling milestone of 100,000 viewers for our videos last week!” says Ms. Teton. Our viewers solidly prove our demographic, with 50% over age 45 and 70% over age 35. 75% of our viewers watched the Oasis of the Seas preview videos, so it makes sense to assume they are an affluent market with disposal income.”

“The point of the Twifties movement is for the fun people close to 50 and up to regain their power and know that it’s ok, even therapeutic to have fun. Why are only 5% of advertising dollars directed at the group that controls over half of consumer spending? Apparently we are invisible. My mission is to make the aspirational lifestyle of a vibrant group of happy people show up on the radar screen, for the betterment of all,” says Ms. Teton.

EVOLVEFEST Music/Yoga Festival

I'm headed to the Evolvefest.org Music and Yoga Festival in Vernon, NJ, tomorrow.

UPDATE: Tues. Sept. 7
See the videos on Twifties.TV here!

I'm just back from Evolvefest. It was INCREDIBLE! Met great vibration people and heard awesome music all day and all night, in addition to spending hours on my yoga mat in a quiet and sacred spot with wonderful teachers!! I am breathing and flowing so much better after the Heart Tantra workshop. I am stretched out after Thai massage. I am vibrating at a high frequency after Gong Vibration Therapy. I am amused after sitting in a swinging chair where the Universe provided me Planter's Party Mix and then an instant spontaneous party with wonderful brand new friends. And at hearing an impromptu version of a Michael Jackson song karaokied by a member of one of the featured bands, when he wasn't onstage.
And love and light are flowing through me. Thanks Dave!!
Can't wait to make the video this week, and relive it all again!! Namaste!

Watch for details of the Twifties Trip to Costa Rica for Yoga, Dancing, and Fun that will be coming up this February.
And other Twifties Impromptu Parties that will be coming up.

“Baby Boomers Plus Fun Equals “Twifties”

“Baby Boomers Plus Fun Equals “Twifties”

Fifty is the New Twenty

New word “Twifties” gaining ground in English Language. Old is the new Young or
Is it really true that nobody older than 32 uses Paypal?

The new word “Twifties” meaning “fun people around age 50 and up” is gaining traction in the English language and on the internet. So says wordsmith and inventor Lauren Traub Teton, who created the word Twifties in 2008. “One reason we need this word is because I looked at the different photos representing customers and vendors on Paypal.com today, and didn’t see anyone over age 32! Is it really true that nobody older uses Paypal? Of course not. Baby Boomers and the lively Twifties subset of Boomers are just invisible to marketers! We have money to spend and time to do things, and we love to have fun. Yet the only people I see in ads who are my age are selling hair color and wrinkle creams and drugs for erectile dysfunction. Without a name, this group has no clout.”

The word Twifties was defined in MORE Magazine (hard copy) in May 2010, and accepted into online resources UrbanDictionary.com and Wordnik.com in August 2010. Twifties are the fun people around age 50 and up. The derivation of the word is "Fifty is the new Twenty. Twenty, Fifty, ...Twifty." Teton felt the need to create this word because the Twifty demographic is a group often wrongly ignored by marketers of fun products, who she says stick to the old model of capturing the 18 to 34 year old age group. Of the 74 million Baby Boomers, possibly one third to one half of them are Twifties" estimates Teton. By having a name for the group, we are defining it and giving Twifties a way to gather and find others who are living vibrantly and who share similar interests, whatever they may be” says Teton.

'Baby Boomers' was a great moniker, and it stuck, and described an age group in just two words, for the last 40 years. But it's tired now, and doesn't target the exact group I'm thinking of" says Teton. We should share our joy and knowledge in reaching this age and in fine-tuning the art of being healthy and having fun in our lives."

Being around 50 and up these days is far different than it was even 20 years ago. Teton explains that "the biggest birth years of the Baby Boom spawned people who are now 48 to 52 years old, and they are not sitting in rocking chairs on porches. Instead they are the bulls-eye of the target of consumers, controlling huge amounts of discretionary spending, and taking the time to enjoy recreation and fun, despite all the bad economic news. We should be recognized as an extremely valuable target market, have products designed that cater specifically to us, be marketed to in a respectful way, and see people like us in the ads for these products" says Teton.

Another example she gives is in the snow sports world. According to SIA, in 2007 there were 1.8 million skiers and almost 200,000 snowboarders over age 44. Snow sports gear is an extremely competitive market, and targeting this age group could be a goldmine and really set a company apart. “Yet Skiingmag.com doesn’t even allow subscribers to enter a birth year earlier than 1964” when registering on their website, chuckles Teton.

However it’s not just about spending money. Twifties are at a point in life where they know how to follow their passions and enjoy life without necessarily spending a lot of money. The Twifties Lifestyle is an attitude of living the good life, having friends and activity companions to do things with, and being self-actualized about good health, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Twifties is about a positive and rewarding lifestyle through attitude, and at all income levels and as such will be representing a portfolio of products that represent the Twifties lifestyle. The Twifties want to look good, and feel good, by taking care of themselves, and they want to share what works for themselves and find out what is working for others says Teton.

Twifties movement is a "grassroots movement of the people" and Teton plans parties, events, and travel for Twifties who she describes as independent thinkers, discriminating consumers, and adventurers. These people want to meet in real life, and enjoy finding activity companions with similar interests. It’ social networking OFFline in the real world, springboarding off the internet. Lauren Traub Teton is in discussion with several major social networking websites about building a gathering place for this group online where members can share what works and find people like themselves for healthy and fun pursuits.

Twifties.TV is her first Twifties website, and TwiftiesCalendar.com will rolling out by October 2010. She suggests that people sign up for the Twifties List, on Twifties.TV so they can be notified of the TwiftiesCalendar.com kick-off party, when the fun begins!

TV Channels On Line Invented - TVCOL.TV

TV Channels On Line Invented - TVCOL.TV

March 13, 2010 - Lauren Traub Teton, internet entrepreneur claims she has invented the perfect TV channel format for the Internet. The new TV channel software created by Ms. Teton is called TVCOL.TV for "TV Channel OnLine." Teton says "TV is new again. Three minutes is the new 30- minute show and 5 minutes is the new one-hour show. Telephones are the new TVs. And real people shown in video using products they really use is the new advertising, instead of paid actors pretending to use products they've never used."

"We need this TV Channel template for the internet now! Anyone who has over 9 videos posted on YouTube understands that they need an inviting attractive way to offer viewers their content in categories. Youtube serves the viewer by offering related content by other producers, but that will distract the viewer away from the target videos. We work WITH Youtube so your viewers have the option of also easily seeing what YOU have to offer on YOUR channel."

Teton and her tech partners have created TV Channels Online in an easy-to use format that let's the owner of the channel, group together videos or even text articles of their choosing from anywhere on the net, and categorize them to offer the viewing public on one site. Once a video is posted online, it takes 3 minutes to add it to your channel, and can be done from any computer that's online. See examples of TVCOL.TV at Twifties.TV and SnowboardSecrets.TV.

"The format is simple to use and available for licensing so that any person or business can now have their own TV channel on the internet virtually overnight" says Teton. "You bring the URL, we bring the software and get you started. We've been waiting for someone to figure out the progression of TV onto the internet. Original content and ease of use is it. Rehashing network TV shows from the 80's is not it."

Ms. Teton is the creator of: Twifties, SnowboardSecrets, Name One,TakingNames.com, Flexmeters.com, SnowboardEventsCalendar.com, SnowboardRegistry.com, SnowboardProfiles.com, realpeoplemarketing.com, OneTakeVideo.TV, and more.

For more info and to get your TV Channel Online up and running, contact Lauren@SnowboardSecrets.com and put "TVCOL.TV" in the subject line.

Ms. Teton has posted over 100 video vignettes on Youtube in 1 year and has received over 100,000 views. She has several "hit" videos that have gotten over 1000 views a day. And she has figured out a way to monetize her videos.

All this and she still has time to run 3 businesses and snowboard 30 days a year. She teaches her easy quick method of One Take Video that allows users to make and upload a video vignette in an hour or less. No expensive equipment or previous training or experience is needed to make videos this way.

Racing on snow for people age 50 and up happens February 23 at Ski Sundown resort in New Hartford, CT. Race, have fun, and model your best snow gear of all time.

New Hartford, CT, February 16, 2010 --Ski Sundown resort in New Hartford, CT is the hot spot on Tuesday, February 23 when the Twifties Winter Games will be held for older snowsports enthusiasts. Winter sports enthusiasts who are age 50 or better by 12/31/2010 at all levels of skill are invited to compete. Events at the games are racing in the Giant Slalom and Downhill for skiers and snowboarders. Cross Country and Snow Shoe Races with snow shoes provided round out the race roster. The price is $35 to compete. The Connecticut Ski Council is organizing the event with Ski Sundown. A hot lunch is offered during the award ceremonies for $22 subject to availability.

This year “Twifties” is the title sponsor. Twifties are the fun people around and above age 50. The Twifties concept was created by Lauren Traub Teton, age 53, who is a competitive amateur snowboarder and professional product namer. “Fifty is the new twenty” says Ms. Teton. “This will be a fantastic Twifties event. Anyone who is out on snow age 50 and up is automatically a fun person. See what Twifties are doing to have fun on www.Twifties.TV.”

About Twifties
Twifties is a movement of the people in their late 40s and up. People over 50 control 50% of consumer spending in the US, yet few “fun” products are marketed to this group. Lauren Traub Teton combined the words “fifty” and “twenty” to create “Twifty” as a handle for the lively enthusiastic people who are the target of the bullseye of older consumers, and envisions Twifties people meeting for more fun events like this one, Twifties dance parties all across the country and the world. And select Twifties approved products. Meet Twifties and see how they have fun on www.Twifties.TV.

Who is the most important person in your life?

Who is the most important person in your life?

by Lauren Traub Teton

When Beyonce Knowles was asked this question on 60 Minutes last night, her answer surprised me. She replied "I guess I am." Brava Beyonce for your focus and candor! And that policy seems to really be working for her. Last year she earned around $80 million and employed hundreds of people. She brought joy and light and beauty and fun to millions of her fans on tour and through recordings. She is living the life she always wanted and envisioned from the time she was a child.

Yet many of us think that society subtly discourages allowing ourselves to be the focus of our lives. Words like "selfish" and "self-centered" may be directed to people who focus on their lives first. "Selfless" shows up as a synonym for "unselfish" in the dictionary, but scratch below the surface and you will find that people who can help others must be sound and centered first."Selfless" is a misnomer and a wrong concept. If you are wanting and in need you don't have much to give others.

We should all follow Beyonce's beautiful lead and be the most important persons in our life.Not being the most important person in your life has down sides. Of course parents of small children and guardians of people who need help would do well to fill up their glass and then share. The airlines tell you to put on your own oxygen mask first. You can't help others if you are not thriving. Not being the center of your life is like driving down the highway at 65 mph while eating, talking, and shaving! It is safer and more beneficial to all if you focus on the task of driving, or the task of running your life.

If people strive to thrive in their own lives first, they will have plenty of goodness and abundance to share with others. Beyonce is a wonderful role model.
