Redefine your dream job. The best careers start with our big-picture passions, then adapt to our changing work/life needs and keep us excited and engaged. Finding a job you love starts with understanding what you really want and need. Identify your work ideals.

Try to write down why each made the list in one or two…

When we sat down with cover star Candace Cameron Bure to talk about her approach to beauty, one of the things I related to most was the fact that she feels stronger than ever, at 44. As she’s aged, she’s actually developed a love of strength training, focusing more on feeling fit than worrying about weight. I’m also proud of being stronger now than I was in my 20s. And these days, taking care of our bodies, our health and our families feels more important than ever. One of the reasons I love working at GH is that we get to bring you best-tested ideas and products to make our lives easier, happier and more beautiful.
