BOTOX

Botox is one of the best known and popular non-surgical treatments for treating lines and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing and frowning. It is used to prevent the muscle contractions that cause furrows and fine lines when the face is in motion. In the experienced hands of our cosmetic doctors, Botox does not “freeze” muscles but is used in an artistic way to restore a relaxed and more youthful appearance to the face, lending a subtle lift to the brows.

Some television personalities have gone for botox in a big way. Have you ever been invited to a Botox party? They serve drinks and food and someone does the shooting.Is it true that it’s formaldehyde they inject into you? isn’t that embalming fluid? What I do know is that it contains some kind of diluted food poison which can sometimes interfere with your ability to eat, speak, or blink.

Some big Hollywood stars when they are up for awards or before they go on the red carpet shoot botox into their armpit to stop them from sweating and prevent those nasty underarm strains. Who started the swollen lip look? Not everyone can invest beautifying procedures. You must have deep pockets. many just get into their trainers and work up a sweat, trusting that their physical wellness will promote beauty, they exercise.

Less in more

Make-up(unless it is for theater) should be used to accentuate or diminish; to enhance, not exaggerate. Ladies, when those lines start showing, make-up has a tendency to cake and get blotchy. Eyeliners smudge, no matter how expensive they may be. in an attempt to conceal we sometimes reveal. Go easy. Use sparingly and please don’t call them wrinkles. I have learned to call them laugh lines or maybe cry line.

For those who have a passion for a nip here and a tuck there, here’s a word of advice. Don’t change what God give you unless you are willing to risk looking strange, even to yourself. I cringe to see a once-upon-a time beautiful woman ruined by a little too much of the scalpel, or whatever it is they use to sculpt the face or re-shape the body these day. Remember that cheekbones are in the genes and not everyone is endowed with a C or D cup.Saddlebag thighs can be corrected with exercise. And eyes are really never exactly the same size. God made them that way.

There was a time when jewelry pieces were used for embellishment and adornment. They were accessories punctuations made to effectively communication a well made fashion statement.Then came the Era of Bling, when men and women alike felt the need, the compulsion to deck them selves from head to toe in a blinding array of stones and metals. The variety as styles, applications and combinations made for interesting conversation, but it also presented a serious challenge to the notion of understated elegance.

There are so many kinds of jewelry out there that quality is just not enough anymore.It must go beyond expressing your personal style. it must make you happy. What is important is that, when someone wears a piece of jewelry, they must be able to experience these values. We want the pieces things that they were wearing.

After a C-section

Ask yourself, are the risks acceptable?

Attempting a normal delivery after a cesarean section ( C-section) has many advantages. The hospital stay is shorter; recovery is quicker and less painful. It is also more economical if successfully accomplished. For the baby, delivery by normal route after a previous C-section probably reduces the risk of developing respiratory problem after birth.
However,you do not qualify for vaginal birth after Cesarean or VBAC because both your previous C-section were complicated by pre-eclampsia (a hypertensive complication.).

What makes you qualified? The reason behind the previous C-section plays a big factor. For women who had C-section for breech babies, the success rate of VBAC is 91 percent; for fetal distress, it's 84 percent. If these common reasons for a C-section are not present in a subsequent pregnancy, you may attempt a VBAC. other conditions that may change in subsequent pregnancies are as follows: the presence of placenta previa (the placenta covering the cervical opening ), a big baby in realtion to the pelvic bone, or malformations in the fetus (large head, tumor in the face,bady,back,or even conjoined twins). If you are not experieceing of these in your subsequent pregnancy, and if your previous birth was normal, you may be qualified for a trail labor.

Are there any risk? Yes,you must watch out for the following:
* Uterine rupture. Greater in women who had a previous classical or vertical typre of uterine incision.
* Birth-related perinatal death
* Blood transfusion or endometriosis (infection of the uterus). Mother have around one percent additional risk compared with those undergoing elective repeat Cesarean section (ERCS).
* Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalpathy in the infant
The question thus posed to both the doctor and mother is: "Are the risks acceptable?" By the 36th week of pregnancy, the planned VBAC should be finalized and documented. If you and your doctor both find that the risk of VBAC outweigh its possible benefits, then schedule a planned repeat C-section. But if you decide to try for Vbac, prepare for a possible repeat C-section should the attemp fail.

What can cause a planned VBAC to fail? Certain have been known to decrease the success of planned VBAC:
* A success rate of only 40 percent may be acchieved if you had labor previously induced
* You had no previous vaginal births
* Your body mass index(BMI) is greater than 30
* Your previous C-section was for dystocia ( the failure of the cervix to dilate or the head to cescend).

Other factor associated with a decreased likehood of planned VBAC success are:
* VBAC at or after 41 weeks of gestation, birth weight greater than 4000g
* No epidural anesthesia
* Previous preterm Cesarean birth
* Cervical dilataion of less than four cm at admission
* Less than two years from previous Cesarean birth
* Advanced maternal age
* Non-white ethicity
* Short stature

how to talk to your doctor about Osteoporosis

Be honest about often you take your vitamins, calcium supplements and medications and be sure to mention side effects you might be experiencing. If you’ve just started menopause, or if you’ve having uterus or ovary problems before”natural”menopause, ask your doctor if you should get a bone-density test now. If you’re on medications to protect your bones, ask about blood and urine testing, which can indicate if the drugs are helping you- or if you need more powerful medicines.

Nervous about something you heard in the news, about hormone therapy, bisphosphonates or something else? Don’t be shy-bring it up! Ask for a referral to speak with a registered dietitian if you need help getting bone-ask for tips on fall-proofing your home and exercises that can help you keep your balance. Ask your doctor about bone-density testing and bone-protecting medicine if you have a family history of osteoporosis, if you have a history of prolonged absence of menstruation other than pregnancy, life-long poor calcium intake, if you’re receiving chemotherapy for cancer, if you’ve had an organ transplant, or if you use long-term steroid medications for conditions such as lupus, arthritis, asthma and skin conditions.

Caring to your Bone

You may not realize it, but your body becomes vulnerable to wear and tear as you age- especially your bones. Osteoporosis, also called the silent bone killer, put 50 percent of Filipinas at risk. As we age, bones get weaker and become more susceptible to fractures and injuries. Coupled with an unhealthy and inactive lifestyle and generic predisposition to the disease (Asian women are more likely to get osteoporosis than Caucasian women because Asian women’s bones are thinner), osteoporosis is something that cannot be ignored.

To maintain bone health, we need to improve our diet, get regular exercise, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol intake. We also need to load up on calcium and other essential bone nutrients such as vitamin D,magnesium,and zinc,making bone regeneration more effective. Get these nutrients by incorporating a glass of milk(like Anlene Nano Calcium) to you daily diet.

PRETTY PRONTO

Be your own makeup magician and conjure up a gorgeous glow easily with these express beauty tricks.

When you’re in a rush because you have to send the kids to school or leave for work, dealing with beauty mishaps-like puffy eyes or a cracked nail- can be a bummer. But creating time to make yourself present able is a must since it can help boost your self-esteem throughout the day.Whenever I make an extra effort to look nice even if it’s something as simple as blow drying my hair-I got through my day feeling more confident. And, if ever I bump into someone I know, at least I won’t feel mortified. To help time pressured women look fabulous before stepping out, we came up with these simple, stress-free solutions for everyday doll up dilemmas.

* DRY NAIL POLISH

When applying polish,let each coat dry before layering on another one to help prevent it from looking gooey or clumpy. Also, wipe the brush on the neck of the bottle to make sure you spread on a thin (not thick) layer for a faster drying time. Another trick to try: Hold your freshly painted nails in front of a fan for about two minutes, then dip in a bowl filled with ice water to set the polish. The fastest approach would be to mist your nails with a quick drying solution.We like Orly Spritz Dry, because it doesn’t leave your fingers with any icky, oily residue.

* FIX A BROKEN NAIL

For tiny cracks, applying a few coats of clear polish should do the trick. Once dry, file over the crack with an emery board until it’s even and apply two to four more coats of polish. if the tear is a bit bigger and you don’t have time to drop by a nail salon, get an unused tea bag and cut out a small patch that’s about the size of the crack on your nails. Then, use a toothpick to drop a thin layer of nail glue (or super glue) on the crack and place the patch on top. Next, flatten the patch by pressing on it with a thin piece of plastic. Once it’s dry, file the crack and apply nail polish as usual.

* DRY YOUR HAIR

Start by combing your hair with a wide tooth comb to remove any tangles. Then hold a dry towel with both hands and gently dab and press onto your stands to absorb excess water. Do avoid rubbing to prevent friction and static, which can cause frizz and harm your sensitive hair. Once your hair is damp,tilt your hair upside-down and blast it with your hair dryer set on medium heat. When the bottom half of your hair has dried, straighten up your head and dry the top half next. Just use your fingers to comb through your strands while blow drying your hair. Finish by running a brush through your hair for a sleeker finish then rub on a shine enhancing serum like L `Oreal Professionnel Liss Extreme Serum

Weight-Loss

You don’t need to exercise to lose weight. To maintain your body weight, the calories you expend, so the most effective way to lose weight is by reducing calories and increasing exercise.

However, exercise is important even if you are not trying to lose weight, as it also improves cardiovascular health, circulation and decreases your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Doctor have stated that it is better to be fit and slightly overweight than thin and unfit, as physical activity is as important as weight in preventing heart disease. And also drinking water helps you lose weight. drinking water helps to keep you hydrated and fills you up without any calories, but i won’t help you burn calories. Water works well in combination with a sensible diet and regular exercise. With high-fiber diets in particular, water can keep your gut healthy by helping to move things through your system more quickly.Reduce the foods you eat to lose weight based on a particular food or food type promise rapid weight loss in a short period of time, but only work because they severely restrict calories. These diets are unsustainable in the long-term and can lead to deficiencies since single foods don’t contain the range of nutrients we need to stay healthy.

How to Loose Weight Effectively

Most of the time, when a friend or relative started to grow big and asks for your advice, the first word that will come out in your mouth is “Diet”. They will anticipate with it right away. But your not sure if they will surely do an action about it or hesitant for some reasons like: they cannot give up the fatty foods their taking despite of the fact that it causes their bulges or afraid to try some effective exercises because they cannot endure it. So how can it be done?

First, they should be “Motivated”. Having a healthy body is a gift. If we acquire it, its a one way of a better living. Then the “Goal”. Anyone who wants to loose weight must have a goal. If you have this, then you are so much ready for the make over that you want to make. Third is “Determination”. If you are determined to start and finish a certain task, then automatically, expect for the best outcome. And here comes the “Discipline”. With this, it tests of how far can you do. If you will stand out or if you fail, it is up to you.

If you have achieved all of these, you will just get surprised of how you had managed your weight loss.

PLAY UP YOUR EYES

Want your peepers to really pop? Read on for expert advice on which makeup hues will make them so bright, sparkling and beautiful that all eyes will be on you!

the best shades for BROWN EYES




Champagne and gold Shimmery metallic shadows play up the tiny flecks of yellow in light-to medium brown eyes, making them look brighter.

Intense greens and purples Because brown is more neutral than other eye colors, bold shades-like emerald green and deep violet- add drama without competing with them.

Rich, smoky gray Deep, dark charcoal is a great choice for a dramatic evening look. A smudge of light gray along your upper lash line looks chic for daytime.

TIP Remember to keep your skin tone in mind. If you have pale skin, apply the bolder color choice with a lighter hand.

the best shades for BLUE EYES



Golder rose Soft earth tones with a hint of yellow work well for light blue eyes; they set off, but don't overpower, the delicate color.

Shades of brown From light suede to dark chocolate, brown hues make every shade of blue look clearer.

Gunmetal gray For a more dramatic alternative, try a cooler neutral, such as gray. Choose one with a bit of iridescence so it doesn't look too opaque.
TIP Sophisticated earthy color work best when they are polished and understanted. Apply on lids, from lash line to crease, and in a V shape along the outer corners for added definition.

the best shades for GREEN EYES




Golden beige This high-shine neutral picks up the bits of gold in green eyes and makes them shine.

Pale purple and smoky plum Purple is the ultimate choice when going for grabbing green eyes. pale shades work best for day looks, while bolder one make a great smoky eye for night.

Burgundy The red undertones with this deep, rich purplish hue provide a sharp contrast to green, making the eye color really stand out.
TIP if your skin is on the darker side and you're looking for a subtle neutral shade, choose one with a good dose of shimmer to ensure it won't disappear on your skin.

the best shades for HAZEL EYES




Tawny pink This subtle shade's warm, golden understones play up the yellow in hazel eyes nicely, which makes them appear lighter.

Dusty violet Purple is the perfect foil for the green hue in hazel eyes. Choose soft, plummy colors if you want to really sparkle.

Gray-blue and navy Shades of gray are the ideal neatrals to play up the multitonal effect of hazel eyes. Deep blue brings out the gold.

TIP Instead of the standard black, deep colors, like navy and plum, are your best bet for a smoky eye. Apply the shadow on your lid from lash line to crease, then smudge a little along your lower lash line. For a less dramatic effect, just line your upper lashes.

What Body Parts can Do

Human body consists different parts. Each part has its own function and work to help the body functions normally. Every part of it makes a good contribution to apply everything that our body implies us to do.

Our Brain is one of the most important part of our body. It is where all it starts. Without the brain, you cannot manipulate your body in normal position. It dictates every single move, from the smallest to biggest achievement that we make. It delivers its thought to the designated parts of our body to apply.

Then our heart. This is a very tough provider for our body. It pumps our blood to regulate and help us live. We should always have our heart in a good condition for us to stay healthy and have a better living. It gives us breath to stay alive and if this starts to malfunction, it causes us disability and sometimes, death.

The other parts also contribute a lot in daily living. Eyes for us to see, ears to hear, mouth to eat and lot more that even a 1 year old child can determine. Only, every part of it has its own importance and use. It gives support to each other in action to achieve the perfect execution that brain commands them to execute.
