With all the new fragrances coming out this year, which ones will you pick? The fragrance industry has been introducing over 200 new fragrances each year. Being a fragrance store owner, www.elitestop.net; it is very important to keep up on the new fragrances and trends in the industry.
In the last few years celebrities have been coming out with great fragrances including Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and many others. Celebrities have been changing the trends of the fragrance industry, lately. For example, if a celebrity has a hit movie or album and has a great smelling fragrance, the sales of the fragrances will increase dramatically. The more popular the celebrity is the better the sales of the fragrances.
The top winter celebrity fragrance trends of 2007 are Usher, Sean Combs, Gwen Stefani, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mariah Carey, Elizabeth Taylor, and Britney Spears. I chose these celebrities because of their great fragrances and celebrity status.
Usher has come out with new fragrance this year. Usher is one of the news celebrities to offer a fragrance for woman and men. Ushers mens collection, Ushers HE, opens up with verbena, pineapple and melon top notes. The mid tones are warm and sensual, with blue lavender, white pepper, and violet leaf. Vetiver, amber wood, black suede, sandalwoods, sensual musk and guaiacum wood create the underlying softness. Usher's womens collection, Ushers SHE also has great top notes red currant, pink freesia and apple blossoms. The heart consists of frangipani, apricot nectar, blooming jasmine and rose. The base is balanced with amber wood, sensual musk, cashmere wood and incense.
Sean Combs' new fragrances for women and men are Unforgivable. Unforgivable for women has a delicate blend of bergamot, orange flower, jasmine, and coco. Unforgivable for men has a crisp citus elements layered on top of a blend of wonderful herbs.
Gwen Stefani released L a L.A.M.B fragrance in September. Top notes consist of water hyacinth, violet leaves, fresh pear, and white freesia. The mid tones are rose, jasmine petals, orange blossoms, sweet pea and muget. The base is a sensual musk, hellotrope flower, peach skin, and frangipani blossoms.
Maria Carey first fragrance is M. Mariah Careys signature fragrance opens with combining a feminine veil of Living Tahitian Tiare flower wrapped in the aura of wet Gardenia petals. Sheer amber, infused with spicy, woody accents of Moroccan incense forms a seductive accord that embodies Mariah's sensuality, beauty and glamour.
Sarah Jessica Parker second fragrance Covet, was released in July. The top notes are geranium leaves, chocolate, Sicilian lemon, lavender and wet greens. The heart consists of honeysuckle, magnolia, muget, bois de cashmere, and a dry down of musk, vetiver, amber and akwood.
Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds has been a classic seller for fifteen years. The top notes are Amazon Lily, Italian Neroli and Crisp Aldehyde. The mid notes are Egyptian Tuberose, Living Narcisse, Turkish Rose, Living Jasmine and Italian Orris . The base is an Amber, Oakmoss, Patchouli and Living Sandalwood. This makes it timeless classics that provide a rich, warm, sensual finish.
Britney Spears has a new fragrance called Believe. The top notes are of guava pulp and golden tangerine. The mid notes have A delicate blend of feminine honeysuckle is intertwined with hints of linden blossom. The base is a dry down with a balance of sophistication and youthful spirit, patchouli aura is wrapped in a wink of sensual amber and pink pralines.
I wanted to mention a celebrity fragrance that has not been release in the US. Kate Mosss Kate was released in Europe, Middle East and Australia in early November. Kate has been doing extremely well overseas. I believe once Kate comes to US in 2008. It will do just as well. The Kate Moss fragrance includes top notes of orange blossom absolute, forget-me-not, pink pepper. The mid notes are lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony, and rose. The base is patchouli, sandalwood, musk, vetiver and ambrette.
Finally, I hope this helps out other people selling fragrances this winter of 2007 and early spring of 2008. Fragrance trends are very important to my fragrance store, in which helps me decide which fragrances to advertise. Which fragrances will you pick?

Men Going In For Plastic Surgery?
Women have historically been the race most likely to take advantage of plastic surgery. To the surprise of many, more and more men are looking to plastic surgery.
Men Going In For Plastic Surgery?
Mention plastic surgery patients and one immediately thinks of women. The names of procedures such as facelifts and breast augmentation, lend themselves to this assumption. In truth, women make up approximately 80 percent of all plastic surgery patients.
Of course, the above figure means 20 percent of the patients for plastic surgery are men. Given the fact there were over 10 million plastic surgery procedures in 2005, two to three million men underwent enhancement procedures. Obviously, plastic surgery for men is no longer a taboo or unmanly option.
Men tend to pursue personal enhancements for the same reasons as women. They desire to improve a perceived physical fault or push back the effects of time. The most popular procedures with men are facelifts, nose jobs, eyelid lifts and liposuction for the infamous beer gut. For obvious reasons, breast augmentation is not popular! Although the same titles are used for these procedures, the actual processes undertaken can vary widely from women to men due to the different contours found in the body of each gender.
So, why are more and more men turning to plastic surgery? There appear to be a few reasons. Men and women are both living longer. With this increased life expectancy, men tend to work far longer in the past and seek to keep their appearance in order. Even powerful men in the sports world, such as Jerry Jones [owner of Dallas Cowboys] have gone under the knife to improve or maintain their appearance.
As society faces the fact that we live longer, the idea of plastic surgery is no longer something that raises eyebrows. While celebrity men regularly undertake it, the rest of us are also getting in on the act.

Vilantae Prevents Acne
There are two very effective ways of preventing acne and neither of them has anything to do with "clogged pores." Topical acne treatments do not work. If you really want to prevent acne you have to do it internally. Why? Because acne isn't caused by dirty skin or clogged pores, it's caused by an overproduction of oil inside the body.
Because of this, the only effective way to stop acne in it's tracks is to slow down this overproduction of oil. There are two known methods for doing this and they both work very well. The first is the prescription only medication Accutane which is actually a derivative of Vitamin A. The second is Vilantae which is based on Vitamin B5.
Which is more effective? Actually Accutane is the most effective acne treatment. So why don't I recommend it instead of Vilantae? Simple, Accutane has many negatives going for it. First of all, Accutane is a prescription only medication that is usually only prescribed to those with very bad cases of acne. Secondly, it's very expensive. Thirdly, it has many negative side effects. Vilantae on the other hand does not require a prescription, is very affordable, and has no negative side effects.
If you have struggled with acne for a long time and you've tried all of the topical acne treatments then it's definitely time to give Vilantae a try. Vilantae is a completely different approach to preventing acne than topical treatments and that is why it is so extremely effective for most people.
Personally I suffered from acne for 7 long years and I tried every single kind of applied acne treatment I could find. None of them did anything! In fact most of them seemed to just make the problem worse. It was then when I had almost completely given up that I discovered Vitamin B5 (Vilantae) and thought, what the heck? I'll try this.
I have not made many better decisions in my life. It worked incredibly well for me. Within weeks my acne was completely gone and it has never returned in the years since. Not only did it prevent my acne, but it also seemed to make me feel better overall. And in fact some people take B5 Vitamins for other reasons.
Instead of having negative side effects, Vilantae actually has positive side effects!
The big draw back that many people have with B5 Vitamin acne treatment is the large amount of capsules you have to take but the good news is now there's an alternative to the capsules. Vilantae now has a liquid version of their product which makes it much easier to follow the plan and become acne free.

Caring For Your Wigs
There are a number of reasons why people use wigs. Some men use wigs to cover a bald spot or a receding hairline that resulted from hereditary premature balding. Some women use wigs so they can wear outrageous hairstyles and hair colors without subjecting their real hair to the risk of damage that such styling can cause. Some women, on the other hand, resort to wearing wigs to restore their confidence after losing their hair while undergoing medical treatments such as chemotherapy.
A wig can be made of either real human hair or synthetic hair. A wig that is created by an excellent wigmaker can appear as real as the hair that grew naturally on the wig-wearers head. No matter how like real hair a wig appears to be, its appearance can quickly deteriorate if it is not cared for properly. Just like real hair, a wig needs to be maintained to keep it in good shape.
Washing is essential to the maintenance of wigs. A wig must be washed after being worn around six or eight times if its wearer lives in a place where the climate is hot and humid. If the wearer lives in cooler climes, it is perfectly all right to wash the wig being used around 12 to 15 times. However, if the wearer is active athletically, does a lot of wig styling, or is often exposed to dust and dirt, the wig should then be washed at least once a week.
To wash a wig, cold water and wig shampoo should be used. In the absence of wig shampoo, gentle baby shampoo will do. A wig should never be subjected to harsh cleaning chemicals and detergent. Before washing, the wig should be shaken out or fluffed out gently. The shampoo is then applied to a basin of cold water; a capful or a teaspoonful of shampoo is enough. The wig is then left to soak in this mixture for around two to five minutes.
When the time is up, the wig is then rinsed in cold water. The wig should merely be shaken or swirled in the water, never scrunched or twisted while wet. When all the shampoo is rinsed out, the excess water may be gently squeezed out of the wig, but without twisting it. For best results in wig washing, wig conditioner may be applied to the wig. Afterwards, the process of rinsing it in cold water is repeated.
To dry a wig effectively, the excess water should be blotted out with a towel, and then the wig should be left to dry on a separate towel or placed on a wig stand made of wire. The wig should be air-dried. A blow dryer should never be applied to a wig, and the wig should not be exposed to direct sunlight or direct heat as well. Exposing a wig to any source of heat is always the quickest way to ruin it.
After the wig has become dry, it can then be styled using a wig comb or a wig brush, or even with just the fingertips. To create curls on a wig, liquid mousse specially formulated for wigs may be applied to the wig, and then the strands of the wig are gently twisted and scrunched to make them curl. To leave a wigs locks straight and smooth, applying liquid wig mousse and brushing it lightly is enough.
A wig can be cut and styled as its wearer sees fit. However, to get the cutting done properly, the wig should be taken to a professional wig stylist. A professional wig stylist should be able to customize the wig for its wearer.
Storing the wig is also crucial in maintaining its condition and quality. To store a wig properly, it must be placed on a wig stand. Placing a wig on a wig stand will help the wig retain its shape and form. Before it is stored away, however, the wig should be brushed or fluffed out using a wig comb or a brush made with wire.
After the wig is placed on its stand, it should then be covered with a hairnet. The hairnet is supposed to protect the wig from dirt and dust. The wig on the wig stand should always be kept in a place that is far away from heat and humidity, as well as free from dust. Protecting the wig from dust will prevent its wearer from getting allergies.
There are many reasons why people wear wigs. No matter what these reasons are, however, the important thing is that wigs should be taken care of properly, just as if they are the wearers real hair. A wig that is maintained properly for always will remain looking beautiful for a prolonged period of time.

Great Benefits of Natural Skin Care Products
Natural skin care products are the safest and the most effective means to maintain the good health of your skin.
For ages, nature has provided the medical industry with ingredients that have powerful antibiotic, antiseptic, or anti-inflammatory properties which are processed into medicines, serums, ointments, or lotions.
Natural dermatological products are mostly found in the form of ointments or creams, which are quickly absorbed by the superficial layers of the skin. They are effective against most skin conditions and successfully treat local irritation or rashes.
The main advantage of using natural skin care products is their hypo-allergenic character; they are proved to be very well tolerated by the skin. This is due to the fact that natural products contain no additives or preservatives and therefore they are very safe and reliable. In addition, natural skin care products that are properly formulated to match a specific skin care need often cost no more than their synthetic opponents.
It is known for a fact that chemically enhanced products may harm your body by releasing malign substances into the blood stream. In order to minimize these risks, you should consider using natural skin care products instead. They stand as a very effective and healthy alternative to all synthetic products.
However, the main disadvantage of all natural skin care products is that they tend to lose their properties sooner; they have a shorter period of life. Unlike products that are chemically processed and contain synthetic preservatives, natural products alter more quickly, and therefore you should always make sure you check the expiration date before buying such natural skin care products from the shelves of pharmacies or supermarkets.
Sometimes, regardless of their nature, skin care products only treat the effects of a disease, and not the factors that are causing it. Take acne, for instance. Skin acne is not always an infectious disease. It may be caused by hormonal unbalances inside the body and the unaesthetic aspect of the skin is due to the excessive oil produced by the seborrheic glands. In order to successfully treat this very common skin condition, an internal treatment must be associated to the topic external antibiotics. Well tolerated natural skin care products in the form of creams or lotions applied on the affected skin then complete the treatment by controlling the condition externally.
Therefore, if you have skin affection, you should pay a visit to your dermatologist first and ask for advice regarding the appropriate treatment. Natural skin care products come as an addition to the prescribed treatment, enhancing its benefic results. Also, it is very important to check if the skin care products you choose are appropriate for your skin type before using them.
Despite their successful use among the medical branches, natural skin care products are not exclusively intended for treating skin conditions! They are also very efficient for cosmetic purposes. As a matter of fact, the cosmetic industry offers nowadays a wide range of natural products that improve the aesthetics of skin. Anti aging skin care products are the most popular at the time being. Whether they are intended for preventing or reversing the natural aging process of the skin, such products are highly requested and are a must have particularly among women in their mid-thirties. Anti aging skin care products, as well as other cosmetics, satisfy the growing aesthetic needs of modern society.
Regardless of their purposes, natural skin care products are the best alternative for synthetic ones, and when properly used, their beneficial actions are quickly noticeable.

Hair Loss in Men Provillus to the Rescue!
Hair Loss in Men Provillus to the Rescue!
Over 50 million men in the US suffer from Male Pattern Baldness today and that has created a billion dollar a year market for hair loss products. If youre one of these 50 million youll be looking for help with hair restoration while preventing thinning hair from turning your head into a solar panel for a sex machine!
Provillus may sound like a Russell Crowe type gladiator from the Roman war flick, but in fact it is a combination of active hair replacement ingredients that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This hair loss remedy has been uniquely formulated to promote hair growth faster than Maximus chopped the heads off those guys in the arena!
Male Pattern Baldness is caused by testosterone, and specifically dihydrotestosterone or DHT in your body getting out of control and beating up on the slave hair follicles. The DHT and testosterone are vital for your body as it makes you the man that you are, but after you become an adult it starts to have some adverse effects and hair loss is one of them.
Hair follicles need a good supply of blood and nutrients in order to make good, strong hair. The DHT ties itself to the follicles and slowly puts a choke hold on their blood supply. It takes some time, but youll notice first of all thinning hair leading to bald areas as the hairs fall out and are not replaced. When this happens you will not be entertained!
If you leave the bald area untreated the follicles will permanently stop working and no amount of hair loss treatment will get them to work again. When this happens youll need a hair transplant, so its really important that you deal with hair loss before it gets to that stage.
Provillus works by promoting hair growth and hair regrowth where follicles have only recently stopped working. Unlike prescription medications such as Finasteride (Propecia) it wont upset your bodys natural hormonal balance or make your scalp feel like its on fire.
There is nothing in Provillus that is not natural. Vitamin B6 works together with zinc and magnesium to help promote healthy follicles and naturally control the level of testosterone that affects the scalp. Eleuthero, Saw Palmetto and other herb and plant extracts that have been known to help cure baldness since Roman times are also included and these promote good blood flow and deliver essential nutrients for building strong healthy hair.
Provillus will also not cut your testosterone levels. As any gladiator will know, having a healthy level of testosterone is essential; it makes you the man that you are for a start. If you already buy Propecia you may have experienced some of the less than manly side effects such as a loss of interest in the opposite sex and man boobs! Many doctors who order Propecia tend to gloss over the detrimental effects that tinkering with your testosterone can have as they focus on what youre asking for some more hair please.
It pays to give side effects some special attention when you are looking at a hair loss treatment program. Many users with hair loss prescriptions tend to forget that there is a little slip of paper in there that outlines the side effects of using the medication. These may include impotence, loss of male characteristics (growing man boobs), and depression to more serious ailments such as blood pressure and heart complications. If your partner is pregnant she should not even come into any physical contact with the medication and that may mean you if youve just slapped some solution on your head.
You can use Provillus as a prevention treatment for hair loss if you come from a family that has a history of baldness (just look at your dad to see if youre in the same genetic cohort) unlike Finasteride, you can use Provillus to keep your follicles in great shape and reduce the risk of developing Male Pattern Baldness to begin with.
Provillus is simple and safe. It has no side effects that are going to make you come downstairs in the morning and sound like one of Emperor Commodus eunuchs. You can buy Provillus online and youll notice a hefty difference in the price of this 100% natural remedy compared to other brand name formulations.
Over 50 million men in the US suffer from Male Pattern Baldness today and that has created a billion dollar a year market for hair loss products. If youre one of these 50 million youll be looking for help with hair restoration while preventing thinning hair from turning your head into a solar panel for a sex machine!
Provillus may sound like a Russell Crowe type gladiator from the Roman war flick, but in fact it is a combination of active hair replacement ingredients that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This hair loss remedy has been uniquely formulated to promote hair growth faster than Maximus chopped the heads off those guys in the arena!
Male Pattern Baldness is caused by testosterone, and specifically dihydrotestosterone or DHT in your body getting out of control and beating up on the slave hair follicles. The DHT and testosterone are vital for your body as it makes you the man that you are, but after you become an adult it starts to have some adverse effects and hair loss is one of them.
Hair follicles need a good supply of blood and nutrients in order to make good, strong hair. The DHT ties itself to the follicles and slowly puts a choke hold on their blood supply. It takes some time, but youll notice first of all thinning hair leading to bald areas as the hairs fall out and are not replaced. When this happens you will not be entertained!
If you leave the bald area untreated the follicles will permanently stop working and no amount of hair loss treatment will get them to work again. When this happens youll need a hair transplant, so its really important that you deal with hair loss before it gets to that stage.
Provillus works by promoting hair growth and hair regrowth where follicles have only recently stopped working. Unlike prescription medications such as Finasteride (Propecia) it wont upset your bodys natural hormonal balance or make your scalp feel like its on fire.
There is nothing in Provillus that is not natural. Vitamin B6 works together with zinc and magnesium to help promote healthy follicles and naturally control the level of testosterone that affects the scalp. Eleuthero, Saw Palmetto and other herb and plant extracts that have been known to help cure baldness since Roman times are also included and these promote good blood flow and deliver essential nutrients for building strong healthy hair.
Provillus will also not cut your testosterone levels. As any gladiator will know, having a healthy level of testosterone is essential; it makes you the man that you are for a start. If you already buy Propecia you may have experienced some of the less than manly side effects such as a loss of interest in the opposite sex and man boobs! Many doctors who order Propecia tend to gloss over the detrimental effects that tinkering with your testosterone can have as they focus on what youre asking for some more hair please.

Those who suffer dry skin try to find out what can be done about it. No body loves either dry or oily skin. We all want normal skin. Let us find out about the causes of dry skin.
Skin- why it becomes dry?
Skin becomes dry for various reasons. The sebum on the skin is getting washed very fast because you might be over washing it. You might be using harsh detergents. The weather may be playing a role. Dry air will suck the moisture away from skin. Air conditioners and room heaters produce dry air and that is one cause. Many skin problems make skin dry. Psoriasis is one of them. If you have persistent dry skin with flaking you should consult a doctor and find out if there is any underlying skin condition that is causing this. Sometimes, your daily use cosmetics may cause irritation.

Tooth Whitening: Power of the Smile
It is said that the face is the mirror of the human mind. A beautiful face achieves results or good first impressions easily while the opposite provides an uphill struggle. Not surprisingly, our teeth draw in a great deal of attention and are a significant factor in judging attractiveness, so a clean, white smile can play a crucial role in how you are first perceived by many. Lustrous teeth portray our confidence and eventually help us to win the hearts of those we interact with.
Tooth whitening is a way of brightening the natural color of our teeth. This should be done without removing any of the tooth's surfaces and enamels. Enamels should not be affected during the process of tooth whitening as this may result in tooth decay and eventual failure, so harsher methods should not be applied despite their bleaching potency. It is not possible to make a complete color change; instead the existing shades are simply lightened.
One of the largest contributors to discolored teeth is the fact that we have moved away from the natural style of living and eating. The processed foods and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine, as well as habits like smoking and drinking, are continuously staining our teeth. Tarter can also affect the color of our teeth.
Tooth whitening, also referred to as tooth bleaching, is an effort to remove these stains and discoloration. It is an aesthetic dentistry technique to lighten pigmentation within the teeth.
Professional bleaching is the most common form of tooth whitening; hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is commonly used for this purpose. This liberates oxygen to the teeth and oxidizes stains and cracks, thereby brightening the tooth color. For this process the gums are usually first covered with gels, and special trays are used to apply the materials. Normally this will be finished within 30-minutes to one hour.
Apart from this conventional cleaning, laser whitening methods (also referred to as power whitening ) are regularly employed now. In this process, after protecting gums with a suitable cover a bleaching product is painted onto the teeth. This product is then activated via laser beams, whereupon the light catalyzes the chemical reaction of the whitening product. This teeth whitening method is faster compared to the aforementioned one, and is more effective too. It can make your teeth six to eight shades lighter, but even though it has these advantages it is a far more costly option.
With at-home tooth whitening options, the dental patient has the bleaching materials with them at home and performs bleaching treatments of their own. Be careful, because this method lacks proper supervision and thus requires diligent application. Whitening teeth with peroxide bleaching compounds has become an extremely popular procedure, and as such whitening toothpastes are readily available in the markets. However they do not affect the natural color of your teeth, for they are aimed at removing the stains in the teeth thereby giving a better appearance to them.
In dental clinic based tooth whitening, it is done in a professional way under total supervision. They start with examining the health of the teeth, such as checking the teeth for cavities since tooth whitening gels can damage the cavities in the teeth. So as the first step any cavities are repaired, then the teeth are cleaned of any lingering plaque. A tray is then customized to fit the client's mouth. This custom prepared mouth tray with whitening gel is fitted and kept as such for ten to twenty days.
The effects of professional tooth whitening can last up to three years. However, the life of the result may vary from person to person and the living habits of each person. For persons that have smoking habits, alcoholics etc., the effect is not likely to last as long. Such habits can re-lodge stains and cavities in the teeth.
A few side effects are often reported after the tooth whitening. Some people find that their teeth have become sensitive to cold during or after the treatment. To a few, discomfort in the gums, a sore throat or white patches on the gum line occur due to teeth whitening. It is found that these symptoms are not long lasting to majority of the people. Any prolonged problem can be the results of other factors which require immediate attention of a dentist.
As shown above, once decolorized, the advance dental clinics can restore or create whiter teeth for us, but this can be maintained or its effects can be delayed if good practices are followed. It is advisable to brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Excessive intake of sugar products are to be avoided. Alcoholic drinks and smoking habits are also not to be practiced, or at the least bit should be minimized. By following these basic practices, our teeth will offer a prolonged glow if supplemented by a yearly visit to a dentist.

Look Younger Now
Each of us yearns to maintain our youthful appearance, energy and good health free from disease and sickness. We look for help from the "discoveries of science" and "breakthrough drugs" or "elixirs" full of promise. While we have made significant progress in our understanding of the human body and of life, still we find that the vital health and youthfulness we're looking for is somewhat elusive. What we scientists have ultimately come to recognize is that the "Fountain of Youth" lies "naturally" within each of us.
As we take a look at nature and the lifestyles of earlier cultures, we do not find the problems of disease, sickness or excess weight that occur in our modern society. This should prompt us to see what these cultures are doing that has proven to work throughout time. For example, I try to live a more natural lifestyle in regards to diet (loads of raw vegetables), activity and exercise, environment, and pure distilled water. I incorporate each of these as much as possible, though not perfectly. Nevertheless, the result is a better quality of life largely free from sickness and disease.
Our SAD (Standard American Diet) of today unfortunately consists of highly processed "foods" that starve the body of nutrition and create difficulties for the digestive system, which results in colon problems. It's known in the natural health industry that over 90% of all human diseases and sickness are from a congested (constipated) colon. This also accelerates the aging process. Modern science hasn't and won't find a break-through drug that will restore your health. But they don't need to. The solution simply is a more natural lifestyle involving the integration of corrective and preventative measures over time. Let me mention a few here.
One corrective measure is to cleanse and detoxify the body to get rid of some of the causes of disease and sickness. This can be done by:
Drinking adequate amounts of pure distilled water.
Stimulate the digestive track by reflexology massage on the sole of the feet every other day. Reflexology charts are available in health stores or online.
Stimulation of the elimination process. There are several great ways to do this, but the easiest is to simply eat a large green salad (full of fresh, raw, preferably organic vegetables) with each of your meals throughout the day. Consuming 3 - 5 salads per day not only helps you look younger, but it also adds years to your life, gives you energy, and helps you lose excess body weight - fast.
If your day is too busy to eat enough raw vegetables each and every day - then simply find yourself a high quality vegetable drink.
Some youth enhancing measures can involve the following:
Start today to migrate your diet from processed and refined devitalized "foods" to whole, raw, organic foods that are full of nutrition and are easily digested.
Increase physical activity and enjoy nature with regular outdoor activities, or by integrating an exercise program, etc.
Take time outdoors each day to breath deeply clean, fresh air.
Be happy, smile often, and laugh daily. Sounds too easy, but eliminating stress is proven to increase health.
Nature has everything to offer if you are willing to indulge. Start today to make these suggestions a part of your new lifestyle. Enjoy good health and long life and find the true fountain of youth within yourself!

Women's Beauty Tips: 5 Surprising Ways Women In Their 30's, 40's, and Beyond Can Appear More Beautiful
As you probably know, beauty is anything but basic. There's an element of mystery, even "acting" about it. Here are my top 5 beauty secrets for Women in their 30's, 40's and beyond:
1. Tell yourself you're beautifuland keep telling yourself until you believe it! Humans not only perceive, but are also influenced by, each other's feelings. If people sense your self-hatred, there's a good chance they'll see you the way you subconsciously tell them to see you.
2. Rethink your foundation. Literally nothing ages you as quickly as the wrong foundation. Wearing a shade that is too pale, too pink, too orange, too dark too anything, really can actually exaggerate the scars, blemishes and spots you are trying to hide. Plus, the wrong color can make you look lifeless, while simultaneously accentuating wrinkles and furrows. Head for a cosmetics counter such as Prescriptives, or Becca, which specialize in finding the perfect shade and formula for your skin. This isn't a splurge, it's a necessity.
3. Stand up straight! Slouching sends the subconscious message that you are trying to hide. People won't see you as a great beauty if it appears you'd rather not be noticed. Further, slouching alters your gorgeous body and makes it look misshaped and lumpy. Stand up straight and your clothing will hang better, you'll look thinner, and people will treat you with more respect. Try it and see! (Your mother will be so happy!)
4. Don't wear eye makeup near your lower lashes. Mascara on your lower lashes can smudge into the surrounding skin, making the eyes look smaller, creating the appearance of undereye circles or bags, and giving eyes a fatigued look. So can eyeliner worn on your lower lids. Instead, concentrate on loading upper lashes with mascara. If you use liner, concentrate on the upper lid only.
5. Don't fidget. Beauty is about self-assuredness and poise. Fidgeting makes you appear flighty and nervous. It typically takes 21 days to break a habit. If you're a wiggler, make a conscious effort to reduce squirming for three weeks and see what happens.
Throughout history there have been beautities who could have been deemed too unusual, too plain, too ugly, too something to be beautiful. Yet these smart ladies have ignored what society says is beautiful. They realize that to stand apart they must celebrate their own unique looks. In other words, make yourself beautiful and you'll be seen as beautiful.

Celebrity Colorist Shares Insider Tips For Maintaining Beautiful Hair Color
Every season, women take a page from fashion magazines and update their clothes, shoes and makeup while overlooking their greatest accessory: hair color. Some women don't realize that hair color, like perfectly shaped eyebrows, can actually define a woman's look. While a change of season becomes an opportunity to experiment, it's important to not only know the basics behind color-treating tresses, but also the process of maintaining it.
"My clients are always asking how they can sustain color and keep it from fading," says Pantene Celebrity Colorist Rita Hazan. "I always emphasize that there is no use spending a lot of money to color your hair if you aren't going to follow the right steps and use products to actually make the challenge of retaining deep, radiant color effortless."
Here, Hazan shares some simple tips on how to ensure your hair color is rich, vibrant and healthy looking:
Lifestyle Lesson: Before making any color changes, realistically think about your lifestyle and how much time you can commit to maintenance and care. Adventurous types who are up for the challenge can consider making a more drastic change, while low-maintenance girls should probably aim for an easier-to-manage color process such as highlights.
Maintenance Must: To keep color from fading or looking dull between salon visits, proper maintenance is a must. Always use products designed specially for color-treated hair. For the 33 percent of women who complain that their blonde highlights turn brassy, try the new Pantene Pro-V Blonde Expressions Highlight Enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner, designed to enhance blonde tones and protect against damaging elements such as mineral deposits and dulling residues.
Extra TLC: Color-treated strands require a little extra care during daily hair care routines. Instead of rubbing hair vigorously after washing, gently pat it dry to prevent color from looking faded. Always use a rinse-out conditioner on color-treated manes and let hair air-dry for a few minutes whenever possible before blow-drying so that you use less heat and keep more moisture intact for vivid, healthy-looking color.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Hair loses moisture during the color-treating process and as a result women are left with thirsty, straw-like tresses. Try using a deep-conditioning treatment once a week to keep hair hydrated, shiny and healthy. Massage treatment through strands from root to tip and make sure to leave in for 30 minutes so that it deeply penetrates hair.

Surgical Solutions For Drooping Eyelids
They say you can see a persons soul through their eyes. Personally, I think you can see how hard they work by looking at the bags around their eyes and drooping eyelids.
Surgical Solutions For Drooping Eyelids
Drooping eyelids are prevalent in our society. The causes of this condition are somewhat mysterious. It can be attributed to genetic predisposition, allergies or the catchall condition of just getting older. A drooping eyelid can occur over just one eye, which creates an off appearance that can make people uncomfortable or both eyelids.
As time passes, our body undeniably feels the effect. It is natural that our eyelids will lose some of their high and tight appearance. Generally, this is not a cause for concern. There are two situations where you can consider surgical solutions for drooping eyelids.
The first situation is the cantered head. If your eyelids droop sufficiently that you find yourself tilting your head up to read, work on a computer or communicate, you may have a medical problem. In the lexicon of health insurance, this means your insurance company may pay for plastic surgery to correct the drooping condition. Regardless, the situation is impacting your daily life and you should consider doing something about it.
The second situation is simply one for personal esthetics. If your drooping eyelids cause you concerns about your appearance, you can pursue elective surgery to deal with the issue. Since the surgery is not a medically necessary one, however, your insurance company will politely refuse to pay for it. Still, your face is the focal point of your appearance and interaction with others. For many people, this makes drooping eyelids an issue that must be dealt with one way or another.
To address eyelid issues, a plastic surgeon is going to pursue a procedure known as blepharoplasty. Depending upon your specific situation, the surgeon will look to remove excess fat or skin and modify the musculature. In considering the procedure, you should sit down with your surgeon and view before and after pictures from his or her previous procedures. Do not be shy when doing so. Tell him or her what you like and what you do not. The surgeon can then give you advice on possible, reasonable solutions for your situation.

The Lowdown On Nail Polish Application
Nail polish is a solvent used to enhance the appearance of one's nails to give color. It can be worn on the fingernails or toenails, or even both. Nail polish dates back to circa 3000 BC by the Chinese. They are believed to have used a solution made of beeswax, gelatin, and gum Arabic; in order to have color, the Chinese would add mashed flowers and leave them overnight. In Egypt, nail polish was used to indicate social status.
Nail polish has since then evolved to have a polished look than just being painted. There are wide arrays of shades that can match to ones liking and/or one's skin tone; from glittery to metallic to clear. At times, men, not only women, prefer to match their nail polish with their outfit. Through the use of nail polish, people have found a way to create art on nails; people would draw lines or flowers or even use different colors on every nail. Apart from cosmetic purposes, some brands have showcased certain types of nail polish that promote, growth, strength, and prevention from occasional breaking and cracking.
Nail care is not only about nail polish. In fact, sometimes, you can get away without nail polish as long as you have beautiful nails. Nail care says a lot about your personality and on how you groom yourself. Aside from that, it can also build up your confidence, youll have younger looking hands, and healthy at that.

* Wooden stick pusher - as mentioned, it is ideal to make use of wood rather than metal since this is gentler to your cuticles. Remember to just push back after you have soaked them in warm soapy water.
* Cuticle clipper you will ONLY use this with hangnails and not for your cuticles.
* Nail file it is better to file your nails than to clip them because dry nails have more tendencies to break. Also, you have more control with the length and the shape of your nail with a file.

* Once basecoat is dry, you may now apply your nail polish. Remember to apply nail polish in thin coats. When you apply it thickly, the nail polish tends to bubble. In order to do this, sweep the polish brush against the side of the bottle so excess nail polish is removed. You may apply two coats of nail polish BUT be sure the previous coat is dry so they will bond better. You would also want to wrap your nails by brushing a little at the edges and a little under the nail tip; this lessens the chances of chipping.

The most important thing is be yourself. Consider also that short styles are more often associated with casual or sporty lifestyles, while long hairstyles are more likely associated with a sexy looking image.
Explain to your friends or your stylist what the exact look is that you want, and consider having a trial. Most salons gladly will guide you through many prom hairstyles until you find the right one, whether with hair extensions, up-dos, long hairstyles or short hairstyles.
Sexy looking up-dos, short hairstyles, long hairstyles, and even funky styles, prom hairstyles are a world apart to choose from right one for a stunning looking appearance on this special night. A balanced combination between your dress, shoes, accessories, hair, makeup, and the magic of a perfume, are a just a few points of attention for a gorgeous look.
Many great prom hairstyles are created in the salon, but that does not mean that you cannot get astonishing results with a hairdo made at home by yourself or with the help of your close friends to achieve the hairstyle you want. You can find a good source of hairstyles through online photo galleries, and also browsing beauty magazines and catalogs.
Decide on the style that best fits your personality or the special look you want on your prom night. Sophisticated, classic up-dos are always great to wear on one the most important events of every woman's life. Hair extensions are a great aid if your hair is not enough to design a fashionable style.
Prom hairstyles come also in long hairstyles and short hairstyles. You can always visit a salon if you are unsure of your choice, and make an appointment. You should call the salon at least one to 2 months prior to the prom to set your appointment. Many other girls will also be setting their appointments and you want to be sure to have yours. Jot down the date and confirm the appointment 2 or 3 days before the date to make sure nothing has changed.

Anti Aging Supplements - Fight Wrinkles From Within
Choosing antioxidants to supplement your regular skin routine is an approach that has been validated scientifically. A study by French scientists found that woman taking vitamin C, vitamin E, and betacarotene had 23% fewer new wrinkles, and a reduction in existing wrinkles of 8%. Antioxidants stop the breakdown of collagen and elastin by free radicals.
Foods with the highest levels of antioxidants, as measured by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbence capacity), listed from the highest: prunes, raisins, blueberries, kale, cranberries, spinach, raspberries, brussel sprouts, plums and broccoli.
Vitamin A is another important nutrient for the skin. A deficiency in vitamin A will reduce the effectiveness of skin treatments. Vitamin A is needed for the normal growth and renewal of skin cells. Our skin cells are constantly replacing each other, and new ones are pushed up to the surface as the old ones slough off. Not only is vitamin A an antioxidant, but it also nourishes the fat layer underneath the skin. Vitamin A keeps skin supple, and may prevent skin damage.
Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency include dry and rough skin, localized breakouts, fragile skin, wrinkle prone skin, poor skin texture, and splitting nails.
One thing to remember with taking vitamin A supplements is not to exceed the recommended daily dose, as it can build up in your body if taken in excess. Taking 10000 IU per day is fine.
Vitamin C is another important beauty supplement. Not only does it help in skin repair by building collagen, but lower levels of vitamin C in the skin are associated with aging and UV damage. Taking 500mg to 2000mg per day, in divided doses, is recommended.
An excellent antioxidant supplement to take is alpha lipoic acid (ALA), especially if you're taking the other antioxidant vitamins C and E, and coenzyme Q10. Alpha lipoic acid is not only an antioxidant in its own right, but it has the capacity to recycle these other antioxidants. Alpha lipoic acid is also an anti inflammatory agent, and improves insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with obesity and heart disease. ALA increases the rate at which glucose is removed from the bloodstream, and helps the body detoxify metals that have accumulated. Alpha lipoic acid also prevents the cross linking of fibers, which leads to aging and the development of wrinkles.
Alpha lipoic acid is produced by the body, but only in small amounts. It is used by the cells in their production of cellular energy, and we only benefit from its antioxidant effects if the amount of ALA in our bodies is greater than that which our cells need for normal functioning. And, unfortunately, the levels of ALA in our body decline as we age.
One advantage of alpha lipoic acid is that it is both fat and water soluble. This means it can work in all parts of our body, making it very versatile. Most antioxidants are either fat or water soluble, but not both. For example, vitamin A is fat soluble, and vitamin C is water soluble.
Taking about 50 to 100mg of alpha lipoic acid supplements a day has been suggested, though this supplement has not been tested on pregnant or breast feeding women.

Professional Teeth Whitening: When Reliability Counts
Professional teeth whitening is becoming the increasingly popular choice for anybody with stained teeth. Yes, you can buy over the counter remedies, but if you want to guarantee whiter teeth now, then professional teeth whitening is the best option.
Professional teeth whitening does not produce different results from the 'at-home' products you can buy, but there are distinct advantages. Firstly, you can be confident that you are in the hands of a professional who knows what they are doing, and secondly, the whitening effects are immediate.
It is a matter of personal choice how many visits it will take to get your teeth professionally whitened. Your teeth will show a change of color after a one-hour visit, but you may want more than this. If you wish to achieve optimal whiteness it may be necessary to attend between two and six times.
Teeth can become stained for a variety of reasons. Food and drink with strong colorings cause stains, most commonly tea and coffee. Smoking gives the teeth a yellowish appearance. Disease and medicine can also cause teeth to become stained, and our teeth naturally become darker as we age. These are all reasons that send us to get professional teeth whitening.
The first thing your dentist will establish is whether it is in your best interests to have professional teeth whitening. There may be circumstances that you haven't considered - for example, if you have tooth colored fillings your teeth may look unnatural if you have them professionally whitened. You may discover that having a professional dental clean is all that you need. Removing the tartar and stains from your teeth can improve their appearance and color, making professional teeth whitening unnecessary.
Having established that your teeth are clean and that professional teeth whitening is the right treatment for you, the dentist will show you the different shades of whiteness that can be achieved with professional teeth whitening. The dentist will consult with you using a porcelain tab (shaped like teeth) to establish which shade of white is right for you.
The dentist will usually polish your teeth before beginning the professional teeth whitening procedure to ensure that all surface stains have gone. The dentist will then isolate the teeth that are going to be whitened with a thin sheet of latex or a special gel that provides a seal around the teeth. The tooth whitener/bleacher is then applied and left on for the period of time necessary to achieve the previously agreed results. Depending on which technique the dentist has chosen, a laser, heat or light source may be used to help activate the bleaching agent.
Professional teeth whitening can last for a few years or as little as six months. Quite often your lifestyle determines how long your treatment will last. However, there is no doubt that professional teeth whitening can return a person's self-esteem. Why not pay a visit to your dentist to establish whether professional teeth whitening could be right for you?

The Benefits of Soy
Do you like the smell of natural aromas filling the air in your home? The scent of banana nut bread baking in the oven or the fresh scents of fresh apples or citrus fruits and sage to create a winter fresh smell in your home? Then you will enjoy all natural soy candles and body products for your home and family.
In addition to the relaxing scents and aromas available in todays soy products, some other benefits of soy include:
Soy candles help our environment, soybeans are a renewable and biodegradable resource
Soy candles produce 90% less soot than other waxes
Lead Free Wicks
Non-Toxic (non-irritable for people with breathing problems)
Cleans up with soap and water
Longer burning- as much as 3 times longer than regular candles
Soy Candles help the US economy and farmers- The production and burning of soywax candles can greatly benefit the American agricultural economy. If soy wax replaced common paraffin wax, an estimated 60 million pounds of soybeans would be required for annual candle production (source: Marlo Quinn Benefits of Soy)
Soy is defined as an oil and lecithin content derived from soybeans. The ancient Orient cultivated soybeans for its protein. Currently soybean oil is one of the most important oils produced in the United States. It is pressed from the soybean. Most of the lecithin (phospholipids) used in cosmetics are derived from soybeans. Soybean oil has a very high-unsaturated fatty acid compound, 2% sterolins and 30 IU per ounce of vitamin E. Unsaponifiables are a large group of compounds called plant steroids or sterolins. They soften the skin, have superior moisturizing effect on the upper layer of the skin and reduce scars. The sterolins in avocado oil have been found to diminish age spots. Oils with the highest unsaponifiables are shea butter, avocado oil, sesame oil, soybean oil and olive oil. (source: Marlo Quinn Oils and Butters)
If you are interested in pampering yourself, your family and friends then you will enjoy all of the benefits of soy products. In addition to candles, there are many bath and body products made from soy and herbal products, from bath scrubs to fragrances and lotions. Some of the reasons people are choosing soy products are the anti-aging effects it carries along with the other natural herbs and ingredients that are mixed into the formulas created to make all natural soy products.

Easy steps to a dazzling Hollywood smile
What is it that Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry and Britney Spears all have in common ? Well, a truly dazzling smile, for one thing. An attractive smile communicates warmth, humour, openness, friendliness and self-confidence. For those of us whose smile is maybe not quite so perfect, here are some suggestions for quick and easy ways to achieve a more attractive, glamorous smile.
Teeth and lips are the two major components of a smile, and modern cosmetic products can really help to enhance the appearance of both. Specifically, we're talking here about dental cosmetics for whiter teeth and cosmetic items that give lips a healthier, more attractively colored and fuller, softer appearance.
Many people are not blessed by nature with sparkling white teeth. But the new generation of teeth whitening products can really help to achieve a whiter shade, safely and gently. The whitening agents (usually Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide) in these products bleach away stains and discoloration on and in the tooth enamel. Teeth may require a touch up after 6 months or so due to the staining effects of items such as black coffee, red wine and cigarettes.
Do consult with a dentist as to the suitability for teeth whitening products for yourself, especially if you have visible tooth caps (crowns) or fillings which will not bleach. Although it's really not necessary to let your dentist go to town on your teeth with expensive cosmetic dental treatment, regular visits to your dentist and dental hygienist can help maintain healthy looking teeth and gums. When you brush your teeth, protect your tooth enamel and gums by using a soft tooth-brush, a non-abrasive tooth paste and by brushing gently. Many dentists recommend using an electric tooth brush, as the urge to 'brush hard' is decreased. Healthy enamel is a must for white teeth.
Lips are just as important a part of a beautiful smile as are teeth, and there's really no need to put up with unattractive dry, cracked, colorless or thin lips. A few minutes of care each day is all that's needed for lips with a healthier, more colorful and fuller look.
For truly healthy looking lips, a good quality lip balm is indispensable. The skin of our lips is particularly thin, delicate and sensitive. Exposure to factors such as UV light in strong sunshine, dry air, wind and cold can soon lead to dry, cracked and peeling lips. An application of lip balm in the morning and evening is a good basis for daily lip care. Much more than a simple waxy coating, todays quality lip balms protect, sooth, moisturize and nourish the lips. Many also make an ideal base on which to apply lip color. For skiing, sailing or beach life, do use a lip balm with a high UV blocking factor.
The most naturally appealing lip colors are shades of pink through to red. Pink tones give a naturally healthy look, whilst red is somewhat more arousing and provocative. Paler shades give thin lips a fuller appearance than darker shades. For extra confidence in your appearance it is well worth investing in smudge free colors that won't smear upon contact. Lip gloss (or lip shine) products applied over lip color add extra glamour for an evening look. Some lip gloss products even have moisturizing properties to further protect your lips.
There's no denying that plump, full, pouting lips radiate a glamorous, sensuous appeal. Untill recent years, if you weren't born with them, then risky (not to mention painful) cosmetic surgery or injections was the only way to get them. These days, however, there's a whole range of cosmetic 'lip plumper' products available which can help to temporarily create fuller, softer lips - safely and painlessly. Lip plumpers come in a range of gels, creams and liquids that are applied directly to the lips. Most work by stimulating production of collagen in the lips. Over a number of days (up to a month) this can create a noticeable increase in lip volume and softness. Lip plumpers often combine other moisturizing and nourishing ingredients.
So now you know the keys to whiter teeth and healthier, more colorful and fuller lips, do explore for yourself which brand name products suit you best. Because choice of cosmetics is such a personal matter, you may want to try sample products first before you buy. You'll even find free cosmetic samples from top name companies that can be easily ordered over the Internet, just look !
And finally, don't forget that the very best smiles of all are a projection of the sunny, up-beat, radiant personality inside yourself !

What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a distinctly modern procedure that proves there is a place for high tech thinking in the beauty world. This unique skin treatment was developed by an Italian doctor in the mid 1980s and has since caught on all over the world. Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing technique that has results similar to a chemical peel or a laser peel; but it is faster, less invasive, less dangerous, and less uncomfortable than these treatments and has very comparable results. Unlike a chemical or laser peel, a microdermabrasion technique doesnt require any recovery time. It is possible to have a microdermabrasion in the afternoon and still hit the town that very night with fresh, smooth skin. Microdermabrasion is no more invasive or time consuming than a massage or a manicure. This fast turnaround has made microdermabrasion a popular treatment.
Microdermabrasion is a technique that removes the fine outer layer of skin; revealing a fresh, young looking complexion, and causing the face to quickly regenerate new layers of smooth, flawless skin that can keep you looking great for weeks. Microdermabrasion can remove superficial scars and slight pits or dents in the facial surface, such as the minor scars sometimes caused by acne. It can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other fine lines, which is a boon to anyone looking for a way to make their face appear younger. A few half hour sessions of microdermabrasion can wipe away damage that has accumulated over a period of many years.
The equipment used in microdermabrasion can be intimidating the first time you undergo the procedure. In microdermabrasion a device sprays extremely fine crystals over the surface of the skin, then applies gentle circular pressure that works the granules against the face to loosen the outer layer of skin. After this is complete, light suction lifts the loosened layer of skin away. The entire procedure usually takes between half an hour and an hour, and is often performed by a plastic surgeon although many spas are beginning to offer this revolutionary treatment in addition to classic beauty standbys like facials.
Unfortunately, one downside to microdermabrasion in the eyes of many potential customers is the cost. A single session of this uniquely high tech procedure can cost between one hundred and two hundred dollars. However, there are plenty of regular microdermabrasion clients who feel that increasing beauty is worth any financial cost.

Whats the REAL DEAL on HGH (Human Growth Hormone) anyway?
Human Growth Hormone was first discovered in 1956 and its structure was identified in 1972. It was extracted from cadavers, sold at very high prices, and injected with needles into the body.
In mid-1998 the 191 chain Hgh molecule was genetically engineered in the laboratory. Since then all HGH is synthetically produced and HGH from cadavers is no longer in use. Synthetic HGH (Somatrophin) is available to us now in two forms. One is through a costly doctors pharmaceutical prescription, and secondly at a reasonable price through a homeopathic oral spray. A third therapy alternative would be Secretogogues and Stacked Amino products which contain absolutely no HGH. The idea here is to coax your own body, by stimulating the Pituitary Gland, to produce more of its own HGH. Unfortunately this latter therapy works for only a month or two.
It should be noted that the Federal Drug Administration does not allow any nutritional product (HGH pills) to claim that it can cure any disease. However, the FDA does approve Pharmaceutical drugs and Homeopathic preparations to claim they can cure a particular disease and the testing to achieve this status is quite rigorous as we all know.
So, a doctor is permitted to prescribe Human Growth Hormone to a patient for anti-aging even though it is approved by the FDA only as a cure for dwarfism. The Pharmaceutical manufacturer is not permitted to suggest its use as an anti-aging therapy, only as a treatment for dwarfism, and one company ended up paying substantial fines and penalties for doing just that.
The large majority of Homeopathic remedies do, with FDA approval, claim to cure various ailments. Homeopathic HGH is one of only a handful of preparations that claims to cure nothing. 21st Century HGH is manufactured at an FDA monitored and approved laboratory. The curious difference between pharmaceutical HGH (hgh prescription shots) and homeopathic HGH (oral spray) is that even though the former injects huge amounts of the actual hormone, compared to only a miniscule amount in the homeopathic preparation, the rejuvenation levels are remarkably similar!
Being very conservative the idea of stimulating my own bodys production of HGH through nutritional supplements sounded the most natural to me. However, the authoritative Physicians Desk Reference Manual rates different forms of absorption by the body and yields eye-opening information. It says that when you swallow a pill, less than 10% of the nutrient actually gets into the blood stream. The other 90% is processed as waste by the gastrointestinal tract.
Oral absorption through the mucosa (the lining of the mouth) is the preferred choice of medical experts because the body absorbs 90% of the nutrient into the bloodstream. Thats a huge difference. What was not a big difference to us, but was still very interesting, was that oral absorption (90%) was higher than intra-muscular injection (80%).
So, piling a bunch of substances into my body in the form of stacked amino acids and secretagogues, most of which would actually pass through me, just to coax my Pituitary Gland into a little bit of action didnt seem like a plan to me.
The Human Growth Hormone market is beset by some overzealous marketeers who sometimes make claims that are somewhat misleading, especially in the area of human growth hormone clinical studies. Ive read through many entire websites which make claims, based on pharmaceutical HGH, that imply the same results will occur with their nutritional product. They are just fast talking their clientel and many have had action taken against them by the Federal Trade Commission.
If you are interested in a great rejuvenation therapy stick to either pharmaceutical injections under the care of a doctor or homeopathic oral sprays that can be purchased over-the-counter. The FDA has approved oral sprays for over the counter sales. They are generic in nature. There is only one recipe that works and all the companies use this recipe. Beware of companies that claim that their oral spray is more potent than the next. Its impossible.
Good Luck and Happy Living!

Tummy Tuck Surgery At A Glance
The tummy tuck, known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which excess fat and skin is removed from the abdomen. This procedure can make a major improvement to the looks of anyone who has protruding abdominal muscles, as it will help tighten the muscles in the abdomen. Tummy tucks have become quite common for both men and women alike, especially those who have gone through a dramatic weight loss and are left with extra fat and a saggy tummy. The final result is a flatter and smoother abdomen.
As with any surgery, there are risks involved including infections, blood clots, scars that heal very slowly and the risk of a second operation to correct the complication. With a tummy tuck procedure, patients will often experience pain, bruising and swelling in the abdominal region, as well as numbness. Some of these side effects may last for as long as several months.
There are several types of abdominoplasty that can be performed to enhance the appearance of the abdomen and the type for you will depend on whether your surgeon feels a full tummy tuck is in order or a simpler procedure. The first is the actual abdominoplasty or full tummy tuck. This involves an incision from one hipbone to the next that goes around the belly button. The lower skin is removed from the abdomen region up toward the ribs and the surgeon will tighten the vertical abdomen muscles. Any extra fat is removed during surgery and the skin is stretched down and cut before the flap is sewn into place. There is also the option to get a mini tummy tuck that involves a smaller incision and less recovery time. The mini tummy tuck is an effective solution for those with smaller tummy problems.
The endoscopic tummy tuck is perfect for people with extra fat, but with skin that still has good elasticity. Through the use of small incisions and a tiny camera inserted into the abdomen, the abdomen muscles can be tightened and extra fat can be liposuctioned from the area. This leaves little scarring and is one of the most popular tummy tuck procedures performed. A panniculectomy is for those who have lost a large amount of weight and have a huge overlap of skin in the abdomen region. This skin is removed along with any excess fat.
The recovery time of a full tummy tuck is under six weeks and generally, within a 2 year period, the scars will fade and flatten. It is not uncommon for those who have had this procedure to experience pain in the area for several months after the surgery. It is important to follow-up with your surgeon should you experience any major pain or discomfort, as it could be a sign of infection.
If you are contemplating getting a tummy tuck cosmetic surgery, youll want to do your research before you follow through. Your physician can recommend a surgeon to assist you, however, youll want to make sure you interview several before deciding upon who will do the procedure. Make certain your surgeon understands what you are expecting from the surgery and make sure you understand exactly what this surgery will or will not do for you.
Many individuals are getting tummy tucks in order to enhance their appearance. The surgery itself is not complicated, but the surgeon will decide if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Women who are planning to have children in the future should wait to have this surgery and anyone that is considered to be obese or have a Body Mass Index over 27 should not have the surgery until they lose the necessary weight. The tummy tuck procedure is not a weight loss procedure. It is an enhancement surgery, designed to improve your looks.

Plastic Surgery A viable option for Baby Boomers
A lot have been written about this decade being that of the baby boomers and their penchant for looking trim and fit. Plastic surgery options like tummy tuck and liposuction have never been so popular. Seniors, take note that Los Angeles tummy tuck expert has mentioned that liposuction and tummy tuck can work great for baby boomers. Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Dr.Younai specializes in cosmetic surgery procedures especially tummy tuck, liposuction and brachiaplasty. His experience, empathy and sense of balance have helped many patients regain their sense of self worth and renewed their confidence.
Men and women tend to store fat in different areas. Men often put extra weight around their love handles and abdomen while women tend to gain it around their thighs and hips. While exercise and dieting reduce total body fat they cannot induce spot fat reduction. For example, push-ups do not reduce the fat around the abdomen but help to reduce the total body fat. Considering this, liposuction provides an avenue for selectively removing fat and therefore sculpting the body in ways not possible by other means. Can a person regain fat in areas that were liposuctioned? Most likely no. This is because fat only gets deposited into fat cells. Because liposuction removes fat cells from the areas that are suctioned, new fat will be deposited in other areas of the body. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, addresses this problem by not only removing excess skin and fat, but also by tightening the abdominal muscles, therefore, reestablishing the integrity of the abdominal wall.
A typical tummy tuck or liposuction at los angeles can cost a fair bit, but how much is your self confidence worth? I think it is priceless!
A number of financing options are available in most plastic surgery centers, including at California Center for Plastic Surgery.
