September 27, 2007 Celebs & rehabs

I can’t believe the amount of celebrities that are going in and out of drug rehabs. It’s crazy!! I’ve never seen so many of them doing so until the last couple of years.

It seems that the younger generation of celebrity stars really got problems with parties, alcohol, and drugs. Just look at Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears just to name a few. They all have been in rehab this year. It’s insane, especially how some young girls look up to celebrities like this.

I think they really got to get their priorities straight and stop with all the night after night partying. It’s a crazy world!

September 26, 2007 The perfect breasts

If you look pretty much everywhere, it seems that many women are turning to Breast Enlargement facilities to improve their self-esteem and body image. I don’t necessarily agree that it’s the way to go, but it seems to be working for some.

Being plastered with magazines showing Hollywood’s finest women with perfect breasts leaves one to think that they obviously had to have some sort of surgery. That’s why it’s no surprise that young teens who look up to these women, are wanting to go under the knife than except their natural breasts.

I can agree and disagree with the topic of getting your breasts done. Here are my reasons:

Pros:

  • It’s great because you can get the perfectly round breasts that you have always wanted.
  • You may find new confidence in the way you present yourself.
  • People might actually recognize your breasts and may even comment.

Cons:

  • Getting your breasts done, may not always help you improve your self-esteem. Issues like this tend to go deeper than appearances and skin.
  • Something may go wrong with the surgery and leave it’s mark on you.
  • Once some people get one surgery, they go back for more because it’s never perfect.

Of course all of the above is my own opinion on Breast Enlargement. It’s up to you to decide whether or not to get it done. Don’t just rush into making the decision because you may later regret it. Take your time and do your research. That’s the safest way to go.

Every now and then, I enjoy listening to recordings while I fall into my subconscious mind. Some range from soothing music, while others are similar to subliminal CDs.

As everyone knows, your inner thoughts really control your wants, fears and even behaviour. If you have a certain fear that you want to get rid of, then try it out. You have nothing to lose from doing it and it really takes no effort. You just listen to the CD while you fall asleep. The real work begins in your subconscious mind while your fast asleep.

Websites just as Subliminal-Cds.com offer you the help and answers you need to try this method. It’s definitely a website you should check out especially if you can’t find another way of getting rid of your fear or behaviour problem.

Check it out today. It can really change your life around!

July 20, 2007 Need to lose weight?

In today’s society, almost everyone is looking to stay healthy and lose excess weight. There are so many plans, pills, and programs out there. But how many of them are really successful?

I do know of one such diet that can help you lose weight. That way, is through having a high protein bariatic diet. I can truthfully say I KNOW this does work. I had a friend who attempted this and had bariatic meals, drinks, protein bars, and vitamins, and they were able to lose weight and keep it off for over a year. I wish I still had the before and after pictures of her because they were amazing.

I personally haven’t done this diet because I forgot about it until I came across BariatricChoice.com, but it really does work. I’ve seen it first hand.

The website itself provides you with a good idea of what it’s all about. You can even find diet help with topics like protein needs, exercise, and you can even contact a bariatic professional.

If you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off, check it out. This diet may be perfect for you.

So I was telling my sister what happened when I woke up with a black tongue the other day (see this post). She told me to go on Google and search it. So I did because I hadn’t done that yet. I came across an article on Wikipedia that said:

Pepto-Bismol has been known to cause one’s tongue and stool to turn black. This form of “black tongue”, however, is a result of the separation of bismuth from salicylate, forming bismuth trisulfide (Bi2S3) in combination with the sulfur found in saliva.

Bingo! I took a Pepto-Bismol chewable tablet before I went to bed which resulted in me waking up with a black tongue in the morning. Woot!! Now that mystery is solved. LOL!!

[Edit:] Brushing your tongue with a toothbrush and water helps remove the blackness.

June 24, 2007 Weight-Loss Procedure

Have you ever considered lap band surgery? Don’t know what it is, well I’ll explain.

According to Wikipedia, lap band surgery is a weight-loss procedure. A permanent prosthetic ban is placed around the upper stomach. It creates a small pouch that limits the amount of food you desire to eat.

I personally know a few people who have gone with this weight loss procedure. One of which actually went down to Mexico to undergo her surgery because it was less expensive than other places. How did she end up after her surgery? I can honestly say that she started losing pounds quickly after coming back to Canada and has maintained a proper weight for her age.

Lap band Mexico procedures cost just under $8000 which is an affordable price for those who want to undergo this surgery procedure. You can go to places such as MyLapBandSurgery.com who provide information and surgeries at great prices.

MyLapBandSurgery.com and The Betancourt Medical Center provide these surgeries:

Bariatric Procedures:

  • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
  • Duodenal Switch
  • LAP-BAND System
  • Gastric Sleeve

Cosmetic Procedures:

  • Botox
  • Browlift
  • Chemical Peel
  • Chin Implants
  • Chin Surgery
  • Soft Tissue Fillers
  • Dermabrasion
  • Eyelid Surgery Lower
  • Eyelid Surgery Upper
  • Face Lift
  • Fat Transplantation
  • Laser Skin Resurfacing
  • Lip Augmentation
  • Neck Lift
  • Rhinoplasty
  • Nose Surgery

There is plenty of available procedures as you can see from the above list. The website also says that there is financing available for clients. They have several financial institutions that help their clients get the best loan and interest rates possible if that’s the way you choose to go to pay for your surgery.

You can easily get a free consultation on their website by filling out the form on the main page. Or, if you’d like to speak with someone personally, you can check out their Open House on Thursday July 25th from 9am-6pm. You can also make an appointment or speak to someone via their telephone line by calling 1-866-309-0036.

The choice is up to you and you can obtain all the information regarding these procedures from the website or by personally calling them.
