Ooohhh... my guy just loves Angelina Jolie. I wonder if my lips could look that good with this? I'd love to have fuller lips without the pain of injections. Some of those celebrities have lips that are *TOO* big. So, I wouldn't want that.
I personally find full plump lips a bit plus. If this stuff will really work without a woman having to go through some dubious medical procedure that could have side effects and I still get to kiss a nice full set of lips, then I say go for it!
I may have to give this a try. I'm very wary about lip injections--to me they always look fake. And I don't like needles much either. But if I could find some way to make my upper lip look a little plumper, I'd be thrilled.
The world squeezes us with disorderly and just plain inappropriate prices so much and so often that it makes it difficult sometimes to not buckle under the weight of your bills.
When you get spending with that gorgeous green stuff, the problem often gets worse and worse and it makes you want to scream and tear at your hair. The big rats move in and try to eat away at your brain. You have to take action by fighting back.
Debt is a problem we all face each day. Debt is the pin money overdue to someone else, which often incorporates steep interest. We have habitual bills, such as the grocery-itemized accounts, since our body won't let us get through life without that tacky nutrition stuff. We need babysitter, since who in the world these days wants to raise their own kids. The mortgage often has a steep tag, which often makes you sometimes wish you lived in the garbage can down the road with that homeless feller. Then there is the car payment. These damn people took our horse and buggies, so now we need cars, insurance, tags, driver license, petrol, and our brain to tell us when to slow down. It gets worse, since we need student loans. Rulers of the world decided that hiring idiots was something they wanted to avoid.
The solution to transitory debt is to monitor your spending. Rather than rushing out to buy another candy bar, or better yet, another bottle of beer, put that money in your savings and invest in getting out of debt.
If you do not have the allowance on hand to pay for the damage, ask a friend or family comrade to lend you the money. Offer the lender a small vested, interest bank rate for the amount owed. If your friends or family will not supply you the pocket change, use your that piece of plastic. You have time to repay the credit card, which you want to payoff quickly, since interest will accrue causing you more damage.
Try to break off falling behind to keep the bounty hunters from knocking on your door. Millions of folks each civil year are battling arrears, which is a shame, especially when they need men in the army.
If you are indebt now, learn your rights. As a debtor, you have the right to keep your mouth shut when bill collectors hound you. You have the right to ask for deferred installment payments on student loans. You have many options. Take time to learn these options rather than falling deeper into the hole you've dug for yourself.
If you are way in deep in debt, it may be time to find a lawyer to represent you. You can hire a stiff barrister, or else find services that offer debt relief, such as the debt consolidation programs. Lawyers usually cause more trouble, because they come with a high fee attached. You can see the price tag written on their forehead.
Christian debt consolidation services, law firms, and other businesses offer arrears relief will work with you to assist you in avoiding bankruptcy, liens, garnishes on wages and lawsuits. Know your options, since you have lawful rights. Exploit those rights and use it with the whole draw of the gun you take. Debt programs could trail to sober quandaries, so take time to find ways that work gloriously for you to reduce debt.
I would just like to add that if credit card debt is a problem, as it is for so many people, one way to get out of debt is to pick the credit card with the lowest balance. Pay the others the minimum amount due, but send every extra cent you can to the card you're trying to pay off. When that balance is paid of (Yea!) cut the card into little, bitty pieces and move on to the next one.
Right on, Calypso. I entered into a debt management program that helped me get my accounts frozen so the interest rates would stop piling on. Once we got to the point that accounts were being paid off, I would meet with a counselor and we would decide which card to double up on and pay off next. The last year I was in the program, it seemed as if I was having at least one card cutting party every quarter.
Incidental purchases are definitely budget-busters for me. I am especially bad for grapping fountain drinks at the drive through. Starting today, I'm going to try to remember to tote a water bottle with me instead.
On the brink of the re-release of her new album B'Day: Volume 2, R&B phenom and actress, Beyonce Knowles teams up with BET for not one but two exclusive specials entitled B'DAY-THE UPGRADE.
Premiering on April 2, 2007 @ 3:00 p.m. ET/PT and 7:30 p.m. ET/PT and a day before the actual release, the two-part special will feature an amazing total of 13 never before seen videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and an exclusive interview with the dream girl.
Burberry, the international luxury brand, introduced the new Burberry Prorsum Autumn / Winter Collections for Men and Women during Milan Fashion Weeks in January and February earlier this year.
January marked the launch of the Autumn / Winter 2007 / 2008 season for Burberry with the new Burberry Prorsum Men's collection. Christopher Bailey, Burberry Creative Director, took his inspiration from the company's abundant heritage, commenting:
"Our rich Burberry archives were the starting point for this collection, inspired by Burberry's historic role in aviation, Shackleton's Antarctic expeditions and the strict military tailored uniforms of the British Sandhurst Military Academy."
Silhouettes for this Autumn / Winter Burberry collection include strict tailored uniform shapes married with oversized expedition outerwear forms. Furthermore, the carefully chosen colour palette emphasises the military theme: anthracite, grey melange, pale grey, dark nickel, carbon, mid grey, silver, peat, sepia, airforce blue, naval blue, uniform blue, petrol blue, olive, pale olive, olive drab, khaki, mustard and cognac are predominantly featured.
The collection's inspiration is referenced once again through the fabric selection. Fabrics include flannel, felt, cotton flannel, boiled wool, heavy grain leather, shearling, technical quilted nylon, quilted plongé leather, silk shantung, silk jacquard, pressed wool, cashmere and cotton poplin.
Strong accessories complement the looks: unique and precious alligator and box calf totes and holdalls with strong brass and nickel hardware were featured alongside striking Brogue military boots.
British models from the current Spring/Summer Burberry campaign -- all part of the Burberry "family" -- were seen on the runway. Otis and Isaac Ferry, sons of British singer/songwriter Bryan Ferry, as well as Max Irons, son of British actor Jeremy Irons walked down the runway accompanied by powerful and evocative music such as the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby", Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and the Boom Town Rats' "Diamond Smiles".
In February, Burberry introduced the Prorsum Womenswear Autumn / Winter 2007 / 2008 collection.
For womenswear, the inspiration originated foremost from the company's equestrian knight logo, as Christopher Bailey explained: "Real British luxury, outerwear and the Burberry Prorsum knight were the starting points to this medieval inspired collection."
As for the men's collection, the women's colour palette calls to mind medieval hues: black, anthracite, charcoal, dark olive, khaki, airforce blue, dark nickel, antique rose, and bordeaux were all introduced.
A variety of rich fabrics are used, stretching from beautiful quilted pythons, to studded soft nappa leather and stitched patent leather, to shaved mink, to elaborate tapestry jacquards and fine lace. In addition, rich shear lings, metallic nylons, chain mail knits, chunky cashmere cables, ruffled chiffon, chintzed silks and glossy lingerie satins were introduced.
Ready-to-wear looks were completed by a selection of stunning accessories, such as striking gauntlet as well as hook and eye boots, studded and mesh leather sandals, as well as saddlery belts, hawking gloves, studded clutch bags and mesh belt bags.
Mirroring the men's show, models included British talent from the current Spring/Summer Burberry campaign such as Agyness, Keira Gormley and Lily Donaldson. The music Christopher Bailey selected were two songs by David Bowie, "Eight line poem" and "Lady Stardust", as well as The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and Siouxsie and the Banshees' "The Passenger"
Some of the most popular articles in gossip magazines such as Star Magazine and the National Enquirer are those that probe into the private relationships of celebrities. Such magazines like to detail the latest hook ups, and break ups. Though those in Hollywood are known for the brevity in their relationships, there are just some female celebs that just seem to have great trouble both snagging and keeping a man. It just goes to how you that looks do not account for everything.
Naomi Campbell
Famous since the catwalking days of fellow supermodels Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista, this dark beauty cannot seem to keep an assistant or a personal companion. Campbell is known for her erratic temper and penchant for throwing cell phones and the like at those who raise her ire. She has been linked to such notable men as the prince of Dubai, Michael Stipe, with whom she was engaged, singer Usher, and actor Robert Deniro to name a few. However, a longer term commitment has eluded her and Campbell has never been linked to anyone for very long. The last reported hook up with Terrance Howard was unceremoniously denied by the actor who has proclaimed to still be in love with his ex wife.
Mariah Carey
This angelic voice burst onto the scene with the smash hit Vision of Love, which is ironic since love has seemed to elude the song bird. Carey was married to record executive Tommy Mottola, a man quite a few years older than her. The marriage did not outlive the hype of the fairy tale wedding as Mottola turned out to be more like a father and a husband and the two called it quite after a rather tumultuous union.
Carey has gone on to date others such as Latin American singer Luis Miguel, and notorious playboy Derek Jeter. She has also been linked to rapper Eminem, with whom she had a very public feud. Reportedly, Carey was leaving messages for the rapper who was apparently no longer interested in pursuing any romantic involvement with the singer. He released them to the media, and Carey labeled the messages as being misconstrued, and Eminem as being ungentlemanly for releasing the messages.
Carey is legendary for diva like behavior and demands. She has quite a bit of experience in many things, I wonder how long it will take for her to realize that men do not always want the high maintenance type no matter what your bank balance.
Paris Hilton
With Paris, one never knows if she cannot seem to keep a man or if a man cannot keep her. Though the difference between Hilton, and our two other ladies is that she is young and she just wants to have fun. Though shortly engaged to Paris Latsis, Hilton has been linked to just about everyone in young Hollywood, whether they are attached or not. Sometime boyfriend Stavros Niarchos is a boyfriend she snagged while he dated one of the Olsen twins, has the infamous sex tape with Shannen Doherty ex Rick Solomon, not to mention the very married MTV reality star Travis Barker.
No one knows what the future holds for these ladies, but I am guessing that life is easier in Tinseltown when you have someone to share it with.
You know, some people are just happier being single or having several passing relationships instead of one serious one. As long as these ladies aren't unhappy about their relationship status, let's give them a break!
Sometimes you don't even know anymore if these "relationships" match ups are for real.
I thought that it must have been a big publicity stunt when TomKat arrived on the scene. Just goes for you if these ladies are just being single for the notoriety....
It's been there for you ... through pick-up lines, spilled red wine, operas and weddings. It has never complained after being tossed aside in the heat of passion. It has kept all your secrets. Yes, your "little black dress" has been a true friend. Or perhaps it's that maternity dress with the polka dots that seemed to sum up your feelings about weighing 30 extra pounds. Or that shirt you wore for your first try at the Boston Marathon. All evoke emotion and memories.
Remanents, the creator of high quality and high style note and greeting cards, invites women to share their memories and have garments immortalized as part of the company's "Style Diaries" Greeting Card line.
"We were inspired by one woman's story of the death of so many bridesmaid dresses," explains Monica Anderson, Remanents' designer and illustrator. "She and I speculated about the stories the dresses could tell. We all have favorite fashion pieces that can bring back a moment or a memory of our life."
From this, the "Style Diaries" Greeting Cards were born. The collection includes limited edition greeting cards that tell an original story. Actual fabric pieces from donated garments are paired with original illustrations by Anderson and combined with high quality die cut papers. The fabric swatches are inserted into the card for a stunning, multi-dimensional look. A diary entry on the back reveals where the piece had been and what it meant to its owner. Each card is numbered and Remanents donates 20% of the online sales to the Global Fund for Women.
"A small tear slid down my cheek as I parted with this gorgeous black dress ..." begins Adrianne's entry on the first card for the Style Diaries line. Her favorite little black dress lives on forever as a birthday wish and also supports other women through the Global Fund for Women.
All women are encouraged to submit their stories for consideration in a Style Diaries card. Those that are selected receive the first 10 cards from the limited edition printing free to share with friends and family. To submit for consideration, garment, story, and Style Diaries submission form to need to be sent to: Remanents -- Style Diaries Submission, PO Box 156, Haddonfield, NJ 08033. Stories must be 140 words or less and are subject to editorial revisions. Clothing submitted but not selected for inclusion will be donated to the Purple Heart.
What a neat idea! But I shudder to think what my favorite clothes would say if they could talk. Best that for now they remain silent (although I do look forward to reading other women's stories).
Celebrity skin may seem unattainable, but it is a possibility for many skin types. Following a strategic skin care maintenance and management program is just one way to achieve celebrity skin and learn about the best skin care program for long-term skin health. Healthy skin is a part of a healthy lifestyle, and is a part of looking younger, longer. Celebrities take regular care of their skin through a variety of techniques. These include ongoing facials, massages, skin care regimes, and a healthy diet. Exercise can also play a role in stellar skin year round, as it improves circulation and helps remove toxins from the body in a natural way.
Regular skin care that is integrated into a daily habit will create long-term results. Still, there are many intensive treatments and options available to enhance the skin's appearance and achieve dramatic results. These include anti-aging procedures, scientific treatments for specific skin conditions, or even holistic and natural therapies to improve skin definition.
Celebrity Skin Care Regimes
Healthy skin regimes start with a daily routine that cleans, moisturizes, and nourishes skin on a regular basis. This will include a process of:
A healthy skin care regime takes time to develop and integrate into a lifestyle, but once it becomes a natural habit, it can provide consistent results. Celebrities have a variety of resources and products available to help them look and feel their best. This ranges from intensive treatments, high-quality products, natural or holistic remedies for problem skin, and pursuing a healthy and balanced lifestyle with diet and exercise.
Common Celebrity Skincare Treatments
Skincare treatments that offer intensive, deep treatments on a regular basis can encourage detoxification and vitamin infusions. These can enrich the skin's top layer, leaving it rejuvenated and refreshed. Common skincare treatments include:
* Microdermabrasion * Mud masques * Skin resurfacing procedures * Botox injections to remove fine lines and wrinkles * Facial lifts and injections * Organic and herbal serums and treatments * Natural cosmetic applications * Vitamin-rich body and skin treatments, including body wraps, moisturizer applications, and intensive moisture therapy * Photo pigmentation to remove spots and blemishes * Glycolic peels * Lip treatments and enhancers * Skin buffing and hair removal * Acid and collagen fillers
Both dermatologists and plastic surgeons can help with any of these treatments, and although some intensive treatments will have side effects, these usually subside in a few days or weeks. Maintaining skin with natural products and treatments will help in the long-term, so a balance is often necessary.
Celebrity Skincare Products
Wearing natural cosmetics and using high-quality skincare products are often a part of the celebrity skin care regime. Top skincare brands will offer nutrient-rich products that may include:
* Hydrating toners * Vitamin-rich moisturizers * Herbal infusions and serums * Penetrating pore cleaners * Anti-wrinkle creams and serums * Eye treatments such as gels, serums, and light moisturizers * Overnight creams that tighten and firm the skin * Facials that cleanse, remove dirt from clogged pores, and stimulate the skin's top layer
Celebrity Lifestyles that Encourage Healthy Skin
A regular exercise and fitness program, along with a steady diet of natural foods, are essential components of healthy skin. Celebrities and stars often have personal trainers and fitness experts readily available to guide them through their fitness regime, and may even have personal chefs to provide highly nutritious foods and meals. However, some key elements of both of these lifestyles can greatly enhance anyone's skin and appearance.
Healthy dieting and eating habits include integration of food with a high level of antioxidants, natural foods, plenty of fruits, and a variety of vegetables. Foods that are high in antioxidants and that may have a direct impact on skin include:
* Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables * Leafy green vegetables * Whole grains * Nuts, seeds, and natural fruits * Healthy fats from fatty fish, Omega 3 supplements, and flax seed * Plenty of fresh, spring water
Regular exercise can boost circulation and increase the body's ability to eliminate toxins. This is very important to refresh and remove dead skin cells, as well as any toxic material in the body that may be causing skin disorders or imbalances. Regular exercise can increase the chances of healthy skin production, resulting in a glowing appearance. This healthy glow from within is common among celebrity skin, and is fairly easy to maintain.
Avoiding excessive sun exposure is important to maintain skin's natural elasticity and prevent premature aging. This is why regular sunscreen application is essential for long-term skin care, and is often a part of a daily regime. Skin can deteriorate and mature at an accelerated pace when it is exposed to excessive UV-rays. Tanning booths, too much time outdoors, and inadequate skin care will result in fine lines and wrinkles developing, as well as increasing the risk of skin cancer.

While all of these products sound luscious, they would be quite out of range pricewise. I am all for helping my face through diet, drinking water and exercise, though!
Notice those dresses with no shape and puffy sleeves? Steer clear. Leading formal wear retailer PromGirlreleases top tips for prom dress shopping this prom season. With so many styles of long and short dresses from high fashion to classic ball gown to choose from, PromGirl offers these tips to make the shopping experience.
Shopping a prom dress can be a memorable, fun experience. Each year PromGirl shoppers find their perfect prom dress from PromGirl's online selection of designer and classic prom dresses in the hottest styles and colors. PromGirl is all about prom, and here are ten shopping and dressing tips to help get ready for that perfect prom:
1. Find a dress that fits. Not everyone is shaped alike. Girls are petite, plus size, hourglass figured, sleek, and tall. PromGirl groups into categories by body type the hottest styles for prom. Every girl can find a dress to fit and flatter her body type. 2. Wear a complementary color. If you crave that sexy red dress, but red is not your color, check to see if it is available in another color. This year's hottest colors are not colors at all. They are gorgeous bronze, silver and gold metallic fabrics. Select the metallic tone goes best with your hair and skin for a smashing 2007 prom look. 3. Shoes can make the outfit. Have a tall date? A short one? Find shoes to match. PromGirl has many styles to choose from -- everything from high-heeled strappy shoes to ballet flats that will match any dress, and any date. Don't forget to get some practice wearing those new shoes before the big night. You don't want sore feet to mar your big night. 4. A flattering neckline presents a classic and dramatic look. Strapless dresses show off beautiful collarbones, while halter top dresses can show an open back or a dramatic v-neck can accentuate a beautiful bust line. As you select your neckline, be sure to accentuate your best attribute. 5. Choose what to show off. Every woman has a feature she is confident showing off, and PromGirl has a dress that will do just that. If you have long lean legs, choose a long sleek dress or a pretty face draw attention upwards with a dress with detailing at the top. 6. Accessorize. If the weather is still cool when prom is held plan ahead. For cooler weather, PromGirl has beautiful shawls to match prom dresses and keep shoulders warm. Jewelry choices and handbags bring added flair to a formal dress. 7. Prepare for prom activities. Dinner before? Party after? Find a dress that is appropriate for every aspect of the night from PromGirl and be prepared to change from that full-skirted ball gown to a shorter dress later in the night. 8. Bring a camera. Keeping the photos and memories made on prom night is as important as looking good in them. 9. Plan hair and makeup early. If you plan to have your hair and makeup done professionally, be sure to make an appointment early. In prom season many salons are very busy. Do be sure to share with your stylist any pertinent information about your planned dress so that your makeup and nails will complement your dress and shoes. 10. Remember to have fun. Have a great time getting ready for and at the prom! Plan ahead and make the evening fun.
PromGirl Vice President Kim Broomall adds that "getting ready for prom is almost as fun as the dance itself. Young women keep their prom memories forever, and we at PromGirl want to help make prom 2007 a memory that they will want to last forever."

San Francisco Plastic Surgeon Dr. Scott Mosser leads the way in advanced fat grafting for shaping of the buttocks: "The Brazilian Butt Lift" procedure is gaining in popularity as a natural and long-term alternative to other procedures such a buttock implants.
San Francisco Bay Area Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Scott W. Mosser performs a full range of advanced plastic surgery procedures at several locations in San Francisco. He receives patients and performs procedures at his office in downtown San Francisco in the historic Sutter Building at 450 Sutter Street on Union Square, as well as performing surgery at the California Pacific Medical Center and St. Mary's Medical Center in San Francisco.
In Northern California, where emphasis is placed on natural results and implants are less popular than other areas of the country, it seems that a procedure where body augmentation can be achieved through using one's own fat would seem to be appealing. Such is the case with the latest trend, buttock augmentation through fat grafting after liposuction. Perhaps because of the influence by popular Brazilian beachwear, this procedure has earned its name as "the Brazilian Buttock Lift."
"The Brazilian Butt Lift is simply the term coined for a procedure designed to reduce the waistline dramatically while filling the upper quadrant of the buttocks. This way the final overall shape is a lifted and rounded contour with better projection, a là the Brazilian beauties that the procedure honors." explained Dr. Mosser. "It's not just a fashion trend, however. A thin waist combined with more generous hips has been desirable for thousands of years of culture. Many women are now coming to me to correct the too-flat, low or masculine appearing derriere they were born with, or to re-shape their buttocks following significant weight loss."
Dr. Mosser explained that traditional methods, including implants and liposuction, for buttocks augmentation have been used for some time, but advances have been made in techniques that avoid the problems of having long-term foreign implants in the body. "The desired shape can now be accomplished either by fat transfer or using a micro fat injection technique. Though painstakingly meticulous, I prefer this 'microlipofilling' procedure which uses a patient's own fat instead of implants and is capable of obtaining natural, incredibly long-lasting results."
In the micro fat injection technique the surgeon removes fat from selected areas of the patient's body by liposuction, purifies and processes the fat, and then injects tiny amounts of the specially treated fat cells into the buttocks. The process involves making scores, or even hundreds, of separate injections through the same little incisions using special cannulas, or needles. This ensures the fat receives a sufficient blood supply to survive in their new location in the buttocks tissue. The procedure takes significantly longer to perform than some other procedures and requires a specialist like Dr. Scott Mosser, but can result in more of the grafted fat remaining for the long term. The fat that does remain after one year can remain for a lifetime, and scarring and side effects of the procedure are minimal.

As a result, you will feel lighter, healthier and rejuvenated, while you shed pounds. Try A Bottle Today!
I would want to know more about how this product works before I would try it or recommend it to anyone. That is an awful lot of weight to drop in a very short time. Is it basically water weight that it flushes out or what? And is the weigth loss permanent or temporary?
Sounds a little fishy to me. Usually when you drop weight that fast, what you're losing is "water weight" which creeps back on as soon as you start to eat again. My doctor told me that a reasonable weight loss goal was 2-3 pounds per week. Slow and steady. Yeah, it doesn't have the appeal of miracle weight loss, but if you lose slowly as the result of a lifestyle change, you're much less likely to regain the weight.
The Spring/Summer 2007 runway shows bloomed with flowers and butterfly motifs. Designers such as Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta and Marchesa added touches of romanticism to their collections by incorporating soft pastels, earth tones and beautiful floral themes. Nature-inspired jewelry is the perfect accessory for this season and beyond.
BodyRocks' "Garden" necklaces capture the essence of nature. One necklace features an ultra-feminine pink agate flower beautifully adorned on 17.5 inches of 14 kt. gold filled chain with champagne pearls. Another piece features a stunning pink agate butterfly delicately sitting on 21 inches of 14kt. gold filled chain with champagne pearls. These exclusive designs are the perfect accessory for the coming seasons and beyond. Similar designs have been seen on Paris Hilton, Scarlett Johansson and, of course, Mariah Carey.
Butterflies and flowers are a recurring trend this time of year. While these designs embody themes of life and beauty, there is much more behind their symbolic representation. An ancient Chinese legend tells a love story about a couple and their forbidden love. As they are re-united, they are transformed into butterflies and fly away together representing new life and eternal love.
These gorgeous necklaces are the "must-have" accessory of the season.
I love it that jewelry is getting the "back to nature" look. The butterflies are especially wonderful. With Mother's Day coming up, I'll have to keep that necklace in mind for my mom!

If this works better than some of the other cellulite reducers from over the years, it will be a big hit with anyone who has lost a fair amount of weight, male or female.
I wonder if this would work for men as well? I have a couple places with some minor stretch marks where I gained weight a few years ago and then lost it. I probably notice them more than anybody else, but do you think this product might help me out?
Stephanie - I've actually picked up my free 2 month sample last year and it works really well. Better than the over the counter stuff I've picked up in the past.
Malcolm - I know. This product is actually made by Hydroderm and it's a trusted beauty brand. I picked up a couple of customer reviews from their website, feel free to click on the links to Bodyshape above to read all of the reviews.
Told All of Her Friends That She Loves It! "This product is fantastic! I started using it a few months ago. I told all of my friends and they love it also. As a full-size model it is important to have smooth thighs, and now I have them. Thank you." -Linnet V. Caban**
Absolutely Loves It! "I am so ecstatic about Body Shape that I just had to write your company to say that FINALLY there is a product to help reduce cellulite. I am 44 years old, 130 pounds and am in very good shape due to weight lifting five days a week and the fact that I have been a massage therapist with a very busy practice. I have always been frustrated because no matter what I eat, how much water I drink or what cream I tried, I could never get rid of the cellulite on my thighs. I have been using Body Shape for about three months (twice a day) and I absolutely LOVE IT! The cellulite on my thighs has been reduced and I am thrilled! Please keep up the wonderful work and don’t ever change your formula (unless of course to improve it!) and thank you for making Body Shape so affordable." -C. Benko**
Mtatum4496 - That's a good question.... I sent Hydroderm a question if this is good for men. I'll post it up once I get an answer:)

LAS VEGAS - Because of the FDA's recent clearance of a hand-held laser device to treat hair loss and grow hair there has been a tremendous spark of interest in the promising laser hair therapy technology. NBC's Today Show will take a closer look this week at a few new laser devices available to consumers one of which is the Sunetics Laser Hair Brush. The Today Show report is scheduled to air on Thursday, March 15th within the first two hours of the show (7:00 - 9:00 a.m.).
"Low level laser therapy has shown great potential for treating certain types of male and female hair loss," said Alan J. Bauman, M.D., a prominent hair restoration physician and one of the nation's top experts on hair loss. "Laser therapy is an important part of a multi-therapy approach to restoring lost hair."
Dr. Bauman has been using Sunetics' laser devices since 2003. According to Dr. Bauman, low level laser therapy (LLLT) is believed to reactivate hair growth by stimulating live, but weakened, follicles at the cellular level.
Sunetics International's own clinical studies have shown that as a result of its laser therapy products, 86-percent of patients had healthier hair, 78-percent had thicker hair and 76-percent had fuller hair and over 85-percent were satisfied clients.
Sunetics International is a manufacturer of professional-grade laser systems for both in-office and at-home treatments. The company currently provides both its clinical laser "hood" systems and hand-held laser units to hair restoration physicians and dermatologists around the country and internationally. These include:
"Laser Hair Brush" - This hand-held laser device is cordless, portable, rechargeable and easy for patients to use in the privacy of their own homes. Average treatment time is just 10 to 15 minutes per day, three times per week.
"Clinical Laser Model E" - This is an in-office laser system available for physicians and medically supervised facilities. It provides 100-percent scalp coverage and is the most advanced LLLT device available in either the U.S. or international markets. Average treatment time is just 15 to 30 minutes.
Sunetics is currently submitting its Laser Hair Brush for FDA review as an approved treatment for growing hair. For more information about low level laser products from Sunetics, visit http://www.sunetics.com/.
The 'Catch and Release' star, who has a 15-month-old daughter Violet with husband Ben Affleck, is struggling with her role as a housewife.
Jennifer told Britain's You magazine: "I love reading cookbooks but I've had plenty of culinary disasters.
"Last summer, when we were living in a rented house in Boston while Ben was directing a movie, the fire department came rolling up because I'd set the fire alarm off. I got a pan too hot, put the chicken in and didn't know how to turn on the extractor fan." The 34-year-old admits she found it difficult to return to work after having Violet.
She said: "During my first two weeks back at work, I cried the whole way in and the whole way home, and Violet was with me. She was there in the trailer and I was still really freaked out. How could I let anyone pick up my baby, ever? It's really confusing and emotionally draining."

I just love Jennifer Garner, even if she did almost burn a house down!! Her daughter is so cute, and I think Jennifer and Ben are truly happy. She is so pretty, and seems like she'd be very nice, too!
I had not read this but I can understand where she is coming from. I was not a great cook when I first got married. I had my own dumb mistakes when it came to learning how to cook.
You really have to wonder what it is like to be Paris Hilton. Being one of the most popular socialite's in the world. Jetsetting and throwing yourself birthday parties in five different countries. Meeting beautiful people as priviledged as you.
What does socialite Paris Hilton have that we don't have? Men! Sinfully, Georgeous and Very Rich Men. Men like her ex-fiance Paris Latsis, an heir to a greek shipping empire.
Okay, so maybe just because we weren't born with Daddy Hilton's money doesn't mean that we can not meet men who are financially successful! Companies such as the High End Millionaire Dating Site offers introduction for equally beautiful models and men with a networth of over a million dollars. They have exclusive parties in mansions and yachts all across the United States where you can meet your own "sugardaddy" in luxurious social scene.
I had heard about this site from one of my friends. I am not single but I think I would feel out of my element dating a millionaire. Just don't think I would be good at hobnobbing with the rich.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the Sedu flat iron lately, and how to get "Sedu hair styles". Sedu has appeared in Allure and Variety magazines, and is endorsed by A-list celebs, such as Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez. It's true, the Sedu is a high quality flat iron, superior to any that you can pick up at your local drug store, but there are several other top of the line flat irons to choose from. My personal favorite is my Chi Flat Iron by Farouk, while some other stylists in my salon love their Paul Mitchell Smoothing Irons. All of these have ceramic plates, which provide even heat and produce negative ions, which cut down on frizz and leave your hair looking sleek. Be sure that you select a flat iron with ceramic plates, not just ceramic coated plates. The cheaper flat irons which have metal plates coated in ceramic do not provide good results, and will cause considerably more damage than a ceramic flat iron.
Now that we've got that out of the way, take a look at how easy it is to flat iron your hair, given the proper tools.
1. Start with hair that is completely dry. If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, blow it straight before you begin. Check out the article, "Blow Me - 6 Simple Steps to a Professional Quality Blow Dry" at my website http://www.hairbykelsi.com for instructions.
2. Use a small amount of product such as Paul Mitchell Heat Seal. You Don't need to drench it, you want it to be dry still, just give it a little spritz to protect it from the heat. Separate a 1/8" thick horizontal section at the nape of your neck and clip the rest of your hair up.
3. Starting near the scalp, comb through your hair with a fine-tooth comb, and follow closely with the flat iron. You don't have to race through this, but keep it moving. If the area you just went over doesn't look bone straight, go over it again. It shouldn't take more than two swipes to give you smooth results. You may notice steam coming off the iron, which is normal. However, if you hear a sizzling sound, it means that your hair is not dry enough.
4. Work around the section in that manner and when you have finished, let down another 1/8". Repeat step 3 until you are done.
5. Finish off with a small amount of product like Paul Mitchell Gloss Drops, avoiding the roots, and paying special attention to the ends, as that's where any damage is going to be most apparent, then style as desired.
You can also use your flat iron to flip out the ends, or to make large curls by twisting the flat iron down the hair. It's a very versatile tool, and can be fun to experiment with!

Some of those celebrities have lips that are *TOO* big. So, I wouldn't want that.
