According to some studies, the practice of yoga can help you prepare your mind and body for labor and birth as this helps you to concentrate and keep you healthy. There are gentle yoga poses for pregnant women to keep their body active and supple, and help minimize common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness and constipation.

Browsing over Wikipedia out of boredom, I was amazed to find out that, “Houston is the seat of the internationally-renowned Texas Medical Center, which contains the world’s largest concentration of research and healthcare institutions”. What’s more is that the 45 member institutions of the Texas Medical Center are all non-profit organizations.

Consequently, when I read that Russell W. H. Kridel, M.D., F.A.C.S., one of the country’s premier surgeons, is working in Houston, Texas plastic surgery, I wasn’t surprised. As the president of a prestigious academy of facial plastic surgeons in the United States, Dr. Kridel made a good choice in being in Houston. After all, where better to be in for a surgeon than in the seat of a research institution.

My Aunty Gie, who has been working in New York nursing homes for five years, recently visited us. During our family gathering, she relayed some fascinating information about nursing homes’ complete range of senior care facilities and services.

In spite of this, she said that for utmost quality life for your senior loved ones, you need not spend a lot on those senior housings and services. Having your own family take care of you as you grow old is the best solution. After all, nothing beats family care. To that, I agree.

On Having a Bikini Wax

I love water. I love the beach and the pool. I love to swim.

I have been swimming since I was four. I even trained for a swimming competition in my 2nd year in high school. Nevertheless, I have always been self-conscious whenever I’m in my swim suit, especially when I wear a bikini. You see, I’m having a hard time selecting a bikini that will ensure that hair from the pubic area won’t show.

I thought of shaving them off or getting a bikini wax, but I wasn’t comfortable with the idea. I even attempted on shaving just some of it for argument’s sake, and I got a rash from my attempt. Then I encountered Brazilian Waxing Guide from my friend.

Unlike the usual trimming, Brazilian wax is when all hair is removed from the pubic area. Although Brazilian wax is not for every woman as it might feel a bit uncomfortable and unfamiliar when it is done for the first time, my friend told me it feels very natural and it was the best way to get rid of those annoying hairs. Of course, for first timers like me, it is best to go to a professional salon so that there will be no mistakes and the process will be less painful.

I suggest you read the Brazilian Waxing Guide first before trying it out.

On Vanity and Self-Esteem

health & society, health & beauty No Comments »

Vanity is often associated with being conceited and Narcissism. In some religious preaching, vanity is even regarded as a sin because they consider it as a form of self-idolatry.

Then again there is vanity for self-esteem and Narcissism-vanity. The latter involves too much love of oneself to the point of self-destruction and being conceited. Vanity for self-esteem on the other hand means loving yourself in a way that you ensure that you bring out the best of what you are or what you can be – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Self-esteem, after all is important. It reflects a person’s overall self-appraisal of his/her own worth. Moreover, according to Wikipedia, “It involves one’s mental perception of one’s qualities, not of one’s physical features.”

If improving your self-esteem means entailing vanity in some aspect (e.g. availing of cosmetic surgery to improve once appearance), then by all means, go for it. After all, life is full of problems; the more self-esteem you have, the better your chances in overcoming your problems and in succeeding in your goal.

Two Layers of Eyebrows

A friend of mine named Julia has recently migrated to Australia after her retirement from work. I thought of sending Julia a letter to inform her of what The Victorian Cosmetic Institute in Melbourne Australia, which is close to the place where she resides now can offer her. I know Julia will be happy to receive my letter since she used to share with me her concerns including that of dreaming to improve her personal appearance.

Looking beautiful is what every woman desires and to spend for this is not a big deal. More than ten years ago, Julia had her eyebrow tattooed. She did not like the way it was done, thus she had it removed. Unfortunately, the process was not successful. Today Julia has two layers of eyebrows. If you happen to meet her face to face, you will be amazed. As such, instead of improving her face value, having the two layers eyebrow gave her the inferiority complex.

In my letter, I informed Julia that her eyebrow problem will easily be solved thru the laser tattoo removal. She must take advantage of the expertise of the cosmetic institute since it offers a broad range of cosmetic treatments, such as laser hair removal and lip enhancements that are mainly non invasive. The doctors of the institute are highly experienced in laser treatments; hence Julia will be able to get the best advice for her treatment.

I am afraid that after Julia’s treatment and she returns for a vacation, I will not be able to recognize her anymore, for this simple reason - two layers of eyebrow are missing.
