What's in the Closet??

As a woman, despite all the proof that women are not the weaker sex, it is nonetheless harder to gain people’s respect, confidence, and admiration. The society’s deepest embedded belief is that men get the upperhand. Thus, woman are wired to stay at home, be the boss in the household and nowhere else, and to always rely on other people. But not anymore, now that you and plenty other girls out there who want more from life can do something about it.

Now, you can let your girl power out and exert your independence as a strong and powerful woman. Here’s how:

1. Set your own goals. Since olden times, women were expected to stay at home or to just support their husbands’ careers. They were not expected to have any goals of their own. As an independent woman in the 21st century, it’s time for you to start the fire in you by setting your own goals. Make sure your goals do not involve things you want to achieve together with your partner. Set goals that you want to achieve by yourself.

2. Make your own plans. Once you have goals, make plans as to how you can achieve them. But make sure your plans do not involve relying on outside help from your partner. Again, make plans that you can carry out on your own.

3. Examine your needs. The world’s age-old ideals of women being the weaker sex have made their way into many women’s lives, wreaking havoc along the way. You see it everywhere: women marrying multiple times, women with broken hearts, women jumping from one relationship to another, women on an endless search for a husband. Women are simply wired to need men.

You can’t be a strong and independent woman if you have a partner as a safety net. So take stock of your needs as a woman. Are you standing in the way of your own independence by constantly needing a man in your life? Do you seek your partner’s approval in everything you do? If so, then your needs are making you dependent. So you have to make adjustments to them.

If you do need to have a relationship, you’ll find that the confidence and strength of an independent woman can even attract men to you. You can consider that as a bonus.

4. Watch subliminal videos. The problem is, changing your perspective about your own gender can be difficult because of the age-old ideals that are in place in society. You’ll find resistance in yourself, in the deep recesses of your mind. From there you will hear whispers that women are simply looked at as weaker and that you are not expected to do achieve success like men are.

Not being expected to do something does not mean you shouldn’t do it. You deserve the chance to achieve something, and you deserve as much success and recognition from society as men do.

One good way of removing all these age-old ideals from your head is by watching subliminal videos telling you the exact opposite. These videos blast subliminal messages straight to your subconscious mind, embedding positive, confident, and uplifting thoughts about your power and ability as a strong and independent woman.

You can watch subliminal videos that command your brain to believe in thoughts like:

I am strong and powerful.
I am willing to fight for myself.
I am emotionally balanced and feel good.
I overcome obstacles easily with my mind.
My confidence grows more powerful each day.

The truth is that every mother is a working mom. She works around the house, does chores all day long, cooks, and cleans, picks up the kids from school. But, for mothers who tend to work outside their homes, balancing their careers with family life, brings far too many challenges and concerns on an every day basis. The foundation of staying sensible while at work and at home is to have stress relief skills and support from your partner and family. To top it all off, here are some suggestions to have a balanced home and work life.

The first step is to find a family friendly work place. Though sometimes you do get stuck with a job that requires long hours, and its tough to manage all the deadlines. But you might end up with some better option if you can play the working mom card. You may want to start your own business, or want to continue to work as an employee after pregnancy its entirely up to you. But it is advisable to choose the latter option. If you are out of a job currently and need to support your family, look for option to find decent work.

Get specific training or experiences that will improve your skill when you find a job. Do look for a job that also offers child care. Lets face it you have a toddler and you don’t want him or her running around the house. Try to find a good family friendly job that is close to home, and requires minimum travel. Working from home is also a popular option these days. Or you can negotiate with your boss to work a certain number of days at work per week only. The rest of the week you can send work from home.

Secondly, when you have found the right job, you have to deal with a bit of office politics. Most coworkers will ask themselves why she is getting special treatment. There is no need to act or pretend that you are childless, but you may also want to take a few steps to stay off the radar screens. For example, new moms who are working may want to schedule a doctors appointment after work or if possible they can do it on their lunch hour. Do not use your work time making frequent calls at home checking up on the kids, you know you got someone close taking care of them. Also do not use work time telling stories about the kids. Catch up on work to get an early leave on a day of work. In case, you are unable to attend a meeting, or travel for work related business on a particular time, do let your manager know beforehand so they can make proper arrangements.

Thirdly, work doesn’t have to collide with your home life. Its normal to get a call from work every now and then. But its another thing that you are getting calls from work even on your days off or after hours. You already have time management hassles to take care of. You have to give enough time to both work and home. Imagine what will happen if you get consumed by work and the family is feeling a bit neglected. You will need to create a firm boundary between work and home.

When women suffer from hair loss it is called female pattern baldness. This condition is very common, however misunderstood. This is when women loose hair in a typical pattern. This article will describe the symptoms, causes, diagnostic methods and treatment.

As previously stated, female pattern balding is the technical term for women. Women can begin to lose their it at any age, and should be aware that it can happen to them. Balding is not the same in women as it is men. Although the process is the same, women are not as likely to lose as much as men do. Men can become bald, whereas women tend to only thin or bald in spots.

The symptoms of female pattern baldness are thinning over the entire head or at the crown or hairline. The symptoms may seem simple, but in reality they are not always noticeable. When women experience thinning it is not usually noticed until it becomes extremely thin. If hair is lost at the crown or hair line it is more often noticed, but frequently ignored. Women may think their balding is a phase or that the hair will grow back.

The causes of female pattern balding are not as simple as the symptoms. The cause of balding is not an exact science. To understand balding you must first understand how hair grows. Hair is likely to grow about an inch and a half per month. Each follicle can grow anywhere from 2 to 6 years. After it is one growing it will fall out and be replaced. Balding takes place when it does not grow back in. Although the reasons for balding are not exact, many physicians associate it with age, genetic predispositions, and hormones.

When diagnosing female pattern baldness a physician will normally go by appearance. Because this is a disorder that the symptoms are visible to the eye, appearance is the best way to diagnose. Other test can be run to see if a medical disorder is causing the loss, but as for the balding itself just looking is the best method.

Female pattern balding is a permanent disorder and is more common than you think. Because it is permanent there is not proven method of treatment that works for everyone. One treatment method women have tried is medication. There is only one medication approved in the United States and the success rates are not high. On average medication can help it grow back in 20% to 25% of women. The other method of treatment is a transplant. Hair transplants remove follicles from particularly thick spots and places it in follicles where balding is occurring. Both of these methods of treatment are extremely expensive and are not guaranteed to work. To get medication or transplants people must be preapproved and meet specific guide lines. Before looking into medical treatments for balding a physician should be contacted.

Female pattern baldness is not common, however can occur. Thinning of follicles should not be ignored and balding should always be taken into consideration.

When you consider the options available, laser body sculpting seems to be a much wiser choice than traditional liposuction.

Traditional liposuction has a twenty year history, and the benefits, as well as side effects have been well proven and studied over the years. Laser body sculpting, on the other hand, has only been available for a short time. It was only approved in North America in 2007. This raises concerns amongst some physicians. Some think that the fatty acids that are released have the potential to damage the liver over the long term. The procedure has, however, been used for about ten years in other regions of the world, giving it some mid length term credibility. Another concern that is often expressed about laser body sculpting is the cost. It is much more costly than its traditional liposuction predecessor. This makes the more cost effective traditional liposuction a better option for many people.

Cost is not the only thing to be considered, though. Traditional liposuction requires a general anesthetic for the procedure. That adds a certain factor of danger to the process. Laser body sculpting can be performed while the patient is awake. This reduces a minor risk factor, but a risk factor nonetheless.

Traditional liposuction also has a history of causing bleeding and swelling. This results in a long and painful recovery time. Laser body sculpting has the benefit of heat, which seals up the wounds. This reduces swelling and bleeding. The natural results are quicker and less painful recovery time.

One other negative attribute to traditional liposuction is that many people do not like what they see when the procedure is finished. The fat is taken away, but the skin remains stretched out and droopy. One problem is removed, but another one comes up in its place. How would you feel if you just paid thousands of dollars to make your body look better, and you did not like how your body looked after the procedure was finished?

Laser body sculpting has a much better track record for people being happy with the results when the surgery is finished. The skin is not left sagging and drooping, because an natural byproduct of laser body sculpting is the body’s production of collagen.

Collagen is what causes our skin to stay tight and elastic. When the body produces more collagen, the drooping and sagging skin naturally tightens up and becomes more aesthetically appealing.

Another great benefit to laser body sculpting is that the probe is a fair bit smaller than the one for traditional liposuction. This makes the new surgery much less invasive and dangerous than the traditional one. The smaller probe also means a smaller incision is needed for the insertion. This greatly decreases the scarring from the procedure.

Depending on your needs and financial situation, both surgical types of fat reduction can do the trick. The tried and tested traditional liposuction will permanently get rid of that fat at a substantially lower cost. The new laser body sculpting method, though, will produce better results with a quicker recovery time.

The choice is yours.

Excess estrogen has led to estrogen dominance; causing hormonal imbalance in women at an ever-earlier age and to a significantly greater degree then has ever been known. Estrogen levels in women are naturally higher, but in their mid-30′s both estrogen and progesterone levels begin to drop in women. Progesterone levels drop to where a woman is producing near zero, but estrogen levels only decline by 40 to 60 percent, leaving the woman in a state of estrogen dominance.

Estrogen dominance in western women is greatly exasperated by taking birth control pills. The active ingredient in any birth control pill is synthetic estrogen and taking birth control pills only elevates estrogen levels well beyond what they otherwise would be. Synthetic Estrogen is also the active ingredient in HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). Taking estrogen, in any form, in any dosage, unnaturally increases the body’s estrogen levels.

Estrogen is emitted by virtually all plastic products; including the plastic in the dashboard and seats of your car. In the process of manufacturing aluminum cans estrogen is produced and minute amounts of estrogen leak into any product packaged in aluminum cans. Food wrapped or packaged in aluminum foil also absorbs estrogen. Given the amount of food consumed in western societies from food packaged or wrapped in aluminum products the build-up of estrogen in the body over time is substantial. Excess estrogen is believed to be the primary cause behind the 40-60% drop in sperm counts in western men.

Combination of these factors has caused estrogen dominance to be epidemic among women in industrialized countries. Increasing the gap between estrogen and progesterone to such a degree women are not only suffering from estrogen dominance, but from progesterone deficiency at the same time.

There has never been a single scientific study to date that even suggests estrogen or HRT will prevent heart disease or the hip fractures so common in women with osteoporosis. The American Heart Association now takes the official position that HRT does not prevent heart disease, but in fact probably increases the incidence of heart attack in women.

There is only one scientifically and undeniable proven fact concerning estrogen; excess intake of any form of estrogen leads to various forms of cancer. It is unwise to say the least for any woman, at any age or at any time in her life, for any reason whatsoever to take any form of estrogen. Given these alarming facts concerning estrogen it behooves women to understand how the progesterone-estrogen equation works in their bodies.

Estrogen without a doubt causes breast fibrocycts; progesterone protects against breast fibrocycts. Estrogen increases body fat; progesterone helps use the body’s fat for energy. Estrogen is a major reason for salt and fluid retention in women; progesterone is a natural diuretic. Estrogen is known to increase blood clotting; progesterone normalizes blood clotting. Estrogen causes endometrial cancer; progesterone prevents endometrial cancer. Estrogen greatly increases the risk of breast cancer; progesterone helps prevent breast cancer.

When comparing the negative effects of estrogen to the positive effects of progesterone, one finds a near perfect balance between the hormones. Clearly and indisputably, natural progesterone is absolutely necessary to counter-act and prevent the many negative effects of estrogen dominance.

Being pregnant is a uniquely rewarding experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Your body will slowly expand as your unborn baby grows inside you. You’ll find yourself reminiscing about your life prior to getting pregnant while wondering what your life will be like after your newborn arrives. This is the time during which you call your girlfriends and family to connect and enjoy their company. You’ll spend time shopping for baby clothes, preparing the nursery, and planning for your little one’s arrival.

Below, we’ll offer a few tips for making the most of your pregnancy. The following ideas will ensure that you look back on this time with a fond smile and a hint of nostalgia.

Soak Up The Attention

People enjoy being near pregnant women. As you enter your third trimester and your growing stomach takes on the unmistakable air of a mom-to-be, you’ll find yourself the center of attention. Some people will ask when you’re due. Others will inquire about your baby’s gender. Still others will share their own pregnancy memories. And of course, a few will reach out to touch your tummy.

If you’re unaccustomed to receiving this level of attention, the experience may seem startling at first. Enjoy it while it lasts. Not only does each person mean well, but once your baby arrives, she’ll steal the spotlight.

Get Some Sleep

After childbirth, you’ll have scant opportunities to sleep restfully. Midnight feedings, sporadic crying, and myriad other things will prevent your mind and body from getting the rest you crave. Stock up now. Make a point of setting aside your “to do” lists and taking naps throughout the day. You’ll feel energized and rested, which is important while you’re carrying your little one.

If possible, take naps at the same time each day to train your mind and body to expect them. Take one before lunch and one in the afternoon. A half hour is ideal because it will invigorate you without taking too much time during the day. Plus, any longer than a half hour might make you feel woozy.

Build Your Baby’s Nursery

There is no better time for planning and building your baby’s nursery (you’ll definitely lack the time when she arrives). Plan the color scheme. Make a list of the furniture and other items you’ll need to buy. Start doing research online regarding some of the bigger items, such as cribs, changing tables, and baby swings. Purchase as much as you can in advance to save yourself time once your little one is born.

Veer Off Your Diet (A Little)

Proper nutrition during your pregnancy is critical. The right blend of vitamins, nutrients, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are important for your health and the health of your baby. But indulging yourself once in awhile is valuable. Taking a welcome break from a strict diet is a rare treat that will lift your mood and stimulate your taste buds. As long as you’re providing your body with a proper mix of good foods, treating yourself to an occasional culinary delight is fine. It’s recommended, even.

It’s the little things that matter most while you’re pregnant that can make the experience unforgettable. By itself, a daily nap may seem insignificant. But the energy and mood lift it provides can be irreplaceable. Likewise, enjoying your time in the spotlight may feel uncomfortable at first, but you’ll quickly look forward to receiving the well-meaning attention of strangers.

Enjoy this extraordinary nine-month journey toward childbirth. Pamper yourself. Indulge yourself. Treat your body and mind well during your pregnancy. Years down the road, you’ll look back on this time with affectionate memories. These memories will remain with you for the rest of your life.

During your first trimester, your body will slowly begin to expand in order to make room for your baby. But it will happen so gradually that you may not need to immediately purchase maternity clothes for the office. In fact, there are plenty of stopgap measures you can incorporate before you finally make the transition to pregnancy wear. For example, unfasten one of the top buttons on your pants and untuck your blouse to cover the space. You can also wrap a rubber band around the loose button to provide a little extra breathing room.

Eventually, you’ll need to shift your workplace wardrobe to maternity wear. In this article, we’ll provide a few helpful hints for making the transition as seamlessly as possible.

Making The Transition To Maternity Clothes

Right before pregnancy clothes become essential for maintaining your comfort, you’ll enter a transition period. It’s during this time that your body will appear as if you have gained a few pounds, but few people would guess you’re pregnant. Skirts with elastic waistbands will still fit comfortably and conveniently, though you may need to move up a size. You’ll be able to get away with wearing long shirts, cardigans, and low-rise pants for a short time as your tummy grows.

Before long, your body will have passed the point beyond which normal office clothes will suffice. You’ll need to officially transition into maternity wear. By this time, you should have a good idea regarding the type of outfits you’d like to own for your wardrobe.

Building Your Wardrobe

The type of clothing you purchase should reflect the normal attire worn at the office. Some workplaces maintain a protocol of strict business wear while others are far more causal (though still professional). Assuming your office leans toward business attire, consider buying seven or eight pieces in complimentary colors that you can mix and match. Buy one or two pairs of pants, a jacket, a skirt, a few blouses, and a dress. By mixing and matching, you should be able to create nearly a dozen outfits, and even more if you mix in a few cardigans.

Also, consider asking friends and family who have had children whether you can borrow some of their old workplace pregnancy clothes. Even if you only manage to work a few extra items into your growing wardrobe, you’ll be able to create a large number of new looks.

Dressing For Evening Events

Many companies organize evening events at which their employees are expected to make an appearance. This may have been a simple matter of scheduling before you became pregnant. Now, with a growing stomach, attending requires a little fashion finesse.

First, black is always a good choice for evening wear because it has a slimming effect and it’s appropriate regardless of the season. Second, black is an ideal color for adding hints of jewelry and other accessories. Small earrings, a thin necklace, or even a colorful scarf can add a subtle splash of style and sophistication. This is an opportunity to indulge yourself in a high-quality suit or dress that fits comfortably and looks great.

Shopping On A Limited Budget

Many maternity wear designers have priced their clothes at an affordable level for working women. Even so, creating an entire wardrobe can put a strain on any budget. As mentioned earlier, begin listing the office maternity clothes you want to buy before your body forces you to make the transition. Start with seven or eight items that you can mix and match for a variety of different looks. Then, splurge and buy an attractive, elegant evening outfit that you can use for company events and going on dates with your partner.

Consider these clothes an investment in your comfort and confidence. They’ll help you maintain your professional appearance leading up to your maternity leave.

If you want to find an effective skin tightening remedy, you just need to know what ingredients to look for. This article provides the ingredient information that you need.

The causes of lost firmness include loss of the fatty tissue layer, decreased production of elastic fibers and low levels of hyaluronic acid. Free radical damage, usually caused by overexposure to the sun, complicates matters. Then, there is always genetics to consider.

Some of these problems can be addressed easily, with a nourishing topical cream. Others, such as genetics, cannot.

Loss of the fatty tissue layer is something that a cosmetic surgeon can take care of by injecting fillers. But, the appearance is not very natural looking. Many people are dissatisfied, particular sense they often pay a great deal of money for the service.

There are side effects, as well. Bruising at the sight of injection is one side effect. Irritation is another. But, the most frustrating is when the fillers harden beneath the skin’s layers and form bumps.

In order to dissolve the bumps, doctors use more injections. So, there is more pain and more costs, when all the patient really wanted was an effective skin tightening remedy. At best, the injections should be a last resort.

Decreased production of elastic fibers is something that can be addressed with topically applied creams. Researchers typically refer to it as stimulating collagen production. A number of different ingredients have proven beneficial for that purpose.

One of the most effective is a patented compound called Functional Keratin. Keratin, itself, cannot be patented, because it is a naturally occurring protein. The processes used to soften keratin, without rendering it inactive are patented by the KERATEC Company in New Zealand.

Judging from the clinical trials, Functional Keratin is an effective skin tightening remedy. After 18 days of use, the studies showed a 42% improvement in the skin’s elasticity or tightness.

Functional Keratin works in several ways to improve the skin’s appearance. First, it pulls moisture into the skin’s layers, which plumps it up. Second, it stimulates the production of new skin cells, which is something that normally slows down with age.

Along with the new skin cells come more antioxidants, which help to reverse free radical damage and prevent further damage from occurring. Although it may not be the only ingredient that you need, it is one that you cannot do without, if you want an effective skin tightening remedy.

One of the other effective ingredients is wakame kelp extract. It addresses the issue of low levels of hyaluronic acid by inhibiting the enzymatic activity that normally breaks it down.

Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the skin’s smoothness. When the levels become low with age, smoothness is lost, along with one’s youthful appearance.

To stimulate the production of elastic fibers, it seems that all we need do is apply some nutrients, primarily proteins and antioxidants. So, the most effective skin tightening remedy is more like a nutritional supplement than anything else. It’s just one that you apply to the outside of your body.

Women have been looking for effective skin tightening oils throughout recorded history and probably before that. Tribal healers were aware of effective moisturizers and salves.

They knew the benefits provided by the oil expressed from nuts and seeds. They were also aware of fruits and other plants that were beneficial for the skin’s health and appearance, when pounded into a salve or butter.

Modern-day research has proven that these ancient remedies are indeed effective. In some cases, they have even been able to explain “why” they are effective. Here are a few examples.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba is a plant native to the southwestern United States and parts of Central America. The seeds are pressed for the oil that they contain, which is somewhat waxy in composition.

The molecular composition of the liquid wax is very similar to sebum, the oil produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands. It is also rich in vitamin E, which has been shown in separate studies to stimulate collagen production, prevent age spots and reduce wrinkles.

Jojoba has been used to reduce stretch marks and fade scars. It is one of the skin tightening oils found in the better body lotions.

Olive Oil

Many women swear that they owe their continued beauty to the regular use of olive oil. Scientific evaluations have shown that olive oil is close to the skin’s sebum and can easily be absorbed into it. So, it can improve the skin’s moisture content, which could also “tighten” it.

Like jojoba and other plant-based oil, it is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, necessary for the skin’s health and beauty. However, the better companies do not use straight olive oil, because it is too greasy. They use a lipid fraction of it, which is non-oily and can be used on any skin type.

Olive and other skin tightening oils are found in today’s better anti-aging body lotions. They may cost a little more than the discount store varieties, but they feel luxurious.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is commonly found in anti-aging night creams for a number of reasons. It has been used historically throughout Africa, where the tree naturally grows, as a pharmaceutical, to help heal all kinds of skin problems.

A high grade of Shea butter can be expected to provide a transformation in the skin’s appearance in a relatively short period of time. Although it is not one of the skin tightening oils, it is an effective ingredient.

Kelp Extracts

Kelp extracts, particularly extracts from wakame, have been shown to inhibit the breakdown of one of the skin’s most important compounds, at least when it comes to firmness and smoothness. That compound is called hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid levels lower with age. Because of that, the skin’s surface begins to look less smooth and more wrinkled. Wakame kelp extracts can help reverse that problem by reducing the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. The ingredient is found in the better body and facial creams on the market, today.

As you can see, skin tightening oils are not the only effective ingredients. The ones mentioned here are only a few of the effective natural compounds to look for.
