There is nothing more blissful than the comforting gentle aroma of vanilla. With Lavanila’s Healthy Pure Vanilla Roller-Ball Fragrance and the nourishing, hydrating, but non-greasy Healthy Pure Vanilla Body Butter, you’ll transition into the warmer spring/summer weather surrounded with the inviting natural subtle aroma of vanilla, and soft nourished skin that won’t go unnoticed!

Lavanila’s Healthy Pure Vanilla Roller-Ball Fragrance is packaged in a perfect travel, go everywhere size, and is delightfully spill proof!

There’s even more…as you are applying the lovely fragrance, you’ll also receive a healthy “uplifting dose” of:
“30 essential vitamins and minerals and 19 amino acids including,
• Gogi Berries – One of the highest anti-oxidant rich foods on earth and filled with beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamins B1, B2, and B6.
• Kakadu Plum – One of the most potent anti-oxidants with 500 times the amount of Vitamin C as an orange by weight!
• Canadian Willow Bark – A powerful anti-oxidant that helps balance, soothe and protect the skin from free radical damage.”

The powerful combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids listed above are “delivered to the skin and locked below the skin’s epidermis via an exclusive marine technology.” In fact, Lavanila leads the way as first to ” fuse luxury fragrance with natural science.” For that reason, no matter which Healthy Lavanila Fragrance you choose, the roller-ball or the spray, the 100% natural pure essential oils and botanicals will calm your skin!

Lavanila does not use ingredients that would dry or damage your skin such as “chemically-laden alcohol, petrochemicals, phthalates, synthetic colors, silicone, synthetic preservatives, sulfates, paragons, or propylene glycol! As a result, you can always feel confident that you are wearing a product with pure essential oil fragrance that’s good for you and your skin.”
*(This also holds true for the Lavanila Healthy Body Butters that will be introduced later in this article!)

In addition to Healthy Pure Vanilla, there are some other Lavanila Healthy Roller-ball fragrances for you to choose from that I’m sure you’ll enjoy:
•Vanilla Grapefruit • Vanilla Coconut • Vanilla Lavender & •Vanilla Passion Fruit!

The Lavanila Healthy Pure Vanilla Body Butter is a perfect compliment to the Healthy Pure Vanilla Roller-Ball Fragrance. It’s very portable, and imparts a wonderful feel to your skin.

What’s so nice about Lavanila is that the fragrances are healthy for your skin, and now you’ll be able to add their new 100% natural Body Butter to your regime for additional “skin food” moisturization !

Like the Healthy Fragrances, the Healthy Body Butter “will also provide a healthful dose of 30 essential vitamins and minerals using:
• Proprietary Marine Technology – survival molecules that lock in vitamins and moisture while protecting the skin from free-radical damage.
• 100% Pure Cocoa Butter that reduces dryness, improves elasticity and soothes the skin.

As May approaches, it heralds the start of National Arthritis Awareness Month!

The intent of this article is to enlighten women about osteoarthritis (OA), and educate them about the treatment, options, and care for OA.

Before our exceptional and informative interview with Virginia Osteoarthritis Surgeon, Dr. Manish A. Patel, lets talk a bit about osteoarthritis.

What actually is osteoarthritis? “Osteoarthritis is a disease that over time can break down the cartilage and require treatment or joint replacement!”

Are you aware that women who are over the age of 50 are more apt to develop osteoarthritis (OA) than men? It’s true!

In fact, actual joint replacement is a lot different than it was during our mother’s generation! I can attest to that as a fact! My mother had an accident involving her knee when she was younger. Over the years, personally choosing to “put off” the recommended surgical joint replacement option due to uncertainty and fear, her knee progressively became worse. It was really too bad because in todays standards she still was at a very productive age, and had limited herself with a condition that, “nipped in the bud”, would have changed her whole life.

Therefore, ladies, it’s crucial that we empower ourselves about OA by learning how to manage and treat this disease!

It’s really so unfortunate that people who suffer from severe hip or knee pain still wait on an average of seven to eleven years before having joint replacement surgery!! (Once again, reminding me of my mother’s situation, and her fear, misinformation, and lack of awareness about treatment options.)

Check out the following facts about joint replacement in the twenty-first century, and let common sense be your guide :

DePuy Synthes
Joint Replacement – Joint Reconstruction

• “The average length of hospital stay for a total hip replacement was just 3.7 days in 2007-08, versus the average stay of almost 10 days in 1991-92, so women who opt for surgery may return to their families, careers and other activities much sooner.”
• “Many women think of joint replacement as a procedure their parents may be considering, but people are getting joint replacements at a younger age. In fact, more 45-64 year olds are having joint replacement surgery than ever before.”
• “In 2011, more than 650,000 total knee replacements and 325,000 total hip replacements were performed in the U.S.”

Manish A. Patel, MD, FAAOS, is an orthopaedic surgeon in Virginia. In the interview below, Dr. Patel shares a very easy to understand and thorough overview of :
• Osteoarthritis – the most common form of arthritis
• Ways to manage osteoarthritis
• Advances in technology

VICKI: When patients challenged with hip or joint pain come to see you , what do you often determine is the cause of their problem?

DR. PATEL: One of the most common reasons people complain of hip or knee pain is because of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the body. In the United States it affects approximately 27 million adults every year according to the Arthritis Foundation.

VICKI: What exactly is Osteoarthritis, how does it affect a persons body, and cause such discomfort?

DR. PATEL: Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of the joints in the body. Patients with osteoarthritis will experience chronic pain and stiffness that affects the activities of daily living. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joint breaks down and the bones start rubbing against each other. Over time, the cartilage is diminished; and when the bones start rubbing against each other, it creates a significant amount of inflammation in the joint, which causes the patient’s joints to swell.

VICKI: Is Osteoarthritis curable?

DR. PATEL: Osteoarthritis is not completely understood and there is no cure. Some of the risk factors include family history, age, obesity, joint injury, overuse, nerve injury or lack of physical activity. Typically, symptoms begin to appear after the age of 40 and progress slowly. It is a degenerative condition that may slow with early treatment, but affected joints continue to get worse and eventually impact activity level.

VICKI: How do you diagnose and treat Osteoarthritis?

DR. PATEL: Osteoarthritis diagnosis is typically based on a number of things, including medical history, physical examination, x-rays, MRI and/or laboratory tests. It is important for people experiencing severe hip or knee pain to talk with an orthopaedic surgeon in order to know their specific treatment options.

Some of the conservative treatments to treat osteoarthritis can be anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, cortisone injections, and visco-supplementation injections such as Orthovisc (aka rooster shots).

Individuals experiencing joint pain continue to put off treatment in hopes that their joint pain will get better because they are unaware of their options. As the arthritis progresses, they live with pain and continued limited activities of daily living and activities that they enjoy. The individuals do less walking, become dependent on pain medications and start using assistive devices such as canes and walkers. People are sometimes unaware that there have been significant advances in hip and knee replacement surgery since their parents and grandparents had the procedure done. Over time, surgeons have refined surgical approaches in an effort to minimize post-operative discomfort and make the procedure easier for patients to tolerate and recover from.

VICKI: Would you please share some of the new advances in Joint Replacement?

DR. PATEL: One such technique is the anterior hip replacement, a less invasive option to traditional hip replacement surgery. With anterior approach, surgeons make one small 3-5” incision on the front (anterior surface of the hip) and work between muscles and tissue without cutting or separating them from either the hip or thigh bones, reducing muscle trauma. Many candidates for hip replacement surgery expect a long and sometimes painful recovery and they are quite relieved that the anterior hip approach can get them back on their feet into normal everyday activities sooner than they think.

In addition to this, a new advance in total knee replacement includes development and use of personalized surgical instruments, which assists surgeons in knee alignment at the time of the actual procedure. Obtaining neutral alignment is critical in long-term success of the knee replacement surgery. I use the TruMatch® system, from DePuy Synthes Joint Reconstruction, which is a customized instrumentation system specifically designed for individual patients from a CAT scan taken of their knee. I perform a muscle-sparing knee replacement that allows my patients to be off a cane or walker in less than two weeks.

With significant advances in instrumentation, implants and techniques, total joint replacement can provide significant pain relief and allow patients to live an active lifestyle again.

VICKI: That is very encouraging. How would a person seek help for their joint pain ?

DR. PATEL: Most individuals with chronic hip or knee pain wait an average of 7 to 11 years before they have joint replacement surgery. Many people delay joint replacement surgery because they are afraid they don’t have the right information or don’t understand the treatment options. A lot of the myths and questions can be answered by talking to an orthopaedic surgeon.

In my role as a total joint replacement surgeon, I meet with my patients
several times prior to surgery and help answer any questions they may have.

I also put the patients in touch with some of my previous patients such as Larry, a knee replacement patient featured on:
http://www.reallifetested.com to help answer any questions they may have from a different perspective. Larry is the typical patient who led an active lifestyle and started having progressive pain in his knee, stiffness, swelling and failed conservative treatment. He continued to modify his lifestyle where he did less and less things. Ultimately, he ended up getting a knee replacement. Within two weeks, he was back on the football field as a coach running right next to his football players on the sideline. Larry and others like him are also featured on: http://www.HadIKnownThen.com

Like many surgeons, our practice offers additional resources and support such as a total joint replacement education program where patients have the opportunity to visit the hospital and meet the operating staff and nurses that will be with the patient every step of the way. To get more information about my practice please visit:
http://www.SouthamptonOrtho.com.

VICKI: Thank you some much, Dr. Patel, for all of your in-depth and easy to understand information regarding osteoarthritis and dealing with it, joint replacement, new technology, and wonderful links for even more sources to peruse. Much success in your ongoing efforts to help patients live more productive lives with all of the advancements to deal with osteoarthritis. What a wonderful contribution as we start Arthritis Awareness Month in May!

I’m so glad that I was referred to the De La Baie Skincare page on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/delabaieskincare?fref=ts

I wanted to find out more about this natural line of skincare that was influenced by berries from the Arctic, so my next stop was the De La Baie Skincare website: http://www.delabaie-skincare.com!

Here I read that in 2006, Dr. Kathy Green, Consultant Dermatologist, and Miriam Good, who both shared the same dedication to develop a top notch line of skincare products using superior ingredients, joined forces to pursue their research. It led them to the Finnish Lapland at the end of the Arctic Circle, where a research company had found an abundance of (quote) “unique berries and plants harvested from this unspoiled Arctic wilderness”, and had a process enabling these berries to maintain their powerful properties that Dr. Green realized could be utilized in skin care.” This was the beginning of what would end up being the “core” ingredients in the De La Baie Skincare product line!
You can read this complete fascinating story by going to: http://delabaie-skincare.com/about-us/our-history/

Not only is De La Baie Skincare very pure and natural, but they offer products for women, men, children, and unisex products that can be used by “all”! As a result, everyone at any age is able to benefit from the variety of items available in this “berry inspired” skincare line!

I had the opportunity to try three products from De La Baie. Motivated to keep my skin firm and youthful looking, I was sent the following products to try:

Rose Gel Facewash:

This cleanser has a wonderful texture and the aroma is heavenly. Paired with the included muslin facial cloth, which is such a treat to wash your face with, my skin felt very clean and fresh with no dryness at all after cleansing. The soft rose scent of the Rose Gel Facewash lingered and was quite uplifting! Use the Rose Gel Face Wash in the morning and evening.

Revitalizing Face Serum:

The serum is great! It has substance to it and glides on your face leaving your skin feeling like satin with no residue! You lightly massage the serum up and out around your face, neck, and personally, I always massage up and around the back of my ears, as well, for a nice lifting feel and effect! Between the massage and the aroma of the serum, I found it very relaxing.
Use the Revitalizing Face Serum in the evening after cleansing your skin.

Intensive Face Cream:

Wow! The Intensive Face Cream is another winner!! I used it both morning and evening, and it had a creamy texture but was very light weight. I used the same massage technique with this cream and my skin looked very healthy and hydrated. The aroma was a great finish to the routine. In the morning, I have to say, my skin really looked rested and supple. After completing the De La Baie morning routine, my makeup applied beautifully!

Be sure you visit the website and peruse all of the products De La Baie has to offer for your whole family. Here is the De La Baie website , once again:
http://www.delabaie-skincare.com

De La Baie is a line you need to feel. It’s essence is like a breath of fresh air, and the textures and aromas are simply delightful.

A 5-STAR review for De La Baie, and the best to Dr.Kathy Green and Miriam Good for their dedicated research in creating De La Baie!

Earlier in March, St. Petersburg, Florida resident Cathy “Cookie” Cottrell was announced as one of the 15 winners of the National “Rewrite Your Day” contest. The 15 winners symbolized the Chronic Migraine diagnosis which is (Quote) “a neurological condition that brings on 15 or more days with a headache per month, and lasting four hours a day or longer, and 8 or more headache days associated with Migraine. Migraines are also know for their symptoms of visual disturbances, nausea and/or vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound!” As a result, many “Special” moments are lost in the life of a person who has “Chronic Migraine”!

Cathy had such an inspirational story that I wanted to share it with you. I believe we’ve all experienced headaches in our lives, but as I learned more about Chronic Migraine headaches, it really “opened my eyes” about the ongoing challenge Chronic Migraine sufferers had to deal with on a daily basis.

We’ll start at the beginning with some information about the “Rewrite Your Day” Contest…

Allergan, Inc ,(Quote) “A multi specialty health care company established more than 60 years ago with a commitment to uncover the best of science and develop and deliver innovative and meaningful treatments to help people reach their life’s potential, and The National Headache Foundation (NHF),(Quote) “a nonprofit organization that has pioneered the way headaches have been diagnosed and treated over the last 41 years, jointly sponsored the “Rewrite Your Day” Campaign.

Their intent was to provide a nation wide educational venture that would inform, enlighten, and bring more understanding about debilitating symptoms and problems associated with Chronic Migraine! They would also provide a “Rewrite Your Day” contest where a chosen winner who lives with Chronic Migraine would be able to “recreate” a special day or event that they lost in their life, due to Chronic Migraine!

Recreating a day for this contest was just perfect for Celebrity Event Planner, Mindy Weiss, who came onboard with the campaign and would actually recreate a “lost” special day for each of the 15 winners of the contest! 25th anniversary.Their son and his girlfriend were joining them for the celebration at Disney World. Cathy’s Chronic Migraine “reared it’s head” and from neck stiffness, to overall weakness, Cathy, who tried to enjoy the fun, but due to ongoing and ever increasing pain she spent most of the trip in the hotel room, and certainly missed out on the opportunity to enjoy her “silver” anniversary! .

Regarding Chronic Migraine Cathy said, (Quote) “I’m sharing my story so that others living with Chronic Migraine will get the help they need by speaking with a headache specialist who can find a treatment plan that is right for them! I’m so excited to get the chance to work with celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss to re-create my silver wedding anniversary and renew my vows to my husband in front of my closest family and friends.”

Here’s a picture of Cathy and her husband enjoying this special event, as Cathy was able to “Rewrite HER Day!”

In Conclusion:
Ms.Weiss planned a wonderful Disney-themed ceremony where Cathy and her husband would “renew” their vows, and partake in an Epcot’s “Tastes of the World” dinner with their guests ! It was a perfect “new beginning”, and “Rewrite for the day” that Cathy had lost due to Chronic Migraine.

(Quote) “Adults 18 and older who think they may have Chronic Migraine should seek advice from a qualified neurologist, headache, or pain specialist, who can manage the condition.”
