3 Surprising Things No One Tells You About Menopause

Hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, bad mood and fatigue, these are the menopausal symptoms every woman approaching midlife hears about the most. But menopause can cause a whole host of unpleasant effects and many women never make the connection between their symptoms and menopause. Here are three surprisingly common problems that menopause can bring into your life.

Regular Bad Hair Days

Menopause can really do a number on your self-esteem. As if hot flashes, mood swings, and weight gain weren’t enough to contend with, you’ll also have to spend more time taking care of your hair if you don’t want to lose your lustrous locks.

Many women find that their hair becomes dry and brittle once menopause hits, prompting a search for gentle, natural hair care products that can address the damage.

For some women though, menopause delivers an even harsher blow, causing hair to thin and to fall out. A truly devastating development.

Thankfully, there’s no need to accept what nature throws at you and settle for a head of wispy hair because today’s new generation of hair regrowth products can safely restore your hair to its former glory.

New Allergies

Hormonal changes can alter the way that your immune system works, causing your body to react to allergens that haven’t ever troubled you before.

For most women, these allergic reactions are mild, confined to itchy eyes, skin rashes, and bouts of sneezing, but for some women, the allergy triggers more serious effects like wheezing, swelling, and dizziness.

Mild allergies can be managed with over-the-counter allergy medications like Benadryl, but you should seek your doctor’s advice if your allergies are more severe.

A Racing Heartbeat

An irregular heartbeat is another common problem that can flare up unexpectedly, and if you aren’t prepared for it, having your heart suddenly change its rhythm is a very frightening experience.

Your fluctuating hormones can cause your nervous system to send erratic electrical signals to your heart, resulting in a very rapid heartbeat.

At this stage of your life, you could find that alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods trigger these bouts whereas these things weren’t at all problematic before. Keeping a food and drink diary will enable you to spot any links between your diet and pounding heart, and allow you to make the necessary changes to help prevent future episodes.Deep breathing exercises, It’s a Glam Thing, Pro Avice

Deep breathing exercises and meditation techniques can make it easier to get through episodes of rapid heartbeat and prevent your panic response making things worse.

Schedule an appointment with your doctor to rule out more serious causes. Rapid heartbeat accompanied by pain or shortness of breath should always be treated as an emergency.

Menopause and the peri menopause that precedes it can cause hormonal changes and unwelcome symptoms for a good ten years of a woman’s life.  But menopause doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out nightmare. Knowing what to expect and being able to recognize the symptoms for what they truly are will allow you take prompt action and get your menopause under control.

Make a Splash at the Beach This Summer – Seven Cosmetic Procedures That Will Get You Swimsuit Ready

 

Swimsuit season can be a reason to show off the body in an itsy bitsy bikini or grab the terrycloth cover-up.  Suddenly, those spider veins, bulges and sagging body parts that have been hiding under layers of winter clothes are on full display.

The impulse is to jump start a diet and exercise plan.  The reality, however, is no Pilates class or low carb diet can fix Aunt Ellen’s saddlebags or your mother’s size A cup breasts.  Genetics and age-related hormonal changes will always be at work.

Thanks to advances in cosmetic surgery there are plenty of procedures that can enhance your appearance.  Here, just in time for summer, are seven of the most popular, some of which are so minimally invasive you can hit the beach within a few days of being treated.  

The Lunchtime Quickie

If you’re close to your ideal body weight but fighting fat on your thighs, tummy, flanks, bra roll or arms, Coolsculpting is an option.  This FDA approved technology safety and effectively freezes fat to improve the contour of those nasty bumps and bulges that are resistant to exercise and diet.  Within four to 12 weeks after the treatment, the body eliminates the crystallized frozen cells, giving patients visible and long-lasting results.

“Because Coolsculpting only takes a couple hours, this is one of the procedures patients can do on their lunch hour and then head back to work,” says Dr. George Bitar, an award-winning plastic surgeon based in Northern Virginia who has performed more than 10,000 cosmetic surgeries.   

For stubborn fat, a more aggressive approach would be liposuction. The results are immediate and allow for better contouring.  Doctors can even use the liposuction for abdominal etching, creating a perfectly natural looking six-pack abs in roughly an hour.

Get a Smooth Tummy and Defined Arms

With significant weight loss, pregnancy and aging it’s not uncommon to have loose skin.  “A tummy tuck, which takes roughly two to three hours, will tighten the abdominal muscles to create that firm, sleek stomach, and waistline.”, says Dr. Larry Lickstein, a Harvard-educated, board certified plastic surgeon at the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Northern Virginia.  For that hanging skin that looks like “bat wings,” an arm lift is often advised.  It involves removing excess skin and residual fat to create a firmer arm.  It can even be combined with liposuction for a more defined look.

Dr. Larry Lickstein

Show Off Your Cleavage

Google trends report breast augmentation is highest between June and August.  For the procedure, the scar can be placed either in the under-arm (axillary), the crease under the breast, or at the lower border of the areola.

According to Dr. Bitar, who specializes in the auxiliary breast augmentation, there are many advantages to this approach.  “Muscle and breast tissue are not cut, there is also minimal bleeding, less scarring and a shorter recovery time with minimal complications,” he says.  “The milk ducts are not touched, so the risk of losing the ability to breast feed after a breast implant with this approach is negligible.”

Dr. Bitar

Look Good Coming and Going

Women now not only want to be fit and toned, but they want Kim Kardashian’s derriere.  The Brazilian butt lift is a relatively simple procedure where the fat is harvested from the belly and around the buttocks through liposuction and reinjected to create a heart or ideal round shape. The procedure yields natural results with minimal recovery time.

Wear Short Shorts with Style

Dread showing your legs?  There are vein treatments to fix those ugly blue and red veins that spread across your legs as you age.  Sclerotherapy, for example, involves injecting the veins with a saline solution.  The veins then scar and are reabsorbed into the body. In most cases, the treated veins will fade within a few weeks.

Finally, before you undergo any procedure, do your research.  Make sure the surgeon has done hundreds if not thousands of procedures and is affiliated with a good hospital. Also, think twice before traveling abroad for cheaper surgery.  As Dr. Bitar advises his patients, “Three things you don’t want to compromise on: your parachute, your scuba gear, and your plastic surgery!”

It’s a Glam Thing’s JULY’S GIVEAWAY FEATURING THERAGROW AWARDED TO ONE LUCKY WINNER

BEAUTY NEWS!

WOMEN WITH HAIR LOSS FIND HAIR REGROWTH IN A HELMET

www.theragrow.com 

Over half of women experience hair loss by the age of 50. There are many women out there who experimented with hair color, straightening and other styling methods that involve chemicals that weaken hair. Also stress is also a culprit for hair loss plus hormonal changes. To fight the battle of thinning hair women typically turn to topical products which don’t deliver the results they hope for. Also, most women are not candidates for hair transplants.

For the many women who suffer with hair loss and the self-consciousness it leads to; finally, there is a discreet FDA cleared at-home product designed strictly for women called Theragrow™ $495 http://theragrow.com/ 

Theragrow is a helmet that harnesses the power of laser light to minimize hair loss and promote hair growth. It delivers the same precise wavelength and dosage of energy proven to rejuvenate hair follicles and effectively regrow hair.

HOW IT WORKS:

Click the link to see video:http://theragrow.com/

Theragrow allows the necessary wavelength between 670 and 686 nanometers to penetrate deep enough to reach the base of the hair follicles and stimulate growth; a depth of 3 to 5 millimeters. No other light source, including devices using LED light, can achieve this.

By treating the base of hair follicles, Theragrow’s proprietary cold laser technology ensures the mitochondria, the energy generator of hair cells, is reactivated. The mitochondria then produce cell energy that is absorbed by hair follicles stimulating new hair growth.

The lightweight Theragrow helmet houses 40 individual lasers. It provides maximum scalp coverage to treat all areas affected by androgenetic alopecia, the condition suffered by most women reporting hair loss.

After the first treatment, the process of halting hair loss and rejuvenating your hair follicles to grow healthier, stronger, thicker hair begins. Laser light therapy targets the stem cells at the base of hair follicles. It’s working deep beneath the surface even before you see visible results.

The inventor of Theragrow, Tamin Hamid Ph.D, who is a former NASA scientist and Biomedical Engineer, is excited to provide a viable, cost- effective solution specifically for women who haven’t seen adequate results from topical treatments. She explains, “women cannot take the only prescription drug available because it is only FDA cleared for men so this is a solution for women that will deliver results. More than 90% of women in a recent user group reported positive results from treatments delivering the precise weekly amount of laser light energy you get with Theragrow.” 

Low-level laser light technology has been proven to repair, improve and grow hair in women. Within the first three months Theragrow leads to reduced hair loss and increased thickness and density. Within six months there’s a fuller appearance and feel to hair with more body, there’s also visible new hair growth at the top and crown of the head. At that nine month mark hair regrowth is significant.

Theragrow is used for 20 minutes, 4 times per week and you can read, watch TV, work on the computer while wearing it. It’s quiet and cordless FDA cleared over the counter medical device to promote hair growth in women. It is not to be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or have been diagnosed with cancer. 

Retail Price: $495.00

Glam Denim Fashion Ideas

Ever since it was first introduced sometime in the nineteenth century, denim has always been at the forefront of fashion. If you think about it, you’re bound to have a pair or three of denims in your clothes cupboard right now, some from high end fashion houses as well. The quintessential blue denim is ever popular but today, denim has embraced so much more- colors, cuts, looks and styles.From boyfriend jeans to vintage denim, denim is timeless. Buy a roll of denim, get out your trusty sewing machine and get started! Before we proceed, let’s talk of a few basics.

Denim is a tougher material than cotton so a regular machine will not do. You want a machine that is tough-think metal, not plastic- and has a special needle specifically for denim. A hand cranked machine may not be as effective as a foot operated machine. This will ensure your denim stays in place as you stitch. A strong motor is a must because denim requires strength. Do make sure that your machine has a wide variety of stitches available from the cool zig zag and long length stitches. The zig zag is necessary to keep your stitches in place, so it’s not just cool but functional as well. There are sewing machine brands specific to jeans, for instance, Singer and Toyota. Invest in one that can do more than just stitch denim- makes sense in the long run.

Now, let’s take a look at some cool glam denim fashion ideas.

             More than jeans

While denim is mostly associated with jeans, there is a lot you can do with the material. Versatile as it is, it lends itself to all sorts of fashion. For instance, think of denim dungarees. This hard-working outfit can be given a touch of oomph with patchwork pockets and a contrasting t-shirt. Roll up your dungarees, pair it up with a pair of heels or wear your favorite ballet slippers. Or cut your dungarees and make them into shorts for those warm summer days. It’s all good when denim is in play.

              Tops

Denim shirts are comfortable and hardy. Make them with sleeves or without, short or long. Decorate the shirt with embroidery or lettering or do smocking stitches to give it a peasant blouse appearance. Knot it around the waist or under the bust and you’re bound to turn heads. A jacket is a great idea as well. Rhinestones and glitter go well on a short jacket. Remember, less is more, so go easy on the shine.

              Skirts

A short ruched skirt or a long classic one-denim skirt is truly a class apart. Give it a slit on the side or the back for ease of movement. Pair it with a long beaded chain and a plain colored shirt and you’re good to go.

Once you’re more comfortable with your stitching, think about other cool things to do with this material. Hats and caps, heels, shoes and flats, even swimsuits and innerwear. A denim dress with a minimalistic pattern is also a great fashion statement.  Go glam with denim!

HOW TO HANDLE EVERY SHOE CHALLENGE WITH EASE USING THESE TIPS

Shoes and slippers are a very important part of our lives. As we need clothes shoes are equally important. To make our feet comfortable and protected we need good and comfortable shoes and slippers. Shoes add on to our all around outlook. Shoes have to be maintained, kept clean and looked after carefully so that it provides us comfort. Still, there are some problems which we can face with the shoes. The material and the construction of the shoe may cause a problem. Instead of just hiding away the pair of shoes in your cupboard causing problem we can try fixing it up with some easy solutions.

 

  • Blisters

 

This seems to be the most common problem with shoes. Every foot is different in shape and dimension. If the shoes are a little tight it rubs against the ankles causing blisters. This can cause discomfort and it pains when you wear shoes. If proper care is not taken the blisters can get infected and result in serious problems. To avoid this we should ensure to buy shoes that are comfortable. We should always try the shoes on before selecting them. While trying it on we should also have a trial walk with these shoes. This may help us to judge the comfortability of the shoe which would avoid blisters.

 

  • Shoes can cause body pain

 

These days shoes are manufactured to please the eye rather than for comfort. This is the reason why the wearer can experience pain in certain parts of the body. If correct types of shoes are not used the common pains a person can experience are back pain, knee pain, ankle pain and plantar fasciitis. Very high or very low heels can be the reason for these pains. Tight shoes can reduce blood circulation leading to bunions. This is another common problem if you do not wear the right type of shoes for a particular activity. To avoid this kind of pains it is very important that we choose shoes according to the occasion of the work we are doing.

 

  • Sweaty feet

 

If the shoes are tight and uncomfortable they may lead to the feet getting heated up and perspiration. This will lead to skin problems and would also produce an unpleasant odor. While selecting shoes you should always ensure that they are not too tight. Socks should always be worn to reduce the friction between the feet and the shoes. The socks must be changed and cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene. Sweaty feet can cause fungal infections. It is also advisable to wash your feet. Shoes should also be cleaned and dried regularly. Sprinkling talcum powder in the shoes before wearing it and also applying available ointment to reduce sweat can also help.

 

  • Incorrect walking style

 

The life of the shoe can be reduced and many health problems created because of improper walking style. If a person does not work properly the body weight fails to spread evenly. This may lead to undue pressure on certain parts of the body causing it to bear additional stress. Different types of pain are also caused because of this. Certain parts of the shoe wear off quickly due to incorrect walking styles. It is very important for us to learn proper walking postures.

 

  • High Heels

 

High-heeled shoes may be very attractive for young girls today. They look cool with skimpy outfits and help you increase height. However, use of high heels for a very long time can turn out to be a disaster for your feet. It will lead to ankle pain and at times back pain too. It may also lead to some mishap while walking as it is very difficult to keep your balance on high heel shoes. Minimum use of high heels is always advised if not stopped completely.

 

  • Loose shoe towards the heel

 

When you wear loose shoes they may tend to slip away causing this comfort to the wearer. Wearing thick socks and using an insole can help in tightening the shoe. Buying proper fitting shoes is advisable.

 

  • Calluses

 

The hard dead skin tends to form on the soles of the feet and the sides of toes which can be very difficult to get rid of. To prevent this it is very important to choose the right fitting shoes. Wearing socks would also help.

Shoes can bring about a few problems in our daily life. It is easy to handle them if we are aware of the problems misfit and the wrong shoes may cause to us.

How the other half live – high roller lifestyle

 

Many of us daydream of a lavish lifestyle with all of the amenities that we could imagine. But there are people in the world that have the financial resources to live like that. The things that they spend money on are pretty interesting and alluring.

They Own A Boat

I do not mean a canoe or the little fishing boat that broke the bank when you bought it. They own yachts, and when they need to get away from everything, they will set out onto the water for a few days. They might even have a replica of the Titanic built.

They Chose Where They Want To Live

Most people are stuck in the same area that they grew up in. You might dream of moving to Florida or New York City, but you know that the logistics of moving would probably make it too difficult. You would have to find a new job and afford the process of relocating. Also places like that tend to have a higher cost of living. But a wealthy person does not have to worry about that. She can just choose to live in Europe or California.

Money For Leisure

If you have a few extra dollars at the end of the week, you might go to see a movie or to have a drink with friends. A wealthy person can just go out gambling all night without worrying about the consequences. They are gambling for sport and competition rather than to enjoy the benefits of winning the jackpot.  In fact, many rich people do not even bother going out to the casino – the billion dollar Vegas casino business has now arrived at the customer’s fingertips, and the allure of popular slot games is now available on pretty much any smart phone.

Everything Is Green

Many of us are concerned about depleting the earth’s resources. We will do what we can, but we also recognize that many of the natural alternatives are too expensive for us. A wealthy person will use alternative energy to power everything. She will have solar panels installed outside of her home and drive an electric car.

Wealthy homeowners will also find ways to conserve water, such as installing a steam shower in the bathroom (which is also a spa treatment). Their homes are typically loaded with energy-efficient devices.

Funding For Education

Many parents are worried about where their children will go to college. Often, financial aid and student loans do not cover everything (even for families below the poverty line). On the other hand, wealthy parents can all but guarantee that their children will have a prosperous future.

In addition to funding for college, their resources can provide a stable environment for the children. They can pay for tutors, a nanny, summer camps, and any intellectually stimulating activity that will further their education. While the child is in college, she can focus primarily on her studies because her parents are funding her housing expenses. Since they have fewer concerns about the future of their children, the other half is free to live peacefully.

Security

While western civilization does enjoy a few amenities, such as a general feeling of safety, that is typically heightened among the other half. They can afford fenced housing and a security detail that surveys the perimeter at night and when they are out of town. Beyond that, they can afford a state-of-the-art home security system replete with alarms, cameras, and much more. On the other hand, many of us rely heavily on a deadbolt lock and the responsiveness of emergency services.

Of course, learning how the other half lives should not fill us with envy. It should motivate us to improve our lives so that we or our children can enjoy that lifestyle.

What Your Business May Be Lacking

Your business may be lacking luster and you aren’t sure what to do about it. It’s common to experience lulls, but it’s important you know how to bounce back. Give yourself time to sort through your current state of affairs and figure out what’s going on.

It’s usually during the most unexpected time that you’ll hit a wall. This may come as a surprise to you, and perhaps you don’t have a plan in place to make it better. Whatever you do, don’t panic. Regroup and start brainstorming ways to get back on track. See what your business may be lacking.

Creativity

You need to have a mix of logic and creativity in your organization. You can’t function without some sort of creativity and spunk. You need people who are going to bring new ideas to the table and who aren’t afraid to go against the crowd. Implement activities that focus solely on building creativity and learning how to practice different types of thinking patterns. Get your team involved and let everyone know they’re free to come up with innovative ideas that although they may not work, are worth discussing because they could lead to other changes.

Passion

Find your passion for your job and work again. Rediscover why you’re in business and share that information with others. Get excited about your products or services and celebrate team successes along the way. Make improvements to the business and team structures so people are excited to come to work each day. You need to have a hunger to win and excel. Pass this drive down to your teams and get them pumped up about the work they do.

A Plan

You can’t keep functioning on a whim. There needs to be a documented business plan and goals in place. Everyone at the company should know the vision and how you’re getting there. Writing down a strategy is imperative. Otherwise, it’ll feel like you’re chasing your tail and never achieving. There needs to be a plan for beating the competition and innovating your company. Nothing will get done without a documented plan of attack. Everyone needs to be on the same page in order to advance forward.

Content

You need to have content your customers will embrace. This includes launching a robust website with an attractive design and appropriate information. Also, consider a newsletter, blog and magazine. Get creative and test out different magazine covers that promote your brand. Design it yourself for free, using a theme and images of your choosing. Include compelling information on the inside that your readers won’t be able to put down. Spend time writing content that draws them in to your business and demonstrates your expertise in your field. Publish on a regular basis and show your audience you care about them by sharing your knowledge and company updates.

Conclusion

It’s normal to experience bumps in the road when you’re running a business. Ride it out by figuring out exactly what’s holding you back. This is what your business may be lacking.
