My little bag of treats!


I few years back I had the pleasure of meeting two of the most beautiful seventy something year old ladies. Soon after this is when I started changing my life. Just looking at their faces made me realize its never to late to make a change for the better. Not only was their skin almost wrinkle free but they were both glowing. I had to ask them there beauty secrites right then and there. And what they told me was very basice,
Every day they took a few Supplements and drank plenty of of water and used retinal cream.
Anti aging Supplements
coQ10, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Essential Fatty Acids, DMAE, Magnesium, and Manganese.

The Dash

The Dash
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and maybe it will help you take life a little slower and with more meaning.In July 2006, we launched a short 3-minute movie on the Internet called The Dash. Since then, over 40 million people from around the world have watched it; and over 20,000 a day continue to watch it as a result of people passing it along.The movie has been more successful than we could have ever imagined. More importantly, however, it has inspired many, many people to reflect on their lives and ask that all important question, 'Are my priorities where they should be?'We hope you enjoy this movie and share it with those who are close to you.Click This Link to View the www.dashpoemmovie.comhttp://

Live the Life You Have Imagined

Save the Face Lipo the Body

Today more then ever both products and procedures are more effective at fighting back the signs of aging. We are increasingly more able to hold off the aging proses by taking care of ourselves before they start. It is far greater to try and prevent the signs of aging then try to cure them after they have formed. Small procedures done early will preserve and protect your youthful appearance for years to come, although I believe it is never to let to make a change for the better.


As I come closer to my forties I have had to make a few changes in the way I view my body and one of the first was my weight. I have always had very strong facial features with high cheek bones and hollow checks which looked great when I was in my twenties and early thirties but things change around age 35. One day I looked at a photo of myself and realize my face was changing and I needed to do something about it.


At this point I knew I needed to gain some weight to improve the way my face looked, but I wasn't to happy to lose my shape, my body. I remember reading a quote from some famous women were she said "its either the face or the body". Then a few weeks after that I was watching the Today Show when a woman got on and talked about getting to that last pound. She said that if you keep working out and eating right you can get rid of your stubborn fat areas. Well in my practice I see this all the time, women trying to get rid of those few remaining pounds only to look ten years older in the face. So I started thinking could I have it both?


Well off I went to gain weight and in the first few months I got a lot of compliments on how wonderful I looked. that indeed my face looked wonderful and healthier. This made me really happy but at the same time I was starting to notice this fat roll that was forming around my middle and I remember the old saying " its either the face or the body" ug. This did not make me very happy at all so I started thinking about Lipoing the new problem areas that have come up and in doing so, making my body fat even. Meaning; one part of my body should not have to suffer for the other parts to look good. So I wasted no time and set a date for my surgery. I was not ready to give up my face or my body!


I had gained weight in my inner thighs and my hips and abdomen which is very common for most women. All in all the doctor took out a litter and a half of fat which turned out to be all I needed. Now I feel that I have the best of both worlds, still a full face and a slim body.


Now my new saying is "Save the Face Lipo the Body".

Perceptions

When you consider it to be a beautiful day, it is.
When you believe that you are happy, you are.
Expect to find an answer, and you will.
Know that something is possible for you, and it surely comes about.

Your perceptions do not merely reflect an objective,
unresponsive reality over which you have no control.
Your perceptions shape the reality that you experience.
The way you see your life has a great influence on the way your life unfolds.
How are you choosing to see your life?

Your perceptions shine a light upon the world around you.
The world that you actually experience depends on how
And where you shine that light.
How do you most sincerely wish for this day, this life, this world to be?
What you choose to see is what you will cause to be.

Wrinkles and Time By Michelle Heavens



I am not sure if it is the wrinkles that bother me or if it is what they represent. I have noticed lately that when I look down at my hands or the corner of my eyes I have a feeling of anxiety, not for the wrinkles themselves but for what they represent to me. They remind me that life is short and precious. They remind me there is so much more to do and so little time to accomplish all my hope and dreams. I think that when we are young and our skin is perfect we feel immortality as if we are vampires, creatures of the night, able to live forever with perfect bodies and skin. Now when I see that my skin has started to fade I find myself in a hurry to do all the things I believed myself possible of doing. In this body that is ever changing I sometimes worry will there be enough time? I think that many women have the same worries, no matter what path you chose. I am not sure what the recipe is or even if there is one recipe, but I do know that I have spent a large part of my life worrying about the inevitable. We will grow old and we will wrinkle. As I go through my journey I become more comfortable with this process but I am so ever thankful that each year there are new techniques and solutions to slow down the inevitable.
I guess I am happy to finally realize that time is precious even if I had to see it in my hands and the corner of my eyes, but I am also grateful that there is Botox and lasers that can buy me more time. Time is all we need when it comes to accomplishments.

A favor to ask, it only takes a minute....

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Help save a Child

Hi All,
One of my best friends Rebecca and her husband Dade will be going on a trip soon to Southeast Asia, in particular they will be spending some time in Cambodia, where they have funded the construction of a house for a homeless cambodian family and will be presenting it to them. Once they leave you can read about their adventures through thier indepth blog
( http://www.wherearetheynow.typepad.com/ ) The situation in Cambodia is very bad, with very young children being sold into the sex trade or forced to scavenge garbage dumps for things they can sell to try and help feed their families. In cambodia, a child cannot go to school unless he/she has a uniform and supplies, which amounts to a total of $9 annually. Although there is a lot of help you could do beyond that, I am asking that you please take a look at this link and do whatever you feel comfortable with. Even $9 will significantly change a life.

BLOGGING FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE!

AS THE YEARS GO BY I START TO REALISE HOW IMPORTANT A PLASTIC SURGEON IS IN AN UNFAIR WORLD WHERE WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO LOOK YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL FOREVER!!
