Worst Tattoo Ideas Seemed Good at the Time

Filed Under Health and Beauty | Comments Off 

By jonathan scott

The other day, a friend of mine was released from prison. During his “vacation,” he acquired several–and by several, I mean at least five or six–new tattoos. Aside from the fact that prison is the absolute riskiest place to get a tattoo, it occurred to me that some of these tattoos he might come to regret later in life. This got me to thinking about the worst ideas for tattoos I'’d ever seen. Here are some of them.

Any tattoo that covers a large part of your face. People need to remember that most people find themselves in need of going to job interviews dozens of times during their lives. And try as they might to ignore them, it’’s hard for an interviewer to look past some overly-prominent tattoos on the face. After all, your face is precisely where you hope the prospective will be looking during the course of the interview.
A tattoo with your boyfriend / girlfriend’’s name, especially in a prominent place. No matter how infatuated you might feel about the person right now, there’’s a good possibility that this person won'’t be your life-long soul-mate. You might just find yourself dating someone else in the near future–with a different name, in most cases.

A tattoo that is publicly seen which disparages other religions. How can you hope to ever have a civil conversation with a Jew if you have swastikas on your body? And can you expect a Christian to have a good first impression if you have anything that suggests you hate Jesus or churches? Maybe you think right now that you don'’t want to associate with them anyway. But what if they sign your paycheck?

A tattoo by a tattoo “artist” with inferior art skills. This is no joke: I once saw a tat that looked like it could have been Elvis or it could have been Celine Dione. I'’m sure it was meant to be one or the other; I'’m equally sure it wasn'’t supposed to be both. Best check your tattoo artists references before committing.

Any tattoo that’’s done by a friend which takes more than one session to complete. I have one reason for this: I'’ve seen several instances in which the friend just never gets around to finishing it. One guy had a huge heart tattooed on his back, with a black outline where a person'’ s name was clearly supposed to go. But the friend / tat artist couldn'’t find time to finish it. So even in the middle of summer, this guy was afraid to walk around shirtless because of a clearly-incomplete tat.

So what’’s a person to do if he’’s gotten any of these bad-idea tattoos? Fortunately today, there are several removal methods available, including laser removal, salabrasion (scrubbing the skin with salt), excision (cutting off the skin with the tattoo) and home-removal kits, like Nuviderm.

The Shocking Truth About Bottled Water

Filed Under Health and Beauty | Comments Off 

By Rachel Yoshida

I have discussed some negative things associated with drinking tap water. You may be very concerned for your health and may want to change your drinking habits right away, but don'’t go out and buy gallons upon gallons of purified bottled water just yet.

The shocking truth is that approximately 25 to 30 percent of these “purified waters” come from our very own municipal water systems. Some of this water may undergo additional filtering, but some do not. There is no knowing where the water originates from, despite the promises, guarantees, and the pretty forest pictures that adorn some of our bottled waters. The EPA may be lax about the contaminants that are in our drinking water, but the National Resources Defense Council reports that bottled water companies do not have requirements to disinfect the water or to test for parasites, such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

Bottled spring water is taken from water that flows naturally to the surface of the earth from an underground formation. Purified water can be produced by reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization. A fairly new kind of water is artesian water, which is taken from a well that is atop a confined aquifer. I'’m sure there are more waters available to consumers, but this is just touching the surface. With so many choices on water and so much bad and good information thrown around about bottled and tap water, it’’s understandable how you may be confused about what to do next. Should you continue to drink the tap water and risk your health, all the while praying and hoping that your local municipal system is doing their part in providing the cleanest water possible to you? Should you avoid all tap water period and opt for what you think is the cleanest bottled water, despite the downside of our landfills being filled with millions of plastic bottles?

One option you may want to look into is to buy a home water filter system that can be installed on your kitchen sink. A water filter system is beneficial in that you are not contributing to the plastic dilemma in the landfills, and you are saving money by drinking your water from home. Do your research because not all water filters act the same way. You will find that a good percentage of water filters only meet the minimum government or industry standards of water purification. In other words, you might as well drink your tap water. You will want a water filter that can filter out lead, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), cysts, chlorine, and fluoride while also leaving natural trace minerals that are essential to our health, such as magnesium and potassium. Be wary of gimmicks and filters that promise too much but under deliver.

To your health!

Unresolved Ear Pain? Take It To A Neuromuscular Dentist

Filed Under Health and Beauty | Comments Off 

By Phoenix Delray

An earache is one of the most common maladies amongst people, young and old. Many times, an earache is initially treated with antibiotics, if an ear infection is suspected. But what happens when there is no sign of an ear infection, antibiotics are not doing any good, and there seems to be no one to turn to for help? Here is an idea that is crazy enough that it might make sense: go see a dentist.

A dentist for an earache? Many people may not realize how close to the mouth the ear really is. Think about it. The mouth extends as far as the ends of the jawbones which, incidentally, join together fairly close to the ear. And, sometimes things that should fit together well dont, causing pain. Often when there is pain, there is inflammation and swelling. Sometimes the pain is so strong that it becomes difficult to pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from. This can be exactly the case in people who suffer from something called TMJ.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ, is the diagnosis for chronic or acute inflammation and pain in the temporomadibular joint, which connects the lower jawbone to the skull. Not only are the teeth, jawbones, and ligaments affected, but tendons, muscles, and nerves also fall prey to this oral beast. With so many different components being targeted by TMJ (including the ear), a specialist may need to be called upon to help simmer down the symptoms. This oral guru is none other than the neuromuscular dentist.

This dentist is, in a nutshell, a specialist who can treat symptoms of TMJ by correctly re aligning the jawbones. Neuromuscular dentistry is the practice of also correcting bad bites, such as overbites and underbites. General dentists treat the gums, teeth, and bones, while this specialized dentist works his magic on soft and hard connective tissues, nerves, and muscles. To correct a misaligned jawbone or bad bite that may be the cause of TMJ, the dentist first takes a measurement of the head and neck when they are relaxed to determine the best position for the jaw.

Re positioning the jaw can then be achieved by orthotics or orthodontics to restore teeth to their correct positions, relieving the jaw of all of the stress caused by these bad bites. And, it just makes sense that happy teeth in a happy jaw make happy ears, so that is why you should call your dentist if your ear hurts.

Buying Baby Clothes - For Dummies

Filed Under | Comments Off 

By Kimberlie Waddoups

Shopping for baby clothing can be harder than you think, especially if you'’re shopping for someone else’’s baby. Hopefully this article will give you a few ideas on how to buy baby clothes. We'’ll also throw in a few tips about buying baby clothes online.

Size

Baby clothing is usually sized according to the age of the baby. The sizes are as follows: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, etc. These age groups can sometimes be a problem because you may have a bigger or smaller baby than normal. My baby boy has already grown out of his 0-3 months clothes and he is only one month old.

When buying baby clothes for a newborn, try buying the 3-6 months size and you'’ll stand out from the crowd that is buying clothes the baby will only be able to wear once. Trust me, the mother will thank you later when your clothes are the only ones that fit her newborn.

Online Tip: Most places you shop online will have a section where you choose the size of the clothes. If they don'’t, then do not purchase there.

Gender

If you are trying to buy baby clothes, then we sincerely hope you are shopping for a girl. Why? Options and quality. For some reason designers have created a lot more baby girl clothing than baby boy clothing. If you don'’t believe me, try going to Target and tell me if you see more pink or more blue?

The quality of baby girl clothing is also better than baby boy clothing, probably due to the sheer quantity of baby girl clothing. If you are looking for unique baby clothes, you'’ll have a much easier time if you'’re shopping for a girl.

Online Tip: A few stores online actually allow you to create your own onesies, a nice feature if you'’re looking for unique baby onesies or other baby clothing.

Price

Baby clothing prices fluctuate wildly depending on the quality and name brand recognition. I'’ve never been a huge fan of paying for the name brand but sometimes paying more is worth it.

Remember not to buy all of your baby clothes before the baby is born. Doctors are not 100% accurate in determining the sex of a child–it’’s no fun to take back all of those cute clothes after being surprised with a boy when you thought you were having a girl. Try buying gender neutral clothes if you are buying for someone who hasn'’t told you the sex of the baby.

It is good to remember that babies grow extremely fast, another reason not to buy tons of clothes before the baby is born (you could be stuck with a bunch of clothes that don'’t fit).

Babies make messes often. You might be surprised how often they spit up on their brand new clothes (babies are more prone to spit up if they are wearing your favorite outfit). If you'’re on a budget, don'’t spend all of your money on something that will be getting dirty fast.

Online Tip: Watch out for shipping prices! Some places charge as much as $5.00 per item. You can find special deals where shipping is free (though you usually have to spend a fair amount before getting these deals).

Shopping for baby clothes is extremely fun. Hopefully these tips will help you have an overall positive experience when shopping for baby clothes for yourself or for a friend.

Online Tip: Watch out, online shopping can be extremely addictive.

The Many Hats Of Clomid

Filed Under Health and Beauty | Comments Off 

By Dane Fletcher

Clomid is an interesting drug.

In bodybuilding circles, Clomid is used to increase lean muscle mass and reduce fat. In the medical world, Clomid is useful for bodybuilders, and the general population as well, when they need a little help starting a family.

For men suffering from fertility issues, particularly low sperm cell count, Clomid can be a godsend. Men who use anabolic steroids in their 20s and 30s often suffer from low sperm count. Their testes halt production of testosterone and sperm cells, due to the fact that artificial testosterone is detected in the body. These men will possess high T-levels, but they will not be able to reproduce as a result of the testicular shutdown. As many men reach their 30s, they are ready to start a family. Clomid helps kickstart sperm cell production in males.

Scientists still cannot agree exactly how Clomid works. It’’s fairly commonly accepted that Clomid convinces the brain that estrogen levels are low. As a result, the brain produces more estrogen, and more testosterone. Blood levels of natural testosterone rise and sperm cell counts rise as well. Usually within three months, men regain their ability to produce enough sperm for impregnation.

Are there side effects? Of course! Clomid causes gynecomastia, or the very dreaded “bitch tits”, a swelling of the fat around the nipples, which looks terrible on the bodybuilding stage when men diet down.

Clomid is not a steroid. It has no real androgenic properties. It doesn'’t alter testosterone production by the testes, nor does it affect the endocrine system in any way. Some researchers believe longer-term Clomid use causes tumors, but there isn'’t enough data yet available to make such a determination. Many bodybuilders use it because it does affect T-levels, and it is easily accessible, but aside from that, its place in a cycle is usually unnecessary. It should be used for muscle gaining purposes when no other compounds are available.

The FDA has not yet approved Clomid for fertility assistance, but it use has been practices for many years now. Bodybuilders and researchers know what the FDA usually takes much longer to recognize, Clomid helps bodybuilders regain ability to reproduce. Use it if you'’re trying to start a family and your doctor determines your sperm count is just too low. If you'’re looking to gain muscle, use it as a last resort, but work to gain access to testosterone and other more effective compounds. Happy training and parenting!

Consider a Forehead Lift For a More Youthful Appearance

Filed Under Health and Beauty | Comments Off 

By Dave Stringham

A forehead lift or “browlift” is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired.

In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines. Your surgeon may use the conventional surgical method, in which the incision is hidden just behind the hairline; or it may be performed with the use of an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. Both techniques yield similar results — smoother forehead skin and a more animated appearance.

If you'’re considering a forehead lift, this brochure will provide a basic understanding of the procedure — when it can help, how it’’s performed and what results you can expect. It won'’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything you don'’t understand about the procedure.

A forehead lift is most commonly performed in the 40-60 age range to minimize the visible effects of aging. However, it can also help people of any age who have developed furrows or frown lines due to stress or muscle activity. Individuals with inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose can achieve a more alert and refreshed look with this procedure.

Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.

Patients who are bald, who have a receding hairline, or who have had previous upper-eyelid surgery may still be good candidates for forehead lift. The surgeon will simply alter the incision location or perform a more conservative operation.

Remember, a forehead lift can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won'’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them in detail with your doctor.

Arthritis - What It Is And What You Can Do To Relieve The Pain

Filed Under | Comments Off 

By Jennifer King

Joint pain is the most common symptom of arthritis so the cure for this symptom is the most sought after. Millions of people suffer from this crippling disease, and it can affect you at any age. Anyone from children to pensioners can suffer from arthritis, and pain relief is an essential part of living with it.

Sufferers will bear different degrees of pain, and can suffer from the pain on different parts of their bodies. If you suffer from arthritis in your hands then you can only imagine what the pain is like for someone who is suffering with this debilitating disease over their entire body. The pain can be dull, and in extreme cases it will be very sharp.

Arthritis is a disease that mainly attacks the joints of the bones. The worst thing is, it is still unknown what actually causes this disease. Many people have their suspicions of viruses and bacteria causing the inflammation in the joints, but nothing has been proven yet.

This inflammation of the joints can lead to destruction of the cartilage between the bones. This will cause deformity in the joints which is commonly recognised in the finger joints of a sufferer.

You will need to see your doctor for a correct diagnosis of arthritis as other diseases and conditions are similar. If you are suffering from joint pain in many areas of your body it makes it easier to diagnose. It’’s when you only suffer from pain in a few joints that it becomes difficult, and further tests are then needed to rule out any other conditions such as gout, or just an infection of the joints.

You'’ll find many drug companies online stating that they have the next wonder drug that will cure the pain of your arthritis, but in the past these companies have caused more harm than good.

The simple aspirin pill is the most effective form of pain relief for arthritis, and is by for the most commonly used relief from the pain of joint inflammation.

Many natural alternatives of pain relief are getting more attention now because of the side effects of drugs on the body. If you'’re suffering from any disease for the rest of your life then any long term drug use can and will have an effect on your body.

Herbs such as Cat’’s Claw have gotten more attention lately because of it’’s anti-inflammatory properties. This reduces the need to take any drugs, and for some patients it has become an effective part of their pain relief.

Herbs are trial and error at the moment because they have a different level of effectiveness on different people, but in the end they don'’t cost anywhere near as much as useless or dangerous drugs.

Doctors and herbalists will continue to look for ways to cure the pain and symptoms or arthritis which is only a good thing for sufferers. Maybe one day they will discover an effective cure for everyone.

How to Cope With Postnatal Depression

Filed Under | Comments Off 

By Wendy Owen

Postnatal depression is a condition that happens to about 10% of women after they have a baby. It is often known as the baby blues, and includes feeling unhappy, blue, sad, and miserable. In many cases this type of depression is not even recognized because of all the normal changes that occur during and after pregnancy. However, although this is a very common problem, there are some things that can be done to treat it and help to get new moms feeling back to normal again.

Causes of Post Natal Depression
There are a variety of different reasons that you could be dealing with depression after you have a baby. Many times it is a result of changes in the hormones in the body. There are big changes that occur within the first 24 hours after having a baby and this can lead to depression. Also, thyroid levels can drop leading to depression. Some of the other factors that can end up leading to problems with the baby blues include feeling overwhelmed with taking care of a new baby, lack of sleep, stress, feelings of losing your identity, and have less control over the time that you have.

Symptoms of Postnatal Depression
There are many symptoms that can be symptoms of depression. If you happen to have any of these symptoms after pregnancy and they last for more than a couple of weeks, you could be dealing with depression.

- Very little energy
- Feelings is restlessness
- Irritability
- Loosing interest in activities
- Crying more often than usual
- Feeling overwhelmed or hopeless
- Problems staying focused
- Too much sleep or not enough
- Loss of appetite or overeating
- Withdrawing from family
- Dealing with chest pains or headaches

Simple Treatments to Try
There are a variety of treatments for post natal depression, and while some may include drug therapy or even talk therapy with a professional, there are simple things that you can do at home to combat this problem. The following are simply and alternative treatments that you may want to try.

- Get More Rest - One thing that you can try to get rid of the depression you are dealing with is to start getting a bit more rest. When you have a new baby, often it can be difficult to get the rest you need, leading to more risk of depression. Try sleeping whenever your baby does so you get the rest you need.

- Talk to a Friend or Family Member - Just talking someone can definitely be a huge help when you are dealing with the baby blues. It helps you to realize you are not alone and allows you to express your feelings too.

- Get Out More - Staying in the home all the time can actually lead to depression, so you need to get out more. Go out with your baby and run some errands or just go for a walk around the block. It can really help.

- Join a Support Group - Joining support groups can help. There are many people out there that are also going through postnatal depression and joining a group with others who understand can be very healing and helpful for you.

- Try Baby Massage - Consider trying baby massage by taking a class so you can learn how to do it. This is a great way that you can learn to better relate to your baby and you'’ll begin feeling better too.

- Eat Foods with Omega 3s - If you'’re going through post natal depression, chances are that you are low on fatty acids in your body, which can lead to depression. So, start eating foods that have omega 3s in them, such as seafood and fish.

Relationships - We Can’t Continue to Do What We’ve Been Doing!

Filed Under | Comments Off 

By Ken Donaldson

Statistics also show nearly one third of American women report being exposed to some type of abuse at the hands of the significant other in their committed relationships.

In reality, one out of every three is a conservative figure, since the majority of abuse is never reported. These harsh statistics tell us that men (and women) are abusing the very people they say they love, which makes no rational or relational sense at all.

As if divorce and abuse were not enough, individuals are descending farther into addictive behaviors. We'’re not only divorcing ourselves from others; through these behaviors we are also divorcing ourselves from ourselves.

We'’re not only abusing and being abused by others, we'’re also abusing ourselves. Research indicates approximately 10% of the population is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates the total economic cost of drug and alcohol abuse in the United States in the 90s was over $250 billion per year.

The impact of the “lesser” addictions of gambling, excessive spending, over-eating, compulsive sex, and cyber-based addictions (internet, video games, etc.) and their cost to society are too vast to even measure right now.

We'’ve developed some extremely poor habits and we obviously lack appropriate coping mechanisms.

Will you change for the better or be changed by this negative cycle?

Furthermore (Yes…there’’s more bad news!) about 10% of our population suffers from depression. Depression is the epitome of people being disconnected from themselves.

People experiencing depression, many of whom don'’t even know or acknowledge this ailment, live in negative energy which inevitably creates more negativity. Without proper intervention depressed people spiral further away from themselves and others.

The inherent nature of depression is such that those afflicted are often so focused on the negative aspects of themselves, on how bad they feel and how bad their life is, that they often miss the good when it does arrive in their lives.

Depressed people don'’t notice the beauty of a sunset, the humor of a joke or the warm smile of another. Depression completely disconnects one from one’’s true self.

It is long overdue; it’’s time to deliver the message: Marry Your Self First!

Today’’s educational system emphasizes, to the exclusion of almost everything else, the three Rs of reading, writing and arithmetic. Will these three Rs stop divorce, abuse, addiction or depression? No, of course not.

We need a far greater emphasis on the fourth R - Relationships - to make a difference in the quality of young people’’s lives and futures. Through relationship education we can and will create happy individuals equipped for successful lives.

Point is: Men and women today have not been relationally educated. Many come from broken families, and even those who come from intact families may not have had the best role models.

Today, many people unconsciously default to the media (TV, books and movies) as their primary relationship role models. You and I both know this is often the farthest thing from reality. People just don'’t know where else to turn for help.

Yes, to stop all this dysfunction and improve our relational intelligence we must all be willing to subscribe to philosophy and practice of healthy relationship choices and the skills which will support those healthy choices.

This starts with you knowing yourself first and foremost!

How? Choose to Marry Your Self First!…and you'’ll discover the following:

* Know and live your life purpose.

* Understand and utilize the Law of Attraction and the Law of Action to generate your greatest abundance and prosperity.

* Know, understand, develop and maintain personal boundaries.

* Practice your unique spirituality and live from your Higher Self.

* Utilize your support network.

* Communicate effectively in all areas of your life.

* Understand the healthy, normal stages of relationships.

* Create a relationship success template to prevent relationship dysfunction.

* Commit to ongoing personal growth.

* Develop stress, priority, and time management mechanisms.

* Accept yourself for exactly who you are, flaws and all.

When you commit to Marry Your Self First, you'’ll know who you are, what you want, and the direction of your life. You'’ll discover your unique passionate purpose and the amazing prosperity thereof, and with all that you'’ll be totally prepared to create relationship bliss.

I invite you NOW to increase your relational intelligence, and expand your relational awareness to create more powerful relationships in your life and to have the most passionate, purposeful and prosperous life you possibly

Exactly Whose Life Purpose, or Dharma, Are You Living?

Filed Under Personal Development | Comments Off 

By Ken Donaldson

If you are not living your life on purpose, then you must be living it accidentally. People who live accidentally ALWAYS end up settling for less than satisfactory lives.

So how about living your life with purpose and on purpose? Besides, you will sleep better at night knowing just who the person is you'’re sleeping with every night. In other words, you will know yourself thoroughly and intimately.

Your Personal Compass and a Life of Purpose.

Life has targets and distractions. The clearer you are about what and where your targets are, the better shot you have at hitting them. Likewise, the sharper your awareness of any distractions in or around your life, the easier it is to avoid them.

Living a life of purpose and on purpose means forming a clear definition of your primary life target: Your Life Purpose. It’’s knowing who you are, why you'’re here, and what it is you'’re to do with this life of yours. Your life purpose becomes your personal compass which gives your life direction, and thereby creates a purposeful life.

People who don'’t know their life purpose often find themselves chasing the dreams of others, or doing what they think others think they should do. This is referred to as an inherited purpose.

Such people live a life based on assumption, presumption, and old programming. These are all distractions from one’’s true self; and being distracted results in an unfulfilled life full of co-dependent relationships and unsatisfactory career paths. Essentially this means you'’re living according to other people’’s values and purpose.

So let me ask you - are you living according to other people’’s values and purpose or YOUR OWN???

Next question: What is Your Dharma?

Living your life on purpose allows your personal compass to direct you toward fulfilling your life purpose. When you'’re on your intended path, you'’re in dharma, which is an old Sanskrit word which Webster’’s Dictionary defines as: an individual’’s duty fulfilled by observance of custom or law; the basic principles of cosmic or individual existence; conformity to one’’s duty and nature.

Your Dharma is what you were born to be.

It’’s what your DNA makeup has programmed you to be; and it’’s the path of life on which you'’ll achieve the greatest degree of happiness, success, and fulfillment, AND where you'’ll also have the most impact on humankind.

Dharma is like wearing a pair of comfortable shoes. You feel good in them because they fit you so well. When you'’re out of dharma, and you find yourself off your intended path, it’’s like wearing a pair of shoes which are too tight, too restricting and uncomfortable; you feel miserable wearing them.

When you'’re in dharma, all of your talents and energy emerge and converge to produce positive effects for you and all of those around you. You can'’t help but exude qualities of passion, peace, happiness, and fulfillment.

As a result, you'’ll naturally practice patience, honesty, compassion, self-control, forgiveness and reason. Likewise, living in your Dharma will also help you let go of unnecessary anger, resentment, judgment, envy, greed and jealousy.

You and everyone around you benefits from your dharma. There may be times when it seems as if you'’re going against what others want you to do, but by being in and true to your dharma…

You'’re actually creating what’’s best for everyone - yourself and others.

Many people live their entire lives without being in dharma or on their intended path. There’’s absolutely no joy in this. To live the greatest life you'’re capable of living you need to know who you are and where you'’re going, As a result, the choices of what to do become much clearer.

So take a moment to think about your dharma shoes - are they comfortable and fit just right or are they too tight or too loose? Live on Purpose and your journey will be a comfortable one.
