Scary Night

2010 February 5
by Health Diva

I was scared as hell last night. I thought it was the end of Jade as people know me. My lips turned blue and my temperature skyrocketed around one a.m. But don’t panic (like I did). Hubby did a good job of taking care of me so I’m feeling much better now. I think I am even up for checking our plumbing fixture around the house. It has been acting up and I need to know what went wrong so I can call somebody to fix it. After last night I promised to myself. I would take care of my body better.

Job in Fashion or Beauty Industry

by Health Diva

I have often dreamed of working for the beauty industry where I can be up-to-date with all the latest accessories, trendy clothes, fashionable makeup that the industry has to offer, even if it entails just a boring desk job or being a sales assistant.

I mean, one’s gotta work her way up, right? It’s like The Devil Wears Prada story. I would love to have the job that Andrea Sachs held for Miranda Priestly (of course, minus the latter’s I-am–THE-snow-queen attitude). I would grab the chance, even if it means transferring again, so fashion-related philadelphia pa jobs are more than welcome.

Remember the Alphaville song of the same title? How true is it that people want to be forever young? Well, maybe not forever but we want to postpone our getting “there” as long as possible. Why else would the anti-aging industry flourish like it does right now? People who take hgh supplements may have a lot of reasons, as HGH products serve many and varied purposes, but it is patronized mainly for it’s anti-aging effects. So much for letting age take its toll. What most of us want is to age gracefully like Meryl Streep.

Shake That Belly

A flat belly is every woman’s (and man’s) dream. But as age takes its toll, that belly fat is starting to show, especially if you have been lax about taking care to be in shape during earlier years. Some turn to belly dancing to get rid of unwanted fat around the middle. Some resort to surgery to reduce belly fat. But whatever the method, the journey that some people are willing to take to get that perfect body is quite a story to tell.

Diets That Work

Thin is beautiful, or so they say. No wonder the plethora of dieting products and programs in the market nowadays. But how does one know about the particular diets that work? These products, are, after all, business. Whatever the advertisements claim, the only diets that work is that which takes it slowly but surely. A quick fix is not only dangerous to one’s health, it is also a method that is bound to fail over time. And without discipline, no amount of fad diet can make you shed those extra pounds.

Skin Care: Acne Problems

acneAt one point in our lives, we may have encountered having acne and fretted over it big time. It’s a common reaction, but what with the advancement of beauty products and technologies, worrying over acne is a thing of the past. Acne treatments like tazorac and other prescription medications are available for purchase. Now not every one of these products work, since what works for one may not work for another, so during these situations, it is best to ask your dermatologist about it.

The Holiday Aftermath

We all love the holidays. Who wouldn’t? This is the chance to unwind while indulging in our favorite treats. It’s heaven. But it’s what the holidays do to our waistline after it is over that we positively hate. Some people panic and use all the diet supplements that they could get their hands on while cutting significantly back on food intake, others go to the gym to burn those unwanted extras, some work harder in the hopes of decreasing weight. No matter what the method of losing weight, it must be kept in mind that losing it fast is a no-no. Slowly but surely is the healthy way (the only way) to lose weight.

Is There Really A Best Shampoo For Hair Loss?

by Health Diva

There are already a lot of brands out there, and more are coming out by the minute. Each are claiming that they are the best shampoo for hair loss, but are they, really? Like any other shampoo, hair loss products depend on what type of hair you have. I tend to favor organic shampoos more, to avoid damage from harsh chemicals, but that’s just me. So it’s best to not be swayed by dazzling advertisements for hair loss shampoos, as they are just that, advertisements for the product. What you need to know is what your hair will respond favorably to, no matter the packaging, the price, or the endorser.

Time To Take A Break

Again?? I just got back from vacation but the onslaught of tasks waiting for me back home are overwhelming. It’s one of those things that’s weird about us people. It’s very easy for us to adapt to a leisurely life but find it very hard to get back to our work routine. Is it because the human body is not made for work? LOL. That’s me wishful thinking. And here’s another daydream coming: I wish me and hubby could stay in any one of the hotels in destin fl, preferably near one of their world-famous beaches. Can you say blissful?

Health-care Professionals Wanted

There are a lot of people who belong in the workforce, but not enough health care professionals. I cannot imagine why this is so, given that health is our most important asset, and what with the increased demand for medical services due to our lifestyles nowadays. But with the popularity of the Internet, it is not surprising to see online universities now offering online degree in health care to those interested to serve the public through the said field and who need the full flexibility that an online degree offers to adult learners. The Western Governors Online University, for instance, not only has health care degrees, but other accredited, competency-based degree programs that aims to educate more people through the power of the Word Wide Web.
