Death From Botox: Can It Happen To You?
I know a lot of you have probably heard at least one report on the recent deaths of several children after receiving injections of botulinum toxin. I am sure you have also heard of the adverse reactions other patients have experience after using botulinum toxin including Botox, Dysport and Myobloc. Although the reports of death mostly involve patients who were undergoing the experimental use of Botox for leg spacticity due to Cerebral Palsy (CP), I am sure the thought has crossed your mind about the safety of Botox for cosmetic reasons in general.

Wrinkle Smoothers Creams: How Do they Work and How Long Do They Last?
The joy of instant gratification is the enemy of patience. Unfortunately you can’t get the pay-off without the work, especially when it comes to beauty (unless, of course, you’re Jessica Alba). So when you see “instant face lift” or “timeless beauty in a bottle” – you may cringe like me because you know you are considering forking over $50 for yet another cream that will get pushed to the back of your cabinet. But do some work as they claim??
I Have Internet!!!!!!!!!
Everyone take a moment to be thankful that they have Internet and cell coverage from their homes. Seriously. It has taken me forever to get Internet at the new house. I had DSL in the seller’s name when I moved in. The seller’s tried to switch it to my name [and Verizon said they could] but Verizon in the end did not. Well, I tried desperately to get it back knowing that someone was probably waiting in line for it. Well, they were—and they got it because I had one appointment after the other canceled on me by Verizon (without telling me, mind you!!) because “ma’am, you’re too far from the main office to get DSL” Even though I had it when I moved in, albeit very briefly. Apparently there was a capacity for about 12 lines on the hill and I had one of them.
No Hair For My Hairbrush
No hair for my hairbrush, no hair, no hair, no where, no hair…
Well, ladies, it is official. I am bald. Okay, not bald but pretty near. You may remember how excited I was about my last set of hair extensions.. So the recent update is that I took them out two days ago while sitting in my sink with a bag of cotton balls, a bottle of acetone and a fine tooth comb. Now it’s all about the waiting game of growing it out…
Under Eye Bags: What are Non-Surgical Alternatives?
I know someone very close to me who has pretty bad eyebags, and they seem to worsen when they get no sleep. I swear some days they are very minimal, and others—goodness! But how do you tell someone that they need surgery, much less non-surgical remedies for something they probably don’t even know they have, or care?? Unfortunately, eye hollows (like I had) are easier to treat than eye bags. Short of surgery, what are you going to do about them?
