Is Your Body "Beach Ready"?
For many coastal areas, beach season is already in full swing. However, we still have quite a bit of bikini weather left. For those of you past your twenties and a fondness for pasta (like me!) looking your body-best may be a challenge. Granted, you need a good three months to achieve a real body turnaround, but there are a few tricks to looking your best—fast.

My Favorite Beauty Reads: Blogs, Magazines, and Books--OH MY!
It can be so very difficult getting true, unbiased info regarding beauty products these days. The Internet-thorn-in-my-side happens to be those portal sites that “review” products that only highlight those which link to a place to buy them. Sometimes the only place to buy these products happens to be your corner pharmacy, or perhaps a doctor’s officer. When it comes to getting my monthly dose of beauty gossip and general beauty trend reports, a few favorites come to mind. And in no particular order!
Breast Augmentation: Implants Over the Muscle or Under?
When I had my first breast augmentation surgery, I chose sub-glandular placement of my implants under my plastic surgeon’s guidance. Now at the time (June 1998), I must admit I did not know as much about breast augmentation as I do today. I was opting for transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA; through the navel) which I am a huge proponent of, so if I could avoid the breast lift scars, I was surely going to do so!
Silicone vs. Saline: The Best Pick For Active Girls
Usually the choice between saline and silicone is usually just an aesthetic decision. For me I feel the choice is an easy one considering my active lifestyle. Just this morning I went on a balloon jump and, although my opening was slow this time, I have had hard openings (which can cause the chest strap to do a number on my boobs. Although I am presently implantless, I am in the process of scheduling consultations to get them back! The last thing I need is a messy rupture which will require more downtime, and less active-time.
I am also worried that in the event of a silicone rupture, it is possible that every bit of silicone will not be removed. I just don’t feel the need to risk local complications from having inflammation from silicone being in the pocket area.
