Well all the stores are full of back to school supplies and the rush is on to get the latest and greatest in backpacks and lunch boxes with their favorite tween celebrity on them.  Hanna Montana i.e. Miley Cirus seems to be the hottest thing in quite some time.  Hard to believe she is the product of “Achie Breakie Heart”, ya know but even old Billy Ray has proved to be quite a Dad and his wife I’m sure deserves a lot of the credit too.  Wasn’t too sure about that one photo shoot of Miley but she’s young and we all make mistakes.  She has a lot to learn and I have a feeling she’s a pretty smart cookie and if not, she’s got plenty of back up to see that doesn’t happen again.

I told you about Sweetie thinking she needed to lose a few pounds.  Well she did a little research and found out that a low carb diet will help her to lose more weight faster and also improve her cholesterol levels if that’s a concern, which it isn’t for her right now.  She found an article on http://health.msn.com/ about diets and how they help or not.  After reading the article, she decided that restricting her carbs was the way to go for her.  Sounds like a good idea to me too because there is a better chance for success and improved health too.

Sweeties neice is on her way over today.  She’s 4 months old and we haven’t seen her in a few weeks.  There’s just something about having a baby around that makes you realize that the world isn’t such  a bad place but then you start thinking about all the harm there is for her once she get’s a little older and it makes you wonder if you really want to bring another life into this crazy world or not.

Botox has quickly becoming one of the biggest ‘plastic surgies’ used in a long time. Park Ridge Botox is a quality establishment in Chicago where you can be sure to get the best care available.  It’s no longer just women that are having Botox injections.  Men are now finding out the benefits too.

I know stem cell therapy is a hot topic to a lot of people.  I think research into it is wonderful.  The stem cells hold the key to curing many diseases that are otherwise incurable or so many experts seem to think.  A lot of people thank that stem cell research will cause more women to have abortions but I don’t think one has anything to do with the other.  Women are going to have abortions for one reason or another and I don’t think stem cell research has nothing to do what so ever with that decision.  If more hospitals would or could harvest the stem cells from the umbilical cords of the babies that are born in their hospitals, we would have a great deal of them to conduct research with but the cords are simply discarded.  Some parents are having them harvested in case the child has a life threatening disease but it is not made readily known to most parents.

There is another way to harvest stem cells. Visit C’elle and you will find a new way a woman can collect her own stem cells through her normal monthly cycle.  It is a new method that will allow the collection of women’s stem cells to be used if she ever faces a life threatening disease.  The best part is these cells may even be able to be used by her parents, siblings and her children along with herself.  Stem cells fight heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and much more.  We really don’t know the extent of what stem cells can help cure or at least improve the quality of life in some diseases.  Through the stem cells, we could possibly find a cure for HIV, AIDS, and other diseases we haven’t even thought of preventing or possible cures for.
