Tips for Women: Looking Great at 40

Turning 40 certainly isn’t the worst thing in the world even if it does bring about the beginning of a few undesirable changes to the body. Instead of dreading these changes, learn to accept them gracefully and work with them rather than against them. Although camouflaging some of these changes is effective, in most cases, dealing with them in new, insightful ways is going to be the most effective in the long run. Lots of helpful tips are included below. Change up your wardrobe. Buy something new to wear every so often. If you continue to wear the same outfits all of the time, the obvious signs of aging become more noticeable. Change your hairstyle. Just because you are getting older now does not mean that you cannot dabble in different cuts. In fact, a shorter cut might be more flattering especially if your hair has begun to thin out as it often does when people age. Hide the wrinkles. Unfortunately, the test of time sometimes seems to be just exactly how much can the human skin...

Men Want Real Women - What's a Woman to Do

Did you know Katie Couric said "respect your wrinkles!" on NBC's Today Show? Matt Lauer said "confident women" are a turn-on and Al Roker agrees, "Women look sexy when they're just themselves, wearing jeans and a T-shirt with less makeup." They were discussing a poll released by Zogby International and ladies, men don't particularly care for the "Barbie doll look", rather from the 1,000 men who were surveyed, only 6% prefer Botox to wrinkles, 69% thought breast implants are not sexy and 50% want women to ditch the lipstick.

Yeast Infection Treatment

Yeast is a fungus scientifically referred to as Candida. There is no direct evidence that it is passed. Yeast infections are likely to affect three out of four women at least once in their lifetime. These fungi live on all surfaces of our bodies. Under certain conditions, they can become so numerous they cause infections, particularly in warm and moist areas. Examples of such infections are yeast infections, thrush, skin and diaper rash, and nailbed infections. A yeast infection is irritation of the area around vulva. It is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus or yeast Candida. Yeast normally live in the in small numbers, but when the bacteria become out of balance, too many yeast grow and cause an infection. Yeast infections are very common. About 75 percent of women have a yeast infection during their lives. And almost half of women have two or more yeast infections. These infections enter into the bloodstream through breakdowns or cuts in the skin or mucous membranes. Yeast infec...

My Wife's Triumph Over Uterine Fibroids

There's nothing quite like sitting down on a crisp fall Sunday morning to write about my wife's uterus. I suppose I could have written something generic about the topic of uterine fibroids, but I prefer to write personal stories about true-life experiences that have the potential to inspire and motivate readers. It all started about a year after we got married. During our first year of marriage, like most couples, our focus was on starting a family, which meant we did our best to make that happen. So far, so good. But after almost a year of trying without success, we began to wonder if something might be wrong.

Then he did an ultrasound test to check out her uterus. When they gave us the results, it would have felt better if they had used a shotgun. A...
