Celebrity plastic surgery before and after!

Ah, the Real Housewives. From fake breasts to liposuction to permanently immobile faces, housewives north, south, east, and west have gone under the knife for some serious bodily-tweaking. Last year, Atlanta's very own Nene Leakes got a breast implant reduction, a breast lift, a nose job, and liposuction. While she definitely looks fab, we loved our Nene just the way she was before she got these procedures done. Bloop, bloop, bloop!

And where would this list be without the Queen of the Knife herself, Miss Heidi Montag. The former Hills star went wayyyy beyond a few basic touch-ups back in 2009, with procedures including a brow lift, a nose job, a chin reduction, ear-pinning, and liposuction. Not too surprisingly, Heidi's mom was a little disturbed when she saw the results, especially considering her daughter's before photo was perfectly fine! Guess that's what happens when you've got a supportive guy like Spencer Pratt in your life.

Eating Disorder Indicators!

Do you know the signs of anorexia? What about the tell-tale traits that signal another eating disorder?

Most medical experts agree that a third of people with the disorder will remain chronically ill, a third will die of their disorder, and a third will recover — with one significant caveat. There is surprisingly little agreement as to what “recovery” means for people with anorexia. (link)

The Aqua Detox Scam?

While strolling through a local mall in South Carolina minding my own business, I came across a booth displaying the following picture:

The sign below read as follows:
Your feet are being place through which both negative and positive ions enter the body. These ions generate a series of vibrations and stimulate system of body’s elimination releasing build up toxins. You will have improved cardiovascular and metabolic function by having an aqua detox treatment. The others benefits are reducing your occurrences on inflammation, headaches, menstrual cramping, or skin disorders.

So says them!


Aqua Detox International claims that the apparatus "produces a frequency of positive and negative ions, which gently resonates through the body and stimulates all the cells within it. . . . rebalancing the cellular energy, enabling the cells to perform efficiently and . . . release any toxins that may have built up." Many skeptics suspected that the color change produced by the Aqua Detox was caused by rust (oxidized iron), rather than toxins.

The mere thought of this treatment proved disgusting to every member of my family. Watch this and see if you disagree:



I would suggest running this machine with and without feet to compare the difference. Common sense would tell you that the water should be clear in the empty machine.

Understanding Bulimia!

Bulimia nervosa affects up to 4.2 percent of the females in the U.S. If you find yourself needing to vomit after you eat, it's time to get some help. Watch this video for more information, including help with bulimia recovery and more on other eating disorders.

Please see the chart below on what happens to someone who has bulimia?





This video is about a girl, like 8 million others, who suffer from Bulimia and other eating disorders. It is for all the people out there suffering from their own worst enemy: eating disorder. For all the voices lost to a society too quick to judge them. I hope the message this video conveys will open the eyes to the people who are fortunate not to have ED, but are able to lend a helping hand to help those in need of it.


If you know someone with bulimia, you can help. Follow these steps from the National Eating Disorders Association:


  • Set a time to talk. Set aside a time to privately talk about your concerns with your friend. Be open and honest. Make sure you talk in a place away from distractions.
  • Tell your friend about your concerns. Tell your friend about specific times when you were worried about her eating or exercise behaviors. Explain that you think these things may show a problem that needs professional help.
  • Ask your friend talk about these concerns. She could talk to a counselor or doctor who knows about eating issues. If you feel comfortable, offer to help your friend make an appointment or go with her to her appointment.
  • Avoid conflicts or a battle of the wills with your friend. If your friend doesn’t admit to a problem, repeat your feelings and the reasons for them. Be a supportive listener.
  • Don’t place shame, blame, or guilton your friend. Do not use accusatory “you” statements like, “You just need to eat.” Or, “You are acting irresponsibly.” Instead, use “I” statements like, “I’m concerned about you because you refuse to eat breakfast or lunch.” Or, “It makes me afraid to hear you vomiting.”
  • Avoid giving simple solutions. Don’t say, "If you'd just stop, then everything would be fine!"
  • Express your continued support. Remind your friend that you care and want her to be healthy and happy.
