Cosmetic surgery has become the subject of intense media and public
interest in the last few years. It is unique amongst the surgical
specialties in that prospective patients are directly targeted by
advertising, and often, through the use of aggressive sales and
marketing techniques. For the general public and potential
patients, understanding the procedures and accessing high-quality
care is problematic, and independent professional advice from an
appropriately trained and experienced doctor is essential. This
advice should include a realistic assessment of the benefits and
complications of any treatment.
This book provides a clear and informative guide to cosmetic
surgery and an overview of the range of procedures now available.
The book also features an explanation of what makes a well-trained
cosmetic surgeon and how to choose one. Individual chapters are
devoted to specific procedures including facelifting, breast
surgery, eyelid and chin lifts, liposuction, lasers/peels, botox
and fillers and abdominoplasty.
The beauty bible for a new generation: in this invaluable natural
guide, illustrated with black-and-white drawings and thirty-two
pages of color photos, internationally acclaimed nutrition and
natural beauty expert David Wolfe offers proven strategies designed
to improve appearance, vitality, and health from the inside out.
Each year, women absorb five pounds of toxins using common beauty
products. Wolfe, one of America's foremost nutrition experts,
argues that you shouldn't have to trade good health for exceptional
beauty. There are safe, effective, and most importantly, natural
ways to enjoy glowing skin and gorgeous hair. In The Beauty Diet,
he offers these solutions for cleansing and nourishing the body,
slowing the aging process, and transforming your health from the
inside out so that your beauty radiates like never before. Grounded
in science and based on a foundation of rejuvenation and the
enjoyment of life, The Beauty Diet is a guide to unleashing the
potential for beauty within you. Wolfe explains how the human body
chemically reacts to various elements of nutrition, physical
activity, and sleep-information you can use to look and feel better
instantly. Natural, toxin-free beauty is not only the best way to
achieve lasting beauty, it is the only way. Under Wolfe's guidance,
learn the simple dietary and lifestyle changes like implementing
organic superfoods and detoxifying through proper
mineralization-balancing your acid and alkaline levels that have
lasting results. Featuring simple, clean recipes for delicious
meals and smart tips for using natural resources such as
cryotherapy, activated charcoal, probiotics, and more, The Beauty
Diet is the ultimate resource for the healthiest route to radiant
beauty.
If you are living with, are close to, or are yourself someone who
is hoarding, you'll know that the disorder goes far deeper than
most people realise, affecting the whole family and presenting huge
challenges to the physical, mental, emotional and even financial
wellbeing of anyone involved. Jo Cooke is Director of one of the
UK's leading support services for people affected by hoarding and
clutter, and has written this sensitive and empathetic book to help
anyone experiencing hoarding difficulties. She gives insight into
Hoarding Disorder - explaining what it is and, importantly, what it
isn't - and what may trigger hoarding. There are strategies for how
to assess the scale of situation and lay the groundwork to address
it, and insights into who can help and how they can do it. An 8
step-plan gives practical steps to tackle the hoarding, supported
by suggestions for what to do with the 'stuff', and advice on
safeguarding - as well as techniques to support the hoarder as they
attempt to stay clutter-free. There is space in the book for
individuals and their own stories of hoarding, giving an empowering
voice to people affected by the condition, and replacing the morbid
curiosity that often accompanies it. With plenty of information on
resources and therapies that can help, this is a warm and hugely
practical guide that can only help anyone affected in any way by
hoarding.

'Not a cosy series of reminiscences but a slice of bygone reality.
This delightful collection of country curiosities shows rural life
in the raw a hundred or more years ago. Hugely enjoyable, a real
eye-opener and surprisingly useful!' Alan Titchmarsh A perfectly
formed and beautifully presented collection of titbits from the
ever-surprising pages of Country Life. Flitting from observations
on cheese rolling in Gloucestershire to smuggling silk in Sussex,
from Shakespeare's Avon to the vanishing sign language of country
tramps ... and all by way of a charming rumination on the origins
of the simnel cake. Within these lovely pages there will indeed be
something for everyone. Classic writing on the idyllic British
countryside, Wodehousian ruminations on fishing and golf, and
moving accounts of beloved (and unusual) pets. With a highly
entertaining blend of expert views and humorous asides, Curious
Observationsis a perfect Christmas gift.
Commercial hair dyes contain thousands of different chemicals, some
of which are reported to be carcinogenic but you don't have to
choose between gorgeous colour and good health. Hair care expert
Christine Shahin shows you how to use nontoxic natural plant
pigments - henna, indigo, amla, and cassis - to colour your hair
naturally, and with beautiful results! These pigments are readily
available at natural food stores and online; they're simple, safe,
and easy to use; and they cost much less than a trip to the salon.
With clearly written instructions and step-by- step photography,
Shahin shows you exactly how to apply these pigments, alone or in
combinations, to achieve a full range of shades of brown, black,
and red. She also includes instructions for transitioning from
chemical dyes to natural ones and for using chemical and natural
dyes together.
