Some women believe that breast augmentation surgery isn’t the  route to get bigger breasts. Instead, they’d rather get one of these to help boost their bust:

1. Pills. You’ve probably seen the ads – pop a pill and you’ll have bigger boobs in weeks. The main active ingredient in many of these pills is Pueriaria Mirifica, a plant that is believed to help promote estrogen levels when consumed, increasing breast tissue and ligaments to enlarge the breasts. Many pills claim to boost size within a matter of weeks.

2. Gum. Containing the same active ingredient as the pills (Pueriaria Mirifica), there are a few types of gum out there that claim to give you bigger breasts. The before and after pictures selling B2Up gum show a woman who went from a 32A to a 34C in three months. Too good to be true? We think so.

3. Have your cake and eat it, too. Kick back and enjoy a piece of F-Cup Cake, made by the same company as B2Up gum (no surprise there). Available in plain, chocolate, and banana. But watch out, since one piece is loaded with 234 calories and 3.36grams of fat.

4. Allow yourself to exploit the power of your mind and will yourself into having bigger boobs with breast enlargement hypnosis. Can the power of the mind really give you a boost of up to 3 inches? We’ll never know unless you tell us!

5. Lavender oil massages. Just a few drops of this fragrant flower’s essential oil is supposed to help increase size by mimicking the effects of estrogen.

Has any of these “treatments” worked for you? Let us know! As far as we know, the only reliable way to improve the size of your bust safely with relatively controlled results is by breast augmentation surgery.

Warmer days, sunshine and nature is waking up from a long dreary winter – a nice time for us all, except for those who have to deal with hayfever. For weeks, sufferers will be sneezing, sniffling, and getting puffy eyes that cosmetic eye surgery won’t help with.

But wait! There could be something that helps…

The Japan Ringing Tone Laboratory, a company based in Tokyo, has invented the first cellphone ringtone that can ease the symptoms of hayfever. The ringtone is designed to relieve sufferers of sinus problems related to pollen allergies. To take advantage of this extraordinary(?) invention, all you have to do is place the cellphone under your nose while the ringtone is playing.

How does it work, you ask? Well, apparently the developer, Dr. Matsumi Suzuki, says that its soundwaves will knock out the pollen in the nose that’s causing the problem.

Too good to be true? Here’s the disclaimer, as uttered by a company spokesperson. “There is no guarantee that this has real health benefits.”

The company is also well known for their other invention, called Bowlingual. It’s a translation machine for dog barks.

Liver spots are concentrations of melanin in the skin which can be removed by specific laser treatments. They are small and darker coloured than the rest of the skin and most often appear in areas where the skin is frequently exposed by the sun: the face, shoulders, and back of the hands.

Are liver spots, also known as age spots, caused by some malfunction of the liver? Are they an indication of a weak liver? Let’s dispel that old wives’ tale.

The answer is no.

Liver spots are not related to the health of your liver. They are caused by other factors such as aging, sun exposure and hormonal imbalances. Why do we call them liver spots, then? Well, doctors used to believe they were because of some malfunction of the liver, but this has since been proven to be untrue.

With the warmer months ahead, many of us will be donning shorter skirts and pants – except for those of us who don’t want to reveal their cellulite-ridden legs.

While Endermologie has been proven effective for the treatment of those dimply thighs (and deemed as a temporary solution to cellulite by the FDA), some of us may turn to those “magic lotions” and creams that are available on the market today. Many of those cellulite creams and lotions contain an ingredient that promises to reduce the appearance of cellulite: caffeine.

Yes, the same stuff in your coffee.

When topically applied to the desired area, caffeine is supposed to reduce the swelling of the areas around the fat pockets in order to make the skin appear smoother. Because caffeine also has diuretic properties, it is supposed to reduce the amount of trapped fluid in the area. However, there is currently no significant research to prove or disprove this theory. Results, if any, are normally very temporary.

We’d love to hear from you if you’ve tried one of these creams and  they’ve actually worked!

Did you know that scientists have proven that hair growth is not affected by shaving? While most of us believe that shaving makes the hair grow back thicker, it actually doesn’t. It just looks that way because each strand does not taper off as it usually does when left to grow to its full potential. Instead, it remains the same circumference for the whole length which is why it appears “thicker”.

But with shaving being so annoying and such a waste of time, we’re sure this little fact won’t help much in its wavering popularity. Why not take advantage of technology and explore laser hair removal instead? It’s fast, easy, and is permanent, much unlike shaving.

Smoking, overall, is terrible for you. It constricts smaller blood vessels, preventing the healthy circulation of nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It increases the risk of lung cancer. It gives you bad breath. It has been blamed for the cause of many cardiovascular diseases. All that, and there’s still something good about it?

Well, apparently some scientists believe that smoking cigarettes helps to lose weight. While this may not be true for people, it was shown in laboratory research that mice exposed to cigarettes lost weight by affecting the body’s metabolism and how fat was stored.

So, it’s up to you. Get bad skin, hinder your circulation, and increase your chances of getting cancer and cardiovascular disease or try something else!
