Pregnancy and Your Skin
For about 15 + years I have religiously been going to see Dayle Breault, the famous Goddess of Skin for my facials. (I say facials, but its so much more then just that.) Her treatments are a whole facial experience like nothing you have ever had before!!!
The Elusive Joys of Napping
I have been obsessed with napping lately. Unfortunately, not taking naps myself, but admiring those who do. My friend, Alice, takes a nap every day –every day. Just 20 minutes, but I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Yes, the 20 minutes of sleep is one thing to envy, but the whole ritual of self-care surrounding it is, too. Being a daily napper means keeping yourself and your needs front and center (or at least somewhere in view).
Pap Test Guidelines
The Pap test, also known as a Pap smear, is a test used to identify pre-cancerous cells on a woman’s cervix. After 1945, when the American Cancer Society (ACS) began recommending women have Pap tests to detect cervical cancer in its earliest stages, the number of deaths from cervical cancer dropped by approximately 74 percent between 1955 and 1992, according to the E Health MD website. Pap tests used to be recommended for women annually; however, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has recently altered its guidelines for when and how often women should have the test done.
What STDs Do Pap Smears Detect?
Pap smears are a part of annual exams at the gynecologists and play a key role in the early detection of cervical cancer. The pap smear is a swab of the cervical tissue; testing looks for abnormalities or irregularities in the tissue. Pap smears on their own are not comprehensive STD testing, and if you’re sexually active or have unprotected sex, you may want to consider more thorough testing. Some gynecologists typically perform STD testing alongside a pap test, but you should be sure to ask if you would like additional tests.
How to Identify Green Friendly Products
It’s not enough anymore for us to simply compare prices, quality and performance when buying. Growing environmental pollution and toxic waste makes it necessary to consider how every aspect of consumerism will impact the environment. Responsible consumers work on finding ways to reduce waste and save energy, but sometimes we need help knowing which products are the safest and most eco-friendly choices.
