Cellulite treatment

I have been seriously thinking about having a bit of cellulite treatment done. Cellulite can be caused by many different factors, such as

  • Metabolism
  • Physiology
  • Dieting
  • Skin Architecture
  • Tissue Structure
  •  Hormonal Factors
  • Genetic Factors
  • Micro-circulatory System
  •  Extra cellular Matrix
  • Inflammatory alterations

Weather it is hormonal, genetic, predisposing factors or life style, once you have it, it is there to stay without treatment. What ever treatment you choose however, is going to be an ongoing treatment, as there is no absolute cure.

 

There are many different treatments available, however only a few actually work. Laser treatment for cellulite is the leading treatment proven to work. Once you have gotten the cellulite under control, the number of treatments required per year are small. Usually a once a year treatment, much like having your teeth or eyes checked. A simple maintenance that is relatively quick and easy.

Learning about cellulite and it’s causes as well as treatments before committing to one, is of course the smart thing to do. After careful consideration, I have decided to go with laser treatment myself. Of all of the different treatments offered, laser treatment is the only one I have found that is truly backed by the FDA, according to my research.

Originating in Australia, the treatment goes down into the subcutaneous tissue where the cellulite originates and melts the small fatty cells away. This in turn firms up the skin and gets rid of those dimples we women are so self conscious about.

Face it, we all want to look good in that bathing suit during the summer months.  Laser treatment can help us do just that, without the invasive surgery that can leave scars on our bodies, and still unable to wear those shorts and bathing suits we do desperately want to wear. Investigate for yourself and you will see exactly what I am talking about.

Cleaning and laundry today

So I am cleaning the house and doing laundry today. I most of it already done and only a little more to go. Basically, just two loads of laundry to finish drying and fold to put away. I do have to vacuum my bedroom, but I am not in a big hurry for that. I can always do that tomorrow, so I will have something to do. Honestly, my kids are pretty clean around the house, and clean their own rooms. So I am pretty much good to go. I love my life.

New boots

I just bought these for my oldest boy. He has gotten so big and is wearing men’s shoes now. He also has a thing for boots and the Zamberlan Steep boots are nice and will last a long while. That is if his feet don’t out grow them too soon. If they do well, I will just pass them down to his brother. He is catching up to my oldest rather quickly anyway.

Cats

Oh these kittens are driving me crazy. Two of them are doing really well using the litter box, but the other two are not at all using it. I am really sick of having to pick up little piles from all over the place. I am so happy they are weaned and can now be given away. I have one already that has found a home, but just needs to be picked up.

I think I will take the rest to Walmart and stand out front on Saturday when there are a lot of families coming in and out. People are usually willing to take them when you do that, so it should not be a problem. I will just have to deal with my kids later when they are gone though. They will be a little sad.

New TV for the kids

Well the old TV the kids had fell and the port for the cable ripped out of the back. We are going to buy them a flat screen TV that can be mounted on the wall and cannot fall. The wall mount for it will be attached to the studs inside the walls and be much more secure for them. I am kind of glad that we are switching to the flat screen as the other TV fell on top of one of the boys and he could have been injured.

Ugh

Now the stupid toilet is running constantly. There is something wrong on the inside of the tank, that I am going to have to fix soon. It is wasting water more and more each day. I have to make a trip to Home depot sometime this week and purchase what I need to fix it. I know it doesn’t cost all that much. It is just a pain to have to mess with. Ah well, such is life.

Kitchen Magic

I love to cook and creating Kitchen Magic is something my family appreciates. I get tired of eating the same foods all the time, therefore I try to mix it up as much as I can. I try new recipes all the time. Most of the time they work amazingly great. Sometimes however, it is something we just didn’t like even though it came out perfectly. On those days we either choke it down, or end up ordering out. It doesn’t happen often though.

I tried a new breakfast casserole recipe a couple of weeks ago and they absolutely loved it. The Kitchen Magic was definitely their that day. I had to prep it the night before and let it sit in the fridge over night, which was great because all I had to do was pop it into the oven the next morning.  I think I will make it again next weekend as well.

Rainy school day

Couldn’t find the umbrella for the kids this morning. They had to stand on the porch and wait until they heard the bus turn onto the street. Then they ran down the hill and got there just in time. We really should build or put up some kind of over hang or something. That way they can stand under it in inclement weather. It is a definite thought anyway.

Industrial hydraulics and power units

Industrial power is run by hydraulic power or fluid power. Hydraulic power units transmit power by using the controlled circulation of of pressurized fluids, like oil, to a motor that converts it into mechanical power that will support a work load. The power units create a large amount of power, which in turn drives the hydraulics to create a massive amount of pressure into one small area.

Hydraulic power units are used everywhere. Construction equipment like back hoes, skid steers, and dump trucks all have hydraulics on them to lift and move loads. Marine equipment, like the lifts that lift a boat out of the water or on boats with large nets that have to be lifted out of the water as well. The military applications for hydraulic power are virtually limitless. Automotive shops use hydraulic lifts to lift the vehicle into the air so that the mechanic can work on them easier and NASA uses them to lift and move the rockets and space shuttles that we send into outer space.

Farm equipment have power units as well as amusement parks rides, garbage trucks, oil rigs, and even airplanes use them to move their flaps and wheels. There are power units running almost every hydraulic powered equipment in the world. Without power units, many of the things we do today would be virtually impossible, or at least they would take much longer to do.

Hydraulic power units save time and energy, so we can do things in less time and with a minimum of effort. The engine and transmission in your car is a power unit. The motor drives the hydraulic transmission that turns the wheels and makes the car move forward. Hydraulic power units come in many sizes, and can be found in just about every part of your life, including your home. Garbage compactors used in household kitchens are also hydraulic power units.

Pancakes for breakfast

My son is making breakfast this morning. We are having pancakes. I bought one of those add water and shake bottles of pancake mix and he can do it all by himself. He loves to cook and pancakes are one of his absolute favorites. Of course I keep one eye on him, because he is only ten, but he does really well. He will be a wonderful cook one day.
