Now You Know

This can actually be one of the most challenging jobs for a man; particularly if he is attempting to do it without the awareness of the important person in his life. How does one choose the correct design of the piece and how big should the diamond be? Should the gold be yellow or white? Is there any info to help a man out in this most concerned time of his life? Whether or not you are the person or the soon to be promised girl, here are some helpful tips.

One of the first things you should do is research the jeweller you are about to do business with. Learn about past sales and the quality of the goods they sell. Additionally , compare their quality and cost with other reputable companies. As an example, do they focus on the Bead Set Engagement Ring?

If you know what to look out for in a gem, you can compare it with the characteristics of the individual for whom you are making the purchase. Learning the four C’s of a gem; cut, color, clearness, and carat weight, will give you insight into the personality the stone. Of the four C’s, clarity is what jewellers say gives the stone a character of its own. They rate the diamond on a measure of imperfect, which has too many flaws, to one with no flaws. Finding the gem with no failings is quite rare ( less than 1% ) but the gems with some imperfections is more likely to mimic human qualities.

The brilliancy of the gem comes from the way in which it reflects light. The gem’s composition plays a massive role in how the gem is cut. Once the imperfections are mentioned a cutter will make attempts to design his cuts to remove the defects, and simultaneously produce the right angles where the final result is brilliancy.

Deciding on the colour of the gem is also an element to think about when selecting a gem with the right personality. A clear gem with no colour gets a “D” rating and is the most valuable. The more color you see, the less perfect the gem is. Is there a color that is evoked when brooding about that special someone? You ought to be mindful of this when having a look at gems.

The weight or carat weight of a gem can be confusing because costs can be as much as four times as high for a gem only twice the dimensions of another. The weight is gauged by the seller and must be disclosed to the client. The role it plays in the personality of the gem is as great as the other three “C’s” unless the gem is of substantial size. It’s good to debate your needs with your New Zealand Engagement Rings expert before going on to make your selection.

Does the Velasmooth Promise Deliver?
 
As women everywhere (about 93% of them) struggle to eliminate unsightly cellulite, affectionately referred to as “cottage cheese”, it’s easy to be attracted to the full page spreads from classy spas for the quick removal of cellulite with procedures such as Velasmooth.

Can Cellulite Vanish With This Machine?

After all, everyone wants to look and feel their best. That’s completely normal. But when it comes to plunking down a large amount of cash for a procedure it’s smart to get a little information on what type of results can be expected.

What is Velasmooth?

Velasmooth is the precursor to Velashape. It’s a hand held device that has the ability to administer a deep tissue massage using dual rollers and a vacuum. This technique differs from the earlier Endermologie since it has an added element of heat. It differs from Velashape, made by the same company, as a result of an increase in RF power which is the source of heat.

What are the Benefits of Velasmooth?
The FDA has approved the marketing of Velasmooth for the following uses:

Relief of minor muscle aches and pain
Relief of muscle spasm
Temporary improvement of local blood circulation
Temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite
Temporary reduction of thighs circumferences

Are the Results of Velasmooth Permanent?
The FDA approval clearly indicates that any reduction seen in the appearance of cellulite or in the measurement of a person’s thighs is temporary. Many of the reputable spas advertising this treatment caution their patients to be “realistic” about the results. Even so, there have been Adverse Events reported to the FDA by a couple of unsatisfied patients.

In their complaints they say:
“I was optimistic about the procedure and I felt more confidence…because of the FDA approval…I went through this treatment twice, a total of 32 treatments. I am very depressed over the procedure as I look exactly the same after as I did before. It did nothing for me….I feel like I was fooled by the promise of loosing my cellulite and now all I have lost is money.”

“I received 22 sessions of Velasmooth treatment for a period of 5 months. There were no changes in the reduction of my cellulite in my buttock and thigh area. These treatments are costing me and they refuse to refund my money.”

It’s tempting to believe that improved circulation, draining of lymphs, and muscle massages will correct the condition of cellulite. The stronger a person’s desire to fix what is perceived as a beauty problem, the more gullible they are to buy into a quick and easy solution with both their hopes and their dollars.

Consumer Reports recently noted that of all the beauty treatments and potions, those related to baldness and cellulite cures are “notorious for suckering consumers”.

However, I did read about one would-be consumer that took a different approach to the company and its promise for an easy cellulite solution. Instead of “consuming” the hype on cellulite reduction, she purchased stock in the company!

Is Velasmooth Safe for Everyone?
In the December, 2004 issue of The Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy the results of a study of

Genuine Cellulite Before and After Photos

True and Real Before and After photos of successful cellulite reduction are extremely hard to come by. This is true for several reasons:

1 – It is rare for any average woman to want to share photos of her private body areas.

2 – It is even harder to get a woman to include a photo of her face to go with the body photo; even after she was able to get rid of cellulite.

3 – The majority of photos on cellulite treatment related websites are doctored or photo-shopped in one or more ways.

Nonetheless, we were able to find one of the best cellulite before and after photo displays and an accompanying email regarding how she did it – and that she will be sharing updated photos as she continues to reverse the cause of her cellulite.

Here it is:

Hi Joey,

I have attached some pics of proof for you. The first 3 are photos I took 3 weeks ago before I started your program. The next 3 (black G-string) are photos I took today, just 3 weeks into the program.

I have been doing the program every other day for 3 weeks. I hope the pics show the dramatic changes that I am seeing in the mirror and feeling. I definately notice a difference in the shape and texture of my legs and my buns and thighs. I definately have less cellulite on my lower body.

Joey I really want to take this moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have really opened my eyes. I now feel armed with all of the knowledge about cellulite and why I had it.

I am no longer going to be the woman sucked in by any gimmick or sales pitch relating to cellulite. It really amazes me how much BS there is about cellulite. It is so disgusting that so many companies prey on us vulnerable women to get us to buy their product, which THEY know themselves will NOT work.

I have been fighting the cellulite battle for as long as I can remember and you Joey have been the only person who has given me the right tools and information to win this battle.

I now know I will win the battle because in such a short time I am already experiencing changes in my lower body. My inner thighs are firmer and smaller, my bottom is lifting and so are my legs…..literally lifting, it is an amazing feeling. I am already fitting into clothes that I haven’t been able to for years, and all this is happening at the age of 41 and AFTER 2 children!

The odd thing is I have always been fit and healthy, going to the gym for the last 20 years, lifting weights and following gym programs; BUT I have had a more noticeable change in only 3 weeks with your program than I have ever seen with doing weights and machines for 20 odd years. It might sound crazy to some, but it’s true no matter which way you cut it.

As I told you I am canceling my gym membership because I know I am better off doing your precise program at home. I had been doing your program at my gym for the last 3 weeks and one of the

Twisted Claims and Strange Ingredients of
 
Cellulite Creams and Lotions

If you were to analyze all these cellulite products individually – you would find a bizarre array of ingredients ranging from horse-chestnut to dimethylaminoethanol to aminophylline (an asthma medication).

You would also see an assortment of claims ranging from “removes waste and toxins in the skin” to “speeds lipolysis of fat stores and tones skin as result”. Which might make you wonder “Which of these claims is actually tied to cellulite removal if they are all different?”

So, here are 22 of them; in no specific order:

Why So Many Cellulite Creams and
 
Anti-Cellulite Lotions?

So, Why are there so many?

Here’s the reason: Since none of them work, women keep trying the next one, and the next one, and the next one. All out of desperation, thinking “one of them has to work for me and get rid of the cellulite…”
