Looks of the Decades: 2000’s

2000’s

The growing trend during the past two decades has been to fight the natural aging process. The miracle creams of the 90’s gave way to miracle treatments of 2000. Botox injections and collagen lip implants have become quick fix beauty staples for many. Makeup trends of past decades merge, as people start to individualize their looks to suit coloring and features. So, women are either opting for a makeup that is a mixture of all the past trends, or choosing their preferable one or the one that suits the best their own style.

In the following photo, I chose a nude but frosty look like in a fairytale.

Breast Cancer Early Detection Can Save Your Life!

Posted by Hala Ajam

Breast cancer is the 5th leading cause of death among women over the age of 40. However, if diagnosed at its earliest stages, breast cancer is not fatal, and statistics show that there is actually has a very high survival rate. This is why it is so important to inform the public on issues such as early detection, symptoms, risk factors and healthy habits to help ward off breast cancer.

Early Detection

Women of all ages are advised to administer self-breast exams on a monthly basis. Starting this at a young age familiarizes you with your own normal breast tissue; this will make you more capable of noticing an irregularity such as a lump, if it should ever occur. Risk of breast cancer increases with age, which is why women should begin getting mammograms once they turn 40, on an annual or bi-annual basis. If you have an immediate relative who was diagnosed with breast cancer you should talk to your doctor about when you should start receiving mammograms, as they may want you to begin earlier. When breast cancer firsts strikes it may not have any signs or symptoms, which would make it impossible to pick up on a self-exam. However, mammograms (X-rays of the breast) can pick up on breast cancer in its earliest stage; this makes them a doctor’s best chance to diagnose breast cancer early.

Symptoms

There are some common symptoms that many women experience when they have breast cancer. The symptoms below do not necessarily indicate breast cancer, but they can be a warning sign and should probably be checked out by a doctor just in case:

A new lump or bump in the breast or underarm
Any discharge from the nipple
Irritation or dimpling of the breast skin
Change in breast size or shape
Inversion or pulling of the nipple
Flaky skin or (abnormal) redness in the nipple and/or breast
Pain in any area of the breast

Finally, I would like to give you a small and important tip that when going to the yearly checkup of breast cancer, make sure that the person who is doing the mammography is whether a professional specialized doctor or a woman in order not to risk yourself to be sexually abused since we hear lots of stories.
