Preparing for the big four-oh

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

The 4oth birthday seems to have more of a significance than any of the other “oh” birthdays largely for historical reasons: it represented the half-way mark for one’s life.

However, when you’re looking for 40th bday gifts for her, none of that matters. It’s a difficult one to call as women rarely want their age bandied about and still less so when it’s the 40th with it’s feeling of “over the hill”.

Best to steer clear of anything highlighting the actual age I think!

Getting rid of that unwanted tattoo

Friday, January 28th, 2011

sexy woman with tattooEven if you’ve put a lot of thought into the idea of having a tattoo before considering things like the design and placement, it’s still possible that at some point in the future that you will want to think about removing it.

But what does a tattoo remover actually get up to?

The problem is that a tattoo is basically designed to be permanent. It’ll certainly change over the years as your skin changes but the ink will remain within your skin essentially forever. Or, in short, it ain’t going to be an easy thing to remove.

So what the tattoo removers do is basically to erase the whole area of the design. Since the ink is within your skin this means that it’s generally going to leave a scar broadly overwriting the are where the tattoo used to be. Thus, small tattoos are easier to get rid of than large ones and the young lady’s tattoo shown here wouldn’t realistically be possible to remove.

Definitely a case of think a lot then think some more before deciding to get that tattoo.

Sleeping easily

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

The problem with sleeping problems is that it’s often very much a family problem with one non-sleeper keeping at least one other person awake because of it.

Which, of course, means that there’s even more of an interest in sleep aids than there would be normally. But do they work? Well, yes, but that’s not the problem. The issue is that when you can’t sleep there’s generally a reason behind it, most commonly some form of stress leading to your brain not closing down normally. It’s that problem that you need to look at as sleeping aids aren’t a long term solution.
