Causes of cellulite have been hidden for too long by myths. Know the truth, and be free. News Canada dispels the myths, and presents the truth.
Myth: Cellulite only happens to overweight women.
Reality: Cellulite results from the skin losing its elasticity and firmness.
This allows fluids and fat deposits into the lower layers of the skin and is not the result of being overweight.
While losing weight may reduce body fat, it does not correct or eliminate cellulite.

Image spas offer guidance and hope and skilled assistance ... but who is pulling the strings?
Danna Schneider suggests that beauty today is actually just smoke and mirrors!
Did you ever notice that the bar is continually being raised on exactly what physical characteristics define beauty?
As I sit in front of the TV, I am bombarded by beauties with pouty lips, perfect bone structure, flawless skin, more "voluptuous" upper regions, size 2 waists, and hair that resembles spun silk.
Take these same beauties and plop them back in time 20-30 years, before
image spas, and ...
To Publish Or Not To Publish!
As you can probably see, I had a spot of bother publishing yesterday's blog.
When I pressed the 'publish' button, the system crashed. So I opened up again, created the post again, and 'published' again.
A quick count of the identical entries in the 'Previous Posts' column shows I repeated that exercise 9 times. While busting to get off the machine for tea, and before the international day clicked over to the next date.
All to no avail.
When I went to the blog it showed all those duplicate entries, indicating that somehow the message had posted. So I went into the control panel to remove the excess.
Delete, delete, delete ... "This entry does not exist, so you can't delete it" the software said. Nine times.
Today my control panel shows just one entry - the public version of the blog shows nine. And there's nothing to delete.
Shucks Grasshopper! Chill out! And prepare to ride again!
(But I will make sure I copy this before I hit the publish button today!)

Cosmetic surgery cost is attracting baby boomers, who see these procedures as a viable option.
As Dan Goldstein points out, baby boomers are increasingly seeking to hold onto youth through cosmetic surgery procedures.
In fact, more than 8.7 million procedures were performed on people last year in the US alone, mainly to manage signs of aging or enhance their appearance.
“Society is certainly entranced with the idea of holding on to a youthful look as long as possible,” said Dr. Ronald Downs, of The Centre, P.C in Indiana.
Read on to find out why many people say they feel better when they look better, regardless of

Brown Paper Pampering?
I've been keeping my eye on a day spa that opened near where I live recently.
Lots of mystique and curiosity while it was being shop-fitted, lots of delays to pique the interest, lots of wondering ...
But now it's open. And it's the plainest, most brown-paper-wrapping hole in the wall you could ever hope to see.
The black plastic hiding the building work was far more intriquing.
Why? Is this some new fashion? The 'anti-pampering pampering'?
Sure has no attraction to me. Even the one customer I saw sitting in the goldfish bowl waiting room looked about to nod off - or expire.
Any thoughts?
Later hair removal - more properly known as laser hair removal - is a long-term option.
It can also be a bigger buzz than many people expect!
A common comment after the 5 to 6 weekly treatments usually involved is along the lines of:
"It feels like a splash of hot oil or a pin prick. Over and over again. There's also a disturbing zapping noise, like a bug zapper."
Followed by: "Despite the pain, I'm thrilled I had it done."
