Supernatural Botanicals

Bristol Palin has been making the Internet rounds these days with her new face.  At 20 years old, it seemed a facelift was improbable.  However, it was clearly evident that something different was going on with her face.

Bristol has addressed the issue by stating she didn’t have plastic surgery, but rather corrective jaw surgery.  Feeling that her former jaw alignment made her chin appear round, her new jaw surgery aligned her jaw correctly, and made her chin much more pronounced.

Bristol says she loves her new face, claiming it makes her look older, and has less appearance of the baby chub in her face.  This is an example of very good “work”.  It’s not overly pronounced , and truly does give her face a symmetrical look.  Just when I thought this was the hottest thing in Alaska, Miss Palin makes us think twice.  Very nicely done, girlfriend.

“Seven years ago, I had never heard of Botox. My dermatologist was saying, ‘You should try it.’  He injected my forehead, hit a nerve, and created a huge hematoma.  The nerve has been dead ever since. It affected the muscle in my right eye, so my eye has started to droop a little bit.”  Dana Delaney on her Botox nightmare.

Book Review:  Rinnavation, Getting Your Best Life Ever.

Author:  Lisa Rinna. 

Talk about a pleasant surprise….Lisa Rinna’s book has me surprised!  In Lisa’s new book, Rinnavation, she shares with us advice she’s learned over the years from celebrity stylists and celebrity hair and makeup artists.  She also shares secrets on diet, exercise, beauty, even sex! 

She shares a lot of her life with us in her book, to include her delicious husband, Harry Hamlin, and her two beautiful daughters.  And for the record, she shares lots, and I mean lots, of sexual tricks in the bedroom she and Harry have.   I love that spice about Lisa. 

Another discovery is that Lisa is deep…spiritually, emotionally, sexually, etc.  Beyond the blatant beauty she exudes (and such good hair), girlfriend is a self-help junkie and for that reason alone, one could love her!  When a person reveals their card-carrying membership of the “Self-Help-Club”, you feel they are part of a society that few understand. 

Self-help lovers are continually seeking excellence.  They continually seek making the world a better place to live in for themselves and others.  They continually strive to be more….to create more, to produce abundance.  And they practice being happy beings.  It’s an amazing secret-society, of sorts, that makes you feel more connected to one another.  It’s an unwritten understanding between people who “get” the self-help genre, and those who don’t.

Lisa delves into her personal life and her beauty and fitness routines.  She gives us the skinny on how she looks so darn good all the time.  She even explains the lips…silicone!  She explains the ambition….The Secret and the Power of Positive Thinking.   She explains the happiness….Great sex life with Harry.  She explains the body….fitness-fiend.  She explains the boobs…plastic surgery. 

In summary, Lisa tells you how to get your best life ever.  The basic premise of it is, and always has been, exercise, eating well, big thinking, loving your life, and continual learning.   

Five stars! 

Smoothing the natural lines of one’s face, filling it with Botox, has become one trend that’s not about to go away any time soon.   Women (and men) are scheduling their Botox appointments at regular intervals, much as they would their teeth cleanings. 

   It’s fairly safe to say that the majority of Hollywood has had their face injected with Botox.  Not everyone in Hollywood agrees, though.  In a recent Harper’s Bazaar UK interview, actress Rachel Weisz said “It (Botox) should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen.  Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”

   One of the most notorious Botox-lovers in Hollywood is Nicole Kidman.  Nicole takes a lot of heat in the press, claiming she’s practically expressionless as this point.  They claim her face is beginning to look unnatural at this point.  Do you agree? 

  There are, however, very good examples of where a little Botox can do a world of good.  Take fashion designer Rachel Zoe, for example.  Rachel’s skin was prematurely wrinkling, especially in her forehead area, from what I suspect is sun damage and smoking.  In Rachel’s case, it smoothed the lines out in her forehead and turned the clock back on her appearance.  Rachel’s end result has taken many years off of her face and Botox, in her case, was quite beneficial.
