steamroller 1It must be spring, the doctor just made an appointment for me to have my annual mammogram. Now, I don’t know about you, but it is not my favorite procedure. I thought you might enjoy these mammogram preparations.

Practice For Your Mammogram

Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there’s no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam, and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared. And you can do this right in your own home! 

Exercise 1:  Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds (while you hold your breath). Repeat again, in case the first time wasn’t effective enough.

          Accentuating The Positive

Since I have worked in the fashion and image business, I have noticed as women, we often struggle with our body image. I believe women and teens struggle with these issues because of the Celebrity and media culture that they face dailyWe are confronted with a narrow view of what is beautiful, inspiring, intelligent, kind and perfect.

When it comes to looks and physical appearance we are our toughest critics. Over the years I have seen how women become excessively concerned with the way they look and their appearance striving for perfection. The truth is no one is perfect.  If each of us had a stylist like the famous, or the software which print media uses to airbrush pictures, erase the wrinkles and make us taller and thinner would we like our body image any better?

“Blonde Logic”

They argued all the way there about how to pronounce the name of the town.  Finally they stopped for lunch.  After getting their food, one of the blondes said to the cashier, “Can you settle an argument for us? Very slowly, tell us where we are.” The cashier leaned over the counter and said “Buuurrrrrr-Gerrrrrr Kiiiinnnnnggg”.
