Plastic surgery

Listed as cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery. It seems that more people are considering plastic surgery these days.

I am not pointing the finger but for some it is a sport, others sneak in and out while sadly a minimum will go to the land of no return. In my opinion, plastic surgery is "fake", "generic" and at the same time a life saver.

Fake: when plastic surgery is made to deceive in the quest of perfection or done to the extent of seeing the recovered patient has a "frozen face" or "doll face" absolutely no expression.

Generic: Again to my view is when done at such repetition that ones body is continuously metamorphosing.

Reconstructive plastic surgery made possible for burned victims or any other legitimate reason or reasons that would enable such person to function positively and with out being seen as the odd one.

Plastic surgery does make wonders.

Fake

Fake, is seen as unreal. One the other hand generic, is not fake but a version of the genuine or so called brand-name. I remember when attending maternity class having to handle a doll. Which was a fake baby.

Sometimes those fake babies can be fed, have diaper changed and so one it is like having a real baby to take care of. They can be challenging because those fake babies can cry just like the genuine ones.

I wonder if it would help society for an Organization to be formed and it's main purpose would be to screen potential parents by giving them a fake baby for a while.

Yes, to many people out there are making babies but when the get go gets rough they want babies to be returned to sender. But, since there is no receiver these parents result into terminating those kids lives.

Prosthetics

Beside the generic prescriptions drugs and the food items which can help the pocket. I find prosthetics are the benefactors of our daily lives.

Invented back in 1861 by Mr. James E. Hanger whom became the first amputee of the Civil War. Through out the years prosthetics have gone beyond imagination. Yes, prosthetics have given people a reason to hold on to their dreams and capture their independence back. Since prosthetics have grown wild, they are made to accommodate your gender, complexion and above all, your life style. I am talking about non-shattered Olympics dreams, being able to go back to work, and so on. Some prosthetics look like the genuine things that at times only the carriers or hosts can tell.

Only your financial state will limit your wanting when it comes to prosthetics.

Nails

You will think that I am a little extreme. But, I see fake nails as "generic nails" , it is another vanity most women will go for. At most hair salons or spas you will spot some of us and it is one appointment that will be kept.


First, there use to be the glued on nails, then came the gel nails along side the acrylic nails. I am one of those whom does not possess any of those luxuries.

I still don't know if I will wear any of them on day. Looks like these "fake nails" or nails enhancements are very high maintenance and that is a commitment that I am not ready to make.

Hair extensions

Hair extensions are widely popular these days. They are spread to a wide variety of people in both sexes daily lives. Now, you can get the latest technique's in hair extensions ranging from Do-it-yourself hair extension kits to adhesives & bonding, removers & needles, spools of thread to all the styling aids, sprays, conditioners, & shampoo's. Shopping around is recommended before you commit your time and money, specially your money because you will be out of luck if your packaging's seal is rupture. Hair extensions come not only in different length but shapes, sizes, styles and colors. You can also choose to wear human hair extensions or synthetic ones.

Apparently, hair extensions is a booming market. What ever your reason/s might be vanity or necessity only your budget can reason with you.

Cheers to your beauty!

Generic electronics

Generally, generic electronics will always be cost effective. They often will be less reliable.

How to weigh the balance when it comes to purchasing generic electronics?

The manufacturers use poor materials; listed as plastic cording and other crucial components critical to the success and overall performance of such product. Theses technical steps will cause your generic electronics their durability. Product guarantees or warranties are unlikely because those manufacturers do not stand behind these generic electronics. All these mishaps will cost you the quality of that generic electronics at hand.

As customer it is very crucial to spend your hard earned money wisely. Unlike food items, which can be pulled off shelves by the Food Inspectors, generic electronics manufacturers will have to receive the same recall order by the Fire Inspectors only if their use have caused major fire hazard at more occasions.

Do make your research before acquiring any generic electronics.


Before the CHEAP becomes EXPENSIVE!

Generic Food items

Have you ever wondered about generic food items on the supermarket's shelves? Or, the preferred Store CEO expression: "Store Brand" They sometimes have their Logos on the packaging.

There are food processing plants out there specialized on these generic food items. Did you also know that generic food items are found to have the quality and nutritional values equal to their national brand counterparts? The Private Label Manufacturers Association also made a study which found One in Five products purchased in grocery outlets to be generic food items? No wonder their $s are soaring. Generic food items have earned their rightful shelf space next to the national brand products.

On the other hand, some generic food items may be better than others. It all depends on personal tastes or preference. If you do follow a budget it would be wise to consider buying generic food items or if you did not have, take or make the time off your busy life schedule to clip coupons or as it happened to me over and over again holding on expired coupons.

Generic drugs are as strong

I read the reason why that generic drugs are cheaper is because the manufacturers have not had the expenses of developing it. Also, generic drugs are called so because the dosage, the quality, the strength, the performance characteristics and intended use are all comparable to the brand-name or so called "innovator".

Generic drugs do not take longer to work as some people may think. Looks like sometimes, generic drugs have different colors, flavours and combinations of inactive ingredients than the original medication.

Latest data from IMS Health, an organization that provides global market intelligence to the pharmaceutical and health care sectors, indicates generic drugs are now dispensed in just over half of all prescriptions in Canada. Folks, the way the market is now getting generic drugs can help you save a few dollars.

Do It!

Generic prescription drugs

Generic prescription drugs are copies that is the same as a brand-name drug. Generic prescription drugs manufactures use the same active ingredients, they have the same side effects as the brand-name ones.

Generic prescription drugs need to have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as the brand-name. Generic prescription drugs are as effective as the brand-name but much cheaper.

As soon as new drugs are developed they are under patent protection. The patent protects the investment, research, development, marketing and promotion. Once the patent expires other drug companies can introduce competitive generic version. Do keep in mind that not all brand-name have a Generic prescription drugs competitions. The best way for you to know about Generic prescription drugs is to ask your physician, pharmacist and your insurance.

until next time :)

Look around you

Look close and you will see Generic all around you. But, what gives Generic it's name? Or, should we ask ourselves: What differentiates Generic from brand-name? Is Generic good or bad for us?

Generic items do contain the same active ingredients then their counterparts. No matter what you, will see Generic either on or over the counters.

Don't touch that dial!
