The original group of young women who started this fashion trend are approaching an age where pregnancy is a real possibility. No longer are they in their teens and twenties, but are now adults. One thing they haven’t outgrown, however, is their sexy belly button rings.

Pregnancy belly button rings come in a variety of styles, but are generally made from a plastic-like material, rather than a metallic one. They can either be the traditional length, just plastic, or they can be more flexible and giving. A special sterile wire called PTFE that is nickel free and easily sterilized. A pregnancy belly ring comes with 2″ to 2 1/2″ of wire and two balls, one for each end.

The wire is self threading and will automatically hold the ball in place. Stores and websites offer so many diverse styles of belly button rings that they will surely meet the needs of every expectant mother. These mom belly rings come with all sorts of balls from UV to titanium. Some even feature dangling parts that say things like “It’s a Boy” (or girl) or have baby decorations.

Pregnancy is an exciting time in a mother’s life and it’s the beginning of a new lifestyle. This doesn’t mean that a mom has to give up a piercing she’s had for many years, though. Pregnancy belly button rings aren’t especially expensive and they correspond with the prices of belly button rings of similar style and quality.

There are many things to consider before making a major hair style change.  Although spontaneity seems like a good idea when for the fourth day in a row we can’t get our hair to do anything right and are forced to leave the house with a hat or a pony-tail, overall it’s best to do some planning and consideration before chopping off those locks.

First, consider what you currently don’t like about your hair cut.  Is it too long?  Too layered?  Too top-heavy?  Too dark?  Too light?  Too something else?  Just plain awful?  Whatever your situation may be, keep in mind the specific things you want to change, before you just waltz into a random salon somewhere.

The most important thing to consider when switching your hair style, is finding a stylist that you like and trust.  Because you like and trust your stylist, take his or her word for it when he/she tells you that the hairstyle you’ve selected simply will not work on your hair.  Listen to suggestions of how you might slightly change it to work better with your current cut or type of hair.

All in all, when you decide to have a drastic hairstyle change, wait awhile before you actually go through with it.  This will give you time to consider what you’ve decided to do and make sure that you don’t regret it a few days later.   Trust your stylist and consider all of you options.  You don’t want to end up with a flash-back of the perm/bangs/mushroom cut days.

Wen Haircare Products

I live in a climate that constantly wreaks havoc on my hair!  It’s naturally dry and a little frizzy, but the cold winters and windy springs do nothing to help.  It looks so lifeless and dull all the time that I had pretty much accepted my fate of wearing a pony tail every day because there was nothing  else I could do.

My sister has hair very much like mine and she has similar problems.  She has been telling me for months to try this new “miracle” product she found.  My sister is kind of a sucker (sorry sis!) for these kinds of things, so I had ignored her.  But then I saw her at our Mom’s birthday party a couple of weeks ago and there was absolutely no denying that she had found hair care that works.

It’s called Wen Haircare by Chaz Dean and it’s the first hair care system that addresses the problem at its roots…literally.  It’s a cleansing system, not just a product you put in to style.  It doesn’t just perk up your hair for a day, it really changes the quality and look of your hair.  I have since purchased the Wen system online and I love it. it was less than $30 for the entire hair care system and they have a 60 day money back guarantee.  I recommend this product to anyone!

Ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, reportedly filed for full custody of the couples twins and sextuplets saying that Kate is a absentee mother.  She is famous for claiming that her kids are her life and that they motivate everything she does…but one does have to wonder where the kids are at while she’s (trying to) learn the fox trot, tango and whatever else.

What do you think of Jon, Kate and the whole Gosselin debacle?
