Time to give up on whitening toothpastes?

Despite having lots of experience in sales and marketing and therefore knowing exactly how things work, I’ve been stuck in the marketing machine for years. For the past decade, I’ve been purchasing “whitening” toothpastes - the foaming crystals, the blue strips of cleanliness, added ingredients, this and that - and I continue, to this day, to do so, knowing full well that it’s never made a bit of difference for my teeth.

I don’t even entertain the possibility that the whitening toothpaste has canceled anything out - i.e. that I’d be much worse without it. I know I wouldn’t. Moreso, I’m not your average adult; I don’t drink a lot of coffee, I don’t smoke, and sugar is probably my only weakness. So, why the crutch? Read the rest of this entry »

Yoga is the neo-yuppie craze that’s found its way into mainstream American gyms - and homes - over the past several years. It’s got a certain social status attached to it now; you can almost picture the big name celebrities going to their yoga and pilates classes, right? Unfortunately, this leads to a public perception that yoga isn’t for everyone, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Hatha yoga - the most popular - is marketed by gyms as a fitness routine and one of the less cerebral forms on offer. You don’t need to assemble an altar to practice it; you just need to buy a mat and some really cool yoga pants. Read the rest of this entry »

Plastic surgery revisions rising?

FOXNews published a health article in January titled “Plastic Surgery Regret on the Rise, Fueling ‘Revision’ Practices”. In typical Fox fashion, the article was rather alarmist. The blurb featured one plastic surgery horror story from a woman who was unhappy after two nose jobs, followed by a quote from respected surgeon Andrew Jacono stating that 1 in 3 surgical procedures is a revision.

Can this be right? Or is there a better explanation for all the revisions going on in American operating rooms?

Here are three practical reasons we propose that may explain the “1 in 3″ statistic - and only one of them is a fear mongering idea: Read the rest of this entry »
