Everyone’s going to rehab lately

by

There are so many celebrities these days that seem to have drug and alcohol abuse problems isn’t there? I mean we’ve recently heard about Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Keith Urban and so many more. It’s endless.

I suppose drug and alcohol problems have always been just as common with celebrities as it has been with regular every day people. It just seems so shocking when we hear about a star who has a problem because we’ve often only heard good things about them up to that point because they have good PR people who manage to keep some of the bad stuff they get involved in out of the press.

Luckily normal non famous folks don’t have the pressures of fame and the media to deal with. We do still have a lot of stresses on our lives and I believe that is why so many people fall into relying on drugs or alcohol to take some of those stresses away.

Luckily, a lot of people wise up – celebrity or normal people, and seek out drug addiction treatment when they realize they have a problem. Sometimes they need a loving push from friends and relatives of course.

I suppose I’m lucky that I’ve never had to deal with those personal demons, but I am a nurse by profession and I’ve certainly been one of the people recommending that those with addiction problems seek out treatment at facilities such as Stone Hawk.

Stone Hawk is a rehabilitation facility in Michigan. It appears to be a spacious and lovely facility near a lake. A nice peaceful setting. Just the type of place that someone battling an addiction needs to go to in order to get away from temptation.

Stone Hawk has staff that are qualified to assist those with drug and alcohol addictions. They offer a number of different rehab treatments and therapies. People that have used the services of Stone Hawk have had great success with their rehabilitation and have actually written testimonials which you can read on the Stone Hawk site.

If you know someone who is battling an addiction problem or perhaps if you yourself have a problem, please take a look at the Stone Hawk website. They have a number of different articles and resources on the site, and as I said their rehab treatment program looks to be quite good.





Alcohol and Drug addictions problems on the rise?

by

It seems the that the more you listen to the news, particularly celebrity related news, the more you hear about people with drug and alcohol addiction problems. Just how many stars have we heard about just this year alone who have had blowouts and problems? Or who’ve signed themselves into rehab facilities?

Unfortunately what’s been happening in the world of celebrities is a reflection of what’s been happening in general society. There are lots of normal people who have developed dependencies on drugs and alcohol too.

If you think that someone you care about, or perhaps that you yourself might have a problem it might be time to seek Drug Treatment in a rehab facility such as The Watershed.

They have three facilities across the US staffed with experienced professionals. The website also has a number of resources. One of the resources is a quiz that will help you determine if you might have a problem. Other resources and articles are in place to help both those with addiction problems and to help their family and friends who are also affected when the person they care about develops a drug or alcohol dependency problem.

Scott Weilands wife blames a medication imbalance for her blowout

by

scott_weiland180.jpg Scott Weiland, lead singer for Velvet Revolver and Stone Temple Pilots, had a bit of domestic issue over the weekend. His wife, suffering from a bipolar disorder, blames an imbalance in her medication for her blowout over the weekend and subsequent arrest.

“For lack of a better expression I was unstable and just ‘lost it,’ ” Mary Weiland, 41, said in a statement Wednesday.

After allegedly torching $10,000 worth of Scott’s menswear outside of their California home on Saturday, Mary Weiland was arrest and booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism.

“The weekend’s difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder,” Mary Weiland says. “Scott was simply trying to help calm me down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way.”

Weiland and his wife have now returned home to care for their children who did not witness the altercation as they had been staying with a family members on the night in question.

“Scott and I are very involved in our children’s lives on a daily basis and we love them unconditionally,” says Mary Weiland.

“After nearly seven years of marriage,” says Mary Weiland, “I am truly grateful to have a loving husband, drug-free for 3 1/2 years now, who is able to care for me during this challenging time.”

The Weilands are in the process of moving to Los Angeles from their Toluca lake home. The couple still hopes to make the move together.

GHD Flat Iron Styler – Must have hair product of the year

by

They say that versatility is the spice of life, and like most women I like to change my look every now and then. I have a natural wave to my hair and I often get compliments on how nice it looks, but sometimes those waves just drive me nuts. My hair tends to get even wavier the longer it gets, or if there’s the tiniest bit of humidity around.

Having said this I know that a lot of women with some wave to their hair feel the same way that I do. Occasionally coveting those with straight hair, just as they admire our natural waves. Isn’t is so true that the grass is always greener on the other side?

Luckily I’ve found a product that I think I might try out, and I’m sure that others with wavy or curly hair might want to purchase this new product as well. It’s a flat Iron, and the new GHD Styler for just £109 at Beautysleuth. This new generation GHD styler is said to be the must have hair product of the year.

I’ve never used a flat Iron before, but since this one won the 2007 InStyle Best Beauty Buy award, it must be a quality flat Iron. I might as well start out with the best.

Find a beauty salon that is right for you

by

If you’re fed up with your hair stylist, or would like to try a new salon in your area I’ve found just the site for you. The name of the site is perfect as it’s called “Find Beauty Salons”. The website lists beauty salons in a number of cities.

You can use Find Beauty Salons to find a new beauty salon or spa in your area, or you can help them build their site by writing your opinion of salons that are already listed on the site, or you can even submit a new Beauty salon or spa to be added to the sites growing directory.

I really like the article “10 things to consider when choosing a salon” as it goes into detailed explanations of the most important things to consider when you are trying to decide whether to give a new salon your business. Of course, your answers to the various points will vary as choosing a beauty salon is extremely subjective. I personally like to take my business to salons that have been recommended by others, ones that are busy but not too loud and trendy … whereas others might like the very trendy very busy salons.

Here’s a list of just a few things to consider when choosing a new salon:

  • • What do I know about this salon or stylist? Ask friends and co-workers and do a search on the internet.
  • • Does this salon offer services that I would like?
  • • Is the person who I spoke with friendly? Does the communication style and method of this salon meet my needs?
  • • Does this stylist seem too busy? Will I feel rushed?
  • • Are these services reasonably priced for my budget? If these costs seem high am I ready and willing to splurge for the right salon?

Read the full article for a more in depth view on how to select a salon that is right for you.

I think I’ll spend some time this evening submitting a few of the salons that I’ve been to and that I’ve really liked. Why don’t you take a moment to view the listings and add some new salons as well?
