			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Playboy </em>model <strong>Kendra Wilkinson</strong> wants her <strong>taut body back</strong>. After giving birth to her son Hank Baskett IV last Decembet she already lost some pounds but still thinks she has an aim to go to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/playboy-model-kendra-wilkinson-wants-her-toned-up-body-back.jpg" alt="Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson wants her toned up body back" /></p>
<p>She said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was so used to being fit and skinny. I never had to lose weight until now. I want my muscle back &#8211; I don&#8217;t want anything jiggling. Cardio for me is number one. I need the cardio because I can tone my body, but I gotta burn the fat off!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Kendra Wilkinson got used to have fit body and was kind of shocked of how her body shape changed during pregnancy.</p>
<p>She told <em>People</em> magazine:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My curves shocked me big-time. It was a whole other woman I was looking at in the mirror.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The blond beauty also added:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;About two months ago, I stopped making excuses. It&#8217;s time to get out there and really bust my a*s like I used to.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In a bid of getting her toned up figure back, Kendra now does workouts at the gym and has a healthier <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/diet/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Diet">diet</a>. Though the <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/diet/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Diet">diet</a> is quite strange as it includes grilled chicken and chews gum to curb her food cravings. What do you think of her <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/diet/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Diet">diet</a>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mom-of-three Victoria Beckham is to prepare her organism for a baby again. The Posh who has already have three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and five-year-old Cruz, with her soccer superstar husband David, wants to have a daughter now.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6921" title="Victoria and David Beckham want a baby girl" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Victoria-and-David-Beckham-want-a-baby-girl.jpg" alt="Victoria and David Beckham want a baby girl" width="450" height="468" /></p>
<p>It’s been a long-term dream to add a daughter to the family as she once mentioned that she could transmit all her outfits to the girl.</p>
<p>The 35-year-old pop-singer-turned-designer predominantly eats fresh fruit and vegetables and steamed fish to maintain her slender figure but recently she has been munching on pasta dishes, brown bread, rice and meals which include potatoes.</p>
<p>A source told <em>The Sun</em> newspaper:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s no secret Victoria and David want a little girl. She&#8217;s been told by docs her diet, though healthy, would not give her the best chance of conceiving, particularly in her 30s. Instead she has been advised to eat a lot more carbs and fatten up. She has agreed and David is over the moon.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Victoria has agreed to overhaul her diet to conceive again, but she won&#8217;t be gorging on any foods which are too calorie laden.</p>
<p>The source added:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She draws the line at junk food.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In February, it was reported that Victoria and David had agreed for the forth kid after her younger sister Louise announced she was expecting her fourth child.</p>
<p>A source close to the family said at the time:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Louise has just told everyone she is expecting and Vic has immediately become broody. She and David have always wanted a girl. He&#8217;d love more kids.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We are expecting to see a Little Vicky soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wife of Ireland and Celtic football star Robbie, Claudine Keane showed off her stunning body wearing a white two-piece just two month after giving birth to their son Robert.</p>
<p>The model and TV presenter insists she neither crash dieted nor hit the gym the moment she left the maternity ward last May.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6426" title="Claudine Keane1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Claudine-Keane1.jpg" alt="Claudine Keane1" width="450" height="567" /></p>
<p>Speaking to this week&#8217;s <em>Closer</em> magazine, she said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I was so overwhelmed with being a mum I didn’t have time to think about my figure. I certainly didn’t crash diet &#8211; it’s so dangerous to starve yourself at a time when you need all your energy and strength to look after your baby, breastfeed and recover from giving birth.”</p></blockquote>
<p>She adds:</p>
<blockquote><p>“My friends warned me not to get on the scales after the birth, as you are still filled with fluid for a long time afterwards and it’s not your real weight, so it’s not fair to put yourself through that. Like any woman, I’m self-critical.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6427" title="Claudine Keane and Robbie" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Claudine-Keane-and-Robbie.jpg" alt="Claudine Keane and Robbie" width="450" height="624" /></p>
<p>The 26-year-old former Miss Ireland, who has modelled since she was 15, admits there have been times when she’s actually wished she was curvier.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am sensitive to the fact some other women struggle more than me to stay slim. When I was a teenager I used to envy my friends who had curvy bodies. I felt embarrassed about my skinny legs and hips.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Claudine ate healthily and stayed active throughout her pregnancy with her son.</p>
<p>She says:</p>
<blockquote><p>“My gynaecologist told me I shouldn’t eat for two, but nor did I calorie-count. I ate slightly bigger portions of my usual diet to stop myself being tired, and made lots of fruit smoothies – not for my figure, but to make sure my baby would be healthy.”</p></blockquote>
<p>She used the products preventing her skin from stretch marks:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-6425"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>“I used a vat of Bio-Oil on my bump, which luckily warded off stretch marks.”</p></blockquote>
<p>She added:</p>
<blockquote><p>“When I first met Robbie at 18, I lived on junk food. I was young so I didn’t put on any weight, but being married to an athlete means I’ve learned to cook healthy meals. I stuck to this when I got pregnant. I sometimes have desserts and I have cake or chocolate every day, as life is for living – I just have a small portion.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6428" title="Claudine Keane" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Claudine-Keane.jpg" alt="Claudine Keane" width="450" height="583" /></p>
<p>After giving birth to her first child in a Dublin hospital in May last year, Claudine waited over six weeks before she started running short distances on the treadmill and doing gentle sit-ups twice a week.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Robbie advises me, although he never puts pressure on me to work out,” she says.</p></blockquote>
<p>Although Claudine is back in shape, she says her body isn’t entirely back to normal.</p>
<p>She laughs:</p>
<blockquote><p>“My hair still feels much flatter. Apparently, it gets thicker during pregnancy and then falls out after to <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/make-up/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Make up">make up</a> for lost time!”</p></blockquote>
<p>She denies the fact that her husband can cheat on her and she also denies that her slim figure and glamorous looks are a bid to keep hold of her man, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I make an effort because I like to feel good. It’s not to compete with the other girls. Robbie actually prefers me with no make-up and dressed down in Ugg boots and jeans!”</p></blockquote>
<p>Coming back to her career, Claudine has put having another baby on hold.</p>
<p>She says:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Robbie wants a huge family, but while I love being a mum and adore my baby, I’d like to wait and just enjoy being me again for a while.”</p></blockquote>
<p>That sounds wise!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/camila-alves/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Camila Alves">Camila Alves</a> looks so charming after giving birth to their daughter Vida one month ago. Her hair is long and she isn&#8217;t going to cut them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6331" title="Camila Alves" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Camila-Alves.jpg" alt="Camila Alves" width="450" height="598" /></p>
<p>Hosting the Bravo’s hair-styling show Shear Genius she shares the tips for new moms’ hair style:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Do not cut the hair,” the 28-year-old model says. “When you first have a baby and you’re pregnant, you’re hormonal and you’re going through all these changes. Your body’s not back to where it needs to be. The last thing you need if you have long hair is to have short hair. The last thing you need is to deal with something new. I would say to keep what you have and try to make the best of it. If you want to change your color, go for it, but don’t do anything dramatic. You don’t need anything drastic and dramatic after you go through something like that.”</p></blockquote>
<p>She talks on her fashion tips for body after baby:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Don’t try to do anything crazy,” she says. “Try to keep it basic. After you have a baby, you still have a little belly. Things are not back to normal yet. It takes some time for your body to go back to normal, so the flowy stuff and the layers really, really help, but also we’ve got Spanx.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6332" title="Camila Alves and her son Levi" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Camila-Alves-and-her-son-Levi.jpg" alt="Camila Alves and her son Levi" width="450" height="514" /></p>
<p>On hiding her bump early on:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I just found out I was pregnant,” she says. “I was actually sick during the whole time shooting, and I couldn’t tell anybody. People were like ‘Why is she drinking so much Club Soda on the set?’. And clothes started to not fit anymore. They were like, ‘What’s going on here?’ ”</p></blockquote>
<p>She added:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I couldn’t tell anybody. And it definitely did get tricky because the people in wardrobe would go, ‘Well, we fit this on you a week ago, and now it doesn’t fit you anymore.’ The flowy stuff definitely helped. Things that had layers on it. I’d say layers, but not heavy layers, because that makes you look bigger.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-6330"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6333" title="Camila Alves and Metthew McConaughey" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Camila-Alves-and-Metthew-McConaughey.jpg" alt="Camila Alves and Metthew McConaughey" width="450" height="547" /></p>
<p>On working out with long working hours and family:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Some of my days were 19-hour days. They’d either come to the set, or I’d see them early in the morning and kiss them when I got home – they were already in bed. It was definitely tricky to have the family and the show at the same time because the hours were long. But we worked it out.”</p></blockquote>
<p>On how she is balancing now with two babies and a boyfriend:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’m not even sure myself,” she laughs. “I have my mom here, who has been giving me a good hand, and I’m just trying to keep everything as smooth as I can. I love working. It’s part of my life. It’s what I like to do. We try and keep a good balance.”</p></blockquote>
<p>On her most precious moments:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Coming home with Vida and her meeting Levi,” she says. “That was a pretty neat moment.”</p></blockquote>
<p>On cutting Levi’s hair (their 18-month-old son):</p>
<blockquote><p>“We haven’t cut his hair yet,” she tells me, brushing off when they intend to take him for his first trip to the salon.</p></blockquote>
<p>On keeping hair natural and healthy:</p>
<blockquote><p>“As natural as possible,” she tells me. “I try to keep my hair as simple as I can, so it can do it’s own thing. I try to wash my hair once a week. People think you have to wash your hair all the time, but, actually, you need to let your hair produce its own oils and be healthy on its own. I try to not use a lot of chemicals.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6334" title="Camila Alves1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Camila-Alves1.jpg" alt="Camila Alves1" width="450" height="396" /></p>
<p>She adds:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I like to use Kerastase conditioner – the green one (I forget what the name is); Moroccanoil (the conditioner) – I really like that, and the oil itself. From the counter, I like Fructis. I like that out of the can. I love to wear my hair curly, like natural, but that’s not an everyday thing, it’s only when my hair decides that it would like to be curly.”</p></blockquote>
<p>On Matthew’s attitude about Camila’s work?</p>
<blockquote><p>“He was very supportive. Matthew is very supportive on everything. We are very supportive of each other on everything we do.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The supermodel Gisele Bundchen became a mom last year (December, 7). She prepared a lot for the delivery and she did her best when giving birth at her home surrounded by her mother, sport star husband Tom Brady and a midwife by her side.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6300" title="Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Gisele-Bundchen-and-Tom-Brady.jpg" alt="Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady" width="450" height="699" /></p>
<p>Four months after giving birth to son Benjamin, she has opened up about the eight-hour birth – saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>“My delivery was in a bath tub, in water,&#8217; said the 29-year-old &#8216;I wanted to have a home birth. I wanted to be very aware and present during the birth&#8230; I didn&#8217;t want to be drugged up. So I did a lot of preparation, I did yoga and meditation, so I managed to have a very tranquil birth at home.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Giving exclusive to Brazilian TV channel <em>Fantasticoshe</em> said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“It didn&#8217;t hurt in the slightest. The whole time my mind was focused in each contraction on the thought ‘my baby is closer to coming out’. It wasn’t like ‘this is so painful’. So I transformed that intense feeling into a hope of seeing him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Bundchen also says her son didn&#8217;t cry after being born and rested in her lap for a long time.</p>
<blockquote><p>“It&#8217;s wonderful,” she said. “Never in my life I thought I could love like this. You hear people talking about it, but you don&#8217;t know until it happens to you. I couldn&#8217;t be happier.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Benjamin is Gisele&#8217;s first child Tom’s second as he already has a 2-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A child birth is a very special moment for every woman that brings new feelings into the life along with emotional and physical changes. There are very few women who can undergo through their own body pregnancy changes with no worry.</p>
<p>And there is almost no a woman who doesn’t want to loose weight after birth. Unfortunately, young moms are inclined to misuse, by no means, the unhealthy ways of weight loss following the celebs example who look stunning after delivery.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5434" title="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth.jpg" alt="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth" width="450" height="362" /></a></p>
<p>Nature’s ruse</p>
<p>Pregnancy weight gaining is a pretty natural physical process. The organism prepares itself for the carrying of a pregnancy changing the endocrine profile. As a result of metabolic process modification there amassed some adipose tissue around the hips and stomach. It changes the appearance of woman no doubts brining the femininity to her.</p>
<p>But, this process of fat gaining can be increased a lot by the woman herself. There is an opinion that pregnant women should eat doubled portions to feed herself and the kid as well. But that’s the wrong approach to the healthy baby carrying. Physical processes are distributed in the way she needs small increase of taking calorie (maximum 500). But the attention should be paid first of all onto the rationalization of the meals than onto the calorie content.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5435" title="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth1.jpg" alt="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth1" width="450" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>Moreover, lots of women think that they should stay away from any physical training thus breaking all links with sport. It is well-grounded if there is some pathology of this period, but in general pregnant woman needs the adequate physical loading as it prepares the organism for the delivery and stimulates the metabolism and blood flow for both.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-5432"></span></p>
<p>So, these and some other reasons influence the body mass gain. The slight part of it goes away when giving birth, but the rest is left with woman – 20, 30 and even 40 lb. How can you manage with this situation?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5436" title="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth2.jpg" alt="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth2" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>In spite of everything a lot of women go on a strict diet. And sometimes, it’s the wrong one. Think, the excessive fat has been gathered for 9 months and it’s pretty unwise to think that you can loose it in a crack. There should be balanced and soothe weight loss if you are aimed at the health keeping.</p>
<p><strong>First of all</strong>, irrational – unbalanced diets are dangerous! The woman should restore herself for two months after the delivery – ordinary meals but not to torture instead.</p>
<p><strong>Secondly</strong>, such extreme diets can’t bring your previous weight back anyway but they can aggravate the situation – constant hunger leads to the “refrigerator syndrome”.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5437" title="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth3" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth3.jpg" alt="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth3" width="350" height="372" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Thirdly</strong>, simply don’t overeat! Widely spread myth: the amount of food enlarges the volume and quality of the breast milk. Balanced ration influences the content of the milk but not the huge piles of meals. By the way, prolactin is the hormone that promotes mother’s milk production. Some other hormones, including estrogens, and reflex nipples stimulation influence its secretion.</p>
<p><strong>Fourthly</strong>, there is a proved medical fact: a woman loses the weight during the period of feeding the baby due to the hormone rearrangements. Yes, she looses the weight instead of gaining it as it’s accepted to think. The conclusion, if you want to bring your before-pregnancy body back, burse your child.</p>
<p>It looks, it’s high time to say good buy to the misleading opinions that breastfeeding spoils the shape of the breast and there is no milk, than it won’t come. The main point is the right approach to lactation and breast care.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5438" title="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth4" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/How-to-Loose-Weight-after-Giving-Birth4.jpg" alt="How to Loose Weight after Giving Birth4" width="450" height="454" /></a></p>
<p>Pay your attention on to the physical trainings. There are lots of methods of toning up the muscles and tonus regeneration of the tired-of-pregnancy organism.</p>
<p>Physicians recommend starting the work out in 6-8 weeks after the natural delivery and 9-10 weeks after cesarean.</p>
<p>To be continued…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a> cannot be an excuse to look bad. On the contrary, you should show how beautiful you are. But be very careful when choosing cosmetic products.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/pregnant-woman2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3965" title="happy pregnant woman" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/pregnant-woman2.jpg" alt="happy pregnant woman" width="459" height="691" /></a></p>
<p>There are 5 main rules you should follow while you’re pregnant:</p>
<p><strong>1. Use as little foundation as it’s possible. </strong></p>
<p>During <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a> your skin is more sensitive. By refusing from toner and powder you’ll prevent your pores from blocking.</p>
<p>Use moisturizers with natural ingredients twice a day to make skin smooth and fresh-looking. It is very important to remember that skin is more prone to different allergies during <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>, that is why you should opt for cosmetics you have already tried and know it is good for you.<br />
Be especially careful with homemade products as these can cause allergies even more often.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-3964"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. Accentuate your eyes.</strong></p>
<p>If your eyes are too sensitive to mascara or you tend to rub them too often, try transparent gel mascara instead of usual one. Such mascara separates lashes well without leaving black spots on the skin.<br />
Instead of using too complicated makeup techniques, simply emphasize your eyes with eyeliner.</p>
<p><strong>3. Apply lip balm over the lipstick.</strong></p>
<p>To keep the lipstick bright when you have frequent meals apply lip balm over the lipstick when it is dry. By doing this you won’t need to paint your lips again, that is good because using too much of makeup is harmful.</p>
<p><strong>4. Use fresh tones of perfume</strong></p>
<p>As sense of smell is too sharp in expectant women try to use natural and fresh fragrances. Use body lotions instead of sprays.</p>
<p><strong>5. Do manicure</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">Pregnancy</a> affects nails as well as hair, teeth and bones negatively. That is why do manicure on the regular basis using polish that contains high amount of calcium. To prevent the occurrence of split nails make baths with sea salt regularly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Medicated makeup products</strong></p>
<p>Use these freely as they are safe for a baby and do penetrate too deep into your skin. In case you don’t take care of your skin by refusing to use makeup you’ll make your organism to use additional resources to keep your skin, hair and nails more or less healthy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Face </strong></p>
<p>Pigment spots on cheeks and forehead are a common problem a woman suffers during <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>. But it is possible to avoid by walking in the sun less.  Besides, there are a number of special whitening products.<br />
Products containing fruit and vegetable extracts can give good results. If you use some other products read the instruction carefully on the subject of using the given product during <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>.</p>
<p>Majority of whitening products contain harmful elements like mercury and bismuth and they are prohibited to use during <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Figure</strong></p>
<p>Fight with cellulite is useless during <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>. Your organism suffers hormonal changes and appearance of fat is inevitable. To add to this, many anti-cellulite products clear the body of chemical waste that makes your kidneys work more intensively. So, if you have problems with kidneys these products are for you to stay away. Use moisturizing products instead, they give good result.<br />
Instead of body milk use oil. It will help you to avoid stretch marks. To prevent the occurrence of stretch marks do massage and have contrast sprays. But the most effective way to prevent appearance of stretch marks is to use special products from the third month of your <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/pregnancy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Pregnancy">pregnancy</a>. Choose products of high quality only.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A smoking woman has become an everyday occurrence. Statistic figures are frightening! Tobacco smoking women do harm their own health and the health of their children as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3945" title="Surprises for Smoking Woman" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman.jpg" alt="Surprises for Smoking Woman" width="450" height="359" /></a></p>
<p>There are different motives causing smoking – someone try to overcome stress, someone smokes to keep the company, others draw inspiration from cigarettes. However, regardless of the reason that impelled women to start smoking, each of tobacco victims poison their organism and decrease the odds on being a healthy wife and mother.</p>
<p>Female organism is biologically stronger than male’s one, but smoking harms women much harder. We (I mean women) have smaller lungs volume, the speed of metabolic processes is higher thus the poisoning process goes faster.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Smoking and beauty</strong></p>
<p>Skin is the first pointer of the inveterate she-smoker.</p>
<p>What is smoking? It’s inhalation of preparation smoke (usually of vegetable origin), smouldering flow breathing into the air and aiming to saturate the organism with active substances containing in them by their sublimation and further suction into the lungs and breathing passages.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3946" title="Surprises for Smoking Woman2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman2.jpg" alt="Surprises for Smoking Woman2" width="450" height="516" /></a></p>
<p>Surface vessels get narrower as effected by nicotine, nourishment of epidermis cuts down – as a result the cigarettes lover acquires dark fading skin and dark under-eyes-circles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-3943"></span></p>
<p>Constant oxygen debt leads to untimely wrinkles. Hair becomes fragile and lifeless as the head skin dehydrates. Grey hair catch up the smokers much earlier and more plentifully than those who steer clear of it. Nails laminate and break easily. Their color is far from ideal in the majority of cases.</p>
<p>Teeth are an indicator of smoker’s experience. Sickly yellowness, unpleasant smell and problem gums – are the faithful friends of a chain smoker.</p>
<p>Enamel is damaged when inhaling tobacco smoke,  this leads to caries, stomatitis and gingivitis.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Smoking and PMS</strong></p>
<p>Scientists reported that female chain smokers are twice as much subject to premenstrual syndrome.  The results of the numerous studies proved that basic symptoms of PMT – pain in the small of the back, breast swelling, and pimples – are intensified in case the woman smokes tobacco.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3947" title="Surprises for Smoking Woman1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman1.jpg" alt="Surprises for Smoking Woman1" width="450" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Addiction to cigarettes leads to acute pains instead of restrained ones during PMS. The earlier a woman falls into smoking the bigger the risk of getting the most acute forms of PMT is. Negative consequences are revealed in a baby either (no matter if he has already been born or is just coming).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Smoking and maternity</strong></p>
<p>Cigarettes horribly affect ovums loading the program of their destruction. The odds to get pregnant shrank as well as child-bearing ability. Smoking is comparable with 1 ovum ablation. Tobacco can cause a period disturbance and childbearing age cutting.</p>
<p>The risk of various defects in children birth (with some congenital diseases) grows with every smoked cigarette. Bare statistics shows that miscarriage happens 25-30% frequently with smoking women and that probability of having stillborn baby quintuples. Toxicosis of pregnancy, feebleness of birth are just few possible complications.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3948" title="Surprises for Smoking Woman3" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/surprises-for-smoking-woman3.jpg" alt="Surprises for Smoking Woman3" width="450" height="448" /></a></p>
<p>Even if a woman gives up smoking right after she has revealed her pregnancy, there is still a high risk of congenital defects of a baby. According to medics, you need to get rid of this habit at least 1.5 years before you get pregnant because the organism can clear itself from deleterious substances during this period of time.</p>
<p>Take care of your health.</p>
