Debenhams Reveals Women Remain 'Age Defiant' Till their Seventies and Beyond

London, England (PRWEB) January 12, 2011

Debenhams has revealed that image-conscious women don't 'dress their age' until they are 70 years old.

According to new research carried out by the retailer, an overwhelming 89% of women aspire to dress younger than their years with 55% citing 70 as the age they felt they would be, or had been happy to dress their age.

However, 45% of women said that their seventies would be no barrier to dressing and looking younger.

Debenhams asked customers if they had ever dressed their age following revelations from personal shoppers that 95% of female clients aim to look more youthful.

Carie Barkhuizen, Spokesperson for Debenhams said: "You only have to look at celebrity examples like Elle Macpherson and Sophia Loren to see that women are looking younger than ever.

"So it's no surprise that our customers are also dressing for how they feel, rather than what it says on their drivers licence - and we want to encourage them.

"Thanks to the access women have to fashion and beauty advice, it's now much easier to project a younger look than ever before."

However, it's not always about looking younger. Over 70% of women said they styled themselves to look older in their teens to impress older boys or get into pubs and bars.

Women's twenties also emerged as a decade for dressing older, with nearly 80% giving career progression as the reason.

Most women felt that their thirties and forties were torn between dressing frumpier when adjusting to demands of babies and small children and a growing concern with looking younger.

Over 50% said they started to dress younger in their thirties and 90% admitted they had started to dress younger by their mid-forties.

One 80 year old participant said that her fashion strategy was still to look young and trendy.

Alain Mehada, Debenhams Personal Shopper said: "Age defiance is about dressing for your shape and size, rather than dressing like a 20 year old. Wearing clothes that suit your body will make you feel confident and instantly take years off."

The top five items suggested by customers for feeling and looking younger were; well-fitted, supportive underwear, such as shapewear (http://www.debenhams.com/lingerie/shapewear-control-lingerie), trendy accessories, high heels, fitted jackets and contemporary make-up (http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/make-up).

?

In stark contrast, only 12% of men said they had ever thought about dressing to look younger.

Now More Than Ever, Helping Patients Reach Their Goals Can Help You Reach Yours

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 13, 2011

Cosmetic procedures such as whitening don?t always enjoy the most stellar reputation in the dental industry. Many people?and this includes many practice owners?conjure images of wealthy Hollywood elites or spoiled housewives types when you mention cosmetic whitening. Hopefully you don?t share in this mindset. Because in reality, cosmetic whitening is one of the most simple, most cost effective and most dramatic ways you can help improve the lives of your patients. And in doing so, it can help you reach many of the practice growth goals you?ve established for yourself.

?Just as braces have become a symbol of status among today?s youth, white, healthy looking teeth convey a similar standing among the adult population,? says Brad Stevens of Atlanta based Whiter Image. ?Research bears this out. A survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reveals that 99.7% of the adult population believe a smile is ?an important social asset.? We couldn?t agree more. This is why we believe that any successful whitening products must be effective and affordable.?

Digging a little deeper reveals tangible reasons why smiles matter.

According to research from Reuters and the Washington Post, more than one billion dollars were spent on online dating in 2010. Which in-and-of itself is impressive. But when you couple that with AACD research that shows that 96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to members of the opposite sex, it offers you a glimpse of what could be.

?People are willing to pay to find companionship, and one of the most universally agreed upon indicators of beauty and attractiveness is the smile. Cosmetic whitening presents you with the opportunity to help your patients improve their odds in what has become a billion dollar bazaar of online love. And remember, this is only the online component to dating. Dating or not, everyone enjoys the benefits of a beautiful smile,? said Stevens.

While helping people find their perfect match is an obvious benefit to teeth whitening, there is another, more pragmatic benefit people can gain from whitening.

?The AACD study also revealed that 74% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person?s chances for career success,? said Stevens. ?At a time when so many Americans are switching careers, job hunting or even looking to reenter the job market, it?s obvious that the practice that offers an affordable and easy whitening option has the opportunity to not only better serve their patient base, but help empower people with a genuine sense of confidence. In such a competitive job market, this self-assurance can mean a world of difference.?

Whiter Image is best known for their duo of portable whitening products. The Chic-Flic Teeth Whitening & Lip Gloss Plumper Pen, an on-the-go solution that delivers a premium strength whitening formula with anywhere convenience, and the Whiter Image Teeth Whitening Pen is a unisex offering that delivers a proprietary teeth whitening formulation designed to meet the needs to the on-the-run consumer.

?Whether they?re tucked away for a first date, or packed in your briefcase for a pre-interview whitening, both of these products deliver a whitening procedure that will help people look better and feel more confident,? added Stevens. ?And in doing so, they can help a practice feel great about the service they?re providing for their patient while growing their bottom line.?

Whiter Image is a leader in the teeth whitening industry. They distribute whitening systems and retail products to dental practices both domestic and internationally. The company has a reputation for outstanding results, affordable products and unsurpassed customer support. You can view their complete line at http://www.whiterimagedental.com.

Lawyers on the Product Recall Team at Shrader & Associates Continue Their Investigation Into the Bacterial Contamination at the Simply Thick, LLC Manufacturing Plant

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 30, 2011

A series of SimplyThick? thickening gel products that were manufactured at Thermo Pac, LLC?s food processing plant in Stone Mountain, Georgia were the subject of a voluntary recall after the company was advised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Thermo Pac?s failure to file for a scheduled process designed to make sure harmful bacteria are destroyed during the manufacturing process. The Simply Thick recall was first publicized in this May FDA report.

Shrader & Associates believes that Simply Thick is conducting its own investigation in an attempt to limit their liability with respect to children who are sick. One source tells Shrader & Associates that representatives from Simply Thick are calling consumers who have purchased the product asking if their children are healthy and if not, what symptoms the children do have. These representatives are also asking if these consumers are seeking legal advice or if they have hired an attorney. ?These families are under no obligation to answer questions or even speak with representatives of SimplyThick?,? said Ross Stomel, the Partner at Shrader & Associates who is heading up the Product Recall Team. ?This company is making healthy kids sick and sick kids even sicker.?

Simply Thick is a brand name of a thickening agent used to assist people, especially young children, with swallowing difficulties. Simply Thick used for infants and premature babies is being mixed with breast milk or formula. However, Simply Thick is also used by families with children who have swallowing difficulty at varying ages. The independent investigation that Shrader & Associates has been conducting is showing that children as old as 5 years of age have developed issues similar to those of infants and premature babies while on a feeding regimen that included Simply Thick.

The Product Recall Team at Shrader & Associates strongly urges anyone still using Simply Thick to discontinue use of the product and contact their physician immediately. The current situation involving Simply Thick is resulting in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in babies. However, it is becoming apparent that the bacterial contaminants are affecting older children as well. Further, parents and health care providers are urged to contact the FDA?s MedWatch and Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting program should they become aware of any necrotizing enterocolitis symptoms or Simply Thick side effects.

If your child, or a child you know has been diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), has had surgery to repair damage to their intestines or colon, has had a bowel resection, has had reoccurring bacterial infections in their abdomen or gastrointestinal tract, has experienced any extreme bowel problems, or other symptoms that can be found at http://www.shraderlaw.com/simplythick-lawsuit-consultation/ please seek legal advice immediately.

Choosing a lawyer is a personal decision and should not be taken lightly. The litigation process is lengthy and sometimes overwhelming. Shrader & Associates treats each client as an individual and is committed to helping families affected by Simply Thick.

Complete Medical Educators, Inc. Offers Life Saving Courses for Families Seeking To Enrich the Health and Safety of Their Children

Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 14, 2011

Many parents spend countless hours preparing and researching the best ways to raise their children. It all starts before they are even born with researching the best car seat and reading a multitude of books on healthy sleeping habits, the most nutritious formula and baby food, and baby proofing the house. It continues with joining mommy and me groups to communicate with other parents how to encourage good learning habits and when to discipline. Even more hours are spent trying to get your children into the best schools. However, very few parents take the small amount of time to learn how to handle an emergency. Most parents will call their pediatrician, call 911 immediately, or go directly to the emergency room. With most emergencies, treatment can begin at home with proper First Aid and CPR training.

For instance, according to Complete Medical Educators, Inc.?s Physician Advisor, Carl Bonnett, M.D., ?Children frequently fall and injure an extremity while playing. Parents faced with a screaming child holding an injured extremity often ask themselves ?is it broken or are they just being dramatic?? A quick screening that parents can do is to compare the injured extremity to the other side. If there is an obvious difference on visual inspection then an ER visit is in order. If there is no difference then usually a brief period of observation (~30 minutes) can be tried. Help the child inside to elevate the extremity and place an ice pack on the area for 15 minutes or so. If there is a significant improvement and the child is able to regain near-normal function then usually a 24 hour observation period is appropriate. If there is any concern regarding the child?s ability to function, a quick x-ray in the ER is easy to do. The radiation dose from a plain x-ray is relatively minimal compared to a CT.?

This is only one example of what parents can learn from an in depth First Aid and CPR course at Complete Medical Educators, Inc. According to Allisa Bell, ?We offer several courses geared for parents at a time convenient for them and their busy schedules.? So, when you are trying to think of the next best thing to get for your own child or maybe the family expecting a child, give them the gift of health and safety; become trained in First Aid and CPR.
