FootVDO-Update
Sexy Kana actually picked out that `Santa Girl` dress for our holiday shoot. We wanted to try something calm, peaceful and relaxing - so we settled on pouring a few bottles of chocolate syrup plus a few buckets of pink cream all over Kana`s face (and feet and legs, etc.) The result was calm, peaceful and HOT.
Rie is back. But she is now known as Mai. This was a custom for someone who recognized what sexy feet Mai has especially when they are slimy and gooey. Mai did some nice barefoot posing for us. Then she played in a lot of different slimy substances with her bare feet. She also squished some oranges under her bare soles. And finally she let us pour various slippery slimy liquids over her soles and toes. If you like barefoot Japanese girls this is a must.
Most of us don't worry about our holiday health until we come down with something while we're away - cue the dash to the local pharmacy to try and explain our symptoms in sign language.A little forward planning can make this panic unnecessary. The most common summer problems - sunburn, upset tummies, travel sickness, insect bites - are all preventable or quickly treatable with a little know-how.
Traveller's tummy -
Food poisoning can happen when you eat food or drink that are contaminated due to poor sanitation or preparation. There's also a risk if there are pesticides on fruit and veg, or food is stored at the wrong temperature. Research has found that 60 per cent of visitors to Africa and India get stomach upset, while in medium-risk destination like the Mediterranean and Caribbean, where water quality and food hygiene may be better, 15 to 20 per cent people had problems.
Prevent it - Avoid drinking water from unsealed bottles, ice (which may have been made from unfiltered tap water), and unpeeled fruits. It's also advisable to steer clear of raw or undercooked meat or fish, as bacteria won't have been destroyed in the cooking process. Look after your digestive system with a probiotic supplements that can help maintain your gut health.
Treat it - Most cases of traveller's tummy last three to five hours. It's often best to let it take its course, as diarrhoea is your body's way of getting the bug out of your system. Keep fluids up by sipping water and consider replacing lost electrolytes with rehydration salts (available at pharmacy).
Travel sickness -
It can happen while you're in a car, plane, boat or even on a fairground ride. You feel sick because, although sitting still, your body will see and feel that you're moving, and this confusion can cause nausea.
Prevent it - Choose your seat carefully. You'll feel less sick in the front or the middle back seat of a car (as you can see the road) or at the front of a coach. Travel sickness tablets will also help, and generally work best if taken at least two hours before the journey.
Treat it - If you feel sick, breathe slowly and deeply. This can help stop nausea. One possible reason for this, according to motion sickness experts is that it's impossible to vomit and breathe at the same time - so, by focusing on the latter, you avoid the former.
Insect bites -
Each year, 2,000 Brits are bitten by mosquito and contract malaria.But this is tiny compared to the huge numbers who suffer less serious bites that itch like mad.
Prevent it - No one knows exactly why some people get bitten more than others. Experts believe it's something you excrete in sweet that attracts the insects, but no one has isolated what that is yet. what we do know is how to stop them. The most powerful contain a chemical called DEET - and these should be first choice if you're travelling to a malarial area (it is not suitable for pregnant women or children).
Treat it - When you react badly to an insect bite, you're suffering a mild allergic reaction to the saliva the insect insert in the wound. A topical antihistamine or steroid cream is therefore the most effective treatment. Whatever you do, don't scratch as, although it eases the itching, it can break the skin, leading to infections. Another way to ease discomfort is to use an electronic zapper, which sends a mild electrical pulse through the bite yo relieve the itch.
Foot problems -
The two biggest summer feet problems are blisters and painful condition called plantar fasciitis (PF) - an inflammation of a tendon that runs along the base of the foot. It's commonly triggered by walking in flat shoes like flip-flops. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include pain as soon as you get out of bed in the morning or when you stand up after sitting down for a while.
Prevent them - Blisters form when the outer layer of the skin becomes damages where shoes rub. this creates a pocket of clear fluid, which is the body's way of protecting the skin from further damage. Blisters occur more often if feet are dry cracked or grubby. So make sure you wash and moisturise your feet daily.
Plantar fasciitis is best prevented by not mixing flip-flops and sightseeing. In any very flat shoe, the arch of the foot flattens when you walk, which pulls on the plantar fasciia tendon. In flip-flops, people also walk with feet turned slightly outward, which further aggravates the problem.
Treat them - The worst thing that can happen to a blister is if it bursts or the top scrapes off. A blister plaster over the top will protect against further damage or infection, however. If you're suffering from plantar fasciitis, stretching is key. Sit on a chair and put your painful foot on top of your opposite knee - now gently pull back your toes toward your shin. Hold for 10 seconds, and repeat 10 times. Do this at least three times a day - particularly before you get out of bed first thing in the morning.
Holiday cystitis -
Although it can affect anyone, it's generally woman who suffer from cystitis, and holidays can be a prime trigger. Heat, alcohol and air travel can lead to dehydration, which concentrates your urine, making it easier for the bacteria that causes cystitis to flourish. For some women, cystitis is triggered by having sex, which moves bugs into the urinary system. So if you get more frisky on holiday, you could find yourself suffering.
Prevent it - It helps to empty your bladder after sex, and make sure you wipe from front to back after you've been to the loo, to stop germs from spreading.
Treat it - As soon as you develop symptoms (ie the constant desire to urinate and burning pain when you do, sometimes accompanied by cloudly or bloody urine), increase your water intake to two litres a day. This can be enough to flush out the bacteria and stop an infection taking hold. Avoid alcohol, as it feeds the bacteria that causes disease. If you don't feel any relief in 24 to 48 hours, see a doctor, as you may need antibiotics.

Those dreaded hangovers are something people have been dealing with for thousands and thousands of years. However, many of those individuals never really figured out what was causing them...and neither do many people now. If a person was able to figure out just what causes a hangover, wouldn't it be fair to say that they can be eliminated almost completely? It's true. There are many ways to avoid them, but let's first look at how they are caused. First, a hangover is basically a series of unpleasant symptoms directly linked to the over consumption of alcohol, as well as other substances and lack thereof (i.e. water). Most of us know the common symptoms including headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, irritability, grogginess and so on. But each of these symptoms are actually caused by contributions fro many different things such as vitamin B12 deficiency, and lack of hydration. The symptoms can last from say an hour all the way into a few days for some people. Ouch!
Some of the main causes of a hangover are due to dehydration, drinking too much too fast, carbonated drinks, drinking on an empty stomach, congeners, acetaldehyde, vitamin B12 deficiency and more. We will go over the more apparent symptoms here.
Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it makes you urinate...regularly. This constant urination actually is one of the main causes of your headache in the morning. The headaches are often caused by dehydration. When you urinate often, you lose water. Many people forget to consume water when out drinking and this can lead to quite some pain the next day. Your body needs water in order to process to alcohol, so maybe try a glass between each beer. You and your body will both be happy later.
Drinking too much too fast or binge drinking obviously will cause a hangover due to the fact that your body can only process about a beer an hour. When you pile on three, four, or more beers in an hour, the toxins that your body turns the alcohol into run rampant until your body can properly metabolize it into non-toxic substances.
Many people already know that mixing drinks can lead to worsened hangovers. This is usually caused by mixing carbonated drinks with non-carbonated hard liquor drinks, also mixing lighter and darker colored drinks can lead to heavier hangovers due to the congener content. The sweeter drinks can fool a person, too. When you are drinking beers all night and someone hands you a lovely margarita, of course you will drink it in a similar fashion as to that of your last beer.
Carbonated drinks such as champagne can speed up your hangover due to the fact that carbonated beverages speed up your body's metabolism. It takes a while for your body to adjust to a non-carbonated alcoholic drink and by the time you realize it, you are already feeing pretty nauseas. Think of it like the difference between digesting a salad and a steak. Which takes longer?
Next we come to by-products of both fermentation and you own body's metabolism of alcohol. When alcohol is produced, many by-products of fermentation are produced. These are called congeners. They cause hangovers. The cheaper the drink, the less congeners are taken out. That is why you get worsened hangovers for drinking cheap liquor. Now as for your body, when you break down alcohol, an enzyme breaks it down into a toxic substance called acetaldehyde. Then it breaks it down with another enzyme into a non-toxic substance. When you have a lot of acetaldehyde in your body and your liver can't break it all down in time, it can assist in liver damage as well as get you pretty sick the next day. One thing to note is that in addition to acetaldehyde, acetaminophen can also damage your liver due to the fact that now you would be having two toxins up in your liver. That puts quite a bit of pressure on your liver and it can only handle so much. Acetaminophen is found in products such as Tylenol.
One thing to remember here is that it is a good thing to know what causes a hangover as it will show you the way to preventing the things from happening in the first place. Also there are all-natural anti-hangover supplements that I recommend which can do wonders if taken before getting into the night of drinking. So drink well and I'll talk to ya soon!

What is a Body Wrap?
In the golden days, they were simply an ace bandage or saran wrap tightly wrapped around your body. However, with increases in science and technology, they are much more than just something to make you feel a bit slimmer.
Today, a body wrap is likely to be a treatment where you are lathered up in a rich mineral body mask of seaweed and other various botanical ingredients. And, depending on the treatment, could last anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours.
They are performed at many salons and day spas, and are becoming increasingly popular as a private, in-home treatment.
Are All Treatments the Same?
No!
There are essentially two different kinds of wrap being sold by salons and retailers. Both types of treatment will cause drastic improvements in the healing, conditioning, and moisturizing of the skin. However, there is a radical difference between the two!
A 'Big Night' Treatment
This first type of treatment is particularly beneficial for a special occasion or a large event. It enables you to lose inches drastically through water loss. These can be particularly useful on an evening or weekend when you want to be looking your slimmest and fittest. However, the inch loss from this type of body wrap is strictly temporary, much like that which you would obtain in a prolonged session in a sauna.
A 'Permanent' Treatment
This other type of body wrap is known for its capabilities to aide in weight loss. This type of treatment creates inch loss by allowing the lymphatic system to successfully remove stored toxins. These toxins enter your system through the environment, poor dieting, and pollutants!
The permanent treatment also stimulates lymphatic drainage, which in turn, releases toxins and fatty acids from your cells. These toxins are then eliminated along with the system's natural waste process.
A tell-tale sign of this type of wrap is a necessary step in the instructions to 'drink water'. Your system needs this water to aide in the release of toxins, and without it, your body won't be able to perform this process properly.
The results from this type of treatment can vary depending on an individual's toxicity level; however, the inch loss obtained is often permanent.
So, are Body Wraps a Scam?!
The answer is absolutely not.
Experts agree that body wraps are great aides in losing stubborn weight, feeling good, and living healthy.
Body wraps can serve a variety of purposes, depending on a person's needs. If you have loose skin, a big event coming up, or are looking to lose those unwanted inches, there is a different treatment for you.
