			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Lipo and Laser Can Help You Men Get The Body You Want</strong></h1>
<p>A while back, I wrote the post &#8220;Older Women Make Beautiful Lovers…and Can Still be Beautiful&#8221; about the song, &#8220;<a title="Older Women" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoSr3SsoQs8" target="_blank">Older Women</a>&#8221; by Ronnie McDowell.  The point of the blog was that, as we get older we gain experience, wisdom, and understanding.  With what we have gained, why do we have to lose our looks?</p>
<p>Obviously, we don&#8217;t!  Dr. David Carpenter and his expert use of <a title="SmartLipo" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoSr3SsoQs8">SmartLipo</a> helped me gain back years.  I gained a look I thought I had lost.  I looked, well, like I felt inside.</p>
<p>So here we are.  I am no longer in my early 20s and Mr. McDowell is telling me how beautiful of a lover I am as an older woman.  That&#8217;s nice.  Thanks for saying so Ronnie, but what about older men?  Sorry, but this is the 21st century and us older women need some older men to step up their game.</p>
<p>The world is a little unfair.  There is an expectation that women should look fit and trim, not have grey hair, not have wrinkles.  Men can be a little overweight with grey hair and starting to get wrinkles and we talk about them looking distinguished.  But really, women do like a man who takes care of himself, a man that looks good and is confident in who they are.</p>
<p>I see so many of you out there with a little bit of extra weight and now you are over-compensating.  I know the joke is that you are getting the big new truck, the massive speakers, all in an effort to present a, um, large image.  But maybe buying larger items and spending more cash is an effort to divert attention from the growing waistline.</p>
<p>Come on men!  You’re better than that!  Don’t hide from who you are and who you can be.  I know you used to work out and are probably trying to get back into it.  Yes, watching what you eat is frustrating and you don’t really want to, but it is better for you in the long run.</p>
<p>I know you think we are picking at you, but we women don&#8217;t harp on you about watching what you eat or working out because we like to irritate you. We do it because we want you to be in better health.  We actually like you and we want you to stick around longer.</p>
<p>Even better, there are other options available as well to get back to the way you used to look.  Lipo and Laser has these options, and not just the SmartLipo procedure that helped me so much.</p>
<p><a title="VASER Hi Definition Fat Transfer" href="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/body-beautification/vasor-hi-def-fat-transfer/">VASER Hi Definition Fat Transfer</a> is available to move fat from trouble areas to augment other areas of your body to give you a more sculpted look.  Or do you have man-breasts?  Dr. Carpenter excels at <a title="male breast reduction" href="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/body-beautification/gynecomastia/">male breast reduction</a>.</p>
<p>Lipo and Laser is in Humble (Northeast Houston), so they are close.  Close enough to find out how you men can change your appearance.  Don’t buy a new extended cab pickup truck with all the bells and whistles.  Invest in something so much more valuable – yourself.</p>
<p>Regain your looks and your confidence.  Become that beautiful lover we women know is still there. </p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>SmartLipo and Your Wardrobe are a Perfect Fit</h2>
<p>Houston Texas has some nice restaurants.  We even have restaurants that offer food other than barbecue, though we do that quite well, thank you very much.  Houston has fun places to go with really good food.  I go out to dinner with my husband and I see these young ladies on first dates.  How do I know?  Some of it is how they act, sure, but some of it is how they dress. </p>
<p>Over there is a flirty little one shoulder affair with sexy heels.  I saw the way she wore the cute jacket and made sure her date was looking as she took the jacket off to reveal her outfit.  Nice.</p>
<p>Another woman is wearing a cute teal mini dress.  She has long straight blond hair that matches her long legs.  That woman over there is wearing a simple lacy dress with a grey undershirt.  Nice and basic.  Shows off her form without selling out.</p>
<p>And that one?  She is wearing some tight jeans with a sexy button down that she probably wore to work and then undid a button or two for the date.  Oh my, he is staring hard at her!  Sneaking peeks at her cleavage when he thinks she won&#8217;t notice.  Ha!  She knows he is looking and she has a body that she wants him to notice.</p>
<p>These young ones with their young bodies.  They have found their style and are enjoying sharing it with their date.</p>
<p>What about you?  Do you have a closet full of clothes&#8230;and absolutely nothing to wear?  Why is that?  I can hear your responses: &#8220;Because it is outdated.&#8221;  &#8220;Because it is not the right season.&#8221;  But I will bet that one of the reasons is that the clothes do not fit your body anymore.</p>
<p>Have you hit that point?  That point that you know what NOT to wear. </p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Houston Lipo and Laser - Before the Date" src="http://rockwellprints.org/Before%20the%20Date%20Rockwell%20Print.jpg" alt="Before the Date " width="400" height="429" />Do you have a hot date tonight?  Maybe it is a first date.  I can see you now.  You are standing in the middle of your closet in your grey sweats and t-shirt, probably eating some yogurt so you won&#8217;t be too hungry during the date.  Definitely want to avoid pigging out in front of the man.  You slide the hangers back and forth, pulling out a sexy blouse here, a sassy dress there.  Some of them you do not even hold against your body as you stare in the mirror.  You know it does not fit anymore.</p>
<p>The worst part is that you know the clothes do not fit because of just a few pounds. I mean, you are eating yogurt in your closet for goodness sake!  Of course you are watching what you eat and you are close to being at that goal weight; the weight you had years ago when you bought that daring little outfit.</p>
<p>Are you going to hide the clothes in the closet and buy new clothes to hide yourself?</p>
<p>A new wardrobe is just what you need.  A wardrobe that fits your personality; that fits who you are at this point in your life; that fits your body.  Go for it!  Finding the right clothes just for you is exciting. </p>
<p>Maybe you should wait just a little bit though.  Wait until you lose those last few pounds, THEN hit the stores for those special outfits.  Maybe even buy the jeans that are the next size down.  You know they&#8217;ll look good on you!  And a beautiful outfit can make you feel so good, so confident.</p>
<p>Let Dr. David Carpenter and his team of professionals at Lipo and Laser use SmartLipo to help you lose those last few pounds and get you started towards that wardrobe makeover.  SmartLipo can be the key to getting into that sexy little one shoulder number.  The one that will make him look when you take your jacket off at dinner.</p>
<p>Enjoy your date!  I know your date will enjoy looking at you.</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Use Lipo and Laser to Keep the Mirror From Scaring You</strong></h1>
<p>My cousin is from Sudbury, Canada, which I think is about a 5 hour drive NORTH of Toronto.  I am from Houston,Texas, which I think is just about an hour’s drive north of the equator.  Not sure why, but we became best friends the first time we met.  We would not see each other for years but it was like we had not been apart when we did get together.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Count Floyd" src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h146/frostus27/count_floyd.gif" alt="Count Floyd" width="320" height="242" />She was the one who introduced me to a Canadian comedy show called SCTV.  It seemed to be the Canadian answer to Saturday Night Live.  One of the characters was Count Floyd, the vampire host for Monster Chiller Horror Theatre.  The Count Floyd character was funny because it was a regular TV station guy who had to take on this job as a host for a weekly &#8220;horror&#8221; show but all the movies that were shown were just plain bad and not scary.  Count Floyd had to continually try to sell how scary the movies were.</p>
<p>He wasn’t very good.  Sometimes he would be talking to a person off camera, not realizing he was live, and after watching the movie clip he would say, &#8220;Is that it?&#8221;  Then, realizing the camera was back on him, he would go into his fake Transylvanian accent and say, &#8220;ooooooh, isn&#8217;t that scary, kids?&#8221;  Hilarious!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know why I still remember Count Floyd and those goofy skits.  But I still do remember them from time to time, especially around Halloween.  In recent years, I remember staring into the mirror and thinking maybe there is something scary staring back at me.  It was like I was staring into a carnival mirror that was distorting my image.</p>
<p>I love Halloween.  I love to dress up and go to costume parties.  I love to see the creative costumes other people create and wear.</p>
<p>Christmas is still my favorite holiday, but Halloween is a close second.  I think it is because you have the opportunity to be creative.  I have enjoyed cutting scary faces into pumpkins.  Some years we have put three or four pumpkins out because we had so many great ideas.</p>
<p>I like helping my kids come up with costume ideas.  My kids have been a movie popcorn box, a fish tank, a robot, and even a stick man (black clothing with glow sticks &#8211; very cool outfit!)  I like coming up with my own outfits as well.  I have been a vampiress, a cowgirl, and a witch.  My husband and I have been Ken and Barbie.  In my heavier days I have hidden my body by dressing up as a green M&amp;M.  Yes, going to the bathroom was just as difficult as you are imagining it would be.</p>
<p>In more recent years, I still have loved Halloween but felt stressed about what to wear.  Sure, I live in Humble, so I do own cowboy boots and a hat.  But going as a cowgirl year after year gets a little boring…for everybody.  I want to dress up as something funny or scary, with just a hint of sexy.  This is the first year in a long time where I feel I can do that.  I can wear an outfit that shows off a little skin to add just the right amount of spice to make people want to look at my outfit a little more.</p>
<p>And I like that I have the confidence to wear such an outfit.  All it took was a visit to Lipo and Laser.  The free consultation started me on my way.  Laser liposuction (<a title="SmartLipo" href="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/body-beautification/smartlipo/" target="_blank">SmartLipo</a>) was just what I needed to lose those last few pounds.  SmartLipo and the expert skill of Dr. David Carpenter gave me the body I wanted, the body I knew I still had.</p>
<p>So this year, don&#8217;t stand in front of the mirror each day and feel like you’re staring at a carnival mirror.  Get the image you want!  Get that slightly sexy costume you want.</p>
<p>Dr. Carpenter and the Lipo and Laser staff got me to the point where I felt I could get more daring with my Halloween costume and this year, there won&#8217;t be anyone saying, &#8220;ooooooh, isn&#8217;t that scary, kids?&#8221;</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>
<p>P.S.  I am sooooo glad I don’t live in Canada.  Showing skin at the end of October is likely to get frostbite in uncomfortable areas!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Keep the Bathing Suit Body with Laser Liposuction</h1>
<p>Here in North Houston, Texas it is still hot. Normally it is hot and humid.  Unfortunately, it has been a dry heat with drought all across the state of Texas.  Recently, however, the temperatures have dropped in to the high 80s and low 90s.  When it finally dips down like that, you know that you have survived another Texas summer.</p>
<p>Sure, temperature is not the only clue that summer is over.  You fought your way through Back to School sales.  You&#8217;ve just spent a ton of money buying school supplies and nice clothes that meet the dress code, and now your kids are back into the swing of the school year.</p>
<p>And you?  Well you are back to your own work grind or daily routine.  Any vacation you had taken is well behind you now.  You can&#8217;t wait for next summer and you are already dreaming about where you might go next year.</p>
<p><a href="http://d22nv2k05ynu7x.cloudfront.net/deal_images/deal/1999-for-laser-liposuction-treatment-for-both-flanks-at-maison-de-leumas-cosmetic-surgery-center-in-westerville-6000-value-1304223204_fixedheight_display_image.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Laser Liposuction North Houston--Keep the bathing suit body" src="http://d22nv2k05ynu7x.cloudfront.net/deal_images/deal/1999-for-laser-liposuction-treatment-for-both-flanks-at-maison-de-leumas-cosmetic-surgery-center-in-westerville-6000-value-1304223204_fixedheight_display_image.jpg" alt="Laser Liposuction North Houston--Keep the bathing suit body" width="372" height="264" /></a>Have you ever set a time limit for a goal and then, when the timer goes off, you relax and stop working on the goal?  It is like some of the tests our kids take at school.  When the timer goes off, the teacher tells them to put the pencils down, whether or not they were finished with the test.</p>
<p>I think many of us do the same thing; we set a timer for the summer.  The test was to do whatever we needed to do to keep the weight off so we would look good in summer clothes.</p>
<p>DINGDINGDING!  The timer has gone off.  We know summer is over and we mentally let off the gas.  We put the two piece bathing suit back in the drawer.  We box up the cute shorts and other summer clothes.  We start putting heavier clothes in the easier-to-access parts of the closet.</p>
<p>Pretty soon it will be fall, with the leaves changing color and cooler weather outside.  We might even have a chance of wearing a jacket.  I know that, for years, wearing jackets and other loose fitting clothes was a way of hiding the extra pounds.  I had found creative ways to hide the extra weight, even to myself.  It seemed like I spent more time thinking about how to cover up the weight than I spent trying to actually lose it.</p>
<p>But I finally changed my mindset and I worked hard to lose what I could.  I worked hard in the gym.  I worked hard at Pilates classes and Spinning classes.  I worked hard to eat better and not drink as much wine. <img src='http://www.lipoandlaser.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   And the work paid off.  I lost most of my weight, but I needed the help of Dr. David Carpenter and laser liposuction to complete what I had been working towards.  His skillful liposuction abilities hit the trouble spots that all the Zumba classes in world could not get rid of.</p>
<p>Did your timer go off recently?  Don’t listen to it.  Keep working hard.  Keep that weight off, and if you need some help with the trouble spots, Lipo and Laser is there for you with laser liposuction.  It’s almost like it is your own Back to School sale.  It is a sweet deal that makes you look good.</p>
<p>So let Lipo and Laser help you keep the bathing suit body.  Even if it looks like your hiding weight under a bulky sweater, you will know better…you and Dr. David Carpenter!</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>
<p>P.S.  A special thanks to all of the firefighters that worked tirelessly to contain and put out fires across Texas.  You have done a marvelous job in these drought conditions.  Thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Middle age spread&#8221;.  It sounds like a butter substitute.  It&#8217;s like our body is toast and we are using a big ol’ butter knife to cover our bodies with middle age spread.  Why not add some big belly jam, or some thunder thighs preserves, or some bodacious booty marmalade? As we get older, it looks like we are laying the spread on pretty thick!</p>
<p>I have learned to hate the phrase middle age spread.  It means that, as we get older (btw, it is on my bucket list to not get older), we take on more weight.  I hate the phrase because it seems to imply that I can do nothing about it.  I am stuck with this fact of life, like death (another item on my bucket list is to live forever) and taxes.</p>
<p>But it seems that there is some science to the middle age spread.  The good folks up in Minnesota at the Mayo Clinic wrote an article targeting women and menopause.  In the pre-menopausal stage of our life is where we can have the most weight gain.  What?!?!?!  I have to get ready to go through menopause by GAINING WEIGHT?</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 236px"><a href="http://go.vi-ral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Blog-Middle-Age-Spread.jpg"><img title="Middle Age Spread" src="http://go.vi-ral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Blog-Middle-Age-Spread.jpg" alt="Middle Age Spread" width="226" height="223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Middle Age Spread? Oh No!!!!</p></div>
<p>The ideas behind some of this weight gain are not new.  We tend to exercise less as we get older.  Living the life of great food and excellent wine might cause you to think you&#8217;ll exercise tomorrow, and then weeks go by before you get back in the gym.</p>
<p>I personally like to run and I hate running on the treadmill.  Now I will be the first to admit, I like looking good in my workout clothes and showing off at the gym can be nice for the ego, but when I am running I want to see the scenery change as my feet hit the pavement.  I want a sense of accomplishment, of getting from point A to point B.  But living in Houston, Texas, where it is summer nine months out of the year, it is difficult to get motivated to run outside.  So it becomes easy to say I will do it tomorrow morning&#8230;and then put it off another day&#8230;and then put it off once more&#8230;</p>
<p>When we get older, we also start to lose muscle mass and, if we don&#8217;t exercise, we won&#8217;t keep the muscle, so our body replaces the muscle with fat.  What doesn&#8217;t help is that this can come about because we are content with where we are and who we are, so we stop working out.  Completely unfair!  We have worked hard to get where we are in life and can finally be happy with who we are, and then our body starts changing, so we stop looking like who we are.</p>
<p>And men, don&#8217;t think you are out of this conversation.  This is not just limited to women and our hormones.  Berkeley did a study of almost five thousand runners.  The article is called &#8220;Middle-Age Weight Gain: Men Unlikely To Outrun It&#8221; (<a href="http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/spare-tire.html" target="_blank">http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/spare-tire.html</a>).  Even the link to the article has a little humor in it.  Did you notice the last portion of the URL is &#8220;spare tire&#8221;?</p>
<p>In the article it said that even the committed runner found it more and more difficult to stay thin.  The article says that &#8220;Aside from the sagging egos that are associated with bulging beltlines, there are also serious health consequences.&#8221; When the belly fat increases, there is evidence that this fat is linked to such things as high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease.</p>
<p>Sure, we have to take some responsibility.  We all know we have to step up &#8211; we have to exercise (even in this blasted Houston heat!). We have to watch what we eat.  Not stop eating all the good food, but how much.  And, as much as I hate to say it, limit all the tasty wine.  Learn to enjoy what we are eating and drinking, not focus on the fact that we are not eating and drinking so much of it.</p>
<p>But even with all this, which I have done, the articles admit that it is more and more difficult to keep our middle age bodies from getting the spreads.  Dr. David Carpenter knows all about this.  For years, he has seen many of us come in with the same issues.  We are working hard and just want a little help.  Laser liposuction is a procedure that is easy (local anesthetic) and so much better than regular liposuction.</p>
<p>Back in the early 80s, my cute little boy, Daryl Hall of Hall &amp; Oates, sang</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccenFp_3kq8&amp;ob=av2n" target="_blank">I can’t go for that, no, no can do</a></em></p>
<p>I agree.  I can’t go for that, no can do!  Let the friendly folks at Lipo and Laser help you in your fight against the middle age spread.  Laser liposuction is a perfect solution and Lipo and Laser are the best in Houston!</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Don&#8217;t Let Your Vacation Be A Four-Letter Word</h1>
<p>Vacation is the summer ritual.  Everyone has had at least one vacation of a lifetime.  The one that holds memories that last for years.  The one where the kids actually say, &#8220;Thanks, Mom and Dad, that was cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>But &#8220;vacation&#8221; can also be a four-letter word.  You find yourself doing a lot more of the prep work while your husband seems to go missing.</p>
<p>The day you leave, you’re frantically getting luggage, last-minute items, kids in the car, husband in the car, kids out of the car to go to the bathroom, the long plane ride or the even longer car drive&#8230;  You know how it goes.  The stress of getting there doesn&#8217;t go away.  It turns into the stress of all the activities, fights between kids, fights with the kids, and fighting with the wine bottle as you try to uncork it at the end of the day.</p>
<p>Well, we finally got around to getting away for a while.  Now, I am from Humble, Texas.  I know that many of you out there think that those of us in Humble believe &#8220;getting away&#8221; means leaving tha kids at Momma&#8217;s fer the night and hittin&#8217; tha bingo parlor fer tha big money prizes (y’all can read Texas twang, right?).  Not that I am above a bingo parlor.  I have been known to wear out a bingo dauber.  But this time, my husband and I got away for some special time just for us.<img class="alignright" title="Seaside, Fl" src="http://www.socialmiami.com/img2008/Seaside-Florida-360x225.jpg" alt="Seaside, Florida" width="360" height="225" /></p>
<p>We went out of state to Destin, Florida.  It was beautiful there!  The weather was nice (I like anywhere it is hot) and the water was clear.  We rented a condo that was walking distance from the beach.  We woke up when we wanted, went to sleep when we wanted, and&#8230;did other things we wanted to as well.</p>
<p>I remember going to a little town close by called Seaside.  It was terribly cute.  White picket fences and houses that seem to have a 50s style but are well taken care of.  Turns out, the movie <em>The Truman Show</em> was filmed there.</p>
<p>My husband told me that, while he was taking pictures, I had walked a little ways ahead.  As he was catching up to me, he saw four men in their twenties.  They were playing it cool and talking to each other as they walked past me, but as soon as I passed by, all four turned their heads and got in a good stare.  As they turned around to walk on, they saw my husband and they burst out laughing.  Not at my husband, but at the fact that they were busted and there was no denying it.</p>
<p>One night we were at dinner and I was walking back from the make-myself-pretty room.  I was wearing “that” dress.  The one that I haven’t worn in more years than I care to admit.  As I sat down, my husband asked if I noticed the couple of gentlemen that were watching me.  “No,” I said, trying to be nonchalant.  But I had noticed and it felt good!  I started to smile and he just laughed.</p>
<p>My point is, vacation can be a four-letter word because of how you feel about yourself.  How do you look in your clothes or in your bathing suit?  How do you feel when you are around a lot of strangers and don’t feel as confident as you used to?</p>
<p>I have to tell you, it feels good to put on shorts or a bathing suit and know that it fits you the way you want it to.  Laser liposuction was the final step to getting me into my vacation comfort zone.</p>
<p>You’ve got “that” bathing suit, “that” dress, hanging in your closet next to the baggy shirts.  Let Dr. David Carpenter at Lipo and Laser and his skills with laser liposuction give you the body you want so you can leave the baggy shirts behind on your next vacation.</p>
<p>Instead of a four-letter word vacation, this was a vacation full of memories.  Though, this vacation did remind me that &#8220;sexy&#8221; was a four-letter word as well.</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the early 80s, Ronnie McDowell had a number 1 country hit called &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoSr3SsoQs8" target="_blank">Older Women</a>&#8220;.  The chorus of the song sounds romantic and is a nice ego boost for us older women.</p>
<div id="attachment_1241" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 398px"><a href="http://www.ronniemcdowell.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1241" title="SmartLipo" src="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/SmartLipo.png" alt="Not bad for a man who's &quot;on in years.&quot; Hah!" width="388" height="745" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Not bad for a man who&#39;s &quot;on in years.&quot; Hah!</p></div>
<p><em>Older women, are beautiful lovers<br />
</em><em>Older women, they understand<br />
</em><em>I&#8217;ve been around some, and I have discovered<br />
</em><em>That older women know just how to please a man. </em></p>
<p>Ah, such a nice sentiment.  As we get older, men will still find us attractive because of the experience we have.  We have been around the block a time or two.  We can handle ourselves.  There is an understanding, a wisdom, that is part of being an older woman that men can see and appreciate.</p>
<p>I did a quick Internet search for Ronnie McDowell.  He’s not from Houston.  Heck, he’s not even from Texas.  He is actually from Portland…Tennessee.  No, I haven’t heard of Portland, Tennessee either, but at least he is a good ol&#8217; Southern boy.  I love the Southern men and their easy-going, friendly manner.  And he sings the song in a heart-felt manner.  Almost makes me think that he believes what he sings.</p>
<p>But the first line of the song tells a pretty accurate story too.</p>
<p><em>Everybody seems to love those younger women<br />
</em><em>From eighteen on up to twenty-five </em></p>
<p>And why do they love those younger women?  Because of how they look!  That really old gazillionaire didn’t go after Anna Nicole Smith because of her ability to hold a conversation.</p>
<p>So what are we to do?  I agree with Ronnie.  I am more experienced and more understanding.  I have grown up and am more of the things I want to be than I was years ago, and that is very important to me.  So why do I have to give up being beautiful too?</p>
<p>I needed a little push over the top.  I needed some help with my trouble spots, the areas on my experienced body that just did not respond to exercise.  You know the experience I am talking about – having children, getting a little older, living life.</p>
<p>For me, SmartLipo was the key.  It’s so much better than regular liposuction and it was Dr. David Carpenter, the skillful doctor at Lipo and Laser, who gave me the key to finish unlocking the door to my beauty.</p>
<p>Make no mistake, I started opening the door through hard work and dedication to my fitness, but Dr. Carpenter was the Southern gentleman who held the door open as I walked through.  Houston, Texas has such nice gentlemen, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>By the way, I looked at Ronnie’s website.  There is a Bio picture of him looking sultry in his shades holding his guitar.  You’re looking pretty darn good for a guy who has hit 60, Ronnie.  Did you have some SmartLipo done on your last tour trip through Houston?  I wouldn’t blame you if you did.  For as smart and as wise as I am sure you are, it still feels great to look so good, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Dee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #000000;">Getting Older and What You Can Do About It</span></h1>
<p>Getting older hopefully brings many things: wisdom, confidence, and security.  Maybe it could also bring the nicer things in life, like good wine, fine foods, the car of your dreams, and a bigger house.  Getting older doesn&#8217;t guarantee these things, but it does seem to guarantee that we will gain a few extra pounds.  We might gain those pounds because of the wine and fine food!</p>
<p>The middle age spread seems to hit us all.  It could be for many reasons.  Like, when we get older, the metabolism slows.  What weight used to stay off fairly easily now sticks around.  It sticks around in places like your bottom, your waist in the form of love handles, your belly, your lower back, and even your face.</p>
<p>Getting older means dirty little secrets that we whisper to close friends.  My friend told me her dirty little secret: potato chips.  Mine is ice cream.  My husband’s is chocolate.  I actually have to hide my chocolate because, if he knows it is in the house, it is gone.  Now I don’t think these little secrets really are all that bad, except we seem to lack the restraint at times to control what we eat and how much we eat. </p>
<p>I told my friend about laser liposuction and how successful it was for me.  She felt she needed to get her “secret” under control before she spent the money for SmartLipo.  I understand that, because I tried everything first before I went to Lipo and Laser.  But maybe what she needs is motivation.  What could be more motivating than to have the look that you want?  That gives me the motivation I need to keep doing what is needed to keep the weight off.</p>
<p>Getting older means we become more professional.  I used to be a waitress, on my feet all day running around getting customers yet another basket of tortilla chips.  People work in warehouses, mowing lawns, and construction work.  As we get older, we start moving up the corporate ladder, being the supervisor, being the salesperson.  Jobs that put us behind the desk with less activity…and more stress!  We eat without the physical activity that used to help keep the weight off.</p>
<p>It is summer here in Texas, which means a lot of heat.  When I am out and about around Humble, it seems like people are more covered up than you would think they would be in this heat, even at the swimming pool.   I think some of us more mature women have some areas that our metabolism won&#8217;t cover for us anymore.  It looks like others have a few dirty little secrets, while others are dressed in suits and ties that don’t quite hide that belly anymore.</p>
<p>SmartLipo is such a good option for this!  I have mentioned it before and I will again.  It was so easy (and much less painful than regular liposuction) to do SmartLipo because it is a local anesthetic and a laser to break up the fat cells and tighten the skin.  It worked on my love handles (thanks Dr. David Carpenter for the laser liposuction treatments!), and I know it can work for you.</p>
<p>Of course, I am not a professional, so call Lipo and Laser in Humble and let them fit you with the best treatment options for your specific needs.  Don&#8217;t let getting older keep you from looking like your younger self again!</p>
<p>Until Next Time,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Want to Make Exercise Easier?</h1>
<p>Exercise is social, everybody knows that. It&#8217;s a heck of a lot easier and more fun to exercise if you feel good about yourself. At least it is for yours truly.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been beautiful on the inside, at least I try to be. We all have our moments, right? But the outside sometimes lags a bit behind the way we feel. Dr. Carpenter and laser liposuction were an absolute lifesaver for me. The quick <a href="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/body-beautification/">body contouring </a>treatments at Lipo and Laser can give you the confidence you need in your body to bare it in the gym!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let your lack of confidence in your body image keep you from exercising. You know you need to exercise and you know you want to. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite so attractive as a person who believes in herself. When you like the way you look, you genuinely look better to others. I know it&#8217;s not logical, but confidence is sexxy.</p>
<p>For years the only method for losing that flab was to work it off a little at a time over years or to go through all the pain and discomfort of older liposuction techniques. Laser liposuction has revolutionized body contouring. So what are you waiting for?</p>
<p>The beach calls. The weather is cooperating. Your gym membership is going to waste. You are beautiful just the way you are, but you could be that little hot thing again. It&#8217;s up to you. Laser liposuction is the ticket. Humble is the place. Dr. Carpenter is your man.</p>
<p>Want to be hot this summer? Give the good folks at Lipo and Laser in Humble a call. They cannot wait to help you feel great about your body. Exercise should be part of every healthy person&#8217;s life. Stop putting it off and get the laser liposuction touch-ups that can make it easier and more fun for you to get back in the gym.</p>
<p>Better hurry. The summer is just about here&#8230;</p>
<p>Until Next Time,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Trophy Wife &#8211; Again!  FINALLY!</h1>
<p>I&#8217;m one of those that doesn&#8217;t mind hearing the truth, or telling it when the time is appropriate, and to me this is one of those times.  <a title="Body Contouring" href="http://www.lipoandlaser.com/body-beautification/">Body contouring </a>is amazing!  How many of you can identify with me?</p>
<p>I was very young with I got married; in fact I married my high school sweetheart.  Yes, we&#8217;ve been happy all these years (although I won&#8217;t reveal how many).  If you don&#8217;t mind me saying, I was HOT back in those early days, and was the perfect trophy wife.  Eventually business success came to my husband and I.  Without much effort, I was there to be present during presentations, trade shows, and sales deals.  My looks and his talent made us unstoppable.</p>
<p>Then children came into the picture, three in fact.  Yip, three in less than five years.  They are wonderful, and I would not trade them for the world!  However, without my participation as the &#8220;deal closer&#8221;, my husbands&#8217; sales began to fall and we were quickly depleting their college funds.  I tried working jobs to compensate, but we fell further and further behind.  The only way to rebound was to get back in the same shape I was before children and return to my &#8220;real&#8221; job &#8211; helping him close deals.</p>
<p>What did I <em>not</em> try to get myself back in shape?  Gyms, personal trainers, this diet, that diet, blah blah blah&#8230;  You know, you&#8217;ve been down that road.  I managed to get my arms, legs, neck, boobs, stomach, and even my butt into shape, but I couldn&#8217;t get rid of my &#8220;love handles&#8221;.  I don&#8217;t care what my husband said, I did not have the same body.  All that work, all that time, all that money, and I still have the flab?  Are you kidding?</p>
<p>Finally, a trusted friend asked if I&#8217;d ever considered body contouring?  I&#8217;d never even considered liposuction; it sounded too painful.  After being convinced that Dr. David Carpenter was the doctor for the job, I contacted his office.  With some hesitation, and humiliation, I admitted my dilemma.  Not only about my flab, but also about the fear factor.  I was quickly reassured that the processes used were all based on lasers that melt the fat rather than having it cut out, meaning less pain, less damage, and faster recovery than full-on liposuction.  We agreed on a plan, and everything went flawlessly.  I have my body back!</p>
<p>Once again, I am finally a trophy wife helping close the deals!  (Yes, finances are important, but it&#8217;s the feeling of actually being me again that is the best.)</p>
<p>Truth be told, I should have seen the best liposuction doctor in Humble long before wasting all the time and money on diets and gyms.  Dr. David Carpenter has restored my self-image, our family&#8217;s finances, and so much more.</p>
<p>Oh, there is only one drawback&#8230;  My husband is now so jealous of how he says, &#8220;&#8230;the other guys look at you.&#8221;  Whatever, I&#8217;m just me.  Funny though, I heard a voicemail left on the home phone for him, from Dr. Carpenter&#8217;s office.  Something about &#8220;man-boobs&#8221;.  Ha!  I haven&#8217;t asked him about it yet.  I&#8217;ll just wait until he caves!</p>
<p>Until Next Time!</p>
<p>Dee</p>
<p>Trophy Wife!!!</p>
