Take a bow Mr and Mrs Rooney - now take off!

Well, the so-called ‘wedding of the year’ has finally taken place in Portofino, Italy. The heavily magazine-financed nuptials of Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLaughlin took place today and poor Coleen-baby had to parade her obscenely priced frock through pouring rain…an omen or what?

While many of those fans who pay to go through the turnstiles to see Rooney and his team mates lose matches, despite being paid hideous amounts of money to do so, something just turns the tummy about seeing so much ostentatiousness being applied to something like this. A quarter of a million pounds for one dress…? many would-be brides today have to resort to picking up their dress at a discount sale - and probably look twice as better in it.

Review before you buy

With almost half the worlds female population on some kind of weightloss regime at some point during their lives, and the other half seemingly not caring - check the obesity levels in British people today - the market for fast and rapid weightloss solutions is booming as ever.

If you are thinking of resorting to pills to lose weight you may be familiar with the formula called Phentermine; remember that this is a drug and if you are considering purchasing this without a doctors say-so then check out what consumer’s say about this drug first.

The Holistic approach

Even though I consult a conventional general practictioner whenever myself or one of the kids feels poorly I have long been curious about alternative medicine. When you think about it the holistic approach makes perfectly good sense for the main reason that it treats the ‘entire person’ rather than just the one ailment.

Over the centuries this was how it was done; the ‘doctor’ took into account what the patient ate, drank, how often they went to the toilet, how long they slept - you get the picture - when putting together their treatment. They even pioneered such things as acne treatments and ways to relieve high blood pressure - using leeches.

You have to admit that despite some of the weird and wonderful potions prescribed back then may have done more harm than good in some cases, but of course the human race did survive. Maybe going ‘back to nature’ has it’s advantages ?
