An english girl in Buenos Aires Part III

5th November
It's so odd to be reading emails from my friends in England, Halloween and bonfire night have both passed by now back home, events which normally mark the end of balmy autumn days and the start of cold crisp frosts and dark afternoons, winter is just around the corner. However, here, on the other side of the world the days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger and everyone is starting to pick up a bit of colour in their skin. One of the nicest things about warm climates is that it forces people to come outside and come together, away from our houses with closed doors and windows, out into the parks and squares. It has also meant that I have had the chance to experience a typical Argentinian 'asado'. An asado is basically, a barbeque, and like most social occasions it is centred around food. Friends gather together in someone's garden, terrace or courtyard, huge amounts of their delicious cow are cooked on a large par

Rinoplastia: Cuando una cirugía cambia la vida

RINOPLASTIA
Cuando una cirug
ía cambia
la vida
Emilia realmente cree que su bienestar comenzó a partir de la rinoplastia * Estaba tan pendiente de su nariz que no podía ver a su alrededor.
“Por culpa de mi nariz nuca pude verme linda, ni siquiera en las fotos de bebé. Empecé a acomplejarme a los 14 años cuando empecé a salir con amigas. Me arreglaba, me vestía con lo más lindo y en el momento que me miraba al espejo, me veía tan horrenda que prefería esconderme, inventaba excusas y me quedaba aislada en mi cuarto, llorando sin decir porqué.
Me la pasaba mirando fotos mías y comparándome con los demás. ¿Por qué a mí?, me preguntaba todo el tiempo. En el colegio todos se burlaban de mí, sentía que nunca iba a poder gustarle a nadie con esa nariz.
Llegaron mis 15 años y mis papás me dieron a elegir entre una fiesta o un viaje a Disney. Ninguna de las dos opciones me convencían: en la fiesta yo sería el centro de atención y todas las miradas

"A day without a laugh is a wasted day" said one of the most well-known humorists himself, the unforgettable Charles Chaplin, who knew very well what he was talking about.
Would you believe your doctor if he/she told you that laughter can improve your quality of life: release stress, diminish anguish and insomnia? Reduce cholesterol, oxygenate your blood, cut anxiety, strengthen your heart, and now and then, even if for short periods of time, leave your mind free of the daily problems that this ever rushing global world brings.
Even if it is hard to believe, with only three laughs a day, you can enjoy these free beneficial effects that have neither restrictions nor side effects.
In laughing you release endorphins, which are the hormones responsible for diminishing pain and constitute a kind of natural drug that circulates through your body. Endorphins are hundreds of times stronger than heroin and mor

Whenever you have the chance to travel somewhere, you think, first of all, about where you want to go; and almost immediately, you think with whom. However, there are people who get a headache from only having to choose a traveling partner and are clueless about who to choose. Sometimes we think about the ideal place based on the person who we always wanted to travel with, but other times it is the other way around, you look for a suitable partner for the place you've already chosen. Well, you have to be prepared, if you don't take into account certain important details you might regret having chosen that person, who can even spoil your travel. You will probably disagree with him/her on what to do, you both may not have the same pace and so you have to be always waiting for him/her or hurrying him/her up, well…let's not dig up that much into what may happen, on the contrary, in order to avoid all these issues let's mention some prospects t

Fernando 32 years old
Porn star
The reason why I decided to undergo a peneplasty was purely personal appearance; I work in the adult entertainment industry where size does matter. The way my penis looks is what sells best in this industry. Although I was average size and never had any size-related problem I thought that a few more centimeters could contribute to my career and it really helped a lot, everything turned out as planned.
Two years after my first surgery I came back to Argentina, since Plenitas professionals assured me that with a second surgery my penis could grow even more in size and thickness. As a lover of my career I came back for a second surgery.
Now I do can say I'm satisfied. I watch my movies
and pictures and I see what I always wanted to see, I'm proud of myself because now I do think that I meet my objective. I'm one of those people who think that you can't win the audience over with 20 centimeters when it comes to XXX movies.

Buenos Aires, Paris y sus similitudes ...

Cuando Gustavo tuvo que diferenciar su Buenos Aires
natal con Francia, el país que lo alberga desde hace más de 30 años, donde crecieron sus hijos y supo encontrar un grupo de amigos que le dio la bienvenida, no le fue tan fácil. Quizás alguien pensaría, pero que tendrán en común Buenos Aires con París?
Sin embargo, estos dos maravillosos lugares tan alejados en el mundo, comparten más de uno lo que uno imagina.
Empezando por el impresionante Río Sena, que divide en dos la capital francesa y donde se puede pasear en barco apreciando los monumentos, es totalmente diferente a la costanera y al Río de la Plata, pero igualmente emocionante por su encanto porteño tan particular. Recorrer los barrios parisinos típicos, como Montmartre, es tan conmovedor como anda

Nowadays' 40s aren't what they used to be

Nowadays’ 40s aren’t what they used to be. Progress made in science and thought, and the globalization boom have done away with the stereotypes and taboos which used to constrain women and men, and now women and men alike may face the new millennium with a more liberal and open mind.
The idea that a woman who is a mother may neglect her appearance and stop feeling attractive and that a 50-year old man must already have a defined path and can only but regret everything he didn’t do as a ‘young’ man has been left behind.
Quite the contrary, nowadays what prevails is the desire to innovate no matter the age, feeling happy and satisfied with ourselves at both spiritual and aesthetic level, and the desire to accomplish what we didn’t dare when younger because of fear or inexperienc

§ Appearances DON’T deceive.
§ You are perfect because you have imperfections, but nothing a surgery can’t fix
§ Appearances deceive the mind, not the heart. But if it makes us happier, why shouldn’t we improve them?

§ Human beings don’t enter through the heart’s entrance but through the eyes’ window.

Healthy US interest in ‘medical
tourism’
By Christopher Bowe in New York
Published: February 19 2008 22:37 | Last updated: February 19 2008 22:37
Two in five Americans would consider travelling abroad for a medical procedure if it cost half the US price and quality was at least equal, according to a Deloitte consumer health report published on Wednesday .
The data highlight the exploding interest in so-called medical tourism, where patients seek treatment for elective surgeries such as hip replacements available more cheaply overseas.

When looks limit your life
Everyone says that the best time of your life is when you go to high school; I could not understand the meaning of such statement that, until today, revolves around my head. Ironically, that was my worst stage, I wanted to lock myself in a room and never get out, at least until my acne was gone.
It is a complicated stage passing from childhood to the ever-feared teenage world, and everything that it implies: hormonal changes, first heartbreaks…turning into a woman. There I was, with my pimples and my hormones fighting to come out without knowing where to go.

Buenos Aires
has finally woken up to spring!
And the prima-vera has brought us warm sunny days, blue skies a light refreshing breeze - exactly the sort of weather I was dreaming about back in England before I left.
The Plenitas offices are in Belgrano, a prosperous, mostly residential area in the north of the capital. It is a lovely place to be in the sunshine and perfect for a quick stroll at lunch times, I can peer into the gardens of the more prosperous Portenos' homes if I want a break from the office.
The sunny weather has also introduced me to another great foody item here - and that is ice cream, or helado as they call it. The city is full of 'heladerias' which make their own icecream on site, and you can choose any combination of flavours,with a huge variety of

go abroad for dental
care
Two new surveys reveal why more people from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are going abroad for dental care.
A dental tourism survey by RevaHealth.com reveals high levels of satisfaction among the thousands of dental tourists questioned. RevaHealth.com is an Internet- based searchable database of over 200 healthcare providers in 30 different countries. Over 20,000 patients have used Dublin based RevaHealth.com since launch in 2007.
Patients who had travelled abroad to receive treatment revealed an average satisfaction rating of 84%, along with an average cost saving of £3200, or 60% of the cost of their treatment locally. More than 95% of respondents stated that cost was the main reason why they considered dental tourism in the first

Claro que tomar
la decisión de operarse no es
algo que se logre de un día al otro, hay muchas cosas que están en juego:
nervios, miedo, excitación, ansiedad y esperanzas, expectativas, sólo por
nombrar alguno de los sentimientos.
Por eso acá les contamos la historia de una
paciente que se animó al cambio, que las ganas de estar mejor le ganaron al
miedo. Mirta viajó a Buenos aires y llegó a Plenitas para quitarse
insatisfacciones que hacían que no pudiera disfrutar de una vida plena. Hoy,
después del cambio puede verse al espejo sin rodeos.“Ya estaba cansada de ir a comprarme ropa y que
nada me quedara bien. Siempre volvía a mi casa angustiada y enojada con mi
cuerpo. Por mi carrera profesional siempre tengo que estar bien vestida y mucho

The World of Beauty for Men
2008-04-24 16:03:00
Years ago you wouldn’t have thought of men being concerned about their appearance. Taking care of your body and having cosmetic surgery were only associated with women. Women searching for feeling well, being appealing to others and concerned about their well-being, whereas man’s world revolved only around football games and having a beer with friends. Far from that, nowadays, men, in being more appealing and dealing with aging in the best possible way, are becoming part of the world of grooming and aesthetics. Looking good, looking young and appealing is not only for women, it’s now a world that belongs to both men and women equally.Men taking care of their aesthetics means being willing to feel good, to gain more self-confidence, improve their appearance, feel more attractive and t

Buenos Aires through a german's eyes

What is so appealing about Buenos Aires
that millions of people choose it out of the rest of the world as a destination when it comes to enjoying themselves, resting and discovering a place where they will be greeted with wide arms open.According to the survey carried out by the National Secretariat of Tourism of Argentina (SECTUR), virtually nine out of ten tourists who visited Buenos Aries found “what they were expecting and even more” and considered that quality service improved or remained as good as in previous visits. The report, which covered virtually 800 cases, showed that more than 90% of the respondents said it is likely they come back to the country as a tourist. As we thought it would be “unethical”, in a matter of speaking, for an Argentinean to promote its own countr
