This weekend, I attended the Association of Bridal Consultants Florida State Conference, where one of the seminars was a CPR certification class. Almost 3,000 people die in the U.S. each year due to choking. The good news is, the Heimlich Manuever, the traditional treatment for choking, is extremely effective in saving thousands of lives each year. However, there is one catch: You have to ask for help!
We were told that more women suffer from choking (probably because we talk so much while eating so fast!) but more men die from choking. The reason? Men won't ask for help. They go somewhere, usually the restroom, and think that they can use their finger to dislodge the food they are choking on. 90% of men who die of choking do so on a bathroom floor, alone.
Please pass this message along to all the men in your life! If you are interested in CPR/Rescue Breathing/Choking Rescue classes in North Florida, check out the local American Red Cross website.
What bride doesn't want to have great hair for their hairstylist to brag about on their wedding day? Even though you may not be doing your hair on your big day, it's still nice for the stylist to have an easy-to-work with mane that isn't overdried or full of breakage.
There are tons of hair care products that claim to reduce the wear and tear that daily conditions put on your hair. While some of those may actually live up to what they say, you are really in control of the majority of damage that your tresses undergo. You ask, "How is that?" Well, my friend, it all comes down to heat exposure. If you are the kind of gal that takes a hot shower every day, followed by blow drying and straightening and/or rolling, chances are you're hair could stand a break.
