November 14 is World Diabetes Day, says the International Diabetes Federation. November--in the shadow of holiday feasts-- is a good time to raise awareness about sugar diabetes and associated health dangers. There are two kinds of diabetes. Type 1, "juvenile diabetes" says Diabetes.org, is diagnosed in childhood typically. Type 2 you typically get from poor lifestyle habits--being overweight, eating too much junk, exercising too little.

Free Printable Astrology Signs of the Zodiac Tattoo Patterns and Coloring Pages
I don't have any tattoos myself, nor do I think they're particularly stylish. But like it or not, tattooing is crazy-popular. A frequent design for tattoos are individual horoscope symbols. The signs of the zodiac distinguish which star pattern or constellation a person is born under. The 12 symbols, or signs of the zodiac roughly follow the 12 months of the Gregorian or western calendar. The study of stars and their effect upon human behavior is called astrology. Predicting the future based upon stars and star symbols is called reading a horoscope. The names for the constellations and signs of the zodiac come from the Latin and the symbols are indicated in Greek.

Why Girls Should Not Wear Sexy Clothes
Girls shouldn't wear sexy clothes. I'm not talking morals or modesty here. I'm not saying sexy clothes make women vulnerable to predators (that's another issue). I don't mean showing a little skin or occasionally dressing sexy. I'm saying that wearing overly sexualized clothes all the time stems from underlying psychology problems.I don't mean psycho-sexual disorders such a nymphomania. What I am speaking of is nothing like nymphomania, if there even is such a condition, which my research leads me to doubt.
Women who show their bodies constantly usually have low self-esteem. Female anatomy, especially breasts, have become a status symbol. Big boobs get attention and admiration, from both genders. Girls with smaller breasts covet big ones. They value themselves on breast size. Many believe big boobs are the only way to attract guys. Hence the crowds of women seeking breast implants.
I hate the word "boobs." Breasts are for nursing babies. Calling them "boobs" (or worse) mocks and devalues women's bodies and women by association.
I'm concerned for girls who are taught to use their bodies as tools. I worry about women who can't see their own worth, outside of sexual attraction. I'm not saying it's wrong to make ourselves attractive. I'm just concerned about the motivation behind it.
Women aren't objects. Dressing in revealing clothes we objectify ourselves. I fear for girls who dress provocatively to get male attention. It's not the fault of men alone. We women communicate wrong body messages to each other--beginning with the most vulnerable and precious--our daughters.
Fashions come and go. In my utopia where everyone is psychologically healthy and emotionally stable, we are the masters of fashion, not slaves to it. For more of my ramblings on emotional health, stop by and see me at www.emotionalhealthhelp.blogspot.com.
