One of the main physical characteristics that are usually prevalent in men is the presence of upper lip hair or moustache. This usually appears during puberty when the sex hormones begin to take effect and continues on for the reminder of a man's life. However, this doesn't mean that it is only exclusive in men. Some women also tend to produce hair on their upper lip because of excessive production of androgen. This becomes a source of problem since the presence of upper lip hair is usually connected to being men. This is why women who have this look for various methods of upper lip hair removal that can guarantee longer - lasting results.

Shaving is a cheap and easy option since it is the one that is used mostly by men. Razors can easily be acquired from any store and this can be done even in a public toilet. However, this doesn't often produce a very smooth effect which can give a worse effect for women than having an unshaved upper lip hair. Also, the results don't last long and the hair has a tendency to grow thicker so shaving must be done everyday. Include the possibility of burns and cuts and this makes this option unattractive to women especially to those who have a very significant amount of upper lip hair.

The use of depilatories such as creams and gels can help a lot in upper lip hair removal. This method is more appropriate for women because it is easier to do, doesn't result in cuts and has more longer - lasting effects. This can be applied directly on the upper lip area and then washed off after a given period of time. The hair disintegrates with the cream so it falls off by itself. However, women must remember to use depilatories that are made especially for the face. This is because the face can prove to be a very sensitive area and this requires depilatories that are not that harsh or strong as the ones that are used on other parts of the body. In some cases, irritation appears especially for those who are using this method for the first time but this can be easily resolved.

In spite of all these, wax hair removal possesses some advantages that make it still a top choice among all the methods that are available. Aside from the fact that it is really quite effective, it produces effects that can really last a long time. This can last in weeks as compared to some methods which only last for days. This is due to the inclusion of the root when pulling out the hair. This results to a slower rate of growth as compared to removing only the top portion. Also, the hair that grows back has a tendency to be finer making it easier to do the process again during the next time. It can remove large amounts of hair at a time and it can be used on almost any parts of the body. These factors make hair removal by wax a very popular choice.

These are the three most common methods that are used in removing any sign of upper lip hair in women. Aside from these three, there are still other methods that can be used such as plucking, threading and electrolysis. All of these guarantee a woman's freedom from unwanted upper lip hair.

Have you ever Googled Google on Google? It's more common than you might think.
This strange search trend is becoming more and more popular over time, as evidenced from the graph below. Google users Googling Google on Google seems to most happen when Google is in the news, which makes sense.
Most recently, the release of Google executive Wael Ghonim in Egypt led to a spike in Google searches for "Google."

The interesting thing about Googling Google is it requires some effort. When you type the letter "g" in Google, Google suggests "gmail" first, followed by "google maps," "google.com," and "google translate." Even when you type "Google," those top three suggests stay the same, followed by "google earth," and finally "google."
So why do people do it besides the news? Well, for one, maybe they're trying to have some fun. Maybe they just want to see what results would come up. Or, maybe, they've heard the rumor that Googling Google breaks the Internet.
Seriously. If you check forums, such as Yahoo Answers, questions are asked based on the rumor like this one: "Is it true you can break the Internet by googling google?" The top answer encourages the questioner to try Googling Google, and then adds, "However, I heard that if you yahoo yahoo, you'll die in 7 days."
But the best answer to the question is on WikiAnswers. In response to "Will Googling Google really break the Internet," someone says the following:

No. In fact, I google google using google a googol amount of times every day and I get results about other people googling google while using google and when im done googling with google I google on google maps to find googols of maps about google and then I google google videos of google which demonstrate google and how to google it and when Im finally done I google with google while I blog about having googled using google and if you google a googol amount of times you will find this blog about me googling about google using google to illustrate how my daily life of googling works.

Another possibility for the trend: in some Web browsers, like Firefox and Safari, some accidentally Google Google in a search bar at the top simply because they are trying to access the Google website. The same may be true for some mobile browsers.
These are some reasons people might Google Google. Let us know in the comments if you have your own theories and we'll add some of the best ones to this post. And make sure you take our poll below!

There is a diet for everything: low carbohydrate, high fat, high protein, the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet, and more. Ask any doctor, and he or she will probably tell you that there are certain foods that will further irritate a condition called rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of the joins and surrounding tissues). So the diet to prevent that irritation, and to hopefully control the condition, is called the rheumatoid arthritis diet. However, it is important to note that every individual is different; a food that might negatively affect one individual might not necessarily affect another. This is just a general list that may help you reduce flare ups!

Foods to Avoid
Studies show that certain fats can cause inflammation in the body.

Saturated fat is one of these, so avoiding foods that are high in saturated fat, more specifically, animal foods, can help you avoid unnecessary flare ups. Not only are the fats in bacon, steak, cream, and butter saturated, but these foods also contain chemicals called prostaglandins that cause inflammation, swelling, pain, and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. Some studies have also concluded that meat also has another substance called arachidonic acid, which is a fatty acid that gets converted into prostaglandins. Some people with rheumatoid arthritis find it beneficial to avoid meat.

Omega-6 fatty acids are another fat that might cause inflammation in the body. It is present in vegetable oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, and wheat germ oil. The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diets of most people is too much omega-6 to omega-3; this is said to be the contributing factor to this inflammation, so eating more omega-3 fatty acids will reduce this risk for inflammation.

Food allergies. If you are sensitive to certain foods, such as foods that cause an allergic reaction, it is important to eliminate these from the diet because it puts strain on the immune system every time you eat these foods. This could include wheat products, milk products, and synthetic preservatives/additives; of course, this will vary per individual.

Eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and chili peppers. The theory here doesn’t have sound scientific proof, but some people have found that these foods aggravate the pain of rheumatoid arthritis. The thing they all have in common is that they are nightshade plants.

Other foods. The following foods can be harmful for rheumatoid arthritis, so reducing them or eliminating them from the diet can be beneficial. They include fried foods, processed foods, tea, coffee, dairy products, berries and other citrus fruits, excessive salt, and alcohol.

Foods to Eat
Omega-3 fatty acid foods are beneficial because this fat is said to balance out the effects of omega-6 fatty acid. They have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. Omega-3’s are present in cold-water fish (like salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, and trout), nuts, tofu, soybean products, flaxseed and flax oil, avocado and avocado oil, walnuts, almonds, and canola oil.

Fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Some studies show that a diet high in fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes can be beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis. All of these categories of food are high in phytonutrients, which are chemicals in plants that have disease-fighting properties and antioxidants; antioxidants are good for the immune system and fight damaging free-radicals that can damage healthy tissue. They are present in vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and selenium.

Bioflavonoids are also substances present in plant foods that have anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor characteristics.

Weight Loss
Dropping extra weight can be good for the bones and joints because it alleviates some of the strain put on them, particularly on the hips, knees, heart, and more areas. Being overweight or obese puts unnecessary strain on these areas and can cause more inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
