$13 Billion Spent On Valentine's Day Hoopla Buys A Whole Lot Of Pain For Single Women: ?ber Singledom Helps Them Bounce Back

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 9, 2006

The National Retail Federation projects Valentine?s Day spending at a whopping $ 13.70 billion in consumer spending. No wonder retailers pound the consumer with advertising. This year the average consumer will spend $ 108 for gifts. For single women, each commercial, poster, billboard and display reminds her she?s alone. Not true, says LA Therapist, Phyllis Chase, MA, MFT, singles are the new majority.

?Valentine?s Day spent alone makes women feel unnecessarily unloved,? states Chase, founder of The Road to ?ber Singledom a program to help women love the life they have right now. ?We?re hosting a Valentine?s Recovery Workshop to help women bounce back from the unrealistic and continual bombardment of advertising that makes a woman feel like a loser if she is not in a relationship.?

According to the U.S. Census, there are 84 million unmarried adults; more unmarried singles than married couples, so why do women feel so isolated on this holiday? Chase believes, ?No matter how hard we try, women hold an unconscious belief that Prince Charming will arrive one day. When a woman hits her late 30?s and the carriage hasn?t arrived, she thinks something?s wrong with her.?

A practicing Los Angeles psychotherapist and co-host of Shrink Rap, a radio talk show that deals with psychological issues on LA radio?s KCSN 88.5 fm every Tuesday night from 6:30 to 7 pm. Phyllis Chase speaks to the heart of women: She?s created a Valentine?s Recovery Workshop for Sunday, February 19th at the Beverly Hills Country Club. This champagne brunch and program focuses on tools women can use to live a happy, super (?ber) life as a single woman today. Tickets are $ 75 which includes a Champagne brunch buffet and door prizes from Skin Care Solutions, Suddenly Slimmer, Princess House, Philippa?s Love Bites, Breathe Easy Yoga, Anastasia of Beverly Hills and DistinctivelyDiva.com. Register online at http://www.ubersingledom.com or call 310-402-8888 for more information.

?Being beautiful, accomplished, loving, funny and adored by others is a wonderful experience. To toss it all aside because your soul mate hasn?t arrived is a waste of a fantastic life,? says Chase. ?It?s time women stop kissing frogs and start leaping into their life. The brunch on February 19th is the perfect lily pad from which to start.?

The workshop covers practical techniques that Chase uses with women every day to jumpstart them back into LIVING life.

More Princess And The Frog Press Releases

Finally, Real Canadian bacon - Peameal back bacon Available in USA

(PRWEB) March 6, 2002

What is Real Canadian bacon?

Real Canadian bacon is back bacon, known as "Peameal Bacon" in Canada and was unique to Canada until now. Real Canadian bacon is made from main muscle boneless pork loins, short cut from the leaner portion of the loin to give a more uniform product. External fat is trimmed to within 1/8". It is then sweet pickle cured and rolled in the traditional golden cornmeal coating, giving it the Real Canadian bacon peameal trademark. This is not ?Canadian-style? bacon and is vastly different from what is commonly found in the United States. The term ?peameal? comes from the ground yellow peas with which the bacon was originally coated. This ensured better curing and shelf life and avoided bacterial problems. Over the years this tradition was changed to cornmeal, due to the availability of corn.

Why is Canadian bacon so famous?

Around the turn of the last century or as they say "during the war years", England had a pork shortage. They imported "side bacon" from Canada, smoked it and termed it ?Wiltshire Sides? in England. Due to this event Canadian bacon was made famous. Over time the United States believed that Canadian bacon was smoked back bacon although true Canadian bacon is not smoked. Our Canadian product is classified by the USDA as uncooked Canadian bacon and is Canadian #1 peameal back bacon.

And peameal bacon is healthy for you!

The National Pork Producers Council says, ??the leanest pork choice?is as lean as skinless chicken breast, with four grams of fat per serving. A serving of lean pork has 34% less cholesterol than skinless chicken.? This product is low in sodium, about 1% sodium per serving.

Ken Haviland, President of RCB Company, says, ?I couldn?t believe after talking to many of my online customers, that they've sometimes planned trips to Canada just to get peameal bacon and take back to the US. They said there?s nothing like Real Canadian bacon and the product that we shipped them was exactly what they expected.?

Now for the first time, the REAL Canadian Bacon Company offers authentic product direct from Canada?try some today! Available in the popular sliced style or dinnertime roast, exclusively at http://www.realcanadianbacon.com.

Step Back In Time and Embrace the 1930s

London, UK (PRWEB) November 10, 2011

Following Sunday?s premi?re of Madonna?s directorial debut W.E. ? a film tracing the infamous life and times of The Duke and Duchess of Windsor ?
