'This might sound gross...!' Pregnant Holly Madison reveals she plans to EAT her placenta (but only after turning it into pills)

As their due dates near it's not unusual for expectant mothers to make a birth plan.
And Holly Madison's might surprise some - she wants to save her placenta to be made into pills to 'help her recover' from the birth.
The reality star made the admission on her blog where she also asked other mothers for their advice.

Celebrity trend: Holly Madison has revealed she plans to have her placenta turned into pills she can take following the birth of her first child

‘This might sound gross, but I’m totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth,’ she wrote.
‘I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can! Have any other moms out there done this?’
The 33-year-old former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner also posted her plans on her Twitter page in order to reach out to her followers who may be able to shed light on the practice.

Reaching out: Holly revealed her plans on her website and asked fellow mothers for advice

Ready to pop: Her due date is March 8 but Holly isn't slowing down and was seen at the Million Dollar Quartet opening night on last week

If new mothers choose the option they have the practitioner make the pills in front of them, so they can be sure the placenta is their own.
Holly would not be the first celebrity mother to eat her placenta for its nutritious benefits.
After the birth of her son Xander, January Jones widely spoke about how about how she had eaten hers, although she was unsure at first.
The actress told People Magazine: 'It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're only the only mammals who don't ingest our own placentas. It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!'

Against the clock: Holly is rushing to get her nursery finished before she goes into labour

Chinese herbalists among others believe that re-ingesting the protective layer that connects the baby to the wall of the uterus is a great way to nourish the body following childbirth.
The placenta contains high levels of oxytocin, and as hormone levels drop after giving birth, is believed to be a good way to replace them, which can prevent postpartum depression.
Holly may be ready to pop but the blonde is still sporting heels and attending parties ahead of the arrival of her first child with Pasquale Rotella.
And the star is rushing to get the nursery ready before she goes into labour, posting a photo of the half-finished room to her blog last week along with the words: 'Making progress painting my nursery . . . I wonder if I will finish in time!'

Following suit: January Jones, pictured on Saturday, spoke widely about eating her placenta following the birth of her son Xander

Landscape Oil Paintings Is Perfect Fit For The Living Room

When it comes to enhancing a lot of homes, art is a central topic. Although choices are endless when it comes to pieces you may enhance the living room with, oil paintings always seem to be the most appropriate when hung where they might be properly loved. Each painting draws attention to the stories that they are able to tell. Quite often, the landscapes are not static but alive with motion or an evocative mood. They make excellent focal points or conversation pieces in a living room, and selecting prints, replicas or even an original by an up and coming painter isn't too hard so long as you know where to look.

In addition to being art pieces, originals can be great investments that can do more than basically sit there and be treasured, while reproductions, prints, and other forms of reproduction still serve are the more accessible option for those who desire to get art into their living room and residence. Whether you are a significant art enthusiast or just looking for a way to bring attractive art as part of your interior decor topic will determine if you should go with a simple print or an original by a modern up-and-coming artist. The department store's residence decor section is a quick source for inexpensive prints. Reproductions and originals however may either be obtained from galleries or from the artist's themselves. Remember that there are quite a few distinct styles of painting and you may gravitate to a few specific styles or color schemes depending on your tastes or enhancing needs. The size of the oil painting will also matter so make certain that it is appropriate for the size of the living room that you plan to put it in. This will also help you narrow down any reproductions or originals that you will be looking at for your search for the perfect landscape oil painting.

Whether you buy a replica or original, take into account that oil paintings require special attention to prevent the colors from degrading or the canvas from becoming damaged eventually. To keep the edges of the canvas covered and to properly admire the texture, make certain that the paintings are framed without glass. Although glass might protect from dust, it might essentially damage the delicate oils if they come in contact with each other. Avoid placing the paintings in direct sunlight and try to keep them in cleaner surroundings away from smoke and dust sources. Use a soft-bristled paint brush to lightly dust the surface for the inevitable film of dust that will collect. Using a strength vacuum on low setting with a brush attachment is also okay.

Indeed, presenting the piece of art the guests and visitors is one of the areas where otherwise newcomers to the art world tend to stumble. There is an assumption among newcomers to oil painting especially one that is within the landscape paintings, does not need a special frame.

At the heart of selecting the best landscape art lies one key concept : patience. The root of selecting good piece of Landscape Art is treated as aesthetic quality. In other words, one can't rush picking a frame for landscape paintings. Given that landscape paintings tend to have no "movement" visible, it's even more important to highlight and showcase their great qualities even more than one would for other types of paintings.

Another thing one has to remember that selecting a frame for hanging the artwork on wall is all about selecting something that will complement the art it surrounds, not be the star of the show. One of the biggest mistakes that people make is that they go for a frame that totally overshadows the art, making it look very tacky and out of place. The background colour of the Wall is to be perfect which will automatically enhance the beauty of the artwork. The first visitor, of course, will be lured by the grandeur of the painting and sometimes might be spellbound.

Sometimes according to the best landscape art the frame is not important whether it is cheap.
Overall, buying the Landscape Art for any kind of Interior decoration proves once again the sense of beauty and aesthetic sense the people feel by heart.

Landscape is probably the most universal visual art. The symbolic meaning of abstract landscape artwork is related to the natural elements present in the scene depicted. The sun or is the most basic symbol in existence. The sun is the source of warmth and life. One viewed the sun as symbolic of the psyche. The colours associated with the sun are yellow and gold. The sun is the masculine principle and is related to time. Many religions have used the image of the sun as a symbol of spiritual illumination and wholeness. Other cultures view the sun as a symbol of the masculine principle or God Himself.
