San Diego Neck Tightening

Destin in third as PCB named top beach in Florida by The Weather Channel

PANAMA CITY BEACH — The timing was perfect.

As the area moves into the crucial summer tourism season, The Weather Channel has named Panama City Beach the best beach in Florida and one of the top five beaches in the country.

“It couldn’t have come at a better time for us,” said Buddy Wilkes, chairman of the Bay County Tourist Development Council (TDC).

Al Roker talks about the best beaches in PCB.

As the economy has tightened, and as the Internet has gained traction for vacation surfers, bookings are coming later and later in the age of the website, Wilkes said.

There are still a lot of room reservations to be made along the beach this summer, he said, “and this will certainly help.”

The Weather Channel posted an online poll for a week on its Facebook page and asked viewers to rate beaches in five areas of the country: Florida; East Coast (except Florida); Gulf Coast (except Florida); West Coast; and Great Lakes.

In Florida, Panama City Beach took the No. 1 spot, followed by Daytona Beach and Destin.

"We also want to highlight Destin, Fla., which got a HUGE number of write-in votes! Destin is located on Florida's panhandle and the weather plays a huge role in creating its unique beaches," The Weather Channel Web site reported. "The city is actually located on a peninsula separating the Gulf of Mexico from the Choctawhatchee Bay. It was originally an island, but hurricanes and sea level changes gradually connected the island to the mainland, making it a peninsula!"

Other beaches around the country ranked in the top five were Nags Head, N.C.; Gulf Shores, Ala.; Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island, Mich.; and Coronado Beach, San Diego, Calif.

Dan Rowe, TDC executive director, said the poll was particularly significant because it was decided by lovers of weather, beaches and the outdoors. Fans of The Weather Channel know where to go for a good time, he said.

“This is an incredible honor for Panama City Beach,” Rowe said. “Especially to have The Weather Channel Facebook fans ranking us the highest, people who come to the beach, who have an interest in weather.”

The Weather Channel said Panama City Beach took the top Florida spot because, “with its wide beaches filled with white sand and emerald green waters, there's no doubt why people flock to this small beach town.

“Hit the beach at night (make sure you're away from the lights),” it continued, “and you may just catch a loggerhead or green turtle coming ashore to lay eggs.

I got an ideas: Neck Skin Tightening Exercises

No one likes to have loose skin on their body, let alone their neck. No one wants to be known by the double chin that they have, or the lines and folds beneath their chin. However, sometimes, it is an unavoidable circumstance. Rapid weight loss, surgery , aging or obesity can lead to the neck skin becoming extremely loose, and inelastic. The skin looks old and becomes extremely soft. In such cases, you do have the option of getting surgery or applying lotions and creams to help the neck skin become firm and tight. Or you can also indulge in some neck skin tightening exercises, which will work in tandem with the other treatments that you're undergoing, to tighten your loose neck skin. This Buzzle article will list some of these simple exercises for you. Have a look. Chin to Chest : This first exercise can be done by you as the first thing in the morning. Once you wake up, place your head, facing the ceiling, on the side of the bed (your head should not have a support). Now, slowly, open your mouth wide and lift your head up and try to touch your chin to your chest. Once you've lifted your head, hold that position for about 10 counts, then slowly, take your head back to its original position. Repeat this exercise as many times as you are comfortable doing it. Start slowly and proceed to about 10 to 12 times every morning. Lift the Lip : You can maybe do this exercise when you're in the shower or shopping or anywhere at all. It's the most common and the simplest exercise to tighten the loose skin on your neck. Stretch your lower lip and completely cover your upper lip with it. Hold the position for about 7 counts, then release your lips. Wait for about 7 counts before you repeat the exercise. Do it about 12 times at a stretch, at least 4 times a day to help your neck skin get tight and firm. Look Up and Down : This next exercise, you can perform, perhaps at your desk when at work. Lean back on your chair, and turn your head upwards to face the ceiling. When you reach this position, press your tongue firmly to the roof of your mouth. Hold this position until you feel your neck muscles tightening. When you do, lower your chin once and then lift it again. Repeat this about 5 times, then relax for about 10 counts before resuming. You can do this exercise as many times as you want. Jut the Chin Out : Sit straight on a chair and place your hands on your thighs.
