Healthy Changes Through Life: Doing a monthly breast self exam is the best way to stay familiar with the cyclical changes in your breasts. You will get to know the territory better than your health care team, and will spot changes easily. Having an annual clinical exam helps document your breast health, so keep a regular appointment set up for that! Between puberty and menopause, your breasts will go through many changes, which are affected by hormones, diet, and exercise. Most of these changes are natural and healthy!
Teen Years (Puberty): In the teen years, with the start of your monthly cycle, your body enters the maturing process, and you gain curves and may notice skin changes (such as acne) and even hair may change color or texture. Breast tissue is developing during this time too, and may be dense and firm to begin with, especially if you are small-breasted.Family Resemblance: At this stage, it’s not too early to know your family health history, so ask your female relatives (mother, aunts, grandmother) if they had any fibrocystic problems with their breasts, or any regular cysts. If so, it’s likely that you may experience those too. Not to worry – cysts are benign – but you want to know where they are, and if they come and go, so they can be distinguished from other features in your breasts.'
More Curves and Kids (Childbearing Years): After your body is prepared for motherhood, if you conceive and bear children, and also if you breastfeed the children, that will bring on more changes in your breasts, as well as in the rest of your body. Breasts may become larger and more tender during pregnancy, and may need more support. Don’t neglect your BSE during this time, stay familiar with the changes. Remember that pregnancy and breastfeeding will help combine to lower your risk of breast cancer.
Maturity (Menopause): Menopause also brings changes in your breasts, as your estrogen and progesterone levels drop, your breast tissue may become less firm and may drape differently than during your teen and child-bearing years. Keep up with your breast self exams in these years too, so that the normal changes are familiar to you. Less dense breast tissue will seem to have more lumps and bumps, but remember that 90% of breast lumps are benign.

If you haven’t got it, fake it.. Victoria Beckham
Introduction:
She is best known today as Mrs. David Beckham—and regularly hounded by the paparazzi because of it—but the fact is Victoria is one hot dame, and we wouldn’t mind a bit if she decided to be our English teacher.
Life Story:
Born Victoria Adams in proper Hertfordshire, England, Victoria joined the all-girl group Touch in 1994, along with Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. The group changed its name to the Spice Girls, and its first single, “Wannabe,” shot to number one in both the UK and the U.S. It would be followed by eight other number one hits from two legendary albums, Spice and Spiceworld. The group was one of the most successful pop acts of the ’90s, selling more than 55 million records worldwide, but after their third album, Forever, lasted anything but, the Spice Girls stopped recording, and Victoria began work on a solo career, spawning singles you don’t remember, like “Out of Your Mind” and “Not Such an Innocent Girl.”
In 1997 Victoria began dating Manchester United footballer David Beckham, and on July 4, 1999 in Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland, Posh and Becks tied the knot. Victoria has given birth to three Beckham boys: Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and both Brooklyn’s and Romeo’s godfather is Elton John. (Their godmother is also Elton John. Kidding! It’s Elizabeth Hurley.) In 2007, Victoria and the lads moved to Beverly Hills, California, after David signed to play soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Looking ahead, you might find Victoria pregnant again: Both she and David have stated they’d like to have another child—particularly a girl. There could also be another reality show or another book, and there’s a planned reunion tour for the Spice Girls. Obviously, Victoria has many things left to accomplish before she becomes Old Spice.
