A hot tub is like a large bath tub. A hot tub usually has room in it for four people or more. The hot tub is filled with hot water and used for relaxation, soaking and/or hydrotherapy. Many hot tubs will have water jets in them - these are jets of water underneath the water line which help to massage the people who are in the hot tub. Most hot tubs are located outside, but they can be placed indoors. If the hot tub is outside, special care is needed to ensure the hot tub is protected from the weather and that they are in a private, secluded location!

Health insurance has recently become a generic term that is synonymous with the terms accident insurance, sickness insurance and health insurance. Loosely put, it is insurance to cover healthcare costs.
In some countries, healthcare is provided free of charge; in others, no healthcare is provided. In both cases, some individuals may want to take out private health insurance. This involves filling in several forms and declarations, and then paying a premium each month to the health company. In the case of accident and sickness, subject to the terms and conditions laid down by the insurance company, they will pay for any medical treatment corresponding to the accident or illness.

Hair loss results in the state of baldness where hair fails to grow. The most common form of this is androgenic alopecia - more commonly known as male pattern baldness - which is a progressive hair thinning condition. The pattern varies greatly from person to person - some people may just experience hair thinning, whereas others will lose their hair all over their head. There are some treatments on the market, but the general concensus is that the more hair you have lost, the less successful treatment will be.

Cosmetic surgery is normally an elective form of surgery which is undertaken to reshape or enhance various bodily features to improve or maintain outward appearances.
Cosmetic surgery is sometimes known as plastic surgery, however plastic surgery is really surgery which is performed to repair or reconstruct defects or problems such as birth marks, trauma or tumours etc and is not normally a term used for elective surgery where the patient just wants to improve their appearance when there are no underlying problems.

Engagement rings are given to your partner when you ask them to marry you. The ring is normally quite fancy with precious or semi precious stones, and either a silver or gold band. Diamonds are the most popular stones to have in engagement rings. They are normally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand and remain there until you die or break up. When you get married, a wedding band will normally be worn on the same finger. Often, the wedding band and the engagement ring can be bought as a pair so that they match each other perfectly.
