Rejuvenating Powers of the Dead Sea
Truth in advertising is a foreign view for some of today’s businesses. They will say anything; do anything to win their product sold. Some simply stretch the truth, while others blatantly lie. They are clever at what they do. Using the psychology of pricing, they establish a cost just high enough to “trick” the consumer into believing that it surely must work, if it costs that much. They package the product well and employ some pretty good advertising gimmicks like “money back guarantee.”
As seen on TV products tend to be the worst of the lot, which is too bad because, the truth is some these products actually work well. The trick is weeding out the poor ones to get to the good ones. I’ve taken on that task in an effort to help you – - the consumer – - consume your retail dollars well. I’ve expanded my focus to also cover products sold by television retailers like Home Shopping Network and QVC. Read the rest of this entry
So many people suffer from acne, hyperpigmentation, and other skin woes unnecessarily. There are natural, affordable remedies to these problems, and most can be cleared up within a matter of weeks. Give the following suggestions a try before shelling out big bucks for a dermatologist:
WATER
I’m listing water first because it’s probably the most well-known thing we can do to support our skin and keep it sure. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin or problem skin, you NEED water. Our skin’s hydration begins inside of us, and water is the only way to do that effectively. Water flushes toxins and impurities out of our bodies as well so it is critical to healthy skin. Water keeps our kidneys and liver functioning properly so it’s necessary to keeping our insides healthy. The recommended amount varies according to the source, but many suggest drinking half your weight in ounces of water. (Example: If you weight 100 lbs., drink 50 oz. of water since 100/2 = 50). Sugary drinks and carbonated beverages should be avoided when possible. Green tea and white tea are wonderful antioxidants. They help maintain youthful, healthy skin.

Every ounce of water on the earth’s surface has been a part of the ocean at one time or another. The oceans have become primary sources of economic livelihood. Many maritime industries throughout the world, including fishing, shipbuilding, transportation, and recreation depend on the oceans. They are the highways for commercial and passenger ships. However, it has become evident that pollution could burden future generations with dangerous and irreversible environmental damage.
Human beings discharge hundreds of thousands of tons of waste into the oceans every day. This pollution takes the form of raw and treated sewage, garbage, industrial wastes, deadly chemicals and heavy metals, radioactive waste, and oil. Each kind of waste can create its own type of danger. The heavy (or stamp) metals (Cd, Cs, Pb, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Hg) are by products of manufacturing, which enter the marine environment through ocean and wind currents, sewage, and runoff from land, and through geochemical cycling from sediments into the marine food chain. Brand metals are by products of the manufacturing and ocean dumping of a host of items including automobiles, airplanes, batteries, and arms (e.g., explosives, nerve gases, and biological warfare agents). Similarly, plastics of all kinds are well known to entangle marine organisms and also may be ingested as plastic pellets, causing marine life to obtain full stomachs, but no nutrition. Nearly all are bio-concentrated in the oceanic food chain. Read the rest of this entry
When choosing bath and body products, including bath bombs and bath fizzies, consumers have thousands of options, from mom-and-pop soap companies to approved companies like Lush. The problem? Most of us are outmoded to visiting the grocery store or pharmacy and picking a shampoo or hand lotion based on the claims on the front: for dry skin, for maximum curl, for all-day sun protection. Bath bombs and bath fizzies aren’t usually labeled this blueprint. Read on for how you can interpret the ingredients list and choose the bath bomb that’s right for you.
