Beauty Tip!!

Beauty Tip! Pick up a $2 bottle of red wine (Cabernet or Merlot) from Traders Joes or Whole Foods to bathe in (pour 1/2 or full bottle per bath)! If you have oranges, limes or lemons growing in your yard- slice a few and add to bath. Use the citrus to rub your body with while bathing.. Red wine is full of anti-aging antioxidants and the citrus brightens and smoothes the skin!  ENJOY!!

This is HILARIOUS!! You gotta watch this!! LOL

The difference between a mercury FREE and mercury SAFE dentist

The difference betwen a mercury Free and mercury SAFE dentist.

Dental Amalgam "silver" Fillings are made of up to 50% mercury In order to escape further harm from mercury exposure one must understand the difference between a mercury FREE and mercury SAFE dentist.   the mercury free dentist says... I don't place mercury amalgam fillings, therefore I am mercury FREE   This is MISLEADING. For if that dentist (and staff) POLISHES or REMOVES mercury amalgam "silver" fillings they are exposing their patient and staff members to HUNDREDS of micrograms worth of mercury vapor and mercury contaminated particulate matter.   http://www.mercuryexposure.info/occupational/mercury-exposure/item/576-inhalation-of-mercury-contaminated-particulate-matter-by-dentists-an-overlooked-occupational-risk   This of course can increase the harm to patient and staff as increased exposure to mercury = increased potential harm   The mercury SAFE dentist takes EVERY precaution to protect the patient, staff and the environment from harmful mercury vapors and mercury contaminated particulate matter.   http://www.mercuryexposure.info/occupational/solutions/item/556-iaomt-safe-amalgam-removal-video DO NOT GO TO A MERCURY FREE DENTIST, UNLESS THEY ARE MERCURY SAFE !

Not Just A Pretty Face » Blog Archive » The Dose Makes the Poison? We Know Better Now

http://notjustaprettyface.org/blog/the-d...

I’m working on my keynote talk for next week’s Sustainable Cosmetics Summit, and I got to thinking about the paradigm shifts in science that are changing the business of beauty. To sum it up: We didn’t used to know what we know now about the health risks posed by toxic chemicals. So, now that we know -

Organic Pomegranate Antioxidant Hydration SPF 20

 As you may know, I love the ultra pure, almost edible skincare line called 100% Pure, and I just tried their Organic Pomegranate Antioxidant Hydration SPF 20 – it’s divine! Of course the sunscreen protection is not chemical based and comes from Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, which blocks the sun’s harmful UVA (ultra violet aging) and UVB (ultra violet burning) rays.  And the ingredients that follow are an amazing blast of antioxidant protection.  In a base of organic aloe juice you’ll find pomegranate seed oil, white tea extract, rosemary leaf, oregano, thyme, grapefruit seed, goldenseal and cinnamon… and that’s pretty much all you’ll find!  Not a single nasty thing in there. All of these herbs are incredibly high in antioxidants. And besides slathering them onto your face, I recommend adding them to your diet. What you put inside can actually have a major effect on how well your outside reacts to the sun.

The other great thing about having such heavy hitter antioxidants in your sunscreen is that they not only protect your skin against the sun, but also against environmental damage (free radicals) such as pollution, radiation, smoke, smog, car exhaust, etc. I also love this moisturizer because it’s nice and light and rubs in easily, making it perfect for the summer.

Weather and Your Mood

Conventional wisdom tells us - or at least suggests – that our mood changes with the weather. But is it true? Does our mood really change with the coming and going of the sun or rain?
