Mineral Makeup, the buzz

Mineral makeup may be new to you, but it has been around for three decades. Mineral makeup was used originally by plastic surgeons and dermatologists on patients after cosmetic procedures. Mineral makeup is made from pure, crushed minerals that allows the skin to breathe and, gives you a natural look. Mineral makeup comes in powdered, pressed and liquid forms. It's ideal for most skin types, tones and women of all ages.
It's also important to read labels to ensure you are getting pure mineral makeup.
Benefits:

Save your sole

Athlete's foot, tinea pedis, not a pleasant subject, but necessary to reveal. Athlete's foot is a very common fungal infection and if not addressed right away and correctly it can spread to the toenails. Common symptoms include: burning, itching of the feet and peeling of skin in between the toes. It can be picked up while at the gym, or in a motel shower or even at a public swimming pool.
People with diabetes and those who have other circulatory problems, are in danger of the infection getting worse, to the point of gangrene if not caught and treated.
A good homeopathic remedy can be found on our website: www.floridaspagirls.net

Electronic Cigarettes; are they safe?

You may or may not have heard or seen them yet, but they are coming to a store near you, and your kids.

If you think electronic cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes, think again! According to CNN, manufacturers claim that electronic cigarettes – also known as e-cigarettes and e-smokes – are safer because they don’t burn tobacco. The small cylinders look like cigarettes and contain cartridges of nicotine, flavoring and other chemicals, and when you “puff” on them, a small battery heats the chemicals to produce a fine mist that can be inhaled. The result: Users feel like they’re smoking while they get their nicotine fix. Some e-cigarettes complete the illusion with a glowing red tip that emits puffs of odorless white vapor. Since there’s no toxic second-hand smoke, e-cigarettes can be used where regular cigarettes are prohibited.

Are they safe? No. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration analyzed 19 varieties of e-cigarettes and found that half of them contain nitrosamines - the same cancer-causing chemicals found in real cigarettes. A lot of them also have more nicotine than they claim and some even contain a toxic ingredient found in antifreeze! Even worse, critics say that e-cigarettes target gadget-crazy kids. The nicotine cartridges come in “fun flavors” – like chocolate, mint, cola, apple, and bubblegum, and they’re available at kid-friendly hangouts, including online and at shopping malls.

Momnificent review

I recently came across this jewel, Momnificent! Great for reading while relaxing at home or while waiting somewhere (maybe even at the spa). Momnificient is a thorough book written by Lori Radun, for women about how to achieve balance and a health in spite of our chaotic schedules, demands and responsibilities.
Momnificent offers a wealth of information from managing your finances to communicating with your children. She evens offers pearls of wisdom from her treasure trove about business and lessons she learned as an entrepreneur. "Life is a constant learning process," explains Radun, about being a student of people to managing the stress in your life. At the end of each chapter, Radun offers an assignment to her readers to take action.
We all know that "Time Management" is an oxy-moron, but if we pay attention to our activities and what are our "time stealers", we can better manage our activities and prioritize our work and other projects. Radun has a chapter dedicated to time and how we can be more productive.
From personal development to home and family to relationships and careers, Radun takes the gloves off to help you in any or all areas of your life. Release stored emotions, before the storm hits, advises Radun.
Radun also offers practical advise about how to teach children about money and allowances. Developing a plan is key in all areas of life. She also talks about planned recreation time for each person individually as well as family recreation. This book can probably be read in any order, however, I do recommend reading the introduction and chapter 1, first and doing the exercises.
This is even great for a book club or workshop, to read a chapter a day or more, and get together to discuss what they found out about themselves, or how this may be helping them and their family.
Order you copy today, The Momnificent Life by Lori Radun, coach, speaker and author.
