There are many fake items in market


We must be careful before using cosmetics. Now a days most of the cosmetics comes with artificial products, they may be harm to our self. We must consult with our physician or beauty consultant before using any cosmetic. They know about our health condition as well as body type and nature, so they will prescribe a good cosmetic to us based on our condition.

Some new products is good for us, but it may have some side effects, so avoid trying new cosmetic products without the proper suggestion of your beautician. We all use cosmetics to increase our beauty, some times it may give some negative results, so we must be very careful before selecting a cosmetic product. Better to use the product after seeing the result, i.e we may use the produce which is already used by our friends or relatives, but ask proper suggestion from the expert before trying this kind of products, it is your safer side

Fact or Fiction?: Stress Causes Gray Hair


The link between gray hair and psychological stress is far more than a folk story rather than a fact, it has not been supported by scientific studies to prove this claim. Wisdom and intelligence go hand in hand, gray hair is not part of it either.

Genes are the main factor in hair color and changes to hair. In the middle years, individuals take on more roles and responsibilities coinciding with the natural process of hair aging, giving the perception that stress can cause gray hair.

Notably, scientists haven't found a link between signs of aging and real aging in the body. They believe that it has something to do with genetics and very little to do with premature. Who among us here have gray hairs, by the way? :)

TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo Cleans well and smells great!

This post brought to you by TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I first started hearing about this dry shampoo trend that was happening. I was really skeptical. How could anything replace a good old-fashioned shampoo? However, with two kids, one in school and one just a year old, any chance I get to save a little time when it comes to working on my hair, I like to give it a try. So, with much hesitation I bought the TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I thought it worked fairly well in reducing the oiliness of my hair and it had a good smell to it. I would never use it to replace washing it with regular shampoo for an extended amount of time, but on days when you are in a hurry and just need a little refresher, it does the trick for sure. I definitely will keep it handy for those days that you need an extra few minutes and don't have the time to worry about what your hair looks like. Plus, it's not expensive, so I believe this is a really good product for the price.

The full line of TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo includes:

  • Strengthening Dry Shampoo: Formulated with B12 vitamins and keratin to help strengthen hair and leaves it full of healthy body.
  • Volumizing Dry Shampoo: With mineral clay and citrus, removes oil while injecting hair with salon-gorgeous volume.
  • Smoothing Dry Shampoo: Includes Vitamin H & Silk Proteins that refreshes your straight style by removing excess oil, impurities and odor to ensure your smooth look lasts.
  • Moisturizing Waterless Foam Shampoo: Formulated with Witch Hazel, Citrus, and Aloe Vera that refreshes your hair by removing excess oil, impurities and odor while moisturizing hair.

Not sure how to use it? Here are some tips to get the best results from TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo:

  • Shake well before use and in between spray bursts for best results.
  • Lift sections of dry hair and spray lightly at your roots
  • Spray in short bursts, holding the container about 8-12 inches from your head
  • Don’t spray it like hair spray (all over and continuously)
  • Leave it in for 1-2 minutes
  • Use your fingertips or a brush to distribute the product evenly
  • If clogging occurs, remove and rinse the nozzle under warm water, then reattach. (It's very easy)

This post brought to you by UPromise. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have been a member of this site for years. I also have the UPromise credit card. I think this site is very helpful. Since the site is free to join, you get money for free. Some people have said it isn't worth the little bit of money you receive. But even the little bit of money is helpful. 

Plus the money they deposit toward a student loan is considered interest paid - which is tax deductible!

I have a few family members signed up, but they aren't as diligent as I am about using the site for purchases. But I am thankful for whatever they do to help!

Tiger

Dratted cat. I had the peeing problem all cleaned up. Tiger was confined to the large bedroom because we were pretty sure it was him, and because I'm meal feeding him, trying to get his weight down.

Thing is, I'm "separated" in my own house, and R has the bedroom. Sometimes the cat gets hungry at 2 am. So instead of putting a wee bit of food down, or throwing the cat in the bathroom, he opens the door.

Sure enough, this morning, I find pee in one of the spots that had been a problem.

If I tell R, about the pee, I will get the predictable, "I don't have a problem putting the cat to sleep."

Well how about this? YOU sleep in the bonus room. YOU shower downstairs. I'll deal with the cat?

But I digress.

Tiger never, ever pees on the carpet in the bedroom. He uses the litter box. So I know it's not a medical problem. And we've used some pretty powerful products to get the urine out. I suppose I could put up another electric thingie. That kept the problem out of the living room for a long time. But I think I'm dealing with attitude here more than anything. Dumb cat.

Long wait at bank!

Just wondering ,why do banks have so many teller windows when only a few are used. Every time I go to my local bank I have to stand and stand in line and see at least twice to three times as many closed windows as ones that actually have tellers at them.

So I have wondered why even have that many if they never intended to use them? any
ideas? oh yes I could go to the ATM machines but again there isn't place to put my purse or bank book or ATM card while I am pushing buttons. And like most people I only have two hands. Also I have to use a quad cane to balance myself, so going to a teller window is easier for me if I do not have to wait in long lines for a half hour or more. Rant over.

Water Intake during Meals

You must not drink water after a meal; you cannot drink water before a meal? I first read a blog posts saying you will get cancer if you drink ice water after a meal, now someone else says you should not drink water an hour before a meal, I suppose next someone will make a discussion you cannot drink water with your meal, it will cause gout or some other thing. Where do these people get their information? Do you just believe a statement like that because someone says you should not do this? How about if it makes common sense or not? Your opinions please! I personally drink water before after and during a meal t o get my 8 to 10 glasses in a day as my doctor has admonished me to do so. Also if my blood sugar is too high I drink water to bring it down to normal.

With a new mobile solution called Straight Talk, you get Everything you need without the lengthy contracts and large monthly bills.

I Have a Samsung straight talk phone and i love it. The monthly plan saves me alot money throughout the year and I am getting alot of features. Like mobile web, downloads, ringtones, apps, It also has a camera so I can take pictures.

For 45 dollars a month, I get unlimited everything, unlimited calls to directory assistance, unlimited text messaging, and all the talk time I want with no hidden fees. I love it! I am paying ALOT less, and do not regret getting this. I know that I don't ever have to worry about any hidden fees, I just go in once a month, and buy my 45 dollar card to refill. They also have plans where you can pay close to 200 dollars for like 6 months unlimited everything, that's less than one month of a contracted plan. I think I am getting the six month plan next, since I like it so much.

Straight Talk’s Hook, line and sinker deal gets even better as they use only the trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung. So you can replace your old conventional cell phone with the latest smart phones in the market.

Tracfone is OK!

This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.

<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qDbhrCU19j0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I count myself among Real TracFone customers.

When it comes to phones they have those brand name phones from leading manufacturers like Motorola, Kyocera, LG, Nokia and Samsung which was packed with So many features like camera/video recorder, web access, app capabilities, mp3 player, and full QWERTY keyboard, for $29.99.

Their phone plans range from pay as you go online, to one year of service for only $119.00, or you can get monthly plans that start under $30.00 a month. And on the monthly or yearly plans you can even double your minutes for the life of the phone for only $19.99.

I bought the cheapest little Nokia cell phone from Tracfone a number of years ago, and I loved it!

Later, I passed it on to my hubby, who had never had ... or wanted ... a cell phone. He has learned to appreciate its usefulness, especially when he is working out in the country, miles from anywhere.

I moved up to an LG flip phone with a camera, and enjoyed using it for a couple years, until it died recently.

I just replaced it with a Samsung slide model with a camera. It is totally different from my previous phones, so I have to learn how to use it from scratch ... so far, so good.

I don't use the cell phone all that much, but like having the ability to call for directions, or to let someone know I'm going to be late, etc.  And, after dark, in emergencies, I've even used it as a flashlight to help me locate things in my purse, or the keyhole in a lock, etc.

Reception with Tracfone has always been great, and I've yet to suffer a dropped call.  On car trips of several hundred miles, I've always had better luck with my simple Tracfones than my sister has with her fancy high-priced phones with all the bells and whistles! Several times, she's had to borrow my phone to make calls because her phone wasn't getting reception, and mine was!
