Cold Weather Makeup Advice

By Makeup Girl

Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to put on your eyeliner and mascara when the weather turns colder? When it gets colder, your mascara can be a little stiffer coming out of the tube making a smooth application next to impossible. Maybe your eyeliner seems to be almost frozen solid. It doesn't take much to make your eyeliner harder which makes putting it on really difficult. Colder weather can pose a few problems for eye makeup application, but I have a few makeup tips that I've learned and I hope will you apply your eye makeup a little easier this winter.

The key to a smooth eyeliner application is to have it be the right temperature. It is so frustrating when eyeliner is too cold and hard and doesn't seem to want to go on. The exciting thing is that each of us has a secret weapon; our bodies. Your body heat has just the right effect on your eye makeup to get it to the perfect temperature without over warming it. If you just stick your eyeliner right next to your hip letting the elastic on your pants hold it to your body, after a few minutes, it will be ready. I always do my hair while my eye liner warms up.

The same idea works for your mascara. When mascara gets too cold, it gets thicker and clumpier and while thick might be the look you want on your lashes, clumpy definitely is not. To fix the problem, simply use the same trick you used with the eyeliner. Your body temperature will warm up the mascara to perfection in no time. It might take a little bit longer than the eyeliner, but it will be worth it when it goes on your lashes smooth and clean.

The key to beautiful lashes is a nice curl to them. So my final tip will help you get a great curl in your lash. Just like previous tips mentioned, getting the right curl involves warming your eyelash curler. You wouldn't expect your hair to curl on a cold curling iron would you? Just as your hair curls best on a warm curling iron, your eyelashes will curl best on a warmed eyelash curler. You can use your body heat to warm your eyelash curler too.

Sometimes, when I don't have much time, I will use my blow dryer to warm the curler. Be sure to just use it on low heat for only a few seconds and then test the curler to make sure it is not too hot so it doesn't damage your sensitive eye area. So this winter, when the cold sets in, try out these makeup tips to help you make the most of your makeup and look your best. - 15359

How do you choose a cell phone and calling plan that is right for you? Over the life of your phone, the calling plan service will cost much more than the phone itself-especially if the phone is free. You should choose the most cost-effective calling plan from a carrier with good coverage in your area. With all the competition for subscribers among carriers, monthly and per-minute costs of wireless calling has gone down dramatically.

Subscribers can keep their existing wireless phone number and even their landline based numbers when transferring or starting service with a new carrier. With the right calling plan, a wireless phone shouldn't cost much more than a landline phone. Every day more people are switching to wireless and giving up their landline service altogether.

There are a few terms you need to be familiar with. TALK TIME: The total amount of phone use, typically measured in minutes, for both calls placed and calls received. PEAK MINUTES: Talk time minutes used during the prime calling periods when the carrier networks are most active, typically between 6am and 9pm Monday through Friday. OFF PEAK MINUTES: Talk Time minutes used outside of prime calling periods. ROAMING: Refers to any wireless phone used outside of a customer's home calling area or carrier network coverage. MOBILE-TO-MOBILE MINUTES: Minutes used for calling or receiving calls from another customer on your carrier's service network.

Vertical Clothing Lines Make You Look Thinner

By Tiffany Hart

Struggling to lose that last 10 pounds? Hey, we all are. Well, there is some good news. While losing weight is usually the primary goal for anyone, you can actually dress in a manner that will make it appear you have lost that weight.

We all have our strong and weak areas. Dressing to look thinner is often just about emphasizing the good and moving the eyes away from the bad. Here are some simple tips anyone can use to look thinner than they really are.

We need to start with the basic elements of any outfits. Yes, our tops and bottoms. We want them to be one darker color. We also want them to have a clean cut and not be busy. Vertical lines should be emphasized as much as possible.

In general, bright colors draw the eye of observers. In contrast, dark colors tend to not draw the eye. Can you guess which should be used in which areas? Bright colors go with assets and dark ones cover problem areas.

The use of color to emphasize assets can be done a couple ways. You are trying to bring the eyes to the area, so consider using accessories to do it. A scarf, V neck, belt or shoes can completely change the look of an outfit.

You can often remold your body with undergarments and padding. Using pads to lift the shoulders can create distinct, clean lines that make you thinner. There is a bra for every occasion, so make sure to check out your options.

We want to look thinner, so we need to think through the fabrics we want to wear. Avoid bulky materials. Go thin wherever possible. Bulky materials tend to lead to cuts that are haggard and simply do not help with your desired look.

If you want to look thinner, tighter clothes will do the trick, right? Wrong! Clothes that are to tight just make your bad areas stick out. Go with clothes that move over a trouble area seamlessly and are dark.

If you want to really look thinner, go for clean looks with dark clothes. Use accessories and color sparingly to bring the eye to the part of the outfit you want people to notice. Other than that, emphasize the vertical as much as possible.

Prints are a trouble area when trying to look thinner. Generally, they should be avoided. They tend to draw attention to areas that might not be your best and the focus can shift depending on the lighting you are in.

What if I absolutely must be able to wear prints? About the best compromise that can be reached is to wear them in a way that emphasizes your strengths. They may not help you look thinner, but it will really not matter.

To get that thinner look, just remember the basics when putting together you outfit. Darker clothing with vertical lines does the trick in most cases. Use accessories to move the focus around and you should be good to go. - 15359

Where To Find Discount Suits

By Victor Santerino

Today's tough economic climate has made people much more aware of what they are spending their money on. This may mean that you need to lower the amount of dollars you spend each month on clothing. However, this does not mean you should go to work in your birthday suit.

Stores are yearning to sell consumers discount suits as much as people are yearning to buy them. I wrote this article to give you a better idea of where to find these discounts.

In the past I have encouraged consumers to check out thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, and online stores. However, the recession has expanded my recommendations on where to look for discount prices.

Department stores in todays market are starting to struggle to pay their bills. They need to move their products and they need to move them fast. This may be terrible for stock holders, but it is great for you. Look through your local Sunday paper for the current discounts at each of the department stores you are willing to drive to.

Failing stores can be another fantastic place to find superb deals on suits and other formal wear. Some stores are closing down in an effort to keep the company alive. The only note of caution is that these stores will not be taking returns.

Estate sales and yard sales have traditionally been great places to find used suits at costs that are almost negligible. In addition to the already low prices, many times people running these sales are willing to take offers which can save you over 50 percent off the listed price.

Discounts can be found all over the country in places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army. These places sell a large array of clothing and other items at steep discounts. Buy a suit that is your size, or close enough to be tailored to your size, and you will save money.

Web sites all over the world can provide suits at much lower prices than most brick and mortar stores. These companies have fewer overhead costs and as a result you save money by buying from them rather than a traditional store. - 15359

Cruising With A Baby? - Don't Leave Home Without These Items!

By Brooklyn Sterritt

Going on a family cruise with a young baby can be a wonderful trip. We know because we just came back from a Caribbean cruise with our 10 month old daughter.

Planning for your trip is essential. There are so many things to consder and travel with a baby means that you need to pack more than you would without a baby. Here are the things that we thing you absolutely have to have when going on a cruise with a young baby.

1. Probably the most important thing for the cruise is taking a comfortable stroller that is foldable. Having a stroller makes it easy to get around on the ship and in the airport when travelling to the cruise. We used the stroller for morning walks on the ship, for taking our daughter to meals on the ship, and in the evening we bathed her, put her in pyjamas and then put her in the stroller as we enjoyed the excitement of walking around the ship in the evening. She fell asleep every evening in her stroller.

2. Make sure that you have enough diapers for your baby during the vacation - but don't bring them from home. First figure out before you leave how many diapers your child go through in a normal day - and then multiply that number by the number of days on your vacation. If your vacation involves air travel (like ours did) you won't want to have to bring the diapers from home - if you do that means that they will have to be checked as checked baggage. Instead, do what we did. Our ship cruised out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida. We had time from when our flight arrived in Florida to when we had to be on the ship. So from the airport we took a cab to a nearby Target store and purchased the diapers that we needed for the cruise and some other baby supplies before getting another taxi to the ship.

3. One thing to do on a cruise ship - especially when it is hot is to go to the kiddies pool with your child and cool off in the pool. In order for your child to go into the pool they have to wear swim diapers or they have to be toilet-trained.

4. If your baby is on formula make sure that you bring enough formula with you for the length of the cruise. We brought powdered formula since it is more compact than pre-mixed formula. Rather than bring it from home, we purchased the required formula in Florida before embarking our ship. Keep in mind that any formula entering the ship must be sealed & in the original container.

5. Being able to boil water during the trip was important to us since we wanted to have safe water to mix with the powdered formula. In order to make it easy to boil water we brought a kettle with us with an automatic shut-off.

6. Baby's food is obviously very important. We brought a formula dispenser with us. We did this so that we could fill several bottles with clean water and when it was time for a bottle for our daughter we just had to pour the pre-measured formula into the water and give the bottle a shake.

7. When you check into your room on the ship let your room steward know that you will have some smelly diapers - he will come to your room more often to remove them. You can also help to control odours in your cabin by bringing with you scented bags for putting the dirty diapers (they can be purchased at a dollar store or Babies r Us). The bags were also useful on our air flight.

8. You'll need soap for bathing your baby. Eventhough most ship cabins won't have a tub for bathing your child - you can still do what we did. We plugged the drain on the shower and put enough water in the shower in order to give our baby her bath.

9. Sun Cabana - if your cruise is taking you to a warm climate like the Caribbean purchase a very lightweight sun cabana before your trip. You can use it when you visit the beach during the cruise. Keeps baby comfortable and protected from the sun. If you rent a cabana on the beach it will cost about $80 to $100.

10. Zip lock bags - these are great for everything - snack holders, put really dirty/soiled clothes away until you get home. Use for things that leak - (ex. medicine). Use the bags on the ship to pack bibs, spoons to go for dinner so when they are dirty you can throw in the bag & clean when you get back to your room.

These are the essentials that can't leave home without. There are more items to consider, but start your list with these items. - 15359

Getting Started With Home Decor

By William Scott

If you don't have any experience doing home decor, you can still make changes to the way your home looks if you know what materials you need and what to do.

A Few Elements That Regulate Plastic Surgery Cost

By Bill Johnson

There is no set plastic surgery price because each surgeon has his or her own rates. But there are some factors that will assist in finding out how much or how little you end up paying to have your plastic surgery done. Among the more important of the factors involved would be things such as the expertise and experience of the surgeon, the duration as well as difficulty of the procedure and likewise the type of facilities provided.

Type Of Clinic

Plastic surgery cost's will likewise vary according to the type of clinic because cosmetic surgeons that own cutting-edge and technologically advanced clinics will charge more than those whose facilities are drab and out of date. Even So, irrespective of plastic surgery cost, you need to first of all see to it that you are able to settle the costs involved before going ahead with the operation.

You should be mindful that you don't get tempted by appealing plastic surgery prices because these are often only extended by those that are looking to dupe customers. You need to, at the very beginning, be able to see to it that the cost placed will cover you for the surgery and anesthesia as well as post-operation examinations and for any corrective operations that might need to be performed.

Regrettably, the cost of plastic surgery is ordinarily not covered by insurance with the only exception being in the event of an emergeny where it is obviously medically required. Still, you can hunt around for financing as there are many programs available that allow patients to pay back the entire plastic surgery cost in payments.

To begin with, when plastic surgery first became known to the world, it was, thanks to the high plastic surgery costs involved, affordable solely to a select few. Nonetheless, with each new gain in technology, plastic surgery has come to be more affordable and with the smaller expenses involved, most everyone today can afford plastic surgery if they want it bad enough.

Mostly, in these modern times, plastic surgery costs can go from between fifteen hundred dollars to as high as 8000 dollars. Breast augmentation and breast lift are the cheapest types of plastic surgery available while lower body lift is likely the most expensive type.

Besides the cost of plastic surgery, you will as well need to know how to select the most dependable cosmetic surgery center. Here again elements that will regulate which center you opt for include the location, the price they bill as well as the funding options obtainable and of course, the facilities.

Todays day and age, different plastic surgery procedures call for different plastic surgery prices. An good example of this difference is seen when you look at having a face lift at a price just below six thousand bucks compared to a reshaping of your nose which will cost you a shade less than 3900. No matter which procedure you choose take all the components into account and be an informed shopper. Don't get suckered by special offers and such because it is your body you are dealing with and the effects of your choice will be there all of your life-time. - 15359

Checking Your Dentist`s Credentials

By Amy Nutt

While the majority of dentists are good at what they do, there are always a few bad apples. Unfortunately, by the time you realize that you've chosen a bad one, the damage will have been done. To prevent possible problems, it`s a good idea to do a credential check on your dentist, to be sure that he or she hasn't had any problems in the past.

There are two main ways to go about checking credentials for your dentist. Here we will look at both and you can choose which is best for you.

State Boards All dentists must be registered with the state Board of Dental Examiners. They can provide you with a list of dentists, or you can find this online as most states make the list easily available on their website. You should be able to do a simple search for your dentist`s name and the following information will be made available.

- Address - Phone number - License number - License issue date - End of record mark

The number that concerns you here is the license number. You can use this to get further information about the dentist you are interested in by contacting the state Board of Dental Examiners. In some states, this can be done online, but in many, you`ll need to actually call the board up.

With the license number, you`ll be able to find out if the dentist has a valid license and if any disciplinary measures have ever been taken against him or her. You will need the number for your particular state`s board so you can call them up and ask for information about the dentist in question. Any other problems with their practice will be available to you, as well, so you can make your choice as to whether or not you`ll make an appointment with that particular dentist London Ontario. If you are checking out more than one dentist, be sure to have all the license numbers on hand for reference.

Online Searches If you don`t wish to go through all the hassle of looking up your dentist`s license number and calling to find out more information, you will find that there are websites that specialize in providing information about dentists in your area. All you need to do is type in the dentist`s name and the information will come up. Most sites do charge a fee to see all the information, that which you would be able to find out for free by calling the state board.

Most people will find that it`s simply easier to pay the small fee and have the information immediately and conveniently. You`ll have access to any dentist on the list and will be able to quickly scan through and find out which ones in your area have had problems with the Board before. This is immensely helpful in choosing a dentist.

It`s just common sense to find out whether or not your dentist is a good one or has complaints against him before you arrange any dental work. You wouldn't leave your car with just any mechanic, so why would you let just any dentist touch your teeth? It pays to find out who you`re trusting with your mouth!

Take the time to do a little research, find out if any disciplinary action has been taken against the dentist in question and to ensure that their license is still up to date. You`ll be very glad of it if you should find out something unpleasant, and if you don`t, you`ll still have peace of mind while you sit in the dentist`s chair. - 15359

How To Manage Your Pay Per Click Marketing Campaign

By Brian Basch

With the rapid growth of the Internet many excited entrepreneurs have seen the great opportunities that it has to offer. In fact it has now become the most widely used media for marketing. The bad news is that the small business owner is facing a larger amount competition. Due to this fact entrepreneurs are exploring different forms of marketing.

Google Adwords is the answer to their prayers. It is a well-known form of advertising. Just create and ad around a keyword and submit it to the search engine. Then your ad will pop up on the right hand side of the search results.

Where are Google Adwords? They are the small ads that come up with the search results when you put a keyword into the Google search engine. Advertisers who are using Google Adwords make all these ads.

Of course there is no doubt about it a Google Adwords campaign is not as easy as it looks. Always remember that Google Adwords is a pay per click program.

Bidding is important for ensuring the success of your campaign. Online promotions will always result in a fair amount of useless traffic, and wasted funds. Always look ahead to the benefits you will be able to reap from your campaign before you make one.

To get a better placement you will need to bid higher, and pay more money.

Discard or tweak any ads that are counterproductive.

Monitoring your campaign is the key to its success. You can even hire a third party company to manage your campaign for you. A skillful management company will help you to develop sales and bring in sales through your campaign. - 15359

How To Access TVPC

By Jed Elaine

According to a recent report on TV viewership data gathered by NBC (NY Times, October 17, 2008), free Internet streaming is the most popular alternative to traditional television, accounting for roughly a quarter of total viewing based on field surveys of their TV episodes. Aside from streaming, paid downloads, VOD (video on demand) and mobile viewing were also assessed but their numbers were insignificant at best. The impressive amount of Internet streaming has indeed cast the writing on the wall for free TV on PC.

To a great extent, our daily life is already based on the internet. From shopping to public enquiry and personal messaging to office communication, internet is deeply entrenched in us, enrolling the major portion of American society. It's only fitting then that Internet TV should flourish, especially now that accelerated advancement of technology and infrastructure have long more than overcome the initial constraints and setbacks experienced by the industry in its early years.

There is currently a variety of online television most prominent of which are Internet TV (ITV), Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), Broadband TV and User Generated Content TV (UGC TV). Internet TV is the prime favorite as it's free and unrestricted in both access and distribution. IPTV is quality but generally fee-based or contracted while Broadband TV is too geeky for the larger audience and UGC TV programming (restricted to clips) are inherently never full-fledged TV.

There are obvious benefits to be found in Internet TV for both the programming providers and viewers. Viewership is a key factor. It's on this account that programming providers are drawn. The carrot for them would be the potential advertising revenue or other similar agendas. On top of it, entry and set-up is as simplistic as it gets. Viewers won't quarrel with Internet TV either. It's free and it rocks.

Having TV on PC is not only practical, it is also logical. Considering the occupation of time by each separately in modern lifestyle, it's arguably synergistic to have them in a two-in-one set-up. Not that the required infrastructure and other necessities are not already in place anyway, exception is a home nowadays in the first and developing world without a PC hooked up to broadband internet.

Internet TV is on a roll. Tons of Free TV on PC is readily found on any of the major search engines. The trick is to be able to search and zero in on those of your choice and interest. Viewers are prone to get lost amidst the abundance of free online programming but for some specialized software that are dedicated to gather the cream amongst them for your selection. These proprietary computer programs are not free but the right ones are well worth the money. - 15359

The Trend Of Consumer Purchasing On The Internet

By Ryan Haiti

There is a very big trend shift in the conventional business practices. There are now businesses are coming on the internet or online to perform or sell their products. Despite the increase in use and popularity of the Internet over the last few years, the question of why consumers prefer to shop on the Internet for certain products and not for others still remains poorly understood.

Consumers' preference for shopping on the Internet has not been abundant. Until just a few years ago, the Internet had been relatively new to consumers as a shopping medium, and is still in a growth phase. Lack of familiarity with its use and the risk perceived by consumers in revealing personal information as a part of online purchasing has created uncertainty and wariness about untried e-tailers. In addition, the appeal and adoption of online shopping have been hindered by inferior Internet retail site design and functions. Finally, historical trends have not had sufficient time to accumulate to predict consumer shopping behavior.

The early years of online shopping has been replaced by more realistic and cautious projections of e-commerce sales. While use of the Internet for the purposes of shopping, information search, communication, interaction, and entertainment has continued to increase, the actual figures for e-commerce sales have not increased as rapidly as expected. As online retail sales continue to increase at a slower pace than expected, academicians and practitioners alike are searching for the product categories that consumers will shop for on the Internet. Consumers' preferences for shopping on the Internet may depend on the product type, which will in turn influence the need to obtain product information easily and cost-effectively, or to test or try products before purchasing. In addition, consumers' willingness to purchase on the Internet may vary depending on the attributes that Internet retailers offer for online-shopping (i.e., information and order services, privacy, quality of products, site quality, etc.).

In the brick-and-mortar retailing and catalog shopping literature, the published research indicates that the importance of store/mail-order attributes varies by product category. There is a discrepancy between e-tailers and customers regarding why customers visit a site. Retailers were reported to believe that factors such as convenience, reputation/trust, and customer service were most important, while customers were reported to list merchandise assortment and competitive prices as the factors that mattered most to them. The reason for the discrepancy is perhaps that the type of product purchased is influential in determining which attributes are more important in choosing a retailer to patronize.

It may also help Internet retailers understand which Internet retailer attributes are important to consumers for specific product types so that they can communicate to them with proper messages and convey the appropriate product-related information on their Web sites and in their advertising. - 15359

Popular Special Effects Lenses

By Amy Nutt

Colored Contacts Without a doubt, the most popular theatrical lenses are also the simplest. These contacts just change the color of your eyes and are tremendously popular among young people in particular who enjoy testing new eye colors.

These colored contacts tend to work best with light colored eyes (blue, grey, green, etc.) but there are also versions created specifically for darker eyes that need more pigment. You can use common eye colors, like blue or green or you can try something a little creepier, perhaps red or yellow. A fun way to use colored lenses is to wear just one at a time, leaving the other eye natural.

Evil Eyes If you want something a little more sinister than just the eye color change, look for lenses that change the shape of your pupil. This can be a fun way to amp up the fear factor. These types of contacts come with vertical slit pupils, like a cat eye. You can usually buy them in a variety of colors, with red and yellow being the most common. These lenses need to be put in just so, however, to ensure that the pupil is facing the right way.

Party On If you hit the dance floor on a regular basis, then black light eyes are a must have. They glow in the black light and create a very interesting effect for parties and raves. These are still fairly new, but already extremely popular and in demand.

Movie Effects With movies like Twilight being so popular, vampire contacts and wolf lenses are all the rage. Vampire contacts are usually red, but allow for the pupil in the center, while a wolf eye is animal like and brown with streaks. These aren`t the only movie effect lenses you can get, though. Look for your favorite horror movie brought to life in your eyes with contacts that mimic the effects from movies like Hellraiser, Tempest and Jeepers Creepers.

There are plenty of options to turn you into the monster of your dreams.

White While these could technically be labeled as colored lenses, the fact is that white contact lenses actually cover up any existing color and make your eyes a fun white color, essentially eliminating the color. This type of contact lens is particularly popular if you are into zombies and want the blank, undead look.

Pictures While not quite as common as colored contact lenses, these fun lenses are found everywhere just the same. They come with images of everything from spiders, roaches or skulls on them to flowers, smiley faces and swirls; you just can't get that look with glasses.

Having a picture in your eye can be a fun way to grab people`s attention and the variety of images available means that each person can choose the style that suits their personality.

Special effects contact lenses can be a fun way to change your look . . . subtly or in a rather obvious manner. They are also ideal for costume parties and Halloween when you need those special vampire eyes. The price tag can be a little high, especially if you are going for handpainted, so keep that in mind when buying for a special occasion.

These lenses aren`t meant for long term use usually, so you`ll need to take them out and clean them as you would with regular contacts before using again. With proper care, specialty lenses can last up to 4-5 months. - 15359

How Do You Get Music Videos On Your I-Pod?

By Amy Nutt

The Apple I-pod is one of the most technologically advanced multi media players on the market. The new I-pod touch and I-pod video have the capabilities to store and play thousands of songs and pictures like the older models, but now have the technology to store and play hundreds of hours of video as well.

Apple has taken instant, hand held entertainment to a new level, allowing I-pod users to create their own videos and upload them onto their I-pods to enjoy and share, or to purchase their favorite music videos from I-tunes (or one of any number of other online retailers) to carry with them anywhere they go.

Where to get your Favorite Videos

There are a number of ways to get your favorite music videos such as Eminem and movie clips onto your I-pod where youll be able to enjoy them wherever and whenever you want.

The Safest Bets

You can join a website for the specific purpose of supplying videos for portable media players. This is often a good option, because the files will already be in the format that will be compatible with your I-pod software, so all you have to do is essentially point and click to have all of your favorite music videos in the palm of your hand. The only downside to joining a membership site, is that you have to pay the fee regardless of how many videos you download - so if you only find a few that you really want, then you could be paying an exceedingly high per-video fee. The up side is that downloading videos this way is perfectly safe and legal; you can search and download all the videos you want without any fear of viruses or legal repercussions.

You can transfer videos from DVDs that you already own, which will be free, but a little bit more complicated. I-pods only support video in the MPEG 4 format, which means that any videos in any other format will have to be translated into the MPEG 4 format in order to be compatible with your I-pod. Translating video into this format will require you to purchase software that can change the video format, creating an extra cost and adding an extra step to the process. You may or may not be able to find a software application that can translate certain video formats for you for free, but be very wary about what sites you download programs from - in looking for a cheaper alternative, you may just find yourself with an unwanted virus.

You can also join a "pay as you download" site, where you wont have any out of pocket cost to join, but will pay for each individual video that you download. This is just as safe and legal as the pay membership sites, but you will probably end up paying a bit more for each individual video that you download. These sites often have very extensive libraries containing thousands and thousands of videos to choose from like Lil Wayne or akon, so finding the exact videos that you want shouldnt be very challenging.

A Cheaper but, Risky Option

If you dont want to pay for the software to translate videos into the MPEG4 format, or pay anything for the videos that you download, you can always visit a free download or shareware site. Youll usually be able to find exactly what you are looking for on these sites, but the big downsides here are that it is dangerous and illegal. These sites usually arent monitored very well, so its pretty common to find that either a virus or some form of spy-ware has found its way onto your computer, particular if your are on the sites often.

Whatever method of downloading videos to your I-pod that you happen to choose, youll be opening yourself up to a whole new style of entertainment. Youll have instant access to all of your favorite music videos, no matter when or where you want to view them. Apple has totally changed the way we are able to entertain ourselves with the capabilities of the new series of I-pods. - 15359

A Blackberry and a Raspberry Walk Into A Bar

By KC Kudra

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were to cross a blackberry and a raspberry? The answer, which we have thanks to a couple of Scottish botanists, is the tayberry a large reddish purple berry.

First cultivated in Invergowrie, Scotland by Scottish Crops Research Institute botanists David Mason and David Jennings, the tayberry is a blackberry-raspberry cross, which bears fruit in mid to late summer and tastes wonderful eaten out of hand or cooked.

The Tayberry looks at first glance like a blackberry, but all it takes is one taste to know this is no ordinary blackberry. The tayberry has a tart bite thanks to its raspberry heritage, which sets it apart. This is a surprising but deliciously welcome newcomer to the fruits in your local market.

A tayberry makes a great pie, which is a wonderful change of pace and is welcome at any late summer picnic. You can make tayberries into a deliciously tart-sweet jam, which makes a great sandwich or toast topping.

Add tayberries to your bowl of ice cream or you may even enjoy some in a fruit salad or in jello salad recipes. Use them as you would any other fruit for example being, in cereal or with cool whip. There are many ways that you can enjoy it even if it is eaten by itself.

Tayberries also make a delicious dessert wine. With a beautiful red color not unlike that of pinot noir, the wine has a sweet and sour taste which is very appealing and pairs well with meats, especially red meats and game. It also goes well with strong cheeses and is quite reasonable, usually costing about $15 a bottle.

Amongst the wonderful tart flavor that this dual fruit brings, there are also health benefits. It is highly rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Then of course there is fiber and folate. The leaves and the root are known to help prevent diarrhea.

Tayberry leaves, like raspberry and blackberry leaves can be chewed as an effective home remedy for bleeding gums and a number of other ailments; in fact, the Scots have been using these leaves for 2,000 years!

Tayberries are a fruit with a large number of uses - food, wine and home remedies. This fruit is a little bit different, making it an exciting addition to your recipes. The tayberry is a real treat and the uses you can find for this delicious little fruit are limited only by the bounds of your imagination. - 15359

Contemporary Office Design Made Simple

By Bob Morris

Keeping one's eye on office design and building maintenance are vital aspects to going about doing business that many business owners ignore. The design of office interiors can have a profound consequence on the disposition and productivity of employees and upper management. Providing a well-maintained workplace is important in reference to health and safety concerns. By utilizing proper design and upkeep, businesses are able to benefit from some sort of control over the contentment, welfare, and effectiveness of not only their employees, but themselves as well.

It would seem to be obvious that the more contented and healthier someone is, the more productive that someone will be. Even though company owners might appreciate this idea, they quite repeatedly ignore the effects that office design can have on their employees. Many times, building maintenance is disregarded, resulting in bad air quality or hazardous areas within the workplace. Moreover, the wrong colors, furniture setup, or noise level can negatively effect the temperment and fortitude of those functioning within such a situation.

One great way to start improving office design is to consider the amount of untidiness that is presently in the office. Office interiors that permit little room for movement can create thoughts of being "closed in" or claustrophobia. Many home offices end up structured in this manner, with extra office equipment or furniture taking up all available space. By opening things up and producing space, many workers will get a sense of freedom. What needs to be realized is that these emotions can translate into a more constructive mood, more contact with others, and more cooperation.

Bringing in plants and flowers can have a positive effect on the individuals working in an office environment. Office interiors full of nature can have a reassuring effect. When an office is experienced as too sterile, individuals can yet again feel closed in, which may result in a more antagonistic office space. Try utilizing windows that reveal vast lawns or garden areas. Another useful manner to improve office design is to be attentive to the noise level. If workplace equipment or nearby traffic are too deafening, the noise can have a negative impact on the people working. Try utilizing extra rugs, blinds, or office dividing walls to assist with any surplus noise.

An office design modification may be necessary when the office interiors are comprised of design schemes and furniture from two to three decades ago. Many older office spaces are made gloomy with dark colored furniture, rugs and drapes. By restructuring the office with more vivid colors and additional open spaces, the work surroundings can be transformed from a routine experience to one that aids to bring a cheerful and peaceful feeling to each person who enters the new space.

Building maintenance must be looked at when going through any office design modifications. Maintenance is necessary to keep all aspects of the office in proper working condition. Normal office cleanings keep the workspace free from dust and dirt. Things such as the roof must be sustained in order to prevent water leaks, which will just bring about more costs to the owner when the inside of the office endures water damage.

One facet of building maintenance that is usually disregarded is the air quality. Any office design arrangement must include the correct total of waste cans to collect waste properly. Refrigerators need to be in any kitchen spot to keep food from going bad. All waste must be disposed of in a prompt manner. Plants and flowers must be kept watered and cared for. Furniture should be kept away from all vents and be sure to maintain all heating and air conditioning systems.

Even though all workplaces have detailed actions that should be acted on during the course of each work day in order to be productive, by no means underestimate the influence that the right office design and building maintenance can have on the workers in charge of finishing each duty. Whether existing in a home office or a big corporate building, office interiors are a key facet to creating the ambience that best assists to bring in the revenue all people are concerned about . - 15359

5 Easy Inventive Ways To Use Up Leftovers

By Nicole Dean

Do you go through the leftover dilemma several times a year? You've been cooking some big meals lately and now have a refrigerator full of leftovers. I know the look you'll get from your family if you attempt to put another plate of the same food in front of them for a third day. I suspect you'll end up scraping the leftovers into the compost bin if you don't think up something unique real soon.

You want to invent new dishes from the same old leftovers, but how? When you look at your leftover dish, make a mental list of what you used in that recipe and think about what other recipes you might have or can find that use similar ingredients.

1) Creamy Potato Soup

Leftover mashed potatoes make good thick and creamy soups because the basic creamy soup ingredients are already there. In a soup pot, put three or four diced slices of bacon and cook until just crispy and remove. In the bacon drippings, saute diced celery and carrots until soft, add some diced onion and saute until transparent. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon butter or oil, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1 1/2 cups milk, simmering until just starting to thicken. Then add your leftover potatoes a little bit at a time until it looks like potato soup. Stir in the bacon and let simmer together slowly. You now have a nice, flavorful and creamy Potato Soup.

2) Turkey And Gravy Barbeque Style

Cut up or fork-shred some turkey, both white meat and dark will do. In a large skillet, brown a little diced up bacon. Add some diced onion and minced garlic if you like. Put the cut up turkey in the skillet and top with enough leftover gravy to cover the turkey pieces. Now add just enough of a good barbeque sauce or grill flavoring or dry rub to flavor your gravy and turkey mix to give it that Sloppy Joe flavor. Scoop on top of a hamburger bun or a leftover dinner roll.

3) Turkey Curry Cauliflower Soup

Place cooked cauliflower into a food processor and blend until smooth, drizzling in milk until you reach a smooth, soupy consistency. Put about 2 teaspoons of curry in as you blend. You may want more or less curry, so start slowly. In a heavy pot, drizzle a little oil and cook some chopped carrots and onion until just tender. Add your creamy cauliflower mixture to pot. You may now add some cut up turkey that you have leftover. Cook the soup slowly until heated through.

4) Cheesy Green Bean Tomato Soup

If you have leftover green bean casserole, you're in luck. It makes the perfect start for a cheese soup. Adding some diced tomatoes gives this soup a fresh flavor. Get out your big soup pot and saute up some bite size pieces of celery until just soft. Add several big chunks of onion, cooking until transparent, and then add a little minced garlic. Pour in a can of diced tomatoes. You may want a little extra seasoning, like a grill seasoning or dry rub. Put in your green bean casserole, slowly mixing in all the ingredients. If it seems a little thick, add a bit of chicken broth. Now just heat, stirring often, until the soup is all creamy and hot.

5) Stuffing with Egg Muffin Cups

Coat your muffin cups with non-stick spray or butter. Put stuffing in cup, working up the sides to form a dish for an egg. Crack one fresh egg in each stuffing cup and top with shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, just until the egg is cooked and cheese is all melted. When done cooking, remove and let the muffin tin cool for a minute or two before removing the egg cup.

There are many more ways to create a new meal out of leftover dishes. Rethink the leftovers you have on hand, keeping in mind the ingredients that are in that particular dish. Then you'll be able to add just a few ingredients to come up with a new and unique meal. - 15359

How Much do Portable Display Stands Cost on Average?

By Amy Nutt

Having a trade show display is something that more companies need to try. This is because a lot of people come to trade shows. They not only come to see what they can get their hands on, but they like to see what the different companies are offering. Yes, some do come just for the freebies, but there are plenty of individuals who come for the educational value of it all. That is why it is very important to have portable display stands as a part of your trade show display.

There are different types of portable display stands that you can use for your trade show display. It is basically up to you which you get. You can base it on your budget and your style.

Different types of display stands

First of all portable display stands can have several different holders. This means that you will be able to hold more than just one brochure or flyer. You're going to be able to hold much more than that. So here is a rundown of what you may encounter when looking for the right portable display stands for your trade show booth:

- You can get curved display stands or a literature rack that holds multiple pieces of literature for anywhere between $175 and $200. These are units that sit on the floor, but they can set up quickly. They usually fold up in some way.

- There are fabric displays that can cost you under $100.

- You can find tabletop displays for under $100 and still hold multiple pieces of literature.

- You may even find that a rotating magazine rack is the way in which you can display your literature. This is something that may still cost you anywhere from $90 to $125.

- There are lighted displays that may cost you around $500. This is one of the most expensive units you can invest in.

There are so many different types of display stands. What you pay depends on what your style and of course if you decide that display booth rentals is the way to go. You may choose something super sophisticated, which will come packed with a sophisticated price. Then again, you may choose something that is modest with a modest price. You have so many choices and so many price ranges to choose from. That means you're not going to have a hard time choosing the right display stands for your trade show booth.

Why use display stands?

When distributing literature, you don?t want to have to lay the literature down flat upon the table you're using in your trade show booth. This is because it gets knocked around and can look really messy. People will sit their things on top of them. Fanning them out on a table also means you're using up space that could be used to display your product or something else important. Even using a tabletop display stand will save a lot of room and keep things organized.

So for the sake of your image, it is a good idea to use portable display stands for your literature. That way you look really professional and people are able to freely grab information about you and your product. People like it when literature is made available to them and you're going to like it too. You?re going to like it because that means you have possible new customers. That means you're going to make even more money, which is made possible by setting up a trade show booth and being organized with that booth. That means you have made the trade show and your display work for you. It's just a matter of finding the materials that will serve you best. - 15359

Affiliate Marketing Programs

By Don Bethune

Affiliate marketing are a group of marketing programs which allow advertisers to reimburse webmasters for putting up advertisements on their webpage or within the e-mails they send. In the same way an particular company would pay for space in the newspaper or on a billboard, they pay for space on your website.

The simplicity of being participating in affiliate marketing programs has made it one of the most well known ways to earn income without leaving home. These programs allows just about anyone, housewives, the elderly, the homebound, to have their own 'home business' and gain monetary freedom.

From the above lines a simple question arises. How and why do advertisers pay to webmasters for just putting up their advertisements? Well the answer is more than simple. Webmasters who receive several thousands hits a day on their webpage are among the top that are posted on various search engines.

Having an add on such a page would be lucrative to any company as it can account to hundreds of new customers everyday. Therefore the price that advertisers pays to the webmasters depends on the number of hits of the webpage on which the add is going to appear on.

There are different versions of affiliate marketing program. Some of them include cost per click, cost per thousand, cost per action, cost per lead and so on. Cost per click as the name says is getting paid for every click on the advertisement of the advertiser.

In a cost per click scale the webmaster will be paid based on the number of times a person using the website hosting the ad, clicks on the link directing them to the advertiser's website. In the per thousand click scale the webmaster is paid for every thousand times a web user clicks on the ad's link. A per action scenario means that the web user must not only click through the ad link, but also complete a particular action, such as filling out customer information, signing up for a contest, completing a purchase and so on. Another payment scale type is cost per lead which is similar to cost per action, but the webmaster sends potential customer information.

How do webmasters choose the right affiliate marketing program for their websites? Many simply search the internet! The best way to determine which program best suits a webmaster is to search for affiliate programs, evaluate the payments schedules, and determine if ad placement is suitable for their site (size and location requirements).

The income earned from such programs can vary depending on the number of hits your webpage receives. But is the income taxable or not? It depends on the region you are staying in and the type of government. The opportunities in this field are enormous and are worth exploiting! - 15359

Eyeglasses used to be a burden to people. They were not very stylish, they felt like they weighed a ton, and they were extremely large in size. Unfortunately, those individuals could do nothing about it because they needed the glasses to see. There were children trying to get out of wearing their glasses, but they would have to wear them while they did their studies. At the same time they were humiliated as the other kids called them "Four Eyes" and "Geek."

Times are definitely not like that. Billions of people have to have their vision corrected. Usually, they correct their vision with eyeglasses first and will move to contact lenses later. Fortunately, though, more and more people are finding satisfaction with their eyeglasses. This is great for those who may not be able to wear contact lenses. The advent of designer frames has made wearing eyeglasses a lot more bearable.

Popular types of designer frames

There are many types of popular designer frames. They come in all different shapes and sizes. They also come in many different colours. It just more or less depends on your eye colour, your hair colour, and the shape of your face. But no matter what your physical features are, you?re going to find a designer frame that will take care of you.

Each manufacturer has their own unique style and it is that unique style that reels people in. One person may like Tommy Hilfiger, while the other person may like Calvin Klein because of the style.

The different types of designer frames out there include: Coach, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Dolce Gabanna, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Chanel, Dior, and many more. These are the individuals that are responsible for the rectangle designs that offer up a little bit of flair. For those needing a more round frame, perhaps a frame by Coach will get the job done. You can usually distinguish the different brands by looking at them if you're familiar with their styles.

The purchase

You have so many options when it comes to purchasing designer frames. You also have several buying options. You can always buy from your optometrist or a dispensary. Then again, you can purchase your desired designer frame on the Internet. This means you're going to have a lot more to choose from. You're not limited to the inventory of your optometrist or dispensary. Just make sure you are familiar with what frame shapes and colours look good on you. You definitely don't want to get something that is going to look terrible.

Then there is the fact that your prescription is going to determine what looks good on you. Those who require extremely thick lenses may not do well with a rimless or half-rim frame. So that is something else to keep in mind.

Most importantly, having so many buying options allows you to compare your prices. You can find the best frame and the best deal for you. You do, however, need to make sure you're able to have your prescription placed within the frame. It doesn't do any good to have a designer frame if you cannot use it to see out of. There is also the fact that you may find so many great deals that you decide to buy several different frames. Maybe one day you're in a certain mood and you choose your frame for that day. That's a good way to mix it up because, let's face it, designer glasses are now a fashion statement. They're not a burden anymore. Perhaps that is why more and more people are making the decision to wear their eyeglasses over their contact lenses. - 15359

Business success strategies revealed

By Jay NaPier

While many business owners choose to focus on the negative, many profitable business owners choose to focus on the positive and focus on what they can do to be successful in their business. the first step is to have a positive mindset and focus on what's important to you and your business, that would be profit.

Start off by looking at the products and services that you sell. Are you making a profit on them? Are you making enough profit on them? other services you could sell along with the products that would make your company more profitable? how long has it been since you increase the prices for your services and products? Asher cost of doing business has gone up, is now time to increase your prices.

Look for the hidden assets in your business. It's easier to keep a customer than it is to find a new one, so ask yourself "what am I doing to make my customers and clients feel special?" Do you send out birthday cards? Anniversary cards? Christmas cards? What about, may be Thanksgiving cards?

One of the ways you can continue to profit is by recognizing that there are two key ways to increase your business immediately. get your customers to purchase more product or purchase more often. Many top companies succeed because they put together package deals for their customers. A top computer company offers not only the computer, but printers, cameras, and other computer accessories. They also have a finance program that allows their customers to finance through the computer company.

It's a great idea to offer bonuses with a purchase. Our company gives away free Flip Mino HD video camcorders with purchase of our monthly video marketing program. a dry cleaner might give away a free lint roller with every $50 in cleaning.

Take a close look at your advertising budget. Too many business owners are still paying hundreds of dollars a month for ineffective yellow page advertising. Today, it's easier to Google a business than it is to go searching in the Yellow Pages. a simple e-commerce campaign is easy to do and cheaper than the Yellow Pages.

Do you have a customer list? If not, now is the time to do one. Four years direct marketers have sent out marketing pieces to announce new products, new services, special sales, promotions, and remind customers that it's time for a visit to the doctor. Today's list builders use technology instead of direct mail. It's cheaper and more effective. You can easily use this technology when you've had a slow week. Simply, send out a quick e-mail with the details on a special, silent promotion giving customers a 20% discount this week only.

Started buy local campaign. Everyone love to support their local community, you simply have to remind them from time to time. Start with your own business first. When possible, by everything from a local company. Now expand to your family. Build a group of 50 to 100+ business owners who'll commit to help promote a local portal designed for your community. Each business owner will put a sign in their window that notes the website and the buy local logo that associates you as a part of the local community campaign. "A recent study found that for every $100 spent in a chain store, $14 went back into the local economy. For a locally owned business, it was $45," , says Stacy Mitchell author of"Big-Box Swindle. Most chambers of commercedo not invest in the marketing required to fully assist local business owners.

Staying profitable during challenging times is easy when you focus your efforts working on your business instead of in your business. - 15359

California DMV Rewarded With Heather Locklear DUI

By Rebecca Aguani

I always wanted to be like Heather Locklear. Until I hear about the Heather Locklear DUI. Sucks to be famous when people profit from your mistakes. Then everyone gets to see the pictures of your mistakes.

Did your mug shot turn into paparazzi filth? If you're a celebrity it did. Most of us don't have to see our problems on the 6 o'clock news. How much worse would our humiliation be if everyone knew about it before we were even released from jail.

Did you know that you can be arrested for driving under the influence even if you have no alcohol in your system. Your doctor or pharmacist could provide the drug that causes you to be arrested. Some people don't react well to medication. Any medication that effects your balance or abilities could be cause for arrest. I doubt the California DMV was very proud of Locklear for her lack of judgment.

Drunk driving, driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated, whatever you call it can be caused by more elements than just alcohol. If you operate or control a motor vehicle while influenced or impaired you have consented to be tested and evaluated by the authorities. Some medications can cause impairment and this was the case with Locklear. All 50 states have their own laws for defining the violations. Crossing state lines can drastically change the laws and penalties.

Some states even have enhanced Blood Alcohol Content levels. This means that if you test positive for this higher level your penalties will be more sever because you were an even more dangerous threat to society. California has a 0.20 enhanced BAC penalty law.

The Heather Locklear mug shot makes me so mad. Even in that worse moment she still looks pretty good. Unlike the Lil Kim mug shot she looks pretty bad. They both rank right up there with paparazzi filth. Locklear had other problems than just her mug shot. That good citizen that turned her in made big money on the pictures.

This good citizen sounds like a stalker to me. Then when you find out it's Jill Ishkanian you wonder if it's a horror story. This lady is a former editor for Us Weekly and after she left she used her knowledge to steal information from their computers so she could stalk famous people. The FBI is still investigating her.

But wait, it gets worse when you find out that Ishkanian owns a paparazzi agency. Now we have a stalker with her own gang. However, she is not well liked so she can't sell her own photos she has someone else do it for her. If the tabloids refuse to buy your paparazzi pics you shouldn't be loose in society. What kind of standards do they have any way.

So the Heather Locklear DUI does have a bright spot for us. It makes us glad we're not a celebrity when we mess up. - 15359

6 Things You Should Know Before You Buy A Range

By Steven M. Fisher

1: STYLE IS IMPORTANT

Ranges are like a stage for performing and have become the status symbol of the kitchen. There are free-standing or slide-in models, or built-in. Usually you select the same type of replacement range to avoid renovations. The larger professional type ranges add glamour as well as heat. They need better ventilating system and may need fireboards next to adjoining cabinets.

2: COLOR IS KEY

These days, most ranges come in white, black and stainless steel or metallic finish resembling stainless. Ask if the metal is really stainless steel. The rule is that range should match the dishwasher and refrigerator if they do not have a custom cover. Custom colors are available on premium brands.

3: GAS OR ELECTRIC?

Both gas and electric offer a consistent source of heat and are reliable. Electric heats up and cools down slowly, but can give you a very low heat which is not always possible with gas. With gas, you can select different levels of heat and when the burner is off, cooking stops almost immediately. If you decide to switch from electric to gas, you will need a gas hookup as well as 120 volt circuit for clocks and electronic ignition.

4: PERFORMANCE

There are many programmable options such as delay and time-bake capabilities. Ask about even baking and custom broiling options. You may want to check out convection baking for superior baking results, low simmer and high heat options on cooktop.

5: THE MAINTENANCE CHECK

If you hate to clean the oven, select self-clean options. Continuous clean never really gets the oven immaculate. Smooth glass or ceramic cooktops need specific cleaners and care to maintain their good looks. Burners on professional ranges require more care, especially with drips pans.

6: MEASUREMENTS

Before you make your final decision, be sure that the one you choose will fit into your existing or renovated kitchen. Most freestanding ranges are 30-inches wide, but can vary from 24 to 48-inches. Professional models measure from 36 inches to 60. - 15359

Chemicals in Skincare That May Cause Skin Irritations

By Amy Nutt

As organic skin care grows in popularity, people are starting to realize just how unhealthy mainstream make up, lotions and basic heath items are. With this awareness has come a mounting alarm that these products are not FDA regulated and manufacturers can get away with using a lot of additives that pharmaceutical companies cannot. As a result, potentially life threatening chemicals are being placed in everyday items like baby oil, lotions and creams putting consumers at risk.

Many of these items can create adverse skin reactions and rashes that turn men and women off from the use of these otherwise beneficial items.

Below is a list of some of the things you should look out for when purchasing regular skin care products that may cause irritation or be potentially toxic.

Parabens

Parabens are a collective group of preservatives that have been used by the cosmetic and beauty aid industry to reduce bacterial growth in their products. Many Parabens start with the prefix of methyl, ethyl, butyl, or propyl and are extremely hazardous to health as well as irritating to the skin.

Below is a list of some of these parabens as well as other toxic chemicals that can be aggravating to the largest organ of the human body as well as contribute to a host of ailments.

- Color and Fragrance - both of these substances do not provide anything other than an aesthetic or scent related effect, however, both have properties in them that create skin sensitivity. They are also carcinogenic, meaning that they could cause caner.

- DMDM Hydantoin. Another preservative, this chemical has been attributed to the releases of formaldehyde. This harmful byproduct not only causes skin irritation, it creates allergies and joint pain as well as a long list of hormonal problems.

- Triclosan. This chemical has been categorized by the EPA as a chlorophenol, a high level carcinogen. Just a tiny bit can create major health problems and wreak havoc on the body. The continued use of Triclosan has been linked to hormonal imbalances in both men and women.

- Propylene Glycol (PG) - petroleum based preservative this substance has been cited among the many numerous skin irritants in cosmetic and beauty products. It is also so toxic that handlers have to wear safety gear just to touch it.

- Butylene Glycol - also a petroleum based chemical, both butylene and propylene glycol is dangerous and extremely deadly and some cases. Butylene has been linked to cancer and numerous other chronic disorders.

- Mineral Oil - yet another petroleum product, mineral oil clogs pores creating aggravating break outs and rashes in many users. It also interferes with the skin?s ability to renew and repair itself. This can create a host of problems outside of mere acne issues as the skin needs to function properly for other important organs to work efficiently.

On an even scarier note, most baby oil is made up of 100% Mineral Oil!

There are hundreds more chemicals that can adversely affect the skin or cause illness -- to find out what they are, you should do further, in depth research on the topic.

Other problems associated with mainstream skin care products

Continued use of over the counter, mainstream skin care products can contribute to hormonal imbalances, allergies, severe skin irritations leading to rashes and dermatitis, disorders like CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) headaches, depression, mood swings and hyperactivity.

The answer

Using organic skincare products can alleviate some of the risks commonly associated with the use of mainstream beauty products. Be careful in this regard as many manufacturers may claim something is all natural or organic yet have chemicals in them.

Read all skin care product labels and above all, strive to make sure that you replace harmful chemical based products in your home with truly organic purchases. Though a bit more time consumptive, you will be rewarded with a better health and more luxurious and thankful skin. - 15359
