In the US, literally thousands of people are suffering from adverse effects and reactions from cosmetic products. According to The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, there are over 900 chemicals in cosmetics contents that have toxic substances and are dangerous to your health and well-being.
Decorative Contact lenses
You may want your eyes twinkle like your idol superstar but do you know that wearing decorative contact lenses can snatch your eyesight?
Decorative contact lenses carry the same risks as corrective contact lenses, including
conjunctivitis (pink eye);
corneal (the eye's outermost layer) ulcers;
corneal abrasion;
and vision impairment or blindness.
Further, sharing of contact lenses prescribed for one person can also lead to infections, abrasions, allergic reaction or blindness.
Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of America has received reports of corneal ulcers associated with the wearing of decorative contact lenses, especially when worn overnight.
Corneal ulcers, an infection of the eye, can progress rapidly if left untreated. Uncontrolled infection can lead to corneal scarring and vision impairment. In the most severe cases, this condition can result in blindness and eye loss.
Anti-Wrinkle Cream
"Age doesn't bring you wisdom, it brings you wrinkles." How true the words spoken by American actress, Estelle Getty. For years women all over the world are using the anti-wrinkles creams to look young and stay beautiful - to perennial despair.
Formally, collagen used in anti-wrinkle is crucial to keeping your skin as smooth as silk. Unfortunately as the years go by, collagen also ages and shrinks, contributing to wrinkles.
Lanolin, promoted as being able to 'penetrate the skin better than other oils', was found to contain pesticides, dioxins and known carcinogens.
Collagen, lanolin, liposomes, and elastin in the cream cannot get rid of wrinkles. They only help to moisturize and merely "make-up" up the skin to create unconvincingly youthful appearance. They cannot slow down or reverse the skins ageing process.
Just as eating bone would not repair a broken arm, applying an anti-ageing cream on your face won't repair or remake saggy skin. And vegetarians take note: Most collagen and elastin is waste from the meat industry!
Foundation
Many liquid foundation make-ups contain mineral oil, a suspected human carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). Mineral oil (classed as a petrochemical pollutant) can have negative effects on hormones and the skin's ability to breathe, attract moisture and detoxify.
It can also slow down cell renewal and causes premature ageing. In fact sunscreens produced from mineral oil may promote skin cancer as well as colon and breast cancer. However, no cosmetic manufacturers put health warnings on their products, and in the US, the FDA does not require this information to be on packaging.
Lipstick
The most toxic of all cosmetics.
Some lipsticks contain substances that can cause cancer, deformities and stillbirths. Many women also experience dryness, chapping, cracked and peeling lips from using lipsticks. Other problems that have been reported are inflamed eyes skin rashes, burns, numbness, swollen gums and respiratory problems.
The cause of the problems may be the perfume oils used, any of the colours, indelible dyes, vehicles for the dyes, or some of the other ingredients in the lipstick. It also contains lanolin, which can cause allergic reactions.
Nail Polish
A toxic product which should have a warning label. Contains phenol, toluene and xylene. Its basic ingredient is a formaldehyde resin which can cause discoloration and bleeding under the nails.
Phenol is suspected of causing cancer in humans, it can cause swelling, peeling, burning or breaking out in hives and pimples, if it comes into contact with skin.
Toluene is easily absorbed through the skin but eliminated slowly from the body. It can cause fatigue and weakness. Chronic exposure to toluene may bring in irritation of the mucous membrane, headache vertigo (giddiness) nausea and loss of appetite.
Nail polish removers are just as harmful. Its primary ingredient is acetone, a solvent which can cause your nails to become brittle and split, and can cause skin rashes to develop on your fingers.
The fumes from nail polish remover, when inhaled, can irritate your lungs and make you feel light-headed.

My boyfriend is suffering from cosmetic allergies, I use PF for everything. Is it the minerals in the product?
I don't have to even come into that close of contact with him, and he has almost an instant reaction, we first thought it was spf in face products, but after cutting all of those out, we are now thinking it's the makeup.. I have to slowy starting cutting some of the makeup out and see if this is the culprit.. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this from this product?
lots of people are allergic to cosmetics. i cant even smell some of the products without my eyes watering. really you should find some company which makes natural cosmetics. i use these with no reaction. it is some of the manmade chemicals that causes the reaction. and they are very unsafe although the cosmetic industry tries to suppress this info. go for natural.

At one point, when people saw a tattoo on a stranger, it made them apprehensive. In today's society, tattoos have become much more mainstream, and chances are you know someone who has a tattoo. Or perhaps, you are interested in getting one yourself. How do you know if a tattoo artist is following proper safety procedures to ensure you do not get an infection from the tattooing process?
First of all, if you walk into a tattoo studio and it does not look and smell clean, chances are it isn't. Walk right back out of the shop immediately. Every tattoo artist should start out with sterile supplies and surfaces. Surfaces should be cleaned and sanitized before and after EVERY procedure. Last, but not least, the client's skin should also be kept clean to prevent infection, and in rare cases where it is required, the artist should be protected from transmittable diseases.
Here is a list of procedures that your artist should follow to ensure the sanitation and safety of their clients.
1) Use an autoclave to sterilize all reusable equipment. Once the instruments come out of the autoclave, they should be properly sealed in an autoclave bag, which is opened in front of the client before use.
2) The artist should scrub up. This will include using an antibacterial skin cleanser and using proper medical scrubbing such as scrubbing to the elbows for several minutes. They should use disposable towels to dry off and also shut off the running water so their skin does not touch the faucet. They should then put on rubber gloves.
3) The work area should be full cleaned and sanitized. This normally consists of using a heavy medical germicide that kills all types of germs. These are usually antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral and are quite potent so they should be used with care. Work areas should include all surfaces such as counters, trays, tables, power sources, ink trays (if they are not autoclaveable) and all cords or cables.
4) The artist should now be setting up their tattoo equipment. This should include placing plastic covers over the sanitized cords, as well as a cover over the tattoo machine to prevent cross contamination of any sort. Set up will also include the set up of ink supplies.
5) Lastly, before ink touches skin, the skin should be properly sanitized. This will include wiping down the skin with a variety of mediums depending on the artists choice. This can range from rubbing alcohol to green soap to a specialized antibacterial cleanser.
Every tattoo artist should adhere to this basic sanitization list. Every artist is different; however, every artist should have safety and cleanliness in mind. As you can see keeping sanitary conditions in tattooing is painstaking work, but it is well worth the effort when you consider the safety of everyone involved.

I want to go to a makeup studio so someone can teach me how to do my makeup probably mac.im trying to figure?
out how much it would cost around,but everybody keeps telling me its undetermined.Can someone give me an idea on how much it costs or how much they spent when u went?
MAC is exspensive. For instance, a foundation or powder will probably run you at least $30 - $40.
The best way to learn is to go to make up counters (MAC, Lancom, Clinique) and ask for them to show you. They are professionals, and will walk you through everything they are doing. That is normally free, because they are hoping you will buy the products afterwards (but you dont have to).

There are some who wouldn't be caught dead in public without make up and then there are some who refuse to wear make up at all and prefer the natural look.
Some people have told me they like to let their skin breathe. Well don't worry about it! There's plenty of skin on your body, let the rest of it do the breathing! Your skin is fed from the inside and won't suffer so long as you make sure you cleanse at the end of the day.
But you can actually create a natural look using make up. That way you can have that clean fresh appearance while being able to disguise those flaws that you (and probably only you!) dislike.
So let's have a basic lesson on how to apply make up to create a fresh natural look.
Natural make up techniques
We'll look at base (foundation), concealer, powder and blush this time and in part 2 go on to how to apply make up for the eyes and mouth.
In the case of applying make up the term "less is more" definitely applies! If your going to enjoy a big night out on the town that's different - use your bright eye shadow, lippie and glittery mascara. You can put on a bit more foundation too, to create a flawless palate on which to "paint" your masterpiece!
But during the day whether you're at work, at home or hitting the shops you don't want to look like Coco the clown! Too much makeup can actually appear very ageing.
So let's start with a really clean face. For daytime use a moisturizing sunscreen or sun block. If your skin is oily use a non oily one, if it's very dry use both moisturizer and sun block.
Make up base (or foundation) comes in many types, liquid, stick, cream etc. Mostly this is a matter of preference although the stick or "solid" base usually has a better coverage and will hide things like broken veins almost completely. The liquid bases have a lighter coverage and will give a more natural look.
If your skin is oily, the dry compact bases work well, or opt for an oil free liquid one. Dry skins like the cream bases which give a moist 'dewy' appearance.
Make sure the base you choose matches the colour of your skin as closely as possible. Don't try and create a darker sun tanned look with your base, there are bronzing powders specially created for this. Go outside the store when selecting different colours and make sure they look ok in natural light. It's best to test on your jaw line rather your wrist.
Don't buy pre-packaged make-up bases from the supermarket, you'll not be able to try them on!
Concealers are great for that natural look, you can cover blemishes and broken veins with a concealer without having to use a heavy base all over your face.
Concealers also come in different forms but they all do the same job. You can buy them with built in sunscreen and also with anti bacterial additives if you like. Try to find one just slightly lighter than your skin tone.
Pat the concealer onto the area you wish to cover. Don't rub hard or it will disappear into your pores. Make sure it is blended well and has no "tide marks".
Now dot the base onto your face. Use the sheerest one you can. Don't use too much at first, you can always add more.
Blend really well. Some make up artists recommend a damp sponge, but fingers work just as well. Make sure you blend into the hairline, sides of face, around the nose and particularly the jaw line. Don't just stop at the jaw, your face will look like a mask. Just blend away to nothing before your throat, that way you won't get make-up stains on your collar.
Powder is optional but I like to use it as it "sets" your make-up and absorbs excess oil. Press the powder onto your face with a puff or you may prefer to use a powder brush. After a couple of minutes brush the powder off using light downward strokes.
Next apply blusher. Brush this lightly on the apple of your cheeks and up towards the temples. Don't put too much on your brush, you can always go over it again. If you are using a cream blusher, apply this before powder. Dot onto the apple of your cheeks and blend in up to the temples. Blend really well!
Now for my special tip. Place a cool damp (not wet) face washer over your face and press very gently. this will give the whole face a fresh look - Gorgeous!

They're weird and they're wacky, but they've got a charm and allure we can't help but appreciate. Here's our picks for the zaniest, looniest, nuttiest made in the U.S.A museums:
1. National Mustard Museum" Mount Horeb, Wisconsin
Excuse me do you have any grey poupon? This is one place where you're all but guaranteed to get a resounding "Yes". In fact, Mount Horeb's National Mustard Museum is home to over 5000 mustard varieties, from 50 states and 60 countries around the world.
Squeeze inside and you'll discover some of the most treasured items from mustard history, including antique mustard pots and vintage mustard advertisements. Next, grab a seat at the famed Mustard Piece Theatre and take in The Spice of Nations, easily, the most groundbreaking piece of mustard cinema of all time.
Let it be said that when it comes to weird museums, this one really cuts the mustard.
2. Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia. Burlingame, California
Who would have known that those little bricked shaped candies with the funky dispensers could spark a revolution?
From Mickey Mouse to Abraham Lincoln, nearly everyone has had their five minutes of Pez Fame. In fact, when browsing the thousands of PEZ artefacts on display here (the world's largest collection), you'll be taken on trip through American cultural history, remembering every fad and fashion along the way.
You can even immortalize yourself in PEZ history, by putting your face on a PEZ dispenser of your own. Sweet.
3. Spam Museum: Austin, Minnesota
Few foods are as revered or as ridiculed as Spam that pre-cooked pinkish mystery meat in a can. While its taste is definitely an acquired one, no other meat can claim to have powered the allies to victory in World War Two (our soldiers ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner).
For most of us, Spam is more than just a food, it's an American Icon. An icon surely worthy of 16,500 square feet of museum space.
Step inside this Spam Mecca (set in the former Harmel Foods factory) and you'll find decades of the best Spam memorabilia along with vintage Spam advertising and Spam trivia. You can even try your luck at canning your own spam and bring it home in time for dinner. Delicious?
4. Barbed Wire Museum: McLean, Texas
It's guarded our land, defended our countries and kept prisoners in check. It's only appropriate then that barbed wire should have its own museum.
Crawl inside the wire and you'll find over 12,000 square feet of barbed history packed into this former brassier factory (sorry no underwire on display). Explore hundreds of flesh tearing samples, discover how barbed wire is made, or go all out and bring in some barbed wire of your own for an appraisal. Yes, you can have your barbed wire appraised!
If you're still lusting for more barbed wire, head to the Kansas Barbed Wire Museum in La Crosse Kansas. Here, the annual Kansas Barbed Wire Collectors Conference brings close to 100 barbed enthusiasts together each year.
5. Vent Haven Ventriloquist Museum Fort Mitchell, Kentucky
I speak for myself and others when I say, "this is one zany place".
Drive into Fort Mitchell, and let ventriloquism history expert and curator Lisa take you on a personal tour through this mad house full of talking heads. Along the way you'll see everything from clown dummies, to Carter and Reagan dummies (though in that case, it might not be easy to tell the difference).
Vent Haven's pinnacle display boasts rows upon rows of dummies seated cordially at school desks, staring you in the face. One look and you'll be... speechless.
6. Liberace Museum: Paradise, Nevada
A museum as eccentric and bizarre as the man himself. If it glitters, shines or sparkles, you're likely to find it here. Just remember to keep your sunglasses on as you head inside.
Liberace's personal collection of rare antique pianos, classic cars, jewellery and what might be the flashiest wardrobe of all time, are all here for your personal perusal.
Before you go, stop for a photo in front of Liberace's famous 9-foot high mirrored grand piano. You may not be able to play like him, but at least you can look the part.
7. Marvin's Marvellous Mechanical Museum: Farmington Hills, Michigan
This is what happens when a hobby gets out of control.
What started as a personal collection of mechanical knickknacks and nostalgia has become a 5500 square foot museum, packed to the brim with arcade machine madness, side shows and memorabilia. Not one square inch is left unclaimed or undecorated.
The best part of it all, everything from the ancient fortune telling machines to the miniature merry-go-rounds are in full working order. Interactive exhibitionism at its best.
Whether for adult or kid, this is one marvellous place.

MCT - Episode 130 - Top 5 - Hot Pants and Hair Glitter
Going on a date? Make sure you are carrying a chic handbag that matches the mood, if it is the first date make sure your handbag matches your attire perfectly, so that you can impress the one you are about to meet.
Handbags on a date should be something like purses, these should be easy to carry, chic and attractive and should match your dress and style. You can select any out of the ones with straps that you can carry on your shoulder and the ones that you need to carry in your hand like tote.
You can check all celebrities and the way they hold their handbags in style, most of the celebrities have expensive handbags and purses so no doubt each of their photographs does include the handbag. Some of these are so small they might carry only a lipstick and a compact nothing more.
It is always better that you can carry a decent sized handbag, large enough to help you fit in all your stuff and small enough to look like a handbag and not luggage carrier, this is a must for a date. A handbag will surely add elegance and style to your dress making you look as attractive as ever.
What you should carry in your handbag depends on what type of a date you are going to? A first date will mean you should carry a cell phone with you, make up is a must, just in case you need it. Make up should include a lipstick, the same one you are putting on right now, a compact powder of lotion, mascara/eyeliner, lip liner, and that's about it. You can also try including a small perfume bottle. You should also carry money and cards in a separate wallet so that it is easy for you to find money when you need it.
If you are deep in relationship and are on a normal date with your beau, then it would be ideal to carry some small and simple gift, it can be something inexpensive too, however, it should be something special, special enough to bring a smile on your beloved's face. Gifts too, can be carried in your handbag; gifts without occasion are dearer than the ones given on a special date.
Carrying important documents like the driver's license would be a great idea just in case you are going to drive, if not then too, driver's license does not take up much space. If you are in an intimate relationship or at a stage where you would be involved intimately with this person, you should carry one thing that is most necessary; it will protect you against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. If you are looking for fun with this partner, carrying a condom will help you avoid any tryst with AIDS.

The curly haired woman is often times the envy of most other women. It is the hair that is most sought after for special occasions and events - whether we want light curls or loose curls, tight curls or unkempt curls. And if you do not have it naturally, then you could either resort to the chemical presses for a more permanent curly haired look, or you could try conventional curlers and curling irons more a one-time look.
The curly hair however is one that needs careful care before you can reap the benefits of beautifully healthy curls. A curly haired person needs to understand that combing or brushing is not recommended - you will comb or brush your beautiful curls away! In addition, curly hair needs a lot of moisturizing and sometimes curl activation products. Once you take careful care of your curls, you will get those locks to look just like the celebrities in the movies and magazines.
One of the most important aspects of styling the well-maintained curly head is the length of the hair. The woman with short curly hair is limited with her styling options, and more than anything is faced with the daunting task of trying to tame the wild locks. This does not mean however that one has to live with the unruly pile of curls at the crown of your head. You can try side paths if your hair is long enough to bring it out of your face, or allow only gentle whispers of curls to fall on your face to compliment its features. Clips and hairpins can also be used to pin the hair up in various positions that could be entirely up to you and your personality.
The medium length and longer length curly hairs are much more forgiving to style and cut. Medium length curly hair is easy to tame and has a versatile range of styles that you could choose from for styling. Whether you choose the keep your hair upswept or down loose, the curly hairstyle is one that is easy to maintain and simple to adjust. For an upswept option of the curly hairstyle, you could try piling the hair at the top of the head and allowing the curls to fall freely in any direction. Another curly hairstyle for the medium length hair is to clip up selected pieces of the hair allowing soft tendrils to escape in an unkempt but well maintained look. Both of these options are suitable for the romantic special occasion, but for the more casual look you could simply pull your hair in a tight pony at the crown of your head or let it hang loose as you desire.
The long curly hair can afford a bit more variation than the medium or short curly hairstyles. For a simple but classy look, you could try simply pulling your hair in a loose knot at the back while allowing soft curls to frame the face. You could also try options such as hair pins and other hair accessories to create beautiful variations in hairstyles.

not knowing what to wear to a young girls funeral.
I think of Lord Byron
a poem I memorized as a young girl
similar days
another friend lost to early frailties.
I whisper those words to you in part:
"And thou art dead as young and fair
as aught to mortal birth;
And form so soft, and charms so rare,
Too soon returned to Earth!
Though earth received them in her bed,
and o're the spot the crowd may tread
in carelessness or mirth,
There is an eye which could not brook
A moment on that grave to look"
Ah yes, so I beheld it not
I beheld them not.
It is not I.
I said those words so often
I bare no excuse at all.
It was not I?
Tender is this day
Colors seem muted
or is it that they are too bright?
Blades of grass remind me of your journey
as I walk I feel you all over again.
Worlds below the grass
things I never noticed.
I cannot bend the colors
nor the blades of grass
their day is set.
I sing only in shadow
now filled with regret.
It was not I.
We had pizza last night for dinner
frozen from the grocery store.
I fed the cats and dog this morning,
heard an airplane overhead,
people going places
living their lives
continuing on.
I think of you often
I remember that last day
and I kiss your shadow.

Kathy Ostman-Magnusen Fantasy Art Woman
I am a figurative artist and illustrator living in Hawaii. Most of my work is painted in oils. I also do sculpture. I illustrated for Hay House Inc.,"Women Who Do Too Much" CARDS taken from Anne Wilson Schaef's book. I also illustrated for Neil Davidson, who was considered for the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing, and several other publications. My paintings are collected worldwide.
In every single one of my paintings my objective is to 'know them'. To let character reveal their own vision or message. I am often astounded as their presence unfolds and I am met with who they are. I then realize that who 'they' are defines me as well. My hope is that my paintings & sculptures relate to you, and that legends of mermaids; whimsical angel pictures; and tooth fairies fantasies give you the message you need for your own heart and soul. http://www.kathysart.com and http://kathysart.blogspot.com

Do you dread doing laundry? Are the piles growing out of control? Putting it off won't make it go away. Let's face it - dirty laundry is a fact of life. But doing laundry becomes less of a chore when you have an efficient, pleasing room to do it in. If you want to create a laundry room that not only looks good but also works well, here are some tips to help.
Purge First
Before making any attempt to organize the laundry room, do a thorough purge of old, unused supplies. Toss out misshapen hangers, the box of hardened laundry detergent and all those socks without partners you've been saving in hopes of a reunion. Any items that don't belong in a laundry room can be placed in a 'move elsewhere' box for now and distributed to the appropriate room later.
Creating Zones
Consider the various tasks that have to be done and create proper places for these activities. In addition to a washer, dryer and sink, you'll need an area to sort, air-dry and iron. You'll also need a convenient storage area for supplies.
Sorting Strategies
• Save time and trouble by keeping a hamper for dirty clothes in each bedroom. Lightweight hampers with handles can be carried to the laundry room easily. Vented hampers let clothes breathe to prevent mildew.
• Use a laundry sorter to divide dirty clothes into three basic groups: whites, darks/colours and delicates/hand washables. Invest in a durable sorter; one with canvas bags that hang from a metal frame will hold up well.
• To avoid the missing sock syndrome and make it easier to distribute clean socks to their rightful owners, give each family member a colour-coded mesh laundry bag for his or her dirty socks. Wash and dry the socks while they're still in the bag. Then, deposit the bag of clean socks in each person's laundry basket.
Drying Delicately
To air-dry delicate items, use a retractable clothes line, a folding drying rack, or a shower curtain tension rod hung over the washer and dryer.
Ironing With Ease
If you have a front-loading washer and dryer, install a countertop over the machines for folding clothes. If you want to use it as a handy ironing surface, build the countertop out of MDF, glue some foam on top and cover it with heat-resistant sailcloth. Alternatively, you can install a hinge-top table that hangs from the wall and folds out of the way when not in use; hang the ironing board and iron on an over-the-door hanger to save space.
Storing Strategies
• Store laundry supplies in built-in cabinets or shelving over the machines or in a near-by freestanding unit. For both convenience and safety, make sure you install these at a height where you are not reaching too high: no more than about 6 inches above shoulder height.
• If space is tight, slide a skinny rolling caddy in the gap between the washer and dryer to store laundry supplies.
• Use wicker baskets or clear plastic bins to house dust rags, mesh garment bags and dryer sheets. Designate a basket for stain removal products and sewing supplies (for quick repairs). Group items by type and label each container for easy access.
• A mini-sized wastebasket on a shelf is a handy place to keep lint from the dryer or used dryer sheets until garbage day.
• A small clear jar can act as a temporary home for loose change and buttons that mysteriously appear in the machines after you've done a load.
More Timesaving Tips
• Designate a laundry basket in a different colour for each family member. Label it with their name so there's no confusion. As clean clothes come out of the dryer, place them in the appropriate basket. Deliver each person's basket to their bedroom and have them fold and put away their things.
• Teach everyone in your home (over the age of about ten) how to do his or her own laundry. This is a life skill that everyone needs to learn eventually. Post instructions on the wall for easy reference. If your children are too young, get them involved by helping to match socks or fold towels.
Brighten Up
Now that you've made your laundry room functional, reward yourself by making it esthetically pleasing as well. Paint it a cheerful colour, add a colourful throw rug and hang something decorative on the wall.
Following these simple tips will wash away your laundry day blues, making the chore quicker, easier and more pleasant. Once you've created an attractive, functional space with easy access to all your supplies, you'll spend less time doing laundry and more time enjoying life.
