| Take the time to listen to the songs of Alanis Morrissette and begin to appreciate and feel her fury and rage with life. Each song is performed perfectly though her creative and unrestricted expressions to capture her rebellious mood and feelings.
Where’s all the anger gone now? Well she is in her mid 30s and I guess maturity, tranquility and a bit of wisdom is starting to set in. She’s still the vocal — ‘Get out of my way I’ll do whatever I want’ Alanis. But now she’s found a way to creatively channel that energy into other worthy causes, like helping to Green the earth and environment. |

| Roses are red, violets are blue, if anti-aging is your goal, then rosehip oil is for you….. OK that’s pretty lame. Hope nobody cringed with goosebumps listening to my amature poetry rhyme. But the benefits of rosehip oil is endless. It has been scientifically proven to improve dry skin, scarring, pigmentations, fine-lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, skin elasticity and sun damage.
Rosehip oil comes from the “hip” of the rose, which is the seed pod or fruit of the rose that occurs after the rose petals fall off. Rosehip Oil is most effective as a daily moisturiser for the face and body, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated all day long. It specifically targets to enhance your skins barrier function by delivering skin compatible lipids that are undetectable on the surface of the skin, providing daily protection from dehydrating environmental conditions. |

| Putting genetics aside, you’ll notice a significant difference in your skin with each decade of life. Every phase has its challenges.
From the day you were born, you’re faced with thin fragile skin that is prone to eczema and other sensitivities. As you move into your teenage years, the increased oil production leads to breakouts and blemishes. Moving pass your oily acne years, you’re now faced with drier more dehydrated skin and fighting against fine lines. And as you get pass your 50s, your collagen production becomes weak and elastins become fragile leading to the challenges of wrinkles and skin sagging.
So as you can see, every phase of life has new skin challenges. The main idea however, is to maintain a consistent skin care regime using the ‘right’ skin care products for various aging phases.
AGE IS ONLY A NUMBER. You can easily slow down the clock by maintaining a healthy diet, having regular sleeping and eating patterns, controlling your stress, participating in vigorous exercise and AVOIDING THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT…… REPEAT AGAIN……STAY OUT OF THE SUN.

| I was asked recently by my good friend Elisa the different ways you can apply essential oils and whether different application techniques led to different therapeutic results. In answer to her question, I first needed to find out Elisa’s intended therapeutic goal in order for me to give the correct delivery method.
Broadly speaking, most people use essential oils for the skin, for sinus problems, for house hold purpose, for allergies, for relaxation, colds and flu, or for muscle tension. In Elisa’s case, her goal was to alleviate the painful menstrual cramps and sore back muscles. |

| Petroleum jelly is used widely as a personal care product and is commonly known as Vaseline. I’m sure nearly every person would have had contact with some form of petroleum jelly in the past.
Its place in the beauty industry is valid due to its most effective moisturizing properties making it a very effective lip balm for dry, chapped or inflamed lips. But its effectiveness comes with a price – a $3.95 price tag, plus the price of possible carcinogic health concerns in the future. |
