Skin Lightening Treatments

January 23rd, 2012

Last week I was watching some late night talk show that had the great Janet Jackson on. I haven’t seen the beautiful Janet Jackson in a while so I was glad to see that she is still around, busy as ever and looking great. I know how hard her brother’s (Michael Jackson) death was on the entire family, but they are still standing strong and plan on still entertaining the world the way they all ways have through out the years.

I couldn’t help wonder if she was using some type of skin lightening product, much like the skin lightening treatments that Michael became famous for using. The pictures of the both of them from back in the day definitely look like a skin lightening product has been used as well as a good amount of plastic surgery all the way around. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have an issue with cosmetic surgery or skin lightening products. I just wish that they were more up front and honest about it, when it is so apparent to everyone that their appearances have been altered. It’s really no big deal now a days. I do believe you would be hard put to find a celebrity that hasn’t tried to alter their looks.

Becoming a better writer in 2012

January 22nd, 2012

Guest post written by Diane Kimball

I’ve toyed around with writing short stories over the years, but I’ve never had the guts to actually try and get them published. Well, I decided that this year I should try and finally get some of my writing published. I’m not expecting to actually get paid for any of my writing, but I thought that it would be nice to at least get something in print so that other people can read it. Besides, I’m tired of just writing for myself, I would love for other people to actually enjoy my writing too!

I’ve been looking online for some tips about how to get published when I ran across the website debtcounseling.bankrupt.com. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to use the site to help our family evaluate options for our debt because you know that isn’t a problem that will just go away on its own, unfortunately.

I have gathered a few ideas about how to get my writing published, including some names for some literary magazines. I think that I’ll have to send in my work to some of those and see if I get any good response.

Argan Conditioner and Argan Shampoo

January 17th, 2012

Last night I finally tried the Argan Shampoo and Argan Conditioner that I received as a gift for Christmas through our Secret Santa party at work and I have to tell you that I am really impressed with the way this stuff makes my hair feel and look. They combine seaweed extract with Argan oil and Vitamin E so that it gently cleans and moisturizes the scalp and the hair and by golly it really works wonders. I’ll have to make sure and thank the co worker that drew my name, it is suppossed to be a secret but secrets are impossible to keep around that place!

Cyber Week and Other Interesting Finds

January 11th, 2012

I had no idea that there was a Cyber Week, good thing I check my Facebook at least once a day or I would miss out on all kinds of goodies like this. I also just found out that my uncle is in the hospital and my nephew has been diagnosed with COPD and sleep apnea and my sister is taking belly dance lessons. You just gotta love Facebook and all of the information that you can get quickly and pass on as well.

Pro Plants

December 26th, 2011

The center pieces that I ordered from http://www.proplants.com/ were a bit hit at yesterday’s Christmas dinner. My mother is a very difficult person to please, she seems to always find something to find fault with each and every time I host an event at my house. Last year she was very unhappy with the decorative turkeys that I used for centerpieces at Thanksgiving, she didn’t like the fact that she had to look at a turkey butt during the whole meal! This year she was most pleased with my selection from ProPlants.
