TOUCH UP THAT MAKEUP
Posted on | July 30, 2010 | No Comments
The average woman absorbs 4.4 pounds of chemicals every year from makeup! This should pretty much freak you out. According to scientists in Australia, every year, the average woman absorbs about 4.4 pounds of chemicals into her body because of her makeup.
- On the average day, between face creams, base, lipstick, eye shadow, hair spray and everything else, a woman can apply as many as 175 chemical compounds to their skin and hair.
- The good news: In theory, all of those chemicals are actually safe. The bad news: That’s not 100% guaranteed.
- There’s a group of preservatives called parabens that are in about 99% of leave-on cosmetics and 77% of rinse-off ones… and some experts think they’re hormone disruptors.
- What that means: they can mimic estrogen… and, too much estrogen has been linked to a higher chance of breast cancer. They can also have a negative effect on male reproductive functions… but since men don’t wear makeup, it’s not as much of a problem.
The researchers also found that the average woman inadvertently eats five lipstick tubes a year… which, over the course of her life, is the equivalent of about six pounds of pure lard.
Question: Is this enough to make anyone STOP using make-up or lipstick?

YOUR CRAVINGS DECODED
Posted on | July 13, 2010 | No Comments
From (Glamour) Dying for Oreos or chips? Your body may be trying to tell you something about your diet, says Keri Glassman, R.D., a New York City nutritionist. Tune in and avoid packing on the pounds when you crave:
- Salty or greasy food — It could mean you’re slightly dehydrated. “Salt holds water in,” says Glassman. “Your body may be trying to hang onto the fluids it’s got.” Aim for eight glasses of water a day.
- Candy or chocolate — It could mean you need protein. Without its slow releasing energy, your body will try to get a quick fix to boost blood sugar. Try a cup of yogurt it has 24 percent of your daily protein total.
- Bread or pasta — It could mean you don’t eat enough. Starches are already partially broken down, so your body knows carbs will give it energy fast. Be sure to eat at least 1,200 calories a day.
Maybe some of this make sense to you, I hope it does. Remember, we never actually LOSE weight, we have to WORK that stuff off. So get movin’! – Justin
Vampire Craze Inspires Teen Biting Trend
Posted on | July 13, 2010 | No Comments
Parents and Twi-Hards, LISTEN up!
Fans of Twilight and The Vampire Diaries can’t get enough of the vampire craze, but they may be taking their love of the supernatural beings a little too far. A new trend shows that teens are now biting each other to show their love and affection.
A new report shows that marking someone can be considered a form of physical abuse.
Also, when the bites are hard enough to draw blood, the trend can be a dangerous one. Medical officials say “That can be an entry for bacteria to get into the skin. You can set up for potentially some serious skin infections.”

Food That Can Help Sooth A Sun Burn
Posted on | July 7, 2010 | No Comments
A friend of mine is nursing a sunburn these days, as I imagine many of us are. So I found these remedies that use food. Some sound really weird, but if it works. Do you have any unique ways to help with sunburns? – Justin
Here are some natural sun burn relievers:
Fresh pickles
For centuries various sorts of pickles have been used to soothe the skin, applying thin slices of pickles for about 15 minutes and repeating every few hours as necessary.
Strawberries
Strawberries are cooling in nature and generate body fluids which are helpful after too much fun in the sun. Make a paste from mashed strawberries and apply to burned skin.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers have a lot of ions and minerals. To reduce the water content in the skin, slice cucumbers into thin rounds and place over puffy eyes for twenty minutes.
Oatmeal
This has been used in baths to help soothe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and poison ivy. For proper sunburn relief, use the Aveeno oatmeal bath packets which should be put into a bath of warm but not too hot water for about 15 minutes.
Dairy products
Cold sour cream or even milk which has gone bad. “It’s a very good cooling effect for the skin.” For instance, with sour cream it’s recommended applying it directly to the sunburned area for about 15 minutes.
Green tea
“Green tea, once cooled can be applied to sunburned skin to reduce the redness,” This is scientifically proven. Or, you can place green tea in the refrigerator, put it into a spray bottle and spray it onto sun burnt skin.” After black tea bags are cooled, they’re an excellent antidote to reduce sunburned eye puffiness. Simply apply to the eyes for 20 minutes.
Potatoes
For skin that’s been overexposed to the sun, apply a poultice of smashed, raw potato (including the skin) to the hot, burned area of your skin. “Potato reduces inflammation and has antibiotic properties healing burns and preventing infection.”
Eggs
Although they make a protein-filled meal when they’re boiled, scrambled or fried, eggs are also good for the skin. Eggs tighten your skin. “A little bit of egg treatment helps with inflammation.” “Crack an organic egg, discarding the egg white and yolk. Carefully remove the skin membrane from the shell and apply the sticky side to your burned skin. Allow the egg skin to dry on your burn and do not get it wet for two days. Eventually the egg will dissolve and your burns will be healed.”
Corn starch
Apply corn starch powder as if it’s powder you would use on a baby’s diaper rash, only this time it’s applied to the sunburned skin. “Dust it like powder and cover [the burn], leave it on until you shower.” Leaving it on for 24 to 48 hours is suggested.
Lettuce
Take a head of lettuce, boil it in water, discard the leaves, and let the juice sit in the refrigerator. Next, apply the juice to cotton balls and dabbling it on to the burn and reapplying every few hours as necessary. Vitamin C has great antioxidants and it fights free radicals.

Things We No Longer Say
Posted on | July 5, 2010 | No Comments
Here’s a list of things you might say to a kid and they would have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about:
- Why don’t you put a stack of “45’s” on the “hi-fi?”
- I can’t take your picture tonight, I forgot the “flash cubes.”
- Do you kids want to see a “double feature” at the “drive-in?”
- Who wants to play a game of Pong?
- Ethyl is just 29 cents a gallon.
- Smell the purple ink on the “ditto” paper.
- You just heat up the oil first, add the popcorn and shake the pan over the burner.
- Get your “skate key,” take apart your metal skates and nail them to a 2×4.
- Just stick your arm “straight” out the window for a left turn; for a right turn just angle your arm upward.
- That’s the “minute” hand and the other one’s the “hour” hand.
I’m sure you can add a few, and we would love to hear yours. email me at justin.flores@mlode.com

Drinking & Driving The Worst On July 4th
Posted on | July 2, 2010 | No Comments
There are more fatal traffic accidents during the Fourth of July weekend than any other weekend of the year. More than 400 Americans are expected to die on the highways over the holiday weekend.
July fourth is typically the worst day of the year for traffic fatalities. Although data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows July fourth is the deadliest day to travel, six of the 10 days with the most deaths were also holidays or near holidays. July 2 and July 3 are also in the top 10 worst days to travel.
Also, more motorcyclists are killed on July fourth than any other day. As you might have guessed, with the weekend barbeques and drinking, 41 percent of the deaths on July fourth involved people with high blood alcohol concentrations, as did 51 percent of the deaths on January first.
Top-10 days for traffic accidents:
10. September 2nd
9. July 2nd
8. August 12th
7. August 4th
6. August 6th
5. January 1st
4. August 3rd
3. December 23rd
2. July 3rd
1. July 4th
Wouldn’t be nice to wake up Tuesday and say “what a weekend”! Please drink responsibly. – Justin
