Back and Shoulder Acne ???

i’d recommend talking to your doctor about getting an oral prescription medication, but you have to be ready for the commitment and know that i won’t take affect right away. i did and i’ve seen amazing results

Arsonists, whiskey are not tax deductible
By Edward J. Loughrey So, they put out pet food to attract wild cats. The cats came, ate the food and cured the rodent problem. The owners deducted the cost of the food and when it went to court, they ruled that it was a valid business expense. A taxpayer had to hire someone to watch his pet all day while he was at work.

Using The Essential Oil As A Home Cleaner

 Lavender essential oil should have a place in any natural cleaning fan’s cupboards. With its antiseptic germ-killing properties and fresh scent that everybody loves, lavender oil is one of the most popular essential oils in use.

So how do you use lavender essential oil? This may become a part of your daily routine and during the house cleaning.

1. To make disinfectant spray. Mix equal proportions of vodka and water, or 2 units of white vinegar to one unit of water in a spray bottle. Add in about 10–20 drops of lavender essential oil. Shake well. This mixture can also be used for cleaning glass as well as being used as a general everyday disinfectant.

2. To make air freshener. Either put 10–20 drops of essential oil in water in a spray bottle, or put the same amount of lavender essential oil in a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar. Shake well before use to disperse the oils. You can also use the disinfectant mixture as an air freshener.

3. Scenting your rooms: Dab a little lavender oil on a cold lightbulb before switching on, or rub a little onto a radiator. When the lightbulb or the radiator heats up, the lavender oil will be released and dispersed through the room. Alternatively, use an aromatherapy burner of the type heated by a tealight candle.

4. Scented stationery. Put a few drops of lavender oil on a bit of tissue paper. Tuck the tissue paper into writing paper, scrapbooks, journals, etc.

5. Bath salts: Get about a cup full of common table salt of any type and put it in a screw-top jar. Add in 20 drops of lavender oil. Shake well so the smell is dispersed through the salt. Leave it to mellow for a bit before using. If you want, you can tint the salt a delicate purple by mixing a few drops of food colouring into the salt.

6. As a massage oil: Mix about 10 drops of lavender essential oil in a cup or so of light oil (sunflower oil is good, but olive oil is a bit too strong, although it’s lovely for the skin). Leave it to mellow together for a week or so before use. This oil can also be used as a bath oil.

7. In the bath: Simply put 10 or more drops of oil into the bath while it’s running. As lavender oil is very calming and soothing – one of the reasons it is prized in aromatherapy – this is the perfect way to unwind after a hectic day.

8. As a steam inhalation. Fill a bowl with boiling water and add 5 drops of lavender oil. Cover the bowl and your head with a towel in a sort of tent. Stay under this tent (don’t touch the water) for at least five minutes, breathing deeply. Great for relieving congestion and headaches caused by a nasty cold.

9. Making liquid lavender soap. Get an ordinary bar of soap and chop it up into rough cubes. Put this into a container. Pour about a pint of boiling water over the soap. Leave the soap to melt and then re-congeal into goo. Add about 20 drops of lavender essential oil and decant the goo into an airtight container. Use this for washing delicates (the lavender scent is perfect for woollens and repels moths) or for handwashing. You can use it for washing nearly anything, including the floor and the car!

10. Ironing spray: Fill a spray bottle with plain water and add 10 drops of lavender oil. Spray your shirts, etc. with this before ironing them. Makes the chore of ironing into a pleasure!

More ambitious people can also try their hand at using lavender essential oil to make their own perfumes and cosmetics, or in other handcrafts like soap and candle making.

Fair Trade or Fairly Traded? Fair Economy Promoters Share Views With Onegreenglobe.com Community

FEATURE

FAIR TRADE

As consumers, we don’t always think about the impact of our purchasing power. How many times have you actually stopped to ask yourself, “Where was this craft, coffee, chocolate, or tea produced, and did the worker receive a fair wage for his or her work in the production process? That probably hasn’t happened too often. After all, we live in a consumer society conditioned with not just an individual, but a collective consumptive mentality. That those products represent some of our largest imports from under-developed nations whose cost of living increases against a backdrop of stagnant wages, makes this a topic well worth consideration.

Not many of us have the phrase “Global Equity” etched across the top of our weekly shopping lists – although that may not be such a bad idea. Conditioned to believe that we need the next best thing and in ever increasing quantities, we’ve moved through much of our lives down a consistent though generally thoughtless path of frenetic purchasing activity.

Fair Trade is an organized endeavor to correct that course. It serves to help marginalized workers and small scale producers to attain economic self-sufficiency and stability toward an increased standard of living. Fair Trade promotes the practice of fair pricing and ethical consumer consumption through international labor standards, environmentalism, education, and the development of social policies around labeled and unlabeled Fair Trade products.

Contemporary economics traditionally driven by consumerism has been focused primarily on the relationship between product quality and price. Fair Trade seeks to create an equitable exchange and so has developed a labeling and certification process as a means to further protect workers and producers, while assisting consumers in their conscientious shopping activities.

The Fair Trade Debate: Fair Trade Versus Fairly Traded

There are two major camps of debate surrounding the Fair Trade issue: one that sees Fair Trade as an unnecessary subsidy that impedes economic growth; and one that sees organized Fair Trade as paying lip service – that Fair Trade is not enough and somewhat falling short of a thorough challenge to the current trading system.

Amidst it all is the promising hope of change. With the advent of (CSR) Corporate Social Responsibility at the big business level pushing for responsible action, to public education and the quiet conscious efforts of smaller businesses and organizations who have long known and understood the importance of economic equality – Fair Trade has moved from a remote public consideration to a genuine model of moral socio-economic behavior.

One company that plays a strong role towards effecting this type of change is Camano Island Coffee Roasting Company based in Camano, Washington.

Whether you’re a coffee aficionado, a tea drinker, or neither, Camano Island Coffee Roasting Company serves as an excellent example of a company that exemplifies the true meaning of Fairly Traded products.

Camano Island Coffee Roasting Company http://www.camanoislandcoffee.com

Jeff Ericson, founder and co-owner of Camano Island Coffee delivers more than great tasting organically grown coffee products.

He is not just another well seasoned businessman singularly concerned with the bottom line either — Jeff understands the true long-term value of equitable trade, and with proper balance… how to successfully join Fair Trade principles with strong market economy business practices to the benefit of all.

He believes that Fair Trade is not enough:

“We not only must make sure that a fair price is paid for the coffee – we also need to make sure that the farmers own the land that they work on. We need to make sure the children are getting basic health services and learning to read and write – so we do not repeat this process again in the next generation. We need to make sure the people are not totally dependent on just one crop (like coffee) – but that they have other ways to make money. We need to make sure that the village we work with has learned to work together as a team and can create streamlined approaches to business challenges of a rural area and that they have clean water to drink.”

THEN- we can pay a fair price for their coffee while requiring the coffee is organic and shade grown.

The challenge with a bureaucracy is that they tend to “lower the bar” in order to get everyone (even the big guns) into the pack.

We feel sustainability is a commitment – not a marketing term. If you do anything less then 100% in your purchasing decisions of coffee – then we feel you should not call yourself “fairly traded”.

We use the term “fairly traded” because we do not feel it is our role to promote a bureaucracy but to promote a practice of responsible consumerism.

Jeff has built his organization based on principles of quality, equality and service, not simply a series of campaigns to remain favored in the public eye. When you look into the community at large, you find both a man and a company that lead and inspire. They provide exceptional organic coffee products that are produced with the utmost regard for sustainability. It is a system that is vigorously enforced, providing fair-trade wage and opportunity to the coffee farmers who work so hard to maintain that delicate balance of health and prosperity.

What makes this coffee so special? Camano Island Coffee beans are 100% organic, shade-grown which preserves the native plants, and fairly traded using the top 1% of the available coffee market. The company aims to develop “Prosumers”, or customers who are conscious of the impact their dollars have on coffee spending.

To help customers enjoy these benefits, Camano Island Coffee offers, “The Coffee Lover’s Club”. the Coffee Lover’s Club is a great program that provides two pounds of coffee each month (your choice) for just $24.90, plus you get a 1/2 pound share-bag of their coffee of the month – delivered straight to your door at no extra cost!

“I like it when people share our vision, but if they don’t, we still want them to buy if they want the best coffee in the world.”

A strong part of the philanthropic vision is realized through its mission-based business model. The company participates in two key charity programs:

Coffee Kids: Grounds For Hope – an international organization established to improve the quality of life for coffee-farming families; and Agros International – an organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty for families in Central America and Mexico by enabling landless communities to achieve land ownership and economic stability.

Camano Island Coffee Roasters donates $1 of ever Coffee Lover’s Club program purchase to one of these two key organizations, by customer choice.

Tanning Bed Bulbs: The Secret to the Best Tanning Beds

If you’re thinking of investing in good tanning beds, you have to know everything that’s involved in the purchase – the amount of electricity that will be used, the kind of cushion that would be best for your purposes… and the kind of tanning bed bulbs you’re planning to use. Normally you wouldn’t need to consider these because your bed manufacturer will be able to advise you on the kinds of bulbs that you need to use. But if you wish to make the best of your investment, you would do well to do your research first – look up the different bulbs that will produce different tanning effects.

Tanning bed bulbs are at the heart of the perfect tan – they’re literally the very source of it! You must invest in good bulbs if you want to achieve your tan in optimal strength, and in the best possible time. Bulbs that are stronger than ordinary may require you to spend less time on the bed – and use extra strength tanning lotions as well. If you have an advisor on cosmetic matters, you may wish to consult him or her first regarding the tanning procedure – this is only to ensure that you’ll manage to avoid accidents and bad purchases.

Many tanning bulbs use UVA light – a light that is quite intense, in fact more intense than natural sunlight. This means if you don’t observe the proper precautions, using a tanning bed may lead to some pretty serious skin diseases… even skin cancer, at the extreme.

In fact, skin specialists generally don’t recommend the use of indoor tanning machines, as the lights used in tanning beds are quite strong, and overexposure could have some rather severe consequences. But careful use and maintenance of tanning beds ought to enable you to enjoy their full benefits without fear.

If you’re going to be maintaining your own tanning bed, you should have an idea when you should replace your light bulbs. You can do this effectively by purchasing – and subsequently keeping an eye on – a UV light meter. Most bulbs will last 700 hours at over 70 percent efficiency; but as soon as it dips below 70 percent brightness, it’s time to replace your bulbs. Bear in mind that ordinary tanning bulbs are 100-watt. They are also F71 type and bi-pin.

If you don’t want to suffer from the ill effects of indoor tanning, make an effort to buy good tanning bed bulbs, and to replace them regularly. Caution and knowledge are the only two things you need to achieve the perfect tan.
