Yes, you can give her moisturizer as a present, as long as it’s special and something she’d never get for herself. <a title="Night Rainew " href="http://aprilrainskinscience.com/night-rainew.html" target="_blank">Night Rainew</a> from April Rain Skin Science has 21 different elements including echinacea extract, wheat and soy protein and hydropeptide to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines.

That’s right…your pictures, comments, videos, ideas, music, poetry – you name it, they own it. With a few subtle changes to their terms of service, Facebook now owns all of your content forever. “All of the content you’ve ever uploaded on Facebook can be used, modified or even sublicensed by Facebook in every possible way - even if you quit the service.”<br /><div><a href="http://mashable.com/2009/02/16/facebook-tos-privacy/">Read full article</a></div>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-299093741595930402009-02-11T14:39:00.000-08:002009-02-11T14:41:19.208-08:00Water Increases Children’s Cancer Risk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY_yT-A5eP_9JiL4RYrhbB3c-LKKX7B1gZx65Q_bsDfHokIuwV_exaouzOdYzC-G8y_oauFsZe1qH9EKY-4JZ8eXC97tCZ8gPY_L4u1TMb-Ab6Awb-7nL5CI5w2P4J1jmttSkIZMDbW9IY/s1600-h/SNF0802TXN_401125a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301673556093204098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY_yT-A5eP_9JiL4RYrhbB3c-LKKX7B1gZx65Q_bsDfHokIuwV_exaouzOdYzC-G8y_oauFsZe1qH9EKY-4JZ8eXC97tCZ8gPY_L4u1TMb-Ab6Awb-7nL5CI5w2P4J1jmttSkIZMDbW9IY/s320/SNF0802TXN_401125a.jpg" border="0" /></a>A not so settling study reveals that “the number of beach, poolside and waterpark vacations children take before age 6 is directly related to the number of moles on their little bodies. A study of 681 white children in Colorado found that for each water-themed vacation, kids had 5 percent more moles — raising the risk for skin cancer later in life.“ It’s obvious that kids’ being around water usually includes exposure to the sun. However, “the results are startling enough that study author Lori Crane, a professor at the Colorado School of Public Health, is advising parents to rethink sun-soaked vacations for children.”<br /><div><a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_11634207">Read full article</a></div>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-13564089779541220612009-02-10T13:32:00.000-08:002009-02-10T13:41:54.694-08:00Lose Weight by Sleeping<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVobQxKWDVKeoiH1tjRqnrBVcOWFJJmxZsJimaVEOIPzScmqQ0OAX8HBfcMj997XPn5fW6ZjvGaRAv-Opw7p0W1TzEcRdfEiwGv_PRFLIhWxvfwwgmeAC4DWHLmjIJkMqhTTMYblN52VO/s1600-h/sleep-weight-loss.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301285122665679490" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 171px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVobQxKWDVKeoiH1tjRqnrBVcOWFJJmxZsJimaVEOIPzScmqQ0OAX8HBfcMj997XPn5fW6ZjvGaRAv-Opw7p0W1TzEcRdfEiwGv_PRFLIhWxvfwwgmeAC4DWHLmjIJkMqhTTMYblN52VO/s320/sleep-weight-loss.jpg" border="0" /></a>Who would have ever thought it could be this easy? Just sleep. No jogging, push-ups, sit-ups or anything like that. All you have to do get at least seven and a half hours of sleep a night – that’s it; simple but difficult. With work, family and everything else in your life it can be difficult to catch enough shuteye. At least two dozen studies have documented that people tend to weigh more if they sleep less, says Sanjay Patel, M.D., a researcher at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. In a 16-year study of almost 70,000 women, Dr. Patel and his colleagues found that those who slept five hours or less a night were 30 percent more likely to gain 30-plus pounds than those who got more rest.<br /><a href="http://www.glamour.com/magazine/2009/02/lose-weight-while-you-sleep">Read full article</a>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-13810398199775702422009-02-09T14:17:00.000-08:002009-02-09T14:23:05.555-08:00A Russian Paris Hilton?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5MJlL0yP1655zVJbQh_SK92WJPY28N7mcI4qcg4TjRXOVHjpSJaKFO5Yg1sFJdDs4Ycol1NIKSUS2ipWtFBAzq7Gfr3zTuKYEC179Dzl3O24JzVbiqG7Z5iKUGbblM9-NUpMrGBOiiq5/s1600-h/2CA1F18AA4635641C1BBDAD87F932.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300926452833415794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5MJlL0yP1655zVJbQh_SK92WJPY28N7mcI4qcg4TjRXOVHjpSJaKFO5Yg1sFJdDs4Ycol1NIKSUS2ipWtFBAzq7Gfr3zTuKYEC179Dzl3O24JzVbiqG7Z5iKUGbblM9-NUpMrGBOiiq5/s320/2CA1F18AA4635641C1BBDAD87F932.jpg" border="0" /></a>It could be the beginning of a diva cold war. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Hilton">Paris Hilton</a>, America’s favorite celebrity for no reason, could have a Russian rival. Katia Verber, “a dark-haired heiress with piercing eyes and perfect teeth, is like one of the Hilton sisters [only Russian]. She's the daughter of Alla Verber, who helps run Russia's biggest luxury retailer, Mercury, which brought Dolce, Gucci, and Prada to Russia in the mid-1990s. Katia works as a buyer at Mercury, but she spends much of her time posing for Russian glossies and deciding which party invitations to accept.

Who doesn’t dread having to get “dressed up” to go to work? Day after day you put on that coat and tie all the while dreaming of endless casual Fridays. Well change has finally come to D.C. This should come as no surprise because President Obama did “[promise] to bring change to Washington and he has — not just in substance, but in presidential style.” The rule of coat and tie in the oval office at all times is out the window. That’s not all… “He shows up at the Oval Office shortly before 9 in the morning, roughly two hours later than his early-to-bed, early-to-rise predecessor. Mr. Obama likes to have his workout — weights and cardio — first thing in the morning, at 6:45. (Mr. Bush slipped away to exercise midday.)”<br /><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28908079/">Read full article</a>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-27952936330552881312009-01-28T10:28:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:33:21.760-08:00Update Your Facebook Status<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixgT8ok9OMA2S8RKNQ46qNoXby0mKK_QbhKIK9NC1wupkC5fOupC7S2elTs-gEFWw1eG2hfn_pGPgXhkVIzzIf3MjThRHcrILdqZ6sMI8mddxpkBpx_G2fe-Ec4mqWQ-VRp4_g10wuY7Sd/s1600-h/rogerfacebook.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296414113392649362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixgT8ok9OMA2S8RKNQ46qNoXby0mKK_QbhKIK9NC1wupkC5fOupC7S2elTs-gEFWw1eG2hfn_pGPgXhkVIzzIf3MjThRHcrILdqZ6sMI8mddxpkBpx_G2fe-Ec4mqWQ-VRp4_g10wuY7Sd/s320/rogerfacebook.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>Joe is cleaning his room.

Wait, wait…it’s for a good cause! A local pet-supply store manager Suzi Wharton talked 15 of Goldsboro, North Carolina's most respected businesswomen out of their tops. Their animal shelter was in dire shape: “Each year around 7,000 dogs and cats arrived at the dank, 50-year-old building to be housed in overcrowded pens and stacked cat cages. Most never left. The place was so depressing that local residents didn't want to set foot in it, so even the most adoptable pets couldn't find homes and had to be euthanized.” Amazingly, “it took only 25 calls to potential models before she landed the number she needed for the July 2008-December 2009 calendar.” “When the Petals & Paws calendar debuted last May, 1,000 of the 3,000 copies were snapped up immediately. At press time the WCHS had grossed $25,500, with sales ongoing both locally and online at <a href="http://www.goldsboro-wchs.org/">http://www.goldsboro-wchs.org/</a>.”<br /><a href="http://www.lhj.com/relationships/family/pets/calendar-girls/">Read full article</a>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-60517302858224842572009-01-26T10:22:00.000-08:002009-01-26T10:25:06.036-08:00CSI Actor Saves YouTube Video<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOFJsueFnbPb42s8TR4gFAnPcEOs5noAs3eEB01_NX3I4zK0hBT-5r6eZsqoPXJB2G5joTqUl_8mB5t3v73vlrwHBreZQDkLHNck2jh9l2b0IDiayB_94dE6e_r8zfm8wo-BIbozFURhR/s1600-h/csi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295670186821296050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 154px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOFJsueFnbPb42s8TR4gFAnPcEOs5noAs3eEB01_NX3I4zK0hBT-5r6eZsqoPXJB2G5joTqUl_8mB5t3v73vlrwHBreZQDkLHNck2jh9l2b0IDiayB_94dE6e_r8zfm8wo-BIbozFURhR/s200/csi.jpg" border="0" /></a>It must have felt like TV when “<a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/">CSI</a>” actor <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0567162/">Gerald McCullouch </a>was recently attacked on a New York subway. “McCullouch, who plays Bobby Dawson on the hit CBS show, had just gotten off a plane from Los Angeles and was riding the A train when a man allegedly attacked him with a knife.” For most celebrities this is enough to give up any valuable– not McCullouch.

However, few products really live up to all of their claims and actually provide REAL results. “Ever since the explosion of creams that hyped themselves as better than Botox (and weren’t), skin-care companies have scrambled to rival professional treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels.” Because of this, it’s hard to find something really worth trying. I could suggest a lot of products for you to try but I will only endorse one. I recently got the opportunity to try Night Rainew® by <a href="http://aprilrainskinscience.com/">April Rain Skin Science®</a> and it has really made a difference in my skin. I felt it working from the very first time I used it. It’s not greasy and it made my skin feel soft, smooth and ultra-hydrated when I used it. It’s even been “<em>Reviewed and Recommended</em>” by <a href="http://truthinaging.com/">TruthinAging.com</a>! My advice: don’t believe ads and phony claims. If you want a face cream that will reduce you wrinkles and fine lines try Night Rainew®.<br />Read Night Rainew® Reviews<br /><a href="http://www.truthinaging.com/2008/12/reviewed-and-recommended-april-rain-night-rainew.html">TruthinAging.com </a><br /><a href="http://city-itis.blogspot.com/2009/01/reviewapril-rain-skin-science-night.html">Rural Glamour</a></div>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-34097314949153485752009-01-21T10:04:00.000-08:002009-01-21T10:06:11.095-08:00Eat a Grapefruit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNx6xG1L621er4I0TQ__5YaEBHaAouRsfgE3N92EUZ_F9LlE9P8uBr2MBYJIn2zRKU46uFUj2pr45HclpXY5ABSUask00-vFGg4sQQVSKyH0CPj98VzjOj0zyU9FRZNbqUdFuPlSnZabMp/s1600-h/350x350_grapefruit6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293809788534110818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNx6xG1L621er4I0TQ__5YaEBHaAouRsfgE3N92EUZ_F9LlE9P8uBr2MBYJIn2zRKU46uFUj2pr45HclpXY5ABSUask00-vFGg4sQQVSKyH0CPj98VzjOj0zyU9FRZNbqUdFuPlSnZabMp/s200/350x350_grapefruit6.jpg" border="0" /></a>Many foods get the reputation for being “healthy foods.” However, few can measure up to sometimes forgotten <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit">grapefruit</a>. The grapefruit is an “excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, potassium, folate and vitamin B-5, and contains lycopene.” If that isn’t enough, “a recent 12-week study from the Scripps Clinic confirmed that adding grapefruit and its juice to your diet three times a day can increase weight loss. Its flavonoid content also helps fight against free radical damage, which results in aging.”<br /><a href="http://www.skininc.com/treatments/wellness/nutrition/37218094.html?utm_source=newsletter-html&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SI+E-Newsletter+01-21-2009">Read full article</a>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-14218892139310355322009-01-07T10:16:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:20:01.628-08:00Double Double Miracles<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_d7vAlIyydmqa__Sliv-tqMCZDDe7HTu0p07gj6Bnyla9mXSHiP5cEpDDMlM1qQHAi7p0eJMSfLqgepvqpGoSU5ibBL95GHdTN_fByW6ulrSQt8oIIYtGN4K7fm9onCZU4IGGS-yUKAqt/s1600-h/061027_twins_skin_hmed2p_hmedium.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288618240617394562" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 132px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_d7vAlIyydmqa__Sliv-tqMCZDDe7HTu0p07gj6Bnyla9mXSHiP5cEpDDMlM1qQHAi7p0eJMSfLqgepvqpGoSU5ibBL95GHdTN_fByW6ulrSQt8oIIYtGN4K7fm9onCZU4IGGS-yUKAqt/s200/061027_twins_skin_hmed2p_hmedium.jpg" border="0" /></a>How did it happen…again? “Defying the odds for a second time, a mixed-race couple in England is once again celebrating the birth of twins who have a different skin color.” It’s been said that lightning never strikes the same place twice. “The chances of giving birth to a second set of twins with different skin colors is 1 in 500,000.”<br /><a href="http://news.aol.com/article/twins-with-different-skin-color-born/290834">Read full article</a>Becca Selfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510487140429227286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981764336918872244.post-12072719149244979022009-01-05T10:31:00.000-08:002009-01-05T10:33:38.716-08:00Make Your Best Move<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAxLIqxdjfSbCmHQo-8yLbevHfcsRQvjyyq3ltTBrEfP-qxBC6cReyn3Y5WqazTRJ2xwAV-auIHPu6t5Jg92Xha17RU8kIipJSEGFB6dSuxWAyIbaTxExHkYzLwXhCX0qeVPEjzgGix4I/s1600-h/online_dating_regular_dating.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287879590148918962" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAxLIqxdjfSbCmHQo-8yLbevHfcsRQvjyyq3ltTBrEfP-qxBC6cReyn3Y5WqazTRJ2xwAV-auIHPu6t5Jg92Xha17RU8kIipJSEGFB6dSuxWAyIbaTxExHkYzLwXhCX0qeVPEjzgGix4I/s200/online_dating_regular_dating.jpg" border="0" /></a>Don’t make the mistake of blowing it on your first date.
