Today I was watching a video on the site of Yahoo that has impacted me. In the video Susan Jesko, former Miss America talks about the chemical ingredients in cosmetic products that can affect your health. She said that one day she went to go her doctor for problems with her skin, specifically on his scalp and skin of the neck. When she shows her doctor the products that she was using, he was able to identify that there were many chemical ingredients that was affecting her health. The toxins that cause these products were deposited on her face out from the top of his head and neck. Unfortunately these chemical ingredients had found in many products we use in the United States and only 10 are recognized as chemical substances that can affect the health versus 150 that the the European Union has already acknowledged. She said there is a 12 chemicals list that are harmful to the health are and we must avoid.

The Blacklist
Taken from her website, here are the 12 chemicals that we have to avoid.

Benzoyl peroxide
2. DEA (diethanolamine) , MEA (monoethanolamine) y TEA (triethanolamine)
3. Dioxin
4. DMDM hydantoin y imidazolidinyl urea
5. Synthetic Colors y Pigments
6. Parabens (methyl, butyl, ethyl, propyl)
7. FEG (polyethylene glycol)
8. Phthalates 9xenoestrogens)
9. Propylene glycol y butylene glycol
10. Sodium lauryl sulfate y sodium laureth sulfate
11. Sunscreen chemicals like avobensone, benzphenone y PABA

Makeup spring-summer 2009

March 4th, 2009

With spring also comes new trends and the makeup can not be left behind. In this new season comes with makeup shades fresh, soft and full of optimism. There will pink cheeks pulling a little red tones. The eyes will take strong tones (type 80s). They come in many shades of fuchsia aquamarine.

Here some examples:

As we can see the red lips are back to impose. But no longer red cherry tones but rather more vivid colors, like coral, fuchsia, shades of red wine and tomatoes. This type of makeup is very good at evenings as well for who want to bring a sexy image.

Here is the naked face make-up kind that makes us seem like we have nothing. This style is also carried on this summer. To achieve this effect you only have to get a base (of course the tone of your skin) then you put a little brown shadow on the eyelids, if you don’t want to see you so pale apply a bit of pink in the cheeks, a lip gloss and you are ready.

The other trend that we suggest for this spring-summer is to accentuate the contours of the face. Applying makeup properly can accentuate cheekbones by examples or refine the nose.

Super long eyelashes

In this new season will take either the long and thick eyelashes. No matter whether are false or painted black or brown, but must be long, border, well and sexy. For open more your eyes and give a touch of sensuality.

Bright pastel colors for your eyes

This one lets you play new trend with pastel tones, neutral colors are left behind this season, so it is our imagination..

Smokey Eyes

This is one of my favorite styles I like it because accentuate the eyes. Especially dramatic colors. To get this smokey eyes look use colors like indogo-blue (or dark blue) and brown or black and you will get this dramatic smoky eyes effect.

Pink cheeks

If you do not normally make up the cheeks and it’s time to do so. This season will be used many shades of pink on the cheeks giving an angelic image, an image of freshness and younger.

Woman wins house worth 2 million dollars in raffle

February 25th, 2009

Definitely there are people who are very lucky, the adage that money is not manna from heaven does not apply to some people. Susan Wells won a house worth two million dollars two days after her husband lost his job as a sales executive in a high tech company in Silicon Valley. The ticket was bought for the raffle to give a surprise for her husband’s wedding anniversary number 16 … … yes she gives a surprise to her husband and a very big one!

Wells still have not decided what to do, but Brad Wells can now say that the money has been a blessing. “I was fired on Wednesday and Friday, the company went bankrupt”

The draw was held by Community Action Marin, in California. With 1.3 million, two million last year. “In this economy, we are still blessed,” said Russ Hamel, director of development for the group, a private organization of social services.

Susan Wells said he celebrated with a nice dinner at home with their neighbors. “We will take a very good bottle of champagne.”
