: Enough with the one and only! :
The Kurdish homeland has been invaded and occupied by those who consider themselves as the one and only. Throughout the history many invaders have occupied other people's land and many natives have left their homeland because of its occupation. A complete review of invasions is beyond the scope of this essay or the attention of many readers. Since all invasion and occupations have some common themes, the analysis of a fictional or red one might give insight into the real ones. Upon arriving in Redland we, the whites, claimed the new frontier was ours forever. The red natives had a strange understanding of property ownership. They believed the land is owned temporarily on a first come first serve basis and returns to the community later. The natives expected their adult offspring to take care of themselves as soon as they could instead of becoming spoiled by inheritance without sweat.
Polygamist dress a study in faith vs. fashion
(AP) -- For a society accustomed to the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, the images of the women from the polygamist compound in Texas are almost shocking in their understatement: Ankle-length dresses, makeup-less faces, hauntingly uniform hair. .
Oasis and 31 more businesses certified as 'green"
For Wendy-Rae Johnson, co-owner of a new salon, going green wasn't difficult. It just took time -- about four months. Oasis Hair and Skin Care, which opened in September at 1664 Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz, became the first salon in the county to be certified as a "green" business. A record 32 businesses will receive their certificates at a ceremony at 10 a.m. Tuesday hosted by the county's Board of Supervisors. Johnson, of Boulder Creek, co-owns Oasis with Pamela Freitas of Watsonville. Johnson, 47, who has 30 years experience, focuses on hair. Freitas, 56, an esthetician for eight years, specializes in facials and makeup. Johnson uses sulfate-free shampoo and collects hair clippings to be turned into mats to soak up oil spills. She chose bamboo and paint low in volatile organic compounds for interior improvements at the salon.
Water therapy for healthy skin
Water is a precious gift to mankind and forms almost 70 per cent of our body weight.
Therefore can you imagine how important water is for the smooth functioning of the body systems.
Lack of sufficient water causes:
Dehydration,
Difficulty in blood circulation,
Body gets less active and more tired.
Water also keeps the digestive tract in order
Helps to flush out the toxins and controls constipation.
No wonder then, that water acts as a natural remedy towards achieving a beautiful and healthy skin.
Dehydration due to decreased water intake or increased loss by way of evaporation leads to premature ageing. In this, the dehydrated skin shows in the form of fine lines and dryness.
Spa treatment: Mean feat of 'the cure'
Casilda Grigg reluctantly cries off the KitKats to sample a strict star spa Dr Max summons me to his consulting room for a pep talk. This is my first day of a punishing week-long detox "cure" at Henri Chenot in the Dolomites, a spa famous for its ability to slim waistlines, boost energy levels and restore morale to Italy's moneyed classes. It is one of the strictest spas in the world. Thanks to rationing, medical intervention, excruciating massages and vigorous water treatments, guests can expect to lose 2-5 kilos in a week. .
Fine Living: Marin skin care producers prove beauty doesn't have to be toxic
I'M NOT a frivolous skin care or cosmetic consumer. I don't like looking through a drawer full of barely used jars of creams, tubes of hair product or other beauty enhancers. And ever since Marin resident Karen Behnke, head of Juice Beauty, an organic skin-care line, told me that skin absorbs more than 60 percent of what we put on it, I'd rather not put on anything toxic. I really just want products that do what they promise, feel and look good, wear well, don't make my skin react and are toxic-free. So, I was curious when I got an e-mail from Katie Watts, the IJ calendar editor, who told me about a lip balm she liked "because it's light and silky and the lavender flavor is so exotic and unexpected." Her lavender balm ($5) for chapped lip prevention (the moisturizing mandarin or vanilla is better for soothing chapped lips) is from BeesWork, a company in Larkspur that prides itself on high-quality, synthetic-free products.
