Using Natural SKincare to combat Allergies & Eczema

All my life I have been a girl of self indulgence. I just loved baths, creams and body sprays, with one major problem, I was severely allergic to those chemical laden products, and was left using so called pure soaps that still left me with dry skin that was often accompanied by a rash. With a chemistry and nursing background, I soon learned enough about skin conditions and the chemical makeup of some of those product out on the market.

Friday Fun: Babies on Skates

It’s a summer Friday and thus The Juggle turns away from the stresses of the daily grind and ponders “babies on skates.” The term was the most searched on Google on Thursday morning, when folks started hunting for this Evian commercial , which features babies wheeling around to the hip-hop classic “Rapper’s Delight.” The commercial joins the baby commercial lexicon, along with the E-Trade baby (nearly 3 million views). These sorts of videos have been a popular Web thing since the ’90s when this video of a digitally rendered dancing baby was emailed around and eventually was used on the television show Ally McBeal.

Playing politics in a land of double Dutch

So many of the Dutch speak such near-perfect English that the tiny mistakes they do make can jar scarily — like when a Vulcan posing as a human gives the game away by a small but key failure to emote. Battling through the endless security checks, concrete barriers and razor-wire fences that must be negotiated before one gains access to any secure compound in Afghanistan, I was encouraged to see a spectacularly good-looking young Dutch soldier walking towards me with a most engaging smile.

Obama’s direct line to the heart of Africa

You need only read the heartrending Africa chapters of Dreams from My Father to realise that Barack Obama gets Africa. He struggles with his own feuding Kenyan family, where poorer members scrounge off richer ones, and he agonises over why this continent, full of smart, energetic people and rich in resources cannot get its act together. His own catchphrase, “Yes We Can”, seems to be answered by Africa’s, “But We Don’t”

Be like the plinth people: not set in stone

The Trafalgar Square fourth plinth project didn’t start that well. It got hijacked before it began — by an anti-smoking campaigner of all things. That’s a bit retro, isn’t it? Who’s next? The suffragettes? I guess they’d instinctively head for the plinth next door, to throw themselves in front of King George IV’s horse.

The Uighurs’ cry has echoed round the world

The massacre of Uighur demonstrators in the cities of Urumqi and Kashgar has been reported in every language, from English to Chinese to Portuguese to Arabic. While the intense repression against Uighurs is normally ignored by both the Chinese Government and the international media, the deaths of hundreds of protesters and the injuries of hundreds more has exposed the brutality of Chinese government actions toward Uighurs in a way that cannot be ignored

Back from Cali, knitting socks and staying off my feet…fun times!

Been awhile again since my last post.  I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to find the time or the energy for the computer these days for some reason.  I can’t remember the last time I actually checked my email.  If anyone has sent me anything and I haven’t responded, sorry.  I’m more apt to see something you send me on Facebook or Twitter than I am in an email…LOL  Kind of sad, huh?!?! So I went to California on June 9th and stayed for 3 weeks.  Seeing my mother is always so great

Tk. 300 cr climate change fund remains untouched

Rafiqul Islam Azad Not a single penny from 300-crore Taka Climate Change Fund allocated for 2008-09 fiscal either was released or spent due to indecision of the governments. The army backed caretaker government led by Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed allocated the fund for the first time in the country to deal with impacts and adoption of climate change but no discussion was held at any meeting of the council of advisers during its last six months in power till December last. The Awami League-led grand alliance government that took office early January this year had also taken no action to release or spend money during first six months.

Tesco Sold A Load Of Easter Eggs

This year I contributed to an article in the Telegraph about how the price of Easter eggs fell through the floor (or looked like it had) as a result of the collapse of Woolworths and all the Easter eggs they had allocated were redistributed to some supermarkets – including Tesco and now there was a follow-up piece in the Times . Their Finance Director, Mr McIlwee, said that they had “sold a lot of Easter eggs because Woolworths had disappeared and we sold out a couple of days early.” It’s good for consumers that they can buy cheaper Easter eggs in the one sense, but in the other, it ensures that they only stick to a couple of brands and aren’t encouraged to try other types of chocolate as their prices weren’t generally reduced.
