Grape seed extract for wrinkles

Many people are skeptical about grape seed extract, because of its reputation as a miracle cure for so many different conditions, and they say that the claims made about grape seed extract are too good to be true. Grape seed extract is said to be helpful for cancer, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, arthritis, skin disorders (including skin cancer), and for strengthening the immune system. Some manufacturers even claim that it will extend a person's life span. Most of these benefits have not been studied; however, the benefits of grapes and grape-based products for the circulatory system have been demonstrated in clinical trials, and research has shown grape seed extract to be useful for speeding the process of healing wounds. Wrinkles are not wounds, but the wound healing research suggests that grape seed extract may have a strong effect on skin cells. There is no research demonstrating that grape seed extract can prevent or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but there is some research suggesting that it may prevent sun-related skin damage.

Grape seed Extract as a Treatment for Wrinkles

Method
Buy capsules of grape seed extract, and take orally. There is no daily recommended amount for grape seed extract, but some experts recommend taking between 25–150 mg, one to three times daily.
Use a cream containing grape seed extract, and massage it into your skin once or twice a day.
Start with red grapes, and process them in a food processor. Apply to your face, and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse.

Why It Works

Grape seed extract contains proanthocyanidin, the same antioxidant that can also be found in grapes, grape juice, and red wine. Proanthocyanidins have been shown to strengthen the capillaries, help maintain the elasticity of the skin, and help stabilize collagen levels in the skin. Some normal degradation of skin cells is caused by the enzyme elastase, which is released when the skin is damaged or inflamed (such as when the skin is sunburned). Grape seed extract is thought to block the activity of elastase in the skin. It is also known to improve circulation, which helps all the cells and organs in the body to maintain better health. Grape seed extract also contains alpha hydroxy acids, which are commonly used in skin care products to help exfoliate dead skin cells.

Precautions

No supplement or skin cream can make up for decades of damage done to the skin by poor diet and exposure to the sun. One of the main causes of wrinkles is damage caused by years of sunbathing. If you are worried about skin health, supplements and creams containing antioxidants will help, but it is equally important to eat a nourishing, balanced diet, and drink plenty of water.

Grape seed extract is well tolerated by most people whether it is taken orally or topically. It has been used safely for up to eight weeks at a time in clinical trials. A few people, though, develop side effects from taking it. Side effects include headache, dry and itchy scalp, dizziness, and nausea. Some people are allergic to grapes; if you are, or suspect you may be, allergic, then you may want to try doing a patch test on your skin before using topical products containing grape seed extract more extensively

Rose Oil for wrinkles

Rose oil is an essential oil, an oil that is extracted using steam distillation. Rose oil is usually made from damask (Bulgarian roses) or from cabbage roses. Plants contain only a small amount of oil, so several hundred pounds of plant are required to distill an ounce of oil. As a result, rose oil is expensive but highly concentrated. Many people save money by buying a rose blend–rose oil mixed with a carrier oil such as jojoba. Rose oil is a common ingredient in anti-aging products and has a reputation for preventing wrinkles.

Rose oil natural treatment for wrinkles

Method
Place 15 drops of rose oil in two tablespoons of a carrier oil, such as jojoba, almond, apricot, or hazelnut. Or, buy a rose blend oil that is already mixed with a carrier oil.
Massage into damp skin. You may want to use steam first, to open your pores.
You can leave rose oil on your skin; there is no need to wash it off.

Why It Works

Rose oil contains over 300 different chemical compounds, each of which is said to act on the skin in different ways. Many of the compounds in rose oil are antioxidants and some are antibacterial. As an astringent, rose oil helps to pull the skin taut; as a moisturizer it hydrates. Rose oil is also believed to stimulate collagen production.

Precautions

People who use essential oils find their effects to be nearly miraculous, but no amount of oil will make up for decades of damage done to the skin by poor diet and exposure to the sun. One of the main causes of wrinkles is damage caused by years of sunbathing. If you are worried about skin health, topically applied products such as rose oil will help, but it is equally important to eat a nourishing, balanced diet, and drink plenty of water.

Rose oil is generally considered to be a very safe, low risk product to use. Some people with very sensitive skin have found it irritating. Those who are allergic to roses, or to the plant that is used in the carrier oil, should not use rose oil.

OLIVE OIL FOR WRINKLES.....

You can take olive oil orally, by eating a green salad with an olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Taking olive oil this way also gives you the benefit of the antioxidants and anti-inflammatories contained in dark green leafy lettuce. There are many other ways to incorporate olive oil into your diet, but putting it on salad is probably your healthiest alternative.

You can also use olive oil topically:
First, steam your face by boiling water, pouring it into a bowl, and then draping a towel over your head to make a steam tent.
Steam for five to 15 minutes.
Massage olive oil into damp skin.

Why It Works

Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat, which makes up about 25 percent of the fatty acids in the skin. Monounsaturated fat helps the skin to resist damage caused by oxidation. Olive oil is also high in vitamin E, which many health practitioners consider to be the most important fat soluble vitamin in the body. One tablespoon of olive oil contains almost nine percent of the RDA for vitamin E. Olive oil is high in other antioxidants as well, including polyphenols. Olive oil also contains oleocanthal, an anti-inflammatory.

Precautions

No supplement or skin cream can make up for decades of damage done to the skin by poor diet and exposure to the sun. One of the main causes of wrinkles is damage caused by years of sunbathing. If you are worried about skin health, supplements and creams containing antioxidants will help, but it is equally important to eat a nourishing, balanced diet, and drink plenty of water.

Olive oil is well tolerated by most people and generally regarded as safe. If you ingest large quantities of olive oil, it could cause diarrhea. Be sure to use extra virgin olive oil, which has lower acidity than other varieties. If you are using olive oil in cooking, be careful not to overheat it.

Good Football Story

A woman had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl.



As she sat down, a man came along and asked her if anyone

Is sitting in the seat next to her.



"No," she said, "the seat is empty."

"This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would

Have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in

The world, and not use it?"

Somberly, the woman says, "Well... the seat actually belongs to me.

I was supposed to come here with my husband, but he passed away.

This is the first Super Bowl we have
not been to together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, that's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else

- a friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?"



The woman shakes her head, "No, they're all at the funeral."

Letters to God to request a red bike........GOTTA LOVE THIS ONE

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner. Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for my birthday."

Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol's mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.

Carol's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.


______________________________

LETTER 1:

Dear God:

I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.

Your friend, Carol





Carol knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

______________________________
LETTER 2:

Dear God:

This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol



Carol knew this wasn't true either. She tore up the letter and started again.

______________________________

LETTER 3:

Dear God:

I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol


Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a bike. By now, she was very upset. She went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church. Carol's mother thought her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad.



'Just be home in time for dinner,' her mother said. Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. She looked around to see if anyone was there.. She picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.

________________________________

LETTER 4:

I GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.

Signed, YOU KNOW WHO

Excuses for Missing Work

10 Excuses for Missing Work
By Michele Marrinan, Monster Contributing Writer

We've all been there. It's a beautiful day, and you can't bear the thought of going into work. So you call in with some excuse about feeling ill, but you know in your bones that your boss doesn't buy it.

The feeling ill excuse is a short-term solution that won't win you any fans at the office -- someone else will have to pick up the slack, or you'll miss deadlines. And it won't help your career any. Here are 10 excuses -- five smart and five not-so-smart -- to help you save face and your sanity.

Smart Excuses

I've Earned It: No one can argue with performance. Come in two or three hours early -- or stay late -- for a week or two. Then negotiate a day off in advance. "Really work when you're there, so you'll be able to feel good about taking time off," says Andrea Nierenberg, president of The Nierenberg Group, a management consulting and personal marketing practice.

I'm Playing Golf with a Client: For this one to work, you've got to have a job that requires you to meet and court current and prospective clients. Neil Simpkins, an account executive at Oxford Communications, has used this one successfully. One note of caution: Meet the client; don't just say you did.

I Have a Doctor's Appointment: This excuse will get you out of work for a half-day or so. Make the appointment first thing in the morning or late in the day, say around 3 p.m. You can leave the office by 2:30 p.m. and get home (hopefully) by 4 p.m. The shortened day will help you recharge, especially if you schedule it on a Friday afternoon.

I Have Cramps: Before you dismiss this one, think about it: Who can argue? "It's such an embarrassing topic that nobody will ever challenge it," says Jennifer Newman, vice president of Lippe Taylor Public Relations. She has used this excuse -- and had it used on her -- successfully. "It's one of those things that men honestly have no clue about, and women can sympathize with." One important point: Don't use this one if you're a man. It'll never work.

I'm Working from Home: This is an excellent way to give yourself a break if your company allows it. Although you'll need to do some work, you can generally get away with a shortened day. And you'll eliminate your commuting time.
Not-So-Smart Excuses

There's a Death in the Family: Don't ever use this excuse if it's not true. Your employer will lose all trust in you. "I had an employee whose mother died -- twice," says David Wear, a Virginia PR executive. "He also had the misfortune of losing all his grandparents -- 12 of them -- during a two-year period."

I'm Too Sleepy: When she was a manager at IBM, Marilynn Mobley heard it all. This one still makes her laugh: The employee apparently took Tylenol 3 with codeine instead of a vitamin, because the bottles looked alike.

I Can't Get My Car Out of the Garage: This is another one that Mobley didn't buy. An employee said that a power failure was preventing him from opening his power-operated garage door. "I reminded him that there's a pull chain on it for just such cases," she says.

I Can't Find My Polling Place: Mary Dale Walters, a communications specialist at CCH, couldn't believe this one. A former employee needed an entire day to figure out where she had to go to vote in the presidential election.

I Have a Personal Emergency: This one is so vague that it rarely works. It could mean anything from fatigue to an appointment with your hairdresser, and your boss knows it.
Don't lie, no matter which excuse you use. "I'm not a believer in playing hooky, because it always comes back to you," Nierenberg says. "Don't lie to your boss, your supervisor or your clients. You're guaranteed they will be the ones you'll run into while you're walking down the street in your jeans."

Clean your Colon Without the Expense

A colon cleanse home remedy is something that anyone can do to easily clean the colon at home. By cleansing your colon at home, you can save money and have all the privacy and comforts that home has to offer. Keeping your colon clean and healthy is very beneficial for your overall health. Some benefits may include weight loss, less constipation and bloating, improved digestion, healthier skin, hair and nails, and more.

Home remedies for colon cleansing appeal to people because they are easily accessible and affordable. There are several ways to perform a home colon cleanse. One of the easiest ways is to increase your water and fiber intake. By eating more foods rich in fiber and drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, you will be able to effectively cleanse your colon. Some foods that are rich in fiber include broccoli, peas, beans, whole grains, bran, figs, and apples to name a few.

Many herbs are considered to be an effective colon cleanse home remedy. The herb Psyllium is a very effective colon cleansing herb due to its laxative properties that help with the elimination of bowels. Flax seeds, particularly ground flax seeds, can also help with the movement of bowels. Fennel is known to help eliminate mucus from the colon. Barberry is helpful to stimulate the colon. Ginger also stimulates the colon and can reduce bloating. Aloe leaf is considered to be a very good natural laxative. Garlic can eliminate toxins from the body and is helpful to reduce parasites.

Magnesium oxide is also another very good colon cleanse home remedy. Magnesium oxide rich products can be found online or in health stores and can be mixed with water and consumed to cleanse the colon naturally. Magnesium oxide works by increasing oxygen in the colon and helps the colon function better, thus removing toxins from the body.

Fasting is another method that can be used as a colon cleanse home remedy. By fasting you provide rest to your system by giving it a break from digesting solid food. During fasting, you consume only liquids such as fresh fruit or vegetable juices. In addition to helping your colon eliminate toxins, fasting is said to also help your liver and kidneys eliminate toxins as well.

Another common colon cleanse home remedy is the salt water flush. This method includes mixing two teaspoons of sea salt to two quarts of pure water. You drink this solution throughout the morning, and you can expect to frequent the restroom a lot throughout the afternoon.

Whichever colon cleanse home remedy you choose, it is very important to eat healthy foods both during and after your cleanse. Avoid processed foods, and avoid fried, fatty, or oily foods. Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and make sure to drink plenty of water each day. By cleansing your colon and eating right, you will feel a tremendous difference in your overall health and well-being.

Vicks Vapor Rub ---- Put where for coughing????

VICKS Vapor Rub - INTERESTING

During a lecture on Essential Oils, a group was told how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

Some of us have used Vicks Vapo Rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapo Rub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly

Just happened to tune in A.M.. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

I tried it on myself when I had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! It felt like a warm blanket had enveloped me and coughing stopped in a few minutes. So I went from every few seconds uncontrollable coughing to sleeping cough-free for hours every night I used it.

If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.

DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..

Christmas came and went so fast

picture 2: my stepson, Philip, his wife Mandy and children Andrew, Emily, and Connor
picture 3: my son, Kevin, his wife Debra and children Carter, Mason, and Adam
picture at the bottom: It is ME, the Christmas witch

IT IS OVER AND I LIVED !!!!
I always feel that since becoming an adult, I miss Christmas. No one will ever know the real hell I go through to hopefully give every one a good day or two with a clean, heavily decorated house and, with help, some good food. I hope at least one person walks away with a memory or two of Christmas at our house. Each year with my fibromyalgia and age both getting worse, it gets harder and harder. I love doing it, but it really kicks my butt. We had a great time this year and the proof is in the ...... pictures.
