Ireland - Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 (Mainly s. 6A (1)
Analysing the legality of the refusal to grant child benefit payments to parents who are not habitually resident within the State for the benefit of their children.
As the legal issues pertinent in each case are broadly similar in nature, the two cases were brought as a joint action.
The first action related to citizens of Afghanistan, who entered the State in May 2008. They comprised of a family unit. Following an erroneous finding that several of the family members were in fact Pakistani and later issuing a deportation order for said family members, their Afghan citizenship was subsequently proven, and in light of this the youngest child, , applied for and received refugee status. The other members of the family unit subsequently applied for and were granted family reunification pursuant to s. 18 of the Refugee Act 1996.
The legal issue that forms the basis of the proceedings is the negative decision issued by the State to provide child benefits to the mother for the children of the family unit. . According to the State an entitlement to child benefits depends on being habitually resident within the State. This requirement was not met by the mother by virtue of the fact that she was awaiting a decision regarding her residency application at the time of applying.
As to the second action, the applicant was a Nigerian national whose application for refugee status in Ireland was rejected. She later appealed the decision and is since awaiting an oral hearing. The applicant later had a child in Ireland who is an
Irish citizen and bears an Irish passport. Having received a letter dated 15th January 2015 from the Child Benefit Section, the second named applicant made a claim for child benefit on 16th October 2015. A negative decision in respect of this matter was issued on 2nd November 2015 as the first named applicant was not deemed to have a right to reside for the purposes of s. 246 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005. By virtue of her parentage of the child the mother was granted leave to remain in the State in January 2016 and she has been in receipt of child benefit payments since that date.
The legal issue at present is the mother's submission that child benefit should have been retrospectively paid from the date of birth of the first applicant on 23rd December 2014, up to the date in January 2016, when the second applicant was granted leave to remain.
The Court focused much of its deliberations on the issues of the nature of child benefit, refugee status and its consequences for child benefit applications, the habitual residence requirement and the jurisprudence of the European Union.
The applicants submission that the right to child benefit is a right for the child in question rather than the parent receiving it was unsuccessful, with the Court taking the view that although it is paid for the benefit of a child, it is paid to a qualified person for the benefit of the child and is not absolute or automatic in nature. An emphasis was placed on the requirement that the payments be made to eligible persons.
On the issue of the determination of refugee status, the Court was adamant that if an asylum seeker is granted permission to enter the State pursuant to s.9 of the Refugee Act 1996, and
refugee status is subsequently granted, the new legal rights to be afforded to the successful applicant are not to be backdated to the date upon which they were first granted entry to enter the State. In reaching its decision on this particular issue, the Court had due regard to the judgment delivered in BK (A Minor) vs. Minister for Justice [2011] IEHC where at para 10. Feeney J stated that "The provisions of the Act are such that a person who is found to be a refugee does not have the benefits of refugee status backdated under the Act", and it follows from this that any interpretation of s.9 of the Refugee Act 1996 that claimed otherwise would be contrary to the other provisions of the Act. Consideration was also had for the relevant provisions of the Geneva Convention, where a distinction was drawn between the use of 'Refugees' (Article 33) and 'Refugees lawfully staying in their territory' (Article 23). The latter are those who are lawfully present within the State, and therefore afforded a broader spectrum of rights.
The Court went onto rule that the status of the second applicant is unique in that her right to reside in the State was granted by virtue of her daughter being born in the State and her daughter's status as a EU citizen – such rights being referred to as Zambrano rights from the case Zambrano v. Office National de l'Emploi(ONEm) C- 34/09. It was submitted by the applicants that Zambrano rights are declaratory of a pre-existing right. The Court did not provide a detailed commentary on this aspect of the submissions but did state unequivocally that Zambrano rights would not serve to act as means of obtaining child benefit payments or to have such payments backdated.
In determining whether the requirement of habitual residence was discriminatory in nature, the court considered the findings in Genov & Anor v. Minister for Social Protection & Ors [2013] IEHC 340, in which Hedigan J stated that such a requirement was objectively justified on the basis that the State has limited resources for funding its social welfare system. Such a measure was therefore deemed to be proportionate to the desired aim. It was also pointed out that the measure was applied uniformly to all citizens and was not limited to application for child benefit, but was in fact a requirement for all Social Welfare payments. Applying the principles of that case to the one at present, the Court unequivocally stated that the presence of an asylum seeker pursuant to s. 9 of the Refugee Act 1996, does not confer a right of residence or habitual residence on the applicant. It was held that s. 246(8) of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 was not unconstitutional as it complied with the States obligations under the Geneva Convention and Council Directive 2004/83/EC.
On the issue of the alleged breach of the European Convention of Human Rights, it was held that while contracting States have minimum obligations to meet, they also enjoy a certain degree
of latitude in interfering with such rights provided it is done so in a manner prescribed by law. Citing the decision of Stec v. United Kingdom [2006] ECHR 162 it was held that contracting States enjoy a wider margin of appreciation regarding measures of "economic or social strategy" by virtue of the fact that national authorities are better placed to make such decisions. The applicants had access to direct provision at the relevant time and there was no culpable delay in their application, and as such there was no finding that there Convention rights had been breached.

New at Skin Care Toronto
LaSpa natural sunscreen SPF 20. SPF 30. SPF 50.
Sun protection is one of the most important things we can do to prevent premature aging, pigmentation or worse, skin cancer.
Using a sunscreen that is labelled Broad Spectrum is critical to protecting your skin from BOTH forms of UV light (UVB and UVA) that can harm your skin, and that can lead to skin cancer.
But unfortunately not all sunscreens created equal. Be aware of the dangers of chemical sunscreen ingredients.
Common ingredients of concern include: Oxybenzone, Homosalate, and Octinoxate. They have been associated with developing mental and reproductive toxicity, allergies and immune-toxicity, all of which is of greater concern because it also enhances skin absorption.
Chemical Sunscreens often contain ingredients that are not only harmful to humans, but not surprisingly to aquatic life and coral reefs. Many countries around the world and some cities have already banned sunscreens containing a list of common chemical sun filters in order to prevent further damage to precious reefs and marine life.
Choose your sunscreen carefully, select mineral sunscreens vs. chemical to protect yourself and your family .
As for us, we chose La Spa mineral product, that delivers everything that you looking for in sun protection and skin care the natural way!
Guinot Lift Summum Facial in North York,Toronto
Guinot's Lift Summum Facial in North York,Toronto
Launching February 2019
Guinot is launching a new lifting treatment designed to firm and smooth the delicate skin of the face, neck, and chest (often the first areas to show signs of aging) – offering instant and long-term results.
The Lift Summum is fast-acting and removes dead skin cells, redefines the face contour, and restores radiance in just 50 minutes.
In four steps, the treatment exfoliates and removes dead cells, massages the skin to improve skin elasticity, fills and erases wrinkles, and finishing firming mask, to smooth and lift facial features.
STEP ONE – cleansing and double exfoliation
In the first phase of this treatment, papaya extract breaks dead cells away from the skin to facilitate exfoliation. Microparticles of cellulose remove dead skin cells mechanically through friction. Fruit acids accelerate shedding and boost cell renewal.
STEP TWO – massage of the face , neck and décolleté
The second phase includes a massage with mahogany bark extract to improve skin elasticity to help counteract slackening, while alaria esculenta seaweed extract helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
The massage techniques used for each area (face, neck and décolleté) stimulate the subcutaneous tissue to immediately firm and lift the skin, while the active ingredient-enriched serum helps recreate skin elasticity.
STEP THREE – filler/eraser
The Anti-Wrinkle Eraser helps even out the skin's texture, thanks to its two-fold mechanical and biological action. Wrinkles appear diminished; the eye contour, forehead, smile lines and décolleté look smoother.
The third phase embeds hyaluronic acid spherical fillers into wrinkle grooves. The fillers then rehydrate and inflate to fill the wrinkles.
STEP FOUR – firming mask
The fourth and final phase utilizes dynalift and a biotechnological complex to smooth facial features and combat skin slackening by forming a mask that lifts.
The sheet Mask for the Face and cream Mask for the Décolleté firm both the skin and facial features, restoring comfort, radiance and a more youthful appearance.
After a 50-minutes Treatment: :
- The skin on the face and décolleté is visibly firmer, plumper and lifted.
- Fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed away.
- The face is visibly younger-looking.

Guinot Derma liss Face Cream
Guinot's Derma Liss Face Cream
May 05, 2016
Launching in Toronto May 2016
Derma Liss achieves a more youthful appearance by concealing wrinkles and minimizing the appearance of pores. While most anti-aging products only conceal wrinkles, Derma Liss treats these signs of
anti-aging by smoothing the skin's surface using physical and optical fillers that seal gaps left by wrinkles and deflect light from them. The pointed tip, allowing precise application, was created specifically to allow women to zero in on problem pores and around the eyes. Test results have shown smoother and flawless looking skin after one application, and significant wrinkle-depth reduction after one month of use.
Key Ingredients:
- Hyaluronic Acid Spherical Fillers – A moisturizing complex that absorbs water, inflating and plumping out wrinkles.
- Pore Perfector – A purifying active ingredient that minimizes enlarged pores by helping fight bacterial growth and inflammatory responses.

You can use Micellar water as an all-over toner. Micellar water actually draws out all the oil and dirt that can be found on the surface of your skin and rinses your pores.

2. Gently Remove Your Makeup
Micellar water is an ideal makeup remover as it gently cleanses and removes makeup from the eyes and face in one step. It's lightweight and refreshing and the tiny micelles really help to target residue left on your skin. Also, doesn't contain alcohol and never stings, meaning you can use it safely around your eyes. Its amazing!!!
3. Cleanse Your Face With Micellar Water (No Rinsing Required!)
You can use Micellar water as a light face wash. Its consistency is just that—lightweight, easy to apply, refreshing and doesn't leave your skin feeling oily like some of those oil-based face washes and makeup removers. Best of all, it's so nourishing and hydrating that you don't even have to rinse!
4. Hydrate and Refresh Your Skin on the Go
Since there is no rinsing required, this product is the perfect product on the go. You can toss a small bottle in your gym bag for a post-gym quick cleanup.

5. Exchange Your Hand Sanitizer With This Non-Drying Alternative

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
The symptoms are similar, but the causes are distinct
Dehydreted Skin:
Is simply lacking water, a specific concern that can affect any skin type(oily, dry, or combination).Dehydrated skin can also be dry, sensitive and even oily.
Symptoms of dehydrated skin:
Occasional pulling, tingling.
Loss of suppleness, sensation of discomfort
Fine lines due to dehydration can also appear more prominent.
As a general rule, skin tends to be more dehydrated in the winter due to climatic conditions and seasonal aggressors like wind, cold, pollution, heating….
Dry Skin:
Unlike dehydrated skin, dry skin can not change its characteristics. Dry skin does not lack water but rather lipids(oil), as a protective film. This is the skin that does not produce enough sebum to maintain its barrier function. Often mistaken for dehydrated skin, people with dry skin using wrong skin care products.
Symptoms of dry skin:
Continuous pulling and skin that is rough to the touch.
There is visible dryness (peeling) and the face tends to show more signs of ageing.
Moisturizing and nourishing are essential: do not forget that what is good for the face is also good for the body!

Chemical exfoliation vs Physical
Types of Exfoliators – Chemical vs Physical
Exfoliation is important step in skin care to maintain clear healthy skin. The regular removal of the superficial skin cells helps encourage skin rejuvenation, fade dark spots and discoloration, remove flaky patches, and keep pores clear. Exfoliated skin also helps your skincare products work better–your serums and moisturizers are able to penetrate the skin more effectively.
There are two types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. Although both are very effective and can achieve similar results, they work using very different mechanisms. It is important to understand not only the difference between them, but also which method should be used based on individual skin concerns and the results you are looking to achieve.
Physical exfoliation is done with an ingredients that mechanically removes cellular debris. This can be done with natural ingredients such as finely ground nuts or seeds, a wash cloth, or a cleansing brush.
Chemical exfoliation is accomplished with the use of acids, enzymes and retinoids. Different acids can be used for different skin types. Enzymatic exfoliants are the most gentle form of chemical peel, but all of them sweeping away dead sells debris, revealing smoother, brighter skin. Only chemical exfoliants work by breaking down the bond that holds dead cells together.
There are different types of acids out there, the most common being Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA). AHAs, like lactic and glycolic are derived from natural substances and are great for normal and dry skin.
BHAs, like salicylic acid are oil soluble, making them perfect for oily, acne-prone skin.
Fruit enzymes like papain and bromelain, which come from papaya and pineapple, are also great exfoliants. Enzymatic peels are the gentlest form of chemical exfoliants, making them suitable for even sensitive skin.
No matter what your skin type, the right exfoliant is out there for you. By choosing the right exfoliant your skin will improve and will be not irritated.
Guinot and Skeyndor offer a number of exfoliants to suit all skin types. Unlike some harsh scrubs, Guinot silky and creamy exfoliator is enriched with essential fatty acids that instantly comfort and protect the skin, and if you are not sure which exfoliator is best for you, it's always a good idea to consult your skincare professional to select the right product for your skin type.

Anti-aging devices, and how they work
1. Galvanic Technology
Galvanic technology works by using positive and negative currents. Positive electrons attract dirt and impurities from the deep layers to the skin's surface. The negative electrons ensure the absorption of nutrients deep into the skin's layers. The benefits include smoother and clearer skin, as well as reduced wrinkles and skin tightening due to muscle contraction.
2. Microcurrent Facials
Microcurrent anti-aging devices use low levels of electrical current to speed up cell repair, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and increase blood circulation. Microcurrent also tones facial muscles which helps tighten skin. Microcurrent facial treatments are painless and barely noticeable. Microcurrent treatments should be avoided by pregnant women, those suffering from epilepsy, those wearing a pacemaker, or those with recent scars.
3. Ultrasound
Ultrasound delivers heat energy to a particular location deep in the dermal layer, causing a small injury. The body responds to this injury by creating more collagen, which in turn helps lift and tighten the skin. This technique is FDA-approved and doesn't have any known contraindications.
4. Infrared Light & Phototherapy
How infrared light affects the skin.
These devices work by directing artificial light to the skin where it reaches the deeper layers, stimulating cell regeneration, reducing inflammation, and boosting collagen and elastin production. Different light colours are used to treat different skin problems.
The most common colours used in light therapy are red and infrared LED light as well as orange, green, yellow and blue. Blue LED light is often recommended to treat acne issues.
Bottom Line
In my opinion as we get older, using only skin-care products are not enough to make a big difference with wrinkles and sagging skin, so we need the help of other anti-aging tools. Anti-wrinkle devices are not quick fixes, but with perseverance your skin's appearance will improve greatly.
Anti aging skin devices are a great addition to your regular facials and with continued use your skin will look amazing even in your golden years.
What are those
Hyaluronic acid = Wrinkle Reduction
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) in the human body. It's present in large amounts in the spaces between skin cells, where it provides moisture, plumpness, firmness and suppleness to the skin.
It is powerful humectant ( moisture-binding ingredient) that keeps skin plump and hydrated and, yes, young-looking. As we age, the body's capacity to produce Hyaluronic Acid decreases. This results in thinner, dryer and wrinkled skin. By infusing Hyaluronic acid, the skin is able to regain lost moisture and volume, thereby reducing wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is one ingredient that works across the board. Every skin type, even oily, can benefit.
Peptides = Skin Repair
Peptides are chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins in the skin. When peptides form a long chain of amino acids, they become proteins. When they are in a short chain of amino acids, they are able to penetrate the top layer of our skin and send signals to our cells to let them know how to function.
One important protein in our skin is collagen. Collagen gives our skin its thickness and suppleness. When collagen breaks down in the skin (from age and environmental factors like the sun and stress), wrinkles form. Peptides applied topically to the skin can send a signal to collagen to prompt the formation of new collagen, and voila, you have the appearance of more youthful, supple skin.
When its combined with Hyaluronic Acid, a synergetic effect of dermal repair is created.
Retinol = Collagen Renewal
Research clearly shows that retinol, the technical name for vitamin A, has truly astounding anti-aging benefits for skin. To make sure you're getting the best of what this multitasking ingredient—and the 40 years of established research behind it—has to offer, here's what you need to know.
A derivative of vitamin A, Retinol has been clinically proven to increase collagen and skin cell production. It is known as one of the best anti-wrinkle solutions.
Well known for its anti-ageing properties, retinol is able to tackle several different skin concerns at once including sun damage, fine lines, pores, acne and overall texture.

Winter Skin Care from Guinot Paris
What are the top 5 winter skin care tips?
1.Exfoliation of the face and body are extremely important during this time of year. Dehydration due to the environment, use of hot water, and heat in the workplace or at home increase loss of moisture, which increases the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and blotchiness. For even better results, apply a mask after exfoliation to increase radiance, improve the texture of the skin, and increase moisture retention.
Guinot proposals: Perfect Radiance Exfoliating Cream for the face and Easy Body Scrub for exfoliation and Moisture Supplying Radiance Mask.
2.Apply a heavier protective cream to diminish wind burn and increase moisture retention.
Guinot proposal: Rich Anti-Wrinkle 888 Cream.
3.Gently exfoliate the lips and eye area and afterwards immediately apply a moisturizing mask to reduce moisture evaporation, flakiness, and to improve the appearance of the skin. Makeup will go on much smoother.
Guinot proposals : Biological Peeling Radiance Gel and Instant Eye Mask.
4.Protect the fragile skin on your neck with a nourishing, protective cream specifically made for that area. Many of us don't realize how much our neck area is affected during this time of year (scarves, turtle necks, and cold air). Dehydration increases leading us to be more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
Guinot proposal: Firming Vital Neck Care.
5.Exfoliate and use a mask on your hands.
Guinot proposals : Easy Body Scrub and Longue Vie Hand Care in a thick layer (leave for 15 minutes and then massage until complete absorption).
How often should you get facials during the winter?
Treatments should be done once or twice a month depending on the skin type or skin condition. Guinot proposal: Hydradermie, the star treatment for deep hydration.
What else should we remember to do to take care of our skin during the winter season?
Many people forget to use sunscreen during the winter, but eighty percent of the sun rays reflect from the snow versus twenty percent during the summer from the sand.

Guinot Hydra Beaute Mist
Guinot New Hydra Beaute Mist
The concept of facial mist isn't new, but the technology has advanced to the level, where it's more, then just water in the product.
Some of the products contain serum, multi-vitamins, antioxidants and essential oils.The moisturizing qualities of mists help improve dry, oily, irritated, flaky skin. Some products even have anti-aging ingredients, to reduce appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Mists are also an easy way to add radiance to your skin.
When choosing a facial mist that is right for you, look for ingredients that will serve a purpose. For example, a mist with Hyaluronic acid, can hold 1,000 times its weight in water, so once its apply on the skin, you get an instant long lasting hydration.
Some mists offer more of a spa like effect, with only purified water and lovely smell, and may not be as effective, as one that has active ingredients.
Not all mists will have the same ingredients and will feel the same on the skin. Some can even make your skin feel dry, because they contain only water, and are designed only to refresh and freshen up the make-up.
The ones that have essential oils, vitamins, serum, minerals and plants extracts, may help with anti-aging and overall improvement of skin quality. They also, can be used to set the makeup, but they will hydrate the skin.
If you haven't tried Guinot facial mist yet, try it. I guarantee, you will like it. The product is very easy to apply and there are so many options when to and how to use the mist. Guinot Hydra Beaute mist is a great and welcome addition to Guinot Skin Care, to help with: calming, hydrating, cooling, replenishing and adding radiance to the skin.
Keep a facial mist at home, in your handbag, at the office, gym bag, at the cottage, on the beach and remember to take it with you on the plane. Facial mist is like drinking water, if you feel thirsty, then you are dehydrated, and same goes for tight, dry skin.
Keep up the hydration for supple, hydrated skin, one of the best ways to fight the sighs of aging.

Why Guinot sunscreens are better
Science in skincare is so unpredictable that I am always trying to understand myself first before I deliver any information to you.
The French line Guinot is known for being innovative in the skincare industry and always pioneering very interesting products.
One of this products is Guinot sunscreen that contains DNA . After doing some research, I discovered, that when DNA added to the sunscreen, is actually very beneficial.
In a nutshell (because it gets rather technical and complex), the ultraviolet light from the sun causes damage to the skin cells by actually changing the structure of the DNA in them.
Introducing small bits of DNA (thymidine dinucleotide) can boost the cell's repair pathways so they remove more of the damaged bits of DNA after UV exposure.
The DNA is essentially major protection from the sun and Guinot', patented Nucleic Defense complex (DNA, heliotropine, filtres and UVA-UVB screens) is basically does not exist in the others regular sunscreen protection. The complex combines UVA and UVB filters with actual DNA molecules so it reflects as much as it repairs and protects. When applied, its absorbed pretty fast and has very fresh pleasant smell.
Guinot Sunscreen also contains Horse chestnut which help soothe the skin as well as Vitamin E to neutralize free radicals.
So next time when you ready to spend a day out doors or spend weekend at the cottage, give it try to Guinot sunscreen and tan safely.

Benefits of Regular Pedicures
Everyone knows how good it feels to get a pedicure or manicure.
But there are also physical benefits to getting a pedicure on a regular basis. While your therapist is working on your feet, she is doing more than just painting your toes. By removing the dead skin and calluses with either pumice, or other implements, your pedicurist is helping you to feel better, improve the appearance and also check for any skin and toenails problems.
When you have calluses or corns on your feet or ingrown toenail ,hammer toe, they cause uneven pressure when you walk or stand. By the end of the day, your whole body could be in pain. Trained esthetician will recognized the issues right the way and will suggest for you right treatment or referral to a foot doctor.
Your esthetician may also offer a reflexology with your pedicure. This is a point pressure massage of the soles on your feet, that stimulates blood flow and opens the energy channels to every organ of your body. 99% of our clients are in deep sleep during this relaxing treatment.
At the end of a treatment you not only have your toes pretty but you also have a smile on your face, while we know ,you got better health!

Plan Ahead for Summer Skin Care
Summertime and the living is easy—or at least, it's supposed to be. Humidity and sun can make things a little more complicated, especially for your skin. You sweat every time you step outside, your makeup is melting into your face, and harsh UV rays leave your skin feeling cracked and dry. Don't let the heat take you by surprise! Planning ahead and having your summer skincare regimen all figured out will keep you living easy after all. There are a few tips you should definitely incorporate into your strategy.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. Don't let yourself become another victim when you could take just a few minutes to prevent it. Sunscreen also helps you in the short term, of course—red, peeling skin isn't fun for anyone. To avoid clogging your pores and causing breakouts, opt for lightweight, oil free brands with refreshing ingredients like green tea and raspberry seed extract.
Nourish your body. Eat foods that will have you glowing from the inside out. Many fruits and vegetables are great for your skin, and as an added bonus, most of them will be fresh from the harvest during summer, making them nutritional powerhouses. Antioxidant-rich foods have the best benefits for skin. Here are some that the Mayo Clinic recommends:
- Yellow and orange vegetables like carrots and peppers
- Tomatoes
- Green leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach
- Blueberries
- Lentils
- Nuts
- Fatty fish
Avoid sugar, alcohol in excess, and refined carbohydrates, which are bad for skin and might sabotage your hard work.
Hydrate your skin. Keeping skin hydrated is a fundamental aspect of summer skincare. One of the best ways to do this is by using hyaluronic acid serum, which locks in moisture and keeps skin looking youthful while healing the damaging effects of the sun. Also make sure your body is getting enough water: eight 8-ounce glasses a day is typically recommended. Your skin will be the least of your worries if you pass out from dehydration! Also treat yourself to some water-rich foods (watermelon anyone?).
Exfoliate. Slough off unsightly dead skin cells with exfoliating scrubs or brushes to keep your skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. This will also help to gently draw out the oil and makeup that may get trapped in your pores over the course of the day.
Now you're ready to enjoy those picnics and beach outings worry-free. Take care of your skin and your skin will take care of your confidence.
Spring Skin Care Tips
Important Spring Skin Care Tips
With Spring here, it's a great time to focus on your skin and prepare it for the change of season.
Skin Tip #1:
Assess all your skin care products
Many of us have things that we don't even know how or when to use, let alone when or why we bought it! Pull everything out of the cabinet and assess every product.
-if the product is no longer working for you. No sense in hanging on to something that isn't a fit for your skin.
-if the product is older than two years. The preservative system in most skin care products has a shelf life of two years.
-Same applies for make up.
Skin Tip #2:
Make daily use of sunscreen SPF 15- 30 a top priority, and apply it generously!
When it comes to sunscreen, in order for the SPF to truly protect the skin and prevent the harmful UV rays from damaging the skin, the formula has to be applied generously or it will not provide adequate protection.
Skin Tip #3:
Spring clean your pores with a professional facial.
Without a doubt, the most effective way to clear out blackheads and clogged pores from the skin is to have them manually removed with a professional facial.
Skin Tip #4:
Exfoliate to prevent blemishes and make your skin breathe again. The change of season from winter to spring can bring on increased breakouts for some. Why? Since the air is dry in the winter, the skin may have some residual dead skin cell build-up. Then when the temperatures start to warm up, it can bring increased oil flow, which can get trapped underneath cellular build-up resulting in clogged pores and possible breakouts. The solution? Increase your exfoliation.
Happy Spring everyone!

The knowledge of the laws of solutions has been said, to be important because almost all the chemical processes which occur in nature, whether in animal or vegetable organisms, or in the non-living surface of the earth, and also those which are carried out in the laboratory, take place between substances in solution. For example, a sound judgment regarding physiological processes is impossible without this knowledge; and this holds true for the greater number of the scientifically and technically important reactions. Solutions are more important than gases, for the latter seldom react together at ordinary temperatures, whereas solutions present the best conditions for the occurrence of all chemical processes (Homer, 1980).
A dilute solution has a low concentration of the solute compared to the solvent. The opposite of a dilute solution is a concentrated solution, which has high levels of solute in the mixture.
Dilute solutions containing non-volatile solute exhibit the following properties:
(1) Lowering of the Vapour Pressure
(2) Elevation of the Boiling Point
(3) Depression of the Freezing Point
(4) Osmotic Pressure
The essential feature of these properties is that they depend only on the number of solute particles present in solution. Being closely related to each other through a common explanation, these have been grouped together under the class name Colligative Properties (Greek colligatus = Collected together) (Bahl, et al., 2012).
Physical properties can be divided into two categories. Extensive properties (such as mass and volume) depend on the size of the sample. Intensive properties (such as density and concentration) are characteristic properties of the substance; they do not depend on the size of the sample being studied. This section introduces a third category that is a subset of the intensive properties of a system. This third category, known as colligative properties, can only be applied to solutions. By definition, one of the properties of a solution is a colligative property if it depends only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution, not the identity of the solute.
A colligative property may be defined as one which depends on the number of particles in solution and not in any way on the size or chemical nature of the particles. In other words, colligative properties are a set of solution properties that can be reasonably approximated by assuming that the solution is ideal.
Here we consider only properties which result from the dissolution of nonvolatile solute in a volatile liquid solvent. They are essentially solvent properties which are changed by the presence of the solute. The solute particles displace some solvent molecules in the liquid phase and therefore reduce the concentration of solvent, so that the colligative properties are independent of the nature of the solute.
For a given solute-solvent mass ratio, all colligative properties are inversely proportional to solute molar mass.
Measurement of colligative properties for a dilute solution of a non-ionized solute such as urea or glucose in water or another solvent can lead to determinations of relative molar masses, both for small molecules and for polymers which cannot be studied by other means. Alternatively, measurements for ionized solutes can lead to an estimation of the percentage of dissociation taking place.
Colligative properties are mostly studied for dilute solutions, whose behavior may often be approximated as that of an ideal solution.

Ask your loan at the bank
Have you ever thought of asking for a loan at the bank? Well, then get ready for war: not only to get the necessary liquidity, but also to avoid being cheated. It is possible to apply to a bank to request the transfer of the fifth or a personal loan, in any case, read all the contractual documents well and find out about the regulations in force. There are multiple cases of irregularities in financial products and Antelcash has sent complaints to the Bank of Italy, AGCM, Andess and the Guarantor of Privacy.
But what are the "flaws" reported by Antelcash? A survey conducted on a sample of 280 branches of banks, finance companies and post offices in 9 Italian cities showed that not only getting a loan is difficult, but it is also easy to be duped, for example with regard to privacy data or insurance on credit. Comparing the best Peter Matthew online is the most effective solution to access the most convenient financing and at the same time to find out about the contractual conditions.
Antelcash has released a list of bank "flaws" and in the first place there is the failed delivery to the customer of the so-called Secci module. This document serves to contain all the most important information on the loan and consumers should compare it with that of other financial companies to choose the most convenient product. Obviously the banks have no interest in this happening and therefore they often "forget" to hand it over.
In second place among the most widespread "flaws" there is the request for unnecessary personal information such as income data in the pre-contractual phase. The bank asks for this data to investigate our creditworthiness, but in this way it discourages the customer from turning more branches and often leads to a loan that is not paid. Antelcash has shown that, even with a fixed salary of 1,500 euros, getting a loan is not a walk.
Finally, Antelcash's great warning is: attention to loan insurance policies. First of all, these insurances are not compulsory and secondly it is not obligatory to stipulate them at the same bank to which the loan was requested. Even the norm requires that the credit institution present to the client two other insurance quotes to make a comparison. Do you think this happens? On the contrary, in most cases, without a policy, the loan is not obtained.
So always open eyes with the banks and the Peter Matthew, the best way to protect yourself is to compare offers online and learn about the regulations in force.

Austrian brand Racer now makes a range of motorcycle clothing but their most noteworthy products are the Racer gloves which made their name in the first place. Their top of the range men's motorcycle gloves, such as the Sicuro, use the highest quality materials and latest technology, but unlike many brands, they use them intelligently to get the maximum benefit. For example, titanium is used on the knuckles since it has a low friction coefficient and therefore slides when in contact with tarmac, reducing the likelihood of twisting injuries. Kangaroo hide is used on the palms for maximum feel and abrasion resistance.
Racer gloves don't just make "racer's gloves" though. There is a similarly technical range of touring and waterproof gloves, including Gore-Tex models.
Racer makes both ladies Racer gloves and men's motorcycle gloves, with specifically different fits and models, as well as textile and leather jackets and jeans. Recently they have also branched out into motorcycle boots, with an excellent waterproof touring boot.
Infinity motorcycles was one of the first in the UK to carry Racer Gloves, and over the past few years or so we've seen a lot of our customers who have got to know and trust their Racer Gloves go on to buy other garments from the Racer clothing range, which in itself is a great advert for the quality of Racer clothing.
So confident are Racer of their products that they now feature a three-year guarantee. An almost unheard of promise at the mid-range price point their range occupies.
We keep a huge selection of Racer gloves, both ladies and men's, and other great brands online and in-store at all Infinity branches.

Here's a Daily Affirmation!
Much love to all who read this,
Stevie T.
A Blog in Support of https://www.facebook.com/StevieTStallsmith
Hey you gorgeous souls!
Here's a Daily Affirmation!
Much love to all who read this,
Stevie T.
I am Now proud to announce my very own show, shared with my Kindred Spirit and fellow student of mine, Carlos A. Rodriquez, called "WEareONE Reading Hour with Carlos and Stevie T." We are on Three times a week, 7PM EST/4PM PST Every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday (www.Blogtalkradio.com/WeAreOneReadings)
Carlos is a Reiki Master/Teacher, Energy masseuse and Energy Dynamics Reader who also reads Tarot and Oracle cards and does much more.
(Check him out over at his personal website, www.WordsofMany.co )
I also still Guest Co-Host time to time on a radio show called "Cosmic Conference with Starlene Breiter" (CosmicConference.com), where we delve and speak about Astrology, some Astronomy, Give readings, discuss Gemology, Reiki, Metaphysics and more!
If not now, when?
I woke up this morning in a wash of grace and gratitude. Sleep last night was as if I was placed in my bed, and then awoke like they may have been in the same moment.
Full of gratitude and noticing everyone around me, I asked the Angels, guides and my loved ones on the other side of the veil, after thanking them for everything they help me and my loved ones with- What is it that you want me to share with everyone that has a connection to me? It was unanimous and loud, yet self-soothing.
"Remind them that they are already where they want to be. And remind them that they are beautiful beyond human language and to step into their power with love."
-and so you have it! That's what they all want us to accept and know right now. They always have such a magnitude of love it's almost unreal. Except, that I can assure you (as well as many of you can assure me) it is very, very real. So, let's meet the universe half-way today and everyday so that it knows we are ready to take proactive action about what we are passionate about and for.
If not now, when?

Parallel Lines
There's a song by Joss Stone, Titled: "Parallel Lines" in which she soulfully sings
"...We go by our parallel lines
Livin' out our separate lives
If only we'd cross the space in between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be
Just imagine if those lines would come together
For a moment in a world where there's no strangers
Make a little effort together
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines..."
I love what she's saying in this song and I think it resonates a lot with a lot of people and human experience as a whole.
If reality is arguably a mirror of our inner worlds, then the externals are just that which is reflected from within.
A lot of my clients want a simple answer to a seemingly unrelated question when I am prompted to respond, "Look within!" Because it truly does end and begin and begin anew again, inside-out.
If we knew at all times who walks beside us, we would fear, No Thing.
-Stevie T.,RMT
Hi, Stevie T. here, just adding some thoughts and photos with commentary for people of like mind and this website to enjoy :) Namaste!

There's no clear evidence that untreated scoliosis, or scoliosis treated with bracing or spinal fusion, will increase the risk of back pain or arthritis in the long term.
The younger a child, or the more she or he has to grow, the greater the risk of scoliosis progressing. After puberty, curves less than 50 degrees are not likely to get worse. For this reason, the ultimate goal of scoliosis management is to keep curves under 50 degrees until your child has matured.
Children with curves less than 50 degrees typically grow up into adults with no significant problems related to scoliosis.
Scoliosis treatment is based on the degree of curvature of the spine, viewed from the front or back by X-ray. The following are general guidelines for treatment.
This is not scoliosis. Scoliosis is defined as spinal curvature greater than 10 degrees. Curvature under 10 degrees is considered a normal variation, just as there is a normal range for weight and height.
In this range, scoliosis is observed for progression. The measurement error in reading X-rays is up to four degrees. This means that a difference of four degrees between office visits may not be real, but rather is a reflection of the inherent inaccuracies of measuring X-rays. Partly because of this, significant progression is defined as an increase in curvature of at least five degrees. The typical rate of progression is one degree per month, so it would take at least five months to see significant progression. As a result, the child is seen every six months for follow-up, which includes both physical and X-ray examinations.
In this range, bracing is the standard of care in the United States. The scoliosis brace is known as a TLSO, which stands for thoraco-lumbar spinal orthotic. The idea behind bracing is to stop or slow progression of the curve so that it stays under 50 degrees. An X-ray of a brace shows that the brace can straighten the spine, but the spine will return to its original curvature when the brace is removed. The two principal types used are the Milwaukee brace, developed by Dr. Walter Blount of Milwaukee, and the Boston brace, developed by Dr. John Hall of Boston.
The brace is worn more than 20 hours per day. Time is allowed out of the brace for hygiene and for sports. Part-time bracing doesn't work as well and may not work at all. The child is weaned into the custom-made brace gradually over a two-week period. This allows the child to adjust and prevents significant skin irritation from the brace. After two weeks of full-time wear, or approximately four weeks after initial fitting of the brace, the child is seen in the office for X-rays in the brace.
Successful bracing reduces the curve by half or better as determined by X-rays. At later visits, X-rays are taken out of the brace, which is removed the night before to allow full relaxation of the spine and a more realistic measure of the degree of curvature. Brace treatment successfully stops curve progression in about 80 percent of children.
Beyond 50 degrees, the spine loses its ability to compensate and progression becomes inevitable even after the child is mature. The only way to stop progression at this stage is a surgery called spinal fusion. Think of the vertebrae as beads on a string. The spine bends between the vertebrae as a string bends between the beads, causing the beads to move. The way to stop the beads from moving is to stick them together. Spinal fusion surgery joins the vertebrae.

The Park Theatre is very proud to bring Mad Caddies to Winnipeg on June 20th. We're really exciting to have these veteran Fat Wreck Chords recording artists on our stage.
We just added this second show as the first is sold-out!
Mad Caddies with The Reverend Rambler June 20th
Tickets $22 advance
Doors 6:00 Show 6:30
Tickets on sale March 6th at 11:00am
Since their inception, during high school in California nearly two decades ago, the Mad Caddies have toured the world countless times delighting fans with their unique blend of reggae, punk, ska and pop, and with their newest album Dirty Rice the Mad Caddies have proven they're just as impassioned and energetic as ever. In many ways the band's first full-length in seven years sees them coming full circle, demonstrating while trends and times have changed, the Mad Caddies' commitment to creating dynamic music has only grown stronger.
Yet the Mad Caddies are a difficult band to pin down. We're not sure what's more impressive, the fact that Mad Caddies have sold over 400,000 albums or they've managed to combine a wide range of influences – – dixieland, reggae, punk, ska – – into a collection of songs which are incredibly diverse yet still make for a cohesive listen from start to finish. "We love the fact that we're able to expand our sound with every album," Lazor explains, citing the fact that the band goes over just as well at family-friendly festivals as they do late-night rock shows alongside their punk peers. "I don't know many bands who are able to have such a wide range of songs and styles at their disposal."
