Debbie Howells' top tips for debut authors
The Bones Of You is a stunning psychological thriller set in an idyllic English village. Here, Debbie offers budding novelists her advice on writing and how to get started.Share this on Facebook
1. Just write
Getting started can be daunting. It may sound obvious, but just write, turning your idea into words on paper, or a screen. Whatever works for you. Doesn't have to be perfect, but it's the first step.
2. Don't tell anyone
Telling people at this stage generally kills it, as I've discovered to my cost. Let the idea build inside your head: explore it, nurture it. Resist the temptation to talk about it! That time will come.
3. Keep notebooks around
Keep them everywhere, at all times, especially by your bed. Again, as I've discovered to my own cost - the best, most incredibly exciting ideas come to you as you're drifting off to sleep. And no matter how many times you tell yourself otherwise, by the time you wake up, they'll have gone. Fact.
4. Editing can wait
It's not always easy, but it's best to just let the words flow in the early stages. Try not to get hung up on perfecting each chapter as you go along. Just write, until you have a first draft.
5. Put it away for a while
When you've finished, however tempting it is to send it straight out to that list of agents you've carefully selected, stop. What you need now is perspective. Put it away - ideally for a few weeks, long enough for you to distance yourself. It's really hard to be objective about the story you know inside out - much easier when you haven't looked at it for a while.
6. Research agents
It's all there online, clear as day. Agents' wishlists, as well as what they're not looking for. They are busy people, don't waste their - and your - time by sending something they won't be interested in.
7. Never chase agents
Once you've sent your manuscript out and you're checking your emails every five minutes, just start writing something else. Otherwise it all gets rather crazy. Never chase agents. Distract yourself and wait it out.
8. Accept all feedback
Rejection, unless you're lucky, is all part of it. And it's tough. But don't give up. Take any feedback you're lucky enough to get, and even if you don't, keep writing. Most likely it won't be your first book that gets published, but with everything you write, you learn.
9. Self-publish.
A lot of authors wouldn't have it any other way. I self-published the first three books I wrote - all women's commercial fiction. Not only do you sell books and hopefully make money, but it teaches you about the publishing process, and if you like to feel in control of how your book is marketed, the cover design etc, it may be the way to go.
10. Read about other authors
For most aspiring writers, a traditional publishing deal can seem perpetually elusive, out of reach. A dream - the kind that happens to other people. For a long time I thought that, but I held on to the tiniest shred of hope, even though it wavered from time to time. I knew it had happened to other writers. I'd read their inspiring about the road to publication and the seed of an idea was sown: maybe, if I kept writing, if I wrote the right book and I was lucky, there was a chance - a slim one, but still a chance - that it could happen to me too. And it did.

Getting up in a board room or on a stage and exposing yourself to the judgmental eyes of an entire group of people is damn scary. So when you get a chance to do it via video conference, you might feel a little more confident. However, video conferencing is no cakewalk. Damian Lepore, Managing Director at Logitech ANZ, has given a fair few presentations in his time and he knows that to be true.
He shared his tips with Lifehacker on how to best master the art of video conferencing.

It's been a good week for many of our sides while the Hull Pirates brought their season to a close. There was also a major shock this weekend that no one saw coming. Here is this weeks roundup.
It's fair to say its been a great weekend for our football sides. The shock of the weekend involved North Ferriby United. The Villagers were 16/1 underdogs travelling to title challengers Forest Green Rovers. Ferriby defied the odds with a brilliant display and a goal from Reece Thompson.
Hull City also claimed a massive result as they came from behind to beat West Ham at the KCOM Stadium. Goals from Andy Robertson and Andrea Ranocchia gave Marco Silva's side a precious 3 points. Swansea, Sunderland and Middlesbrough all dropped points this weekend so City will look to capitalise on that when they welcome Middlesbrough to the KCOM Stadium on Wednesday.
Hall Road had another good result this weekend as they won 3-1 away at Dronfield but Hull City Ladies lost again this time 5-3 at home to Chester-le-street Ladies.
Rugby League
Hull FC had a frustrating weekend. They raced into a 20-8 lead over the winless Warrinton Wolves. Albert Kelly was again instrumental as he scored the first try but Hull ran out of steam again in the second half and ended up clinging on to draw 22-22.
Hull KR were comfortable winners once again this week. They hammered the Batley Bulldogs 50-16 at Craven Park. Rovers are coasting their way towards the Middle 8's with little issue as they look for an immediate return to Super League.
Our amateur teams also enjoyed a good weekend. The only Hull based side to lose were Myton but that was to another Hull side Skirlaugh. West Hull were 22-11 winners at home to Wigan St Patricks while Hull Dockers won a tight game at home to York Acorn 22-20.
Rugby Union
The run of good results this weekend extended to our Rugby Union side. Hull Ionians were 31-26 winners at home to Cambridge and Hullensians won comfortably 35-25 against Acklam. The Result of the weekend came from Hull RUFC who were 48-14 winners at home to Sandal RUFC.
Ice Hockey
Unfortunately the disappointing playoff series continued for the Hull Pirates this weekend as they rounded off their season with 2 more defeats. They took the Swindon Wildcats to overtime on Saturday night only to lose 6-5. They finished their season with a 6-2 home defeat to Milton Keynes Lightning. After a positive start to the season the campaign has ended badly and the Pirates now have to look to build for next season.

Well the New York Times has once again managed to generate negative coverage of Senator McCain. While aboard his campaign plane over the weekend, a reporter from the contemptible Times attempted to bait McCain with a question regarding his discussion with John Kerry in 2004. This now infamous chat is public knowledge and was already reported at the time it occurred and extensively at the beginning of the primary season. Whatever her question was we will never know because the maverick cut her off and was visibly irritated; justifiably so I might add. The reporter did get in a snide "Why are you so angry?" jab towards the end as well. The media of course picked up the footage and began showing it to the masses. Remember this folks: He's catching all this abuse from a newspaper that endorsed his candidacy. It is evident now there was some secret motivation for doing so.
Also being talked about this weekend is McCain's choice for vice president. He claims to be seriously considering a number of well qualified candidates and a decision might even be in the near future. The sooner the GOP can get its house in order and the ticket finalized, the better we will look compared to the anarchy running rampant in the Democrat party. Karl Rove and other distinguished republicans have just announced their choice: Mitt Romney. I was very surprised by this. Romney would certainly win over the conservative wing of the party and he is quite the public speaker but the ceremony he and McCain put on last month when Mitt gave his endorsement was quite cold. Romney looked as if he was attempting to hide the anguish of defeat inside of him and McCain appeared still bitter over a very negative campaign aimed at him. Even still, if they can repair the damage inflicted by the primary; what about Romney's needs? He has made it clear that the presidency is what he is after, nothing smaller than that. In contemporary politics, a candidate has one legitimate shot at the big seat; McCain of course being the obvious exception. If Romney loses twice (primary and general) in the same year, it does not bode well for his future elect ability.
Can't end without bringing this up: Bill Clinton was giving a stump speech for Hillary when a reporter once again brought up the "Dream Ticket" of Obama/Hillary. (I would in fact label that a nightmare but I digress...) Slick Willy actually said his wife would be a great candidate for the veep slot. Not only did he admit it, but he then went into a strategy of what states she could win where Obama had lost or is trailing.
Do you think it was a coincidence that as soon as Bubba disappeared for awhile, she started winning again?
I didn't either.

Becoming a legal resident of United States is quite a tough job because of the stringent U.S immigration rules. Moreover, the U.S governments grants specific number of visas each year and as a result, there is long lists of people who want to migrate to U.S are not qualified.
However, there are some ways, through which one can obtain the residency of U.S. Following are the ways suggested by the best immigration lawyer in Miami-
- Family- It is very easy for couples, children, parents, spouses, or any other family member to qualify for green card visa in U.S. However, there are number of rules that should be strictly followed by all those immigrant who want to obtain the U.S resident visa without any legal issue. It further falls into two categories-
- No waiting time period- This category is also known as immediate category. People who fall under this category is required to be husband or wife of an U.S citizen, parent of a U.S citizen or unmarried children of an American citizen that are below 21 years of age.
- Waiting time period- This category consists of family sponsorship visas. A person under this category needs to wait for a specific time period to get the visa. The immigrants need to be the unmarried children of the U.S citizen, siblings of an American citizen and husband/wife of a green card holder.
- Investment- Foreigners can establish a business in United States by applying through the investment visa. However, there are several conditions that the immigrant needs to fulfill, which are-
- Invest $500,000
- No loans should be taken for setting up the business
- Create at least 10 jobs for the U.S people

- People should be qualified in their field
- They should hold a degree of at least 5 years.

Polyn-Asian Space Cadet
Tokyo-based Maori musician Ben Kemp touches down in March for a national album tour, The Un-Cut Apple. The band will be playing in Canterbury for one night only at the Harbourlight Theatre, Lyttelton.
Accompanied by three Japanese musicians Koyu Suzuki, Taro and Mitsuru Ogata, the sound of Ben Kemp and Uminari fuses modern Japanese music and sweet harmonies with Kemp's lyrical Aotearoa born vibe and motifs.
Ben Kemp & Uminari formed in Tokyo in 2006 and the tour offers audiences in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch a chance to take a bite of their third album, The Un-Cut Apple live.
Of Rongowhakaata and German descent, Kemp describes his musical style as "organic, honest and somewhat space cadet-ish. I feel compelled to explore all corners of my creativity because I often find conventional means mundane. Freaky is good, as long as it is genuine".
He hooked up with flautist and Japanese club musician, Mitsuru Ogata after observing the close resemblance between Ogata's flute-style and traditional Maori flutes, koauau and nguru. Multi-instrumentalist Koyu Suziki is a graduate from Berkley College of Music in Boston and it was he who "discovered" Kemp busking on the streets of Tokyo. Taro is a graduate of Tokyo School of Music with a degree in percussion, drumming and traditional taiko techniques and he also plays the Cajon, a Cuban and Peruvian instrument,.
A recognized poet, Kemp is releasing a book of poetry in April, a book that promises to further meld the power of words from the land of the long white cloud and the Japanese way of life.
"In the tradition of the long, lost troubadours, Ben Kemp imbues his music with a narrative attention that invites the listener into his private world. Combining elements of folk and jazz with Polynesian and Asian motifs, his is a sound that at times defies description.….often eschewing constrictive verse-chorus-verse structures, his melodies ebb and flow like the endless rhymes of the tide" Frank Spignese, The Daily Yomiuri

LOWELL -- The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to take out a $1.2 million loan to pay for the architectural and engineering design of a new 900-space parking garage in the Hamilton Canal Innovation District.
The loan will be paid for by parking fees -- rather than tax dollars -- and comes on top of a $1 million appropriation last year for the same project. The city is also examining options for another parking garage in the downtown.
"Businesses are expanding in downtown Lowell and the only way they can expand is to have parking there," City Manager Kevin Murphy said.
The Hamilton Canal parking garage is a vital piece of the district, which is slowly racking up milestones toward completion. Construction of the garage had been delayed for more than a year as the city negotiated with the Lowell Regional Transit Authority and the National Park Service. A final deal may come soon.
"We don't need the land swap to design the garage or to begin construction of it," Murphy said. "Once the land swap takes place we can make the front of the garage more aesthetically apealing, but we can build it without"
On Tuesday, the council also:
* Established a Diversity Council tasked with hosting educational events celebrating the city's diversity and serving as voice for all residents. The council will be composed of two representatives, appointed by the city manager, of all ethnic groups in the city.
* Approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance allowing the storage of a single unregistered vehicle on a residential lot, provided certain conditions are met.
* Approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance making the Planning Board the special permit granting authority for and proposal requiring site plan review.
* Received a report on a new traffic crossing light installed along Andover Street in the vicinity of Douglas and Arbor roads.
* Received a report on the number of warnings and tickets issued for failure to clear snow from sidewalks. So far this winter, the city has issued 141 warnings and issued 19 tickets for a total of $1,900.
* Received an update on the Luz Monument Building at 1118 Gorham St., which will soon be razed by the new owner.
* Instituted a series of temporary, experimental traffic regulations.
* Requested that the city manager address trash dumping along the First Street corridor.
* Requested that the city manager address lighting and safety issues at the parking lot on Broadway Street adjacent to Yim's Variety.
* Requested that the city manager work with the secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs to discuss options to remove restrictions on the proposed high school site near Cawley Stadium.
* Requested that the city manager work with youth services to roll out a summer jobs program for 2017.
* Requested that the Law Department identify any potential preservation or conservation restrictions that may affect the downtown options for the new Lowell High School.
* Requested that the city manager investigate the possibility of department heads using iPads to operate more efficiently.
* Requested that the city manager update the council by ___ on all potential options available to keep the Cawley high school option on the table.
* Requested that the city manager and schools superintendent determine the potential cost of busing if school redistricting is implemented.
* Requested that the Department of Public Works repair the potholes on Park Avenue and at the end of Perry Street.
* Requested that the city manager review the impact that President Donald Trump's proposed budget cuts to the community development grants would have on the city, should they be implemented.
* Requested that the traffic engineer determine the appropriate speed limit for East Merrimack Street between Rivercliff Road and Nesmith Street.
* Requested that the Department of Planning and Development create a questionnaire for downtown businesses to identify reactions to the location of the new Lowell High School.
* Requested that the proper department provide information to residents about who is allowed to sell electricity door to door.
* Requested that the city manager update the council on the disposition of the Soucy parcel of land.
* Requested that the traffic engineer conduct a study measuring the impact of increased traffic in Belvidere, particularly Route 133 and Route 38, if the high school were moved to that neighborhood.
* Requested that the city manager prepare a report on the anticipated infrastructure and traffic improvement costs the city would incur if the high school were moved out of the downtown.
* Requested that the city manager update the council on any standing that the town of Tewksbury has regarding Article 97 and conservation issues on the land near Cawley Stadium.
* Requested that the city manager update the council on any Conservation Commission votes regarding wetlands adjacent to Cawley Stadium and endangered species that would be required should the high school be moved to that location.
* Requested a report on parking near Cawley Stadium.

I hope you
like the fall colors of the site this month. Please visit the
special Halloween humor page. Hopefully, the link on that page
will work properly, and all the graphics will show up! The
animation link might take a while to load if you don't have a
fast connection. I would have placed the animation directly on
the site, but I think Angelfire would have a cow if I tried to
do that.
Anyway, you
may have noticed that I haven't mentioned "work" in
a while. That's because there just isn't any. The bottom has
fallen out of the technical writing field. High-tech companies
are cutting back, and documentation (which is usually viewed
as "not crucial" anyway) is the first thing to go.
The money has evaporated. It used to be quite lucrative --
jeez, you could name your (high) rate if you had the skills --
but since the dot-com bust, things have changed drastically.
I've seen my hourly rate get cut more than half. After a lot
of soul-searching, I decided that it wasn't worth it. Will it
ever be as good as it was? Well, many jobs in the technical
industry are leaving and not coming back. So no, I don't think
it will ever be the way it was in the mid-to-late 90s. Maybe
that's not such a bad thing. I mean, honestly, did YOU buy
"Flooz?" You know, some venture capital company put
MILLIONS into that stupid idea. Alas, the glory days of
Silicon Valley...not to mention our stock market accounts
(yours as well as mine, I'm sure...)
So I'm taking
stock in myself and starting a little business that has
nothing to do with technology. In time I'll tell you more
about it. Let's just say that I have an interesting idea, and
I think it might work. And if it doesn't work, well at least I
gave it a shot. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. At the
moment, I'm busy doing a lot of research and trying to lay the
groundwork for everything. It really is intense. At some
point, when I come up for air, I plan to continue painting
some of the rooms inside the house. But unfortunately, there
are only 24 hours in a day, even with caffeine...
I have
nothing ground-breaking to say about my teeth, other than a
little pain I experienced last week. Out of the blue, the
upper left quadrant began aching. Since the uppers have
chains, I assume the ache was due to something moving. It only
lasted a day or two, and then disappeared. It didn't hurt bad
enough for pain reliever. It was just a dull ache. Like I've
said before, I don't mind these aches and pains, because it
means that things are happening.
By the way, I
want to apologize for the oldest Forum entries being deleted.
It's not me doing it, it's the Bravenet system. I had no idea
that I wouldn't be able to archive the posts. I wrote to
Bravenet, but they haven't given me the courtesy of a reply.
So when I move the site to a new host, I might change the
Forum host as well.
Posthumous Birthday to John Lennon.
I had an
incident happen last week that still has me cringing.
As I have
remarked lately, my front teeth are now touching -- something
they never did before. In a moment of pure hunger, I quickly
dove into a tuna sandwich on whole wheat last weekend, and SCREEECH!
My teeth scraped against each other! It was like fingernails
on a blackboard! I couldn't chew for about a minute -- I just
sat there, squinting my eyes, waiting for "that awful
feeling" to subside. Uugh!
This only
seems to happen when I forget about my braces and try to bite
into something like "old times" with my front teeth.
So far, it has happened twice. The first time was when I bit
into a cookie about a month ago. At the time, I thought it
happened because I had bitten some weird way. Now, I know that
it happened because my teeth are aligned differently than ever
before. I HOPE TO GOD that the "final" alignment
will eliminate this problem! If it never happens again, it
will be fine with me!
I've been
busy as anything with the business I'm starting, the kids, and
trying to stay on top of all the mundane but necessary
housework. I also have begun re-designing this site (off-line,
of course). If the design works out, it will be really nice.
I was
supposed to get an adjustment this week, but delayed it. I'm
going to dinner with some friends, and would like to enjoy my
food. Dr. Vogt removed the chains from my lower teeth last
time, and I expect he'll put them back on during the next
adjustment. Which undoubtedly will mean pain and discomfort
for several days. It's the first time I've postponed an
adjustment since getting my braces on.
Hey, have
you checked out the Humor page? Nobody has told me what they
think of that animation link. Which leads me to believe that
either it's not working correctly, or my sense of humor is too
bizarre for my audience. I'll admit, I like very bizarre
things. The stranger, the better. So, guys and gals out there
in cyberspace -- tell me if it's too over the top for you!
Personally, I walk around singing, "Baby-ba-ba-baby-Baby
Ruth, Baby Ruth" at various times of the day. The music
and sampling in that animation are really great. Kinda reminds
me of Devo on Beck.
that I haven't written much in the past few weeks. Things will
pick up!
adjustment, and more pain! As I guessed, Dr. Vogt put the
elastic chains back on the bottom teeth. But he also put a
heavier arch wire down there. Between everything, it's really
painful today! Even after three Ibuprofens, it still hurts!
I've been treating myself to lots of ice cream and have been
drinking my Atkins shake for breakfast, because I can't even
chew a waffle. Yogurt for lunch. Uugh, I can't wait to eat
solid food again! I know that the pain will pass in a few
days, but in the mean time, it makes me very cranky!
On a
brighter note, Dr. Vogt said that the gap in my top teeth has
closed by one third. I had originally thought that the gap
would be closed by December, but I think it is going to take a
bit longer than that. The bottom teeth will take longer,
especially since they didn't have any chains last month.
Nevertheless, he was very pleased with the progress of my
teeth in general.
I was
going to try a different color this time. I asked for the
teal. But after they put on the teal chains, I looked in the
mirror and couldn't stand it! I looked like a silly kid. The
teal was just too bright. So I changed back to light blue. I
suppose I'll just stay with the light blue from now on.
It's a
good thing that I stayed in the general area of Dr. Vogt's
office the morning of my adjustment. I had lunch at a local
hamburger joint, and afterwards, one of the wires began poking
my cheek. So, back to the 'ol chair for a clip. I had learned
my lesson about THAT a few months ago. If a wire begins poking
you, get it clipped ASAP. Otherwise, it will begin to feel
like barbed wire.
I received a very nice email from a husband and wife who got
braces together! The wife, named Chris, wrote a really
interesting story, which I am going to add as a separate page
in the next day or two. Thank you, Chris, for taking the time
to write!
I've been
busy lately cleaning up my house. If you have kids, you know
how fast clutter can accumulate. Well, I'm hosting a Brownie
meeting at my house tomorrow evening. I'm not trying to be
Martha Stewart, but I like my house to have a certain level of
cleanliness when people come over -- especially people who
have never been to my house before. So the past few days, I've
been dusting, sorting, consolidating, vacuuming, and mopping.
Such a glamorous life I lead! But it has its hidden benefits
-- my birthday is soon, and I get to enjoy a clean house. I
even got the kids to clean up their rooms (a minor miracle --
FAO Schwartz has nothing on my house....). Nothing like a
little Mommy Birthday guilt to get them motivated! Heh heh heh!
Uugh, I
think I'm coming down with something. Either that, or my
thyroid is out of whack again (I have hypothyroidism which
acts up sometimes -- particularly when I get sick with a cold
or whatever). Well, my throat is a little sore. Last night I
was sitting with my older daughter at about 8:30 p.m.,
watching a really cool documentary about planets narrated by
Patrick Stewart. I nodded off and slept like that until almost
midnight! Hubby put the kids to bed; I was out of it! I got
up, brushed my teeth and stuff, fell into bed, and slept all
night until the alarm woke me up at 7:30 a.m. 10 hours
of sleep, total!
Then this
morning, can you believe, I was STILL tired and feeling kinda
dizzy? After breakfast, I crawled back into bed for an hour.
After lunch, I got out and did some light errands. But after
picking the kids up from school, I felt really exhausted
again. I slept on the couch for 3 more hours, from 4 until
almost 7! Thankfully my kids took pity on me and left me alone
and were really quiet. Hubby had come home early from a
meeting, so he held down the fort while I dozed. I have such a
nice family! I haven't felt this tired since I had Strep two
years ago. (I had it for 3 straight months, it was awful!)
Hopefully this will pass soon and I'll get my energy back
again! I PRAY that is isn't strep!
Well, on
the tooth front, things are fine. My teeth stopped hurting
about 5 days after my adjustment, and now I can eat steak
again, or whatever I want. No pain at all. I did have one more
incident of that tooth-scraping-nails-on-a-blackboard thing a
few days ago. Really unpleasant. I hate that!
it's just my imagination, but my teeth FEEL straighter than
before my adjustment. Is that possible?
If you
check the forum, you'll see that reader Gary wrote a really
nice review of SuperFloss versus Glide Floss Threader. It got
me thinking that I'd like to add a page where you guys can
write your own reviews/opinions of orthodontic products. For
example, I had come to the same conclusion about SuperFloss as
Gary had. I'm sure we each have our own favorite products, or
perhaps are looking for products. Dental companies are always
coming out with new stuff. Personally, I think that we adults
with braces are an overlooked market.
of the Forum, there seem to be more pop-ups than ever on
Bravenet. It is so darned annoying! I promise that in my next
incarnation of this site, the forum will NOT have ads! So bear
with it for now...
I have
been so busy that I hadn't picked up my guitar in a while. For
whatever reason, I decided that I wanted to play Willie
Nelson's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." Hubby has
an MP3 of it on our computer. I looked it up online, but the
chord notation was wrong, wrong, wrong. So I had to figure it
out myself (it's in the key of E in case you were wondering).
I figured out all the chords and even the nifty little solo
(for the most part). I did all this on Rob's steel string
acoustic. My fingertips were downright shredded after 2 hours
(if you don't play guitar regularly, the calluses disappear
and you must build them up again). Uugh. But it was very
satisfying to sit down and play that song along with the MP3
track and sound almost exactly like Willy. Almost. Close
My new
thing will be to learn some Django Reinhart and those
interesting triad chords. Something I don't currently know, so
I have a new goal. There are some great resources for Django
stuff on the web. If you like that type of music, you MUST see
the film "The Sweet and Lowdown" with Sean Penn. It
is a really great film! When do I have time to do all this
stuff? I don't. But I try. A little here, a little there. It's
amazing what you can accomplish in an hour if you put your
mind to it.
I have so
much to tell you. First of all, my teeth are fine. One of my
molars was aching last week, but it stopped after a couple of
days. Obviously, something was moving. The gaps are noticeably
smaller. It's taking a lot longer to close them than I'd
expected, but it's coming along. Soon I have another
adjustment -- more pain to look forward to. I can't believe
that it has been almost a year since I had the braces put on!
I have
spent the past week glued to my computer. If you've been
reading this journal, you know that I had an idea for a
business. Well, now I'm ready to tell you about it. My
business actually has to do with braces! A few months ago, I
was talking with a couple of friends who have kids in braces,
and they wanted to put together an orthodontic travel kit like
mine. That got the wheels in motion. From a tiny idea, a
product arose. I have been doing tons of research on dental
products, and the result is a kit that I'm going to sell to
people. I call it DentaKit (simple, straight-forward
This took
a lot of careful planning and research, and a really good
spreadsheet. I ordered product samples from all types of
dental companies. Some products looked great in the package
but then didn't pass muster. Others impressed me. I put the
best that I found into the kit.
As you
know, I'm not a whiz webmaster (although I've come a long way
this year). A friend who has a jewelry business on the web
told me about Yahoo Stores. That's how I created my retail
site. My experience as a technical writer really came into
play as I designed the look of the pages. And my past
experience in marketing and corporate communications certainly
helped in the copy writing.
At the
moment, the site isn't set up to take orders. That will happen
later this month. It's still "under construction"
until then. I am set up to ship to the USA and to Canada, but
as soon as I get ahold of Fed Ex, I will try to set up
complete international shipping. Click HERE
to be taken to www.dentakit.com and see my new product line!
So, my
idea is out there on the web, and I have a room full of
DentaKits in my house! Will they sell? Well I sure hope so,
but only time will tell. Anyway, I will NOT push my product on
this site. I'll have a link or two to it, but I don't want to
push it in your face. That's not my intention. This site will
continue to be as it always has been -- a place for people to
connect and get information.
speaking of THIS site, did you notice that the ads are gone? I
finally forked over some money to Angelfire to take the ads
away. I may eventually re-design this site and I might move it
off Angelfire (as I had been planning) but for now, paying to
remove the ads was the most convenient option. Think of it as
an early Holiday gift from me to you! Personally, if I NEVER
see the ad for "World's Largest Casino" ever again
in my life, it will just fine with me!
on the Forum said that they saw a picture of Tom Cruise with
metal uppers and lowers. Just a few months ago, he had ceramic
uppers. This is very curious. Now I'm more determined than
ever to interview him. Maybe if I do my best Barbara Walters
imitation, his publicist will patch me through to him.
Seriously, I'm going to try again. Nothing ventured, nothing
gained, right?!
adjustment recently, and more aches and pains.
A weird
(and rather stupid/embarrassing) thing happened to me last
week. I had eaten a meal that contained shredded chicken. A
couple of days later, one of my molars on top began to ache.
At first I thought it was just pain from movement. Then I
realized that the pain was coming from between the teeth. I
used a dental pick to see if anything was stuck between the
two molars. Sure enough, a big hunk of shredded chicken came
out. Shame on me for not flossing more regularly. I was very
surprised! Nothing has ever gotten stuck like that between
those teeth. So I tried the pick on the other top molars (on
the other side of my mouth). And sure enough -- same
I came to
the conclusion that my molars have moved from the chains, and
now there is more space between them than before. I'm not used
to anything getting stuck between THOSE teeth because the
contacts had been so tight before. So now, I make sure to
floss more regularly and use a dental pick between those teeth
after every meal to ensure that nothing remains stuck.
I told my
plight to Dr. Vogt, and he decided to put the chains all the
way to the last molar. I hadn't noticed before, but I guess
the chains stopped on the first molar. Now they are on all the
teeth. Hence the pain I'm in. Time to break out the Ibuprofen.
My kids
went for their semi-annual dental checkup last weekend. No
cavities in either kid -- I owe that partly to my Gummy-Bear
ban. But my oldest daughter still has a thumb-sucking habit
which we must now break. Her permanent front top teeth are
coming down, and now's the time when damage could be done. Do
you know how hard it is to get a kid to stop a finger sucking
habit? Poor kid. Maybe I've been too good of an example for
her. She said, "Mommy, if I need braces it will be no big
deal!" I replied with, "Honey, it can really be a
pain, and you don't want them if you don't really need
them!" Kids can be so funny. Despite the finger-sucking,
she might need braces one day anyway. We'll know for sure in
the next year. My younger daughter still hasn't lost any of
her baby teeth, much to her dismay.
I've been
doing a lot of work preparing my other site, Dentakit.com, to
take orders. I think it will be all set up by the end of this
week. All major credit cards will be accepted. Working on that
site (and this one) has been very frustrating recently,
because my ISP (AT&T cable modem) has been very spotty.
One minute it's working, next minute it's out. It's no use
calling them, because they're a bunch of parrots reading
scripted troubleshooting guides. So we just have to wait and
wait until the cable modem is back up in an hour or two. This
has been going on for the past two weeks. We're thinking of
switching to DSL. It has taken all my self-control not to
throw the cable modem box out the window! Before AT&T took
over, the service was great. They bailed out the other
bankrupt ISP, Excite(at)Home, last year. Almost immediately
the service went to hell and hasn't improved much. That's what
happens when the mega-corporations run things, I guess.
I read an
interesting thing on the forum last week. A reader remarked
that his teeth were hurting, but after 2 glasses of wine, they
were numb. Well, there's a benefit from being an adult in
braces, don't you think? Maybe we could start a new product
line: "Lynn's Teeth Coolers" (in white, red, and
blush). How about a mixed drink? A "Bloody Gumline"
(no, that's too gross). Hmmm... A "MarTEETHni"?
A "Slow Grin Fizz"? OK, I'd better quit while I'm

President Obama: On Bowing to Kings0 Comments Published by Office 2 March 21st, 2015 in Freedom of Religion, Government, Islam, Multiculturalism, Muslims, Political Correctness, Politics, Politics, Saudi Arabia, United States of America, West, World News
By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison , CP Op-Ed Contributors – January 26, 2015|
t was a stunning sight. President Obama was in London for a summit meeting in early 2009. He bowed low before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. President Obama had apparently never learned that Americans do not bow and the American President, especially, should never bow to a King.
Now, with the death of King Abdullah, President Obama has issued a statement that is, to put it charitably, about as far from the truth as the East is from the West. The White House issued a warm statement of appreciation of Abdullah's legacy.
To Mr. Obama, King Abdullah was "a candid leader who had the courage of his convictions, including his passionate belief in the importance of the U.S.-Saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the Middle East."
Should we laugh? Or cry? During Mr. Obama's six years, the always-turbulent Mideast has boiled over. Countries that were thought to be reliable allies of the U.S.—like NATO Member Turkey, like Egypt—have been moving farther away from their pro-American stance.
All the while, our relations with Israel, our only democratic ally in an increasingly tyrannical region, have never been worse. President Obama and Secretary Kerry will go out of their way to snub Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he comes here to address a Joint Session of Congress. They say it's because the March visit is too close to Israel's national elections. Suggestion, Mr. President: With respect, might you invite the other Israeli candidates to Washington for a visit? It might not be a bad time to point out that Israel has elections.
Contrast Mr. Obama's cold shoulder for Netanyahu with his warm praise of Saudi Arabia's late King Abdullah. The King presided over a country that is as close to a totalitarian state as North Korea or Iran. No Jew can live in Saudi Arabia. No Christian can attend a church there. American contractors who live there are almost walled off. Filipino, South Korean, Yemeni and other foreign workers are virtually enslaved there.
No freedom of the press exists. A Saudi blogger's flogging had to be suspended because he was still too wounded from the first installment of his one hundred lashes. There is no freedom of religion. If you are a Saudi and convert to Christianity, you are beheaded and your headless body is crucified. That's the only way a cross appears in Saudi Arabia.
But Saudi Arabia, with its vast wealth, spreads the Wahhabi version of Islam throughout the world. It's in our U.S. prisons. It's in London mosques. It's in Pakistani schools. It is the seedbed of violent imposition of Islam. And yet serious foreign policy journalists expect us to believe that Abdullah was "a reformer."
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt met Abdullah's father aboard the USS Quincy on February 14, 1945, the President was just returning from his exhausting 14,000-mile journey to the Yalta Conference with Churchill and Stalin. FDR tried to appeal to King Abdul Aziz's humanity. Surely the Saudi king could not object to desperate Jews from Europe—survivors of Hitler's Holocaust—settling in their historic homeland in Palestine. That territory, after all, was hundreds of miles away from the King's desert domain.
Let them live in Poland, or Germany, the King replied. But, Roosevelt informed the Saudi ruler; three million Jews had been murdered at Auschwitz. Well, then, replied the King, nonplussed, there should be plenty of room to house the remnant of the Jewish people in Europe. The Saudi position on Israel's right to exist has not changed since FDR met Abdul Aziz on that bitter Valentine's Day in 1945.
Nor has President Obama's shameless abasement of himself before Abdullah in London helped us with the Saudis. For several years before his death, the Saudi ruler was said to be enraged with Mr. Obama for allowing Egypt's Hosni Mubarak to be overthrown. And the Gallup organization reports that of all the Muslim majority countries in the world, the Saudis are the most anti-American.
Now, with his Mideast policy in tatters, President Obama assures us that the changes in Yemen will come out right. And we can rely on the Iraqis we are training to stop ISIS. Can we?
By failing to uphold American principles of religious freedom and freedom of speech, press, and assembly, we have not gained the affection of many in the Muslim majority lands.
It's a good thing Mr. Obama was awarded his Nobel Peace Prize before he actually had to earn it. He was made a Nobel Laureate simply for changing the tone of U.S. diplomacy. It will make a fine trophy at the Obama Presidential Library. That may be the only place where we find the peace that Barack Obama has achieved.

The capability of these populations to initiate tumours in the mammary fats sleeping pad was likened by restricting dilution. The NRP2high inhabitants produced tumours very much even more easily than do the NRP2low inhabitants (Fig 2D). A significant small percentage of rodents (66.6%) injected with only 103 NRP2high cells formed tumours in comparison lithospermic acid supplier to the absence of tumor formation in rodents injected with the same amount of NRP2low cells (Fig 2D). We produced make use of of a lately defined mouse model of triple-negative breasts carcinoma in which the Rb, g53 and BRCA1 paths had been inactivated in the mammary epithelium using a transgene coding a fragment of the SV40 Huge T-antigen (Testosterone levels121) to inactivate pRb, along with conditional alleles of Brca1 and s53. These TgMFT121; Brca1f/f g53f/f; TgWAP-Cre rodents (hereafter known to as TBP (Testosterone levels121, BRCA1, g53)), and they develop penetrant extremely, metastatic adenocarcinomas with a triple-negative phenotype (Kumar et al, 2012). These tumours, in runs comparison to mouse mammary tumor pathogen (MMTV)-PyV-MT tumours, exhibit abundant NRP2 (Fig 2E). Cells made from TBP tumours type mammospheres that are reliant upon NRP2 (Fig 2F). Exhaustion of NRP2 in TBP tumor cells using shRNA considerably attenuated their capability to type tumours in rodents (Fig 2G). To create the function of NRP2 in tumour initiation even more definitively, we being injected TBP rodents with a NRP2 inhibitory Ab (Anti-Nrp2T) at the period of being pregnant, which sparks tumour starting point in this transgenic model. As proven in Fig 2H, the onset of these tumours was postponed Rabbit Polyclonal to RUFY1 by NRP2 inhibition significantly. VEGF/NRP2 and 61 lead to FAK-mediated control of BMI-1 The participation of NRP2 in tumor initiation suggests that its function may end up being connected to particular control cell elements. Evaluation of the NRP2low and NRP2high populations categorized from Amount1315 cells uncovered raised phrase of BMI-1, SOX-2 and March-4 in the NRP2high inhabitants, although BMI-1 displayed the largest difference in phrase between NRP2high and NRP2low populations (Fig 3A and T). The romantic relationship between lithospermic acid supplier NRP2 and BMI-1 was additional verified using NRP2high and NRP2low categorized populations from recently singled out breasts tumours (Fig 3C). Furthermore, the 6high/NRP2high inhabitants categorized from the TBP transgenic cells displayed substantially higher BMI-1 phrase than do the 6low/NRP2low inhabitants (Fig 3D). Body 3 VEGF/NRP2 signalling promotes mammosphere development by controlling BMI-1 NRP2 is certainly required for BMI-1 phrase (Fig 3E), constant with our prior acquiring in prostate cancers (Goel et al, 2012a). To check out the function of VEGF in controlling BMI-1 phrase, either wild-type NRP2 or a NRP2 mutant missing the b2 and b1 websites, which mediate VEGF presenting (Geretti et al, 2008), was portrayed in the Amount1315 NRP2low inhabitants. This mutant build was incapable to induce BMI-1 phrase in comparison to the wild-type build (Fig 3F), offering proof for the necessity of autocrine VEGF signalling in controlling BMI-1. The contribution of BMI-1 to mammosphere formation was evaluated by using up NRP2 phrase in the Amount1315 NRP2high inhabitants, which inhibited mammospheres, and eventually saving their formation by exogenous BMI-1 phrase (Fig 3G). Equivalent outcomes had been attained in gentle agar assays (Fig 3H), recommending a function for the NRP2/BMI-1 path in success of cells in an anchorage-independent way. Lately, we reported that VEGF/NRP2 signalling adjusts the function of the 61 integrin (Goel et al, 2012b) and VEGF/NRP2 signalling allows the 61 integrin and its capability to activate focal adhesion lithospermic acid supplier kinase (FAK). We also reported that the capability of VEGF/NPR2 to induce BMI-1 phrase is certainly FAK-dependent in prostate cancers (Goel et al,.

Serum amyloid A triggers the mosodium urate -mediated mature interleukin-1β production from human synovial fibroblasts
Serum amyloid A triggers the mosodium urate -mediated mature interleukin-1β production from human synovial fibroblasts - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Arthritis Research and Therapy
First Online: 18 May 2012Received: 28 December 2011Revised: 04 April 2012Accepted: 18 May 2012
BackgroundMonosodium urate MSU has been shown to promote inflammasome activation and interleukin-1β IL-1β secretion in monocyte-macrophages, but the cellular pathway and nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 NLRP3 inflammasome activation in synovial tissues, remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effects of MSU on synovial fibroblasts to elucidate the process of MSU-mediated synovial inflammation.
MethodsHuman synovial fibroblasts were stimulated with MSU in the presence or absence of serum amyloid A SAA. The cellular supernatants were analyzed by immunoblotting using anti-IL-1β or anti-caspase-1 antibodies. IL-1β or NLRP3 mRNA expressions were analyzed by real-time PCR or reverse transcription-PCR RT-PCR method.
ResultsNeither SAA nor MSU stimulation resulted in IL-1β or interleukin-1α IL-1α secretions and pro-IL-1β processing in synovial fibroblasts. However, in SAA-primed synovial fibroblasts, MSU stimulation resulted in the activation of caspase-1 and production of active IL-1β and IL-1α. The effect of SAA on IL-1β induction was impaired in cells by silencing NLRP3 using siRNA or treating with caspase-1 inhibitor. In addition, SAA induced the secretion of cathepsin B and NLRP3 mRNA expression in synovial fibroblasts.
ConclusionsOur data demonstrate that exposure of human synovial fibroblasts to SAA promotes MSU-mediated caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion in the absence of microbial stimulation. These findings provide insight into the molecular processes underlying the synovial inflammatory condition of gout.

5 Reasons: Why Capitals were eliminated
Ovechkin's silent supporting cast, slow starts helped seal Washington's fateby Katie Brown / NHL.com Correspondent
There's a narrative that surrounds the Washington Capitals: They can't fight through the pressure of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and waste the chances they have to advance. However true that may have been in the past, their early exit this season shouldn't be attributed to that.
In the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Presidents' Trophy-winning Capitals had the misfortune of running into the hottest team in the NHL. Still, it was a tight series. All but one game was decided by more than one goal, and when the Capitals played their best, it still wasn't good enough to beat the Penguins.
Here are 5 reasons the Capitals were eliminated:
Early in the series, Capitals coach Barry Trotz said the playoffs were not the time to teach lessons to players, but then in succession scratched defensemen Dmitry Orlov and Nate Schmidt when each made a bad play in a game. This, while defenseman Brooks Orpik was serving a three-game suspension for a hit on Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta in Game 2. Trotz didn't seem to trust the players that carried the load during the season, when Orpik missed 41 games with a lower-body injury.
Video: PIT@WSH, Gm 5: Ovechkin fires a one-timer for PPG
Left wing Alex Ovechkin takes a lot of heat when the Capitals experience a playoff exit, but the Washington captain often was the best player on the ice for the Capitals in the second round. He just didn't get the offensive support he needed from his teammates, aside from T.J. Oshie, who scored five goals against the Penguins. Ovechkin finished the series with seven points.
During the regular season, the Capitals prided themselves on being able to play any style of game, but had trouble matching the fleet-footed Penguins in this series. Washington also looked to be focused on going for hits rather than trying to keep up with Pittsburgh's speed. The Capitals often struggled to move the puck and looked heavy on the back end.
The Capitals were one of the best third-period teams in the NHL during the regular season, but their slow starts haunted them in the postseason, and that was like playing with fire against the Penguins. Over 12 playoff games, the Capitals scored five times in the first period, but 13 times in the third period. In Game 6, ultimately the series-deciding game, Washington fell behind 3-0 and climbed back to tie the game and force overtime. They relied on their ability to come back in games but didn't seem to figure out how get a lead and then protect it. Game 5, in which the Capitals protected a 3-1 lead into the third period, was the exception.
Video: WSH@PIT, Gm6: Bonino buries rebound to clinch series
The Capitals weren't eliminated because they played badly. There were bad stretches of play for both teams during the series, and several Penguins players said they probably didn't deserve to win a couple of the games they did. That was apparent in Game 3, when the Capitals put 49 shots on goal and Penguins goalie Matt Murray stopped 47 of them. When the Capitals did play well, the Penguins always had an answer. Things just didn't seem to go Washington's way, even when it did all the right things.

My new oven!
I don't usually get excited about cooking, I like to cook, but I'm not all that good at it. For the past 12 years I have struggled with my oven, it seemed too hot for just about everything I cooked. I tried lowering the temp, and it did improve the results, but recently when shopping for a new clothes dryer Greg and I ventured to the kitchen area.
The thermostat on the largest element of the cook-top was very temperamental. Several years ago a repair quote came in at almost $200, so I persevered with what I had.
Now that Kleenmaid has gone belly up, we were sure no parts would be available and after 12 years thought a new once would be a worthwhile expense. So to cut a long story short, I now have a new oven and cook-top.
It was installed on Friday afternoon, and to celebrate I cooked a Chocolate Cake...... not from scratch mind!
The end result was delicious, and I think the new oven is a hit! The cook top hasn't event been turned on.....can't rush into these things, it is the weekend after all!

WWE News: Vince McMahon's noble deed at RAW tapings backstage
What's the story?
Vince McMahon did a noble deed this past Monday night at the RAW tapings.
McMahon was backstage at RAW Atlanta (November 13th episode), and granted a wish to a young lad, along with a WWE Championship belt—
In case you didn't know…
The McMahon family has been involved in several different charities and social welfare organisations over the years, giving back to the community.
The WWE—helmed by Vince McMahon—has played a huge role in granting wishes of several people worldwide, working in conjunction with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The heart of the matter
On that note, WWE boss Vince McMahon granted the wish of a 19-year-old young man by the name of Orlando.
Mr. McMahon personally greeted Orlando and gifted him a WWE Championship belt—much to the delight of the lad.
Furthermore, what's intriguing is that this may indeed come as a surprise to most WWE fans who've, over the years, grown accustomed to watch Mr. McMahon as the WWE's biggest villain. This goes to show the real side of McMahon, something that's being lauded by fans and experts alike in the world of sports-entertainment.
What's next?
The WWE's next big PPV presentation comes on November 19th as one of its 'Big 4' pay-per-view presentations Survivor Series goes down at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on November 19th.
The show will be headlined by a first of sorts, as Universal Champion Brock Lesnar competes against WWE Champion AJ Styles.
Author's take
As a longtime WWE fan, it's great to see these highly-regarded WWE personalities give back to the community.
One ought to learn from the kindness and compassion shown by the ambassadors and powers-that-be in the world's premier sports-entertainment juggernaut.

So the new plan is as follows. Whenever I get the stupid drain out of me I will begin chemo with a drug they know is safe during pregnancy. I will discontinue chemo 4 weeks before I deliver the baby. I guess that's because I need to get my platelets and blood count up so I don't bleed out during delivery. After I deliver the baby I will continue another 12 weeks of chemo on a different drug that is not yet proven safe for the baby. After that I will have radiation and then I will be done with treatment. I'm disappointed. Doesn't the doctor know that I already had a great plan in place? I guess he doesn't really care about my plan to make cancer treatment as convenient as possible. I guess I have to be thankful for that. He cares about getting me healthy. He told me today that when I became his patient I became part of his family. I totally believe him too. I guess when you're going through cancer it makes you a part of this separate cancer culture.
So for now I'll sit around waiting for my drain to produce less than 30 ML of fluid per day and then the chemo can begin. I am so not looking forward to this.

Man Dies in Jet Ski Accident on Willamette RiverVideo by Jerry Freeman Salem-News.com
News release from the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
(SALEM) - On Sunday, August 12 at approx 7:43pm, the Polk County Marine Patrol unit was notified of a boating accident Â3/4 mile up river from Wallace Marine Park involving a person being towed on an inner-tube behind a jet-ski.
The operator of the Jet-Ski (Salinas, Alejandro) was pulling his brother (Salinas, Enrique) behind a Honda Jet-Ski when they made a wide turn to head back towards Wallace Marine Park. When they made the turn, they ended up making the turn too wide which ended up swinging the inner-tube that Enrique was riding up on the rip-rap rocks on the west side of the river.
Alejandro had an observer on board Naba-Murillo, Geraldo (05/06/75) who quickly notified Alejandro who stopped to render aid to his brother while Geraldo drove the Jet-Ski back to Wallace Marine Park where he notified Deputy Chris Brodniak and Deputy Eric Berry who were on patrol in the area.
Upon arrival of the Deputies at the crash scene, it was determined that the crash was very serious and transported Alejandro and his brother Enrique back to Wallace Marine Park to meet the medics who were staged. The ramp was closed off for about 3 hours while the investigation took place.
Video from the scene by Salem-News.com's Jerry Freeman:

So we have landed in April it seems and firmly into the second quarter of 2013.
Something that has been asked of me more and more in recent weeks has been about this happiness project and if it has genuinely made me a happier person? In short the answer is a firm yes. Everything I have touched in recent months has turned to gold. There really isn't one aspect of my life that I am not happy with. Job, house, friends and hobbies are all looking rather sound. What I have pondered of late is the how and why. How have I made myself happier and why am I happier?
The first aspect that I was adamant on changing this year was being a better person to other people. Be it strangers or friends I have made a more concerted effort to make other people happy. My methods have been wide and varied. From offering to pay for lunches, opening doors, offering sears on public transport, allowing others off the bus first, smiling at strangers, paying bills for family members, giving things away and encouraging others to excel in their chosen field or with their favourite hobby. I feel deep down far more contented than I ever have at any stage in my life before. There is something to be said for offering gestures of kindness to others.
Another vast improvement has been on a personal level. My fitness levels have never before been at such high levels. Well, not for a good 15 years anyway. Thanks to my good friend Steve who also plays the roles of landlord, semi-house mate and training buddy I have put in countless hours on the roads of my local area through running. Two weeks ago I managed to knock up 100 km's for the week, something I had never done before in my life. And a good deal of this dedication and effort has come off the back of training with Steve. He is one amazingly inspiring human being who only ever has good things to say about people and will always be the first one to offer encouragement in so many ways. He's been there at 5 am to get me up for our road runs when I would have otherwise taken the soft option to noded myself back into sleep.
So aside from trying harder to help others and keeping fit and healthy what else has been a success so far in my happiness project?
Self belief is something we often overlook in moving forward in life. When we look back at our personal achievements it is more than likely self belief that got us over the line. So why do we sometimes lack self belief? Fear of the unknown? To carry self belief in our day to day life isn't always the easiest thing to do. It is a trait we have to learn to install deep within ourselves. But when you do carry it with you every day the difficult tasks become that much simpler.
Another element I have been working hard on is the "do it now" approach. If something lands on my desk at work, a chore at home pops up or I decide to try something, regardless of the time of day I have tried my best to "do it now" and I must say this fresh approach is working well. The day to day runnings of life have become far more efficient. Being the great procrastinator that I once was it has been difficult taking on this particular challenge however it is providing me with rewarding results.
I'm off to Europe in just under 12 hours from now so one thing is for certain that 2013 is only going to continue on the up and up.
See you all soon.

Skincare trends you should try at home today
The answer to perfect skin is to find what works best for your skin. The 7 skincare trends you should try at home today will help you in deciding if you should make new additions to your routine. If you have been reading my articles, you will find that I am all about saving money and my skincare is not an exception. So these tips are definitely budget friendly if you are a student.
Epsom salt bath
Have you ever wondered if Epsom salt baths really work, like people claim it does? Well, I can definitely tell you that it works because I tried soaking in it in the comfort of my small bathroom without the help of a professional. All you really need to do is add 2 handfuls of the Epson salt in your bathtub, run the tab and soak in there for 20 mins.
For people who do body peels, I will recommend adding Epsom salt bath to your weekly skin care routine. I find that having a dead sea bath soak 3 days after performing a body peels, helps speed up the peeling process. The dead sea help lift up the dead skin on my body and this easily comes off in the water. While in the bath I also massage my skin in a circular motion to help remove the dead skin.
Dead sea mud mask
Dead sea mud mask is mainly beneficial to acne and dry skin. The mud in this mask is water based, so brings hydration to your skin. The main ingredient in this mask, which is the dead sea is known to enhance the skins ability to retain moisture because it is made up of minerals such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium.
Apple cider vinegar bath
Apple cider vinegar has a lot of benefits for skin, hair and weight management. Add some apple cider vinegar to your next bath and soak for about 30 to 40 mins. This beauty routine will soothe and nourish your skin because of the nutrients in the apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar is also good in restoring the skin PH balance because of its acidic properties. I usually dab a few apple cider vinegar in my underarm to get rid of body odor. Therefore soaking in water with apple cider vinegar will help you eliminate body odor naturally.
Bentonite clay mask
Have you ever thought of using a clay mask but wasn't too sure of what difference it would make to your skin? Well, I have a few points to share that will probably encourage you to try this mask at home today. Masks containing clay are good for eliminating acne, blackheads and reducing excess oils. Apart from helping to reduce the appearance of acne and blackhead, bentonite clay mask can also be used as a body detox, to get rid of toxins.
I use this mask once a month, mainly at that time of the month when I feel like my skin needs some extra care. Just mix the clay powder with water or apple cider vinegar and smooth the past on your skin and leave on for about 15-20 mins, then wash off.
Turmeric mask
Being such a budget (How to save money fast) conscious person but at the same time wanting a good looking skin, am always on the lookout for beauty tips that costs nothing. So I was really happy to find out that I could use turmeric to get my skin to glow and I didn't hesitate to give it a try. Turmeric has a natural yellow colour and is very popular in Asian countries for lightening the skin naturally. I use this turmeric face masks once a month to boost the results of my vitamin C serum for glowing skin.
So give it a try and see how it works out for you.
