MAKE-UP

  CHOOSING MAKE-UP      Since before recorded time women have used perfumed oils, soaps, lotions, and make up to both enhance their personal appearance and to prepare themselves for religious ritual. Women have performed spells using perfumes, hairbrushes, mirrors, lotions, masks, and face coloring. These spells sought love but conferred protection, purified the spirit, opened the psychic senses, and prepared the woman for sacred ritual. Today the cosmetic industry bombards us with images of what we should be rather than letting us be who we are. Beauty comes from within that part of a woman who is Goddess, whether she is large or small, blonde or brunette, dark skinned or light.

QUIT SMOKING

  Why Quitting Difficult ? Mark Twain said, "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times." Maybe you've tried to quit too. Why is quitting and staying quit hard for so many people? The answer is nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug found naturally in tobacco. When you smoke, nicotine is carried deep into the lungs, where it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and carried throughout the body. Nicotine produces pleasurable feelings that make the smoker want to smoke more. It also acts as a depressant by interfering with the flow of information between nerve cells. As the nervous system adapts to nicotine, smokers tend to increase the number of cigarettes they smoke, and hence the amount of nicotine in their blood. After a while, the smoker develops a tolerance to the drug, which leads to an increase in smoking over time. Over time, the body becomes physically and psychologically dependent on nicotine. It affects many parts of the body, includin...
