Lip Color By SeneGence Lipsense



By Robin Brain
Every girl today wants to look good. They use a lot of cosmetics to make themselves beautiful. They take a lot of pains to improve their looks like straightening their hair, whitening their complexion using creams and making their lips lustrous using lip sense and lip gloss. Here we will discuss about their lips. The girls use lip sense to make their lips most kissable, attractive and lustrous. Lipsense is a product manufactured by SeneGence and is called SeneGence lipsense. SeneGence lipsense is a semi permanent lip color which imparts a particular color to the girl's lips on a temporary basis.

Since SeneGence lip sense is semi permanent, so, it leaves an option for the girl who applies it on her lips that she wants to sleep without removing it or not. She can remove the color while removing rest of the make-up at night before sleeping or she can sleep with that color on her lips and when she wakes up the color looks as fresh as it was while sleeping or when it was applied to the lips. This lip sense lasts for many days unless it is removed by the girl itself. Moreover it contains substances which do not let the lips to get dried up. This means it can remain on the lips of a girl for many days and yet it will not dry the lips up. Those substances will keep on moisturizing the lips and make lips as beautiful and shining as they can be made. Lip sense has proved to be the best lip color for the working woman as well as the homemaking woman today.

Today most of the lip colors contain wax and resins or both. Chemically wax is a product of distillation of petroleum. As petroleum creams causes the skin to develop cracks on drying, similarly, wax also develops cracks on the lips when it gets dried. So most of the lip sticks are not able to act as moisturizing agent for the lips and they cannot provide required moisture content to the lips to make them shine and more attractive. Instead lip sense can be applied which contains oils which penetrate the epidermal layer and keeps the lips moisturized from the inside resulting in more shininess and attractiveness of the lips. It also heals the dry and cracked lip which was caused by the previous lip stick. It patches up the cracks and makes them soft again. So lip sense can be a great advantage over the traditional lip stick used by most of the girls.

Herbal Remedies For Acid Indigestion

By Sandra Kim Leong

Herbal remedies for acid indigestion can be considered if you do not want to take antacids. Generally, as herbal remedies are natural, they are less harmful to our body. It is true that indigestion is becoming a pervasive problem in modern society. You just need to look around to get an indication. If you look at supermarket and drugstore shelves, you can find them filled with antacids. Television or radio commercials have also been heavily promoting antacids as the cure for heartburn.

An acid indigestion that persists or worsens, despite various solutions you try or adjustments you make in your diet, should not be left unattended. You should have it checked by a health professional.

To achieve proper digestion, your stomach needs to be relaxed. If you tend to overeat or eat too quickly, you are likely to suffer from indigestion. Consuming too much food at one sitting burdens the stomach; its digestive juices get diluted making them function less efficiently. Thus, you may taste the stomach acid and feel pain.

You can try herbal remedies for acid indigestion as safer alternatives to antacids. Herbal remedies have virtually little or no toxicity unlike manufactured over-the-counter medicines. These does not mean that herbs are not potent at all; if fact, some of them are. Before using any natural remedies, you should check with your doctor that it is safe for you to do so. Here are some known herbal remedies for acid indigestion:

Slippery Elm. This herb was used by early folk healers as a digestive tonic and for treatment of acid indigestion and dysentery. The relief it brings to acid indigestion derives from its healing action on the mucous membranes. Herbalists believe it soothes inflamed tissues and draws toxins and other irritants from body tissues.

Licorice. A form of licorice called deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), a chewable form of the herb, is a natural antacid. Unlike a regular licorice, DGL does not have hormonal side effects. This makes DGL more effective and will not contribute to elevated blood pressures, which can be a side effect of other forms. Licorice helps fight ulcerations caused by hyperacidity.

Mint. An ancient medicinal herb, mint is a cooling diaphoretic that relieves indigestion, gas or colic, and heartburn. It can also calm nausea and vomiting. The menthol in mint appears to soothe the smooth muscle lining of the digestive tract. Some studies show peppermint also may help to prevent stomach ulcers and stimulate bile secretions.

Gentian. Gentian contains a chemical (gentianine) that stimulates the secretion of stomach acid, lending some credence to its 3,000-year old history as a digestive aid. Try it before meals. Gentian tastes very bitter, so you might want to add honey to your decoction.

Papaya (Fruit and Leaves). While papaya is not known as a herb, its plant has a surprising potency in combating digestive disorders and calming down a disturbed gastrointestinal tract. Its powerful enzyme, papain, helps to breakdown complex proteins, reducing the digestive load on the stomach.

In addition to the above suggestions, you can also try steamed cabbage. The glutamine in cabbage apparently settles an irritated stomach. Fresh cabbage juice, drank immediately after preparation, also helps in soothing. You should always chew your food well and eat in a stress-free setting to prevent acid indigestion.

She believes that the key to overall health lies in good digestion. For free research, please sign up to her newsletter at http://www.Detox-Cleansing-Diet.com.

Stop the Excuses and Start Exercising



By Thomas Kersting

I've heard every excuse from people who don't exercise. "I don't have the time." "I don't like my gym." "It's not for me."

Recently, when a client of mine came for his first appointment, the excuses came with him. Here's what I said to him. "Well John, I don't want you to go to the gym; Forget about it; you're right, gyms are useless." Puzzled, he looked at me and said, "are you being serious." I responded, "John, you have your very own gym and it's at your front doorstep; It's called the street." He was speechless.

Well folks, it's that simple. If you are overweight and you don't exercise, there are no excuses. Turn-off the television, put your sneakers on and walk out your front door. If it's too cold, put on gloves and a hat. If it's too hot, go in the morning. If it's raining, bring an umbrella. Losing weight is about dedication and if you want to live longer you need to become dedicated to exercise.

Excuses are mere defense mechanisms. They are your minds way of protecting you from doing things that you're not thrilled about doing, and exercise is one of them. Take for example a kid who doesn't do his homework. Why does he avoid it? Because he doesn't like it, so he keeps putting it off. Eventually the repercussions follow when he gets his report card or doesn't get into the college of his choice.

The same holds true for you. You're not exactly thrilled about exercising so you don't do it. But you will pay the price down the road when your doctor gives you a poor bill of health or your favorite jeans don't fit anymore.

Now what about the kid who completes homework and is rewarded with good grades? Bingo. He continues this pattern, does well in school, starts to crave success and eventually gets into the college of his choice. Excuses just aren't part of his repertoire. And the same will hold true for you once you get on track with exercise. When you sit down, acknowledge all of the excuses you're making and put them in perspective you will begin to see the light.

What I want you to do right now is to write down every excuse you make for not taking care of your body and your health; for not exercising. STOP reading for a moment and start writing.

Well, what did you come up with? Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it. You heard me. There are plenty of people out there who have far less time then you do, can't afford a gym membership, don't own a treadmill and have worse aches and pains than you do. But somehow they manage to squeeze in a 30 minute jog or walk every day. That's because their health is important to them, how they look and feel is important to them. And guess what, you have every ability that they have.

Now that you understand that there is a well-paved road right out your front door, don't you think it's time to squeeze in some good old-fashioned, fat burning cardiovascular exercise? I want you to look at your list and think long and hard about what I'm saying. If something doesn't click in your brain when you're done, then make sure you have good health insurance because you're going to need it.
