Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Remarkable Skin Care -- Exactly How To Abolish Oily Sheen Buildup Every Day

By Celine Brooks


You are certainly not alone in your private struggle with oily skin, especially on your face, that always seems to be there during the day. It just looks unattractive to have a shiny face due to a layer of oil. It's possible that you've been operating under the assumption that heavy layers of makeup can hide the problem. Wiping it away with a nearby piece of paper, a napkin or even your hand is an even worse idea. Incidentally, you should never use your hand on your face unless you absolutely have to. You're basically only be wiping the oil that is on your hand onto your face and making it dirtier. What you need to do is understand a bit more concerning your skin, proper skin care, plus a few other things we're about to tell you.

There are some products that pull double duty: they clean your pores and treat your oil production levels. Natural products, especially, are made to help lower your oil glands' activity. One good way to do this is to keep your body hydrated with filtered water. Doing this helps to calm down your oil glands. If your skin is dry, the oil glands make more oil to even things out. Don't think that, just because you don't "feel" it, that you can't be at least a little bit dehydrated. If you suffer from oily hair, it is important that it gets shampooed at least once a day. This is so that you can lower the risk of your hair's oils being transferred to the skin on your face.

We have all heard the admonishment to remove all make-up and wash our faces before going to bed. By not taking this critical piece of advice, you are only laying the foundation for future oily skin. It is incredibly important that you make sure to take off every stitch of makeup at the end of the day. Taking it off when you get home from work is a good way to remember to do this. Regardless of when you do it, be sure to use an appropriate cosmetics remover. After it's off, wash your face with a good face wash and put on a tiny bit of moisturizer.

Every person in the world knows it is important to go to bed with a clean and makeup free face. Overlooking this vital piece of advice means that you are basically setting yourself up for oily skin problems. It is vital for your face that you take off every scrap of makeup at the end of your day. It's even better if you take it off earlier--like after you're home from work. Make sure to use a proper cosmetics remover no matter when you decide to clean your face. Then wash your face with an appropriate facial cleanser and apply a little bit of moisturizer.

You may be wondering why you need to moisturize your face when you have oily skin problems. That is not a paradox because you will be helping your skin to have enough moisture, which it needs, and that will cause your oil glands, or sebaceous glands, from being hyperactive.

You can undo the onset of oily shine during the day whenever you notice it by quickly making use of oily skin blotting products. Those products are obviously best for quick and temporary relief. You also need to take a good and objective look at your entire skin care routine to address the issue on a deeper and long-term basis.

Part 1 - Butterflies of Mexico

By Robert Nickel


The word butterfly is generally thought to originate from "butter colored fly" or "butter thief". In the UK and Europe, the first butterflies to come out of hibernation were a light yellow, which may be the idea behind "butter fly". However the German word for butterfly is milchdieb, meaning "milk thief" which may be an old farming moniker for their habit of landing in pools or buckets of milk for a drink. Interestingly, there was a trend during the Victorian Era in which people referred to butterflies as "flutter byes". The nickname didn't stick around for very long, just long enough for some in the 20th century to mistakenly assume "flutter byes" was the origin of "butterfly".

Perhaps the most famous butterfly of all is the iconic Monarch butterfly. Their distinct black and orange coloring, and large numbers make them easy to spot and strikingly beautiful. Every year millions of Monarchs migrate more than 4000 miles from the Rocky Mountains in Canada, through the US and down to the magnificent Fir trees of Mexico. On the border of the Mexican state of Michoacan and Mexico State (Mexico City) there is the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve which covers 56,259 hectares. The reserve is directly in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt populated by a pine and oak forest ecosystem which is absolutely perfect for Monarch butterflies.

Entomologists estimate between 60 million and 1 billion butterflies migrate to the reserve each year. There are 14 major Monarch colonies in the forested areas, measuring about six to sixty million butterflies per hectare. However only eight of the colonies reside on the reserve, and just four are open to the public for visiting.

Another striking butterfly found in Mexico is the Swallowtail. There more than 550 species of Swallowtails. With the exception of Antarctica, they can be found on every continent. The most colorful specimens reside in tropical areas, and the Mexican Kite-Swallowtail is no exception. It can measure as much as six inches in length, with 'swallow' tails two to three inches long. They are white with black lines, subtle red markings, and long black antennae. The Dark Kite-Swallowtail is not much like the Mexican Kite-Swallowtail, despite the similar name. Its tails are much shorter, almost non-existent. Colors are dark, all black with a few red spots, and the body is larger than the white version. One unique trait the Swallowtails have is the placement of an organ on their heads, just behind the antennae. When the butterfly is threatened or squeezed, the organ emits an odor containing terpenes. So don't get too close!

These are just two species of butterflies found in Mexico, so stay tuned for part two of this series! We will take a look at more amazing beauties of the insect world, other butterfly reserves in Mexico and how to spot the most rare species.

The Island of the Dolls

By Robert Nickel


Mexico City sits directly in the center of the southern region of Mexico. The city was originally built on an island in middle of Lake Texcoco by the Aztec nation. In 1325, when the city was completed, the lake was massive and considered a good barrier to invaders. Unfortunately, a Tenochtitlan siege in 1521 destroyed the original city. Three years later it was rebuilt according to Spanish standards, but in the same place.

As the city grew and built up breakwaters and land spaces for buildings, canals were formed. Water was redirected away from populated areas, creating several small islands in the surrounding areas. The Mexico City of today is most definitely not the same as when it was built on a little island in Lake Texcoco.

Over the last several hundred years those silt-formed islands speckled amongst the canals have grown in size and sprouted vegetation. Until about 60 years ago the islands have gone untouched simply because of their instability and lack of size. But one island in particular grew large enough for a small cottage to be built amongst all the trees, and that is just what Don Julian Santana did. He left his wife on the mainland and decided to live on this little scrap of land for the next fifty years of his life.

Many people have come up with various possible reasons for his decision, but the one that seems to stick is that of the little girl he could not get out of his mind. Apparently Don Julian witnessed the drowning of a small girl in one of the surrounding canals and the ghost of the child had haunted him ever since.

Don Julian spent all of those fifty years collecting and scavenging dolls from anywhere he could, all in an effort to create a shrine for the girl's ghost. He traded fruits and vegetables for old dolls, rooted through garbage dumps, begged at people's homes, even asked for gifts of dolls. Don Julian would even collect doll parts, later piecing together odd parts to create a few Frankenstein-like dolls. Some he never found bodies for, so every once in a while a lone doll head is found perched on the end of a stick or branch.

Every other doll he collected was hung from a tree on his little island. With the effects of time, weather, the natural environment and various creatures, the dolls have taken on an eerie appearance of decay. Some no longer have heads or limbs. Others have had their eyes poked out by birds. Dolls made from cloth materials have deteriorated badly, but they maintain their child-like form - making them look even creepier. Adding to the overall sinister feel of the island is the fact that Don Julian hung dolls by the neck, making them look like they are hanging bodies of children.

La Isla de la Munecas is a popular tourism destination for those who appreciate spooky exhibits like these. The interesting element in this instance is the shrine was created out of a real feeling of anxiety, regret and remembrance. Every doll was collected and displayed for the purpose of pleasing a spirit, not for the purpose of drawing a crowd. The Island of the Dolls is more genuine than most pieces of art found in the best art museums of the world.

An Article About The "Mini" Type Of Dental Implants

By Derek E. Lopez


Planning to have a dental implant? There are different kinds of dental implants that patients must understand. Mini and traditional dental implants are the two fundamental types. You should be aware of the differences of each so that you could decide for the best.

People with tight schedule can have the benefit of fast and unfailing application of the mini implants. One can have a quality one in few hours.

Many patients wearing dentures are grateful with the discovery of this technology. There are many limits brought about by the tooth-like substitute: you must be choosy with foods and drinks, you must be careful not to laugh loud or talk fast- the teeth might snap out! But, with the help of the implant, it would be similar to the appearance and sense of natural teeth.

It is annoying for sure to have that kind of dentures that needs to be repaired over and over, readjusted from now and then. Better not to use one if the assistive device gives you frustration.

Dental implants are titanium root device inserted into the gums down into mandible. Traditional implants are usually placed by slicing the gum and inserting it to the none-teeth area of the bone. A cover is placed to wrap the implant and to seal it around the tissues. It will take about half a year to heal and osseointegrate or until the root or screw attaches with the bone. The cover is then removed after the gum has healed and abutment is used to affix the bridge or artificial teeth to it.

The mini implant is done instantly, minimizing surgical procedures. Titanium implants are screwed to the area where teeth will be placed. Then the prosthesis is attached, but now even without the abutment. This method makes the complicated traditional way a lot easier, faster and practical. There is faster healing process, less discomfort and can be used much sooner. Expect lower cost with the less invasive method. You may also choose from the various materials. But check this out with your dental practitioner.

Whatever number of teeth you wanted to be resembled, may it be in the lower or upper jaw, or both, you may still use this implant. You may choose between the permanent and removable denture as well.

If you desire a meticulous cleaning, then removable artificial teeth fits you. Let your dentist be aware of your decisions.
