Parabens in Antiperspirants Have Been Implicated in Breast Cancer As time goes by and the more I research the more I realize that we are the only ones in control of our health.   It is truly frightening to see all the chemicals that are allowed to be put into EVERYTHING these days.  From the food we eat to the soap we wash our body with to the antiperspirant we use.   Parabens are chemicals that serve as preservatives in antiperspirants.  Previous studies have shown that all parabens have estrogenic activity in human breast cancer cells.  Parabens are a common ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants, and research examining parabens suggests chronic antiperspirant use may lead to a heightened risk of cancer, specifically breast cancer. The research in question looked at where breast tumors were appearing, and determined that higher concentrations of parabens were found in the upper quadrants of the breast and axil...

                                     I know you always hear the words “We are what we eat” but it really is true!  The condition of our skin often tells a story about our overall health and well-being.  It is no wonder that sugar is a culprit in many health problems including diabetes and obesity.  #Sugar is also a major factor when it comes to our #skin health. The foods that keep our blood sugar low are also good for the skin . That means we must avoid sugar, including refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup, along with all processed foods. Not only does sugar cause inflammation in our body, but it also adversely affects our cell membranes and breaks down our collagen. Collagen is a type of protein that helps us make our skin elastic. All is not lost though. He...

A well-groomed #brow can add definition and open up your eye area and create an overall appearance of balance to the face. Get your #brows wrong and they can wind up looking overplucked and can throw the proportions of your face off or just disappear altogether. Tip #1:  Shape is everything and once you find the shape best for your face, you have won the battle! The shape of your #eyebrows should flatter your face. Soften a square face by rounding the arch. Alternatively, an angled high arch can bring definition to a rounder face.  A lighter, more manicured eyebrow can give your face the fresh look you’ve been longing for.  For best results, follow the natural shape of your brow. Tip #2:  To start your brow rehab, a good tweezer is a must. Select a tweezer with a slanted tip, which helps to align perfectly along the arch of your brow.  Although there are many excellent tools available, my favorite brand of tweezers is #Tweezerman . They...
