I’m always on the hunt for good skincare products. I have problematic, sensitive skin. I get frequent blemishes and even though my skin is primarily oily, I tend to get small dry patches in the most obvious areas. I’ve tried many different brands of products over the past decade of my life. My favorite brand is Arbonne. I even used to be a sales rep just to get a nice discount. Regardless the products are pretty pricey. For the past 5 years or so, I’ve been using products that contain Vitamin C. My skin has responded well to them and I think they have anti-aging properties.

The other day I was at a local nutrition store and I happened to stumble upon a bottle of cold pressed Rosehip Seed oil. All of a sudden a lightbulb went off in my head. Knowing what I know about oral supplementation with Vitamin…

Gisela Boothroyd-Smythe and her newly ex-husband, Maxwell,

sat at opposite ends of the William Morris Willow Bough Minor

upholstered sofa in Acting Head, Augustus Snodbury’s study.

He had called both warring factions into school for a review of

their delinquent son’s Autumn term.  The emotional temperature

in the room reflected the physical Polar Vortex being experienced

elsewhere.

Snod opened the large file on his desk.  Gisela rubbed her heel on

the rug, exacerbating the hole which had been initiated many

parental meetings before.  She twisted the wedding ring which she

now wore on her right hand.

Maxwell sat with his legs splayed, trying to make himself appear

bigger.

Attendance…hmm..almost perfect.  Maths and Science very good.

Arts subjects: ‘a facility with words’, as his form teacher, Mr

Milford-Haven has so succinctly put it in his summative report.

Everything seems to boil down to John’s problematic attitude to

authority and his…

As a tourist you are always a bit lost. Every new city raises the same question. Where is the hostel/hotel? How does the public transport work? Where can I find a map? Different cities have different ways of providing you with the necessary information. In my opinion Melbourne is a good example of a tourist friendly city.

There are probably more 3-D printers in one place at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas than anywhere else, at any time. We know you want to keep up to date, so we got the lowdown on every one of them.

Makerbot is in the news because Monday brought the announcement of two additions to the company’s lineup of printers. The Makerbot Replicator Mini provides the bare minimum for extrusion-based printing, which heats up an easily melted plastic and lays it down in lines. It lacks a screen and only prints up to 4x4x5 inches (and not quite as precisely as its big brothers), but it’s lighter on the wallet at $1,375.

I’ve seen many movies depicting Nelson Mandela’s long, renowned struggle for equally and the end of Apartheid in South Africa.  I thought this chronicle was going to be more of the same.  I was very happy to see Mandela’s history from early childhood all the way to his inauguration as President of the nation he loved so much, which included his 27 years stay in prison.   How Mandela went from a peaceful freedom fighter to a lifer was well documented in this story of peace, violence, love and hate.  We were taken through the Winnie Mandela  innocent years into her transformation to a leader of the people who stood for violence. It was amazing to see how Mandela dealt with the hopelessness and despair he was faced with on a daily basis for 27 years.  Edris Elba surprisingly portrayed an excellent Nelson Mandela even though his ascent was a little shaky.  I thought this film was well done and didn’t…
