Men Have More Delicate Skin Than Women!
It's a fact. Men's skin is more delicate than women's. Yep, you heard right! The daily shaving ritual aggravates the skin, destroying the hydrolytic film on the skin's surface, thereby increasing dryness and reducing the skin's natural protection....
Nuthin' but Blue Skies
"Welcome to Canada," Ken shouted to me over the roar of the rain and thunder. A constant downpour kept the photography workshop indoors. We slipped out during a break in the clouds, but as soon as we set up our tripods, a thunderstorm swept in out...

Sunburn, UV Overexposure & Skin Cancer: Prevention or Cure?
Overexposure to the sun and UV rays is rarely obvious at the time, -- and on many occasions, probably quite unintentional. However repeated exposure has rather more adverse long-term implications for our bodies and our health.

Traditional vs. New Age Self Defense
The alternative self defense product, stun gun, requires a bit of introduction. A lot of people when they first hear the term “stun gun”, they actually think of the little gadget featured in many science fiction movies. In fact, self defense...

No longer the Raj
I note with interest, that over in Basildon, a shop has opened that caters for people with dark skin. Enough of the euphemisms. Afro-Caribbean. These ladies from Essex no longer need to trek into London to find suitable cosmetics.
Over at the shop, partner Sharon Peters, whose family was originally from St Lucia said, "Black skin has a different texture from white skin, it contains lots of a melanin, and therefore everyday beauty products are too greasy for us. Black people, obviously, have thicker, curlier hair, which requires special treatment, with specific products."
This story made me smile. Recently, sweetheart was in the front garden when she heard a voice say, "It's because of the Brazilians, you know." Conspiratorially, like.
Well, sweetheart looked round, trying to sort out if this was becoming some form of a biblical happening. Eventually, however, the grey hair and disturbed face of our elderly next~door neighbour poked out and explained that the house down the road, though it had been on the market for ages, wouldn't sell
because of the occupants from South America, who lived opposite. They smelt, she said. And they had the wrong sort of curtains. (This is all true, I kid you not.)
Well, as I say, when I first came across this story, it was amusing from the point of view of trying to fathom out what the reaction would be, should such a shop open where I live. Living amidst the rolling hills of a rural county in England has many advantages, of course. I like landscape. I like the smell of harvest. But unlike the harvest, I can't say I've ever smelt the family who live down the road...
You see, a lot of the older generation still think they are sipping gin and tonics, fanned by the natives, as they lounge on the verandah out in India.
The Raj is over. The empire IS nothing but an insipid little man called Tony. And that's alright with me.
Welcome to a multi~cultural England, dear.
Tonight, I play the rhumba louder…
