Exfoliate!

Health and Beauty Tip

Dry, cold weather can cause dead skin cells to build up. Even if you don't usually use an exfoliator, now's a good time to start. You can also use a puff or a loofah. Use moisturizer afterwards to keep your skin soft.

Easy Shopping Thru Credit Cards

I'm still in Las Vegas enjoying my vacation. I still have almost a month remaining to enjoy it. Of course, vacation without shopping is not exciting especially for women including me. There are a lot of shopping malls here in Las Vegas. I had already been to the different shopping centers here.

The only bad thing is that, I don't have a credit card to use for shopping. Nowadays, using cards for shopping is already indispensable. Besides that it is also safe, easy and very convenient, you also don't need to carry cash anymore which is sometimes dangerous.

Everytime, we go shopping here in Vegas whether in a department store, groceries, restaurants and anywhere, most people I see just swipe their cards for payments. That sounds not fair to me!!! I guess, I need to have one too.

While browsing the net, my mouse clicked creditcardflyers.com. It is a leading source of credit cards offers and they also offers online reviews for credit cards. They accept Credit card applications for all types of credit cards that best fit your needs.

Australian women over-dieting, says survey

MELBOURNE (UPI) -- A survey suggests that Australian women are going to extreme and even unhealthy lengths to try to lose weight.

Fortune magazine polled 1,000 Australian women aged between 18 and 35 and found that 56 percent had used diet pills, while 88 percent regularly skip meals and 17 percent go for more than a day without eating in order to lose weight. Another 15 percent admitted to being anorexic or vomiting after eating.

Eating Disorder Foundation founder Amanda Jordan said the survey reflected national research.

"This really highlights the absolute tyranny of image and how women are being seduced into dangerous and unhelpful behavior," she told the Melbourne Sun-Herald, suggesting that magazines such as Fortune were partly to blame for their images of overly-thin women as ideals.

"If you're going to blame magazines, then you are also going to have to blame TV, Internet and advertising. Everyone carries the same stories," said executive editor, Ali Wick.

Great site for Summer Gears!

I just came back from adventure and fun in Disneyland and Universal Studio in California. Together with my cousin's family, my sister and a friend, we had lots of fun and excitement there. That was a very memorable experience for me going there for the first time.

I just forget some stuff to bring with me. Well I forgot to buy a binocular especially that I need it in Universal Studio. It is a very huge place and by just looking with your bear eyes, you don't see all your surroundings.

I just browsed OpticsPlanet. I believed it is a great site for searching summer gears. You have everything you need from astronomy, eyewear, hunting, military gear, outdoor gear, sport and many many more. I just got interested about their Laser Sights. I guess, I found a great deal about Streamlight Twin-Task 3C Laser Gun Metal Gray Flashlight with a very reasonable price of $29.89.

Going out for summer adventure!!! Search you gears now and be prepared!! visit opticsplanet.net!!! Have fun!!

Men to 'protest' 'Sex...City' pink drinks

TORONTO (UPI) -- Mock protests against "pink drinks" organized by a distiller and brewer are scheduled in Toronto for Friday's premiere of "Sex and the City."

The maker of Canadian Club whiskey announced Thursday seven mock rallies will be in the city to mark the premiere with organizers leading chants such as "Hey hey ho ho pink drinks have got to go!"

A release said the spoofs are "to protest the rise of the pink, girlie cocktail and the demise of the masculine cocktail" in the movie about four women in New York.

Meanwhile, a survey of 500 Canadian men by Moosehead Lager found 36 percent will be watching a hockey game and drinking beer rather than attending the film's debut. Another 28 percent said they would be walking the dog Friday night, a release said.

Regardless, at least 35 percent of the men polled had advance knowledge of the movie. Asked which of the four women was the "hottest," 11 percent named Samantha, followed closely by Charlotte with 10 percent. The Carrie character scored 7 percent and Miranda was fourth with 4 percent.

Among the men, Mr. Big scored 2 percent as the hottest, the release said.
