Your Weekly Star Guide
By Madame Malisa
Renowned medium & psychic


ARIES
Mar. 21 – Apr. 19

There’s something you want and it will take quite some effort to obtain.

If you see it, some may question your motives while others may try and obtain it, too.
Getting this will take time and you need to ask yourself right now, is it worth the struggle and is it truly worth having?

If the answer is yes, make certain you are clear as to why, so others will understand


TAURUS
Apr.20 – May 20

While there are many things you are in charge of in your life, you don’t have total control.

It’s perfectly all right to share some of that authority in the home and in the workplace.
If you try to be the boss of all you survey, people will rebel and only bring you heartache.

Understand how others see your actions and how the interpret your motivations.


GEMINI
May 21 – Jun. 20

This is not the time for foolish experiments.

You want that last gasp of winter excitement but what’s on your mind is a risky endeavor that will not turn out well.
Examine what is compelling you to do something that may have long-lasting repercussions. Ask yourself every question connected to the issue.

The answer may come as a surprise.


CANCER
Jun. 21 – Jul. 22

Things are starting to even out in your life.

Relationships regain their solid footing, projects get completed and you’re lining everything up for the rest of the year.
While you take deserved satisfaction in your efforts, do not stop until everything is just so.

If you happen to be seeking something else such as a new job or new project, see these through.


LEO
Jul. 23 – Aug. 22

There’s a buzz in the air.

Things are shifting into a higher gear at work, with much to do. The projects seem to multiply and there’s a reason.
Keep your eyes and ears open as all this activity will provide you with unexpected opportunities.

Do not overwork – and make certain you do not neglect your diet or sleep during this busy period.


VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sep. 22

It’s been a fun winter but now the bills are coming due.

Take a hard look at your budget and your bank account and you will see that maybe you’ve overdone it.
Now is the time to slow down and regroup without panicking.

This does not mean the end to your entertainment; you just need to be wiser in your choices.


LIBRA
Sep. 23 – Oct. 22

The chatter you hear is like the buzz of insects only it’s growing in volume.

Normally, you can tune it out but this week you will be tested.

Find whatever calms you – tea, stuffed animals, mantra – and use it all week long to avoid erupting and hurting those around you.
They mean you no harm and don’t even realize this annoys you.


SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

You’re going to feel like two different people this week.

At work, you are energized and hyper-efficient, getting things done in an orderly manner. The praise will be well deserved for your efforts.

At home, you won’t want to do anything too serious or too strenuous. Instead, you should keep things light with family and friends.
It’s a good balance.


SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Your intentions, as always, are good ones.

But those receiving your advice, or even your help, may not be as receptive as they should be. Your best efforts are good and underappreciated.

Don’t let your feelings get hurt by them. Instead, know that things will balance themselves out in the weeks ahead.
For now, grin and bear it.


CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Someone will be pestering you all week, seeking attention.

Your first instinct is to want to help, to offer an ear or shoulder to smooth things out for them.
Be careful, because this person could drain all your time this week with nothing in return.

They are needy without cause and have cried wolf one time too many – so be wary.


AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

The stars have shifted and the advice that has been offered now begins to grate on you.

Suggestions and comments suddenly feel like broken glass dragged across your skin.

Your ego has become fragile and you are easily angered and annoyed this week. Be careful and acknowledge this to yourself.

Don’t let innocent comments cause an eruption.


PISCES
Feb. 19 – Mar. 20

You’ve been complacent all winter, flowing with the tide.

That ends this week and you need to seek out the incident, event or comment that will shake you up.

It’s OK this week to get a little confrontational or take someone to task if necessary. The time has come to get back in charge of your life.

Re-examining your core beliefs is an excellent way to start.

ED ANGER: “LEAVE PAT ROBERTSON ALONE!”

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , No Comments »

That crazy Reverend Robertson is at is again.

He says God sent the earthquake to punish those voodoo people down there, for making a deal with the Devil. If that’s true, then there’d be earthquakes in Washington once a week!

At least Pat Robertson is sending millions of dollars down there. The thing is: other nuts besides Pat Robertson are saying their own crazy stuff, but the Lame Stream Media isn’t reporting on any of that!

I hear that washed-up commie pinko movie star Danny Glover says the earthquake was because we didn’t listen to Al Gore about his fake global warming!

I know Al Gore makes it snow wherever he goes – but the only earthquakes he makes are when he stomps back and forth to the fridge for more pie!

Don’t hold your breath waiting for libs to call that commie movie star a nut, though!

He’s one of them, and not a pasty faced old born again Christian – so Danny Glover gets to say whatever he wants. And he’s a colored guy, so if you say anything bad about him, that makes you a “racialist”!

Speaking of which, some study shows people wish they hadn’t voted for the Teleprompter Kid after all! You all laugh at old Ed Anger, but I’m right about everything! I told you he’d wreck this once great nation and turn it into a pubic banana!

What’s worse is that crybaby Glenn Beck stole all my ideas and made a million bucks! Just because he’s younger and better looking than me. If I ever get the chance, I’ll bash him over the head with my oxygen tank! He’ll be crying all right, that little whippersnapper!

Think Clearly. Get Your Beauty Products Wholesale.

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , No Comments »

People desire the fountain of youth that beauty goods will give. The stores showcase this wish by packaging their goods in gorgeous packages and try to make you think the answer for you is within the package. How about looking at wholesale beauty goods as the way to go? You can save money and receive the same goods in most cases. You could wonder how to go about shopping for www.dhgate.com/wholesale/health-beauty/dcp.html”>wholesale beauty products. Many small shopping stores presently have shops that buy from wholesalers and distribute to the public. At times you’ll find the same products as in the retail stores.

Often they’ll be similar but with different names and packaging. One important thing to bear in mind is that the price tags are usually very bargained. One reason it’s okay to shop in the expensive boutiques, or even in the department stores, is that you will be able to see when wholesale beauty products are in fact a sale compared to full costs. Most of the time, they’re a deal even compared to sale costs in the retail malls. A further reason to shop in the expensivecenters before you go looking for wholesale beauty is that you want to read the labels. Don’t forget to take your eyeglasses.

You can want to choose some of your favorite goods, or the things you think you could be interested in, and look over the labels for the basic ingredients. Let’s face it. There aren’t that many ingredients in the world that can be used for hair or skin care. These retailers that boast about special formulas are really just combining the same old things in random combinations. Or it may be the combinations are not even very different but the packaging is what’s new. Retail selling is all about raising the price tags because middlemen need to make a profit, and as packaging costs a lot and since prime location stores in large boutiques must pay a lot of rent. Wholesale beauty items are much more friendly to your pocketbook.

Once you understand what you’re doing since you’ve read the labels, taken note of the costs, and tried a few things, you will know whether that lipstick you could find at the wholesale beauty store is as good as the one in the top store. Trust me, it typically is. In this economy, saving money is what it’s all about, especially when the goods are a bargain.

I have great interest in wholesale china goods such as wholesale cell phones, wholesale watches, wholesale jewelry, wholesale shoes, wholesale fashion products and wholesale beauty goods, and wholesale Christmas supplies.
As one of famous china wholesalers, I have engaged in this line for more than 10 years.
I am glad to share experiences of china wholesale with you.

What to bear in mind before getting a tattoo?

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , , , No Comments »

If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo but have some doubts about it, remember that before adventuring you should keep in mind certain basic aspects:

  • Choose the best combination between the design and size of the tattoo: there are endless images to put in your skin: drawings, letters, symbols, tribals… however, not all of them will look good in just any size. The rule is, the smaller you want your tattoo to be, the simpler the chosen image should be. This is simply because complicated drawings will become less clear as more reduced is the size of the surface dedicated to them; that is, if a drawing has many lines and the tattooist has to make it at a very small scale, two lines could become one, or a dot could come to occupy much more proportional space than it did in the original picture. So, the design will probably lose virtue and the result won’t be the best.

  • Choose the most adequate part of the body: there are certain “risk zones” that is better to avoid, the most common being the thighs, the abdomen, the breasts, and in some cases the biceps. Why? Because these areas tend to vary in size: if you gain weight, if you lose it, and the same with muscular tissue… when these parts change their size and the skin tightens or loosens, the design can lose its original shape. If you choose these types of areas, the most convenient is to get a simple drawing, for example a tribal, and avoid above all pictures of faces or bodies. Also keep in mind the hair matter; because to tattoo you they will shave you, and when the hair grows back it could ruin your design.

  • Always remember that a tattoo is a permanent mark: tough as we know there are many methods to remove a tattoo (later on we will examine some of them), when getting rid of a tattoo the zone in question can suffer changes such as hypo or hyperpigmentation, or the ink may not disappear totally and leave unwanted and unsightly markings. It is extremely difficult that the area remains as if the tattoo had never existed.

  • Don’t choose the design lightly: very often this is the reason by which after a certain time people decide to eliminate them. In general, you will be more satisfied if the tattoo has some personal meaning, if it expresses some aspect of its bearer’s personality, or his ideas, goals, likes, convictions.

  • Don’t drink alcohol before getting your tattoo: this could provoke excessive bleeding.

  • Always check out the sanitary aspect very carefully: this is probably the most important thing to have in mind before getting tattooed, you must make sure BEFORE any needles touch you that the place’s and the personnel’s hygiene and the instruments they use are appropriate. The syringes must always be taken out of their hermetic wrapping right in front of the customer’s eyes, the personnel must wear latex gloves, the place must be totally clean and it should inspire total trust. Remember that you could get very serious diseases if the conditions aren’t adequate: hepatitis b, hepatitis c, bacterial infections and mycosis, allergic reactions, malignant lesions such as melanoma and skin cancer, leprosy, psoriasis and even AIDS. It is chiefly important not to take these precautions lightly, for your health and your life are at stake.

Lastly , remember that if you’re not completely sure, there’s no need to hurry… and if you are, be sure to clear any doubts before deciding, and, once more, as our most important piece of advice, take a very good look at all the correspondent hygiene measures. Good luck!

Natural Cosmetics Product Review

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , No Comments »

How to distinguish natural cosmetics from synthetic cosmetics?

Aside from reading product labels and knowing how to understand and decipher them. Learn how to perform your own product testing and review. Too difficult? Don’t fret, it is not that complicated. You do this every time you choose wholesome food at the grocery store. Surely, you read product labels to purchase the freshest, most natural, food? You analyze, consistency, feel, texture, smell, and taste. Subsequently, tasting it will assure you, whether your purchase was worth it. How does your stomach feel? Did you feel tired and bloated? All of these questions will determine future purchases. You see, who needs to be a chemist or cook to answer these questions?

How can we apply this to cosmetics?

We can use this same deductive reasoning when it comes to purchasing cosmetics. As a wise consumer, examine closely the product label as well as the ingredients. Do the promises seem too good to be true? Does the product promise to eradicate wrinkles. What ingredient will do this? Also consider this, if the ingredient is so miraculous, then why could you not purchase this ingredient by itself and get the same results? You would be paying far less money. With this type of deductive reasoning, question each ingredient as to why it is included in the product. Beware of hype!

What is the shelf life of the product?

How long will the product remain fresh? Most products, even natural cosmetics, can’t last for very long. However, if they are loaded with preservatives, they can theoretically last for many years. This is because preservatives release a chemical called Formaldehyde. This substance is so strong that mortuaries use it to retard the putrification of corpses. Why would anyone use a cosmetic that contains embalming fluid? Therefore, beware of Propylparabens, Ethylparabens, and Butylparabens. Even a little bit of these chemicals on the skin can cause serious kidney and liver damage!

What kind of emollients should be used?

Have you noticed the greasy coating on fruits and vegetables at the supermarket? Have you ever tried to rinse it off? Next to impossible! Do you know what this coating is? It is mineral oil, or Vaseline. It is a byproduct of gasoline production. It keeps water from evaporating from fruits and vegetables. This coating increaes their shelf life. Also, it makes them look shinier and more appealing for increased sales. Most consumers have become so accustomed to it that they no longer question it. However, would you substitute baby oil for corn oil in your salad dressing? Or make your mayonaise from Vaseline? Repulsive, you say? They are not meant to be used on humans? Well, the cosmetic industry uses these very same oils as emollients. It clogs pores, does not wash away. So it rides on top of the skin, sealing it, making you think that your skin is moisturized. But this is dangerous. This is why fish and wildlife suffer and die slowly when oil tankers spill petroleum. Skin does not breathe when skin is encapsulated like this. Actually, it is like wrapping your skin with cellophane. Neither your skin breathes well, nor does it perspire.

How natural cosmetics feel?

Completely natural oils function differently on the skin than petroleum. The human body has an affinity for natural substances. They are instantly recognized by the body as something similar, and therefore slowly metabolized. That is why after a few hours a natural moisturizer will be completely absorbed by the skin and assimilated. When you begin to first use a completely natural product you will wonder why it feels like it has dissipated so quickly. In actuality, it has not disappeared, but rather it has soaked into the lower skin stratum. It will actually take quite a few repeated applications for your thirsty skin to slow down the process of lapping it up. With time you will see a marginalizing of wrinkles, a reduction of over-production of sebum, and a more even skin tone. This wonderful progress should not be interrupted by the use of something synthetic. Why, this will actually confuse the skin. It would be like eating a healthy meal,and interrupting it by eating a Twinkyl. This would certainly give you a stomach ache and the body would not be able to properly digest the wholesome food.

How to do the cuticle test.

A very effective way to test a cosmetic is by applying it to cracked and dried cuticles. Because this area of the body is so thin and sensitive, it will show you how your face will react to this product. Also, it will safeguard your face from a bad reaction to the product. At the cosmetics counter, put some cream on your cuticle and spend some time shopping in another area of the store. This will help save you from unwittingly bringing the product home. Also it will save you time and money.. If you feel a stinging sensation, similar to what you would feel from lemon juice poured on a paper cut, then this product will cause skin sensitivity. On the other hand, if you feel no stinging, but rather a soothing feeling, you can be assured that this product will welcomed by your skin. By this simple test, you will be able to quickly eliminate the majority of products which will sooner or later cause a bad reaction to your skin.

How to Identify an Infected Navel Piercing

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , , No Comments »

With the popularity of body piercing at an all time high, the incidence of infected navel piercing has gained a great deal of attention. If you’ve recently decided to have your navel pierced, it is a good idea to know what constitutes an infected navel piercing and when the time comes to seek medical attention. Essentially, any type of body piercing is a wound. Wounds can become infected, even when reasonable attempts at performing the procedure were done in a sterile environment. Don’t assume you can’t get an infected navel piercing simply because everything was clean and sterile. This means you must be on the lookout for any signs of infection. It is important to note that the piercing will show a small amount of redness several days after the procedure. There is usually also some crusting over, as with any wound. There may be a small discharge of fluid that appears milky, but this also is to be expected and is not a sign of an infected navel piercing. Typically, these signs will all fade within six weeks to two months, with perhaps only a little residue of redness at the points of entry. One of the first signs of an infected navel piercing will be something outside these typical perimeters. If the redness is accompanied by swelling that does not begin to subside quickly, chances are you do have an infected navel piercing. In like manner, a change from the milky fluid leakage to a thicker discharge that is yellow in nature is a clear sign that you have an infected navel piercing and should seek medical assistance immediately. Consistent stinging or other pain is another sign of an infected navel piercing. As with any situation where a puncture in the skin has taken place, you can expect some minor irritation for a very brief time. However, if you find that the area remains tender and the pain increases when you are attempting to clean the wound, there is a chance you have an infected navel piercing. Do not let this slide for more than a day or two. If there appears to be no change, then go see your doctor. An infected navel piercing can be easily treated, so there is no lingering damage. However, just as with any type of infection, it is important to have it taken care of as quickly as possible. Minor infections, such as an infected navel piercing, can create significant health problems later on, if not treated in a timely manner.

Body Painting: Henna Tattoo

Posted in Style Tags: , , , , , No Comments »

Henna tattoos are an ancient custom in India: girls and women are body painted before ceremonies, like marriage. They painted complicated patterns on their hands and feet to symbolize their fertility.

Henna (or ‘Mehndi’, the Indian name) is made from the henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis). The leaves of the plant are dried and ground. The powder gets mixed with water and you get a sort of green-brownish mud. If you put that mud on your skin, let it harden, and then peel it off, you will notice it has left an orange color.

You can get your henna at an eastern shop or a ’souk’ in many different colors. There’s orange, mahogany, brown and black. The orange one is the traditional henna. The black henna is synthetic. It contains PDD (P-phenylenediamene) and can cause allergic reactions. Even if it doesn’t cause irritations, it’s still unhealthy. Moreover, in the past, black henna at your wedding was considered a disgrace.



Henna Recipe

With one pack of henna, you’ll have enough to body paint the entire football team. Put the henna in a bowl and gently pour some lemon juice and boiling water in the bowl. Don’t use too much water, the mud has to resemble the thickness of sate sauce. The purpose of the lemon juice is to help the color hold better on your skin.

Your skin should be clean, dry and not fat. If you want to color your nails too, they shouldn’t have nail polish on them. Make sure you really want this, because your nails will be orange for about 2 months. It doesn’t come off! When the henna is cold, you can get to painting.

If you want to paint your foot soles, which is a traditional custom in Marokko, make sure you have a pillow of some kind to keep your feet off the floor, before you know it, the henna mud is everywhere! You can apply the henna with all sorts of instruments, what works best is a syringe (without the needle of course).

Symmetric and geometric shapes work best. Don’t make the lines too thin, the color won’t come on to your skin very well. The bigger the surface, the brighter the color will be.
Now: the annoying part: Waiting…

Let the henna dry in the sun, the warmth of the sun will get your color deeper into your skin. You can also use a hairdryer.

If you make a mistake in the picture your painting: ACT QUICKLY! If you wipe it off too late, the henna will leave a red spot.

After a while, the henna will start to burst. Don’t peel it off yet! The henna has to stay on for at least two hours. Then you can start removing the crusts of mud.


DON’T remove the henna with water! Just scrape the crusts of your skin, you can do this with a bold knife. Don’t let your body painting get in touch with water for the first couple of hours. Right after you scraped off all the crusts, rub your skin in with olive oil. It will make the color brighter and help keep the color on as long as possible. Your henna painting will survive for about a month or so.

Also nice to know: Swimming, body peeling, scrubbing your back, and bodyscrub products will make the henna tattoo deteriorate faster.
