The Honeymoon

Well the bride and groom have gone to their honeymoon. They are probably enjoying some sun and surf at some Caribbean resort. The word was that they had one of those Caribbean villa rentals for the 2-week vacation they both needed. Why two weeks? Both are too involved with their work they can't afford to lose time beyond the two weeks they're allowed for their honeymoon. But hey, they got a lifetime of being together. If you were in their place, what more could you ask for?

Just a bit of trivia...

The original tradition of a couple going away for some time began with a story of bride-napping in North European history. For a man to claim a woman, he must abduct her and hide her from family and friends for some time until the bride's family gave up their search.

The "honeymoon" tradition was also interpreted by British poets and prose writers in the 16th and 17th centuries as a waxing and waning of marital affection based on the Nordic notion. To the Northern Europeans the terms referred to the body's monthly cycle and, combining it with honey, suggested that not all "moons" of married life were as sweet as the first.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
