Smooth Stones For Your Garden

This weekend me and my friends are going to the beach to unwind. We will be visiting the Sandbar Beach in the town of Concepcion. The beach is found in one of the islands located off the town's coast. It's about 3 hrs from the city befor we reach the town of Concepcion.

I'm already excited to see the white sandy beach and the clear bluish waters. I'm looking forward to swimming and playing ball with my mates. We already have done our grocery shopping and we definitely have loads of tummy fuel to keep us full for two days.

I'm planning on bringing home some nice smooth stones to decorate our garden at home. Sometimes I'd find stones that aren't shaped the way I wanted them to be, so what I do is use a rock tumbler to smooth out the edges. Rock tumblers are just machines where you can shave off parts of a rock without breaking it up into pieces. Machines like Lortone rock tumblers can be found in your local rock and sand shop. If you don't have one in your area, you can buy one online.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

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.
