Living the Good Life in a Small Beach Town Called Holden Beach

What is your definition of the good life? Is it the capability to buy luxuries you want and provide the needs of your family without worrying about the bills and other household expenses? Is it the opportunities to travel and see the world with someone you love? Is it possessing objects of value priced along the six-figure range each? Or, is it feeling a complete satisfaction over the quality of life you're living even when you and your family aren't part of the A-List citizens in your neighborhood?

To me, the last definition is my idea of a good life. I don't need wealth, fame or prestige. I only need a place to rest my head peacefully, to do the things I want, and to be who I am without prejudice. And, in one of my visualizations of what this "good life" constitutes, I could see a beach house in a quiet community somewhere south. If you're living in North Carolina, then you'd have heard of Holden Beach, which has a very long stretch of white beach that's perfect for jogging on foggy mornings, playing with your dog on a relaxing afternoon, or simply for walking hand-in-hand with your sweetheart on a balmy evening.
Holden Beach is actually an island town, one of many in the South Brunswick Islands in North Carolina. It's near Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and Wilmington in the north. The whole stretch of white sand faces south. And so, anyone from the shore can watch the sunrise and sunset panorama unfold again and again. The community only has 900 or more hometown residents all year, but the number swells to around 10,000 when summertime peaks and tourists come in droves.

When it comes to real estate Holden Beach NC has many options to offer. Whether you want to stay at Holden Beach as a resident or you just wanted a place to crash in during summers, you have a choice among beach cottages for day trippers, low-maintenance condos for the summer months, and majestic homes by the ocean that can accommodate a large family gathering or a corporate event.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

By
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?

By
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

By
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.
