August 31st, 2010Dilara Reviews: Billy Jealousy Golden Gloves Therapeutic Hand Cream
August 16th, 2010
Billy Jealousy’s GOLDEN GLOVES was featured in Dilara’s “Beauty Junkies Unite” blog. Check out the article here.
“Sometimes my hands and fingers are so dry, it is like little pieces of Velcro are attached to my fingertips! If you’re suffering from Velcro hands, banish them withBilly Jealousy’s Golden Gloves Therapeutic Hand Cream. It has all the qualities I look for in a hand product; nothing greasy, nothing smelly (I hate feeling like a cookie after putting on lotion) and something that lasts even after a hand-washing.
I started playing the guitar again so I was welcomed back to the world of calloused fingertips and shredded cuticles. I started slathering Golden Gloves on my hands before bed each night and let it work its magic. It is packed with ingredients like Squalane Oil and Tamanu Oil, both which are proven to naturally help the skin regenerate and heal. One other key ingredient that I think makes a difference is the Monoi de Tahiti oil. It is a Polynesian beauty secret that has been used for years that helps soothes and moisturizes your skin. That is what also gives it a light, clean scent. Besides that light scent, it has no frills—just quality ingredients that to their job.
This product is mainly geared towards males, and it definitely fills the bill with a cool name and sleek packaging, but I am telling you ladies THIS STUFF WORKS. If you plan on getting one for your man, you might as well get one for yourself too because you will be fighting over it!”
the Wisdom of Sun-Safe Skin
August 3rd, 2010Just by protecting your skin from the sun, you can prevent signs of aging & reduce your risk of skin cancer.
We suggest adding Combat Lines, Face Moisturizer SPF 30 to your daily routine. It fights the signs of premature aging, increases skin elasticity & protects the skin from free radical damage. Check it out here.
Here are some more helpful tips to minimize your exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.
1) Wear sunscreen every day, no matter what.
Sunscreen is the most effective anti-aging skincare product, so wear it every day– rain or shine!
2) Choose wisely.
Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protects against both UVA & UVB rays, with a SPF of 15 or higher. Note, the bigger the SPF number, the better the sun protection.
3) Stay in the shade.
When possible, avoid outdoor activities between the hours of 10 AM to 4 PM, when the sun’s rays are the strongest. If your shadow is shorter than you, UV rays are at their strongest.
4) Reapply sunscreen.
Be sure to reapply sunscreen frequently, especially after swimming, perspiring heavily or drying off with a towel.
5) Cover up.
Wear a hat with a 4 inch brim- it will keep the areas protected that are often exposed to the sun (neck, ears, eyes, nose, etc). Also, wear clothing to protect the skin as much as possible. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, or long skirts. Choose tightly woven fabrics and dark colors.
6) Wear your shades.
To protect your eyes from sun damage, wear sunglasses that block 99 to 100-percent of UVA and UVB radiation. No matter what season it is, wear your sunglasses for protection.
7) Know your skin.
Early detection is the best defense in treating skin cancers. Always be on the lookout for new skin spots or changes in existing spots on your body. See your dermatologist regularly for full body exams.
David Sena
June 16th, 2010
David Sena is an interesting artist who uses an unlikely choice of medium. He experiments with fire, fireworks & gunpowder on paper, making intricate burns that create funky but gorgeous textures & patterns.
Sena’s process is methodical. He is focused, controlled and (most importantly) very safe! He’s developed some interesting techniques, from drawing circles using a smoke bomb held by pliers to burning perfect holes by lighting firecrackers under a cup. Highly skilled, a little crazy, but very unique!

The Allure of the Automobile
May 10th, 2010
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA is featuring an exhibit on custom-made cars as works of art, focusing on the cars fine forms as well as their historical significance.
There is a total of 18 cars on display- the most notable being the rare 1938/1939 Porsche Type 64, which was donated by Porsche. Having this car in the show marked the first time in history that the shell of this Porsche has left Germany.
Design relevance and automotive pedigree unite to show the evolved styling of elite street and concept cars. Guest curator Ken Gross, an automotive historian and former director of Peterson Automotive Museum, offers extensive background on each car while Ron Laboco, the High’s Curator of Decorative Art and Design, approaches the cars as singular works of art.
The Great Oom
May 4th, 2010
Robert Love delves into the interesting life of yoga guru Pierre Bernard (born Perry Baker in Leon, Iowa) in his book, The Great Oom.
Bernard was one of yoga’s earliest promoters who went on to become a hypnotist. He performed extreme stunts, such as having pins pushed through his cheeks and earlobes and a hatpin pushed through his tongue- all while in a trance. As a result, he gained a lot of attention from wealthy San Francisco residents, and he achieved a rock-star status among his female followers, which eventually led to charges that he had conned and enticed a young woman.
Ultimately, the charges were dropped and Bernard moved on to the Vanderbilt family and established a yoga center on an old Nyack estate. His yoga center was a success, until the Depression came along.
Bernard went on to use the riches he made from yoga to start a chemical company, an airport, a semi-pro baseball team, and a trained elephant act. When Bernard passed away in 1955, yoga was moving mainstream. Love credits Bernard with changing public perception of yoga from self indulgent exoticism to healthful normalcy, but this colorful, wild tale reminds us that money is America’s true religion.
