Ghosts of Wales: Accounts from the Victorian Archives
"Do you believe in ghosts? Then attend to my story! Laugh as we may at the idea of ghosts, people do believe in ghosts, and fear them."
In the Victorian era, sensational ghost stories made headline news.
Spine-chilling reports of two-headed phantoms, murdered knights and spectral locomotives filled the press. Spirits communicated with the living at dark séances, forced terrified families to flee their homes, and caused frightened workers to down their tools at the haunted mines.
This book reveals for the first time more than 50 hair-raising – and in some cases, comical – real life accounts from Wales dating from 1837 to 1901. Unearthed from the newspaper archives, they include chilling prophecies from beyond the grave, poltergeists who terrorised the industrial communities, and more than a few ingenious hoaxes along the way.

Our House
The vision for Hannah's House is to provide a range of respite services for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. This will include a purpose-built family support centre which will be centrally located in Perth's metropolitan area and accessible to all Western Australian children with life-limiting conditions and complex care needs.
The home will provide holistic care which focuses on the emotional, social and physical needs of the child starting from diagnosis and continuing throughout the child's life. Services will be available to children from all faiths, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. The importance of religious customs and cultural needs essential to the daily lives of each family will be respected.
Modelled on a typical home environment, the home will include private children's bedrooms for planned respite stays and a small number of additional rooms to offer emergency care. Some of the rooms will be adjoining allowing family members to stay close. The home will be modern, vibrant and designed with the children's needs in mind. A central lounge and a communal dining room will encourage carers, children and their families to eat meals together and offer plenty of space for activities, games and teenage entertainment. Indoor and outdoor play areas will also benefit the child and their siblings and provide the opportunity to deliver a range of occupational and play therapies.
A special feature unique to Hannah's House will be a self-contained family unit. Given the high and frequent level of care needed by many of these children and the fact that many are non-verbal, parents are often reluctant to leave them in the care of others. By enabling parents and siblings to stay for a night or two, parents will develop confidence that their child will be well cared for and this will allow them to spend some quality time with their other children and possibly even have a holiday.
Hannah's House will feel like a 'second home'; a place where the child and family can feel nurtured and supported in a comfortable and safe environment and where the care of a sick child is shared and friendship and support is offered in a practical way.
If you would like to know more about how you can help make Hannah's House a reality, please contact:

This Month's Music Maker of the Month is Tommy Crain. Tommy passed away in his sleep January 13, 2011. The music world lost a one of a kind guitar player and songwriter, but some of us lost a friend. Tommy Crain was born and raised in Nashville and became interested in music at a very young age. In the sixth grade a neighbor kid who played guitar, showed Tommy a few chords and they entered and won a talent contest at school and won. That was all it took to turn him on to a lifetime love of music and guitars! Tommy got started playing in "garage combos" around Nashville, at school dances, frat parties, and in backyards, garages and driveways all over town. Bands with names like "The Spartans", "The Lemonade Charade", and "The Shadows".
Tommy continued to practice and get better and better on his guitar. His younger brother Billy started to show some interest in playing as well, only problem is Billy didn't yet own a guitar.Tommy came home from school one day and found his guitar with a broken string and brother Billy nowhere to be found. Billy had been trying to play Tommy's guitar and had broken a string. Billy was sure he had ruined his brother's pride and joy and hid under the bed for hours. Tommy finally figured out where he was, told him to come out and assured him that guitar strings were replaceable! They both then started practicing together for hours upon hours. In 1969 The Allman Brothers Band released their first album and once the Crain Brothers heard it, they were knocked out by the sound. Tommy started The Flatcreek Band with his brother Billy and some of their friends. Flatcreek developed a large local following and they played lots of Allman Brothers tunes mixed with some of their original songs. As the band became more popular they added a road crew. At Tommy's Memorial Celebration, Roger Campbell, long time member of Charlie Daniels road crew told a story of how he started working for The Flatcreek Band. Roger was 14 years old on his paper route and trying to sell subscriptions to The Tennessean. He knocked on a door and asked the fellow who answered if he'd like to subscribe to the paper. The boy politely declined but offered to take Roger to "A GIG" . Roger didn't know what "A GIG" was but the boy was driving a nice new car so he jumped in. Roger learned that "A GIG" was a band playing in a driveway. Roger met Tommy Crain, who was playing guitar at "THE GIG" and Tommy and he became friends. Roger also knew Billy Crain from school and figured out that he could ride the school bus home to the Crain's house and watch the brothers jam in their bedroom after school.

STEAMLabs Releases the Internet of Things Teaching Kit
STEAMLabs, a non-profit dedicated to teaching children how to create things using technology, is proud to release the Internet of Things Teaching Kit. This open-source kit is available for free to educators and anyone wanting to use Arduino programming to create projects with Internet brains.
Most kids start out interested in programming, but lose that interest when they struggle to make their ideas reality. The Internet of Things Teaching Kit uses a Spark Core Arduino-compatible board with open source software to simplify coding, making a number of interesting projects simple for anyone to create — even those with no experience of programming.
The IoT Teaching Kit itself is designed for teachers with little or no knowledge of code, introducing them to the concept of Arduino programming and walking them through the skills necessary to complete IoT projects.
People already familiar with Arduino programming can skip ahead to the section introducing IoT projects, concepts and coding. Each IoT project can be completed within a couple of days, even by somebody with no programming experience.
Download the teaching kit now at https://steamlabs.ca/resources/teaching-guides/
This Internet of Things Teaching Kit has already been used in Toronto public schools and our Makerspace on Roncesvalles to teach dozens of kids basic programming, hardware and design skills.
STEAMLabs is also developing new materials such as their School Projects with Internet Brains, a curriculum designed to empower primary school teachers to integrate technology into class projects. This curriculum will include step-by-step guides for completing a number of group activities.
STEAMLabs will be running a series of workshops training educators to effectively use the Internet of Things teaching kit. These workshops will run in spring 2015. Sign up for our mailing list (http://eepurl.com/rvLor) to be notified when registration is open!

OKsBy Colin A. Young
State House News Service
BOSTON -- Gov. Charlie Baker signed most of a $1.15 billion economic development package on Friday afternoon, approving restrictions on the use of non-compete agreements and greenlighting a sales tax holiday for this weekend, but vetoing protections against bad-faith assertions of patent infringement.
The product of a late-session compromise between the House and Senate, the bond bill authorizes almost $538 million in public infrastructure grants for local projects, $250 millionø for the popular MassWorks municipal infrastructure program and $75 million in grants for technical education and workforce training.
"Our administration is proud to sign our second economic development bill to provide more opportunities to workers, strengthen Massachusetts' economy and enhance workforce development programs," Baker said in a statement. "We are pleased to create a sales tax holiday for 2018, continue the MassWorks program and expand workforce skills training to advance the Commonwealth's innovation economy."
Baker's office had already telegraphed that he would sign the provision of the economic development bill that would authorize a sales tax holiday for Aug. 11 and 12, but the governor also approved 63 of the 71 other outside policy sections in the bill.
Baker used his veto pen on a policy section that would have prohibited a person from making an assertion of patent infringement in bad faith, known as "patent trolling.
In a letter to lawmakers, Baker said he vetoed the provision "because it creates a new cause of action against patent owners in a manner that is not narrowly tailored and is likely to have unintended consequences for Massachusetts residents, companies and educational institutions."
Baker said he agrees that the state has a role to play in deterring patent trolling and suggested "that the Legislature should revisit this topic in a future session and draft a more focused solution to this problem."
Sen. Eric Lesser, who shepherded the economic development bill through the Senate and was the chief proponent of the patent trolling language, said Friday he is disappointed that Baker vetoed the section.
"This provision was widely supported in the tech and startup communities as a way to protect entrepreneurs and inventors from patent trolling tactics. These shakedown operations sap resources from new startups and scare people out of inventing things here in Massachusetts, costing us thousands of jobs and potentially billions of dollars in new investment," Lesser said
The second and final section vetoed by the governor would have created a special commission to study the barriers to establishing "last mile" broadband connections. Baker wrote that he disapproved of the section because the commission "is given an expansive mandate that will likely divert resources and attention from our ongoing work to ensure that all Massachusetts communities have access to broadband."
The governor sent six parts of the bill back to the Legislature with proposed amendments. He proposed a sunset date for an apprenticeship tax credit program two years later than what the Legislature had approved, arguing that the Legislature's 2022 sunset date would not provide enough data on the effectiveness of the program.
Baker also proposed amendments to sections dealing with a study of widening Route 2 between Gardner and Concord, a special commission to study data related to programs that support stable housing and economic self-sufficiency, and a task force that was to stimulate the revitalization of industrial mill buildings.

However, this is not quite the everyday Southern suburban scene that it appears to be, as a closer inspection reveals something a little different on the rear of 3581. This is in fact the D-Tours 'Tatty Cat' railtour, with 73105 & 33117 at the rear. 3434 is working the 10:35 Basingstoke to Waterloo service. Ordinarily this would be a very fortunate parallel running picture, but in this case 3434 has got in the way slightly!

whale watching tours
Choosing the destination of your expensive vacation, you'd better be sure that you will be getting your money's worth. Vacationing alongside whales is just the thing. There are only three places in the whole world where you can watch these giants in close proximity, and with Okeanna you can easily visit one of them.
Every year, more than four hundred humpback whales come to the coastal waters of Tonga to stay from July to November. The size of these sea mammals is quite impressive – they grow up to 15 meters (50 feet) long and can weigh 45 tons. Imagine four cars parked back to back, and you will get an approximate idea of the size of an adult specimen. Of course, you are not allowed to approach such giants on your own, but guided whale watching tours are available.
This is the kind of adventure you will never forget. Depending on your swimming abilities, you can watch the whales either while swimming right nearby under the supervision of an experienced guide or from onboard a comfortable yacht. And to be sure, there is a whole lot to look at! For instance, the whale courting dances, with their caressing touches and gentle play of colossal bodies diving deep down in pairs and then rising slowly together, belly against belly.
It is difficult to put in words what you feel when seeing two immense
animals jumping almost entirely out of water and literally standing on their tails. And their breathtaking songs! Male whales dedicate to their beloved ladies real serenades.
Since whale pregnancy lasts exactly one year, little ones are also born here in Tongan waters. Before a newborn takes its first breath, it must swim up and break the water surface, being gently helped in this endeavor by its mom. And you might just get lucky enough to witness this.
Whale watching cruises are perfectly safe. The professionals who organize the tours ask to observe certain rules, such as enter the water quietly, make no sudden moves, refrain from harassing the animals, and follow instructor's orders precisely. As long as these rules are observed, swimming near whales is safe, and you are free to enjoy the unique experience of proximity with these enormous extraordinary beings.
There is an option to participate in scientific studies of humpback whales. Scientists working in Tongan waters take pictures, video and audio records, perform blood tests in order to study their DNA, etc. You can become a part of a scientific team as a volunteer.
Needless to say, your photographs with the whales will become an undeniable proof of the fact that your expensive vacation has been truly outstanding.
The way it works
We base our service on the procedures standard for the world's vacation industry. Each of our expert tour agents has the full list of necessary information from leading yacht rental companies and the best tour providers in the Kingdom of Tonga.
Okeanna presents to you all available offers so you can make an informed decision and choose on of them.
Next, you have the option to purchase insurance policy from 1Cover, the world's largest travel insurance provider, which includes cancellation and disruption coverage. Should you like to opt out, you would need to sign the release of liability form.
Okeanna builds your entire Tonga itinerary, from the international flight (we can help you arrive in the capital of Tonga with practically any place in the world as the starting point) to any and all types of tours and entertainment available on the islands. Please bear in mind that the international air fare is not included in the cost of the standard tour packages and must be calculated separately depending on your point of departure.
Some advice from a professional travel consultant
It is best to make the reservation for your trip to Tonga about six months in advance, although even if you contact us within just a couple of months, we will make every effort to organize your vacation in the best possible way. In general, the more time our managers have, the better flight and hotel accommodations they can secure for you, for lower prices. When selecting your itinerary options, we suggest that you opt for small but professional tour agencies having valid registry numbers and accredited with the local Tongan consulate.
Choosing a niche tour operator specializing in your particular destination will help avoid many problems during your travel.
A free consultation with the Okeanna Company's staff is always available via online chat on our website, e-mail, or phone. We respond to every inquiry quickly (unless our local weather interferes seriously). Also, please consider the time zone difference when contacting us.
As your travel agency, the Okeanna Company collects and presents for your consideration the offers of Tongan tour providers and the world's leading yacht rental companies. We are based in Tonga and bring you only the offers from the tried and true vendors very well known to us, helping you organize your vacation in the best possible way. Additionally, Okeanna assists with finding and securing international flights to Tonga from any other country in the world.
The tour is paid for according to the bill issued by our company which shows the total cost of the tour including the flight and planned tour options. Accepted payment methods include bank-to-bank money transfers, PayPal, and major international credit cards.
The convenience of using a travel agency
When making use of a travel agency's services, you have all guarantees that the tour providers fulfill their obligations. Immediately after your bill is paid, the funds are transferred to the providers while you are handed the vouchers for all the providers' services listed in your tour and can use these services independently of the travel agency.
Also, once the company receives the payment, you as a customer are safe from the discounted cash flow risk.
Okeanna operates according to the terms and conditions of service of the tour providers it represents. We always advise our clients of all conditions, terms, and fees in their entirety, so each customer can make informed and responsible decisions.

I've been writing a few short stories lately. The biggest reason, if I'm totally honest, is that I'm stuck on several big projects. But it is these short stories that are renewing my energy for writing. Given a limit of 500, 1000 or 5000 words, every single one is crucial. Connecting a character, a setting and a plot within those constraints is challenging and fun!
Try it.
And when you need to take a writing break to read something inspiring, Hurricane Blues And Other Stories, is collection of short stories by Marcia Calhoun Forecki that are sure to please readers.
In the title story, "Hurricane Blues," meet a Louisiana blues piano player who protects her home-alone son by averting hurricanes with a whiskey shot glass and a mother's love.
In "The Reader," a dreamy bookworm stumbles into manhood.
In "Soul Most In Need," the friendship of two southern widows is the one truth at a tent revival.
"Nahualli" presents a sharp-tongued Mexican recluse and her shape-shifting lover. Meet a good-hearted deacon doing reconnaissance on a philandering preacher from a classic car in "T-Bird Recon."
A cruel medieval father, a frontier lawyer's silent child scrivener, and an aspiring teacher caught in the 1918 influenza epidemic also populate this eclectic collection of previously published and new short fiction.
All books by BQB and WriteLife Publishing are available from Amazon, B&N, or can be ordered from your favorite local bookstore.

When Hercule Poirot handles a case with his sidekick, Captain Hastings, you know you're in for an intricate chess game. Life is on the line when an egotistical American actress comes to Poirot, requesting his help in divorcing her British husband. Death, of course, is hovering nearby, and as the body count climbs, so does Poirot's frustration with the cunning murderer. Or is it murderers? The connections between the players are numerous and confusing. Hugh Fraser, who played Captain Hastings in the PBS screenplays, creates characterizations that beckon listeners into Dame Christie's fun house of drama and foul play.

Matthew 15:8
Dear Lord,
I lift my loved ones up to you in prayer.
I know that it is hard to get honest and transparent with you.
Getting real with you takes courage.
It is hard to face our sins before a holy God.
It is hard to repent and turn from our sins.
It is going to be a hard thing for my loved ones to do.
But I acknowledge to you that I know they desperately need to do it.
God help them.
Give them the thoughts they need to hear. Give them the emotions they need to feel.
Please God. I don't know what to pray, but I am willing to pray. Give me your words.
Turn my love for them into prayer action.
I will have the courage to face the truth about my loved ones and instead of running away from those thoughts, I WILL PRAY!
I will pray in Jesus' name!

Revelation chapters 2 and 3

Jesus feels about believers

GEORGE CRUMB: Black Angels
It's probably the only quartet to have been inspired by the war in Vietnam. The work draws from an arsenal of sounds including shouting, singing, whistling, whispering, gongs, maracas, and crystal glasses. The score contains two inscriptions: in tempore beautiful and finished Friday, March 13, 1970. " Black Angels was conceived as a kind of parable on our contemporary world. The numerous references in the work are therefore almost programmatic symbolic, even if the fundamental polarity - God against the Devil - implies more of a reality purely metaphysical. The image of the 'black angel was a conventional device used by the first painters to symbolize the fallen angel. The underlying structure of Black Angels is a huge arch, which is suspended by three songs called Threnody. The work depicts a journey of the soul. The three stages of this journey are Departure (fall from grace), Absence (spiritual-to the annientamen) and Return (redemption). The numerological symbolism of Black Angels, though not immediately perceptible to the ear, it is still quite faithfully reflected in the structure-the music. These magical relationships are variously expressed, for example, in terms of length, groupings of individual notes, duration, repetition models, etc.. An important element in the work - the figure descending MI, LA and RE # - also symbolizes the numbers 7-13 fatal. At some points in the score occurs a sort of ritual count in several languages, including German, French, Russian, Hungarian, Japanese and Swahili. There are several allusions to tonal music in Black Angels: a quotation from Schubert, the quartet Death and the Maiden (in Lachrymae Pavana and also vaguely recalled the last page of the job), an original Sarabande, which is stylistically synthetic, hue sustained by God-music (SI greater), and numerous references to the Latin sequence Dies Irae. The work is rich in symbolism as the conventional music Diabolus in Musica (tritone interval) and the Devil's Trill (from Tartini). The amplification of stringed instruments in Black Angels is intended to produce a highly surreal. This surrealism is accentuated by the use of some unusual effects on the strings, for example, the tones of the pedal (the sounds of the intensely obscene Devil-music), the rubbing of the wrong side of the strings (to produce an effect in viol consort), trills on the strings with the fingers covered with a thimble. The performers also play maracas, tam-tam and crystal goblets filled with water, the latter played with a bow to reproduce the effect glassarmonica in God-music.

U.S. moves on lawless zone south of Baghdad / Weapons report says Hussein's threat had declined by time of war
2004-10-06 04:00:00 PDT Musayyib, Iraq -- U.S. and Iraqi forces fanned out across a vast region south of Baghdad early Tuesday in what U.S. commanders described as a major operation to regain control of lawless areas where insurgents routinely use supply routes to transport violence into the capital.
Also Tuesday, the government's most definitive account of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs, to be released today, will show that Saddam Hussein posed a diminishing threat at the time the United States invaded and did not possess or have concrete plans to develop nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, U.S. officials said.
The officials said the 1,000-page report by Charles Duelfer, chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, concluded that Hussein had the desire but not the means to produce unconventional weapons that could threaten his neighbors or the West. President Bush has continued to assert in his campaign stump speech that Iraq had posed "a gathering threat."
In Iraq, military officers said more than 3,000 troops would target dozens of insurgents in raids extending west of the Euphrates River. Tuesday, U.S. troops took control of a bridge that insurgents use to move bombs, money and people into Baghdad, sowing the growing disorder there, U.S. military officials said.
Three U.S. Marines were wounded in an ambush near the marketplace in the city of Haswa just before the operation began. Another Marine and two Iraqi national guardsmen were injured by a car bombing Monday morning near the city of Latifiya, U.S. military officials said.
The military operation is part of a U.S. strategy to reclaim regions throughout Iraq that have fallen into the hands of insurgents. Last week, U.S. and Iraqi forces regained control over Samarra, north of Baghdad, in what U.S. officials described as a template for dealing with problem areas before planned nationwide elections in January. Fallujah, Ramadi and Baghdad's Sadr City are among the key areas still effectively controlled by the insurgency.
"Right now, time is not on their side," said Col. Ron Johnson, commander of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is conducting much of the operation here. "If we can get to the elections, they know we'll get the upper hand. The next three or four months are going to be the high-water mark" for military activity.
In scattered violence Tuesday, a car bomb exploded near a U.S. convoy in Ramadi, west of Baghdad, killing four Iraqis and wounding two, according to hospital officials. The U.S. military said in a statement that another car bomb in the northern city of Mosul killed three civilians and wounded four foreign troops. Meanwhile, five decapitated bodies, all believed to be Iraqis, have been found in northern towns, local officials said, and in Baghdad mortar fire killed one civilian and wounded another.
In the military operation unfolding south of Baghdad, U.S. commanders said they were seeking to gain some measure of control over an area encompassing roughly 600 square miles, stretching from southern Baghdad southwest to Karbala and south to Hilla. Although not as notorious as some other insurgent strongholds, the region is hostile and dangerous, U.S. Marines say.
Also Tuesday, in his first speech before the interim national assembly, Prime Minister Ayad Allawi gave a sobering account of the threat posed by the insurgency, saying the country's instability was a "source of worry for many people" and that the guerrillas represented "a challenge to our will."
Allawi, who has tried hard to cast himself as a tough and confident leader since taking office in late June, asserted that general elections would proceed in January as planned, but he acknowledged that there were significant obstacles standing in the way of security and reconstruction. The tone of the speech was a sharp departure from the more optimistic assessment Allawi gave to the American public on his visit to the United States last month.
In Washington, officials said Duelfer, an experienced former U.N. weapons inspector, found that the state of Hussein's weapons development programs and knowledge base was less in 2003, when the war began, than it was in 1998, when international inspectors left Iraq.
"They have not found anything yet," said one U.S. official who had been briefed on the report.
In another development, French officials were prepared to provide as many as 15,000 troops for an invasion of Iraq before relations soured between the Bush administration and the French government over the timing of an attack, according to a new book published in France this week.
The book, "Chirac Contre Bush: L'Autre Guerre" ("Chirac Versus Bush: The Other War"), reports that negotiations did not progress far before French President Jacques Chirac decided that the Americans were pushing too fast in order to short-circuit inspections by U.N. weapons inspectors.

Luton Business Improvement District's (BID) improved car parking scheme offers reduced town centre car parking tariffs for employees of businesses in the BID area.
Thanks to the ongoing partnership between The Mall Luton and Luton Town Football Club, Luton BID can now offer two options for town centre parking for those in the BID area, £50 a month or £500 for the year at the new Power Court car park, or a 50% discount off monthly parking fees in The Mall.
The car parking scheme is part of the BID's commitment to support and promote growth, development, investment and create a sense of business community.
Roy Greening, general manager of The Mall said: "The Mall Luton are delighted to be working with Luton BID to help reduce the costs associated to businesses when it comes to parking in the town centre for work.
"We hope that by offering a centrally located, Park Mark accredited, secure, undercover and cost effective option to the people working in the town we are helping to encourage talented people to come and work in the town to the benefit of all."
The BID's improved car parking scheme includes the new Power Court car park where a large section of land has been re-purposed for use as a public car park while Luton Town Football Club's application process for a new stadium continues.

Plastic Glitter Amnesty!
Send us your plastic glitter for 15% off your next order!
We love the fact that people are starting to switch to biodegradable glitter, it makes us happy to know that less plastic will end up in our rivers and oceans and of course by buying from us you're helping Eco Warriors campaign against single use plastic, such as Surfers Against Sewage.
BUT - we know, that a few years ago - eco-glitter wasn't such a big thing, we would sip on a cocktail in a plastic cup using a plastic straw with, heaven forbid, plastic glitter on our faces, in our hair and all over our bodies in an ignorant bliss!
Then we realised it was bad, really bad, for the environment and David Attenborough gave everyone a stern talking to and we saw the error of our ways!
So we know, because we did it ourselves, that all glitter lovers have bought the plastic stuff and most likely still have it somewhere guiltily stashed away! It's too pretty to throw away, and anyway, throwing it away would be detrimental to our cause. And you can't wear it, because then, well - it would get washed off into the sea and damn, we're back to square one!
So here's a few things to do with your old plastic glitter!
1. SEND IT TO US - we're starting a GLITTER AMNESTY
Anyone who sends us their plastic glitter will receive a 15% off voucher to use in our online store. We're working on a wonderfully sparkly project to demonstrate the evilness of plastic glitter and the heroes that are making the switch, which we will parade around at festivals and events. Rest assured it will be made with the upmost care to make sure that all the glitter is kept concealed so it can't fall off and onto the grass/floor.
If you are interested please send it to our Bristol office:
Unit 14
Easton Business Centre
Attach a note with your name and email address and we'll send you the discount code one we've received it. We'll keep you posted via our social channels on how the project is going.
2. Use it CAREFULLY in arts and crafts...
Glitter is great for all sorts, of course, looking fabulous but also in make some really cool decorative pieces. If you're using the plastic glitter and encasing it in glue it will last longer and will be less likely to be washed away or end up in landfill.
The best thing to encase it is resin but that's not always that easily available. See below for these wonderful mermaid charms by our friends at View Of the Sea, a Cornish company which use items from the coastline to make jewellery and other pretty things.
Alternatively, you could use clear nail polish or PVA glue, or a clear wood varnish. The main thing to remember it to make sure it's contained and won't drop off. That way, whatever you've made will stay sparkling for longer and you'll be able to appreciate it knowing that it's out of harms reach from hungry bugs, fish and birds which might see it as food if it was in nature.
We suggest decorating indoor plant pots, painting sea shells, making a glittery mask for a party or maybe even covering a box to make a pretty jewellery box.
We'd love to see some of your arts and crafts projects which use up your old plastic glitter - so send us photos to firstname.lastname@example.com or tag us on Instagram or Facebook @ecostardust
Another really cool way to use up plastic glitter is to make a sensory glitter bottle - kids and babies love them as they look truly magical and they're especially popular with autistic children because of the calming effect of the movement of the glitter.
Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to make them! ...coming soon! (in the mean time there are lots of good youtube videos out there)
Again, we'd love to see your creations, any that are utterly superb will be awarded with a 15% discount code to use in our online store!

This Louver system serves as a daylighting solution for deep plan building spaces such as offices, public buildings, and schools by creating a passive solution for diffusing direct light and managing glare. Architects and interior designers would benefit from this technology.
Primary tabs
Problem Addressed
This louvered daylighting system has many advantages over existing passive lighting technologies. Other existing louver systems require additional shading devices to reduce glare, are not very effective under cloudy conditions, and have many exposed moving parts that require maintenance. Glare is a common problem with most louvered systems because the incoming sunlight reflects off of each louver. As a result, most louvered daylighting systems use a separate shading system to block or redirect the light and reduce the glare risk for those facing the window. To avoid needing a shade, this daylighting system ensures that no light is redirected downwards (from the upper part of the window) i.e. towards occupant's eyes. In addition, a series of acrylic or glass rods is incorporated that scatter light and distribute it more broadly, which avoid collimated sunbeams to enter the room. Finally, the reflective ceiling is textured so as to reduce luminance and minimize glare risks from the ceiling itself.
This daylighting solution is a window louver system that provides low-glare passive daylighting to occupants of office buildings and other commercial deep-plan building spaces. The window louver system is enclosed within a separate window section that is mounted above the normal viewing window. This creates a simple, maintenance-free passive lighting system for daylighting in both sunny and cloudy conditions. This passive daylighting system consists of a series of horizontal reflective louvers and a row of vertical refractive rods that are encased between two panes of window glass. This louvered window is built into the upper-part (e.g. one-fourth) of a conventional window opening, still allowing occupants an unrestricted view out the lower window section. With this upper louvered window in place, daylight from all angles above the horizon is directed into the room - first upwards from the reflective louvers then spread horizontally after being refracted through the rods and is finally directed toward the ceiling where both direct and diffuse sunlight arrive at a strip of textured reflective panels. The panels help direct light to the back of the room while their texture contributes to reducing glare from the ceiling.
- No additional shade system is needed to control glare
- Depth of illumination and glare control is better than with an uncovered window
- Louvers and rods are sealed between glass panes, reducing risk of damage
- Having no exposed or moving parts reduces maintenance and cleaning expense
- With no moving parts, is less expensive to produce than active systems
- Produces less glare than other passive systems
- Outperforms four other passive daylighting systems in terms of amount of illumination, depth of illumination, and glare control

When first confronted with the word Aromatherapy, one can be forgiven for thinking that this form of healing is exclusive to the sense of smell, and therefore only works on the emotional level.
This is not the case as each oils combination of constituents has the ability to interact directly with the body's chemistry, which in turn affects certain organs or systems as a whole. When used in massage, the oils are absorbed into the blood stream through the skin and are transported throughout the body and become a very effective and powerful healing tool for the practitioner.
Course Syllabus

Dead for a Ducat
Carolus, with Lance and Phoebe Thomas, was the first to arrive, and found Lady Pipford wearing an oyster-coloured dress and a good many diamonds.
"I've just been out to the kitchen," she told Carolus. "What treasures your Sticks are! You must never lose them."
"Yes, Mrs. Stick is a good cook," admitted Carolus.
"Jason and his wife came into the room, Jason wearing a dinner-jacket as though it were a uniform and Felicity looking awkward in plum-colour. There had been, apparently, some slight misunderstanding with Lanie and her fiancé which Felicity seemed unable to forget.
"It isn't as though we asked them to drive us down," she was soon saying to Lady Pipford while Carolus at a nod from his hostess poured out the Amontillado. "I mean, they offered quite of the own accord. I said to Lanie when she asked me, on the telephone, "If you'd rather we went down by train we can just as well . . ."
"Don't worry about it," said her mother-in-law pacifically.
"Oh, I don't worry about it," said Felicity. "It's not worth worrying about. But it seems so extraordinary to make a remark like that when we only kept them waiting five minutes. 'Would you rather we hired a car?' I asked her, but she wouldn't hear of that. So I offered not to come at all. 'I shouldn't mind,' I said, 'going home in a taxi while you go to Mincott.' It really might have been better."
"Oh no, dear," said Lady Pipford.
"I do dislike being where I'm not wanted. It made the journey down so difficult. I offered to get out of the car and come on as best I could, but she said that wouldn't do."
Carolus, observing, saw Jason come across and whisper savagely to his wife, "Let it drop, can't you?" His expression was murderous, and though he had some of Carroll's sympathy for it, it was a revelation in the precise and chilly Jason."
"I don't want to go on talking about it," said Felicity. "I'd much rather forget all about it. But a thing like that comes as such a shock from one's sister-in-law. I said, 'Anyhow we can get back on our own tomorrow and shan't have to trouble you again.' I mean, no one likes to feel they're a trouble to people . . ."
She was interrupted by the entrance of Lanie with Roger Settle. They looked as though they were going to an expensive nightclub. Lanie introduced Roger Settle to Lance and Phoebe.
"Do you play golf?" asked Dr. Tom to break the silence.
"Not actuallah," said Roger Settle.
"That's a pity. We've got rather a good club here. You live in London, I suppose?"
"Very nice," said Phoebe. "I've always liked Knightsbridge."
"Rallah?" said Roger Settle.
"Have you any theory about these two deaths?"
"Definitelah. Sex maniac."
"Sex maniac?" repeated Phoebe incredulously.
"Certainlah. Quite common. Read about them."
"But really," began Phoebe. At that moment, however, she was interrupted by greetings from Mr. and Mrs. Gorringer, who had bid a ceremonious good evening to Lady Pipford and, knowing everyone present, were making a circuit of the guests.
"Did my ears deceive me?" asked Mr. Gorringer. "Or did I catch the word maniac? If so, we are treading on forbidden ground. No talk of murder tonight, but allégresse, gaieté de cœur !"
Beside him his wife gave expression to his words. She was a tall woman, and at forty-five would have been almost handsome if it were not for the watchful, over-alert expression on her face as she waited for a chance to be funny.
"No talk of murders?" she said now. "What a shame! I do like a nice cosy chat over bloodstains. A bit of gossip about gore."
The headmaster laughed heartily, and the two passed on.
Then Missed Crick entered. She wore . . . but could it be true? Carolus asked. She wore what could only be described as a costume for the first production of an Ibsen play. Out of it her brown and scrawny neck and muscular old arms protruded in a rather unfeminine way.
"I've left it in the hall," she was heard to say to Lady Pipford. "A bottle of my rose-hip syrup. What a gathering! Where's the Vicar?"
"He hasn't come yet, said Lady Pipford. "He and Mr. Boater are our only absentees. But it's early yet. Do make Carolus give you a glass of Sherry."
"Do you think I ought?" asked Miss Crick inevitably. She was soon sipping as she looked round for a victim. She wanted to talk.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fleece arrived. The Vicar looked as though he had to clamp his arm firmly to his side to prevent him slapping everyone on the back as he made his greetings. His wife followed him with fussy qualifications of his more outrageous sallies.
"My dear Lady Pipford! This is indeed a joy!" he cried at the pulled at the hand of his hostess. "Splendid to see you your good hospitable self again, after all our troubles. We're to forget them, eh? Let joy be unconfined, what?"
"He doesn't forget your Loss," said Mrs. Fleece.
The Vicar was passing on.
"Our Æsulapius!" he yelled to Dr. Tom. "Glad you can spare time from packing 'em and dosing 'em to come out to a simple village gathering. You kill 'em off and I'll bury them!"
"He really hates conducting funerals," confided Mrs. Fleece.
"The headmaster himself!" bellowed the Vicar, continuing his round. "And his good lady! We're all agog, you know. We rustics love scholarship and wit in our midst. We await the bon mots, Mrs. Gorringer. We expect to be enlightened, headmaster! We're country yokels here, remember."
"We still keep in touch," avowed Mrs. Fleece.
"Miss Crick! What a pleasure to meet where no parochial business claims our attention. Jason, my dear fellow, and Mrs. Jason. How well you both look! How is the sun and heir? Lanie! What a joy! And this is the Mr. Settle we've heard so much about. I trust I'm going to have the pleasure of pronouncing?"
"Selwyn dear, it's not official yet," warned Mrs. Fleece.
"And our Deene!" shouted the Vicar. "Still looking for clues, eh? Still using the microscope? What a game! What a game! Got your eye on all of us, I'll be bound. Suspects to a man! I can almost feel the gyves upon my wrists!"
"He doesn't mean a word of it," said Mrs. Fleece, almost apoplectic with worry.
Chuckling at his own jocularity, the Vicar subsided for the moment as he accepted a glass of Sherry.
Mrs. gorringer appeared to be restive. While Mr. Fleece had taken the floor she made no contribution to the general conversation, though her husband from close at hand was loyally ready to laugh. It began to look as though she would be reduced to waiting till dinner was nearly over and she could place her serviette corner-wise on her head, seize a knife to serve as sceptre, pucker her face and say "Queen Victoria!" to her admiring spectators, a little piece of mimicry which never failed in its effect.
However, rival humorists were stilled for a moment as, in an old and fraying dinner-jacket, his face scarlet but his stiff shirt scrupulously starched, Monty Boater entered. He swayed politely towards Lady Pipford, said good evening to her, and waved a general greeting to the room. He could not have been described as drunk except by a police doctor examining a motorist, but he was very, very happy.
"I remember a night like this in Mysore," he told Miss Crick.
"Yes?" Miss Crick encouraged him.
"Well, a night like this," said Mr. Boater, quickly deflated.
The conversation was now vigourous. Mrs. Gorringer was telling that story of her daily help with always sent everyone into fits, but the Vicar, remembering the last choir outing, achieved, by the sheer force of his lungs, a bigger audience.
"Mr. Gorringer called Carolus aside. He's great red ears looked like gross hybiscus blossoms over the shining white of his shirt-front.
"Ah, Deene," he said quickly. "You are quite easy in your mind, I make no doubt? You have no apprehensions for this evening? We may address ourselves to enjoyment without arrière pensée ?"
"Personally I can't feel easy about this till it has been entirely cleared up."
"No? Tut! Dear me! A pity. You have not, I take it, suspicions of anyone present?"
"You do not take my meaning? I ask, but not for my own sake, whether we should be wary? Whether one of our fellow guests may have been wholly or partially responsible for one of the two deaths?"
"I've done what I can to guard against any possible danger."
"Ah! Elusive, I note. Cautious. And who shall blame you? Your methods are of course your own. But forewarned is forearmed. In view of the presence here of my wife I felt . . . I ventured to enquire . . ."
"I simply can't answer you, headmaster. I have no notion as to what, if anything, may come about."
"No. No. I quite see. Ever cautious. Ah, I see our hostess is preparing to move. With what verve she does these things. I would give my ears for her gifts. I shall see you anon, my dear Deene."
The headmaster had been placed at his hostess's right hand, and beside him is sat Mrs. Fleece. Mr. Boater came next, then Lanie, Carolus and Phoebe Thomas with Jason at the lower end of the table. On Lady Pipford's left-hand was Dr. Tom, then Miss Crick, Roger Settle, Felicity Pipford, Mr. Fleece and Mrs. Gorringer.
Stick was soon heading round the Potageà Creme de Céleri, as Mr. Gorringer was quick to name it, and there was a lowering of conversational enthusiasm while this was attacked. But Mrs. Fleece was startled by Mr. Boater beside her saying loudly, "They used to make this dam' well in Helsinki."
"Really?" she whispered in agonised embarrassment.
"Dam' well," reiterated Mr. Boater loudly. "The Finns are no fools. I remember one night when a couple of girls were sitting with me in a cabaret . . ."
Mrs. Fleece looked as though she might jump up and, clapping her hands to her ears, run screaming from the room. No one else seemed to be talking at the moment, and although Mr. Baker spoke loudly, it was exclusively for her. Mr. Gorringer on her other side was talking heavily to Lady Pipford.
"I'm hoping to persuade the Board of Governors . . . I feel that no stone should be left unturned . . . The good name of the Queen's School, Newminster, depends . . ." he boomed.
There seemed to be no escape for Mrs. Fleece.
"These two floozies, continued Mr. Boater, spoke little English. You know 'we would like champagne', 'my friend knows a good hotel'. That sort of thing . . ."
Desperately Mrs. Fleece looked across at Dr. Tom, but he seemed interested in an account Miss Crick was giving him of how she raised bulbs indoors without using fibre. She looked towards Roger Settle, but he was now concentrating on his Sole Colbert in a most forbidding manner and she could not catch his eye. Her husband was too far away. Flustered, the lines making new contours in her face, she had no remedy but to listen.
"So when it was time to go I said to one of them, 'It's a nice night,' I said, though of course I had no idea what the weather was like outside. She didn't seem to understand but sat there smiling away . . ."
Mrs Fleece scarcely touched her sole. Then, just as Monty Boater's story seemed to be ending, she was alarmed to hear her husband's voice raised above those of his fellow guests.
"Never could stand at the fellow", he was saying. A flabby, deceitful type. I know they say de mortuis, and all that, but upon my word that fellow Montaccord deserved to be an exception. I don't want to sound uncharitable . . ."
If only she were near him to point out that her husband could not be uncharitable if he tried, but she was held fast by Mister Boater's revealing story."
"I guessed at once what she was up to," he was saying. "But fortunately I hadn't anything in my pocket-case worth mentioning. So I just waited without turning the light on. . . ." "
Oh dear, thought Mrs. Fleece. This is like Dante's Inferno. How shall I ever escape?
Stick was bringing round the tornedos, but, delicious though it looked, Mrs. Fleece had no appetite for hers. She nibbled and cut nervously while Mr. Boater's interminable tale went on.
Carolus congratulated himself, meanwhile, on being between Phoebe Thomas and Lanie Pipford. He could keep up an exchange of small talk and at the same time watch the Vicar between Felicity Pipford and Mrs. Gorringer, neither of whom seemed very pleased with the situation. Felicity made dark hints about not being welcome, while Mrs. Gorringer found herself stricken into silence by the Vicar's bonhomie. She had thought of quite a little witticism about the sole, but Jason Pipford did not promise much as an audience and she had petulantly kept it to herself.
Stick brought in the partridges. Lady Pipford tackled hers serenely, allowing Mr. Gorringer to talk as she did so.
"I feel I have a right to expect the support of the Board of Governors . . ." he was blooming. "Were it simply a matter of personal dignity, there would be no urgency. . . ."
Lady Pipford nodded cheerfully she cut away the other side of her partridge's breast and popped it in her busy mouth.
Felicity was talking to Roger Settle.
"I shall quite understand if you don't want to ask me to the wedding," she said. "I never like to be asked to something when I'm not really wanted. It isn't as though I am one of the family in more than name. . . ."
"Not?" said Roger Settle politely but shortly.
"I told my husband this evening I was quite willing to stay at home. He didn't need to feel he had to bring me."
"Suppose not," said Roger Settle absently as he dissected his package."
Mrs. Gorringer had emerged from her sulks to tell her little story about the waiter in the Ostend hotel which, recounted at her own dinner-table, had reduced the entire school staff to long and hearty laughter. Jason Pipford on the left was rather gloomily busy with his partridge, and the Vicar on her right clearly impatient to begin talking again, but Mrs. Gorringer went on steadily to her climax. When she finished, Mr. Fleece gave a hurried staccato laugh and at once recalled a seaside landlady who was given to crystal-gazing. Mrs. Gorringer accepted defeat, and like King Henry I (at least for the evening) never smiled again.
"Oh, but pickled nasturtium seeds are far better than capers!" Miss Crick could be heard saying to Dr. Tom, who nodded as he shovelled into his mouth a fork-load of game chips.
It really seemed to Mrs. Fleece that Monte Boater's story had finished at last, only just short of a hotel bedroom. She was feeling so relieved that she actually consumed a little of the partridge and sipped the Burgundy. She was just going to smile encouragement to her husband down the table when she heard that terrible voice beside her again.
"But mind you," Monty Boater was saying, now that he had wholly consumed his partridge, "but mind you, not all like that. I remember a girl in Trieste who actually pawned her bits and pieces to help me get home when I was stranded. Big, flashy type she was with the great swaying hips and a figure with too many curves in it, if you know what I mean. She came up to me in the street as a matter of fact . . ."
Mrs. Fleece's brief respite which had allowed her to eat a little partridge was clearly over. Like Gray's cat, "she mew'd to every watery God, Some speedy aid to send", but "nor cruel Tom nor Susan heard". She was almost paralysed with embarrassment and terror.
The chocolate soufflé appeared and was popular at least with Lady Pipford and Lanie. Then, with the coffee, Lady Pipford made the little announcement which had come to be expected of her.
"We're not going to withdraw," she said. "It's a silly old custom which I've no use for. We'll smoke with you." And she lit a cigarette.
Stick was bringing round a bottle, and Carolus recognized the very dark colour of his Spanish brandy. Lady Pipford did not help herself to it, but poured out of glass of Noyau from a bottle beside her.
"Ah yes," said Mr. Gorringer. "I remember now. You indulge in a sweet liqueur. One taste, I fear me, I can never share with you."
"Love it," said Lady Pipford loudly, as she raised her glass. "Buy it by the dozen bottles." Her words were audible down the table. "No one else likes it, so I've given up trying to offer it."
Then things happened with appalling rapidity.
Carolus was on his feet, upsetting his chair behind him.
"Don't drink that, Margaret!" he shouted.
But it was too late. Lady Pipford had swallowed her liqueur at a gulp, given an almost simultaneous gasp and crumpled. Her head lay on the table in front of her and one hand splayed out beside it.
Dr. Tom was bending over her in a moment.
"She's quite dead," he said at once. "Cyanide of potassium. You can smell it."
There was a scream from Mrs. Fleece, then for about ten seconds a very terrible silence. Lanie Montaccord rushed to the little figure of the dead woman crying, "Mother! Mother!" and Jason followed her silently. For what seemed a very long time no one else moved or spoke.

Rebel with a Cause/
Dress by Forever 21 Plus
While on vacation in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, I got a Tarot card reading. I agreed with the readers' insights (I had two, because my life is complicated and both felt compelled to interpret my cards) until one went off script and gave me fashion advice.
"I think you are a very beautiful girl, but you shouldn't wear a dress with a busy print, it makes you look bigger." Normally, I would let this slide, but three minutes prior she told to "be more assertive," "believe in myself," and "not be a door mat." It was only right I put her advice to the test. I looked her in the eye and said "I appreciate the advice, but I wear what I like. Not what 'people' think is acceptable." She respected that. I continued, "I'm big and everybody out here knows it. There's nothing wrong with appearing bigger. My fashion motto is 'just do it'."
How's that for being assertive and being not being a doormat?
I walked away proud of my busy dress, because it goes against society. I decided to wear it in spite of the "big girl fashion rules." I felt like a rebel.
I enjoyed my Tarot readings, so I'm not bashing the reader. On your journey to self-discovery and self-love, you'll come up against society's ideas about how you dress and look. Everyone won't love the bolder, more empowered you, but don't let their doubts derail you. As long as you are not killing or hurting yourself, you right girl!!!
Until next time, wear whatever makes you feel good.

The school year is fast approaching. While back-to-school retailers are rejoicing, the rest of us are grumbling and gathering our lunchboxes and school supplies. If this is your first year sending your little one off to school, or you'd just like to be more hands on about it this year, you've come to the right place. Here are six simple steps to set your child up for success this school year.
Provide them with the supplies they'll need.
This one's a no-brainer. Without pencils, pens, paper, highlighters, etc, your child won't be able to contribute in the classroom and will most likely be punished for being unprepared. Take the kids along when you grab supplies: letting them pick out some items they like for themselves can make them more excited to use them and in turn, less anxious about the upcoming school year.
Provide healthy meals.
If you're familiar with your school district's meals and take no issue, you can ignore this one. Many public and private schools provide children with plenty of choices, many of which include healthy options. But, if you'd like to make sure that your child is eating right, you can send him to school with a lunchbox full of his favorite healthy meals and snacks.
Ensure your children receive plenty of rest.
They probably won't thank you for this at the time, but it's a good practice to set a bed-time for your children that they follow regularly. Without enough sleep, your child's academic performance and overall mood will suffer. Adults can make it by with 6 to 7.5 hours of sleep, but studies have shown that children and adolescents perform best after sleeping 9.25 hours.
Make sure your child has access to technology.
There's no reason to buy your kindergartener an iPad, but it doesn't hurt to make sure that children have an adequate amount of exposure to technology. Virtual classrooms (web-based learning environments students use through portal access or with certain software) are commonly components of or replacements for traditional classrooms. And professional life pretty much requires individuals to be able to use a computer and smartphone. It will benefit your child in the long run if you can expose them to these common devices and make sure they're comfortable using them.
Just also be sure to limit that access.
All that being said, too much technology can actually hurt their development, not help it. This means you'll need to be involved in your children's use of technology. Setting time limits or putting parental controls on the device can be effective. However, you can also just be present and aware of what your child is doing on this technology and for how long. No need to be overly snoopy. Just ensure they aren't spending too much time glued to a screen or doing unsavory things online.
Don't overburden your child.
Extra curricular activities aren't inherently a bad thing. But, if your child is too overburdened to actually spend time being a child - playing, relaxing, spending time with friends - it's time to let some after-school obligations go. Without enough time to relax and reflect on the day, a child can easily get overwhelmed. There's not a magic number of extra-curricular activities, but if your child doesn't have time to finish homework, spend time with friends, and just be a child then you need to cut back, even if he's only doing one extracurricular.

Hello everyone, my name is Katie. Welcome to my blog!
First let me tell you a little about myself. I am third year student studying Management with Marketing. After I left Academy I went on to study a HND in Advertising and PR at North East Scotland College.
I had opted for the Degree link route that lets you study two years at college and another 2-3 years at university. For me this has been a great option, a way for me to discover what I am good at and really enjoy doing.
So far I have been with RGU for one year and have really enjoyed it. I have friends that I met in College that moved with me to RGU but that didn't stop me from meeting lots of new people on the course.
Unlike some of the students at RGU I haven't travelled far. I live within Aberdeenshire and have been very lucky to have RGU within my region.
RGU has been so helpful with finding placements for students and giving alternative options to those who choose a different route. I have been successful in obtaining a year long placement within RGU. I am working with the marketing team at RGU and I love it so far and look forward to what lies ahead. Make sure you keep up with my blog posts on how I found my placement.
I hope to share my experiences with you guys and possibly help you get a better idea as to what goes on at RGU and how the experience has been for myself and other students here at the university.

The BeautiControl skin care and cosmetics line carries a wide array of products, and if you have never used this brand in the past, reading BeautiControl reviews and discovering the company's approach to skin care, the ingredients they use, and how long this skin care company has been in business may help you decide if the brand is right for you. This company (which allows their customers to become consultants and third-party distributors for their products), has been in business for more than thirty years. However, though it can be very helpful to work directly with a consultant, reading unbiased BeautiControl reviews written by dermatologists or other skin care experts may help you make a better purchasing decision, which is important if you have a limited skin care budget.
Many of the products featured in the company's skin care collection feature items that fight the signs of aging, such as fine lines, age spots, and sun damage. If you're adding anti-aging products to your skin care kit for the first time, take the time to speak with a skin care professional, and read BeautiControl reviews to gauge whether it's the right brand of skin care and cosmetics for you.
BeautiControl Company History
BeautiControl was founded over three decades ago and is currently owned by Tupperware Brands, the company famous for selling plastic containers and housewares. Much like other companies that carry both skin care collections and cosmetics, BeautiControl distributes its products through customers who like the products enough to become consultants who sell to friends and family. According to a few BeautiControl reviews, this is an advantage to those who buy the products because not only do they have a direct line to someone who represents the company.
By working directly with a company representative, potential customers get the chance to sample some of the products before making a purchase, which saves time and money. The products are also available via the company's website for those who do not want to buy them through a consultant.
BeautiControl Reviews: Products
Some BeautiControl reviews written by skin care professionals claim that the company's cleansers and moisturizers are among their most effective items. Others focus on the collection of men's products, which contains a variety of ingredients that may be problematic for the skin, such as; alcohol, which can dry out the skin, and parfum (fragrance), which can cause itching and flakiness.
However, other reviews note that some ingredients contained in their anti-aging line may be beneficial. These include retinol, which is an effective cell communicator and helps the skin shed dead and dying cells more efficiently, and vitamin C, which destroys free radicals and prevents premature aging.
It's important to note that although some of these ingredients may help improve the appearance of the skin, some BeautiControl reviews report that several of the products, such as those from the company's facial combination collection, made their skin itchy. This reaction may be due to either sensitivity or allergic reaction. If you have ever suffered from such a reaction in the past, you may want to consult your dermatologist before trying the company's products.
BeautiControl Reviews: Company Policies
Some BeautiControl reviews from consumers claim that their consultants were reluctant to offer refunds or exchanges on any products and told them it was the company's policy. While it is true that BeautiControl does not offer refunds or exchanges on its foundation, concealer, or other color products; skin care and bath and body items may be exchanged within thirty days of the invoice date. If you are uncertain about any company information contained in BeautiControl reviews, you may contact the manufacturer directly with any additional questions.
