Avon SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil Spray 5oz NOT dry oil mist!
Average Price: $6.00
I have been using this product from the get go. Its a great product if you have a tendancy of getting drying skin. Although it may feel a little oily when first applied, the skin aborbs it quickly with no oily residue. A definit plus is applying after shaving your legs. Minimizes irritability, and does give your legs a great sheen especially in the summer when we tend to wear shorts ands skirts. This product is a must bu
Don't know why this works as a bug repellent but it does! No more mosquito bites. I love the fact that it doesn't contain DEET so its safe for kids. I even spray it around my son's stroller and it works! Oh and don't forget it keeps your skin nice and soft.
I've been using this since I was a kid- great for after a bath in the winter to keep skin soft. In summer we would spray it on to keep mosquito's away. Don't know why it works for that, but it does!
I've had many people buy and use this as bug repellant! and it works! Even people travelling overseas.
My daughter took some to summer camp and all the girls used it because it smelled better and worked better than the toxic sprays they had.
love this product. Usually just soak in it. Until my friend told me about the many other uses!
Yesterday I added a capful to a pail of hot water and dipped a rag into water. Dusted my whole house down with it. Then washed the floors with water. My house shines and smells amazing! I was worried about it being greasy but not at all.
My 16 yr old daughter even commented how great her room smells.
PLan to fllow along the list of uses and try SSS on my screens to keep bugs out and on garned plants for "natural" bug killer
there are so many uses for this oil. I very seldom use it for bathing. It works great for cleaning the bugs off your car.
Great to spray on just out of the shower! Has a nice light scent and not a heavy oil on the skin, but just right. Great product, great price!

There are dozens of miles of woods at your back, and 30-pounds on it — a backpack filled with what you definitely need (food, tent, sleeping bag), and some of what you probably don't (a paperback, that third pair of socks.)
You've faithfully followed the Appalachian Trail blazes — the white, two-by-six-inch rectangular marks painted at eye level every few yards on trees — to the top of Massachusetts' highest mountain, through dense woods and across flowing brooks and streams.
Now, with mud caked on your boots and sweat pooling on your forehead, it's time to cross the street.
Just as soon as the trucks let you, that is.
Your eyes dart across Route 8 in Dalton, searching for those white blazes to draw you past houses, athletic fields and traffic before leading you back to the woods, where you thought a hiker belonged.
There's one — on a telephone pole. Then another — on the back of a stop sign.
You've been walking the Appalachian Trail through the Berkshires for almost three days, and the trail mix and energy bars that have kept you rolling along have already lost their appeal.
So you follow the white blazes right to K's Pub and Family Restaurant on Depot Street, where hot meals and beers from the Berkshire Brewing Co. have long beckoned hikers along the trail.
"This place is packed during the summer," said bartender Mike Demary, who lives in nearby Peru and takes to the Appalachian Trail for day hikes with his son and the Boy Scouts he supervises. "They like the Berkshire brew. It's heavy and they think it has a lot of protein so it will keep them going. We went through a lot of it this summer."
Such is the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts, a scant 90-mile stretch of the 2,160-mile footpath that connects Georgia to Maine. While the trail passes along the 3,491-foot summit of Mount Greylock, where sweeping views of western Massachusetts, eastern New York and southern Vermont blend into a green, hilly horizon now flecked with fall foliage, it also crosses through small towns and across busy roadways, making it as easily accessible to day-hikers as it is for longer-hauling backpackers.
"I'm always intrigued by people who try to hike the entire Appalachian Trail," said Nancy Bracken, who was recently scouting out a section of the trail in Washington where she could spend just a few hours exploring. "I've had it in my mind that I'd like to walk the entire Massachusetts part, but I just don't have time for it."
So the 53-year-old violinist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra has tackled sections of the trail during what free time she has between summertime concerts at Tanglewood.
"I've been doing tiny little pieces for about 25 years," she said.
That idea of an escape into nature was the very idea of the trail's first planner. In his 1921 essay, "An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning," Benton Mackaye, who lived in Shirley, outlines his reasoning for developing the footpath. People living in a postwar, industrial-focused society grappling with rising unemployment needed to refocus their attention on leisure time, he said.
An Appalachian Trail, he envisioned, could also serve as grounds for collective farms, nature retreats and learning centers — things that never fully developed.
"(L)iving has been considerably complicated of late in various ways — by war, by questions of personal liberty, and by 'menaces' of one kind or another," he wrote.
MacKaye's original idea was to have a ridgetop trail. But to get from one ridge to another, the trail needed to dip into valleys where the towns are, explains Brian King, a spokesman for the Appalachian Trail Conference based in Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
"It's become a culture of long-distance hiking to spend a day in town," King said. "From Massachusetts down through Virginia, there's a typical pattern of going for long stretches and then hitting a town. Hikers love it."
As easy as it is to find a place to jump on the trail, you can go for hours and miles without laying eyes on another person. If you're lucky enough to get to a spot like Finerty Pond in the October Mountain State Forest to yourself, the only thing that could startle you are the thumping wings of a flock of grouse beating the air like a helicopter's rotor blades.
"The lure of the trail is to get away from it all," said Steve Wilson, a 44-year-old minister from Lancaster. "It's a very spiritual experience."
Wilson spent the last few weeks of September hiking the Appalachian Trail from Connecticut up to Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts. Much of the trip was spent in seclusion, he said, walking through what seemed like a constant tunnel of trees that surrounded him in silence.
Then he hit Dalton, and left the trail for a cheeseburger.
"I sat in the restaurant and all I heard was the din of people," he said. "It was sending shivers up and down my spine after hearing nothing but crickets for days."
His last night on the trail was spent at Bascom Lodge, the stone and wood waystation built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s that seems like a luxurious hotel compared to the basic wooden lean-tos that offer shelter to hikers along the trail.
After his long hike up the mountain, there was a shower waiting for him and a family-style meal of soup, salad, chicken parmigiana, and spaghetti shared with one other backpacker and about a dozen others who drove up Greylock's auto road just for a night's getaway.
Soon after dinner, the Girl Scouts showed up. A troop of eight 11-year-old girls from Bronxville, N.Y., accompanied by two adults.
"They're working for their outdoorsmanship badge," explained Susan Cody, one of the chaperones.
Here, in the sheltered comfort of home-cooked meals, flush toilets and bunk beds at Bascom?
"No, this doesn't really feel like the wilderness," Cody confessed. "Usually we're pitching tents and cooking outside, but we didn't have to do it on this trip."
But you don't want to discount the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts as "easy." Although the terrain itself is almost perfectly flat for long stretches, unlike the more challenging topography of northern New England, the rolling Berkshire hills still give your body a workout. And in cold, rainy weather, you have only the gear on your back and your wits to protect you at times.
As much as the trail is a place of quick escape, it is also a proving ground. A place to test yourself physically and mentally.
It's also a place to figure out where your life has been and where you want it to go. Even if your wandering days are supposed to be behind you.
Take Robert Martel and David Ryder, for example.
The two men never met before their paths crossed at the October Mountain Lean-to on Oct. 4.
"I need to get into the woods, but I don't want to go far away from home in case I'm needed back there," said Martel, a 52-year-old property manager from Brookline. Like most modern-day hikers, he brings a cell phone with him. And it gets reception at just about every point along the trail in Massachusetts.
For the past 10 years, he's been hiking the same stretch of the AT at the same time of year.
"It still beats me up, every time I do it," he said. "It's the same test every year on the same person. It gives me a sense of my abilities and my aging. And it also gets me away from work."
For Ryder, who is 59 and recently retired from his administrative job with the New York Board of Education, the trail has become something of a tourist attraction.
Since his son introduced him to backpacking about seven years ago, Ryder has been working toward his goal of hiking about 30 miles of the Appalachian Trail in each of the 14 states it passes through. He now has 10 left on his list.
"I couldn't imagine doing this from one end to the other," said Ryder, who has a home in Albion, N.Y., but spent considerable time on his trek through Massachusetts thinking about where he wants to live now that he's retired.
"I don't want to be in the woods for five or six months," he said. "A couple of days here and there is just enough to help you think things through and enjoy yourself."
But sooner or later, every journey comes to an end. And whether it's been a few hours or a few months, there is the need to make the transition from the wilderness — no matter how wild it really was — back to everyday routine.
In a journal at Bascom Lodge, a thru-hiker making the entire walk from Georgia to Maine wrote about how he was looking forward to getting home, especially for his mother's lasagna.
"Then again," wrote the hiker, who dubbed himself "Leki-Less" on Sept. 26, "I know that after a few days I'll have to accept reality and get a job. And pay bills. And take care of responsibilities. And then, like many other thru-hikers before me, I'll probably think of how much better it would be to go back to hiking."

How do we get more first home buyers into the market?
- Valerie Preston
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 How do we get more first home buyers into the market? It s a question that has stumped successive governments and brought out many opinions, theories and remedies by commentators. But while policy makers and industry groups have been consulting on the best approach to help, the younger generation has been working behind the scenes to find innovative new ways of ensuring that they can secure their piece of the Australian dream. Young property hunters in today s market have changed their buying habits to overcome issues faced in our evolving property markets. And they have adapted the way they buy, use and invest in property to suit the way they want to live and/or to suit their budget and investment strategy.
2 2 New and innovative buying habits have seen first home buyers fly under the radar. First home buyer activity has been under-reported Underlying this debate is the fact there is no reliable data that quantifies what proportion of the market is made up of first home buyers. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) finance commitment data was once seen as the most reliable data source. However, the ABS recently admitted that its figures underestimate the number of first home buyers in the market because, in most cases, lending institutions only record a borrower as a first home buyer if they are using a government incentive. These grants predominately require buyers to be an owner-occupier, meaning that first time buyers purchasing for investment purposes have been excluded from this data set. The National Australia Bank (NAB) residential property survey also provides a guide of activity levels this survey found the first home buyers market share was around 25% of new developments (17% owner-occupation and 8% for investment). In the established property market, first home buyers also accounted for 25% of purchases (16% for owner occupation and 9% for investment). By looking at these two data sets we can estimate that first home buyers account for somewhere between 15% and 25% of property transactions. Higher than what s reported, although below the 31% recorded by the ABS in 2009 when the federal government introduced the First Home Owners Boost. % of all dwellings financed First home buyer % of all dwellings financed 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% Long term average First home buyer Average loan size $400, $350,000 $300,000 $250,000 $200,000 $150,000 $366,700 $344,900 $294,300 $276,200 $344,900 $232,300 $348,700 $330,200 0% $100,000 Source: ABS $50,000 $0 $103,400 $84,900 $89,700 $71,500 $80,100 $63,900 $91,800 $94,400 NSW VIC QLD SA WA TAS NT ACT Source: ABS
3 3 A number of factors have influenced property hunters under the age of 30 to explore non-traditional ways of buying property. These include affordability, lifestyle, location, income and employment. Demographic characteristics Research by realestate.com.au has found that the proportion of property hunters under 30 steadily increased over the last four years from 17% in 2010 to 29% in This same report also found around 40% of buyers aged between 18 and 30 had a household income of more than $100,000 per year. The household composition of this buyer group is also important as it predominantly dictates their main property of choice; the largest group is single person making up just over 40%, followed by couple with no children and then families with children. Factors affecting buying decisions Affordability The biggest driver changing buying habits of those under 30 and first home buyers has been the rising cost of property over the past few years, especially in Sydney. This has driven the national average loan size for a first time buyer up to $326,000 as of March 2015; a growth of 14% over the past 5 years and 58% since Buyers have resorted to a mix of financing options and more affordable locations/property types in order to get into the market. One area which has held back young buyers entering the market has been the time it takes to save up for a deposit, especially when factoring in recent price growth. This has seen a rise in the number of buyers looking at alternative ways to access a deposit such as personal loans, credit cards or borrowing from parents. % of Homeowners 40% Mortgagors FHBs Prospective FHBs First Time Investors 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Biggest barriers to buying a first home Property prices Interest The difficult Difficulty of Uncertain Finding too high rates saving making about suitable property for a deposit mortgage future in desired repayments employment location Lifestyle choices Declining affordability has seen young buyers weigh up their lifestyle choices. Some delay the purchase of a property until later on preferring to have the means to travel. Others have changed their buying requirements and looked to keep their lifestyle by buying a smaller, cheaper property or a property in a cheaper location than they would have normally chosen. Young buyers have also looked to try to fund their current lifestyle by becoming investors, searching for positively geared properties to boost their regular income. Location Many location factors are important to those under 30 or first time buyers. Social amenities such as nightclubs, cafes, pubs and entertainment are particularly important; inner city locations are the first choice but are also the least affordable. Access to public transport is also therefore a major driver of choice. For some first home buyers family is the factor which determines the location. For instance, young families prefer a townhouse or house close to their wider family. Single income buyers, however, may not determine this to be a factor and instead buy close to where they currently rent or an investment property in another city. Income and employment Rising levels of youth unemployment and low levels of wage growth since 2009 have not matched recent strong property price growth seen in capital cities. This has inhibited even those with secure employment from wanting to purchase their first property due to job security concerns and an inability to save for a deposit as fast as property prices have risen.

4 4 Aged Location sought Outside the city/region you live in, but still in your state 18% Outside the suburb/town you live in, but still in the same city/ region 45% Outside your state 6% Close to the suburb/town you live in (within 5 to 10kms) 59% The suburb/town you live in 46% Buying intentions Younger buyers encompass a broad range of buying intentions and search for a wide variety of property types in various locations. By looking at their intentions we can also see that there has been a shift in the reasons why they are looking to purchase a property. Many first home buyers and those under 30 are looking for property that will play a big part in their long-term investment portfolio rather than just a place to live. The latest consumer research from Realestate.com.au shows that 23% of those under 30 searching for property were investors 2. In addition, 16% of first time home buyers are looking to buy an investment 3, and 50% of renters who don t currently own an investment would consider becoming an investor in the future. 2 The Media & Purchase Intentions Study from Realestate.com.au also found that buyers under 30 have a preference for purchasing property within 5 to 10 kilometres of where they live. But they re also quite mobile with 45% indicating they would buy outside their suburb and 6% even willing to buy outside their home state. Source: Realestate.com.au As with the majority of real estate buyers across Australia most under 30s are looking to purchase a stand-alone established house. While this is the first choice for all buyer types, the preferences then divides depending on whether they are buying the property as an owner-occupier or an investor. For owner-occupiers, space is the key factor determining property choice with the newly built house/townhouse coming in second, and house and land package coming in third. On the other hand, for those first home buyers looking for an investment property an established apartment is a preferred second choice over a newly built house/townhouse, followed by a newly built/off-the-plan apartment. First Home Buyers - Type of property sought 80% 70% Owner occupier Investor 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Established house/ townhouse New house/ townhouse Established apartment House & land package New apartment Block of land Rural property Undecided Source: Residential consumer satisfaction study (realestate.com.au) 2 Residential Consumer Property Seeker Report 2014 (Realestate.com.au) 3 Housing Affordability & Sentiment Index Study, May 2014 (Realestate.com.au)
5 5 1. rentvester 2. Team up 3. Mr & Mrs fix it 4. Build it up 5. Buy now pay later 6. Thanks mum & dad New buying trends emerge The various economic, social and demographic shifts has resulted in a number of non-traditional buying trends emerging for those under 30. Trend 1. rentvester The most common new buying habit, first identified in LJ Hooker s The (new) Australian Dream white paper, is that of the rentvester. This buyer is currently renting and loves their lifestyle and doesn t want to relocate from the area where they are presently living. The problem is that they can t afford to buy in this area. Rather than disrupt their current lifestyle these buyers purchase a property in a more affordable part of the city or country, and rent that property out while they remain as tenants in their current location. Name: Ricky Briggs Property location: Cooranbong, Lake Macquarie, NSW Background: Ricky is a new breed of an investor, he rents in Sydney but owns a property just south of Newcastle in the Lake Macquarie area. The 24-year-old, first home buyer and young professional saw an opportunity to get a foot on the property ladder by purchasing a 650sqm block of land in a new estate at Cooranbong. However not wanting to give up the convenience of the city he remains a renter in Sydney s Inner West. Ricky plans to build a duplex on his estate and rent each property out. Trend 2. Team up Younger buyers have looked to overcome the affordability challenge by splitting and sharing the cost involved in purchasing a property. They have done this by teaming up with a family member, friend or business partner in order to buy a larger property to co-inhabit or as an investment. The major decision here is how to structure the ownership arrangement. The two most common are as tenants in common or joint tenancy. Under joint tenancy both people own the property equally. In addition, if one of them dies, the other one automatically gets the deceased owner s share of the property. A tenancy in common is most suitable when the buyers are friends, business associates or relatives and each of them has contributed money to buy the property. Tenants in common can own the property equally or in some other share, usually reflecting how much money each one contributed. 4 4 State of New South Wales through NSW Land and Property Information.
6 6 Trend 3. Mr & Mrs fix it Young families have looked to get into a larger house in their preferred area by purchasing an older smaller home which usually sits at the bottom of the price scale for the area. Generally, these properties are in need of major renovation; however, they allow buyers to add rooms and levels as their families grow. Name: Courtney Leggatt and Michael Jones Property location: Seven Hills, North western Sydney, NSW Background: When Michael and Courtney started looking to purchase their first home they knew getting into the overheated Sydney market would be hard, their plan instead was to buy an affordable home they could renovate. After an exhaustive search they purchased a property at Seven Hills in Sydney s West, they were drawn to the area by its proximity to all major roads and the ongoing development in the Parramatta CBD. They are now planning major renovations, including moving the kitchen and extending the back of the house. As Michael works as a builder the young couple will be doing a lot of the renovation themselves. Trend 4. Build it up Another more affordable way for young families to get into a new house is for young buyers to move out of their local area and into a newly built suburb. This has seen demand for house and land packages in new estates rise considerably over the past few years. For those not willing to compromise on location, purchasing a vacant lot and building from the ground up has also been a way to remain within their preferred area. Name: Liana Tagliaferri and Daniel Petrillo Property location: Beaconsfield, Southern Perth, WA Background: Liana and Daniel extensively researched property, but found most existing homes in their price range didn t suit. Building in a land estate outside of Perth didn t suit their lifestyle, as they wanted to be close to friends and family in Fremantle. They found a vacant block of land in neighbouring Beaconsfield, which they purchased, with a view to building over time. Because of the narrow configuration of their block, they needed to find a builder which could produce a two storey design within a First Home Buyers budget.
7 8 Trend 5. Buy now pay later: Purchasing off the plan for extended settlement Capital city markets have seen strong growth in the number of new developments being approved; this rise has been in line with an increased popularity of apartment living. Purchasing off the plan allows a buyer to put down a deposit now and not have to deal with the mortgage repayments until construction is complete. This has been popular with the under 30s as it allows them to keep saving or maintain their lifestyle in the short term until they move into their new property. This has also been popular for the younger generation of investors who want to lock in today s price and capture the capital growth over the construction period. Trend 6. Thanks Mum & Dad: Using parents equity Parents have ridden the property cycle over the past few decades providing many with a hefty equity uplift or outright ownership of their homes. This has in turn allowed them to use their financial position to go guarantor on their children s mortgage or stump up some cash to help out with the deposit. Recent research by the NAB shows that first home buyers are increasingly turning to their parents for help in order to get into the property market. They found that 6.7% of first home buyers now use the NAB Family Guarantee; up from 4.8% per cent in While some have called these buyers KIPPERS (Kids In Parents Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings) for the majority of first home buyers this is the quickest, most secure and best long-term financial solution to get a foot on the property ladder. Looking forward As markets move through the various stages in the property cycle they will inevitably throw up new opportunities and present different challenges for existing and first time buyers. Access to more comprehensive property market information combined with innovative financing arrangements will ensure that younger buyers continue to adapt their buying habits to overcome issues faced in our ever evolving property markets.

A jury in Washington has convicted Salvadoran immigrant Ingmar Guandique of first-degree murder in the killing of Capitol Hill intern Chandra Levy.
The jury returned the guilty verdict for Guandique on the fourth day of deliberations.
Prosecutors had argued that Levy's death fit a pattern of attacks by Guandique in 2001 in Washington's Rock Creek Park, where her remains were found.
Levy disappeared in 2001. Her case drew attention when she was romantically linked to then-Congressman Gary Condit. The California Democrat was questioned in the case.
Defense lawyers argued that Guandique became a scapegoat for a botched investigation and that the evidence against him was largely circumstantial.
(Posted by Doug Stanglin)
Updated at 1:26 p.m. ET
Susan Levy, Chandra Levy's mother, held a press conference immediately after the announcement of the verdict and said that while some well-meaning people have suggested there might now be closure for her family, that would not be the case.
"The verdict may be guilty," she said, but added, "I have a lifetime sentence of a lost limb missing from our family tree."
She said, "It's a lifetime of a broken heart."
Levy called on the public to learn from her daughters cause, and "stop the violence and make a difference."
She also asked the media to give her family space and time to absorb the day's developments. The family needs to "find out a new normal because this is very difficult for us," she said.
(Posted by Melanie Eversley)
Updated at 2:45 p.m ET
USA TODAY's Oren Dorell reports that the mother of former congressman Gary Condit of California, whose career was derailed after he became a suspect in the case, welcomed the verdict but said it won't erase almost 10 years of hurt for her family.
"I'm happy they have convicted the man that did this," Jean Condit of Ceres, Calif., says. "It doesn't take back all the hurt our family has had, nor the Levys'. After 10 years there's no way you can take that back."
Jean Condit says the investigation and the media's treatment of her son "hurt us all very much."
She blames the police for failing by not solving the case "years ago," and says she hopes the verdict "would be good for the Levy family to find out what happened to their daughter."

Ferry across to Victoria, where you'll visit Butchart Gardens, with its 55 acres of stunning floral displays—another special experience offered by Globus. Back in Vancouver, board your 7-night Alaska cruise to visit Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. Marvel at the scenery as you cruise the gorgeous Inside Passage, Glacier Bay National Park, and Tracy Arm.

. This narrow, 42-kilometre-long (26-mile-long) fjord is another of Alaska's most dramatic glacier settings. The lush rainforest recedes to reveal a stunning canyon of bare rock. The panorama of 2,134-metre (7,000-foot) mountain peaks and nearly vertical rock cliffs is astounding. Waterfalls appear at every turn. Icebergs make their way to the sea in all sorts of wondrous shapes. And tucked away at the end of this remarkable waterway are two very active reminders of the Ice Age-the twin Sawyer Glaciers, which calve icebergs into the jade-coloured inland sea. Kittiwakes, mountain goats, and seals are a common sight. Whales and bears may even make an appearance in this magical place. Visit one of the most remote capital cities-Juneau. Accessible only by air and water, Juneau is located at the base of two towering mountains in the heart of Alaska's Inside Passage, and is home to a rich Gold Rush history, Native culture, wildlife, and a wealth of natural wonders. Shop for gold nuggets, visit the stately Governor's Mansion, saunter through the swinging doors of the historic Red Dog Saloon, or visit mighty Mendenhall Glacier, an impressive river of ice that is 19 kilometres (12 miles) long and 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles) wide.

Once a major port for gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon, today you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon Route narrow-gauge railway up past Deadhorse Gulch to see what it was like ages ago.

This Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site protects a unique ecosystem in an ever-changing glacial landscape.

National Park rangers accompany the ship, adding expert commentary to the day's events. (B,L,D)
