Chicks with Ink
Next in the list of wonderful people to take my blog for a spin is the, quite frankly, uber-talented Angela Addams. It's all yours, Angie.
I started getting tattooed when I was 19. In fact, my very first tattoo was so painful (the artist admitted to me later that he was intentionally more heavy handed than he needed to be…asshole) that I vowed never to get another one again. As you can see from my pic, that was a vow I broke….big time. I think that my current count is somewhere around 14 or so…but I don't sit around and count my tattoos very often so I can't say for sure. We're not talking little butterflies either…the artist that I went to for years always had a saying whenever I came in with a new idea, "BIGGER" he'd say… "BIGGER, ANGIE!!!" and so we always went bigger.
For a long time I would always make sure to get ink that I could cover, primarily because I was very concerned about judgment within my profession. So yes, that meant if I was going anywhere where I could possibly run into someone from work I would wear jeans and ¾ length shirts, even in the summer. My family didn't know about my tattoos either…so yeah, I'd cover up for family events too.
I lived and breathed the tattoo world for quite some time. My bff worked as a piercer at a tattoo shop for many years and I would go there to not only get work done but to hang out as well. I went to tattoo conventions. I drank and partied with some of the biggest, most kickass, heavily tattooed folks you could meet. So I didn't realize until I moved away from the people who were "like me" how very different the rest of the world tends to view women who have many tattoos. I have faced some element of judgment living in a community where my tattooed self kinda stands out. I've been followed around stores by security…I've been ignored while waiting for service (trust me, that doesn't last long, I tend to speak up 😉 I've been asked inappropriate questions and scolded about how terrible my tattoos will look in thirty years and what a shame I must be to my mother. It's kind of unbelievable what people think is okay to say to another individual that they don't know.
What people don't realize is that my tattoos do many things for me, many positive things. They act as conversation starters…you show me, I'll show you kinda stuff. They act as a shield…some folks find my appearance intimidating and at times, that's exactly what I want. A turn on…yes, some men find tattoos on women very attractive and that can be flattering. They are moments in time, symbols of what makes me me. Most importantly though, my tattoos have always been a way of working through the burden of depression. I've found that when I'm feeling my lowest, getting tattooed has been a way for me to work through the pain on the inside by feeling a little pain on the outside. Some folks might think that's a little strange but it seems to work for me. So, there's more to it than a little (or a lot) of ink on my skin.
We are a judgmental society. I'd be a fool to think that people don't judge me based on my appearance. I realize that when I walk down the street showing my tattoos, no one is thinking, wow that is one intelligent, highly educated, hard working woman there. Do I care? No, not really. Getting tattooed is an expression of who I am. It's a part of my life that I won't ever walk away from. My ink gives me power, and as a woman I value that above most things.

Angela, your post comes just a day after I read this article: http://siberiantimes.com/culture/others/features/siberian-princess-reveals-her-2500-year-old-tattoos/ I think you'd find it interesting as they talk about how tattoos in that culture were seen as very different than tattoos are now – they were a sign of status really.
I hate that people judge others by a stereotype that really doesn't have anything to do with tattoos at all – not everyone who gets a tattoo is going to mugg you! I don't have any, I wouldn't be opposed to getting one but nothing has spoken to me yet to make me want it permanently on my skin.
I find it interesting that you hid your tattoos for a time though. People who don't know you are one thing, but people who do know you (family and collegues, etc) surely wouldn't judge you by body art and forget everything else they know about you?
Thanks for having me on your blog, Steve! (And for calling me uber-talented…*blush*)
Natalie, you're right about the family stuff…it was mainly the mom factor influencing things there…she did not want anyone knowing about my tattoos…was very concerned about perception…still is to a certain extent but has learned to cope.
TJ, thank you and I will 😉
Those that know you could never think but the best of you, my friend. Ever.
Awwwwww, thanks, Michelle! You're pretty great too!
I pose a topic to my students as part of an intro to an argumentative paper. As a class they come up with a list of "Tattoos are a bad idea because…." and each quarter they come up with loads of bad ideas. Keep in mind best estimate is 90% of my students are highly tattooed.
We then come up with the flip side. They typically come up with 3: Memories, Art, Meaning. I have to probe them to get them to list "permanent" as a positive.
My point? Even the tattooed community sometimes sees the negative because it's so ingrained. Either that or they try to tailor their answers to what they think their professor wants to hear. I've had a few get irrationally upset and in my face about the topic. Scoffing at the idea that a tat could be a bad idea or looked at as one. They should probably pay more attention…since as their professor, I, myself, am tattooed. Ah, irony.
Wear them proud, lovely. Wear them proud.
Lol, thanks, Kyla…sometimes we get tattoos as a big f.u. to society. Now that they're becoming more trendy, I wonder what people are gonna do to make a point.
To be honest my other half is tattooed (although she only has 9. Whilst I only have one its a tribute to one of my cats who passed. I do plan to have others and I'm sticking with the celtic/tribal theme but for me I won't ever get writing as I like having them for memories without having to share. (As I type this Queen Louis (one of my cats) is sat on my lap, flat on her back having her belly rubbed.) In her honour I'm getting a celtic cat paw print done on my left shoulder, its to symbolise that I'm under the paw. LOL
I know all about being under the paw…lol…I have quite a few cat themed tattoos as well.

You are here: Home > Destinations > Greece > Mainland Greece > Corinth
About Corinth
Lecheo, only 7 kilometres from Corinth, is the first village you encounter en route to Patras so it makes a good base for exploring this lovely part of Greece, so important in ancient times.
Ancient Corinth was capital of the Greek province in Roman times. In those days it was a wealthy city, an important spot for both Greeks and Romans, as whoever controlled Corinth, controlled the trade route between the north of Greece and the Peloponnese. The city was made up of three parts; the acropolis on the hill (Acrocorinth), the city itself on a lower plateau, and its port (Lechaion) on the coast. All this was protected by a wall which ran for 20km (over 12 miles). It flourished under Roman rule and was visited by St. Paul who preached there in 52 A.D. If you decide to make your way to the top of the Acrocorinth you'll be rewarded with extensive views over the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs.
The idea of linking these two gulfs was first conceived in the 6th century B.C. but it wasn't until many centuries later that this vision became a reality and the Corinth Canal was finally opened after Greece's independence in the late 19th century. It is a true feat of engineering at 6km long, 25m wide & 8m deep. Looking down into the canal from the bridge makes you wonder how some ships actually make it through the canal!
Nemea isn't far from here and lies close to the border with the Argolis region. This is wine country, many delicious wines are produced here and many wine estates and vineyards are open to the public for tastings.
Loutraki is a coastal city and is one of Greece's most important spa resorts. Its hot springs are said to cure all manner of ailments, those of you who visit Greece regularly may also remember that it gives its name to a popular brand of bottled water.
The archaeological site of Iraio enjoys glorious sea views. The remains of Hera Temple are fully visible here, as well as many other ancient buildings and facilities. The picturesque little cove is ideal for swimming in the clear waters of the Corinthian Gulf.

Non-psychoactive cannabis compound CBD may ward off acne, psoriasis, and other skin conditions.
CBD is one of the main therapeutic compounds present in cannabis plants. CBD has been proposed to support skin health by:
- Improving acne. Several studies have shown that CBD can ward off acne.
- Protecting against other skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of more than 60 cannabinoids present in the Cannabis sativa plant. Cannabinoids are responsible for the health benefits of cannabis, with CBD being the second-most common cannabinoid after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
What makes CBD unique, however, is that it shares many of the beneficial effects of THC but does not make you high. As a result, CBD is growing in popularity as a way to reap the health benefits of marijuana without the intoxicating effects. It is used for a wide range of disorders including anxiety, epilepsy, insomnia, arthritis, Alzheimer's, chronic pain, and many other conditions.
In addition, some people are beginning to use CBD for treating acne, psoriasis and other skin issues. Although there isn't a lot of evidence to support its effectiveness, early studies suggest that CBD holds real potential in the treatment of skin disorders.
How CBD Might Help With Skin Health
Because research is still in its early stages it's difficult to say exactly how CBD supports skin health. However, the most popular, research-supported mechanisms include:
Anti-inflammatory activity
Inflammation plays a role in acne and other skin disorders. CBD has been shown to decrease inflammation by reducing levels of various pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa, a cytokine that is particularly active in acne.
Decreasing lipid production
CBD seems to reduce the production of lipids (fats) in sebocytes – the skin cells that make sebum, an oily substance overproduction of which plays a role in acne. As a result of this, less sebum is produced by these cells.
Decreasing growth of sebocyte cells
Proliferation refers to an increase in the numbers of a cell. CBD has demonstrated antiproliferative activity against the unwanted growth of sebocytes.
Interacting with the Endocannabinoid System
Researchers have recently discovered receptors of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the skin, suggesting that the ECS plays a role in skin health. The disruption of this system might be involved in skin conditions such as acne, seborrhea, allergic dermatitis, itch and pain, psoriasis, and hair growth disorders. 2
Although CBD does not strongly interact with the two known ECS (CB1 & CB2) receptors, it may interact with other undiscovered ECS receptors,3 and can indirectly affect the ECS by increasing levels of anadamide, a cannabinoid made in the human body.
Antibacterial activity
Bacteria are known to be involved in a variety of common skin concerns such as acne. Cannabidiol has been demonstrated to have antibacterial activity that can suppress the growth of harmful bacteria. 4
CBD Uses & Potential Benefits for Skin Health
Although CBD is more popular for other health concerns, some people are beginning to use it both orally and topically for acne. In addition, some people use it for other skin conditions such as seborrhea, itching, eczema, dry skin, and psoriasis, and as an overall beauty and skincare product.
There is little human research to back these uses, but early cell culture studies suggest that CBD has serious potential in the treatment of acne, psoriasis, and other skin disorders.
Petri Dish Research
Cell culture studies of CBD report that it can help fight psoriasis and acne.
CBD appears to have biological effects that can help fight acne
This cell culture study examined the potential of CBD in improving acne. The researchers applied CBD to isolated human sebocytes (skin cells that produce sebum, the oily substance implicated in acne) and other skin tissues. CBD showed anti-inflammatory effects, and reduced lipogenic (fat-forming) activities and the creation of new sebocyte cells, suggesting that it can help treat acne.
- The researchers concluded that "…CBD has potential as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of acne vulgaris." 5
This cell culture study explored the effects of three different cannabinoids – THC, CBD, and cannabigerol – on psoriasis. The researchers applied these cannabinoids to keratinocytes – the main type of cell found on the outermost layer of the skin. All three compounds reduced the proliferation (increase in number) of keratinocyte cells, which is believed to play a central role in psoriasis.
- The researchers concluded that "…cannabinoids inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, and therefore support a potential role for cannabinoids in the treatment of psoriasis." 6
Human Research
Cannabis cream may help with acne by reducing sebum and skin redness
This single-blind study examined the effects of cannabis seed extract cream on skin health and acne. Men used a placebo cream or one combined with 3% cannabis seed extract on each cheek, twice daily for 12 weeks. The researchers then compared the effects on the cheek treated with the placebo cream with the cheek treated with the cannabis cream. The cannabis cream-treated side had reduced sebum (oil) production and erythema (skin redness).
- The researchers concluded that "Its [cannabis cream] improved efficacy could be suggested for treatment of acne vulgaris, seborrhea, papules and pustules to get attractive facial appearance." 7
Dosage for Skin Health
- There isn't enough research to recommend a CBD dosage for skin concerns
- The general dosage of CBD is usually 15-30 mg in CBD hemp oil form
- CBD creams typically contain anywhere from 150 – 2000 mg CBD total
Available Forms
- CBD oil. The most popular form of CBD, oil tinctures can be taken for skin concerns but are not as effective as topical CBD.
- CBD capsules/edibles. Although convenient and long-lasting, capsules and edibles have lower efficacy because of low bioavailability.
- CBD vape oil. Vaping CBD provides the fastest effects, but has the shortest duration.
- Topical CBD. CBD creams, lotions, salves, and balms are the ideal form for acne and other skin concerns because they can be applied directly on the skin.
- CBD Isolate. 99%+ pure CBD in crystal/powder form.
Supplements in Review Recommendation
- CBD cream for skin health.
CBD shows early promise as a skin health supplement. Early research shows promise for treating acne, psoriasis, and other skin concerns with CBD. However, there isn't enough human evidence to recommend it outright.
There is no established CBD dosage for skin health. Given the lack of research it is best to start with dosages recommended by CBD supplements.

That's strange! My mail is being held right now while we are away so I am wondering if I got a sample pak too. The USPS says it gets no taxpayer dollars but in reading their financial page, that assertation sounds a little like "spin"! Who knows????ReplyDelete
Not me, not yet! I have to think these companies are paying the USPS to deliver samples as a form of advertising. I'm torn about that. What next? Banner ads on the side of their delivery trucks? The post office "presented to you by Proctor and Gamble"? Can't our government do anything without gumming it up?ReplyDelete
Not me either!ReplyDelete
not me either...but I would take it...what cracks me up is all the tv advertising the post office is doing?? when they are going so broke??ReplyDelete
I enjoy free samples, but haven't gotten any since I've been on the road. :(ReplyDelete
coupons and samples..woohooo!!..just that deodorant is at least a six dollar value!!ReplyDelete
No free samples here, but then I haven't seen my snail mail in a month and a half.ReplyDelete
I don't use any of the products so I hope I don't get it.ReplyDelete
I never get anything free in the mail only bills to be paid. :( enjoy the free stuff and yes they are great for your trip.ReplyDelete

Speedy Press Double-Size Ironing Press with Stand (80cm x 31cm)
All Linen Will Be Smooth
A variety of fabric steam presses are available on the market - some of them have an extra-high steam pressure, others are compact but some people need those having a large pressing area. We couldn't make a shortlist and not include these models too. The Speedy Press Super Premier is one of such devices. The model is produced by Speedy Press - one of the most popular manufacturers of steam presses in the world. It has a really large plate - 80 cm long. The advantage is obvious: you can de-wrinkle a larger piece of fabric than in case you'd use a smaller steam press. Thus, this Speedy Press is particularly efficient for smoothing linen, such as bath towels or sheets. A larger appliance is usually more difficult-to-use but this clothes steam press requires the same effort as any other similar unit. Let's also say a few words about storage. Since the appliance is only 31 cm wide, it's easy to store and carry. Moreover, this steam press comes with a special stand, so you can place it anywhere you like and do ironing there. In our opinion, the Speedy Press Super Premier is the best choice for large families as well as for commercial purposes (for de-wrinkling the linen in a hostel or a small hotel, for example).
Speedy Press PSP206E
Take the Strain off out of Ironing Chores
Ironing is a boring process unless you are one of those who regard it as a kind of meditation practice and let all their thoughts go while moving the iron back and forth over the ironing board. And even if you are the "ironing meditator", it's hard to disagree that ironing might get really tiresome, especially if you have a whole pile of clothing items and linen to de-wrinkle. This is where the Speedy Press PSP206E will come in handy.
Featuring an impressive power of 1600 Watts, the unit will heat up to the selected temperature within 1 or 2 minutes depending on the ironing mode you choose and a special light indicator on the control panel will let you know when the ironing plate is perfectly preheated. A choice of temperature settings will let you adjust the right temperature to achieve perfect ironing results on all types of natural and synthetic fabrics, while a steaming function allows quickly smoothing the deepest folds and wrinkles. All functions are operated by intuitive electronic controls on the top of the unit. Another benefit of this model that cannot be omitted is a larger size of the plates that are 80 cm long. Featuring about 20% longer plates than the majority of other models, this unit will help you iron large items like sheets, bath towels, tablecloths, and light couch coverlets times faster and easier.
Though the appliance looks pretty bulky as compared with a conventional iron and might seem somewhat difficult to use, in practice, it appears very easy to manipulate and much more efficient than its smaller traditional competitor. You will quickly get the hang of it and will hardly want to come back to your old iron. When not in use, the plates can be locked in place and the unit can be stowed away in a closet or even somewhere behind the furniture.
If you are an owner of a small private hotel, a laundry service or simply look for a solution to take the strain off out of a tiresome process of ironing large-size items and linens, this steam press iron from Speedy Press will become your lifesaver. Always delivering professional ironing and pressing results, it will save you a lot of time.
Save Your Time!
Would you like to do the ironing twice as fast as you'd do it with a conventional iron? It's easy if you have the Singer steam press! The pressing area of this appliance is far superior to that of any iron, so the Singer ESP-2 can quickly de-wrinkle multiple clothes. The fabric steam press is powerful and efficient - the force of pressure between two plates equals 50 kg, so the appliance can smooth even some fairly thick fabric. Moreover, the upper plate has 49 holes through which the steam is released. It improves the quality and efficiency of ironing and allows you to use a burst of steam. Yet, we recommend you to follow the maintenance guide and use distilled water only; otherwise, the holes will get clogged over time and the steam press will leave stains on your clothes. Just like the best steam presses, the Singer ESP-2 offers several temperature settings for various types of fabric, namely such as nylon, silk, wool, cotton, and linen. Of course, the appliance has an effective safety system - if you keep the upper plate closed for more than 10 seconds, the alarm will start to beep, so there's no risk of fire. And if you ever happen to leave this tabletop steam press plugged in, it will shut off automatically in 15 minutes. Without any doubt, the Singer steam press is extremely efficient not only because it allows you to do ironing quickly but also because it doesn't consume a lot of energy.
Additional Info
Speedy Press PSP202E
Get the Benefit of Compactness
Steam presses are times bigger and heavier than ordinary irons. Yet, such design is exactly what makes them so much more efficient and versatile than those smaller irons we got used to. Many people think an iron press is rather an appliance for commercial use or large houses and those who live in relatively small city apartments or are somehow limited in space can't afford one. The PSP202E steam press from Speedy Press will prove you the opposite.
The model comes without a stand and its relatively small base with a built-in reservoir for generating steam does not take a large area. Hence, you can easily find the place for this ironing assistant on any table or countertop in the kitchen, living room or laundry room, if you have one. The plates size of 64x27 cm is smaller than that of many other models that will let you conveniently use and store the unit even in a small flat or downtown studio. Meanwhile, this size is enough for ironing and steaming large items quicker and easier than you've done ever before. When not in use, the model locks for compact, safe, and convenient storage.
Despite its pretty compact design, the unit performance is in no way inferior to that of bigger models. A 1400-watt heating element heats the ironing plate or turns water into fine steam in mere minutes. The non-stick Teflon coating on the plate not only prevents any fabric sticking or burning but also reflects heat more efficiently that allows minimizing the heat loss and maximizing the unit performance. Fitted with several temperature settings, the appliance works great on fabrics of different thickness and texture. Be it a thicker and more durable cotton or fine and delicate silk, this steam press iron will deliver ideal ironing results.
With the PSP202E, you can enjoy all the benefits of steam press irons, no matter how small or large your dwelling is.
Speedy Press PSP202E+
All-in-one Solution for Various Ironing Tasks
For most of us, common ironing tools are an iron and an ironing board. Some don't have an ironing board and often use an ordinary table to iron clothes. However, an ironing board is not a mere board with supportive legs. It is specifically designed and shaped to conveniently iron all types of garments, be it pants and skirts or dresses and shirts, and smooth wrinkles on most tricky parts of clothing including sleeves, collars, pant legs, pocket areas, and belts. That's not to say about the convenience of ironing large linen and bedding items. Those, who tried to iron on an ordinary table at least once, know firsthand what it is like. Wouldn't it be nice to have an appliance combining all the benefits of a top-quality iron and the convenience of an ironing board? This is what you will get with the PSP202E+ steam iron press.
When fully assembled, this model looks pretty much like an ironing board. In fact, it's a steam press coming complete with a stand. The stand is height adjustable from 67 to 78 cm that will let you optimally customize the unit position to perfectly fit your height. A tripod construction of the stand is extremely stable and supportive keeping the whole assembly securely in place and eliminating any risk of tipping. Meanwhile, a telescopic mechanism will securely fix the press in the selected position to prevent side play and displacement. The stand is detachable that greatly contributes to the versatility of the unit and allows you to use the steam press mounted on the stand when ironing linen or large clothing items or placed on the table for some minor ironing tasks.
Speaking of the iron press, it offers all the features you'd expect from a quality unit of this type. Several adjustable temperature settings allow using the press for steaming and ironing thick and thin, natural and synthetic fabrics including nylon, silk, cotton, and wool. A 1400-watt heating element will quickly heat up the ironing plate up to the set temperature and a green light signal will let you know that the selected temperature is achieved. A non-stick plate will protect delicate fabrics from any possible damages and a streaming option will help make even heavily wrinkled thick fabrics perfectly smooth.
With this model, you will get a fully functional all-in-one unit suitable both for home and for commercial-scale ironing tasks. Stable, easy-to-use, efficient, and packed with all the necessary accessories, the unit will serve you for years.
What Is a Steam Press?
Our clothes need care and that's why ironing is essential. If you have plenty of chores, consider getting a time-saving alternative to a conventional iron. How about a clothes steam press - the most powerful ironing appliance? It was designed for steaming all kinds of fabric effortlessly. Its operation principle is simple and effective: the garment is pressed between two heated plates and then steamed. It smooths the wrinkles in no time and kills dangerous bacteria. Not so long ago, you could see steam presses only at dry cleaning services or tailor workshops. Today, there is a huge variety of models designed for home use. A clothes steam press is an amazingly comfortable appliance that requires no particular skills for effective usage. With an ironing surface up to 10 times larger than that of a conventional iron, you will press lots of clothes in no time!
To keep your house clean and tidy, consider getting a steam cleaner that will help kill bacteria and germs.
If you wish to do all the ironing quickly and effectively, we recommend considering one of the best garment steamers from our review. These appliances do the ironing by creating a powerful and hot steam that de-wrinkles clothing and linen in no time.
What Features to Compare
There are some issues to consider before choosing a steam press. The first one is the size of an appliance. If you need to de-wrinkle large clothes or linen, it is recommended to get a device with a bigger ironing surface. This way, you can steam a larger area per each pressing, which means you won't have to spend hours on ironing. On the other hand, if you don't have enough space to store a clothes steam press in your house or apartment, you should choose a portable and lightweight model.
The next major point is the power of a steam press since it affects the efficiency. Thanks to the powerful heating element, a steam press pre-heats in no time so the steaming becomes more effective. As a result, it is easy to remove wrinkles, crease your pants, or even de-wrinkle really thick fabric that will save you plenty of time!
Finally, you should consider all the extra features each clothes steam press has. Most of such appliances can both smooth the fabric and apply steam. A large water tank allows steaming garments without refilling it too often. Multiple steam jets will efficiently remove wrinkles. Ergonomic controls will help you adjust the temperature for each type of fabric while a digital display will let you see the current setting. A non-stick coating will prevent sticking of fabric to the hot surface of a steam press. Thus, you won't burn or damage your clothes, sheets, towels, and linen. Check if a clothes steam press has an auto shut-off function that ensures safety in case you forget that the appliance on.
We have reviewed 5 best clothes steam presses available on the market to make your choice easier. Now, it is time to pick the appliance that will make the ironing a breeze and give you more free time!

Lava is an igneous rock, cooling instantly after erupting from the Earth. Lava stones are lightweight and porous because of all the holes and voids where gas bubbles used to be during the stone's formation. The rock is able to melt at the extreme temperatures under a volcano. When it erupts, the Lava solidifies into a stone; it looks like a sponge, but it is as hard as a rock!
Natural Lava comes in a blackish-gray or rusty reddish-brown. You may find other colors of Lava on the market, but these have been artificially dyed. Naturally rough and abrasive, Lava stones display a great texture and earthy organic feel.
Metaphysical Energy of Lava
Lava is used as a grounding stone, keeping your thoughts here on Earth instead of floating in the clouds. Lava aids in logical thinking, stabilizing the emotions and keeping your head clear.
Having gone through the fire and emerged as a cool rock, Lava is used as a stone of rebirth and fertility.
Lava as Essential Oil Diffusers
Lava stones can act as aerial diffusers for essential oils. Just rub high quality essential oils on organic Lava stones with your finger, cloth or q-tip and let it soak and dry before wearing or using them in healing. Depending on the size of the Lava, the scent can last anywhere from an hour to a few days.
Because organic Lava is rough, some Lava stones are waxed with paraffin for a smoother feel. This also makes the stone a darker black in color. The wax can be removed if you want to use the Lava with essential oils or just want to go back to its original state.
Lava in Jewelry
Lava is great to bead with because it is so lightweight, yet looks so substantial. You can easily create multi-layered jewelry with Lava and not worry about it being too heavy.
Each Lava bead is unique in its cavities, craters and variations. Lava jewelry gives off an beachy bohohemian-chic vibe.
Shop for Lava stones in the Satin Crystals Boutique.

1Your Child Will Make You a Better Version of Yourself.
Parenting changes you. There's something about shaping a child's heart and mind that brings out the best in all of us.

Your patience will increase ten-fold. You become smarter when it comes to priorities and money. You suddenly unlock a hidden, creative side and become more organized. You learn to be more compassionate and empathetic towards other people. Among all of those things, most importantly, parenting teaches you the true meaning and capacity of unconditional love.

Bali, Indonesia Travel Guide Part 2
The Royal Beach Seminyak, Bali
We arrived here by a very warm welcoming from the resort staff. We received a cold refreshing facecloth along with a fresh lemongrass infused glass of water. Really nice on a hot day in Bali. The concierge took our bags to our rooms. He explained everything in our room e.g. WiFi, what number to dial if needing assistance and explained what was complementary and what wasn't.
We were welcomed by a little note on our bed which was nice. The resort is 25 years old so it does have a tired look to it in some areas of the resort but it is still a nice place to stay.
The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali Facilities:
The staff here are also very kind. I came across a lizard – yes a lizard and yes I freaked out because me and lizards don't get on well, haha. The staff came over and moved him away for me. They probably thought I was ridiculous but they were very helpful! When you stay at the Royal Beach Resort you are surrounded by tropical, lush plants and ponds. The resort is located right next to the beach. You can walk straight down to the ocean/beach to watch the sunset/sunrise which is so convenient and it's definitely a bonus to staying at this resort.
Accessibility of The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali:
This resort is pretty accessible for wheelchairs. There are paths that you can use for wheelchairs. Although there is a small lip/step to get into reception. Other than that you just have to use the paths. The overall accessibility of Seminyak, Bali is explained in my Bali Part 1 blog post. You can read Part 1 here – http://borntobealive.blog/welcome/bali-indonesia-travel-guide-part-1/
Activities to do in Bali:
Swimming – You can swim in the pools at the Royal Beach Resort.
Balinese Thematic Dinner and Dance – This is an event held at the Royal Beach. It consists of a delicious buffet dinner and a beautiful Balinese dance performance. They have beautiful Balinese dancers that danced after the buffet and their costumes were red and yellow, very beautiful and bright! The Royal Beach hold the thematic dinner and dance near the entrance to the beach which is lovely as you can also watch the sunset whilst eating dinner. There is a cost to do this activity but it's a great Balinese cultural activity to watch and be apart of. The dancers come and get you from your table after you have finished your dinner and encourage you to dance with them. The Balinese Thematic Dinner and Dance makes for a great night activity for the family or for anyone visiting the Royal Beach Seminyak Bali Resort. I highly recommend this activity!
Beach – Although we don't personally swim at the beach. It's a great place to watch the sunset or buy a floating lantern that you light and let go into the sky!
Places to eat in Bali:
– We mostly just went back to the same restaurants that I wrote about in my Part 1 Bali Travel Guide.
Although this stay was partly in collaboration with The Royal Beach Resort. This doesn't affect my review and opinion in this post. I do recommend staying with The Royal Beach Resort. ~
Ayana Resort and Spa:
Located in Jimbaran. 45 minutes from The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali.
We stayed here for one night and it was gorgeous. They have 18 pools, WiFi, restaurants, including the famous Ayana Resort Rock Bar, Spa treatments, shops and more. This resort is huge!
I highly recommend staying here! Hopefully I get the opportunity to stay here again in the future. This is not in collaboration with Ayana Resort but it was too beautiful not to write about.

At the University Archives we receive a number of requests every year about Columbia alumni: a grandfather, great aunt, parent, cousin, etc. For this purpose, we put together a research guide to help genealogists find information about former Columbia students. The guide offers the most popular or most frequently consulted sources, both online and available to researchers in person in our reading room.
We recently processed a collection of materials ideal for researchers interested in former engineering students, either an undergraduate or graduate student, who attended Columbia (whether or not they received a degree), and who were in attendance between the 1860s and 1927: the School of Engineering biographical records, 1926-1927.
In 1926 the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education led a study of engineering education, financed by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation. The Society felt changes were under way in the practice of engineering that needed to be addressed in the education of future engineers. At Columbia a Faculty Committee was appointed to work on this study and they decided to focus on the School's alumni. The engineering school's Alumni Association was also interested in securing data for a new edition of the Alumni List and Professional Record (last issued in 1912). And the same data would also be of value to the University Committee on General Catalogue for compiling the next Alumni Register. These three committees combined forces to finance a comprehensive questionnaire addressed to the engineering alumni. In 1926, 3,500 questionnaires were mailed to former students of the engineering schools: Schools of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry.
We have the 1,203 replies or completed survey questionnaires, organized alphabetically and then bound into 9 volumes, ready for researchers and genealogists to discover. The questionnaire asked for biographical information and a professional record. In the biographical section, researchers can find information about the respondents' high school, college and professional courses and degrees as well as their college record: athletics, publications, societies, class offices, etc. For the professional record, respondents were asked to complete a work history up to their current position, including years, character of work, field of work, organization and notable achievements for each entry. Here researchers will find that some respondents decided to attach either handwritten or typed resumes detailing their careers.
For more information on how to access the University Archives collections, check out our Research & Access website. If you have any questions about how to find materials or how to access materials, please contact email@example.com.

That is why, they don't want you to know!
MANILA, Oct. 14, 2011–Despite the celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month every year in October, the connection between cancer and oral contraceptives use is never addressed, a Cebu-based physician said. [Well, will you expect pharmaceutical companies to talk about this when in fact non-education of the risks of artificial contraceptives gives them more money?]
Cebu-based Human Life International (HLI) Pilipinas director Dr. Rene Josef Bullecer pointed out that it is ironic that the celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month only focuses on its campaign on the cause, prevention and treatment of the disease, and patently ignore the connection between cancer and oral contraceptives. [Well, I guess we can expect Elizabeth Angsioco and her minions to deny this. What if we see them gobbling up a bottle of contraceptives on live TV, eh?]
Major events such as seminars, fun runs/walks, free clinics and features on breast cancer survivors have been lined up to mark the month-long celebration, and "of course these activities are very commendable," he said. [But where is the talk about contraceptives playing a part in breast cancer?]
"But I was viewing a local TV program several nights ago where the guests — obstetricians and an event director — discussed the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, how to avoid breast cancer and the contributory factors on how women may be afflicted with breast cancer. I was shocked that they never mentioned the role of oral contraceptives in triggering breast cancer. One of the doctor-panelists even denied the pill-cancer connection," Bullecer related. [Ask that doctor-panelist where he/she goes for vacation and who pays for that. :D]
"As a doctor of medicine and a pro-life fighter, I cannot afford to just close my eyes and ears to the truth that the use of oral contraceptive pills as well as Depo-Provera injectables can cause cancer, as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on July 29, 2005 that 'artificial contraceptives' are 'carcinogenic,' at par with cigarettes and asbestos," he pointed out. [Even after the studies were released by the IARC and WHO, the pro-RH people still call the evidence myths! Where is Big Foot when you needed him?]
"Artificial contraceptives can trigger cancer of the breast, cervix and liver," he added.
Besides the WHO declaration, Department of Health (DOH) former chief Dr. Esperanza Cabral also admitted in an April 2011 interview over DZIQ that contraceptive pills increase the risk of breast cancer. [And yet Cabral is still all for OCPs!]
"I really pity our women — for more than 40 years since the artificial family planning program started in 1967, women were never told about the horrible medical side-effects of these pills," Bullecer said. [And since 1967, the contraceptive agenda is a dismal failure. And their solution? MORE CONTRACEPTIVES!]
"How many hundreds of thousands of Filipina mothers have died because of cancers, stroke, hypertension, diabetes triggered by oral contraceptive use? Who will speak for these helpless victims?" he said further.
"I am challenging all doctors, nurses and midwives in this country, particularly those working in the government or NGOs who vigorously promote these products in their day-to-day campaign, and I dare them to speak up for the truth (or they are themselves traitors to their own patients and countrymen) and expose the hidden agenda of the multi-billion peso pill manufacturers at the expense of the health and lives of Filipino women," the doctor said.
"With the sinister RH Bill pushed in both chambers [of Congress], can the proponents say we never knew about these? And then even proudly declare that the RH Bill is pro-women?" he asked. (CBCP for Life)
KUDOS to Dr. Rene Josef Bullecer!!!
Ever wonder what your medical history case files really mean?
I got this from friends in the pharmaceutical industry and doctors themselves.
Remember SM Advantage Cards?
They work the same.
Even before SM got the idea, the pharma companies were doing that to doctors. It is a simple case of the med rep is the salesman and the doctor the distributor. Hit your target, you get your rebate or reward. Simple.
I got a doctor to admit to me that her trip with his husband was shouldered by the pharma company who made the infant formula she recommends to my baby. And not only that, she got to buy a whole new set of luggage from a "Travel Club" thingy, all paid for the pharma company PLUS pocket money.
Now you know why, even after the government goes after doctors for their income taxes, some doctors still would not want to issue receipts?
And this whole RH thing.
It's all about the money, money, money. They need our money, money, money.
