Hi All,
The first product I ever got from TheBalm was the Hot Mama blush/highlighter reviewed here. I was so enamored with it I tell you. Their packaging is so retro funky and attention grabbing ..not to mention risque. It would appeal to all of us and to boot, thay come out with such multi-purpose colors. Eyeshadows which can be used as liners, blushes which can be used as eyeshadows..the list is endless!
Hot Mama was just the beginning and after that I picked up the Bahama Mama Bronzer reviewed here and this blush in Cabana Boy. I admit, one of the main reasons I picked this up was a memory from my honeymoon in Kerala. We were staying in this resort where there were we had a cabana to ourselves and eveything like the massage parlor, resto-bar, etc were also housed in cabana's. So the first day while we were wandering down the path trying to find the buffet we caught hold of the housekeeping lady for direction and I still remember her words, 'Not worry, I call Cabana Boy to take you.' And mind you, the 'Boy' was pronounced 'Buuaayyyy!' Haha!!! I remember trying to swallow my laugh because well, she was just trying to be helpful… 😉 But yea, the term 'Cabana Buuuaaaayy' stuck in my head and when Isaw the name online..that too on a blush, I knew I had to pick it up.
About TheBalm Cabana Boy Blush: –
Shadow/Blush Nothing is more satisfying than being indulged. This pink dusty rose rouge will ensure that you have all the boys attending to you. The subtle shimmer catches the eye while the warm undertones provide glow that is oh-so-natural regardless if you are pool-side, beach-side or bed-side. Talc & Paraben-free and no strings attached, this shadow/blush is the perfect companion.
- Price: Â $21 (available on Strawberrynet)
- Quantity: 8.5gms
My take on The Balm Cabana Boy Blush: –
- Packaging: Like all TheBalm blushes, this one also comes in a cardboard form which opens like a book. The claps is magnetic and fall proof…Yes, I've tested it…Ok, not quite tested, but everything falls from my hands 🙂
- Color: The blush is a dusty rose color with a hint of berry and no visible shimmer. It also has a pearly finish which I like. Its not a particularly warm or cool shade so this would suit all skin tones easily.
- Pigmentation & Texture: The blush is highly pigmented and easy to blend. It does have a bit of fallout but not something to fret-over. It can be built us for a heavier look if needed. I usually have to dip in twice with my brush to get the right amount of pink on my cheeks.
- Staying Power: This lasts about 5-6hrs easily on my cheeks and then starts fading. But even as it fades, it leaves a lovely pink tint behind which is gorgeous in itself.
- Application: I use a rounded fluffy blush brush to apply this in a 'C' shape from my temples to my cheeks. It blends out easily and I don't have to worry about harsh lines and such. The rosey pink shade is precisely what I love on my cheeks and suits every season or clothing you choose to wear.
Pros of TheBalm Cabana Boy Blush:Â –
- Such a dusty rose shade is very hard to find. I have not been able to pinpoint a dupe for this. No blush I know of even comes close.
- Sturdy & attractive packaging
- Easy to blend.
- One of the shades which even beginners would find a pleasure to use.
- Can be built up
- Has a pearly finish which I love since it looks sober enough for work and jazzy enough for a night on the town
- Talc Free
- Paraben Free
Cons of TheBalm Cabana Boy Blush:-
- Not too easily available
- Pigmentation: 5/5
- Texture: 5/5
- Staying Power: 4.5/5
- Price vs. Quality: 4.5/5

Jose Benitez's goal enables Wyandanch to topple Mattituck and reach final
Wyandanch has earned its shot at the school's first Suffolk title in boys soccer.
With little-used sophomore Jose Benitez scoring the winner with 22 minutes left, the No. 3 Warriors defeated No. 2 Mattituck, 1-0, Thursday in a Suffolk Class B semifinal. That's Mattituck, as in the winner of five straight Suffolk Class B championships.
Now Wyandanch, the program that last made the playoffs in 2009, has a chance to hoist the trophy.
"It was a hard-fought game," Wyandanch coach Thomas Williams said. "Mattituck is a great program."
Benitez, who played eight minutes and narrowly missed a goal in the first half, scored off a rebound. "Right place, right time," Williams said. "When his number was called, he was ready to go."
The same could be said for goalie Jose Reyes, who made six saves, including three on one-on-one opportunities after Wyandanch (8-7-1) switched to a defensive formation with the lead.
Nestor Meija also contributed to the victory. Williams charged Meija with shutting down Axel Rodriguez-Canel, who came in with 14 goals and four assists, and the midfielder obliged.
Mattituck's last chance came on a direct kick with 40 seconds left, but the Warriors cleared it into their offensive zone and killed the clock.
"It was alarming," Williams said, "but we stepped up and got the ball out of the zone."
Wyandanch enters Saturday's championship against either No. 1 Southampton or No. 4 Center Moriches on a roll. The Warriors are 6-1-1 in their last eight matches after a 2-6 start that included losses to Amityville (Class A), Kings Park (AA) and Lindenhurst (AA).
"I wanted to see where the puzzle pieces kind of fit," Williams said. "Some of the athletes weren't playing the positions they're playing now. We started to learn a little more about one another."
With a championship on the line, they will have a chance to learn even more.

Battle Royale! Ibe Kachikwu's Best Friend, ABC Orjiako, Folorunsho Alakija, Others Battle For The Purchase of Petrobras $4Billion Dollars Nigerian Assets
Petrobras Oil &Gas B.V's advisors for the sale of its Nigerian assets, Scotiabank et Evercore, have lined up very specific potential buyers.
With the exception of Russia's Lukoil, only Nigerian firms approached the Brazilian firm's deal brokers with offers. They spoke with Lekoil headed by Samuel Adegboyega and operator of the Otakikpo field.
Seplat directed by Ambrosie Bryant Chukwueloka 'ABC' Orjiako, a close friend of the minister of State for petroleum resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu , also showed its interest in purchasing the assets.
The last Nigerian firm in the line-up is Famfa Oil, owned by the all-powerful businesswoman Folorunsho Alakija. Unlike the other two firms, Famfa has a major draw card to pull.
It has the right of first refusal, already being a shareholder of Petrobras' block OML 127, which encompasses the giant Agbami field operated by Chevron. According to our sources, Alakija made it known that she would be willing to fork out $2 billion for a further 8% stake in OML 127 as well as a 16% share in OML 130, on which the Akpo and Total operated Egina fields sit.
Famfa's has built up its war chest thanks to Agbami, which has produced over 200,000 bpd since 2008.
On the other hand, Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V, a joint venture between Petrobras, Brazilian bank BTG Pactual and American investment fund Helios Investment Partners, is looking for nearly $4 billion for the sale of its entire Nigerian portfolio.
This figure, according to the Brazilians, reflects the fact that production is scheduled to start at Egina, which should reach 250,000 bpd at plateau. Famfa is said to be on the lookout for a financial partner to be able to buy the assets that would add a sizeable source of revenue to its belt.
Alakija is pulling strings within her Nigerian and continent-wide network to raise the funds needed to achieve her goal.

Daily Tarot Card for 2~4~19: THE HANGED MAN
Daily Tarot Card for 2~4~19: THE HANGED MAN
By El Morya of The First Contact Ground Crew Team
Upright: Pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives
The Hanged Man shows a man suspended from a T-shaped cross made of living wood. He is hanging upside-down, viewing the world from a completely different perspective, and his facial expression is calm and serene, suggesting that he is in this hanging position by his own choice. He has a halo around his head, symbolizing new insight, awareness, and enlightenment. His right foot is bound to the tree, but his left foot remains free, bent at the knee and tucked in behind his right leg. His arms are bent, with hands held behind his back, forming an inverted triangle. The man is wearing red pants representing human passion and the physical body, and a blue vest for knowledge. The Hanged Man is the card of ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good.
(Book your incredible Twin Flame Spiritual Session, Spiritual Healing Session or Personal Ascension Assessment, to uncover your blocks, get your surprises, get unstuck, discover your mission and unlock who you really, truly are! Book your Spiritual Intuitive Session Here)
The hanged man hangs upside down by one foot with one leg spryly crossed and his hands tied behind his back. A halo gleams behind his head, and his yellow hair hangs down. His costume is casual and light. The wooden cross he hangs from has leaves growing from it. The sky in the background is slightly gray making it difficult to tell what time it is. If flipped upside down, The Hanged Man appears standing and confidently holds his hands on his hips.
Upon closer scrutiny, we see that The Hanged Man's face is not twisted, contorted, or strained the way we would assume someone in this predicament would be. Even though he has been sent to the gallows and bound up by his fellow men, he does not seem burdened with guilt or fear of death. We do not know what The Hanged Man has done to end up here; perhaps it was his fault or perhaps he was wrongly accused. Either way, he is not hung up on the particulars. He looks bravely out from the card, not flinching or apologizing. Also, The Hanged Man is not desperate or angry; he is not trying to scream out about injustice or persuade anyone to let him go. In his precarious predicament, he is somehow at ease.
Not only is The Hanged Man at ease, but he also has a divine halo around his head. Because of his precarious position, he is suspended between life and death like Anansi the spider or Stone Monkey. This gives him unique powers such as fearlessness, boldness, and intuition. Being suspended in the air, The Hanged Man also has a unique view of the world. He sees the familiar world now turned on its head. This allows him to have insights that before were hidden from him. It also makes the familiar strange and exciting again; this new sight enlivens him! He has nothing to lose so he might as well relinquish struggle and enjoy the time he has left. Though he may be close to death, he is surely not dead yet. There are no symbols of death in his card: even the cross he hangs from is, in fact, sprouting life!
Though the Hanged Man has been condemned by society, he appreciates each moment as though it were his last.

Automobile Accident
Being involved in an automobile accident can have a serious impact on your life. The
accident may be your fault or the fault of the driver of the other auto, either way if you
have been injured the results will be the same. In a perfect world, the insurance company
would treat you with respect and concern and provide you with whatever is necessary to
get you back on your feet. Well, that's in a perfect world. In this world, being treated with
respect and concern by insurance companies are a rarity. The last thing these companies
want is for you to hire a lawyer because they know an attorney will have more knowledge
about the process than the average person. With auto accidents injuries, their goal is to
get you as little as possible, usually before it can be determined if you have long term
injuries resulting from the accident. A skilled Oklahoma personal injury lawyer can guide
you through the process and help you determine what your future needs will be resulting
from an injury accident.
You've been involved in an accident and you have been injured. Now what?
You are probably confused as to what happens next and you need advise... here's an
easy-to-follow guide for automobile accidents in Oklahoma to help answer some of those
questions and assist you in getting through this difficult time.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Your failure to seek immediate medical attention after and auto accident will be used against you by the insurance companies and their lawyers, who will argue that you would have sought medical treatment immediately after the accident if you had been seriously injured.
Report the accident to the DMV or your insurance company.
Take photographs of your injuries, the damage to the vehicle and the scene of the accident.
Good pictures of your injuries after an automobile accident can make a huge difference in the outcome of your personal injury case and greatly assist your attorney with your case. Take at least one roll of photos following the accident and develop them immediately to ensure you get at least a few good photos of your injuries, damages to the vehicles, and the accident scene.
Don't discuss the accident with the other driver, their attorney or any insurance company – even your own.
Never give a written or recorded statement, unless it is under the advice of your attorney.
Anything you say from the time of the auto accident until your case is resolved can be used against you in court. Additionally, any statement you give to opposing attorneys and insurance companies will be used by them to hurt – not help – your case. Further, in uninsured and underinsured motorist cases, your own insurance company will act as if they are the insurance company of the uninsured or underinsured driver of the other automobile. For this reason, you have to be careful not to share information about your injuries or the events of the accident with them as well. It is in your best interest to consult your attorney before speaking to any opposing attorney or insurance company representation – even your own. Please note, however, that by law you must exchange driver and insurance information.
Have a police report prepared and obtain a copy of the report.
If the police do not come to the scene of the auto accident, then you need to visit the nearest police station and fill out an automobile accident report. Make sure you list all of your injuries and any statements of fault made by the other driver.
Keep a record of the names, addresses and phone numbers of all witnesses to the accident.
The police do not always include all witnesses in the accident report. Many cases have been won – and many lost – by not having a witness to support your version of the accident.
Keep a log of the time you take off from work as a result of the accident.
You or your attorney can use this log to support your claim for lost wages, and as an exhibit in court to prove your wage loss or settle your case.
Keep a log of the names, dates of service, and reason for seeing all medical professionals since the time of the accident.
You or your lawyer can use this log to prepare a medical history relative to your accident, and to obtain the necessary records for advancing the settlement or trial of your personal injury claim.
Keep a log and receipts for your out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the accident.
ou are entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the auto accident. These can include rental cars, clothing, medical expenses, non-prescription medication, and other expenses not covered by your insurance policy.
Follow through with all necessary medical care promptly and diligently.
If you don't obtain the medical care you need, the insurance companies and their lawyers will argue that you are not really injured as badly as you are claiming. Obtain all necessary medical care in a timely manner, and don't give them that opportunity.
Avoid signing any documents or releases of information unless you are advised to do so by your attorney.
The insurance companies and their lawyers will use all available means to reduce the amount of money they have to pay you. They will try to obtain your medical records, and other records, by telling you that they need them to evaluate your claim. In reality, they will use the information they obtain to discredit your claims. Consult your attorney if you are asked to provide any records regarding the accident, even to your own insurance company.
Review your insurance coverage to see if you have Medical Payments Coverage and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage.
If you do not have these types of coverage, add them to your policy for the future.
Medical Payments Coverage can be used to cover your medical expenses resulting from an accident. Unlike HMOs and PPOs that limit your medical care decisions, Medical Payments Coverage allows you to choose the doctors and the treatment you receive, so long as it is reasonable. With Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage, if the driver that hit you is not covered by insurance or lacks sufficient coverage to compensate you for all of your damages, your own insurance company will step in and compensate you for your damages as if they were the insurance company of the other driver.
Do not settle your case until all present and future medical expenses are known.
You are entitled to be compensated for all past medical expenses as well as all future medical expenses that you are reasonably certain to incur. An experienced auto accident injury attorney can help you to determine what amounts you are entitled to receive.
ep copies of everything.
You must be able to prove all elements of your case, and this requires appropriate documentary support. Don't try to guess what you should keep, because you never know what supporting information you will need later in your claim. Keep records of everything, including the automobile accident report, witness information, medical bills, lost wages and medical history logs, and anything else that might support your case. If you don't think you need it, check with your attorney before tossing any piece of evidence.
See an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
The best way to find out your rights is to see an experienced Oklahoma personal injury attorney as soon as possible following your automobile accident. An experienced attorney can help you develop the necessary proof for your case and deal with any potential problems. Do not withhold any information from your attorney. Everything you say to your attorney is protected and confidential. The insurance companies and their lawyers deal with personal injury claims on a daily basis. The only way you can even the playing field is to have a skilled Oklahoma attorney on your side as well. For a free consultation regarding your case contact us at our Tulsa office now via email or call 918-587-8700.

Every day there is so much we ignore, objects and actions visible only in our periphery. The French writer Georges Perec described these instances as the "infra-ordinary" and over a weekend in 1974, in Saint Sulpice Square, set out to record them in detail, an endeavour later published in his book An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris. The idea behind the project was to document the everyday and to find out what happens in those instances when nothing happens.

Market Insights in a Time of CrisisMar 26, 2020 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI
Distance – the space between – defines our present in so many respects, but that's not what will lead to success in any market. We have distance from each other, distance from our normal life of just days ago and distance from a future without COVID-19. But that distance has underscored the interconnection of people and markets and their actions like nothing has before. Sure, we knew we were all connected, and we knew the cause and effect of factors that drive our economy, but the coronavirus ...Read more
Marketplace Lending: Market Momentum in 2020Jan 17, 2020 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI
Expectations are high for marketplace lending in 2020 but, more than any other lending sector, there are legal questions on the horizon that are likely to have an impact going forward. A Market on the Rise Marketplace lending deals have been steadily climbing since FinSight started tracking data in 2013. There was a jump from 2018 to 2019 with the number of tracked deals going from 37 in 2018 to 47 in 2019, and the value of those deals rising from $12.3 billion to $15.2 billion.

Marketplace Lending in 2018: A DIY MindsetJan 22, 2018 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI
There is no doubt marketplace lending, by offering speed and flexibility not historically seen in traditional banking, has done its part to foster the "do it yourself" (DIY) era. At its core, the DIY mindset starts with a question – why pay someone to do a job or share your profits or glory, when you can do it on your own? And ideas come to fruition through the vast amount of information now available to model success. In this DIY age, it seems anyone can start a company, create a fund or even ...Read more

On the Dark Side of Automation: Borrowers Will be Affected but Marketplace Lending is a Potential Bright SpotJul 17, 2017 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI
As lenders lean on data, algorithms and automation for more efficient loan underwriting, observers have noted that these largely untested tools have yet to go through an economic cycle. The greatest challenge for automated lending, however, may lie in the very technology that drives it. Artificial intelligence and automation aren't just for lenders, after all—and as companies across industries adopt them in the coming years, the impact on borrowers' economic stability could be severe. But ...Read more
Evolution or Regression: The Choice for Marketplace LendersJun 16, 2017 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI AND MASSIMO GIUGLIANO
Act more like a traditional bank, and less like a tech start-up. That's what some marketplace lenders are trying to do to appease some critical investors. Acting like a traditional bank, however, could be a slippery slope. Operational changes may be enticing to some investors, but they threaten the very foundation of marketplace lending, potentially shutting out the segment of the population marketplace lending was meant to serve. Evolution was expected. Regression was not. The way forward ...Read more
OCC Action Touches Off Fintech Turf WarMay 31, 2017 | By JOSEPH CIOFFI
Beneath all the excitement surrounding the fast-growing "fintech" industry has been a more practical question: who, exactly, is going to regulate this new breed of enterprise? The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency offered one answer recently, announcing its intention to grant national bank charters to fintech companies. The OCC action would allow companies that gain charters to operate nationwide. Equally significant, it would result in state-level preemption. Chartered fintech ...Read more

For many people, with age comes wisdom, and between the ages of 17-21, it also comes with wisdom teeth. Unlike your ancestors, wisdom teeth no longer serve as a necessity, so the expert dental team at Rockwell Dentistry in Middletown and Hamilton, New Jersey, extract wisdom teeth to help you avoid dental complications. Wisdom teeth often cause crowding or become painful and impacted. If you experience pain or swelling at the back of your jaw, call or schedule an appointment online today.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars in the back of your mouth, and the last adult teeth to erupt through your gums. Today, you don't need your wisdom teeth for chewing, and they can potentially cause overcrowding that leads to numerous dental issues, including:
In most cases, to avoid problems you need to have your wisdom teeth surgically removed (extracted) by the highly qualified dentists at Rockwell Dentistry.
When a wisdom tooth gets stuck below the surface of your gums and isn't able to break through (erupt) alongside the other molars, it's considered to be impacted. Since many people don't have room in their mouths for an extra set of molars, wisdom teeth often grow at an odd angle. This makes it nearly impossible for the teeth to erupt without causing dental complications and mouth pain.
Common symptoms of an impacted wisdom tooth include:
If left untreated, an impacted wisdom tooth may cause damage to the surrounding teeth. The skilled dentists at Rockwell Dentistry have been performing wisdom teeth extractions for more than 27 years. They take excellent care of you before, during, and after your surgical extraction to ensure your mouth heals properly and you're as comfortable as possible at all stages of the procedure.
Wisdom teeth extractions take place in the comfort of the Rockwell Dentistry office. The team knows it can be frightening to have teeth removed, so they explain your procedure and take great care in keeping you comfortable. You may receive a local anesthetic to numb your mouth, or general anesthesia so you're asleep during the entire process.
To remove each tooth, your dentist makes a small incision in your gums and removes the tooth and root before closing each wound with sutures (stitches). You'll have gauze or cotton on your mouth after the surgery to protect the empty sockets where the teeth once were. There may be some temporary pain, swelling, or bleeding immediately following surgery, and you'll receive instructions on how to recover and manage any pain you feel for the first day or so afterward.
Avoiding wisdom teeth extractions can make matters worse in the long run; call Rockwell Dentistry or schedule an appointment online today.

James Davis of New Bern, Fit to Print
This Day in North Carolina History
On June 24, 1749, James Davis, a printer trained in Williamsburg, Virginia, printed the first official publication for the colony of North Carolina at the colony's official press in New Bern.
Although printers had been active in some colonies for more than 100 years, North Carolina delayed acquiring a press. The provincial government liked to control the distribution of information and feared challenges to its authority, and the colony didn't have the dense population necessary to finance a press.
Nearby printing presses in Williamsburg and Charleston also made it relatively easy to farm out the work that needed to be done.

Complaints by Royal Governor Gabriel Johnston in 1736 prompted the Assembly to begin the process of hiring a printer and acquiring the press. In 1747, Johnston appointed James Davis to the…
