  • Its sickening what is happening with the natural foods industry

    I bought some almond butter which I assumed was pure but tonight was shocked when I saw the ingredients: Palm oil and cane sugar.  I’m assuming the reader knows about the problems with palm oil and the massive deforestation that is occuring because of it. It turns out that Marantha was acquired by Hain Celestial…

  • Topical analgesic danger

    I had a bad wipeout on my bicycle a week ago. I was bicycling into a strong wind with my arms outstretched kind of like a bird. I think there may be a psychological reason for this: I was probably trying to fly away from all my troubles, to escape this Earth and all its…

  • Its interesting how infectious diseases spread

    Its interestig how diseases infect the body. You could be out somewhere and somehow a tiny droplet containing virii or bacteria from an infected person gets in your nasal passage without you even knowing. Then the droplet just stays in your nose and the virii or bacteria incubate there. In the moist, warm environment of…

  • My new favorite foundation

    Because the serums and moisturizers have been working so well my new thing is to not use any foundation. I still use concealer and of course use eyeliner. The first thing I do in the morning, before I even eat or anything, is put on eyeliner. My favorite eyeliner is Chanel’s Stylo Yeux. As I…

  • Linguistics, physio-psycho axes, orgasms, laughter, and history

  • My favorite foundation(s)

    I made a post a while back also about some foundations. I want to make a new one again with updated info. Currently I have two favorite foundations, both by Chanel: Lift Lumiere and Perfection Lumiere. One of my previous favorite foundations was Dior’s Diorskin Nude. However I find that, in the category of natural-looking…

  • My favorite concealer

    I thought I would post about my favorite concealer. I posted about concealers before but since that time have found a new favorite: Chanel’s Correcteur Perfection. My previous favorite was Mac’s Select Moisturecover. Of all the concealers I’ve tried, Select Moisturecover and Correcteur Perfection seem to have the best coverage, go on the smoothest without…

  • Peak Gaia

    We hear about peak oil and are concerned with the ensuing problems facing the human race which it presents. We hear about peak-other-things where other-things can be other material resources including fresh water, or food. Upon hearing about such things we become concerned. We also may think that such problems shouldn’t be happeneing, that the…
