About Soap

When you step into the market to pick up a bar of soap, what is it you're really buying? Phrases like beauty bar, deodorant bar, moisturizing bar, and the list goes on and on, is only telling you one thing, you are not buying soap. What you are purchasing is a petroleum based detergent product.

Soap, by definition, is a cleansing agent made from the mixture of the sodium salts of various fatty acids or natural oils and fat. Because of FDA regulations, a cleaning product cannot be listed as soap unless it actually contains the fatty acids and natural oils combined with lye to produce soap.

So, what's the difference you may ask? Let me tell you a story about my son. For two years he suffered with severe allergies, chronic sinus infections, and was all around miserable. The first step in dealing with his problems was to remove his adenoids that had become infected. After the surgery, his sinuses cleared up for all of two weeks. Then once again he succumbed to yet another sinus infection.

Unable to determine the reason for the sinus infections, he was put through allergy testing. After two sessions and more than 80 injections covering irritants from pet dander, mold, trees, dust (and the list goes on), they determined that he reacted to absolutely nothing. And so we were sent home with instructions to monitor his diet for the next month in the hopes of determining weather or not he suffered from a food allergy.

I had a better idea.

While allergy testing covers most airborne irritants, it does not cover the common chemicals we subject ourselves to everyday. Since my daughter and I are both severely allergic to formaldehyde, a common preservative used in most hand creams, lotions, lip balms, and cosmetics, it occurred to me that he might suffer from a similar allergy. So, I stripped his bedding, pillows, clothing, curtains, and washed everything in a batch of homemade olive oil laundry soap.

The result: After two weeks his sinuses began to clear. Within a month all of the symptoms he routinely suffered from migraine headaches to breathing difficulties, gradually faded away as though they had never existed.

Many people today realize that our homes are over-saturated with a host of chemicals, many of which carry moderate to severe side effects with prolonged exposure. What we fail to realize is how many of them are completely unnecessary.

Making your own soap is both a rewarding and simple process and one that can truly benefit your entire family.

For those familiar with cold process soap making, the lye solution uses sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for saponification to produce bar soap. If you want to learn how to make liquid soap, the first thing you need to know is that liquid soap does not involve this type of lye. Instead, to make liquid soap you will need potassium hydroxide (KOH), known as potash lye. Both of these types of lye are extremely caustic and will burn your skin, so extreme care must be taking when you're learning how to make soap.

Before you attempt to make liquid soap, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the cold process of soap making first. Beginners will find it more difficult to try to make liquid soap first, as it is a bit more complicated and requires a great deal of patience as well as a bit of extra time!

Similar to the cold process in that the lye mixture and fats are blended, liquid soap requires a lot of blending but instead uses heat to saponify the liquid. Reaching trace is a lengthy stirring process to make liquid soap you will need to keep stirring or blending for about 30 minutes so a stick blender is a must if you want to know how to make liquid soap without getting cramp in your arm! Once the mixture reaches trace, the next stage is a waiting game. With an occasional stir every half hour or so, the soap will take up to 4 hours to cook, and its state will change several times throughout this period.

The next stage in your quest to make liquid soap is to test the soap mixture, to make sure it will stay clear. If all is well, water is added to dilute the “gloppy” mixture, but it is not quite ready yet to turn into liquid soap consistency you have been hoping to make! After several rounds of waiting and stirring, the paste will eventually dissolve and you'll be ready to neutralize the liquid soap mixture. This process involves adding boric acid, and is required to get rid of the excess lye that is involved when you make liquid soap.

To make liquid soap smell pleasant, you will now need to add essential oils or fragrance to the mixture, and if you'd like a bit of color in your liquid soap, a coloring additive can also be used. Leave the liquid soap to cool and pour it into large containers to rest.

Now that you know how to make liquid soap, you are ready to divide up your mixture into individual containers, bottles or dispensing jars. Your soap is now ready to place in your bathroom and use for washing hands, as shower wash or shampoo, depending on the recipe you have used to make your liquid soap.

Marie Ackland - Soap making was originally a hobby of mine that gave me great pleasure, theres something quite satisfying about creating from scratch a beautifully scented bar of soap.

It then turned into a full time passion, creating wonderful soap for family and friends to enjoy. When a friend surgested I take some along to a local craft fair, which I did and from that day on I never looked back. I now have a great soap business which makes a healthy profit and gives me great satisfaction.

So now 20 years on from my first batch I love to teach the art of soap making. It can be frustrating at first but if you learn the fundamentals and put into practice my methods you WILL have great soap every time.

How to get rid of blackheads well, there are all types of gadgets out there. I?ve never actually purchased any of them quite frankly they are kind of scary. Actually if you catch them fairly early they can be managed and dealt with pretty easily. It?s when you wait too long is when you have problems in controlling them. But I will teach you my method on how to get rid of blackheads.

Anyway, I will show you my method on how to get rid of blackheads. But I will also give you some tips on how to keep them from coming back. Ok for the most part? Blackheads are caused by the oils in your skin mixing with grime, sweat, and such. And if you have some pretty decent size pores it gets into those pores and cause?s what we know as blackheads. How to get rid of blackheads, well I bet if I asked you how much water you drink in a day you would probably say ?not much.?

But I?m going to set the record straight right now. I have suffered through (pepper face) blackheads &amp acne for a great portion of my life. I know how it can damage your self confidence and put you in an alien kind of state where you feel like you will never be normal.

I vow in this article, that if you follow this regime. You will stop it in its tracks earlier then I did. First thing on how to get rid of blackheads, probably one of the most neglected things in human kind is ?We do not drink enough water.? Do you realize if you managed to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day not only is it to keep you hydrated, and flushes you out. But more importantly at least for those of us who suffer from blackhead infestation, it tightens our pores. Makes them so small nothing can get in?

Next simple step, whatever you do ?Do not use regular deodorant soap on your face.? Buy some good facial soap. Preferably use one that has moisturizer in it. Regular bar soap will just dry your skin out, makes it a breeding ground for blackheads and acne. Getting rid of blackheads really is quite simple?And if you think you can just slap on some moisturizer later, I tried that it does not work?

Soap in general is just way to harsh for your face to handle. You need to make that small investment for a good facial soap, and buy a good moisturizer to splash on during the day. If you remain steadfast with this, that is how you will get rid of your blackheads.

And finally, I can?t tell you enough, please! try and keep your hands away from your face. The oils from your hands can cause irritation and make matters worse. When you go extract the blackheads from your skin using your fingers, make sure that your hands are thoroughly washed. Otherwise you?re just defeating the purpose.

Acne No More

People with oily skin find that their skin produces more oil in a variety of conditions, both internally and externally.

Internally, medications, stress, and hormones can trigger the oil glands to overproduce and cause breakouts while external factors that trigger this reaction include: certain foods (usually those high in fat), humidity, and overly hot temperatures (whether inside or outside).

Aside from skin care techniques, people with oily skin can watch for these factors and compensate for them in order to help keep their oil glands stable.

It is important to understand that, in the case of oily skin, Mom is not always right. Old skin care methods taught us to use rather harsh cleansers, exfoliating treatments, masks, and toners. These were developed to strip the skin of its natural oils.

Exfoliating treatments designed for oily skin both scrubbed a light layer of dead cells from the skin and stripped oils from the skin. The oil stripping action of the cleansers, masks, and toners combined with the abrasiveness of exfoliating treatments designed for oily skin managed to create irritated, dry skin. Dry skin, in turn, begins to produce more oil in an attempt to compensate for the lack of moisture.

A modern treatment that many women seem to prefer is the use of fruit acids. These tend to soften and brighten complexions at the same time that they help the skin control its oil production. This stabilized oil control helps makeup stay smoother, giving an overall pleasant appearance.

Fruit acids also have an outstanding effect on moisture within your skin because they encourage the production of a chemical within the skin. This chemical gives the skin the ability to hold water within it at a greater ratio than skin which lacks in the chemical. While Moms treatment removed moisture from the skin, the use of fruit acids helps the skin to regulate and retain natural moisture.

Fruit acids work as a light chemical exfoliation by removing dead skin and old oil which build up in the uppermost layer of your skin. These old oils on the surface are excess oils and not being utilized by the inner workings of your skin, so removing them does not affect your skins moisture content.

The skin is stimulated by this removal and produces new cells, which are necessary to have that fresh complexion. Large pores appear smaller with the use of fruit acids because the acids break down oils and dirt built up within the pores. Some people believe that the pores actually shrink, but science disagrees with this.

The most likely explanation is that the pores appear smaller because they are no longer full of the dark material therefore they are not as obvious to the naked eye. If there is any truth to pore shrinkage, researchers agree that it can only happen through a long time of keeping the pores free of any build up.

You often hear of alpha hydroxy acids, some of these are natural and some are chemical compositions which are an attempt to recreate natural substances. Either way, you can use them yourself without purchasing mass created skin care treatments which may carry unwanted chemicals to your skin.

Dip a cotton ball in the juice of a fresh, organic lemon and apply to your face (especially oily areas and areas with larger pores), let sit for 3 minutes, cleanse with a mild organic cleanser, and moisturize with an appropriate moisturizer.

This should be done daily and the amount of time the lemon juice remains on the face should not be increased as a general rule. By using the juice daily, the build up break down will be gradual, but you will keep future build up under control.

Many people want to hurry the process of the initial build up removal, but if you irritate your skin by leaving the lemon juice on too long, you will not be able to use the juice on a daily basis. This defeats the plan of keeping future build up under control.

Remember that your oily skin may be irritating to you, but proper care of it will alleviate that. There are great side effects for you because of your oily skin: it usually does not burn as easily, does not usually freckle as quickly, develops fine lines and wrinkles slower, and does not discolor early. Care for your oily skin and it will care for you!

One thing is for sure when it comes to buying a skin cream for your dry skin. The number of ingredients can be perplexing and choices bewildering. When your skin is dry and itchy, you need to choose the kind of products that can keep your skin from bothering you during the cold, dry weather.

Here is a list of common ingredients that you should get familiar with when it comes to picking the dry skin products you see in most health stores.

Ceramides

Our body creates ceramides which is found in our skin. It helps to keeps our skin cells in good working condition. When your skin gets dry and rough, your skin is often lacking in ceramides as well. This is a substance that skin manufacturers add to creams to help shore up your skin?s barrier functions.

Lipsome

Its original function is to aid drugs and other pharmaceutical delivery to our body. However, it has been further developed for cosmetic purposes as well. Lipsome contains active skin ingredients which when applied has better chances of being carried to the deeper layers of our skin epidermis. This can release much needed lipids to the skin to lessen the effect of dryness.

Lipids

What are lipids? What can lipids do for your dry skin? Lipids are essential fatty substances that your skin needs daily to function properly. It forms a protective layer at your skin?s stratum corneum, helping to fill up the intercellular vacuum if there?s any. Artificial lipids have been added into cosmetics to replace the natural lipids lose by your skin through exposure to the sun or other environmental effects.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

This are a well-known acids used to soften the skin. Derived from fruits acids, alpha hydroxy acids can be found in citrus fruits, milk and even red wine. Put into skin cream, AHAs has launch a revolution in the way dry skin and other skin can be treated.

If you have excess dry skin buildup, skin creams containing glycolic acids can help to shed away these dead skin cells. It also helps to improve your skin moisture-retaining capability tremendously. Used over a period of time, it can help to keep your skin dull-free looking and produce better skin complexion.

Collagen

You may come across some skin creams that use collagen as an ingredient to boost the skin?s defence functions. It can help your skin to retain water content and hydrate the skin?s uppermost layers. It can elicit the response from your skin to maintain healthy skin elasticity which is harder with other ingredients.

We must have in our body vitamins (a chemical compound of organic origin) and minerals (like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium etc.) for normal health and growth. Since our body cannot prepare these important vitamins and minerals, they must be taken from outside in form of food and other supplements. Vitamins and mineral pills are not always absorbed easily and efficiently. It has been found in some cases that the whole pill passes through the person intact without being utilized at all. Such things never happen in case of a liquid vitamin and mineral dose.

Because the absorption rates in the case of liquid vitamins and minerals is much higher, they have the extra advantage of working faster than the pills. The liquid dose can produce the same effect within 1 to 2 weeks, which a pill form can take 2 to 3 months to produce. People just cannot wait long while suffering from disorders and prefer a more effective liquid dose of vitamins and minerals that can produce quick and immediate results.

Liquid vitamins and minerals enhance and strengthen the immune system. They enhance the effects of training and competition program for improving health.

Qualities of some of the USA liquid vitamins and minerals are as follows:

(1) Many top brands produce liquid vitamins and minerals nutrition which are good in taste. One has to simply drink it in order to provide essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes which the normal diet does not provide.

(2) Liquid vitamins and minerals also come in concentrated form providing power and energy. It is good for athletes, fitness trainers and body builders needing energizing athletic supplement. They also contain Aloe Vera, Sea Vegetation, Ginkgo Bilboa and Ginger root.

(3) Liquid multiple vitamins and minerals produced by some firms are excellent products that maximize supplements delivery to body cells and are rich and complete in protein amino acids and herbs.

(4) Vitamin B-6 Liquid by some firms are strong dietary supplements, sweetened with Sorbitol, help in maintaining a strong productive life and improve infantile spasms.

(5) Some companies produce black raspberry liquid vitamin and mineral supplements that are easy to take liquid forms, taste great and contain rare earth minerals to support body at cellular level.

We highly recommend you check out our nutritional liquid vitamin supplements website for further information.

The recent dog food and pet food recall that has claimed the lives of dogs across the United States as a result of eating contaminated commercial dog food tainted with aminopterin, a rat poison, and melamine, a chemical used in making plastics and fertilizer. As a result many dog owners considering homemade dog food as a safe and nutritious alternative for their dog.

In a recent news article, a law professor states that little change is anticipated ( in the dog food industry) after the current onslaught of dog food recall news and attention subsides.

The probable reason for this conclusion is that there are insufficient financial resources and manpower to effectively monitor and regulate the dog food industry. You can?t trust the dog food industry to watch out for your dog and the government is not your answer either.

This is unfortunate. The dog food industry was born in postwar America to meet a need?.the need of business interests to recycle slaughterhouse and industrial waste. This refuse had potential uses as fertilizer, landfill and such, but a more profitable horizon existed in the packaging and selling this ?junk? as food to unsuspecting dog owners. It is now a common misconception that your dog can not maintain a healthy life unless he is fed commercial dog food. Nothing could be further from the truth.

To save your dog's life, you may want to consider making your own homemade dog food. This is one of the best ways to guarantee your dog a healthy and safe diet.

Just glance at some of the regular ingredients delivered by rendering plants to commercial dog food manufacturers in the Unites States, Europe and worldwide.

? Euthanized dogs -Toxic chemicals such as Sodium Phenobarbital, the euthanizing agent injected to kill dogs daily at dog shelters. (This comes with the euthanized dog who is ground up at a rendering plant to be added to dog food. The dog may still be wearing a flea collar and be in a plastic bag when rendered )

? Blood

? Feathers

? Undeveloped eggs

? Downed, dying, diseased and dead animals (Known as the 4Ds)

? Hooves, beaks, feet and hide

And a host of other unsavory, unhealthy and toxic products that will slowly kill or euthanize your dog with every feeding.

So what?s the alternative? Well, if you are willing to spend a little time, and maybe even some money, there is a better way to feed your dog. You can halt the daily toxification, provide needed nutrition and increase your dog?s lifespan

What You Should Feed Your Dog

A variety of homemade dog food options are available for you to make your own dog food at home.Some of these include completely natural dog food diets that are currently the rage with certain dog nutrition experts such as The Bones and Raw Food,( BARF) diet also known as the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet.

BARF Diets typically include a variety of uncooked foods such as :

? Bones with meat flesh attached
? Organs
? Muscle
? Eggs
? Fruit
? Yogurt
? Enzymes
? Herbs
? Vegetables
? Supplements and herbs
? Cereals

As to the preferred meat, there is none. BARF proponents use beef, chicken, goat, buffalo, whatever is fresh and available.

The same philosophy seems to exist for vegetables. Again the emphasis is on freshness, availability and variety.

While anecdotal tales of remarkable results are reported daily by BARFers, some veterinarians have found that BARF diets can be deficient in certain required nutrients. The inability to qualitatively analyze each prepared meal may account for these research results.

Vegetarian Homemade Dog Food Diets

Dogs, while primarily carnivores are also actually omnivores. In the wild, 10,000 years ago, dogs would take down their prey, and eat not just the meat of the carcass but the contents of the stomach which included undigested grains, berries and grass.

This natural desire for a balanced diet suggests to many dog nutritionists that a vegetarian diet containing sufficient protein sources is desirable. The advantage of a vegetarian diet is that disease and other health related issues can be avoided as well. Additionally, the philosophical objection of vegans to killing any animal as a food source is accomplished.

Homemade Dog Food Vegetarian Diets include

? Bread
? Brown rice
? Sprouting grains
? Carrots
? Apples
? Dog biscuits
? Cottage cheese
? Eggs
? Lentils
? Baked beans

Make a Combo Homemade Dog Food Diet

? A Combo diet is in essence a blend of all philosophies and might include
? Meat
? Vegetables
? Eggs
? Brown Pasta
? Brown Rice

No matter which approach you choose for a homemade dog food diet there are a few pitfalls. One is the difficulty of preparing a properly balanced dog food diet with each batch.

The Whole Dog Journal states that a properly balanced dog food diet should include whole meat, vegetables, fruit, grain and high quality dietary fats.

Others suggest that the best alternative is to use a very high quality dog food that is natural, without preservatives, additives and the toxins that are found in many of the private and major kibble brands sold in retail outlets. These dog foods will typically cost quite a bit more than dog foods of lower quality, but guarantee a balanced diet for your dog .

If you do choose to prepare homemade dog food for your dog be certain to avoid certain foods which can be toxic and potentially fatal to your dog. These include but are not limited to avocado, raisins, grapes, and chocolate.

If the pros and cons, yin and yang, of the various approaches to making homemade dog food for your dog has your head spinning, don?t despair. I have been researching this field for years and learn something new daily that confuses me even more.

There is a good way to get some perspective on this.

If you decide on making your own homemade dog food there is a wonderful free primer online at http://www.pet-grub.com

Don?t be afraid to get started making homemade dog food if you don?t have access to every recommended ingredient. The improvement in your dog?s health by simply removing the toxins of his current commercial dog food and his new and improved healthy, nutritious homemade dog food will be worth getting started today!

Anime bath can mean a bathroom decorated with one or more anime bath characters from a whole range of character figures. Characters like the Flash or Batman or Superman for folks who like their anime bath characters from a farther back period. Current anime bath characters could include Trigun Vash or Wolfwood from the classic 1998 anime series.

Your bathroom d?cor can reflect just about any side of your personality, any of your “likes” such as anime bath accessories. Doing a search online for anime bath accessories using the name of your preferred character can result in some interesting results. For instance, I was able to find a set of Trigun Vash or Wolfwood bath towels. Now, what bathroom is complete without a set of these anime bath accessories?

Although one would probably think of children's bathrooms first when thinking of an anime bath, there are a number of adults whose “Football Team” accessorized bathrooms would qualify as an anime bath. And how about “Wrestling Fan” anime bath or “NASCAR Fan” anime bath?

The range of characterizations that can be represented in your unique anime bath are endless. If you like a popular figure, either “real” or animated, you can probably find accessories in that figure's image and this certainly qualifies you as having an anime-influenced bath.

Children's bathrooms are probably more suited as anime baths. Their heros are probably of an animated variety, thus making the concept of children's bathrooms more likely to be decorated and furnished as anime baths. If you are decorating a bathroom for a child, you will definitely score major points for creating anime baths in their favourite character's image.

What a marvellous result - a happy child - with something so creative yet so simple as a present of an anime bath!
