Molie Molie Molie!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 23, 2009 »

I’m sure that most of you saw the Austin Powers scene where Fred Savage’s character had a giant dark mole on his face that no-one could take their eyes off. If you didn’t; tada! Now you have. The image is your’s for life, or until Alzheimer’s rears its ugly, mole-infested head.
Just one step worse than [...]

What is TMJ?

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 22, 2009 »

What the heck is TMJ?
TMJ and bruxism can be treated without medication or mouthguards, apparently, quite successfully. But what the heck is meant by TMJ? I have just been on a billion websites, where TMJ is discussed and an assortment of products offered to aid in its relief.
You would think that someone would tell you [...]

Crystal Himalayan Salt Lamps

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 21, 2009 »

What a bright idea!
Soft glow, but definitely a bright idea.
Crystal Himalayan salt lamps by Solay do indeed emit negative ions to the air. These ions bond with allergens, those nasty particulates in the air and take them down to the ground.
This type of bondage is definitely a good thing!
Less allergens in the atmosphere makes breathing [...]

For those seeking health products and foods that are in concert with vegan tenets, Solay Wellness products are definitely for you. I’ve checked the Environmental workers Group SkinDeep cosmetic safety database, and all of their products have been given the green light. Literally.

Orange Blossom Update

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 19, 2009 »

Well everyone, I bought orange blossom essence toner astringent, like the aromatherapist suggested. I tried it in order to combat my twelve-lane highway panic attacks that have plagued me over the last two years. To no avail, I’m afraid, except for the first moment that I sprayed some on my face and wrists in the [...]

Safe Toothpaste and Mouthwash

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 19, 2009 »

There is an absolutely amazing website on the internet:www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. That is the URL for the Environmental Energy Worker’s Skin Deep: cosmetic safety database.
Did you know that one third of all cosmetics include at least one ingredient known to be carcinogenic? And these are not trace elements, but base elements, as the good [...]

There Are Snails On My FACE!

Thanks a lot for the anti-wrinkle cream J.J. It works wonderfully, and it is FULL OF SNAIL!
Aaaarrrgh!
Yuk!
Spittooee.
Yes, I finally got around to reading the skin cream ingredients and lo and behold: full of snail. Snail excretions. From some rare snail from some corner of Chile. I must say, I have noted an improvement in [...]

Aspartame Sucks. Stevia is Great.

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 15, 2009 »

And we keep on sucking on it, like the morons we must be. Every time a “calorie reduced” product has aspartame in it, a warning in bold letters must appear, stating that this product Aspartame, contains phenylalanine. If it has to be printed in bold-faced type, when absolutely nothing else in the [...]
