Thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, dark lines,and red lips with out lip gloss, are what the current style depict.Like if it were a white canvas, an immaculate and clean face, this season, prepares to receive a brilliance of color. Behind nude colored base, which covers and corrects imperfections, it is time to select the brushes, and place color, especially on the eyes and lips.

The colors red and black are the common denominator of the new trend, colors that serve to dress the mouth and eyes, during the day as well as at night.Like so Girogio Armani inspires himself in his sophisticated mediums “jacquard”-which are characterized by the repetition of geometric mediums- inorder to create a type of makeup in which the coloris explores contrast, and then plays with the lights and shadows, creating a look the is soft and then intense in unison.The theme “jacquard” is present in two textures of eye shadows. In the center of each one, four tones,like four the reads of silk; a central duo of eyeshadow, one lighter, and the other more intense in order to add intensity to your look. “In order to give more intensity to the makeup, you can apply with a wet brush” suggests Linda Cantello, one of Girogio Armani’s makeup artists.Although many makeup artists believe that, there is a lot to bet when enhancing the eyes, the mouth has to seem natural, De Mey, without a shaky pulse and with emphatic strokes, color is added to theeye’s glance and the lips as well.Red, a color known for its excellent seduction, is chosen for the mouth, which represents it the atrical and fierce inside a chromatic scale, is the protagonist color Read the rest of this entry »

That is what was said about the hominid’s diet, published y a study in Science, which indicates that your surroundings are much more important on determining of one’s diet than the anatomy of the specie. The professor peter Ungar, from the university of Arkansas and Matt Sponheimer, from the University of Colorado, revised the last facts from the last studies and they came across distinct techniques,  “in order to develop a synthetic technique, “in order to develop a synthetic vision of the diets of the early hominoids,   they in indicated in a recent interview.

Traditionally, the studies in eating habits in the species of extinct hominoids have centered on the size of the tooth, the form and morphology, as well as tools made out of rock and the bones of sacrificed animals.  But in this study teeth have been studied with a microanalysis technique which measures the wear of teeth and the other with isotopes which analyze the remaining of enamel, with which they have been able to know a lot more about the eating habits of our ancestors. The scientists indicate that the waste that is detected in the microanalysis of animal’s teeth reflects the toughness and resistance or the strength of the food they were eating the days or weeks before their death. The measurement of stable isotopes (especially carbon) in the dental enamel provides clues with the proportion of herbs, fruits and nuts that were consumed. After combining these two techniques, the investigators believe that the human diet could have been much more diverse from its beginning than what was believed and they reopen the question about the diet of the extinct species.

“We have reached a point of inflection in the dietary investigation of the hominoids, a point that has no return. Clearly our before answers no longer work”, said Sponheimer, who assured that there are reasons to be optimistic and continue in the investigation. These investigations were conducted primarily on fossils of Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, and the results indicate that very similar species (with very similar teeth, forms and cranium structures) they could have had diets very different. According to Ungar, the majority of the studies “have focused on size, forms and structures of the cranium and teeth and they have used them to reconstruct the diet. But this does not tell us what these people ate, but what they could have eaten”. :if we pay attention to the teeth and the form of the cranium, it seems like there should have  been a progressive increase in the intake of hard foods (for example nuts, seeds, roots) in an open savanna, indicated Ungar.

This is the what Pamela Ball says, American therapist who interprets dreams, she spoke about dream sin her book, “The Interpretation of Dreams from A to Z”. According to her,“dreams are fragments of our unconscious part.This is why many times these can indicate whatto do and what to avoid.” She adds that the worries that one may have during sleep, are related to things that have happened and have affected each individual emotionally. In order to understand dreams, she assures, “there are certain standard interpretations or archetypal images that are commonin all cultures. Once they are understood, you will achieve the capacity of making adjustments inorder to adapt these dreams to our culture and beable to understand them”. Such interpretations,explains Ball, relate to spiritu a l things, which refers to the union maintained with the divine or superior, and that of the materialistic and psychological, with which one can comprehend the emotional reactions.For this, in her book, Ball explains how to reconstruct your dreams and identify connections with these, in order to understand feelings andemotions.

Christmas is just around the corner and wit hits arrival comes the “Posadas”, gifts, the parties,the dishes and the traditional appetizers(according to your culture), the hugs, etc. The ideal would be that these festivities would help gather the family and make them closer around the most important celebration of the year to most Latinos and in general, for many known as the birth of Jesus.The problem is that nowadays families are not exactly what they should be. To begin with the couples that have survived through only one marriage are very few now, it is safe to say, that without doubt they are becoming an extinct species.Currently the majority of women and men that areon this planet are divorced, separated, or are simply going through their second or third marriage( soon the record set by Elizabeth Taylor, would have been broken by the many of us). Facing this outlook, many couples face the same dilemma each year: Whereto spendy our Christmas at? With whom will your kids spend thisday with, you or your ex?The situation gets even more complicated when your previous significant other, has kids from a previous marriage, programming can become a complete strategy.We must clarify, that not necessarily one needs tobe divorced in order to find your self in a monumentally proportioned conflict when it comes to deciding where you will spend your Christmas Eve at.Those couples that are immune to these frequentruptures too, suffer from this dilemma: with your family or with mine? Inside stable marriages the situation has two spectrums: first, either you have already gotten used to your couple’s family and are part of it (the “adopted one”) or second, you are very tired of them, and you don’t even want to see them in picture. In the first scenario you always end up spending this holiday with your husband’s family, while your family has toc o n f o r m with a calland the promise that next year for sure you will be with them.In the second scenario, you would rather get kid napped than to have to spend another holiday withyour in-laws. What to do then? To come to a consensusis the most logical thing to do. Read the rest of this entry »

As If it already wasn’t a big deal that the weight of the world has to be carried on your back, imagine what women have to carry when they become mothers. Due to a case of design, our back must always over reach to compensate for what nature has hung in the “front”of the body. Very few recognize the effort that women put into not tipping over every time they decide to climb on to some he els; they compensate contracting their muscles more, slicking out their butts and stretching their hips out. Of course, this makes them seem much more feminine and elegant.In general, everything is good…Until pregnancycomes, with the on going increases in size of the stomach, with an increase of about two poundsa month. From the beginning the back is the pagan one, who has to adapt to the extra weight, the side effects of lack of exercise, and the excesses due to cravings and other excuses. You walking like a duckand your whole figure leaning backwards do not come free; they are the way this structure compensate sfor the weight that increases with days.And even though the fair thing would be that this would end after giving birth, the truth is that our dear friend has only received a brief introduction.A couple of hours later she is already carrying her child, which requires her to do almost circus contortions required to lift the baby from a crib, whilethe rest of the world rests. Not to mention the adaptations that muscles and ligaments have toundergo, in order to allow for turns, contractions,stretches and extensions during breast-feeding.Oh you think it’s easy to carry the bay from placeto place, sitting at the edge of her bed, in the middle of the night, without a back that works properly?Another thing: the baby weights more each day, and while he does not walk you have no other choice but to carry him, even while you clean, pickup the phone, receive visitants, and you take care of the rest of the family. All of this, to your back, isa worthy test of a top athlete

“The fact that a woman is beautiful itself affects their career success and the reasons are recorded at depths deeper and much more complex than the simple fact of being “pretty” many women say.”Let’s not lie to ourselves. Beauty (just like size) does matter. And the reason why it does is not because men are frivolous and prefer the pretty not so smart candidate, aside from the ugly smart candidate. The reason is much more profound than this it is believed that physical beauty affects the development of the woman and her confidence. Experts agree that women, who feel beautiful, reflect more confidence, which can often lead to gain a better salary. Although this may seem like a mistake or an illusion, it is clear that if a person feels more secure, those working with her will believe that the person is better fit to do their job, even though it might not be true.

Although the work entrusted to a beautiful woman may have nothing to do with her beauty, confidence and communication skills allow their employers or managers to see these women more capable, yet this issue goes much further. Amazingly now that the standards of beauty are quite similar to anorexia, beauty, many times, has been directly linked to health. In the Renaissance, those beautiful women were the ones that seemed somewhat chubby, who could hold the perfect little boys in her wide hips and then give birth without problems. In the early twentieth century the ideal woman was formed by a cartoon, the “Gibson Girl”, the prototype to be followed by most of the girls that wanted, like her, to have an erect bosom, wide hips and protruding buttocks. This is just to name just two examples of how the standards of beauty change just as much as a chameleon does.

The ecological situation is worrying what can you do? Turn off the light, close the faucet and recycling is necessary, but not enough.

It is estimated that in less than a century a lot of forests will have disappeared due to deforestation and with that the possibility of many countries to develop, with a possible repercussion in the economy, and the health of the entire world population. The diagnosis of our planet is not that satisfying. The reason is, “although we are in the city, a hundred of kilometers away from the forested areas, we need wood, air and clean water, we need carbon and nitrogen processes in order to produce our meal, in other words, we need a basic structure for our development and due to deforestation lowers the possibility. In fact, we are losing vital information in the investigation of new cures for diseases”, warns scientist Clara Solano, and we are not exaggerating. This situation has made countries in Africa like Ethiopia and Somalia stop their development, due to the fact that their floors are now dessert like. What to do? “Turning off the light, recycling…is not enough. A change in habit lies inside the fact that we should all begin to understand that, for example, every piece of paper that we misuse may come from a forest that is experiencing deforestation” Clara Solana reflects. In other words, in order to consider yourself the real “ecological woman” you must take serious choices. Read the rest of this entry »
