Skincare, Health and Aging

http://skinhealthandbeauty.wordpress.com/Skin And Health As someone who has always had sensitive skin and who more recently has battled skin cancer and rosacea , I have been going to dermatologist s for years. Additionally, I sold Avon when I was starting out after college, and more recently, I worked in the cosmetics department at Macy's with lines including Clinique , Estee Lauder , Lancome and Alexandra DeMarkoff (it was the incredible stress of working for a volatile, erratic manager in the Macy's cosmetics department that brought on my rosacea), so I have a modest background and some training in working with cosmetics, creams and various skincare treatments. I have decided to start blogging about and  maybe writing articles about various advances in skincare, health and aging. To be honest, since this is a new endeavor, I am not quite sure what direction it will take, but I have taken the first step by setting up a Twitter account , and will creating a new blog...

Christian Social Networking

Visit Christian Activities Network At Christian Activities, we have been busy creating Christian social networks where our friends can network and share information about Christian music and family-friendly entertainment. If you belong to any of these networks, please join us! Networks don't work without people! Most networks are wide open to anyone and everyone. As Christians, we are often exposed to things we really don't want to see. That's why our on Ning is being set up for Christian entertainers, authors, musicians, and other personalities who believe in the statements in the Nicene Creed (found on each page of the network). I think Ning has the potential to be the best, most interactive network so far. However, other networks offer other opportunities, and Christian Activities is taking advantage of several. If we are to be both light and salt to the world, we have to have a presence where seekers can find us. We are now "broadcasting" on Blip.fm . If you w...
