DIRTY MOUTH… CLEAN IT UP


Traditional Soap vs. Glycerin Soap

Remember when they use to say “wash your mouth out with soap.” Did anyone ever stop to think that washing someone’s mouth out with soap would be harmful to them? Traditional soap (a regular bar of soap, ie Dove, Dial and Irish Spring) have been around for along time; it contains harsh chemicals that are dangerous. These chemicals include: DEA, Isopropyl Alcohol, BHT and Triclosan (commonly found in anti-bacteria soap). When using traditional soap for a long period of time it can cause the skin to itch, to become dry and produce a rash. Now, who would want “that” (traditional soap) in their mouths.

Have you ever took a bath or shower, dried off and didn’t apply any lotions? Due to you having to rush out the door for school/work and a hour later looked down and see your legs have ashed (dry flakes of skin on your legs). Unlike traditional soap, glycerin soaphas ingredients in it to helps to moisturize the skin as well has help pre-existing skin condition to calm the skin down. In addition, removing dryness and the itchy rash.

Eco-friendly Soap

Glycerin is a eco-friendly soap it can be used and is used in many different things in shampoo‘s, conditioners and lotions. (It’s water soluble and alcohol soluble; but soap isn‘t biodegradible). It’s also environmentally safe because it dissolves. Traditional soap does dissolve but after it does it leaves harmful bacteria in your water, which goes back into the environment.

 

Are You Getting Your Monies Worth?

A lot of manufactures put glycerin in your body lotion and facial cream because of it‘s solubility. They charge you a lot more money for the small amount of glycerinthey put in your lotions and facial creams. If you don’t believe me than do this, stop reading right now and go pick up any lotion in your home and you will find that it has glycerin in it because it is a moisturizing ingredient.

Handmade glycerin soaps are far better than traditional soaps because it has glycerin in it and it has other ingredients that help your skin feel smooth and silky (that’s why when you touch glycerin soap it feels silky). You are getting more, than your monies worth with handmade glycerin soapthan with traditional soap

Traditional or Handmade Soap You Decide

Traditional soap is the oldest cleaner known to man. It is made by a chemical process is called saponification this is the chemical reaction which produces soap (which produces a hard bar of soap that is cheap and plentiful). Glycerin is produced during saponification but is extracted from traditional soap. Glycerin which is a humectants that absorbs moisture from the air and binds the moisture to your skin. With daily use glycerin soap will make your skin soft and smooth. It’s sensitive, so it can be used on both children and adults.

Handmade glycerin soap carries a lot of healing properties for those that may have skin problems (sensitive skinie. Eczema, Psoriasis) you will find relief with handmade soaps. It is truly a mild soap compared to traditional soap and therefore is especially hard to find. At Uniquic we carry different sizes of glycerin soap. If you want soft smooth skin. Soap that won’t leave your skin dry. Soap that will give you the moisture that you need. Which can bring life back into your skin. Then check out our homemade glycerin soap www.uniquic.com

DO YOU NEED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR COLLEGE?


(New scholarships posted everyday)

Students Seeking Education by Experiencing Academic America (S.E.A.)

an Houston, Texas based mentoring program for high school students, students at risk, and college bound students who want to attend an Historically Black College / University. (HBCU).

S.E.A will post a scholarship list for minority students each day. If you are a high school senior, junior, or an transferring college student, these scholarships are for you. FREE MONEY! We all know through life there is nothing Free, you have to apply to receive this money. Your cost is time. The time it takes to fill out the scholarship application.. Look for the S.E.A. blog each day, highlighting a new scholarship listing 2010 / 2011

 

College Scholarships: Athletic Scholarship Application Checklist


Want to play college ball, and get a college scholarship for doing it? There are a number of requirements you must first fulfill, and a number of things you can do to ensure that you're on a prospective school's radar. Follow these steps to improve your chances of snagging athletic university scholarships.

Contact the school formally
Once you have made a list of the schools you're interested in, get the names of the head coaches and write to them. When you do, include:

· A factual resume of your athletic and academic accomplishments

· 10-to-15 minutes of video highlights (with your jersey number noted)

· Letters of recommendation from your high school and off-season coaches

· Your season schedule

Ace the interview
When you meet with a
recruiter or coach, be sure to offer a firm handshake and maintain eye contact. According to recruiters, the most effective attitude is quiet confidence, respect, sincerity, and enthusiasm. These are qualities they'll want to see on the court and on the field.

Ask good questions
Don't think that you should refrain from asking questions. Not only will you impress the
recruiter -- you’ll get the information you need to make the right decisions about your athletic and academic future. Such questions might include:

· Do I qualify athletically and academically?

· If I were recruited, what would the parameters of the college scholarships be?

· For what position am I being considered?

· What level of interest do you have in me?

Follow up
Timing is everything. There are four times when a follow-up letter from you or your coach can be extremely effective in procuring student scholarships:

· Prior to the senior season

· During or just after the senior season

· Just prior to or after announced signing dates (conference-affiliated or national association)

· Late summer, in case undergraduate scholarships offered to other athletes have been withdrawn or declined

Just like in sports, success with college scholarships is about persistence. Give it your all, and there’s a good chance it will pay off.

Nine out of 10 Americans look forward to receiving personal letters and greeting cards. Adding a personal touch to your greeting cards can make them even more special to the receiver.

Here are some tips for personalizing greeting cards:


  1. Write the person’s name or nickname, if appropriate on the inside of the card. Personalizing the card reminds them this card was sent just for them.
  2. For cards that already have a message inside, highlight the phrases that you want to stand out or hold special meaning. This is a great way to signify how the card personally applies to the receiver.
  3. Include your own words, something simple, such as, “I am not always great with words, but when I read this card, I thought of you.” The most personal cards are honest and heartfelt.
  4. Add a small gift inside. If your card is for a holiday or occasion, you can include a gift card to their favorite store to make the card a gift in itself.
  5. For business owners, send a series of greeting cards to make your message part of an ongoing conversation.
The importance of sending a greeting card, is that the receiver will know you took time out of your day to think of them. And as the quote says... People may not remember, what you did or what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel.

bbwo_blogher_sistasense I've been meaning to share this with you guys, but this has been one busy summer! Anyway, to my surprise Gina Carroll, a writer on Blogher.com recently wrote an article An African American Woman Seeking an Online Network, in which several of my websites were featured. This is actually one of my first, non-interview, features. I'm really excited about it and honored that Gina felt compelled to spotlight my social networks for Black Women. Could you imagine me getting a call from the Monique Show or Oprah! Then I'd be moving on up (lol). Seriously, Blogher is the premier online community for women bloggers so this feature is again, truly an honor. Plus Gina talks about other social networks for women of color... definitely an article worth reading.

HARO is a Good Media Resource

If you're looking for for media exposure, one good place to turn is the site HARO . What Peter Shankman has done with the HARO site is nothing short of phenomenal. But Peter can only do so much. He can get the word out for you but then it's up to you to do the rest.

Here are some tips I recommend when responding to HARO:

1) Include your contact information. This includes phone number(s) and an email address.

2) Do not tell someone to google your name during the initial screening process, especially if you haven't supplied any other information.

3) If the reporter has included their name in their query, you should address them by name when responding. It makes it more personable. And make sure it's the RIGHT name. Someone responded to my query with a "Hi Barbara" when my real name was clearly indicated right above their response.

4) Do not direct someone to your website if you haven't included other contact information. People do not have time to search out your contact information.

5) Keep your response simple and to the point. If you've written a book or spoken on a topic that has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject matter, it's not important to mention it. In my case, I wanted to know what would make you a good social media panelist.

The important thing to remember is to make sure you put your best message out there with the best contact information.
