Beauty Is Only Skin-deep
No matter who you are, male or female, young or old, having good looking skin is important. After all, your skin is what people are going to see when they are talking to you. But unfortunately, keeping perfect skin is easier said than done. So, when it comes to personal shin care there is a lot for you to keep in mind. After
all, not everybody is lucky enough to have perfect skin without having to do a thing. Luckily, skin care is one area of popular as of late. If you are hoping to restore your skin to its natural beauty, you will want to consider buying some skin care product.As the old saying goes, beauty is only skin-deep. And modern-day cosmetics industry watchers tend to agree. Skin care is the most rapidly growing segment of the cosmetics business. And despite sullen global
economy, those seeking eternal youth are giving the luxury skin care market a new lease on life.Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful. She may be shelling out big bucks for that floss complexion. Skin care costs are skyrocketing, and women and men around the globe of dropping upwards to 150 dollars for mere ounces of face cream. A rocket scientist invented Estee Lauder’s La Mer, by fomenting mineral water and sea kelp. Worldwide, the cosmetics, fragrance, and toiletry industry is a 170-billion-dollar business. Skin care alone accounts to about
30 billion dollars. Most of those sales are within the mass market. And high-end cosmetics account for about 5% of sales. In terms of prestige cosmetics, the largest market is the United States, with the second largest market being Japan. And over the last couple of years, prestige cosmetics have actually grown the fastest in the UK, with the second highest growth rate being in the US. Sundari, co-founded by model Christy Turlington, is a skin care line based on the Indian philosophy of Irebada. It’s attracted consumers in seven countries, and its top-selling nighttime nourishing oil sells for 125 dollars. So while the uncertain economy has consumers sacrificing in certain areas, that’s not the case when it comes to saving face. -
Eyes Talk For You
I know a lot of people feel really uncomfortable when people
stare at them, but it doesn’t bother me so much. I think there usually is a reason for them to do so. Maybe they like what I’m wearing. Maybe I remind them of someone they know. Or maybe they are just observing how tall I am! Anyway, I guess they don’t mean any offence. They are just friendly and curious. Personally, I’m always curious about the people around and I know I would stare at others more if it wasn’t “against the rules”.In Asia, it’s not culturally impolite to stare and as a white person, people really tend to stare at you. I know that a lot of travelers find it very offensive, but in Nepal, I learnt that the best thing to do was to stare back at the person staring at you. Sometimes it would take a full 10 seconds or more of staring and smiling but eventually the other people would start to smile and you felt a real connection. Actually it’s really amazing what you can say with your eyes alone.
However, have you ever wondered what happens if you do break the eye contact rules? That must be very terrible! If you do the wrong things, there must be a trouble waiting for you. Don’t try it easily.
So whatever you go in the world you can say a lot without even opening your mout. The problem is that sometimes what you are saying with your eyes depends on where in the world you are. One thing is for sure, though. Wherever in the world you end up, a friendly look and a smile can open doors. So I challenge you to go out there and let your eyes do the talking.

The Colors of Friendship (2)
Purple rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke
with great pomp: “I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: “Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.”
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightning. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: “You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued: “From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.”
And so, whenever a good rain washed the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, to let us remember to appreciate one another, to live in peace.

The Colors of Friendship (1)
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All
claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the most beautiful, the favorite.Green said: “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”
Yellow chuckled: “You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow; the moon is yellow; the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet: “I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don’t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise of sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another through to any of you.”
Red could stand it no longer. He shouted out: “I am the ruler of
all of you. I am blood—life’s blood! I am the color of the danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy!” -

Depression Is Treatable
You must have a short time you feel depressed. That is quite
normal. You will find that everything is very hard and difficult to do when you feel depressed sometimes. But when you’re feeling completely out of whack for a couple of weeks, and life has become a real drag, things are serious. So how can you tell the difference between being depressed or just being in a down mood?The first step is to understand depression. It’s like an ongoing state of being totally bummed out. Many things can trigger it, like the death of someone close, unhealthy relationships, family financial difficulties or being the victim of any kind of abuse.
The next step is to pay attention to your moods over a set period of time (like a week) and rate your feelings on a scale from one to ten. Maybe you are just a tad moody—maybe it’s more. Could be the lame weather. On this type of day you’re probably a one or a two in terms of feeling sad. When you have bad premenstrual syndrome, you may be a three. When you get around six or seven, depression is real. Your grades may begin to slip, and you may have trouble getting out of bed. When your depression lasts more than two weeks, and you have four or five of the symptoms, your depression is serious and you should talk to someone, like a family doctor or school counselor. Whenever you have depression of nine or ten, which is when you just don’t feel like living anymore, you must get help immediately. Fortunately, depression is treatable. In most cases, you can get rid of it with medicine or possibly going to talk-therapy with a professional therapist. -
Chatting on the Internet
Next to e-mail, the most popular activity on the net is chatting. And if you ask someone what they talk most about the Internet, chances are they will answer that they like to chat. This seems especially true of the younger generation.
Chatting is like any other social interaction. We all know that if we go into a group of people at a party or at school and start screaming or start asking everyone their age before we even say hello, we aren’t going to make many friends. Chat rooms are different. Below are some tips that will make you chat experience friendly and fun!
Walking into a room and demanding age or sex is the most common mistake a new chatter makes. Most regular chatters will ignore the question and you. In a community such as Youth Tech you will usually find people of all ages and backgrounds. That is the fantastic thing about online chatting. Don’t limit yourself. Talk to everyone in the room equally. You will soon know who shares your interests and who doesn’t. If you prefer a one-on-one type of online friendship then maybe you’d better look for a pen pal.
Shy? Lots of people feel shy when they enter a chat room where everyone seems to know everyone else expect them. It’s really easy to feel left out. The best way to lose that feeling is to make yourself feel that you are not a stranger.
Basically the best way to have a good chat experience is to be yourself and friendly. Try to join in the conversations going on and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Do remember, however, not everyone is going to be nice and friendly. The same as at school, there is also going to be a few people that are rude and just make you feel rotten. The best thing to do is just ignore them. Arguing with them will just make it worse. Show that you are better than they are by just refusing to let them get to you.
