fruity_graphixIf you're a friend/family member that has come to read my journal, and can't see any entries except this one anymore, just go make a journal, comment on this entry with who you are, and then I'll add you. Sorry. I just had to do this. I don't want everyone in the entire world knowing everything... and since I write everything... well, this is how it goes.

I have to do this. And instead of the normal, comment if you want to stay thing, I'm just gonna do it.
If you dearly want to stay, I have nothing against that, but if you agree, then it's cool too, just delete me from your friends as well.
If there's any more of you that don't want to be FL'ed too, just lemme know. No hard feelings.
lifehitmeoneday I just don't relate to you anymore. I hope all goes well with your wedding, your boys and everything. I don't want this to be a drama thing, we just don't ever comment, and I find myself skipping your journal a lot lately.abesmyman amartinde cheesemaker73 fish_in_agean grubsters machy milkyway_andrea I never see anything from you guys, no posts, no comments... so... yeah...
This is not an "I hate you" thing. Even if it was, it's just the internet guys. Most of you I don't even know in real life. I just kinda want to make my circle, even be it my internet circle, a little smaller...
But again, if you want to stay, then by all means, speak up!

If anything drastic happens to you guys leave me a link here, and I will read it! Otherwise, I have no idea how long it will be till I actually see it! :D

If any of you do traveling, keep safe! Keep safe on New Year's Eve as well! But have TONS of fun!
kthartline lifehitmeoneday machy celestialmarvel notbikiniready numbisanoldhatthinkdanniI just saw a great news story about these on CNN. Apparently you can buy one of these laptops for your child (VERY childproof computer) and they only cost $399.00 and then $200 is tax deductible because when you buy one, they give one to a kid in a developing nation. They can give these out and they have over 1,000 books on them which cuts down the costs of books to the schools. These computers are making children go to school!
Anyway... go check it out. It's really a win win situation!
During pregnancy, it is prudent to remember that anything you put on your skin will get under your skin and potentially reach the fetus -- including harmful synthetic chemicals used in many over-the-counter body care products. When it comes to the delicate skin of your baby, it is even more important to use only those products that are gentle and nurturing. According to the Good Housekeeping Institute, 60 percent of the products that are put on the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream be it moisturizers, shaving lotion, makeup or cologne.
Very few brands are truly natural. In fact, something that is labeled as being "natural" may be mixed up with synthetic dyes or fragrances. Many expensive products are full of the same ingredients and harsh chemicals as the less expensive brands. And, many "common" synthetic ingredients are now being linked to conditions such as allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, testicular abnormalities, decreased sperm counts, and breast cancer. See www.ewg.org to find safety ratings of your personal body care products.
The FDA has banned just nine chemicals from cosmetics compared to the European Union which has banned more than 1000. Be sure to read the ingredients of all the products you use on yourself and your baby to ensure that you are, in fact, paying for the best.
Below is a list of the some of the most prevalent ingredients found in "natural" body care products and their effects on the human body. Again, read your labels carefully!
1. Ceteareth-6 — The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel has placed a warning on this ingredient that it be excluded from products used on injured or damaged skin.
2. Coal Tar — in 1993, the FDA issued a warning to consumers about coal tar being a possible cancer risk. Coal tar appears in many hair dyes and strong dandruff and psoriasis shampoos, but the FDA failed to ban it even though studies have linked it to cancer in lab animals. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that 71 hair-dye products contained ingredients derived from coal tar.
3. Diethanolamine (DEA) or Triethanolamine (TEA) — These chemicals are often used as wetting agents, pH adjusters, as well as with many fatty acids to convert acid to salt (stearate), which then becomes the base for a cleanser. TEA causes allergic reactions including eye problems, hair and skin dryness. Both DEA and TEA are highly susceptible to contamination with nitrosamines, known to be potent carcinogens.
4. Imidazolidinyl Urea and Diazolidinyl Urea — The most commonly used preservatives after parabens, these are well established as a primary cause of contact dermatitis (American Academy of Dermatology). They release high amounts of formaldehyde. Two trade names for these chemicals are Germall II and Germall 115. Neither of the Germall chemicals have good anti-fungal properties, so they must be combined with other preservatives. Germall 115 releases formaldehyde at just over 10°.
5. Mineral Oil — A petroleum derivative that is found in many moisturizers and causes severe allergic reactions.
6. Parabens — Methyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Ethyl — Widely used as cosmetic preservatives and antimicrobials, even though they are known to be toxic and a leading cause of contact dermatitis. In addition, methyl paraben combines benzoic acid with the methyl group of chemicals, which are highly toxic. These can appear on labels as p-hydroxybenzoate (or PHB) esters. Some studies have shown that parabens mimic estrogen in rodents. The chemicals also have been shown to stimulate growth of human breast-cancer cells in the lab. A University of Reading study, published in the January 2004 Journal of Applied Toxicology, found that 18 of 20 breast tumors studied contained significant concentrations of parabens.
7. Petrolatum — This is a very cheap jelly made from mineral oil that causes such skin problems as photosensitivity and interference with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, which leads to dry skin and chapping. Oddly enough, this product often creates the very conditions it claims to alleviate!
8. Phthalates — generally covered by the general term "fragrance," and readily absorbed by our fingernails, skin and lungs. In July 2005, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported finding the metabolized forms of dibutyl phthalates, used in nail polish and synthetic fragrance, in every person tested in their national "body burden" study. Phthalates can lead to liver cancer and birth defects in lab animals. A study published in May 2005 from the University of Minnesota, Environmental Health Perspectives, found a connection between phthalates and genital abnormalities in baby boys.
9. Propylene Glycol — Ideally this ingredient is made up of a vegetable glycerin mixed with grain alcohol, both of which are natural. Usually however, it is a synthetic petrochemical mix used as a humectant, or substance that promotes moisture retention. In its synthetic form, it is known to cause allergic reactions, clogged pores, and blemishes.
10. PVP/VA Copolymer — This is a petroleum-derived chemical used primarily in hairsprays and other cosmetics. Since the particles may contribute to foreign bodies in the lungs of sensitive persons, it is considered toxic.
11. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — A synthetic substance primarily used in shampoos for its detergent and foam-building abilities. It can cause eye irritations, skin rashes, hair loss, dry skin and allergic reactions. It is frequently disguised in pseudo-natural cosmetics with the parenthetic explanation that it "comes from coconut." In a 1983 report on the safety of sodium lauryl sulfate, The Journal of the American College of Toxicology concluded that "studies have indicated that sodium lauryl sulfate enters and maintains residual levels in the heart, lungs and the brain from skin contact."
12. Stearalkonium Chloride — This chemical was developed by the fabric industry as a softener, and it is cheaper and easier to use in hair conditioning formulas than proteins or herbal components. It can cause allergic reactions.
13. Synthetic Colors — Synthetic colors are used to make cosmetics "pretty" and, along with hair dyes, should be avoided as they are believed to be cancer-causing agents. They appear on labels as FD&C or D&C, followed by a color and a number; e.g., FD&C Red No. 6 / D&C Green No. 6.
14. Synthetic Fragrances — Synthetic fragrances can contain as many as 200 ingredients. There is often no way of knowing what these chemicals are since the label simply states "Fragrance", and these items do not have to list their chemical constituents. Potential problems caused by these chemicals are headaches, dizziness, rashes, hyperpigmentation, coughing, and vomiting.
