  According to this article the best healer for acne is Thyme!  ...I plan to order some tincture from the UK-- at Fushi

  I also use something similar to your sister (well one of several things); it's called Nelsons Pure & Clear Acne Gel .  Also, Manuka oil is similar to Tea Tree, and is also from NZ., but it's not quite as irritating.  Manuka honey is also great for healing the skin (esp. things like MRSA, or surgery wounds-- it has something in it called "Unique Manuka Factor" or "UMF").  Egyptian black seed cumin oil is also antibacterial (I buy Amazing Herbs brand; FYI, you can take it internally as well- it's a great EFA!).

  Within the last few months I decided to go as natural as possible when it comes to my skincare and makeup.  It was a bit of a challenge, cause I was stuck on this particular line, and overwhelmed in finding a whole new regimen. 

  There's a nice online database that is very informative about cosmetic lines, and whether the ingredients are harmful to your health (scale of 1-10); it's called the  Environmental Working Group or EWG

    I recently found this online store that sells a wide variety of items-  from makeup, to skin care, etc. (they're natural/organic, and especially for those with sensitive, allergic skin types)Natural Joy Beauty ; I particularly like the Lauren Brooke  makeup line (what's nice about this site is that you can get almost everything in sample sizes, mostly in the .99 cent range)!  I also like 100% Pure Healthy Skin Foundation with Super Fruits SPF 20  (cheaper to buy on Amazon, being you can usually get free shipping), as well as Earth's Beauty  mascara.

   Jane Eyre  just last week-- can you believe that was the first time I've read it?!  I've had the book for around 10 yrs., but never got around to it until after I watched the newest adaptation.  I've been on an English Lit. kick this year (Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South , JA's Sense & Sensibility)!

  Graham cracker?  A nut (almond, hazelnut, walnut) cracker like the ones by Blue Diamond  (I favor the hazelnut myself).  An oat craker (seriously, try Nairn 's-- they're from Scotland but you can find them online, like Amazon)... that was actually the last thing I ate peanut butter with.  I've now moved on from pb, because the Valencia (organic) from Arrowhead Mills has disappeared (or turned into a "blend).  Lately I've been into Maisie Jane's (organic) almond butter, and Artisana  coconut butter (INSANELY good!)

  OA , I'm not a whiz, but I wonder if you should try another browser?  Like Firefox.  I quit IE a long time ago!

  Maybe contacting Adobe would be helpful?

  Also a side note.. I didn't know about this until about a week ago (the link is included to find out if you have it or not):

  Wow, I've never heard of an adult having their baby teeth still!  But won't your adult set grow in? (you said something about getting them replaced) 

  I do know someone who has their wisdom teeth come back after having them removed though (they're in their 70's).   ..Mine (wisdom) are still coming in; they're mostly out, but the bottom backs seems to be slow moving (I'm 28).

  So I'm planning on making a laptop purchase (my first ever).  Do any of you have any good or bad experiences with ASUS? 

  The one I found has some really nice spec's (and great reviews *19 five stars* on Amazon; a few by some pretty savvy tech guys), but I'm still a little worried about the brand.  One site gave it (the brand, not the laptop) a #5 on their 2012 list.  I'm so torn because this is a MAJOR purchase, and I dread having to deal with customer service if I ever have a problem.  Anyway, I'm just throwing it out there for opinions!  Thanks in advance!

  Ugh, we can't catch a break can we?!?  I stopped voting before I got blocked;  I'm going to do like someone said-- vote like 30 at a time then stop for a bit.

I cant vote until 11.. Update??

  Keep voting; it ends TOMORROW at 12 (noon) pm. EST (which is NYC time)!

 

 

i was thinking it ended at midnight.  hmm...that kinda sucks, actually...especially if we get the lead.  people will be in school or work at that time. 

  Nope, here's the direct quote from this link  (but this might be a good thing, like some people said- most of their fans might be in school then, so if we get a lead we may be able to keep it): "Voting in round two of MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands runs until noon ET on Monday, April 30. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Tune in to AMTV and MTV Hits for their boy-band video takeovers each day and make sure to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!"
