Ten Ways To Eliminate Puffy Eyes

1. Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.

2. Apply hemorrhoid cream (look for brands that contain ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil) to the puffy area. Insiders have known for years that in just the way it gets the swelling out of that other area, it works the same way for the face. For similar beauty tips, come see us at

3. Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes.

4. A black tea bag soaked in cold water on each eye for ten minutes will reduce swelling caused by fluid retention. Gently press from inner to outer corners to hasten drainage. Moistened caffeine tea bags will also work the same way by reducing puffiness because caffeine constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling.

5. Avoid salty foods, which cause the under eye area (and the rest of your body) to hold fluid.

6. Elevate your head when you sleep, to keep fluid from settling around your eyes and keep swelling down. For similar beauty tips, come see us at RedHeadedTrip.com

7. A few egg whites, stiffly beaten, and applied with a brush to the face and under the eyes will make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy. Add a drop or two of witch hazel which also reduces swelling and will keep the egg whites from drying to rapidly.

8. Making sure you are drinking enough water will also reduce eye puffiness. When a person is dehydrated the body starts storing water as a defense system and this will add to puffiness around the eyes.

9. Contact lenses should be removed before going to bed, to avoid puffiness caused by lens irritation and drying.

10. Rinse your face in cold water when you wake up or when puffy eyes attack anytime of the day to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This is a great energizer.

Becoming a Healthy Eater

Becoming A Healthy Eater by Ginger Malone

Being a healthy eater requires you to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating actually is. Being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it about studying labels and counting calories.

Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate eating, consisting of healthy meals at least three times per day. Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group.

Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway. You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.

A healthy eater is a good problem solver. Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and their eating with sound judgment and making wise decisions. Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies.

When someone is unable to take control of their eating, they are also likely to get out of control with other aspects of life as well. They could end up spending too much, talking too much, even going to bed later and later.

You should always remember that restricting food in any way is always a bad thing. Healthy eating is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle. If you've thought about making your life better, healthy eating is just the place to start. You'll make life easier for yourself, those around you, and even your family.

Better Tanning Through Chemistry

Better Tanning Through Chemistry By Kelli Whitlock Burton Science - NOW Daily News 20 September 2006

Redheads rejoice! Scientists have found a way to chemically stimulate the tanning process without sun exposure. The approach not only offers the pallid that elusive bronze tan but could also one day reduce the risk of melanoma--a cancer that kills 6000 mostly fair-skinned people a year in the United States. The prevailing theory of how skin tans posits that ultraviolet (UV) light damages the DNA of cells called melanocytes, causing an overproduction of the darkening pigment melanin.

But a report in tomorrow's issue of Nature reveals that UV light actually harms keratinocytes, the most plentiful cell type in the skin. Once damaged, the cells release melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), a compound that binds to a receptor on melanocytes called MC1R, which in turn stimulates the production of melanin and darkens the skin. The finding explains why many people with fair skin and red hair can't tan, says lead study author David Fisher, a medical oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and Children's Hospital Boston.

According to a 1995 study, these people tend to have a mutation in their MC1R gene that prevents MSH from binding to the receptor and signaling melanin release. To see whether there's any hope for the tanless, Fisher's team applied a topical cream to mice genetically altered to have fair skin and a dysfunctional MC1R receptor. The cream contains a plant-derived chemical called forskolin, which bypasses the receptor, directly activating a series of reactions normally stimulated by MC1R. In just a few weeks, the fair-skinned mice turned dark brown. Tests revealed that the melanin in the darkened mice was chemically identical to melanin produced in normal mice. What's more, the newly bronzed rodents gained benefits usually attributed to darker-skinned people: When exposed repetitively to UV light, they were far less likely to develop skin cancer than were mice that received no forskolin. But don't rush out and start rubbing yourself with plant extract. Forskolin probably has too many side effects for human use, says Fisher.

However, he notes, several currently available drugs stimulate the same pathways as forskolin, including some prescribed for asthma. "We don't know yet whether [these results] will hold up in humans, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that that would be the case," says Meenhard Herlyn, a tumor biologist at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Work with human skin has already begun, says Fisher, who hopes to report preliminary findings in about a year.

Origins of Red Heads

Red Hair…Origins
By Ginger Malone


Origins of Red Hair

In the UK red hair is generally associated with people of Celtic descent, i.e Scotland and Ireland. It is believed the people of Scotland came from 5 different ethnic groups who occupied or invaded northern Britain in the dark ages. In all of recorded history, red-haired people have never been mentioned as a group except by the Romans.

The 'Picts' where foes who the Romans fought and were described as having red-hair and 'large limbs' by Roman historian Tacitus. Modern historians with the help of anthropologists have placed red-hair as a unique characteristic belonging to the Picts, who were characteristic to what is now regarded as Scottish.

As far as the world-wide distribution of red-hair is concerned, it would be fair to say that the majority may well have descended from this North-Western European region, although as with all variations between people, mutations in genes can occur and be maintained in any population provided there is no detrimentus effect to the populations growth.

Scotland has the highest proportion of redheads of any country worldwide with around 13% of the population having naturally red hair. A further 40% of Scots carry the Mc1r variant gene which results in red hair. Ireland has the second highest population of naturally redheaded people in the world, amounting to about 10% of its inhabitants.

The results of a 2001 study, by University of Edinburgh and University of Oxford teams of geneticists led by Harding and Rees caused some to speculate that the gene responsible for red hair may have originated among the Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago.[1] Red-haired people would then be descendents of Neanderthal admixtures to Cro-Magnon, and would have spread from the area of Neanderthal-Cro-Magnon contact.

Red Heads…. Other Interesting Facts and People By Ginger Malone

Queen Elizabeth I of England was a redhead, and during the Elizabethan era in England, red hair was fashionable. This was also the case during the rule of redhead Oliver Cromwell.
The famous children's book character Pippi Longstocking (Pippi Långstrump in Swedish) by Astrid Lindgren had bright red hair which she wore in pigtails that stuck out to the sides. Little Orphan Annie and Anne of Green Gables are also depicted with red hair.
In several Muslim countries such as Iran and Pakistan, henna is used on greying hair to give it a bright red appearance.
It is often the case that ginger hair can darken considerably as people get older, becoming a more brownish color, and if not, it may at least lose some of its vividness. This phenomenon leads some to associate red hair with youthfulness, a quality that is generally considered to be desirable.
This "gingerphobia"[ has been satirised on a number of TV shows. The British comedienne Catherine Tate appeared in a running sketch in an episode of The Catherine Tate Show in which she was forced to seek solace in a refuge for ginger people; the pejorative use of the word "ginger", and related discrimination, was used to illustrate a point about racism and prejudice in the "Ginger Kids" episode of South Park; and the British comedy Bo' Selecta! featured a spoof documentary which involved a caricature of red-haired Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall presenting a show in which celebrities (played by themselves) dyed their hair ginger for a day and went about daily life being insulted by people.
Go figure….In Australia, red haired people are often given the ironic nickname "Blue".
The Sherlock Holmes story "The Red-Headed League" (1891) was a favourite of its author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and included a sub-plot revolving around a pseudo-society restricted to redheads.
According to English legend, King Arthur had long red hair. Many Arthurian myths end with the promise of his return in Britain's hour of need. Important British figures like Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Winston Churchill, both redheads, are said to be the fulfillment of this legend.
In Pop Culture, the famous red heads include:
