Oh dear, quite long but here we go!

Serena Rose: Very pretty name, I like the syllable count because I'm quite fond of the 3, then 1 syllable balance, its very fluid.

Amelie Marcheline: This name still is and always will be brilliant, again I love the breath of eccentricity the French background gives the name, it's very fluid and interesting.

Aubrie Willow: Perfect! I'm so excited about this combination, I think it flows very well and my view of the spelling stays strong, much more feminine than Aubrey!

Camilla Madeleine: Still overthemoon amazing, it's such a beautiful coimbination, it's feminine but not "flowery" and I really like the nickname Cammie. (Sorry had a dyslexic moment there...Millie is cute too but I prefer Cammie)

Coralie Ambrose: I don't really love either name, Coralie isn't bad, but it's just not my style, and Ambrose still sounds sort of invented, it'd grow on me but in due time.

Dakota Rosalie: Very pretty, I think Kota is a cute nickname, Dakota has always been one of my favorite gender-neutral names and Rosalie is very beautiful and old-fashioned without being too "dated"

Kara Erin: My complaint with this one remains, it's a bit too rhymey for my taste, I like both names, and in that order (where Kara is only appealing as a first name and Erin only as a middle) but I don't prefer them combined.

Lily Claire: Still beautiful, simple, clean and classic, I could imagine this on both a child and adult: very becoming.

Logan Isabella: I've always thought of Logan as more of a feminine name, Isabella flows very well with it, I love the syllable count and name as a whole. It'd be fun to say Logan Isabella, all stern and angry

Matilda Alice: So adorable, I love this, it's got the perfect fluidity, again three syllables and then one is amazing, so anyway, this is a keeper.

Rosalie Grace: Very pretty, classic and feminine without being frilly and overly-complicated. Rosalie works well with something simple and versital.

Seattle Emerose: So that's where the importance comes from, well I don't personally like either name, if I were you and I really wanted to use Seattle I'd consider it with a middle name she could fall back on. Both names seem a bit childish/unconventional. I'd go with something like Seattle Rose "Rosie". Seatle Ember "Emmy"

Boys:

Gabriel Blake: I love Gabriel, I don't really like Blake but this name is still 10/10, you could name him Gabriel Starr Alyssa Carmendy Fawndicimo and I'd still be like "wow I love Gabriel!" It's just how I am

Hayden Chase: I notice the alliteration in this too with the similar 'a' sound, but it's not as bad as in Kara Erin, I think this could work, I don't particularly love Hayden but it works.

Noah Austen: I love Noah, and I prefer your previous combination of Noah Gray which had better fluidity and was more masculine. Noah Austen is a bit hard to say because the names run together. The similar sounds at the end of Noah and beginning of Austen are a bit clashy

Salem Colbat: Much better, I don't love either name but together they seem very masculine. Would it be completely ridiculous of me to tell you that the name Salem reminds me of something uncommon and related to magic. Like I think of the name Salem and then I think, well that's interesting enough, sort of like Pandora. You think of them as names but you'd never actually use them kind of thing

Thaden Nathaniel: I prefered Nathaniel Chace, it's 10 million times better than this name, Thaden seems invented (I'm sorry to say it) and as I think I mentioned before I'm not fond of the "aden" trend, it's just boring and redicioulsly overused. I mean what's next Quaiden? Swayden?

Weston Carmine: Cute, I prefer Weston Carter but this name works just as well as far as overall contrast of theme goes.

Cassidy Alyssa: It flows very well, I think Cassidy is darling and Alyssa was a complimenting middle name choice.

Thomas Matthew: It's great, it flows well and sounds very masculine and sophistocated, Matthew Thomas also sounds nice.

Overall I really like your naming taste!

The Most Important Lipstick List You’ll Ever Read

You know the lipstick you wear, that indispensible cosmetic made of pigment and wax that you ingest on a daily basis? That’s right -- ingest. As in “absorb and take into your body.” Guess what?  That lipstick isn’t much different than a wax crayon. Surprised? Check out these Wax Facts:

 

• Glamour magazine reported that women inadvertently ingest about four pounds of lipstick in a lifetime, though no studies back up this claim. Nevertheless, every time a woman licks her lips, she swallows some of the wax, which is what binds the pigment and preservatives, which in turn contain lead.

 

• The pigments used can include iron oxides, dyes, pigments and additives. The color pigments contain aluminum and other metals such as lead. That’s right -- lead. Lead is present, in trace amounts, in almost all dyes and pigments that are used as an ingredient for cosmetic color.

 

• Chronic and constant lead exposure can lead to severe neurological problems, particularly in children, including reduced cognitive abilities, irritability, headache, lethargy, and hyperactivity and in some cases insomnia.

 

• A 2004 survey of nearly 6,000 girls found that 63% age ten and younger used lipstick.

 

• According to study results released by The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a national coalition of nonprofit health and environmental organizations, more than 60% of 33 brand-name lipsticks contain lead.

 

• Presently, lipstick labels do not and are not required to list lead as an ingredient. Even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects all pigments before they are sold as an ingredient to be used in a cosmetic formulation, all formulations are different, so the amount of lead cannot be determined, thus is not required to be listed as an ingredient. Note: the more pigment used in a formula the higher the lead level. In addition, one-third of these 33 lipstick brands contain amounts of lead that exceed the limit set by the FDA for appropriate levels in candy -- 0.1 parts per million (ppm).

 

• There is no limit set by the FDA for lead levels in lipstick.

 

• Studies shows that the lead levels in lipstick range from 0.03-0.65 ppm. Researchers have yet to test individuals wearing lipstick, especially those lipsticks with high lead levels, to see if those individuals have elevated lead levels in the bloodstream.

 

• Most lipsticks contain anywhere from 3% to 17% pigment. You can test any lipstick to see if the lead presence is high enough to be concerned.

 

• A lead test can be done by applying a streak of lipstick on the hand and then rubbing it. If the lipstick leaves a black faint line -- it contains lead.

 

• Lipstick is made from taking a color mixture and grinding it into oil such as propylene glycol which is readily available and inexpensive to use. Propylene glycol has good solubility and it is quite synergetic with the standards for lipstick production. Propylene glycol has been found to cause cancer.

 

• Lipstick color mixtures are added to wax, such as candellila, bees wax, and paraffin, just like a crayon, which is color pigment mixed with hot paraffin before cooled. The wax for both lipstick and crayons creates binding and molding properties which enable the lipstick and crayon to be formed into a solid.

 

• Lipstick ingredients are melted together with some form of humectants and blended with animal fat oils such as cholesterol and animal-by-products like lanolin. Shea butters and other oils keep the lipstick formula moist and slippery. Sizable amounts of preservatives are used to keep bacteria from growing as well as to keep Shea butters, and the like, from going rancid in the initially warm and sticky lipstick mixture.

 

• While hot, the lipstick mixture is poured into metal molds to maintain its stiffness as it solidifies. A flame is then passed over the mixture to create a smooth and shiny finish, and remove any imperfections. Metal or plastic tubes, capped off either by hand or by machine, are used to contain the cooling mixture then readied for market to be sold as the commonly used substance  --  LIPSTICK.

 

• Long lasting lipstick requires more pigment, more heavy wax and other additives.

 

• Manufacturers add aluminum to give lipstick a frosted look. They also add sunscreen and other protective elements to try and create what consumers will think is a more “health-friendly” product.

 

If you’re wondering where lipstick even came from, historians believe lipstick was probably invented by the Egyptians. In some of their hieroglyphics, the eyes and mouth are detailed with radiant color. To create the ancient cosmetic, Egyptians used vegetable matter colored with cinnabar, plant dye, iodine and bromine carmine known to us today as beetle wings. Some of these ingredients are not considered safe by today’s standards, but as a whole, they are much safer than what manufacturers use in basic lipstick formulations.

 

Any healthy ingredients like botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and organic live ingredients are rendered useless in a solid pre-cooked crayon-like wax that we call lipstick.

 

We’ve been subjected to the “Lipstick Paradigm” for over 60 years with little improvement. Not a lot of thought has been put into keeping lipstick an ECO and sustainable product.

Starting With Postage Stamps Accumulating

There are lots of that revel in collecting. I do know my mom enjoys gathering just about anything, and the upstairs of her home proves simply that. So much have a far narrower focal point however, and they make a choice just one or two things to form collections. What each and every person does will depend on what they prefer, or they'll find something that may be fascinating, and may also be worth a bunch of cash one day. The ones are the type that most often like initially postage stamps collecting. This interest can be numerous fun.

Earlier than you begin, you will have to be informed all you'll about postage stamps. There are many that are price a lot of money, but as you might suspect, the ones are the toughest to find. As an alternative, begin to in finding out what some of the most commonplace are worth, and learn how onerous they are to find. Some like to begin via getting each and every new stamp that comes out when they get started postage stamps collecting. They may not be value anything more than their present worth these days, but they may turn into a valuable part of any collection of postage stamps in the future.

Much like baseball playing cards and comic books, you want stamps which are in very good condition. A few call this ‘mint’ however that is hard to find. You do need the most productive you'll in finding when doing postage stamps amassing on the other hand, so don’t go for the primary of any stamp you find unless you are aware of it is extremely rare. Every other good thing to know about postage stamps amassing is that those that experience not been cancelled out by the submit place of work (ones that experience now not but been used to ship mail) have essentially the most value.

Most likely an important a part of postage stamps accumulating is to know the way to handle your stamps. You'll get the rarest stamps on the earth however they don't seem to be going to hold so much worth if you don’t know how to deal with them and make them last. You'll in finding the correct how you can maintain your stamps by looking around online for advice, or through getting books printed to lend a hand the ones in postage stamps amassing to benefit from their stamps and their (expectantly) rising value. As with most paper products, air, dust, and humidity would possibly cause damage, so stay those all in mind while showing or storing your collection.
