Keepin’ it Real With a Product Review

May 16, 2013 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Not everything has to be related to the ghetto-fabulous lifestyle we blog about every day, does it?

I was approached by a company to do some PR, so I’m going to gear some of the posts towards that mission now and maybe earn a few bucks in the process.

Today, I’ll talk about something trending online: lifecell reviews.

LifeCell Skin Care is a name that some may have heard and others may have not. This is due to the fact that it is relatively new in the market. However, being new doesn’t mean it is not promising. Today, we are going to discuss this product, see what it has to offer, how much it costs and all other details about it in this LifeCell Skin Care review.

I’ve talked about another skin care product in the past and touched on the importance of having good skin over here, so it’s a topic I’m familiar writing about.

LifeCell Skin Care promises getting rid of wrinkles, lines and all other skin associated problems that make you look older in ‘seconds’. While this may be an over statement and a fine example of over advertisement, it still doesn’t mean that all faith in the product should be lost.

What Is LifeCell Skin Care?

To start of this review, let me tell you what LifeCell Skin Care is. It is an anti aging skin cream that promises to help one get rid of all marks of aging in first few days of use. The product has received high ratings amongst those who have tried it as the common opinion is that it is an effective cream to use.

My opinion about the cream is quite mixed. When I tried it out the first time, I instantly noticed that it is very easy to apply and is not oily at all. This is something I like about it the most because I personally start feeling dirty if I feel that I have a layer of anything on me; be it any cream or moisturizer. However, the case with LifeCell was different as it did not feel that there was something on my face at all. Additionally, another thing that I noticed about it is that it absorbed in the skin quickly and again, it didn’t feel like that there was something on me after I applied it. I personally loved these two things about the cream.

Additionally, after applying the cream, you will instantly notice a glow / shine on your skin. That glow will not be due to the oil that is left behind after the cream’s application but because the cream leaves a shiny touch behind. Moreover, it is also very safe to use the cream with makeup. I personally don’t think anything could go wrong if you use it with makeup as it didn’t with me.

In terms of application of the cream, I didn’t find any issue but there were some serious concerns that I had with the cream that I will discuss later.

Ingredients In LifeCell Skin Care

One question that buyers have before buying a product, especially if it is a skin related product, is that whether it is safe to use. To find that out, it is important to shed light over the ingredients of the product in question. There are plenty of ingredients in LifeCell Skin Care but there are a few important ones that make it effective. Those are:

Deanol: Deanol is known to act as a muscle firmer. Deanol helps in the production of acetylcholine, an agent that helps in making the skin firm. Additionally, it also tones the muscles beneath. If Deanol is used for a long time period, you will feel the difference in your skil. Deanol helps in providing a natural skin lift and helps in making the skin healthier and wrinkle free
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3: Acetyl Hexapeptide 3 is the magic ingredient of LifeCell Skin Care. This is because it is an ingredient that is an alternate to the very painful Botox process. Acetyl helps in improving the skin without causing pain or harm
Dithiolane -3 Pentanic Acid Anti Inflammatory and Anti Oxidant: this is a worldwide anti oxidant whose main aim is to remove wrinkles and all other free radicals from the skin. Because of this ingredient, you will get healthy skin cells
Ubiquinone: this again is another powerful anti oxidant that really helps in improving the skin tone and provides the skin an overall fresh look. Ubiquinone is another powerful ingredient in LifeCell Skin Care that is not found in many other anti aging creams

There are plenty of other useful ingredients in LifeCell Skin Care but the main ones have been discussed above.

Working Mechanism of LifeCell Skin Care

After discussing the ingredients of LifeCell Skin Care, I personally don’t think that I should mention anything else about its working mechanism. What makes any product effective is its ingredients; the ingredients are what makes it work and what doesn’t. With so many useful ingredients in the cream, it is easy to understand how it helps in making the skin firmer and younger looking.

Affordability and Effectiveness

LifeCell Skin Care is effective but a proper comparison of its effectiveness can be done by contrasting it with its price. LifeCell Skin Care is available for a hefty price tag of $189.99. If the cream is compared to other anti aging creams in the market, it would be suffice to say that it is definitely a lot, a lot more expensive. There are other anti aging creams that are available for a price tag of $80 and even $70-$50. However, again, as I mentioned earlier, the price of the cream should not be judged alone, neither should its effectiveness.

The next question is: is the product effective? Yes, LifeCell Skin Care is effective but it does not work like magic as one would expect due to the price tag it comes with. When I started using the cream, for two weeks, it didn’t feel that I am using such a costly product. However, the results were felt in the 3^rd week. I would say that the results are felt but the process is slow. Few months before I got LifeCell Skin Care, I tried out Derm Exclusive by Beachbody and I personally think that its results felt much more quickly than LifeCell Skin’s.

On the other hand, since the price of the product is high and the results are felt later on, you may see many people criticize the product.

Bottom Line

To conclude my review, I would rate LifeCell Skin Care by giving it a 7.5 on 10. I have deducted a few points because of different reasons. One is that it is not as effective as one would assume after watching its advertisements. Moreover, price is also a big concern with LifeCell Skin Care. People who have a lot of money at their disposal and can spend close to $200 on an anti aging cream without thinking twice, spending on LifeCell Skin Care will not be a problem. However others will definitely think twice before making a move. In its favour though, the product is not a total waste as some say it is and most importantly, it is extremely safe to use.

Additionally, there is a chance that it may not work as effectively as it might on others.

It’s been a while since we made fun of how things work in the ghetto.

So today, enjoy a montage of some of the funniest wedding photos collected over a weekend of doing nothing but perusing the web for funny content.

Enjoy with our regards and please read our tips on how to pose for your wedding photos. You may just learn something.

“Dude, I gotta crap. Like now.”

“Eminem would be so proud of me.”

In Wisconsin, I’m pretty sure this is considered normal. Odds they will date in 15 years are at 5 to 1.

So was this just bad lighting or did they try to make her had appear like a shadow?

I feel inclined to make a meth joke here, but you can just choose your own caption.

“Hold on, she’s pinching off a loaf…..and I just lit another Camel.”

Weddings are usually a blur, but this gives this statement a new meaning.

Some people love movies and pop culture. Some people clearly need help. These people took things a step further.

Posing for your wedding photography – Let’s Not Be Ghetto!

How you pose for your wedding photos will greatly determine how your photos will look like. Some brides do not have the slightest idea of how they should pose and solely depend on the photographer to give directions. Having an idea of how you should pose will be very essential for an aspiring bride as she can start practicing the poses and have them perfect on her wedding day. Following is some guidelines to help you come up with the best poses for your big day

Your wedding photographer is experienced and knows some of the best poses you can have. Talk to your photographer and organize with them on how you can have some coaching. Some of the poses may feel unnatural but with practice you will get used to them and you can do them with some ease on the big day. Try doing some research by reading some fashion magazines or researching from the internet to enrich your choice for poses. Practice some of these poses that you feel you would like to have.

Remember not all the poses will be suitable for you and therefore concentrate on those that you feel you can be comfortable with. It is very important to be sincere with yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and be honest on what you like and what you do not like so much and what you would not like to come out in your photos. That will help you choose the poses that will bring out what you like most about yourself. Make sure you settle on poses that you are very comfortable with and which you won’t strain too much .Posing in uncomfortable ways will show on your face and will not bring out the best .Also make sure you can breathe well and feel relaxed in that particular pose. Get advice on how you should stand before the camera according to your size and shape. There is a way you can stand and look very wide and just adjusting a little will give you a much slimmer and sexy look.

The photography exercise should not make you nervous but rather you should relax and have fun. Here are some tips to help you relax and produce more natural poses.

Electric Smoking Leaves No Signs of Graffiti

March 20, 2013 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

“Ash” from a cigarette could be called a “trace” of a cigarette. A piece of graffiti, if you will. These electronic cigarettes, which I’ve spoke of before on occasion here, and here, are becoming a type of smoking that do NOT leave a trace of nasty smell, waste, and a reminder that someone was smoking these tobacco products.

Smoking Graffiti.

If you haven’t heard of the electric cigarette, my buddy dale writes about electronic cigarette smoking quite well. While I’m behind on the topic, I have found myself fascinated with these devices and hope every ghetto starts catching onto this new fad.

More Graffiti involving Smoking.

The electronic cigarette recently entered the market and has created itself a flourishing industry of thousands of users and hundreds of manufacturers. The history of the device goes back as far as 1963, where Herbert Gilbert, came with the first ever design of a cigarette that would work using a battery. This design did not make it into the market due to many reasons. The typical electronic cigarette that we see today was made possible by Hon Lik, a pharmacist and inventor from China. His design was an immediate success in the market and it was soon acquired and brought into the United States. Now several manufacturers have edited the design but the core operational principles remain the same.

How does an electronic cigarette differ from a paper cigarette?

The electronic cigarette is a battery powered design. It uses patented technology to completely eliminate the process known as combustion, hence killing all the harmful chemicals that enter the lungs when a typical paper cigarette is smoked. An electronic cigarette consists of a battery, an atomizer and a cartridge. Instead of smoke, it produces a thin and odorless vapor which dissipates into thin air when exhaled. Hence the device can be used in places where a paper cigarette is banned.

Is an electronic cigarette safe?

The electronic cigarette has enabled the user to get a simulated smoking experience without the harmful chemicals that are produced in the process of combustion. But it has not yet been approved by the FDA to be a completely safe product. This is because the product is still young and according to researchers, a product younger than 10 years does not give enough statistical data to complete a research. The electronic cigarette uses an ingredient known as propylene glycol combined with water. This ingredient is typically used in many other products and FDA has claimed it to be safe.

What are the different advantages and disadvantages of using an electronic cigarette?

The electronic cigarette mostly offers benefits to its users in terms of value and health. But like any other product on the market, electronic cigarettes do have their disadvantages. Following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of an electronic cigarette:

Advantages

Electronic cigarettes can be used in public places where paper cigarettes are banned.
Electronic cigarettes eliminate the harmful combustion of a paper cigarette, hence offering a healthier alternative.
Electronic cigarettes allow you to experience a simulated smoking experience using several flavors that are otherwise not available in paper cigarettes.
Using an electronic cigarette, you have the choice to decide what nicotine strength you want. This is similar to smoking ultra lights, lights, medium and full flavor cigarettes.
An electronic cigarette cartridge can easily outlast a typical pack of 20 paper cigarettes, offering you better value in all aspects.

Disadvantages

Certain electronic cigarettes use cheap and low quality material that can result in nicotine poisoning. Always choose a brand that is recognized and only produces high quality products.
Electronic cigarette is an electronic device, hence it can fail anytime and the replacement process can often take time.
Some electronic cigarettes completely fail to offer satisfaction. The intended simulated experience is never achieved due to low quality battery or cartomizer.
Based on design, some electronic cigarettes can be hassle to construct for new comers. The popular design these days is a two part design which does not require the user to fill up the cartomizer before using. The user only has to screw the two parts together to start vaping.
Electronic cigarettes that portray an identical design of a paper cigarette can often lead to misunderstandings when used in public places. If you intend to use an electronic cigarette in a public place, get a design that looks less like a paper cigarette and more like an electronic device.

Ever Smoke Review: Far From Ghetto

March 4, 2013 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

EverSmoke is a sister company of South Beach Smoke. If you are familiar with the electronic cigarette industry, you may be well aware of South Beach Smoke Company. The company has developed a significant fan following and it has been honored by many awards. The company earned itself a name because of high quality products it has produced over the past few years, but why did it need a sister company like EverSmoke? Knowing both brands through and through, I can say that both the brands share many attributes, so what makes EverSmoke unique? The only difference between the two is the set of flavors that are offered. Apart from that, I’ll outline everything that you need to know about EverSmoke in detail. There are also other thoughts about the brand on this Ever Smoke review.

Revolutionary two part design

Just like South Beach Smoke, EverSmoke electronic cigarette is composed out of the two part design. For those of you who do not know, the two part design consists of the battery and a cartomizer (combination of cartridge and atomizer). The two part design has quickly become the standard of the industry as many manufacturers now dump the old three part design.

The two part design has immediate benefits for the user. It is easier to use and produces better sensations overall. The two part design also eliminates the problem of nicotine or liquid leakage that is so common in a three part design. So basically saying, the two part design is a step forward for the industry in providing convenient products to its customers.

Apart from that, everything that was included in my starter kit showed signs of high quality manufacture. The chargers, USB battery and carrying cases are all top-notch and never give away the feeling of holding something cheap in the hand.

The excellent battery design is hard to be missed

One of the best things EverSmoke has to offer is its battery. The battery is pretty much the core component of an electronic cigarette and that is why I am dedicating a paragraph just to discuss it. First of all, EverSmoke uses the very well known battery model to construct its electronic cigarette. The benefits of using technically advanced battery push the limit of the electronic cigarette in many ways. For example, the first immediate benefit is more vapor and flavor produced by the battery. The second immediate benefit is longer charge life.

EverSmoke offers three kinds of different batteries all suited to individual needs. In order to know which battery suits you the best, you must determine what kind of smoker you are. If you are a very heavy smoker, you should opt for the high capacity battery which aims at giving you maximum number of puffs with stronger results. If you consider yourself a regular but not so heavy smoker, you may find the Standard Battery a great option for you. If you are a casual smoker, than your best option is the mini battery. Remember that the size and weight of the electronic cigarette entirely depends on the battery. The bigger and more powerful the battery, the larger and heavier the electronic cigarette gets.

Now that we know the different kind of batteries available to choose from by EverSmoke, it is also necessary to understand which battery mode works the best for you. Currently nearly all the brands available in the market offer automatic and manual batteries.

In my opinion, the better of the two is the manual battery. This is because you can determine the strength of the vapor by manually controlling the liquid vapor flow. In automatic battery, you do not get to control the vapor, it works when you puff on it. So it is always great to have a little control over your device rather than let it have the complete control.

Presentation is a key point in an electronic cigarette

I believe that a lot of people agree that presentation of a device plays a huge part in an electronic cigarette. Thankfully, the design and presentation of EverSmoke electronic cigarette is on par with its sister company and all the other big brands. EverSmoke offers battery in three different colors and finishes. The best thing about the presentation is that it does not try to replicate the looks of the paper cigarette.

I have tried several brands, out of which many brands try to replicate not only the feeling, but the looks of the paper cigarette as well. The resulting product feels bad because in hopes of achieving a similar feel, many brands use cheap plastic coating over their batteries. EverSmoke does not offer a battery that will replicate the paper cigarette on a hundred percent note; instead the battery comes in a smooth matte finish that feels excellent when held in hand. My belief is that if you are holding an electronic device, it has to look and give a modern look, and that is exactly what EverSmoke’s battery does.

Unlike many other top brands in the market, EverSmoke has put a crystal LED light at the tip of its battery which is a further compliment to its presentation. The light turns bright whenever you puff on the e-cig, giving a warm and beautiful look. Other brands in this area install a cheaper version LED light made out of plastic which often doesn’t give such a warm feeling or look.

Better sensations due to better cartomizers

EverSmoke uses the same technology to produce its cartomizer that South Beach Smoke uses. The cartomizer is named ‘VaporMax’, which is pretty evident from the first time you puff on this electronic cigarette. The VaporMax technology enhances the production of vapor. When I puffed on the electronic cigarette provided by EverSmoke, I did feel a little difference. The cartomizer is definitely aimed to provide you with a better flavor and vapor.

Another thing that I believe you should be aware of is ejuice leakage. This term is quite simple to understand just by its name. Many cartomizers produced by manufacturers can cause the liquid nicotine to escape the atomizer and leak out. This is a serious health concern and can cause nicotine over-dosage. The only way to avoid this health concern is to make sure that you buy a quality product. With the standard EverSmoke use to produce its cigarette, this problem is completely eliminated.

EverSmoke achieves safety levels by using the VaporMax technology which puts in a unique silicon at the base of the atomizer. This prevents the liquid to leak out, and even if there was ever a leakage, the design enables the user to realize immediately. In my opinion this is a great plus point for the user.

The more the flavors, the better the deal

Earlier in this review, I discussed that the only thing different between South Beach Company and its sister company EverSmoke is the offering of flavors. First and foremost, the flavors offered by EverSmoke are exclusive to this brand. The success of a brand speaks through the flavor it offers because that is what the customer is expecting with the end product.

EverSmoke offers following flavors to choose from:

EverSmoke Menthol

This is probably the only different menthol flavor in the electronic cigarette industry. I have tried different menthol flavors by different brands. Nearly all menthol flavors are identical in taste, but EverSmoke Menthol excels itself by offering a unique taste which is not only smooth but also very subtle to your lungs.

Classic Tobacco

No electronic cigarette is complete without the classic/traditional tobacco flavor. If you are here just to avoid paper cigarette while keeping the sensations same, this is the best choice you have.

Very Vanilla

This rich, smooth and creamy flavor has become a very popular choice amongst e-cig users. This is because a flavor such as this can only be found exclusively available to electronic cigarettes. The taste is subtly sweet. Very Vanilla works great on early morning puffs on a holiday.

Coffee Creation

This is an excellent flavor. It blends coffee, sugar and cream together to form a very rich and smooth flavor. Don’t expect to receive caffeine like sensations after your vaping session. But if you love the rich, creamy taste of coffee, you are bound to fall in love with this.

Cherry Crush

If you love exotic fruits that give you a refreshing feeling, then you are about to discover a great new place to go to feel refreshed. This flavor holds the burst and juicy nature of cherries which sends waves of pleasure down the spine. I’d highly recommend this flavor just for its refreshing nature. If you are a cherry lover, imagine having cherries on any day of the year through your electronic cigarette. It feels great doesn’t it?

How much can you expect to pay for all this?

EverSmoke start kits start with $59.99 and go all the way to $159.99. There are plenty of options to pick up from. For reviewing purposes, I got the ultimate kit which includes everything and more by the brand. For new comers, I’d suggest going with the express kit because it is tailored to be used by the curious.

Other than that, nearly all the accessories and extras you need are available on the official website of EverSmoke. For new comers, I’d suggest going for the Reusable Express kit which costs only $29.99. It comes with one lithium ion powered battery and a USB charger. EverSmoke also includes the classic tobacco or Menthol cartomizer for you to check out.

Once you have tried the electronic cigarette for yourself, you can go for their ultimate starter kit which in my opinion is the best valued offer. The ultimate starter kit includes two batteries (one high and one standard capacity), 1 wall charger, 1 USB charger, 1 carrying case and 15 cartridges (you choose the flavor and nicotine strength upon ordering).

Are Gold Teeth Considered Art?

February 11, 2013 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Gold teeth are something you can find in just about any urban area across the world. As most people mimic the actions of their idols, gold teeth are certainly becoming a typical move among urban men who seek attention and draw comparisons to their favorite hip hop stars and professional athletes.

Are Gold Teeth Considered Art?

This could be argued from both sides.

I’m going to say NO, gold teeth are not artistic in any way. YES, they can be considered a fashion statement, but they are not art in any way. There is nothing artistic about a mouth full of metal, whether it’s braces or the latest bling bling money can buy. Sure, hip hop stars like Lil Wayne have gold teeth from time to time, but that doesn’t change my mind.

Tattoos Can Be Art

A tattoo can be art. In fact, many people get tattoos that represent something from their past. In my mind, that’s art at it’s finest – giving recognition to an event or person that will be etched somewhere in society forever. Even if we don’t last forever, the point got across. Sure, some people get some really dumb tattoos – just look at this guy below! That’s not art, that’s just someone being a whackjob!

Some people will think of gold teeth as an investment. I don’t know if there are any markets to sell gold teeth, but I do know that gold as an investment is a smart play. Precious metals in general are always smart because they are commodities, and they are hard to produce and bring into society. If you just look at the prices of gold over time, you’ll see that gold is on an eleven year bull run. That’s a pretty solid run and I can’t think of any other commodities that have had similar success.

I’ll leave you all with some pictures of gold teeth that I thought were funny!

And that, everyone, is what we do here at ghetto-art.com. Come back soon!

Bad Skin Is Ghetto. Read the Anti Ghetto Skin Care Tips

February 4, 2012 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Tips for Healthy Skin

There are an infinite number of websites and blogs that offer tips for healthy skin. Rather than search here, there, and everywhere, check out the top tips collected here to help you maintain gorgeous healthy skin now and always.

Tip #1: Pay Attention to Triggers

Many skin problems come from environmental factors such as diet, exposure to toxins or chemicals, and poor skin care practices. It is easy to discount the effects of one food or another, considering the way that different people react differently to trigger foods, but your diet still matters. Remember the idea that eating pizza gives you pizza face? Thousands of people eat pizza without breaking out, and yet for others pizza might be a legitimate cause of skin problems.

The fact is, what you eat may not be as important as how much of a trigger food you eat. Have pizza once a month and you probably will not react. But if you eat pizza every day, it’s likely the oil will start to have an effect on the health of your skin. There may not be tips for healthy skin that focus on a single food or beverage, but in general you should pay attention to what you eat and manage your diet carefully for the best results.

Tip #2: Quit Smoking

This would be the number one tip if everyone smoked. While everyone has to eat, nobody needs to smoke cigarettes. There are so many reasons to stay away, including the serious health hazards that cigarettes pose and the fact that your entire immune system is compromised when you are a smoker. And yet, so many people continue to smoke cigarettes anyway.

Perhaps a less dangerous result of smoking cigarettes is the effect smoking has on your skin. The top tips for healthy skin that stays looking young include avoiding cigarettes like the plague. Smoking cigarettes is one of the worst things you can do if you want to avoid wrinkles. Anti-aging skin care specialists will tell you the same thing. Smoking can actually speed up the aging process considerably.

Tip #3: Research the Products You Want to Try

Okay, this may seem obvious. With all the information out there, of course you will do some research or at least read a few skin care reviews before buying a product. You would be surprised at how often people are fooled by the information they find on a company website, forgetting to check for third party reviews before buying.

Take your time to find reviewers who have had the same skin issues that you have. If you have oily skin, find other people who have solved oily skin problems with high quality products. Read reviews about products that did not work, so you know what to avoid. Reviews and information online can provide a lot of tips for healthy skin that you wouldn’t even expect, so never forget to do the research first.

Tip #4: Don’t Give Up Too Quickly

If you have skin problems, it is unlikely that you are feeling patient about finding a solution. Unfortunately, most skin problems are not solved overnight. Proper skin care is something that builds up over time, and the results may not come about as quickly as you would like. Stick with a product once you start. You may find that within a week you will see visible improvements and within a month you will once again have the skin you want.

Giving up quickly on skin care products is a big no-no, because if you do not give a product time you may be missing out on something that will eventually work the best for your skin type. This is one of those tips for healthy skin that nobody wants to hear: be patient. Good results are worth waiting for, right?

Tip #5: Pay Attention to the Weather

Too much sun can be just as bad as too much dry, cold air. Your skin is effected by everything it comes into contact with, and keeping yourself safe from the elements can do a lot for you.

When it is sunny out, use sunscreen. And not some sunscreen that you found from a few years ago – buy some new sunscreen that is pH balanced and gentle on your skin, especially if you plan to use it on your face. Expired sunscreen is useless, and cheap sunscreens can contain chemicals that do more harm than good. If you live somewhere where it is hard to avoid the sun, consider wearing hats and generally staying in the shade when possible.

And if you live somewhere cold? Use moisturizers religiously. The best time to moisturize is when you get out of the shower or just after washing your face. Your pores will be open and you can absorb some of the moisture in the air and on your skin. If you wait until your skin feels dry to moisturize, you will be behind the curve. The damage is already done when your face feels dry or like it is going to crack, so get into the habit of moisturizing regularly.

Final Tips for Healthy Skin

While this one isn’t in the top five, it could be switched out for any one of those top tips for healthy skin: get into a routine with your skin care habits. Rather than waiting until you have a problem, focus on maintaining good skin care routines that ensure your skin is well taken care of. What your skin wants most is a consistent schedule of cleansing, moisture, and proper skin care.

Having the healthiest skin possible is more about being healthy and maintaining overall good health than you might think. Good diet, regular exercise, and regular skin care routines will put you on track to feel healthier overall. Good skin is about protection, maintenance, and consistency. If you find yourself stressed out and eating unhealthily, you will also notice a deterioration in overall health and in your skin health. There are plenty of tips for healthy skin, but the best is to always take good care of your skin.

How to NOT look Ghetto: Elite Serum!

December 8, 2011 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Wrinkle creams have come and gone for decades now. They started in the kitchens of our mothers and grandmothers who used products found in their pantry from honey and bananas to cod liver oil and avocados. Some studies show that a full 95 percent of the anti-aging wrinkle creams on the market don’t work. What is the woman of today to do? Take a look at Elite Serum.

Cosmetic surgery and Botox certainly are options but they can be intense especially when trying to treat the areas around your eyes. This is very delicate and thin skin. It deserves the best product with the highest likelihood of success. For the last two years, Elite Serum has proven over and over to do actually do what its manufacturer claims: “to work quickly and effectively to minimize the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes….”

This eye serum is a unique proprietary blend of protein and peptides combined with DNA precursors and antioxidants. The result is a highly effective, fast acting and safe anti-wrinkle product for the sensitive areas around your eyes. It also improves the tone, firmness and skin elasticity associated with a more youthful appearance.

Longevity scientists have long believed that the inclusion of DNA in some fashion is the future of anti-aging substances for skin. While science isn’t quite at the point where we can use our own stem cells to revitalize our aging skin cells, Elite Skin has certainly advanced the science of DNA rejuvenation with their product, Elite Serum. It was introduced to the market in 2009 and there have been no reports of side effects of either short or long term use despite the fact that this product contains a highly concentrated dose of pharmaceutical grade ingredients.

All of the ingredients in Elite Serum have been individually tested over a period of years. Europe has been in the lead in testing these types of cosmetic products for years and the U.S. is often the lucky recipient of their findings. Such is the case with many of the substances in Elite Serum. The company that produces Elite Serum is Elite Skin of Florida. As they are a U.S. company, they are subject to FDA guidelines and standards for cosmetic products. This is good news for U.S. consumers who often end up with products made in foreign countries with questionable ingredients. For those who are concerned, Elite Skin does not test its products on animals.

It is the combination of these time tested ingredients together with the DNA precursors which make Elite Serum truly a new and innovative anti-wrinkle serum. A little product goes a long way too, which makes it an affordable alternative to other cosmetic procedures. Point five ounces will provide sixty days worth of daily treatment. Human testing showed nearly immediate improvement in skin condition around the eyes. Sixty days would be more than enough time to see real results. Elite Skin stands behind its products with a money-back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

Second Hand Smoke Reaks Up Even Smelly Ghettos…Check the Alternative

August 30, 2011 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

When you are considering following the trend of thousands by switching over from regular tobacco to an E cigarette such as green smoke, you will of course need to know where you need to look in order to buy your new green smoke cigarettes. The good news for the consumer is that you can purchase your green smoke on line from the comfort of your home.

E cigarettes are generally sold on line, although some major tobacconists can also supply you with your new smoke. A lot of people love to visit their tobacconist shop in order to inhale the strong of fresh tobacco, all types blended into one. It is only unfortunate that once we light up as cigarette that lovely aroma of fresh tobacco changes for the horrid smell of smoke. This horrid smell of burning tobacco is what we aim to get rid of when we change over from our traditional brand to green smoke, making a choice that is altogether better for us and everyone around us.

So, when you want to try E cigarettes as a healthy alternative to your average cigarette, what better place to buy them expect on line.

Why It Is So Hard to Get Off the Nicotine Addiction

May 30, 2011 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Have you ever tried to stop smoking? There are slogans all over the place stating this and that about the harm of nicotine and its addictive properties. In fact, there are many organizations calling for the declaration of nicotine as a highly toxic and addictive substance which should be legally labelled as a dangerous substance equivalent to cocaine or even meth. What makes nicotine so addictive that it makes the smoker lose control simply thinking about quitting smoking?

It has something to do with the brain, specifically the dopamine pathways. The dopamine pathways are found deep inside the brain where satisfaction is the main goal. This is the pathway where a simple feeling of hunger can become a full blown craving and can only be satisfied when the peptides produced by the stomach signals the brain that it is full. Thus will the dopamine pathways signal the body that it is now satisfied. This is the same thing that happens to smokers.

It all starts out with a dare from a friend and a puff of cigarette smoke. The body will then take note of that particular chemical, nicotine, so the next time it meets it the body will recognize it immediately. At first the puffs of cigarette smoke is dictated by the psychological need to be accepted within a peer group, but gradually the nicotine becomes a substance in the body which will be seen as something essential. Soon, the psychological need is overwhelmed by the physical need of the body to get that substance into the body once again.

If the body or the individual stops smoking at this point, they will not get addicted to nicotine, but if the individual gives in to the mild craving, the mild need will soon turn to a full blown need, even more so compared to the need for food.

Soon, the body will crave the nicotine substance and become addicted to it. The dopamine pathways will recognize the need for it and will only trigger the satisfaction to the brain if it can get the substance into the body. Soon, the craving increases until the body can no longer ignore the need for the nicotine at all times.

The unfortunate thing about the whole process is that the addiction is not gradual, it is sudden and fierce. And once it takes hold of the body, the body will crave it to be present at all times. Any attempt to get off the substance will result to withdrawal symptoms which nobody really likes to go through – tremors, dryness of the mouth, hunger, nausea and more nicotine craving.

Unfortunately, those who are not willing to go through the withdrawal can attempt again and again to quit smoking but they can never really complete the process. What they do not know is that the more they attempt, the more the addiction takes hold.

It is really a matter of choice but the sad thing is nobody really wants to go through the difficulties of quitting smoking. If the determination is only enough to make the person quit, then there would be no need for nicotine patches and the like.

A Fabolous Rendition of a Cigarette – Ghetto Style

May 18, 2011 By admin_ghetto-art Leave a Comment

Initially, when the electronic cigarettes were first manufactured they were intended to serve as a smoking cessation device. But, it soon became known that this device does not serve the stated purpose, however it would be best to describe the device as a fantastic option to smoking. In the true sense, an electronic cigarette delivers the experience of smoking with greatly reduced health effects to that of the usual smoking which is the real reason of the growing success of this equipment. Although it claims to have only reduced effects, yet there is still health risks associated with it. Several studies have been also carried out on the device so as to understand its full implications and features.

The Food and Drug Administration which is the FDA strongly approves that electronic cigarettes should necessarily be classified under drug/device delivery. However, the court case which it filed in this regard was lost by FDA and the device is still classified as being a tobacco product. FDA carried out an in depth research on 19 brands of the product in May 2009 and the result of the study was that diethylene glycol was found as a residue in one of the cartridges and in addition to this, Tobacco-specific nitrosamines or TSNAs were also obtained. TSNA is known as cancer-causing agent and is a hazardous chemical on our body. FDA has raised concerns over electronic cigarettes on various instances that the incorrect marketing of this product may lead to young people and even children also using the product as there is lack of appropriate health warnings on the product. But, the Electronic Cigarette Association does not believe in the claims made by FDA and further states that there is lack of proof on the estimations made by FDA. There is also the American Association of Public Health Physicians or the AAPHP which also came out supporting the electronic cigarette and states that FDA should certainly reclassify electronic cigarette as a tobacco product and not as a drug delivery device. AAPHP has taken this stance on the product as it believes that second-hand smoke is significantly less with the use of electronic cigarettes.

The World Health Organization or the WHO clearly proclaims that it does not regard this device as a smoking cessation one and it has strictly instructed all brands to remove any indication in the marketing of the product which suggests that it is considered safe for use by the WHO as there are no clinical studies which support that the electronic cigarette is a safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy. Most of the manufacturers of the device promote it as an equipment which will certainly curb nicotine addiction; however, international health organizations strongly protest the marketing of the product as a smoking cessation device. In November 2009, an online survey was conducted on 303 smokers who used electronic cigarette and the result of the study was that they resulted in reduced health problems related to smoking such as less cough, higher ability to do exercise and better sense of taste and smell.

There are a number of electronic cigarette reviews posted on other websites about a new “make your own style” e cigarette. We thought it was so cool it could be called “Ghetto.” Check out these flashy designs of e cigarettes made by Premium Electronic Cigarettes.
