I Love My Magical Pills

Photo by Zoe Cusker. When I was in Toronto, I stumbled upon a miracle. A real humdinger. A secret worth guarding — if only I were good at keeping secrets. Well, what then? Don’t keep us in suspense. Okay. I found magical pills. Really: magical.

Here’s how it breaks down. One day I left my friend’s house in search of some multi-vitamins, having run out of them the day before. (Also, I am a vitamin fiend; I have favourite brands & everything.) I walked down the street to Shoppers, this Canadian wonder-store which basically sells everything you could ever think of, & after spending much time in the make-up aisles (as you do), I made my way to the vitamin section. I didn’t recognise any of the brands, which was very frustrating, but knew I needed to pick something, so cast my eye along the shelves.

I saw this bottle which said Multi+ Daily Glow on the front, & on a whim, I picked it up to read the label. It said,

Helps improve skin firmness, appearance & texture. Helps control acne. Maintains good health. I turned the bottle around in my hand to check the ingredients. As well as the usual combination of vitamins & minerals you’d expect in your average multi-vitamin, it also had collagen, white tea extract, pomegranate extract, grape extract & lycopene. I checked the price & it was about what I’d expect for a bottle of vitamins, so I threw it in my basket & didn’t give it much thought.

Scene: a week or so later. I notice that my skin is looking really good. Really, really good. It’s glowing, even without make-up. It looks clear & feels fantastic. I figure it’s just a coincidence. My skin continues to look totally rad, all day, every day, & I’m really happy about it, but not thinking about it much. Until I run out of pills. My skin returns to its normal state, which is pretty good but nowhere near as great as it was when I was taking the Multi+ Daily Glow. Okay, it’s not a coincidence any more. The pills actually work?!

I decided to do some research, so I went on the website of the company which makes them: Genuine Health, who are based in Canada. They have consumer reviews of their products on the site, & the reviews for Multi+ Daily Glow are staggering. From there, I discovered another product they offer, called Perfect Skin. Check out the reviews on that one — & it’s the same all over the web. Hello, sold. I placed an order for both immediately.

Ordering vitamins from Canada is a mega-pain, because they always stop the packages at the border. I don’t know what they do with them, maybe the people at customs have a little marching band & they need to shake the bottles for percussion, & maybe they had a recital for a WEEK or something, but ANYWAY, it was worth the wait. Big bottles of magic showed up at my doorstep a few days ago, & I am already seeing the difference they make.

I am so happy.

They’re so incredible that when the Sunday Telegraph/Herald Sun approached me to ask about my beauty secrets, they were the first thing I thought of.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it. If you’re eating deep-fried nonsense every day but slathering on $500 face cream every night, what goes INTO your body is ultimately going to win. Beauty starts on the inside, & while eating a perfectly balanced, 100% organic, yadda yadda diet is ideal, we can’t all do that. So this is a great place to start.

I wanted you to know. Plus, what kinda girl would I be if I didn’t share secrets like this?!

If you take them, have taken them in the past or order them based on this review, I’d love to hear if they work as well for you as they do for me! Posted by: Gala      Read more     Source

Coors Light and Bud Light Marketers Exchange Opinions

Bud Light has launched a billboard ad campaign in Toronto.... in response to the Coors Light controversy that stemmed out of British Columbia last week.

It didn"t take long for the marketing minds at Anheuser-Busch (a Labatt partner), who make Bud Light, to respond with their own take on the debate. The Bud Light ad sign above, in copycat layout style reads "Torontonians aren"t cold. Not in August, anyway," and was spotted by blogTO reader Ian S. at the corner of John & Adelaide today.

Where Did All My Free Time Go?

As of last Friday, I have a new employer and it turns out that he hates when I"m on the computer instead of paying attention to him. We"re both healthy and happy and doing well at home :)

There probably won"t be much activity on the blog until we are settled into a new routine. In the meantime, I invite you to read the blogs linked on the right hand side of this page. Thanks for reading!

Oven Fresh Pie a Snap

Homebake Pizza Company in Roncesvalles is totally a breath of fresh air in (or a splash of delicious tomato sauce). I tried it for the first time the other night and it proved to be an immediate cure for the dismay I experienced the last time I ordered delivery pizza.

Using organic flour doughs along with all fresh (many organic and gourmet) ingredients, Homebake Pizza Company brings a new twist to pizza options in Toronto. The catch? They make it, and you take it home and bake it. And devour it with delight. And vow to never again buy cardboard-like grocery store frozen pies or order nasty, soggy messes delivered to your door.

Coordination needed to support green-fingered youths

The project, which was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), observed that a number of young volunteers travelled long distances from cities to short-term projects in rural areas and felt they were being punished for being disruptive or naughty at school. They saw the conservation work as having no relevance to their future employment, or educating them on green issues.

'The problem lies in the mismatch between youth services and environmental education,' says Dr Michael Leyshon, who led the project. 'Environmental conservation is largely organised by people with a background in environmental science, but no training in youth work and youth workers have no training in conservation. The result is that young people and the environment both lose out. We need more coordination in the voluntary sector and an effective interface with youth services.'.

Dr Leyshon acknowledges that a number of young people do volunteer because they enthusiastic about conservation, but he says that environmental skills should not be seen in isolation. 'There is a need for more certificated courses, in a variety of 'rural' skills, such as those run by the National Trust. But we also need to think more holistically, and try to connect skills-building with supporting local transport, training and business support as part of an overall regeneration policy.'.........

Hire a Good SEO Specialist for Promoting your Online Business

Are you looking for a Search Engine Optimization

Choosing the right SEO specialist

There are certain factors that you need to keep in mind when seeking the right SEO specialist to get SEO services.

(SEO) specialist? Remember it is not a difficult task to get an SEO specialist, but you need to be really careful. The aim is to get your website a good ranking in the search engine results page for drawing in traffic and boosting your online business. Make sure that your purpose is being fulfilled.

• Remember that SEO specialists who offer you fast results are not always providing the best services. It is a fact that a website will take about 4 weeks for being enlisted in the search engines; if your specialist is offering you submissions in a shorter time then you might want to look into the matter.
• It is also better to know that guaranteed services always do not mean reinsurance. A site may claim that they can get your website to the number one position in search engine results pages, but that might not be true and the site may fail to deliver.
• It is not a good idea to go into SEO work blindly. Make sure that you are well aware of where you stand before and after.
• It is wrong to assume that high prices mean better quality work and affordable prices mean low quality work. There are many SEO specialists who provide superior quality work for affordable rates. SEO is a kind of Internet marketing campaign, so it will not come for very cheap prices.
