How I recovered money from a fraudulent order

I thought I was recently fleeced for the purchase of a beauty tool I made online. No goods arrived after nearly a month and no updates were given about the status of the shipping either. After I wrote to the store, they claimed that they did not receive my money. Good thing was that I paid via PayPal and I remember they have a resolution centre to faciliate purchase disputes. Leon of Beauty Secrets Revealed also confirmed that she had successfully made various claims through their resolution centre and so I went ahead to make my claim. Well, three weeks after I filed my claim, the money is back in my account.

12 anti-inflammatory ingredients against UV

Early this month, I covered the best and safest sunscreen ingredients, and in that entry, I wrote about the effective ingredients that either reflect the UV rays or absorb the UV rays.

Hence, in choosing a sunscreen, it is important to also look for those containing anti-inflammatory ingredients that can prevent damage caused by the UV rays. Here is a list of 12 that I’ve come across or read about; the list is not meant to be exhaustive so feel free to add on in the comments section if you know of others.

Natural breast firming cream: are you game?

Some months ago, I received an email asking if I was willing to try a natural herbal cream that will increase my breast size. I deliberated over the offer for awhile but decided to turn it down. I used to be a cup C but shrank to a cup A promptly after I stopped breast feeding my son. So yes, I do need some help to augment my bustline but I just wasn’t ready to experiment at that time.
