Well, worry no more. The popular science bloggers, The Beauty Brains, are back with another book full of informative and fun beauty advice. "It's Ok to Have Lead in Your Lipstick" starts by debunking what the American Council on Science and Health called the number one unfounded health scare story of 2007. And that's just the beginning: this book answers dozens of important (and some oddball) beauty questions that you're dying to know. Here's what else you'll learn... Clever lies that the beauty companies tell you. The straight scoop of which beauty myths are true and which are just urban legends. Which ingredients are really scary and which ones are just scaremongering by the media to incite an irrational fear of chemicals. How to tell the difference between the products that are really green and the ones that are just trying to get more of your hard earned money by labeling them "natural" or "organic." Written in a straight talk, fact based style yet laced with plenty of humor, "It's Okay to Have Lead in Your Lipstick" is an easy and informative read for all ages.

A unique, full-color compendium that celebrates and explores the enduring power and allure of the world’s most iconic lip shade, jam-packed with entertaining stories, anecdotes, little-known facts, quotes, and more than 100 gorgeous images culled from fine art, photography, and beauty and fashion editorial and advertising. “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” — Elizabeth Taylor Lipstick is the one makeup item most women can’t live without—and the most iconic shade is red. Exuding power, sensuality, allure, and mystery, red lips have been a constant of fashion for more than 5,000 years, beginning with Mesopotamian women around 3500 B.C. Throughout the ages, red lipstick has been a signature look worn by royalty, celebrities, and real women across cultures and geography. In fact, nearly all women own a tube of red lipstick, whether it’s the favorite shade they’ve been wearing devotedly for years, or as beauty boost they use for special occasions. Filled with a show-stopping selection of images and distinctively packaged—the size of a clutch, with a jacket printed with a matte, velvet, red finish—Red Lipstick is the only cultural history of this makeup essential available. Granted unprecedented access to experts and the archives of revered brands like Chanel and Elizabeth Arden, beauty writer Rachel Felder explores the origins and allure of red lipstick and illuminates its association with aristocracy, sex appeal, illicit sexuality, rebellion, power, glamour, fame, and beauty. She also spotlights the fascinating array of women who have worn it through the ages, including monarchs, suffragettes, flappers, working women in World War II, first ladies, political leaders, geishas, Hollywood sirens, rock and rollers, fashionistas, and more. Inside this enthralling book, you’ll discover why red lipstick makes women more attractive to others (and the science behind it); tips on choosing the most perfect shade of crimson; and a wealth of anecdotes, quotations, select literary excerpts, and trivia, such as the shade Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wore on her wedding day. Red Lipstick is packed with a museum’s worth of fine art, including both Man Ray’s photograph “Red Badge of Courage” and infamous painting “Les Amoreaux;” lush, rarely seen vintage magazine advertisements from stalwart brands like Guerlain and Dior; illustrations by renowned fashion illustrators such as René Gruau, Daisy Villeneuve, and Bil Donovan; artists Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edgar Degas, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Wayne Thiebaud, and Walt Kuhn; and images of famous red lipstick wearers including Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth II, Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Madonna, Diana Vreeland, Rihanna, Paloma Picasso, and many others. With its captivating, chic design, beautiful selection of visuals, and engaging, entertaining text, Red Lipstick is a classic, like the perfect red lip shade itself.
We live in a society where chemicals are invading every aspect of our lives, including the air we breathe and the food we eat. Moreover, there are more than 2500 potentially toxic chemicals in our cosmetics and body care products that most of us rub and slather onto our hair, skin, and nails every day. Every woman is at risk, but if you are an African American or woman of color, you bear a disproportionate burden of the toxins in cosmetics. Finally, a no-nonsense guide to the top 100 ingredients you should avoid when choosing cosmetics and body care products. Your health matters.
From Transplant to Transformation is the personal journey that I took from 2 weeks after my son was born to the day I created a program to help myself deal with the stress of that overwhelming situation and eventually save my life. I was well enough to donate part of my liver to my son but the stress of going through that process set me a little bit off balance mentally, physically and spiritually. The body is an amazing machine, and like any machine you’ve got to put the right stuff into it to get the most efficiency out of it. When you treat it properly you get the results that were intended. It’s usually after it breaks down, due to some form of stress, that we finally take a peek inside (or get someone else to do so) and begin asking questions. The body, like a machine, works at its best when everything is in balance. It knows what to do and how to operate at the highest level in a stress free environment, this balanced physical state is what I consider to be an individuals "perfect state of health and wellness”. The place I needed to get back to and the reason for the creation of my program. The body is superbly equipped to expel stresses that are “anti-body” on the inside with the aid of our fabulous liver and on the outside with the aid of our remarkable skin. Both of these organs are greatly affected by the toxins we expose them to daily and both, when not functioning at their highest potential, give us signs that the organism (our being) is at risk for an illness due to this dis-ease. My son Andrew is now a thriving young man entering his teens. You will learn quite a bit from his story and from my journey along side him. The 9 Principles of The Conscious Living Lifestyle are the end result of a blessing received by a mother and her little boy. This inspired the desire to help others learn how to create balance in the body by de-stressing it and maintaining that state of wellbeing with love and joy. This leads to an individually unique yet perfect state of health, wellness and beauty that I wish you to have at all times especially if you are going through a very stressful time in hospital yourself or with someone you are caring for.

Chemicals found in homes, schools, and workplaces are having devastating consequences on human health and the environment. Our Chemical Selves examines the gender dynamics associated with these everyday toxic exposures. Written by leading researchers in science, law, and public policy, the chapters in Our Chemical Selves reveal that while exposures to chemicals are pervasive and widespread, people from low-income, racialized, and Indigenous communities face a far greater risk of exposure. At the same time, the risks associated with these exposures (and the burdens of managing them) rest disproportionately on the shoulders of women. This collection hones in on the “political economy of pollution” by critically examining the system that manufactures the chemicals and the social, political, and gender relations that enable harmful chemicals to continue being produced and consumed. It also demonstrates the urgent need to revise existing approaches to the regulation of toxics, including Canada’s current Chemicals Management Plan.
Formaldehyde? Industrial cleaners? Fire retardants? These are not substances one expects to find in hand lotion or nail polish. Yet, there they are. Decreased sperm count? Increasing numbers of testicular cancer? Toxins in cord blood of newborns? Not anything one considers when purchasing shampoo. But the potential side effects are there. GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)? Not a rule one expects to be regulating the personal care products companies. Yet, it is one of the U.S. FDA’s guidelines for the industry. How safe does that make you feel… generally? All these and more are discussed within these covers. With a light-hearted tone, Cherry Staszczak faces the overwhelming and controversial topic of toxic chemicals in the highly unregulated personal care products industry. Garnering snippets of key information from credible sources, she compiles facts and figures into a manageable form that is easy to read, easy to use and easy to apply to everyday life. Sometimes earnest, sometimes humourous, Cherry offers us ways to get past the rhetoric and find safer, non-toxic options. Knowledge is power.
From different families and different childhoods, three women remember and speak out about the secrecy, silence, and shame of having an alcoholic parent. Through spontaneous writing with "loaded words" and person-to-person sharing, the women embarked on a transformative journey in which painful images were brought to light, were accepted, and became less painful. Transforming Memories is a collection of their healing writings and an invitation to others, whatever their past burdens, to use the technique of spontaneous writing to reveal difficult memories more clearly.
