Have you ever sat on the beautiful beach at Noosa or walked through the National Park and thought “thank goodness there is no high rise in Noosa”?
In 1969, Noosa Council had approved a high rise development on the beach side of Hastings Street and in the late 70′s was proposing a 12 storey limit on the other side of Hastings Street. Today, there is a humble three storey limit. How this
Why Is Natural Skincare Better Than Regular Skincare?

Everyone knows what skincare products are don’t they? They’re products to make your skin look younger and healthier, and to make your wrinkles go away.
But what exactly are “natural” skincare products, and what do they do?
Yes skincare products are all about making your skin better and healthier. Sometimes these products work and sometimes they don’t.
But they’re marketed to make you believe that your skin will look younger.
But although mainstream skincare products may often not work well they can have another more serious problem. They can contain questionable, and often dangerous, ingredients that may damage your skin and your health.
This isn’t just a problem of mainstream skincare lines, it’s also a problem of many cosmetics too. I’ll give you one fast example. It’s only one example, but there’s many more, and there are entire organizations set up to combat this problem.
A study done recently found lead in over 50% of big name lipsticks tested. And it’s not good to get lead in your system. See what I mean?
There’s plenty more examples of dangerous ingredients in skincare products, cosmetics, personal and beauty products.
How can this be? Surely our government protects us from this? No. The FDA isnt required to test the safety of these products, or how well they work. So these companies can use them, usually because they’re cheaper than the natural alternative.
So there are many people turning to natural skincare products, and there are many new natural skincare companies taking advantage of this. So what is natural skincare?
Well there’s no definition, so what it is is hard to say. Basically its supposed to be a natural skincare line that doesn’t contain dangerous ingredients, and ideally should work well. But natural products can have their problems with dangerous ingredients too, because as with other products they aren’t tested by the FDA.
So there’s a dilemma. If big name skincare products can contain dangerous ingredients and even some so called natural products can too how do we find the best natural skincare line? One that is safe to use and works well.
There are ways to find out. I tell you on my website about the process that we use to find a natural skincare line that is both effective and safe to use. The best news is that there is a natural skincare range that is both very effective and safe to use.
And even better news is that the company that makes them is so proud of them that they actually offer you a money back guarantee on them.
Now that is extremely rare in the skincare industry.
There’s skincare companies that would go broke doing that, so that says a lot about their products.
Visit my website to find out which natural skincare products are safe to use, effective and fully guaranteed.

I am reading a very enjoyable book called Adventures in Caravanastan by Greg Bearup (published by Random House Australia, 2009). It is the story of his one year trip around Australia in a caravan with his partner and toddler. He writes fascinating stories about local people in the places they visit. Reading the chapter on Bruny Island off southern Tasmania, was kind of excruciating – only
