Monsanto

Here is my rant for the day.  I have been reading about a company named Monsanto and how the genetically engineer seeds.  They basically are making super-crops.  These crops can withstand any bug you throw at it.  I read something the other day that said they are injecting a toxin into corn seeds and this toxin is supposed to make a bugs' stomach explode after they eat it.  WHAT??!!!  The bug explodes.  Well I just had to look into this a bit further.  It doesn't really make the bug explode it more or less dissolves the bug.  Can this be safe?  Research now shows that this toxin (which is supposed to wear away before the corn makes it to the store) has been found in people who ate the corn.  Several large chain stores like Trader Joes and Whole Foods have already banned the Monsanto corn from their stores.  But the one store that is holding steady in their fight to keep Monsanto corn is Walmart.  Oh of course, Walmart would be the store that would keep toxic corn on its shelves.  That may explain some of the fabulous shoppers that inhibit Walmart.

Gym Friendly Make-up

Ok ladies, we have all been there.  You head to the gym with full make-up on and end up with breakouts the day after.  All that make-up clogging your pores while you sweat up a storm.  I used to have that problem all the time.  My skin was tempermental to begin with but it was a disaster after a hard workout.  I have found some great make-up that covers yet allows your skin to breathe.  I currently use PUR Minerals 4 in 1 pressed mineral make-up with SPF 15.  It provides buildable coverage.  I don't recommend this make-up for those of you with dry skin because it tends to adhere to the drymess making you look a bit flaky.  I also tried the primer and liquid make-up but wasn't real thrilled with the results.  My skin looked and fealt oily after using them.  I have also used their eyelid primer that has worked great holding my eyeshadow in place.  I will put a link in the sidebar for the PUR Minerals 4 in 1 pressed mineral make-up.  I have found the best deals on make-up at Amazon.com.  It's only a savings of a couple bucks but in this economy a couple bucks sure adds up.  Besides you can use that extra money to find a super cute eyeshadow or some hot earrings....: )
