In Helena Frith Powell’s delightful book “All You Need to Be Impossibly French,” the pre-pubescent author meets Sophie, a Parisienne so impossibly chic that she is, so to speak, the word made flesh. Sophie tells her that all she really needs to be a Frenchwoman are two lipsticks and a lover. This simple, straightforward statement puts the priorities of the Frenchwoman into perspective.

Finding that perfect shade of lipstick has an almost spiritual significance for her. And every time she glides it over her lips, she takes pleasure in that feminine gesture, at once so mundane and yet so sensual. And more than likely, that perfect shade will be some shade of red. Frenchwomen truly love their red lipstick.

Just as the internet culture has opened up great new ways to communicate – it has also provided a whole new way for psychopaths to con and manipulate people. On the blog: Exposing Online Predators and Cyberpaths the hope is to educate more people about what is out there online.

It’s not my intent to stop people from online dating and chatting and this site is not about online predators who target children – but those who target other adults. It is a problem that needs to be addressed. Right now, as internet law stands, these victims have little to no recourse because the very nature of the “crime” as well as the place it happened – is so new and uncharted legal terroritory.

Oily hair can be a pain and is a common complaint among persons who have acne problems. Oily hair is difficult to manage, can be limp, and hard to style. A common misconception about oily hair is that it is caused by an oily scalp. The exact opposite is usually true. A dry scalp causes the oil glands in the scalp to produce more oil, and once on the scalp, this excess oil transfers to the hair itself. Therefore, to treat oily hair, one of the best things to do is focus on the dry scalp. Some people produce a lot more oil than others. There is nothing you can do about it other than frequent and regular shampooing with a mild shampoo.
