Do you know that lip gloss does even more than make your lips pop and shine? Natural lip glosses are distinctively made from natural ingredients whose medicinal properties, when put together, improve one’s lips’ health.
This article covers three of the main components used in creating natural lip gloss and its associated benefits. Firstly, we will find out about some of the different types of lip glosses available before finally getting back to the three main ingredients found in lip glosses.
Types of Lip gloss
There are a few variations of lip gloss, all for different purposes. So, if you’re going for that classic 90’s shimmery look, then the shimmery lip gloss will do; if you’re looking for s…
Companies across the United States are in the process of bringing employees back to the office in 2021. Studies have found that 10 million Americans had shifted to working from home due to the pandemic. But now, they will need to re-learn how to socialize and get along with one another. Going back to the physical workspace after almost a year might be quite a relief though. Managers are likely to acknowledge, measure and take actions to alleviate employee concerns about returning to the workplace, which is the key to achieving trust, hope and stability, according to . You might also get to see your favorite co-worker and finally swap the kitchen table for a dedicated workstation.
But those looking forward to stepping out are in the minority. In fact, 29% in a survey of 1,000…

WASHINGTON, Jan 3 2008 (IPS) – When Maria, who asked that her full name not be used, began working as a New York City-area hair stylist almost 26 years ago, she had a client named Betty who would often show up to her appointments with serious-looking injuries.
A broken rib, a gash, a burn on her hand for each of these, Betty would provide Maria with a lengthy story about how clumsy she had been. And because she had good excuses, and maybe because I just wasn #39t too aware, Maria didn #39t suspect anything.
It was not until Betty and Maria had built a decade-long relationship of hair stylist and client that one day Betty broke down and revealed to Maria that her husband was abusing her. Maria was not only upset and saddened, she felt moved to do something…
WASHINGTON, Jul 6 2010 (IPS) – The bicycle has many attractions as a form of personal transportation. It alleviates congestion, lowers air pollution, reduces obesity, increases physical fitness, does not emit climate-disrupting carbon dioxide, and is priced within the reach of the billions of people who cannot afford a car.
Bicycles increase mobility while reducing congestion and the area of land paved over. Six bicycles can typically fit into the road space used by one car. For parking, the advantage is even greater, with 20 bicycles occupying the space required to park a car.
Few methods of reducing carbon emissions are as effective as substituting a bicycle for a car on short trips. A bicycle is a marvel of engineering efficiency, one where an investment in 22 pounds of …

NEW YORK, Oct 1 2014 (IPS) – For most of human history, reproductive rights essentially meant men and women accepting the number, timing and spacing of their children, as well as possible childlessness. All this changed radically in the second half of the 20th century with the introduction of new medical technologies aimed at both preventing and assisting human reproduction.
Those technologies ushered in historic changes in reproductive rights and behaviour that continue to reverberate around the world, g…

MIAMI, Feb 20 2018 (IPS) – It is the country of paradox, based on the double column of creativity and tradition. Americans are unable to escape the twin submission to the adamnism of being the first and the last to accept that the rest of the planet can be more original and may outrank them in any field.
Expelled, transferred, fled from Europe, they refuse to admit that the reconstructed European civilization, which they have neglected since 1776, can be superior to them. Sometimes, as Trump came up with, they would willingly admit Norwegians, especially if this option would prevent the arrival of citizens from the shithole dumps of the galaxy. It is a useless alter…

GENEVA/NEW YORK, Aug 8 2018 (IPS) – States around the world must take effective action to guarantee the human rights of indigenous peoples, says a group of UN experts. In a joint statement marking International day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the experts say it is crucial that the rights of indigenous peoples are realised when they migrate or are displaced from their lands:
“In many parts of the world, indigenous peoples have become migrants because they are fleeing economic deprivation, forced…
Jul 9 2020 (IPS) – The COVID-19 pandemic is devastating labor markets across the world. Tens of millions of workers lost their jobs, millions more out of the labor force altogether, and many occupations face an uncertain future. Social distancing measures threaten jobs requiring physical presence at the workplace or face-to-face interactions. Those unable to work remotely, unless deemed essential, face a significantly higher risk of reductions in hours or pay, temporary furloughs, or permanent layoffs. What types of jobs and workers are most at risk? Not surprisingly, the costs have fallen most heavily on those who are least able to bear them: the poor and the young in …
