TIP TOP NAILCHIC LAUNCHES ‘U CRACK ME UP’ CRACKLE NAIL POLISH FOR WINTER 2011

The next big thing in nails is Cracked Nail Polish. No, not chipped and certainly not un-kept, but artfully Cracked Nail Colours. We know all the beauty rules, but rules were made to be broken – or cracked, if you will. Simply apply Tip Top NailChic ‘U Crack Me Up’ and watch it as it dries. When this Cracked Nail Polish dries, it has a fractured effect to it that allows the undercoat to peek through. Tip Top NailChic ‘U Crack Me Up’ nail polish looks like an ordinary polish. But when you apply it over the top of any of your favourite nail varnish, it starts to visibly shrink on your nail so you get a crackle effect. On top of white polish, you can create a zebra-print style pattern; on top of yellow, you get leopard print – perfectly on-trend for autumn/winter. Play around on top of darker colours and you can create a cool Gothic effect. You can even layer it over glitters for a more creative touch. It’s so different and unique that people will think you sat at the salon for hours to get that design!

THE BENEFITS OF COTTON

Pure cotton percale bed linen ensures that you sleep in comfort in any season

The senses provide important clues as to what promotes a sleep-friendly environment in your bedroom. Many factors can influence your sleep. Your mattress, bed linen and even your room’s colour scheme all have an impact on how well your body rests. Natural tones are more restful on the eye and bedding should be practical and comfortable. Specialist bed linen manufacturers, Linen Drawer, know how important sleep is for your health. That’s why they create bed linen from 100% cotton percale, without synthetic additives. Cotton allows the skin to breath, creating a comfortable environment under the covers whatever the season.

Oral Care for Babies

For most people oral care simply means brushing the teeth. At  MAM, we believe oral care should begin even before the first tooth appears!

Here are a few tips from MAM's pediatric dental experts:

1) Clean your baby's gums after breastfeeding or bottlefeeding using a soft cloth, a cotton swab, or a cotton ball. This way you not only remove bacteria but you also gently massage the gums of your child. You can start doing this during the first month after delivery. MAM has developed the Oral Care Rabbit to meet this need. 
The MAM Oral Care Rabbit is a teething cloth that makes dental hygiene very easy. Simply slip your finger into one of the ears – this makes it easier to reach and clean each part of your baby´s mouth. The soft microfibers clean and gently massage the gums.

Zinc - Could it be the most important mineral?

Zinc, Boring?
Oh no! It could be the single most important mineral for life.

Especially for men. Men and women have just about the same amount of zinc in all tissues of their bodies, with one exception. The male prostate gland contains and uses more zinc than any other tissue – 4 to 80 times more, depending on what tissue it might be compared against.
The main transporter of zinc into prostate tissue is the amino acid arginine, nutrient also found concentrated in the prostate gland. Binding zinc to arginine helps direct it to the tissue that has the highest requirement for the mineral. Without adequate zinc, sperm production decreases, and the general health of the prostate falters. In addition:
