Are you dreaming to become a "Snow White" just like the beautiful princess in the fairy tale? You may be born with light or dark skin color, but it can change as long as you take the right measures. I used to have darker skin color when I was younger but it's gotten lighter as I got older. Here are some tips for skin whitening:
Tip 1. Cleaning is the first step of skin whitening. It is also one of the most important steps. Because the skin may produce sweat, oil, fat, and aged sebum in the process of metabolism. These metabolites blend with the wastes in the environment and then form a "dump" on the surface of the skin. So it is necessary to wipe out all the wastes first. I suggest applying scrub scream twice a week, and whitening salt when showering. Tamarind pulp and tangerine can well improve dark skin condition. Tea polyphone in green tea has the function of moisturizing, warming and anti-oxidation.
Tip 2. Body membrane and moisturizing milk. Immediately after showering when your body still maintain the heat, apply somebody membrane which contains herbal extract or essence. In no time, your skin will resume tender and smooth.
Vitamin C can protect your skin from pigmentation, and stimulate the generation of collagen in the dermis layer, which has the function of whitening and smoothening your skin. Vitamin A can enter the nucleus and whiten the skin in result of the combination of elastin and collagen.
Tip 3. Diet properly. Beauty comes from the interior to the exterior. So keeping the proper diet is an indispensable part of skin whitening. It takes time and patience, but it's the most natural and beneficial way of whitening. Foods that contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, protein, and mineral substances are the best choice of whitening diet. You are encouraged to consume them uncooked or boiled.
For instance, lemon is rich in Vitamin C. One glass of lemon juice every morning can help you remove your body wastes and also whiten your skin naturally. Another example is vinegar egg juice. An egg a day keeps melanin away. In the long run, your skin will become as tender and smooth as little babies.
Having white skin is not just a dream. Practice makes perfect. Believe me, you are the next "Snow White".

This shiny item on the Chesca label is made from a mix of silk and rayon. It’s utterly lightweight as a result, but it feels absolutely sensational to wear!
A small graveyard very close to the hypocenter had the stone exposed to the explosion become rough, while the unexposed surfaces remained smooth. The damage on these objects showed the blast occurred almost directly above.

I've made that yesterday.... I've this in my mind for long time but, it came out a lil' bit different than I had in my mind.

Igneous rocks form by the cooling & crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma & lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Obsidian is readily identifiable. It is a glassy-textured, extrusive igneous rock. Obsidian is natural glass - it lacks crystals, and therefore lacks minerals. Obsidian is typically black in color, but most obsidians have a felsic to intermediate chemistry. Felsic igneous rocks are generally light-colored, so a felsic obsidian seems a paradox. Mafic obsidians are scarce, but they are also black and glassy.
Obsidian is an uncommon rock, but can be examined at several famous localities in America, such as Obsidian Cliff at the Yellowstone Hotspot (northwestern Wyoming, USA) and Big Obsidian Flow at the Newberry Volcano (central Oregon, USA).
Obsidian is moderately hard and has a conchoidal fracture (smooth and curved fracture surface), with sharp broken edges. Freshly-broken obsidian has the sharpest edges of any material known, natural or man-made (as seen under a scanning electron microscope).
Obsidian forms two ways: 1) very rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals; 2) cooling of high-viscosity lava, which prevents easy movement of atoms to form crystals. An example of obsidian that formed the first way is along the margins of basaltic lava flows at Kilaeua Volcano (Hawaii Hotspot, central Pacific Ocean). The obsidian sample seen here formed the second way.
Poa pratensis, known as Smooth Meadow-grass, Common Meadow Grass or Kentucky Bluegrass, is a perennial species of grass native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa and North America.
Poa pratensis forms a valuable pasture plant, characteristic of well-drained, fertile soil. It is also used for making lawns in parks and gardens. Poa is Greek for fodder.
The name Kentucky Bluegrass derives from its flower heads, which are blue when the plant is allowed to grow to its natural height of two to three feet.[1]
The rootstock is creeping, with runners. The broad, blunt leaves tend to spread at the base, forming close mats.
Poa pratensis is a herbaceous perennial plant 30–70 centimetres (12–28 in) tall. The leaves have boat-shaped tips, narrowly-linear, up to 20 centimetres (8 in) long and 3–5 millimetres (0.12–0.20 in) broad, smooth or slightly roughened, with a rounded to truncate ligule 1–2 millimetres (0.039–0.079 in) long. The conical panicle is 5–20 centimetres (2–8 in) long, with 3 to 5 branches in the basal whorls; the oval spikelets are 3–6 millimetres (0.12–0.24 in) long with 2 to 5 florets, and are purplish-green or grey. They are in flower from May to July, compared to Annual Meadowgrass (Poa annua) which is in flower for eight months of the year.
The ligule is extremely short and square ended, making a contrast with Annual Meadowgrass (Poa annua) and Rough Meadowgrass {Poa trivialis) in which it is silvery and pointed.
Poa compressa is a similar species.
Poa pratensis is the type species of the grass family Poaceae.
There are two ill-defined subspecies:
* Poa pratensis ssp. pratensis — temperate regions
* Poa pratensis ssp. colpodea — Arctic

Somewhere along the amazing seashore of Acadia National Par, Maine. I've never experienced the Ocean quite like it anywhere else.
I took this a couple of years ago before learning of long exposures to smooth the water. Next time.
