Cell phones accelerate the age process?


UVA/UBV rays? Check. Pollution? Check. Wind, infrared rays, free radicals? Check, check, check. For those of you who thought you had all your bases covered with a hyper-advanced protective day cream, there is a new culprit to be aware of: cell phones. According to scientists at Clarins, electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones cause skin's intercellular "cement" to break down, resulting in dehydration and destabilization that leads to peeling, redness, and a loss of radiance -- in other words, accelerating the aging process. Hence the development of Expertise 3P mist, which uses plant extracts to form an "invisible screen" against wave damage. It also contains an anti-pollution complex with white tea to guard against free radicals and "urban pollution". With increased global urbanization combined with a growing emphasis on protection, we may begin to see more products like this in the future (us.clarins.com).

I can clearly hear in my head Janeane Garofalo in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" saying to the department store counter lady "Oh no, the free radicals are attacking my skin!".

What's going to happen to my daughter Gabi who at 15 months is already in love with cell phones??? Hmmm, maybe that's why she's already acting like a teenager... :)

Gigi's Baby Shower

Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi.

I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha

Marketing Jobs

In my current job I see a lot of people undergoing job transitions and looking to expand their networks in order to improve their chances of future job placement.  Today I met a very interesting woman who had a very similar profile to mine, minus the international experience.  She wanted to talk to me given my similar profile in Marketing and see how I saw the job market these days. She seemed to think that it's harder and harder to find jobs in Marketing in Peru these days. One of the reasons? It seems that because of the economic downturn and the uncertainty about the election results (sounds just like the US, I know) companies are cutting back on Marketing budgets. Sounds familiar right? DON'T. CUT. BACK. ON. MARKETING. BUDGETS. FOLKS.  Maybe there's some fat that you can trim here and there, maybe you change your marketing vehicles in favor of more cost efficient ones like Digital (and I'm not saying you should), maybe you focus more on Trade Marketing or Price
