how im going to save the world (my little step)

this year iv decided to save the world in my own way. i was thinking about what i could do to save money but not be bored wile doing it. because its almost summer time, i have decided to stay outside as much as posiable. being outside i wont be using as much electricity as i would be if i was inside. by the end of the summer i wont only save money but i will also get more exercise and become healthier, not to mention i could get a nice little tan (but i like my pail skin so im going to use some sunblock).
heres an all natural sunblock you can make:

Things You'll Need:

  • Olive Oil or Almond Oil
  • Beeswax
  • Zinc Oxide (found in most stores with the diaper rash treatment)
  1. Step 1
    Olive Oil
    Olive Oil

    On low, heat 1 cup of Olive or Almond Oil. You can purchase either of these oils in grocery stores, discount chains, health food retailers, or online.

  2. Step 2
    Beeswax
    Beeswax

    Add 1 oz of crumbled beeswax to the heated oil. Continue on low until the wax melts completely. It is advised to visit a local bee keeper to harvest the wax. If one can not be located in your area, it can also be found in most craft stores in the candle making section or at health food stores.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the mixture from the heat and immediately add 2 Tablespoons of the zinc oxide. Tubes can be purchased at most stores in the "diaper rash" treatment aisle. Mix thoroughly.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the complete mixture into a sealable container. As it cools you may notice some separation of the ingredients. If this occurs you can shake to remix. If necessary you can set the container in a bowl of warm water to soften the mixture before shaking.

  5. Step 5

    Apply as needed. Remember to eat foods that boost your body's natural sunscreen for added protection.

time magizine atrical by nancy gibbs (my out look)

after reading this article about the women raped in the military i became very infuriated! it just gos to show that woman are still looked at as sex toys and we are being stepped on and men just think they can walk all over us. i don't see how this happens in the first place, as a woman if this was to happen to me i would not stand for it, i would not be scared to be demoted either. i would kick some ass and teach them a thing of two!! woman have rights too, surprise surprise!! oh my goodness its a miracle! i know that might shock a few of you out there but its true there was a women's rights movement. I'm sick of women being looked at as some scared little rag doll the can be jumped easily and taken in for a mans pleasure. in this article there was a statement that says "what dose it tell us that female soldiers deployed overseas stop drinking water after 7 p.m. to reduce the odds of being raped if they have have to use the bathroom at night?" once i read that i started to think, we are to be so scared of being raped that we deprive ourselves form water so we are less likely to go pee in the middle of the night. i say that women start to pump some iron and have more self defeats classes and i say that all men accused and found guilty get a full punishment, a brutal, horrifying, painful punishment!! AND!! if a women come forward to admit that a fellow soldier has raped her she SHOULDN'T be demoted and ashamed for telling the truth, she should be honed for having the guts and tell the truth, NOT SHUSHED!
