An Organic Standard

Now that organic beauty products can receive the USDA seal to indicate its degree of purity, look for a regulatory standard and seal for natural beauty products. Burt’s Bees, which launched the initiative, has indicated that the Natural Standard Seal will require at least 95 percent natural ingredients and pure processing methods to make the mark. “We’re starting at a higher percentage because most consumers believe if a product stays it’s natural, it must be so, but that’s just not been the case,” said Mike Indursky, chief marketing officer for Burt’s Bees.

Zap Blemishes Away

A new slew of at-home beauty appliances are about to join the Zeno zit zapper and the Clarisonic face-washing brush. Watch for products that will offer many of the same mechanics of spa-grade devices, such as the Mini-Marvel, which use LED light to diminish wrinkles, acnes and blotches.

Tress Relief

While known to aide in potential hair growth, scalp massages are becoming full-length spa treatments for relaxation. In Los Angeles, spas such as the Ole Henriksen body treatments may also include hair conditioning. Asks Hendricksen, “Why should spa services stop at the hairline?”

New Targets for Anti-Aging

Anti-aging doesn’t just stop at the face any longer. Spas are turning the focus to the neck, décolleté, bust, and overall body by popular demand. Spa and retail shelves are stocking creams, exfoliators and more. Sylvie Hennessey, creator of Pevonia Botanica, which launched Tropicale anti-aging body treatments recently said, “Clients want their bodies treated for wrinkling and sun damage too.”

Some Familiar Friends

More products touting firming and lifting properties will make their way to the shelves. And in them (look at the label on the back) are the same proven ingredients, such as retinol, vitamin C and peptides people have been using to treat wrinkles and blotches.

Bat the Eyes

More products will bring the focus on thickening and lengthening lashes, despite the FDA’s crackdown on one manufacturer, Jan Marini, for claiming its products could make lashes grow. Products include RevitaLash and Osmotics FNS Nutrilash.

Correct rather than Conceal

The new anthem for makeup is to correct the flaws rather than hide them. Leaders in this market include Elizabeth Arden’s ceramide line. Other products include Kimiko Beauty’s firming eye shadow and Joey NY’s under-eye concealer which includes anti-aging peptides. Mineral essential makeup has been popular for its lack of irritants and UV protection. “This concept goes one step farther,” said Kimiko founder Danielle Vincent, “Your skin is actually better for having used it.”

A-Peeling Treatments

Spas are developing less aggressive forms of chemical peels which are lower in acids and higher in skin soothers such as green tea. This scaling back in potency offers new variations of the at-home peel. “It’s wonderful as long as the percentage of acid is low,” said New York City facial plastic surgeon Yael Halaas, MD. “Too high a concentration or too frequent use can lead to damage.”

Bullion Bling

Spas and their customers are in love with gold as a facial ingredient. At about US$500 for an ounce of serum with gold is more bling than benefits. While down-right decadent, gold is still yet to be proven an effective anti-ager.

Anti-Age the Amazon Way

English rose and French lavender may have a new contender in town. Product lines are turning to the Amazon basin as its new spa-beauty garden. Its indigenous plants, fruits and nuts are high in antioxidants and skin-nourishing oils. For example, Amazon Beauty contains acai, buriti and guarana fruit. Inara Organics is based on the babassu nut. Even mainstream brands like Kiehl’s and Borba are using guanabana and yerba maté because of their purity and efficacy, says Borba founder Scott Vincent Borba.

Inflation is Taxing Your Wealth – so Pay Attention to It!

Posted by admin as gold bullion

Intended Audience:

Investors and Retirees looking to preserve their buying power and wealth. Remember that inflation doesnâ??t destroy wealth, it merely transfers it â?? and the average person is on the losing end.

Summary Points to Take Away

(1)  Inflation doesnâ??t destroy buying power of wealth, it merely transfers it between those holding currency and the governmentâ??s printing it.

(2)  Inflation is a silent tax on everyone holding the currency of the government printing the money (this tax has no borders).

(3)  Individuals can fight inflation and preserve their wealth by: (a) Purchasing inflation sensitive assets such as commodities, precious metals and real estate (b) Locking into debt levels at the current low interest rates and purchase inflation resistant assets with the proceeds.

Analysis

When governments print money to purchase goods and serves, they get the full buying power of those dollars at the expense of reducing the value of dollars held by the general public. Once the additional dollars are used in the market to purchase goods, there is an increase in the supply of currency available without a corresponding change in the level of available goods and services to purchase. In other words, if there are more dollars chasing around the same level of goods, itâ??ll effectively take more of those dollars to purchase the same level of goods prior to the expansion of currency. The most important thing to note here is that the money supply doesnâ??t increase till the government actually spends those dollars on goods and services. This implies that the government is provided the full buying power of the newly printed currency when the dollars are spent. It is only subsequent to those government purchases that more dollars enter the marketplace, which cases inflation to arise, which effectively reduces the buying power of anyone holding the currency. The conclusion here is inflation doesnâ??t destroy wealth; it just destroys YOUR wealth by transferring buying power from individuals holding the currency to the government printing it. Individuals arenâ??t asked if the government can reduce their wealth, they just do it without being held accountable. Thatâ??s why Iâ??m referring to it as the silent tax, the one you donâ??t know youâ??re paying.

When you hear people crying about the former U.S President Nixonâ??s decision to go off the â??gold standardâ? during the 70â??s, you now know what they were complaining about. Back when the U.S. was on the gold standard, currency couldnâ??t be printed without acquiring additional gold to back it up; thus, buying power couldnâ??t be stolen from those holding dollars like it can be today by simply printing more currency.

If you were in favor of the Wall Street and automotive bailouts before, this may change your mind as the costs wonâ??t just be borne by tax payers, but by anyone holding a USD (transferring wealth from the average person to those working in the financial and automotive sectors). This would have serious repercussions for savers and retirees who now have to survive on fewer goods as their dollars wonâ??t take them as far. Also note currency devaluation has no borders; thus, it wonâ??t be just the citizens of the U.S. giving up their buying power, but rather ANYONE holding a USD.

Why will governments continue to print money? Because presidents arenâ??t remembered favorably if they raise taxes or cut benefits. Most governments (such as the U.S.) canâ??t bring budget deficits under control unless this is done. In my view, the continued printing of money by government bodies is almost a certainty. Evidence that the government printing presses will continue to run is seen through the current discussions of bailouts of troubled financial institutions and massive low interest loans to automakers throughout North America.

Where to go From Here?

Individuals can retain their buying power by purchasing inflation resistant assets that in times of inflation provide a store of value by producing more debased currency to keep the owners buying power in check. As you can imagine currency is the worst asset you can hold as it is on an everlasting path to $0 as governments continue to expand the money supply through the printing of money to fund budget deficits. See below for a list of options for the average individual to protect their wealth:

(1)  Commodities â?? can be purchased through ETFs that focus on certain types of commodities such as oil, natural gas and agricultural products.

(2)  Precious metals â?? similarly to commodities can be purchased through ETFs. As well precious metals can be physically purchased (bullion, coins, etc.).

(3)  Real Estate â?? investors with enough capital can purchase rental properties or those without the sufficient funds needed can participate through REITs (sold through ETFs and your local financial institution), which essentially is partial ownership of a holding company with many investment properties.

(4)  Take on additional fixed debt at the current low rates, so that the debt level in terms of buying power will decline as inflation transfers wealth from the lender to the borrower. As well you could purchase inflation resistant assets (commodities, precious metals, real estate, etc.) with those borrowed dollars to enhance your returns.
