In Marta’s Makeup Bag: the supernatural superglossy Lip Gloss by Philosophy in follow your dreams ($16.50). This lip gloss is light and not greasy, perfect for daytime or for the the office. I like to also use this lip gloss underneath a darker lipstick to soften the look. follow your dreams is a beautiful soft pink coral shade. It feels a bit cooling and soothing when you apply on lips. And the name follow your dreams is SO inspiring!

Marta — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:31:51 +0000

Want to know what’s in Marta’s shower? So many products I love these days, so little time to blog, lol. But here is a sneak peak to my shower and to some of my favorite face cleansers these days. As you can tell it’s very challenging for me to take a shower lately, because I have so many decision to make as soon as I wake up. It goes like this: “Umm…which face cleanser should I use today?” lol.

CHANEL MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ Exfoliating Cleansing Foam Purity + Anti-Pollution: It’s very creamy, it exfoliates, and gentle. Like with any face cleansers, avoid the delicate eye area.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple:Very gentle and refreshing cleanser. One of the best creamy cleansers I’ve ever tried.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser:If you like that fresh clean feeling after you wash your face, then you would love this Kiehl’s cleanser. I’m hooked:)

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser: Very creamy and gentle cleanser.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser:I love the cucumber soothing scent when I wash my face with this Fresh cleanser. My face feels hydrated, clean, and toned after use.

Facts About Pediatric Cancer:

Pediatric cancer is referred to as an “orphan disease” because there is little or no profit to be made by the pharmaceutical companies and the reason why they ignore pediatric cancers for the most part.

Each year in the U.S., nearly 13,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. That’s the equivalent of two average size classrooms diagnosed each school day.

Today about 75% of children diagnosed with cancer become long-term survivors yet in the U.S. cancer remains the leading cause of death from one year through adolescence; more than any other disease. In the early 1950s, less than 10 percent of childhood cancer patients could be cured, proof that research can and is making a difference.

Historically, some of the most basic and essential treatment strategies now employed in the fight against cancer – such as multi-agent chemotherapy and combined modality therapy – were developed through pediatric cancer research.

In the U.S., combined, the cancers of children, adolescents and young adults to age 20 are the sixth most common cancer in the U.S.

Recent reports indicate that nearly two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors experience significant medical problems resulting from their original cancer and/or its treatment.
