Many years ago I realized how easy (and inexpensive!) sugar scrubs were to make. Since then I’ve played around with many different versions of exfoliating body scrub. This rose body scrub smells heavenly and leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Sugar Scrubs It’s not hard to find body polish with a rose scent, but the ingredients aren’t always the best.

Everything they have suffered has gone against human dignity, there is no doubt about that.

For close to 100 years, the U.S. government has been the largest helium provider worldwide.1 This is set to change, now that the Federal Helium Reserve has been sold to the highest bidder — Messer, an industrial gas company. But with helium already in short supply, the sale has spooked the health care industry amidst fears the helium shortage may get worse. This isn’t just a matter of party balloons going flat.
