Just heard a rumour that Alberto Culver have bought Simple.
@Billy_Cox Don't worry - I have complacency covered.
Potty mouthed punks pip plastic pop puppet! (Rage Against the Machine win!)
Not sure if I can stand it for my whole drive to work, but I will have to tune into Sir Wogan for a while. A true national treasure.
@clareahudson He just did it to the Beatles as I was reading your tweet!
@elsie_em Don't beat about the bush. Name naymes!
@MissCay Why in Heaven's name do we need a national lager day?
Insulted by how obvious the FORM SAT-19287 scam is. Do they really think we are THAT stupid?
When I first started working in a lab my nickname was Beaker. Now it is Dr Bunsen Honeydew. I suppose this is progress.
Extremely unimpressed by EWG's latest scaremongering. It isn't even up to their usual low standards.
Wondering why there don't seem to be any US suppliers of lemon oil when they are so big in all the other citrus oils? (Just curious)
@KimsHealthTips What is the advantage of a banana being more alkaline? I have just eaten a very spotty one, it was tasty.
@SeanMalarkey Did Abraham Lincoln really say that? I mean, those actual words?
I should have known this, but I have just found out that orange oil is 90% limonene. That is why it is such a good solvent for ink!
Build the biggest hotel in the world in a desert? The soup dragon off the Klangers makes more economic sense.
So have I got this right? Dubai owes sheds full of money, but nobody really knows how much? Isn't this all a bit casual?
@JanSimpson It looks like Portuguese to me. I speak a little, but it is the fourth most spoken language in the world so someone should know.
@TimsterC A BP? Basic Person? Bold Professional?
Just unfollowed someone who is tweeting a cycle of the same 12 aphorisms over and over. What is the point?
Spilt tea on my laptop this morning and now down arrow key doesn't work. Shall I try to fix it or work out creative workarounds?
@Lmoor Thanks, that is very kind of you.
@Lmoor Good question. Parabens are widespread:you can't easily study long term low level effects. I doubt there are any, but we don't know.
@Lmoor I think it is just that parabens are fat soluble and absorbed through the skin. There isn't any active retention going on imho.
@slaphappybeauty parabens aren't my favourite ingredients, but I don't think they cause cancer
There was never any particular reason to believe that parabens are hormonally active in the first place http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/Formula...
I have a feeling that studies like this one won't win over the people who worry about parabens though http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/Formula...
Cosmetic scientist's perspective on human fat being used in cosmetics in Peru http://colinsbeautypages.co.uk/gruesom...
@iandicksonbiz If you improve your business by 1% a week, the net result is a 68% improvement in a year.
Amazed by story about Peruvian gang that murdered people to get their fat for use in cosmetics. Gruesome, but also inexplicable.
