What is your definition of beauty? According to Wikipedia, Beauty is a characteristic of an animal, idea, object, person or place that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology, philosophy and sociology. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection. Ugliness is considered to be the opposite of beauty. The experience of "beauty" often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this can be a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionarily determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes. Classical philosophy and sculptures of men and women produced according to the Greek philosophers' tenets of ideal human beauty were rediscovered in Renaissance Europe, leading to a re-adoption of what became known as a "classical ideal". In terms of female human beauty, a woman whose appearance conforms to these tenets is still called a "classical beauty" or said to possess a "classical beauty", whilst the foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists have also supplied the standard for male beauty in western civilization. During the Gothic era, the classical aesthetical canon of beauty was rejected as sinful. Later, Renaissance and Humanist thinkers rejected this view, and considered beauty to be the product of rational order and harmonious proportions. Renaissance artists and architects (such as Giorgio Vasari in his "Lives of Artists") criticized the Gothic period as irrational and barbarian. This point of view of Gothic art lasted until Romanticism, in the 19th century.

The Age of Reason saw a rise in an interest in beauty as a philosophical subject. For example, Scottish philosopher Francis Hutcheson argued that beauty is "unity in variety and variety in unity". The Romantic poets, too, became highly concerned with the nature of beauty, with John Keatsarguing in "Ode on a Grecian Urn" that Beauty is truth, truth beauty, —that is all. Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

In the cannabis plant, CBD and THC generally have an inverse relationship: The more THC there is, the less CBD, and vice versa. In recent years, growers have bred some plants to contain high levels of CBD. Some say the two compounds work synergistically and that for many ailments, combining CBD and THC is best.

What makes CBD especially appealing is that it doesn’t get the user high. Most recreational marijuana users want this effect, of course, but many patients would rather avoid it. This has allowed CBD to sidestep many of the political, legal and medical concerns that have hindered the spread of medical marijuana.

sec; In the past 10 years, scientists have concluded that CBD may be quite useful. Dozens of studies have found evidence that the compound can treat epilepsy as well as a range of other illnesses, including anxiety, schizophrenia, heart disease and cancer.

What makes CBD especially appealing is that it doesn’t get the user high. Most recreational marijuana users want this effect, of course, but many patients would rather avoid it. This has allowed CBD to sidestep many of the political, legal and medical concerns that have hindered the spread of medical marijuana.

“CBD has been a game-changer for medical marijuana,” says Martin Lee, the director of Project CBD, a Northern California nonprofit that promotes the use of the compound. “Its safety and lack of psychoactivity undermine any argument that it should be illegal. It’s really shifted the national discussion on this issue.”

As more scientists recognize the compound’s potential, there has been an “explosion of research,” according to Pal Pacher, a pharmacologist, and cardiologist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. He has been studying the chemical for more than a decade; his work has shown that CBD may have benefits in both heart disease and diabetes.

One key area of CBD research is epilepsy. Several scientists are focusing on its potential to reduce seizures, especially among those for whom other treatments have failed. “We’ve found significant positive effects with CBD,” says New York University neurologist Orrin Devinsky, who studies the compound for severe childhood epilepsy.

 Jersey Shore Cosmetics Super Sativa Medicinal Hydrating Balms are formulated using 100% natural, organic, and Non-GMO ingredients. The medicated formula contains cannabis sativa seed oil, and 100% natural, organic ingredients. There is no THC in our balms. Jersey Shore Cosmetics medicinal balm is formulated using hemp seed oil (cannabis sativa seed oil) and is entirely legal in all states.

Hemp, (Cannabis sativa), the seed is a highly nutritious food, and contains anti-oxidants, protein, carotene, phytosterols, phospholipids, as well as a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. It is a source of complete protein and contains all twenty known amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids. It also contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, and E. The green color in hemp seed oil is a result of the high level of chlorophyll which is naturally present in the seeds.

Hemp seed oil (cannabis Sativa seed oil) is a luxurious skin treatment

Perhaps the most valued property of (Cannabis sativa) is its percentage of essential fatty acids, which is higher than any other plant in the world. It contains both Omega-6 and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, in a proportion of 3:1. This proportion is the recommended balance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 acids, making it a simply perfect way to complete your diet. Essential fatty acids are necessary for our health, and are responsible for the luster in our skin, hair, eyes, transferring oxygen to every cell in our body, and even the clarity in our thought processes.

An exceptionally rich, green oil, hemp seed oil is used widely in skin care for its regenerative ingredients. Common uses include body care creams, lotions, facial or body oils, massage oils, shampoo, conditioner, shaving products, lip balm, and soaps. In hair care products, hemp seed oil increases elasticity, manageability, and shine. Look for more Jersey Shore Cosmetics formulas using this exceptional nutrient-rich oil in the near future.

You’ve heard it before: One of the easiest tricks to feel energized and reach your weight loss goals is water, water and more water. Science says just one extraglass per meal can help you consume over 1,000 fewer calories per week! That’s because water is a great way to curb hunger, plus odds are good you’re passing up more caloric beverages like sugary juices.

But plain old H2O could use a little oomph, right? Luckily, infusing that glass of agua with ingredients like fruit, herbs and spices will make a big difference in the flavor department. From strawberry mint to ginger peach, click here for 14 fruit infused water recipes that go so far beyond adding a lemon wedge.

From makeup to skin care; are you choosing the right products to nourish dry winter skin? The freezing winter air brings more than a rosy glow to the cheeks. As temperatures go down, the battle for healthy glowing skin begins. We thought you might be interested in a few key pointers for protecting your winter skin.

1. Drink water. Water encourages collagen production throughout your life. This ensures the cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration of skin by also giving it a more radiant glow. We suggest drinking at least the recommended minimum of two liters of water a day.
2. Therapeutic baths using sea salt promote relaxation, increase detoxification and skin integrity. Sea salts combined with warm water help opening up the pores and improve skin’s ability to act as a barrier. Natural bath salts may treat certain skin conditions, soothe cramps and muscles aches. We recommend enjoying your bath accompanied by Pure Non-GMO Soy Candle with Essential Oils & Extracts. This is the perfect environment for an ultimate relaxation.
3. We all know that moisturizing is an essential part of nurturing ourselves. Since cold air can dry out the skin, why not choose an oil based moisturizer? Jersey Shore Cosmetics offers you a face and hair serum which is rich in olive-derived squalane, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, calendula extract and CoQ-10. Another important ingredient is the rosehip oil which was used by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans and Native Americans because of its healing properties and the ability to keep the skin smooth and blemish-free. Add a delicate scent of Bulgarian rose to the mix and you’ll get our 100% natural, paraben-free, sulfate-free and vegan Marigold Face & Hair Serum.
4. What about dry skin on other parts of your body? Use Jersey Shore Cosmetics Nourishing Body Butter to soothe and nourish the skin on your whole body. Don’t forget to keep your hands soft this season by always carrying a travel size Whole Body Balm with you. This wonder product is a perfectly balanced, certified organic formula which uses the very finest of all natural ingredients including argan oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, rosemary extract and vitamin E.
5. We also have a nourishing Vanilla Bean Hand Cream for revealing softer, younger looking skin. We’ll give you a tip: putting moisturizer on once a day is not enough; apply moisturizer more frequently so the effects would last longer. Applying moisturizer to damp skin retains moisture and allows for added hydration.
6. It may seem like only a dream to keep your lips smooth and moisturized in the cold days of winter, but we promise that your dream can become reality if you respect the key to preventing chapped lips by applying our Moisture Rich Hydrating Balms. They nourish, soothes and help to prevent dry chapped skin. If you also want to add a little color, try our Lip & Cheek Rouges which are rich in argan oil, Aloe Vera, vitamin E, CoQ-10 and naturally pigmented with minerals and flowers.

Winter blues bringing you down? Consider a multivitamin supplement. Vitamin C is known to increase the immunity; it also reduces the severity of colds and adds an extra glow to the skin. Since a lot of people experience severe joint pain during this season, an intake of a good amount of Vitamin D enriched foods is very important. Also, don’t forget that vitamin E helps in building healthy skin. This is the main reason we add it in most of our products
