In high school and college I did some heavy weight lifting and developed stretch marks on my upper arm and shoulder. Consequently, I did a little research on the best way to get rid of stretch marks. My wife, who provides skin care facial treatments at the best salon in Mandarin Jacksonville, Florida, also is very knowledgeable on the subject. As a result, I have discovered the best way to get rid of stretch marks. Here is a HubPages article I wrote on The Best Way To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks:

What Are Stretch Marks?

The medical term for stretch marks is striae. The skin on the human body is made up of three layers which are the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous or hypodermis. Stretch marks are created when there is excessive stretching of the middle layer of skin or dermis over a short period of time that causes weakening of the elastic support tissue.

Even though the epidermis remains intact, atrophic scars or depressed streaks are formed that are initially a variation of pink, reddish brown, purple, or dark brown color depending on your skin color and later turn to a silvery white. They usually will fade over time...More...

A Portable Air Conditioner To Fit Your Need

2009-08-07T17:25:00.004-04:00

I live in Florida where it can get quite hot and uncomfortably humid. There has been more than one occasion that I needed to find a portable air conditioner to fit my need. I really do love the warm weather here and spend a good deal of time outdoors, but it's always nice to be able to get back into the house to cool down. Here is a HubPages article I wrote on A Portable Air Conditioner To Fit Your Need:

When you think of a portable air conditioner, what do you see? A Japanese geisha girl holding a fan? An elderly woman fanning herself with the church bulletin while listening to a long-winded sermon? An old house with a window open and the curtains fluttering from a strong breeze? How about a noisy contraption sitting in the window of a trailer home? By searching online you can find a number of great buys on portable air conditioner brands - Edgestar, Royal Sovereign, Toyotomi, MovinCool, Koldwave, Symphony, MightyKool, and KoolerAire to name a few.

The term portable air conditioner can mean different things to different people, but the portable air conditioner I am referring to is one that provides cool air in a quiet efficient manner and may be easily moved from one place to another. The unit may also furnish heat for the winter or be used as a dehumidifier in a damp environment. Some may be equipped with an air purification filter to remove indoor pollutants from the air you breathe such as cigarette smoke, auto or other industrial exhaust fumes, dust, mites, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens.

This portable air conditioner runs on electricity or battery or can even be plugged into a cigarette lighter. It can be used in non standard places where permanent installation is not required or desired. This unit may be used at home, in an office, in a computer room, in a healthcare facility, in a warehouse, indoors or outdoors, on a boat, in a recreation vehicle, in a golf cart, in your car or truck, or in just about any place there is a need for a portable air cooling device...more...
