Tanning Beds: History and Advice
Tanning beds were brought to North America by German scientist Friedrich Wolff in 1978 and rose to popularity in the mid-1980s. Since then, tanning beds have been a common way to tan without having to spend hours and hours in the sun's unpredictable radiation.
Make no mistake: the ultraviolet light used in tanning beds is almost exactly the same kind of ultraviolet light that comes from the sun, and therefore comes with the same risks. But if you understand how tanning beds work and how to use them without abusing them, tanning beds can be a great way to get that perfect olive or bronze hue you've been yearning for.
All conventional tanning beds have lamps that produce ultraviolet radiation ? both UVB and UVA rays. The UVB rays are accountable for stimulating production of the naturally occurring skin pigment melanin. However, minor overexposure to UVB rays causes burn, while major overexposure is linked to skin cancers.

On the Road Again
Just like Willy Nelson, I could not wait to get on the road again.
After five years of marriage my husband and I had traveled to France, Florida, Missouri, Georgia and the Caribbean.
We had also taken many weekend trips around my husband's hectic work schedule.
That all changed January 16,1992 - or so we thought.
The next three months were a blur; bottles, diapers, and lack of sleep, times two.
When I finally returned to work, after twelve weeks, my life had drastically changed.
My husband and I did not venture on another vacation for seven years.
By that time the twins were seven and our youngest was two.
I quickly learned how traveling with our youngest children could be fun, exciting and definitely not tiresome.
With a family of five our preferred mode of travel is driving.
We make our hotel stops safe, fun, and exciting...

Fall Is The Perfect Time To Properly Preserve Memories
Everyone has pictures and stories that go along with them. Often these photos end up in shoeboxes, under our beds or perhaps in magnetic albums that can cause the photos to yellow or fade over time. The people, places and stories behind the pictures are often not recorded. The result can be a wealth of memories that are lost or ruined.Jamie Van, owner of Heritage Creations, a company specializing in creating various types of memory albums, says the best way to ensure that the past isn't lost is to document it in a creative and archivally safe manner.
"Pictures and memorabilia stored in a box will mean little to future generations if they don't know the story behind them," she explains.
"By taking the time to write down stories and properly preserve photos in an album, the past can be shared and not lost."According to Van, finding and using the right products and tools is imperative for creating a memory book that will last for generations.
For starters, Van...
