  • Beauty Magazines: Are They Worth Your Money?

    When waiting in line at the supermarket checkout, have you ever ended up buying a beauty magazine that you saw by the checkout counters?  If you have, you are definitely not alone.  While a large number of individuals, possibly just like you, purchase beauty magazines on occasion or as an impulse buy, many others have to have copies of all beauty magazines and on a monthly or even a weekly basis at that.  While it is okay to have a collection of beauty magazines, you need to be careful about wasting your money.

    When it comes to buying beauty magazines, there are many individuals, especially first time buyers, who wonder if beauty magazines are really worth the money.  In all honesty, you will find that it depends.  Beauty magazines come in a number of different formats and they are made and published by different individuals and companies. For that reason, no two beauty magazines are really the same.  That is why you should examine each beauty magazine individually to determine whether or not it is worth your money.

    One thing that you will want to examine is the contents of a beauty magazine.  Beauty magazines, as previously stated, have different materials inside of them.  If you are looking for something in particular, like how to keep your face clean and free of pimples, you may want to make sure that the magazine you are interested in buying covers that problem.  If it does, the magazine in question may be worth your money, but if not, it may actually end up being a waste of your money.

    What you also need to remember is that beauty magazines are not the only way that you can go about familiarizing yourself with the latest in beauty and fashion trends, as well as get tips on how to improve your appearance, beauty wise.  You should also know that you can turn to the internet.  Online, you may be able to find online beauty magazines, which are similar to the printed magazines sold in stores, but they come in online formats and many are offered free of charge.  You may also find online websites that are designed to offer you free tips.  There also online websites that have beauty message boards on them. These message boards are nice because you can not only get free beauty tips online or share tips that you know, but you can also make an online friend or two.

    Yes, beauty magazines are not all that expensive.  In most cases, you will find that beauty magazines cost around three or four dollars an issue.  With that in mind, however, you need to remember that some people have a hard time with buying just one beauty magazine.  Beauty magazines, over time, can get fairly costly; therefore, you will want to make sure that you examine each magazine that you want to buy before actually doing so.  Even if you stop yourself from buying a beauty magazine even just five months out of the year, you may enjoy your extra savings.

    In short, the decision as to whether or not you want to buy a beauty magazine or a number of them is your decision to make.  However, with that in mind, it is important to remember that you don’t need to buy a beauty magazine to get beauty tips and information on the latest trends.  If you do decide to buy beauty magazines though, you will at least want to take a few minutes to skim through them.  This will give the opportunity to see if the magazine or magazines in question are really worth your money.

  • Beauty Supply Stores: Is It Better to Shop Locally or Online?

    Are you interested in revamping or updating your appearance?  If you are, you may want to think about going shopping for new beauty products and supplies.  There are a large number of beauty products and beauty product supplies that are designed to help improve one’s appearance.

    When it comes to buying beauty products and beauty supplies, you will find that you have a number of different options. For starters, beauty products are most commonly sold at beauty supply stores, but they are also available at other locations, including department stores and fashion stores.  If you are looking for the latest selection of beauty products and supplies, you may want to think about sticking with beauty supply stores. Even then though you still have a choice.  Beauty supply stores are operated both in storefront retail locations, as well as online.

    If this is your first time deciding to take your appearance, beauty wise, seriously, you may have never shopped at a beauty supply store before or it may have been a while since the last time that you did.  If that is the case, you may be wondering whether you should shop online or locally and if there is even a difference between the two.  If you are, you will want to continue reading on.

    One of the most commonly asked questions, concerning beauty supply stores, is what is the difference between a locally operated beauty supply store and an online beauty supply store.  As you likely already know, a locally owned and operated beauty store is one that you physically visit, pick out what you like, pay for it, and then leave.  When shopping at an online store, you just need to enter in your shipping information and your payment information.  You can buy beauty products and supplies from an online beauty store anytime of the day, from the comfort of your own home.

    Another difference between a storefront beauty supply store and an online beauty supply store is the assistance that you will receive.  That is one of the reasons why many consumers prefer buying their beauty supplies and products from locally owned and operated beauty supply stores.  When shopping online, the online retailer in question may have a customer service number that you can call, but you will likely not be able to receive help with buying makeup or suggestions.  Help and suggestions, also commonly known as consultations, are one of the many reasons why many prefer shopping at a locally owned and operated beauty supply store, as most have very helpful and knowledgeable staff members.

    The product selection is also something that you may want to think about taking into consideration. While many storefront beauty supply stores do carry a large selection of beauty product and supplies, you may find that some stores are limited on space. There are also stores that focus only on certain individuals, like men or women.  This limits your selection of beauty supplies and products to choose from. What is nice about online beauty supply stores is that they do not have to worry about fitting all of their merchandise onto a sales floor.  That is why you can often find a large selection of beauty supplies and products when shopping online. Also, you will find that you are instantly able to gain access to as many as fifty or more beauty supply stores in a matter of seconds. This is something that you cannot do just driving around town in your car.

    As you can see, there are a few differences between online beauty supply stores and locally owned and operated beauty supply stores.  There are also a number of pros and cons to each.  For the best shopping experience, you may actually want to think about experimenting with both locally owned and operated beauty supply stores and online beauty supply stores.  If you are like many shoppers, you will likely develop a preference almost right away.

    MIEA warns public to beware of property scams 1

    KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) is advising the public to be cautious in buying and selling properties during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period to avoid falling prey to scams.

    MIEA noted that amid the MCO, the majority of Malaysians who are keen to buy or sell property will be relying on online platforms.

    “Be extra vigilant as there are still a high number of cases where the general public has fallen prey to these property pitfalls,” it said yesterday.

    MIEA president Lim Boon Ping highlighted that registered estate agents (REA) and negotiators (REN) are recognised as professionals under Malaysian law and that there are firm requirements that need to be adhered to when publishing an advertisement in order to protect the public’s interest.

    Among others, they are required to include their name, REN/REA number, contact number and the real estate firm they represent with its E registration number and the firm’s telephone number, which the public can verify on www.lppeh.gov.my.

    “There will a sudden surge on online and offline advertisement by those illegal brokers who will take advantage on the Covid-19 rise in low priced property deals and these advertisements will not contain the before-mentioned authenticity information and the public should avoid calling them,“ warned Lim.

    He reminded that if one sees an advertisement or a property deal that looks “too good to be true”, be extra cautious and do your research”.

    “Always engage a registered estate agent or a certified negotiator to verify these potential property deals,“ added Lim. — Bernama

  • Joint Statement by QU Dongyu, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Roberto Azevedo, Directors-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO)

    Millions of people around the world depend on international trade for their food security and livelihoods. As countries move to enact measures aiming to halt the accelerating COVID-19 pandemic, care must be taken to minimise potential impacts on the food supply or unintended consequences on global trade and food security. 

    When acting to protect the health and well-being of their citizens, countries should ensure that any trade-related measures do not disrupt the food supply chain. Such disruptions including hampering the movement of agricultural and food industry workers and extending border delays for food containers, result in the spoilage of perishables and increasing food waste. Food trade restrictions could also be linked to unjustified concerns on food safety. If such a scenario were to materialize, it would disrupt the food supply chain, with particularly pronounced consequences for the most vulnerable and food insecure populations. 

    Uncertainty about food availability can spark a wave of export restrictions, creating a shortage on the global market. Such reactions can alter the balance between food supply and demand, resulting in price spikes and increased price volatility. We learned from previous crises that such measures are particularly damaging for low-income, food-deficit countries and to the efforts of humanitarian organizations to procure food for those in desperate need.

    We must prevent the repeat of such damaging measures. It is at times like this that more, not less, international cooperation becomes vital. In the midst of the COVID-19 lockdowns, every effort must be made to ensure that trade flows as freely as possible, specially to avoid food shortage. Similarly, it is also critical that food producers and food workers at processing and retail level are protected to minimise the spread of the disease within this sector and maintain food supply chains. Consumers, in particular the most vulnerable, must continue to be able to access food within their communities under strict safety requirements.  

    We must also ensure that information on food-related trade measures, levels of food production, consumption and stocks, as well as on food prices, is available to all in real time. This reduces uncertainty and allows producers, consumers and traders to make informed decisions. Above all, it helps contain ‘panic buying’ and the hoarding of food and other essential items.

    Now is the time to show solidarity, act responsibly and adhere to our common goal of enhancing food security, food safety and nutrition and improving the general welfare of people around the world.  We must ensure that our response to COVID-19 does not unintentionally create unwarranted shortages of essential items and exacerbate hunger and malnutrition.

  • Govt needs over RM50m to bring back Malaysians from US, UK, says Hishammuddin

    Govt needs over RM50m to bring back Malaysians from US, UK, says Hishammuddin

    Govt needs over RM50m to bring back Malaysians from US, UK, says Hishammuddin 5

    PUTRAJAYA: The government will need more than RM50 million to bring back Malaysians from the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) if the two countries implemented travel restrictions, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein (pix) today.

    Therefore, he said those who are still in both countries and wish to come back should fly home now while commercial flights are still available as well as to avoid unnecessary complications later.

    “Don’t wait until there is a lockdown in these two countries, and then come running to the government and Wisma Putra to ask for help bringing them back,” he told reporters after witnessing the handover of medical equipment from the Chinese government to Malaysia here today.

    Hishammuddin outlined two issues that the government had to face in addressing the Malaysians stranded overseas problem.

    “First, the lockdown in the host country. That can only be resolved (through) G-to-G (Government-to-Government (effort), and that can only happen if Wisma Putra has strong bilateral ties with these countries,” he said.

    “Second problem (is), even if we have the landing rights and we have the agreement from the (foreign) governments to allow our planes to come in, we need an allocation to charter planes and the amount is not small,“ he added.

    Hishammuddin further added that in the case of bringing back Malaysians from the US, Wisma Putra estimated some RM50 million was needed to fund the initiative.

    “That RM50 million could be spent on buying equipment, medication for Malaysians in need. So please understand, Malaysians who are overseas, that (the issue) is not just about allocation.

    “Come home now if you want to come home, don’t come home after the lockdown is implemented as the numbers (of Malaysians) in the US, especially, is huge,“ he said.

    It was reported that US recorded over 100,000 confirmed Covid-19 cases as of yesterday. — Bernama
