Acne is a very common problem faced at all ages. It mostly happens in the adolescent stage that is the age from 13 to 18 years of age. I have heard a lot of people complaining after undergone treatments for skin. All skin types differ from person to person, age, diet etc. There are a lot of products in the market to fight acne problems. Some are effective some are not. I would suggest you to check the treatment you are planning to undergo by a skin specialist regarding your skin type. There are even tools like blackhead remover, pimples remover etc. Please use them under supervision. If not used properly they could leave spots on the skin.

Let us give a thought today to the world that we live in; this spectacular, bewilderingly beautiful, wonderfully wild world of ours. Yes there is now, a more or less official list of the Seven Wonders of the World, but I don’t think there is one of the natural wonders of the world. The Seven Wonders are of course Chiche’n Itza’ in Yucatán, Mexico, The Christ the Redeemer Statue overlooking Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, The Great Wall of China, The Machu Pichu in Peru, The Palace Tombs of the ancient Nabataean city of Petra in Jordan, The Roman Coliseum and of course that monument to eternal love, the Taj Mahal in India.
Now since there is no official list of the natural wonders, I looked around to see which was the most representative list and I thought the Chicago Tribune put together just such a one.
The Amazon: The Amazon is the largest river in the world in terms of volume of water, and the Amazon rain forest that it supports is one of the most crucial and most threatened ecologies in the world.
The Antarctic: The only uninhabited continent of earth though often functions as a kind of giant laboratory and also a means for human kind to satisfy its thirst for adventure. Forbidding, but spectacular in its pristine white beauty.
The Grand Canyon: This is a maginificent natural testament to the forces of denudation and erosion. Created from twin forces of wind and water, this is a stark and stunning natural wonder of our world.
The Great Barrier Reef: This is the world’s largest living coral reef, a fragile and beautiful eco system off the coast of Australia which is under grave threat from none other than man and his way of life.
The Himalayas: In school I learnt that the Himalayas are the world’s youngest mountains and also the highest. Also the science of plate tectonics being what they are, they are contantly under pressure which is making them grow ever taller.
Norway’s Fiords (AKA Fjords): These are a series of natural inlets in the coasline of Norway which provide unique natural harbours for the people and also shelter from the icy inhospitable weather of the area.
The Serengiti: Africa’s Serengiti is perhaps fodder for more National Geographic and Discovery documentaries than anything else. With the highest concentration of large mammals, one could be forgiven for forgetting the political unrest and civil war that continues to plague other parts of Africa.
Well, peeps that is a lot of places that I now have an absolute yearning to visit.
