Solutions for Yellow Nails
Q: I want to switch to a sheer nail polish for summer, but my nails are yellow. What’s going on, and what can I do?
A: While they’re not attractive, yellow nails are most often harmless. Here are some common causes and solutions:
Dark nail polishes, such as red, deep purple, and the ever-popular black, can stain your natural nails, leaving them a dingy yellow color even after you’ve removed the polish itself. The longer you leave your polish on, the greater the risk of staining, even if you use a base coat. Lighter polishes can also stain your nails after a few weeks, so it’s a good idea to change your polish every week or two (don’t just add more polish on top), and always apply a base coat first to protect your nails. If the staining is severe, a manicurist can gently buff off the stain, although doing this too frequently can make your nails thin and weak. The good news is that if the staining is caused by polish, the discoloration will eventually grow out with the nail.
Fungus infections can also turn nails yellow. However, often only a few nails are affected, at least at first, and they’re usually thick and crumbly. A dermatologist can do a simple, painless fungal culture to test for infection.
Psoriasis can cause yellow-brown discolored nails, although the discoloration is often accompanied by other nail changes, like lifting of the nail plate, as well as psoriasis rashes on the skin itself.
Yellow nails can also be associated with chronic lung disease — an uncommon condition called yellow nail syndrome, which produces thick, slow-growing, yellow nails on the fingers and toes. The discoloration usually resolves if the lung disease is successfully treated.
Stressed out? Try these oils
Stressed out a home, work or with life? Use these oils to bring back the balance:
 |
Geranium: emotionally balancing. |
 |
Rose: aside from its lovely intoxicating, floral aroma, rose oil is known for its balancing effect on female hormones and its ability to calm the mind. |
 |
Clary Sage: used to help as an antidepressant |
Put one drop of each oil on one facial tissue, cup between your hands and inhale deeply. This should help you regain your balance.
Enjoy!

Majoram for headaches…
Did you know that marjoram is great for headaches.
Marjoram essential oil is anti-spasmodic which can relieve muscle pain, cramps, headaches, migraines and stiffness.
Just put 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond with a few drops of Majoram essential oil then rub onto the back of your neck and shoulders.
Do not use if pregnant and avoid use while driving or drinking due to its sedating properties.

Press Release: bluebasins bath & body is a Sponsor of DJ’s for Haiti Event
TORONTO, Ontario, 19 February, 2010 bluebasins bath & body, an online provider of all natural skin care products, is proud to announce today that it is one of the gift raffle sponsors for the Black Women and Women of African Descent (BWWAD) DJ’s for Haiti Event.
This event will be taking place today, Friday February 19, 2010 at 7:00pm at the Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil St., Toronto, Ontario Canada, one block south of Spadina & College.
“The devastation which occurred in Haiti is heartbreaking,” says Makeda Paul, owner of <a href=” alt=”" />bluebasins bath & body, “so when BWWAD enquired whether we would be interested in becoming a sponsor of their DJ’s for Haiti event, we were very happy to oblige.” bluebasins bath & body’s sponsorship entails a gift basket filled with a variety of their natural skin care products which were created by hand, with all-natural ingredients.
“From our experience, we find that a high percentage of the funds raised by mainstream International Development efforts tend to be spent in admin costs in the countries of origin,” as quoted from BWWAD’s blog to which bluebasins agrees. “The money raised from the DJ’s for Haiti event will go directly to support Haitian women’s organizations including ENFOFANM, meaning it will go directly where it is most needed,” adds Paul.
“We are happy to participate in this endeavour to help with Haiti’s recovery,” Paul says, “and we are looking forward to the fundraiser.”
The gift basket holds items such as their:
- Rose, Calendula, Lavender Facial Steam
- Queen of Shea Butter Soap
- Hair Honey
- Seaweed, Chamomile, Green Tea & Herb Polishing Facial Scrub
- Toga Towel and
- Soap Pocket
