If you suffer from acne you know how it can impede your life. It
can shake your confidence and even lead to hopelessness and
depression. Toni Ann Johnson suffered with adult acne for years,
and continued to suffer even while under the care of physicians who
prescribed the requisite medications: antibiotics, Accutane and
Retin A. Finally, she sought ways to control acne that were
effective, affordable, and salutary for the body, rather than
deleterious. After years of researching what worked and what
didn't, she found a path that led to being acne free. Two types of
bacteria contribute to acne: Propionibacterium Acnes and
Staphylococcus Aures. These are found not only on the surface of
the skin, but also within the intestines. When you take
antibiotics, you kill the bacteria and your skin clears up. But
antibiotics are not only expensive, they disrupt healthy intestinal
flora, which can lead to other problems. The book contains
information on effective, inexpensive, and healthful ways to
control bacteria. Oily skin and fluctuating hormone levels do not
make acne inevitable. You will learn how to achieve clear skin
despite overactive oil glands. VIBRANT and CLEAR is a
comprehensive, yet fun to read, and easy to follow guide that will
empower readers in their ability to achieve and maintain healthy,
glowing skin.
A woman in her 40s who looks decades younger, Toni Ann Johnson has
often been asked for the secret to her youthfulness. Finally, she's
written a book that shares the many facets of a youth engendering
lifestyle. As she explains, there is no "one thing," it's
everything. From skincare, to diet and exercise, to internal
emotional work, the book is a combination of family secrets, a
lifetime of experience studying health and beauty, and researched
anti-aging facts. Vibrating Youth reads like a conversation with a
girlfriend, yet it's thorough and substantive enough to help you
create valuable, lasting changes that will leave you younger,
inside and out.
In 1962 Philip Arrington, a psychologist with a PhD from Yeshiva,
arrives in the small, mostly blue-collar town of Monroe, New York,
to rent a house for himself and his new wife. They're Black,
something the man about to show him the house doesn't know. With
that, we're introduced to the Arringtons: Phil, Velma, his daughter
Livia (from a previous marriage), and his youngest, Madeline, soon
to be born. They're cosmopolitan. Sophisticated. They're also
troubled, arrogant, and throughout the linked stories, falling
apart. We follow the family as Phil begins his private practice, as
Velma opens her antiques shop, and as they buy new homes, collect
art, go skiing, and have overseas adventures. It seems they've made
it in the white world. However, young Maddie, one of the only Black
children in town, bears the brunt of the racism and the invisible
barriers her family's money, education, and determination can't
free her from. As she grows up and realizes her father is sleeping
with white women, her mother is violently mercurial, and her
half-sister resents her, Maddie must decide who she is despite, or
perhaps precisely because of, her family.
