New studies are showing a link between breakouts and diets heavy in high-glycemic foods
Like highly refined carbs(white bread, pasta and potatoes) and sweets. A low-sugar, low-refined-carb diet reduces the level of insulin in the blood also lowers the level of androgens, a hormone that stimulates the glands in the skin to produce oil and, hence, zits. (The increase in androgen toward the end of the menstrual cycle helps explain why some women get monthly breakouts.)

Imagine the joy of children as they flip through the pages of a colorful book and see their name woven into the storyline. The personalized concept encourages children to read and makes learning fun because they’re reading about themselves and friends. Personalized books build children’s self-esteem and self-image because they are the stars of the stories. All stories are thoughtfully written to convey positive, wholesome messages.
