What is Helium

About me - Brenda Adams

I am a new mom, and love every minute of it. I have always loved to write, and enjoy it as a relaxing way to pass time. As I got older and took on the responsibilities of adulthood I neglected my writing. So, I am glad to have Helium as my creative outlet.

Home & Garden > Cleaning Kitchens The properties of vinegar as an all-natural household cleaner: 5 of 7
I use vinegar to clean all sorts of things in my home. The reason I like it so much is it's all natural and safe to use in all situations. Glass cleaner: Just mix some with water and spray on any glass surface. For a streak free shine, use newspaper to wipe the glass instead of paper towels. Bathroom Cleaner: Vinegar works g... More..
Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) The importance of age and experience for thoroughbred horses: 3 of 4
Thoroughbred horse racing is a catch twenty two for me. I love to watch and admire the incredible horse flesh. However, my heart breaks to see them race so young. I have had horses my entire life and have spent the better part of it in a saddle. I understand how horses develop and how long that takes. A two year old horse is... More..
Style & Beauty > Tanning & Sunscreen Should minors be allowed to use tanning beds?: 14 of 18
Yes, I believe that minors should be allowed to tan. But I do feel that there should be restrictions put on this privilege. I own a tanning salon, and we do have quite a few teenagers that come in and tan. However, we do require parental consent, and I don't feel that the majority of these kids are abusing the beds. Our bigg... More..
Health & Fitness > Pediatrics Has the widespread use of sunscreen contributed to vitamin D deficiency in children?: 4 of 5
I do think that people in this country have a tendency to take things too far. Sunscreen is no exception. The sun is the giver of life to all things on this planet. Humans are no different. Everything must use the sun and it's rays (yes, the UVA and UVB ones too) to sustain life. Take plants for example, without sunlight, th... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?: 106 of 131
I believe that any two people who love each other should be allowed to proclaim that love to the rest of the world without fear of judgment from others. There is nothing unholy about the love shared between two hearts. I don't feel that the legal union of gay and lesbian couples hurts anyone. I do not feel that the union of ... More..
Pets & Animals > Dogs (Other) Are Pit Bulls man's best friend or murderous beast?: 105 of 122
Murderous Beast? Are you kidding me? As I sit here writing this article, I am watching my baby boy (a Pit Bull cross) snuggled up on the couch next to my husband and his baby sister (an Australian Shepard). We rescued "Cutter" from the pound nearly seven years ago. He has been an integral part of the family since then. He ca... More..
Health & Fitness > Alternative Therapies The health benefits of massage therapy: 25 of 29
Massage therapy is one of the oldest and most beneficial therapies in the world. Other than the obvious statement that massage feels nice, their are many health benefits associated with this modality. First and foremost, massage increases circulation to all areas of your body. Increased circulation means that more fresh bloo... More..
Style & Beauty > Hand & Foot Care What to expect from a pedicure: 7 of 8
Pedicures are an easy and (usually) inexpensive way to pamper yourself. These services can vary widely from salon to salon and fit in all price ranges. However, the basic service is the same wherever you go. Here are a few tips on what to look for when getting a pedicure. First and foremost, the environment means everything.... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Care & Health Dog safety tips: Poisons that threaten a dog: 10 of 11
I have been a dog owner all of my life, and I consider myself a very good "doggy mom." We do not feed our dogs anything but the food that has been made for them. We do this in an effort to keep our dogs happy and healthy. However, we all know that dogs are unpredictable, smart, and sometimes just plain crazy. About a year ag... More..
Business > Business News & Issues Should there be a maximum limit that businesses can pay their CEO?: 19 of 20
Yes, there should be a limit put on how much a CEO should make. No, this should not be a dollar amount. Let me explain. Businesses come in all sizes, so to put a dollar amount on this would be ridiculous. Instead, however, I feel that a CEO's salary should be based on a percentage of the company's income. There would be seve... More..
