It’s Easter time again, the time of year where we all like to over-indulge to the max, consuming more than our bodyweight in chocolate and feeling the worse for it come Monday morning. A better idea than munching our way through galaxies and Mars bars, which if taste is anything to go by isn’t even real chocolate anyway, would be to set off a Wish Lantern These beauties would be a wonderful marker of this religious festival. In fact releasing a lantern is almost a re-enactment of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sort of. Well, perhaps not. If you were to set off a sky lantern instead of punishing your body needlessly, then you would probably have an infinitely more rewarding and enjoyable Easter time. Perhaps you could even marry the two activities in some way. Why not attach a small bar of chocolate to a lantern and watch it rise and drift majestically out of your grasp. Or perhaps you might even- with a little imagination and dexterity- be able to fashion your own chocolate lantern. Simply buy a tulip shaped mould, pour in some melted chocolate, leave to set, and hey presto, you have your very own chocolate wish lantern, an alternative to an Easter egg perhaps. The only problem is, it may melt, and it certainly wouldn’t float!

Walter Elias Disney, born in Chicago, Illinois, spent his early years in Missouri. As young as he was back then, he already displayed a keen interest in art. He sold his drawings to neighbors in order to earn money. Later on, Walt took art and photography classes which helped develop his appreciation for nature and wildlife.

When Walt joined the Red Cross, he went to France and drove an ambulance that he festooned with cartoons, instead of the usual stock camouflage.

Eventually, Walt pursued a career in commercial art and started a small company, called Laugh-O-Grams, which went bankrupt. Walt did not give up and went to Hollywood where he gained recognition for his Alice Comedies. In 1932, he received his first Academy Award for Flowers and Trees. That year also marked Goofy’s first appearance; followed by Donald Duck in 1934. In 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was shown to the public. This then led to the creation of Walt Disney Productions, which joined together Walt Disney Enterprises, Disney Film Recording Company, and Liled Realty and Investment Company.

Walt Disney came up with more cartoon hits like Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.

In 1944, the company had money problems and decided to reissue Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Its success helped gather enough revenues and set a trend for animated reissues.

Disney animation has remained incredibly popular all through the years, even with the emergence of new technology and modern animation concepts.

The company’s success can be attributed to the fact that its creator, the mighty Walt Disney, never gave up. His optimism and imagination made the impossible seem possible. His employees and successors carry on this practice as Disney continues to produce one success after another.

Every year, thousands of dollars are spent by millions of men and women around the world towards buying products and services that offer a silky smooth skin without any risks and dangers. However, many of the claims made by these products are far from being true. One product that is increasingly becoming popular in the recent times is a hair removal lotion. Hair removal lotions are actually alkaline chemical suspensions containing a chemical ingredient that is capable of dissolving the hair protein. Applying lotions is a cost-effective way of removing excess hair and even the results last for a couple of weeks before the hair starts to grow again.

However, hair removal lotions are associated with certain disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that these products are capable of causing allergic reactions on certain skin types. The intensity of allergic reaction varies according to the skin type and can range anything between a minor skin irritation associated with formation of red bumps to a reaction that can be more life threatening. These products are also known to cause conditions such as chemical burns and skin rash. Also, the products should never be used by people having sensitive skin or skin that already has a rash. Most of these disadvantages are indicated on the bottles in the form of caution statements. It is important to read and follow these statements for ensuring better and safe results.
