stress relief managing
All stress isn’t bad. Stress can initiate change, help us focus on the task at hand, and in some cases even save our lives. Yet, when stress builds up, it can result in the opposites— and cause us to spin our wheels, keep us from concentrating, and cause bodily injury and even loss of life.
The first tip in managing stress is to recognize your stressors. The next step is to put each of them in their place. The following stress management tips, based on some old and some new adages, can help you do just that!
Take a Deep Breath and Count to Ten—Taking a deep breath or two adds oxygen to your system, which almost instantly helps you relax. In addition, taking a moment to step back can help you maintain your composure, which in the long run, is what you need to work rationally through a stressful situation.
Start with “take a deep breath” and…
1. Count to ten (or more or less as the situation warrants!)2. Stand up and stretch. Remember relaxation is the opposite of stress.3. Stand up and smile. Try it! You’ll feel better!4. Take a short walk. If you’re at work, take a bathroom break or get a glass of water. Do something that changes your focus. When you come back to the problem, chances are it won’t seem nearly as insurmountable.5. In the book Gone With the Wind, Scarlett O’hara says, “I can’t think about that right now. If I do, I’ll go crazy. I’ll think about that tomorrow.” Good advice!
Stop and Smell the Roses—“Things happen” and sometimes “bad things happen to good people”. If we let them, stressful events can build up, wall us in, and eventually stop us from enjoying the good things in life.
1. Take the time. Too often we put the pleasantries of life on the back burner, telling ourselves we don’t “have time” or can’t “make time” for them. However, actually, time is the only thing we do completely own. While we can’t “make” a day that’s longer than 24 hours, each of us starts the day with exactly that amount of time. Take a part of your time to recognize the good things in your life.2. Sleep on it. Every coin has two sides and every issue has both pros and cons. List them both then put the list away and take a second look tomorrow. Sometimes “sleeping on” a situation changes the minuses to pluses.3. Every cloud has a silver lining. After all, rain makes things grow! Ben Franklin found good in a bolt of lightning. Find the good in your stressful situation by listing the negative surges and determining what it will take to make them into positive charges!
“A Man’s Got to Know His Limitations—”Knowing yourself and your limits may be the most important way to manage stress effectively.
1. Dare to say no. One more little thing may be the “straw that breaks the camel’s back”. It’s okay to say “No”, “I can’t”, or “Later”.2. Acquit yourself. Sometimes events really are out of control and you really are “Not Guilty”. Quit blaming yourself.3. Be pro-active in finding peace. Those who unsuccessfully use the crutches of drugs and/or alcohol to alleviate stress often find themselves in a twelve-step program like A.A. where one of the mainstays is the Serenity Prayer:
“God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference.”
4. When you need help, get help. Even Atlas couldn’t bear the weight of the world on his shoulders forever. Whether you need help from kids or spouse in hauling groceries into the house, help from a colleague to solve a work-related problem, or professional help to find the causes of and effectively manage your stress, getting the help you need is in itself a major stress management tip!
Other Tips
* Get a good night’s rest.* Eat healthily.* Listen to your favorite music.* Exercise, participate in a sport or engage in fun activity.* Plan out your time and prioritize.* Talk to a friend about your problems, don’t hold it in.* Get a massage.* Take a nap.* Take a warm bath.* Read a book or watch TV.

parenting of kids
When you have a new baby, routines fly out the window.
Babies have their own time clocks, especially for the first six weeks or so.
Family and friends may suggest getting your baby to eat, sleep and play at regular times. Babies have their own ideas about all this!
It takes time for a pattern to develop and it will be your baby’s pattern.
Try not to compare your baby with others - they are all different.
Trying to organise the needs of everyone is sometimes very difficult. Newborn babies are very demanding. Sometimes baby’s needs must come first but you’ll also have to think of others in the family.
Some give and take is needed in any family.
Some parents get upset because they think their baby is being naughty.
Punishments are useless, baby’s crying or ‘misbehaviour’ is an expression of a need - they may be hungry, have a dirty nappy or a pain.
Babies are not deliberately naughty, they need love, comfort and tender loving care.

school parenting tips
Homework Problems:1- Performs below his or her potential at school2- Has average or better intelligence, with no learning disabilities3- Doesn’t finish schoolwork or homework4- “Forgets,” loses, or doesn’t turn in finished homework5- “Doesn’t remember” what parents have taught6- Gets poor report card7- Doesn’t want any help
Some children develop bad habits with their homework because they become preoccupied with TV programs or video games. Some middle school children become sidetracked by their hormones or by sports. Other children who find schoolwork difficult would simply rather play. If parents help these children cut back other activities to reasonable amounts and count on the teacher to grade the child’s efforts on schoolwork and homework, most of these children will improve. Motivation for good grades eventually comes from a desire to please the teacher and be admired by peers, enjoyment in knowing things, the ability to see studying as a pathway to a future career, knowledge that she needs an above average grade point to be accepted into college, and wanting to achieve her goals and improve should she fall short of those goals.
When parents over respond to this behavior and exert pressure for better performance, they can start a power struggle around schoolwork. “Forgetfulness” becomes a game. The child sees the parents’ pressure as a threat to his independence. More pressure brings more resistance. Poor grades become the child’s best way of proving that he is independent of his parents and that he can’t he pushed. Good evidence for this is the child does worse in the areas where he receives the most help. If parental interference with a child’s schoolwork continues for several years, the child becomes a school “underachiever”.
Helping your child regain responsibility for schoolwork1.Get out of the middle regarding homework2.Coordinate your plan with your child’s teacher.3.Limit TV until schoolwork improves.4.Consider adding incentives for improved school work5.Consider removing other privileges for falloff in school work.

MEHNDI HENNA TIPS TRICKS

mehndi tips tricks how it works
Mehndi means henna, but it is most commonly used in the west as a term for the designs painted on the hands, feet, or other parts of the body, using henna as the stain. This makes what is sometimes called a “temporary tattoo”, though by definition, a tattoo is put into the skin using a needle.
Mehndi are widely used throughout southern and western Asia and Africa. Sometimes this is to protect the skin from the sun, sometimes for weddings, and sometimes for simple beautification. It depends on the culture and local area customs.
There are many recipes for henna mehndi, but the most common use some sort of adhesive to hold the henna on the skin long enough to stain it, and acid to set it. Sometimes other ingredients containing tannins or other natural dyes, such as coffee or indigo, are added to the mix to make it darker. A plain, natural henna stain is light orange-brown. Black pekoe tea will make it a little richer brown. Freshly ground coffee will make it a very rich brown. Beet juice will make it red. Indigo will give it a bluish tint, and black walnut hulls will make it dark brown. To make a black stain safely takes indigo and black walnut hulls. If it has anything else in it, be very wary. With any chemical or dye, even if it’s natural, take care to do an allergy test before marking larger areas of the body.
How long does Mehndi color last?
Mehndi usually lasts for at least one to two weeks. I have heard of people saying that mehndi can last from two to four weeks; however, this figure is misleading because the length mehndi will stay depends on a number of factors.· How often you wash your hands · What kind of soap you use· Your skin quality and heat in your body· Location of the mehndi on the body
Henna works by staining the outer layers of the epidermis, permanently. The reason why your stain itself is impermanent is because our skin exfoliates off. So the deeper our mehndi stains, the longer our design lasts. Thus, it is important to be aware of the contributing factors to a henna design’s latency. Strong soap and hand-washing shortens the life of a henna stain because it exfoliates our skin. If we take our exfoliation theory farther, we note the palm of one’s hands exfoliates much faster than the back of the hands; thus, henna on the palm lasts less than half as long as henna on the back of the hand.
What do you do after applying the mehndi?
The next step in the process of applying mehndi is to wait. The mehndi takes as long as 4-6 hours to achieve the darkest color. However if you want a light color then you can wash mehndi early. If you feel prolonged itchiness that makes you want to remove the henna immediately, please do so; the feeling could indicate the presence of substances to which you may be allergic.

Face powder tips
use loose powder to set makeup and compact powder for easy touch-ups during the day or night. For excessively oily skin, use Translucent Ultra Matte Powder.
For warmer climates or in the summer, take special care to set your foundation with a loose powder, as heat tends to create slipping or running of your foundation. This is especially so in the case of cream foundation as they tend to have a higher oil content.
Set your foundations with a Sacha Cosmetics Loose Powder. Keep your compact powder handy for touch ups during the day. If you ’shine’ a lot you should use an oil absorbent powder such as Sacha’s Ultra Matte Powders in Light, Medium or Dark.
Dust a light layer of pressed powder over the face. A pressed powder with an SPF 15 that includes the UVA-protecting ingredients avobenzone, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide is an excellent option to assure all day sun protection.
Too much color? Most makeup artists dust on a layer of loose powder or pressed powder to take off the edge.

SKIN TYPES and care

skin types and skin care
With the skin being one of the largest organs of the body, it’s no wonder how much emphasis is placed on caring for it. The skin is also the most visual of all organs and good skin care means a more beautiful, healthy you. Our genetics, race, and age all play a factor in our skin type. How our skin reacts to our diet, hormones, the environment, and climate we live in can help us determine how to choose the best skin care products and the most effective way treat our problem areas. We’ll outline four common skin types:
Normal SkinNormal skin feels comfortable and requires the least attention. Those lucky enough with this skin type have a proper balance of moisture and oil production to have smooth, healthy skin with minimum breakouts. Cleansing with a mild soap every day and using a light moisturizer if needed is usually enough for this low-maintenance skin type.
Dry SkinDry skin can affect any age group but it’s more common as we get older. It’s uncomfortable and tight, often with dry patches that can get irritated and itchy. Because of the lack of oil, dry skin is prone to fine lines and wrinkles appearing. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer often, underneath makeup and before bedtime to increase the comfort level and reduce your chances of unwanted lines.
Oily skinOily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands work overtime and provide too much oil, giving our skin a shiny and sometimes greasy appearance. Large pores often are a characteristic of those with an oily skin type and teenagers frequently experience pimples and acne, reducing their self-esteem. Fortunately, there are many products on the market today to keep the oil in check, thus reducing or eliminating any scarring that may occur. Use of makeup and powder soaks up excessive oil while minimizing shine.
T- zoneCombination skin is the trickiest to care for because some areas are dry, some oily and some may be perfectly normal. Oily areas are usually in the t-zone and forehead while dry areas are common on the outer areas of the cheeks. Use of hair care products that come into contact with the skin around the hairline can cause an unwanted drying affect. There’s no one product that magically solves problems for each individual area so it’s best to take the time to treat combination skin types accordingly.

Avoiding Breast Cancer…
Here are a number of other steps you should be taking at different stages in your life in order to reduce your risk of breast cancer as far as possible.
In your 20s:1- Perform regular monthly breast self-examinations by age 20.2- Begin having clinical breast exams every three years beginning in your 20s.3- Begin familiarizing yourself with your family history and pay special attention to added risk factors for developing breast cancer, such as family members with breast cancer or obesity.4- Monitor your alcohol intake — numerous studies have shown that high levels of alcohol intake probably increase the risk of breast cancer. If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation — less than one drink a day.
In your 30s:1- Continue regular breast self-exams.2- Eat healthy — for overall wellness and possibly to decrease the risk for developing breast cancer, it is recommended that women consume a well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.3- Begin an exercise regimen — physical activity may help lower your risk from breast cancer. Exercise reduces estrogen levels, fights obesity, lowers insulin levels and boosts the function of immune system cells that attack tumors.
In your 40s:1- Start getting clinical breast examination by a medical professional annually and continue regular monthly breast self-examinations.2- Know the impact of different factors on breast cancer risk and pay special attention to those that affect you. See the first link below for an excellent listing of your risk factors.3- Maintain your weight — the effect of adult weight on the risk of breast cancer is different among pre- and post-menopausal women. Before menopause, it appears that being somewhat overweight decreases a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer. After menopause, being overweight increases the risk of the disease.
HIV-Symptoms And Safety Measures

HIV-Symptoms And Safety Measures
Symptoms Of AidsAIDS can be an extremely deceptive disease.Many infected people experience no symptoms at all, till the disease has reached a very advanced stage.When people do experience symptoms, some of the more common ones are stomachaches, headaches, fever and rashes over the skin.
A major problem is that the HIV can remain undetected in a persons body for long periods of time.So, during these periods, any form of testing for HIV will not throw up any conclusive results.
It is only when the immune system starts manufacturing antibodies to combat the HIV infection that an infected person will test positive for AIDS.Therefore, it is not the HIV that the test detects, but the antibodies that the body’s immune system secretes, in response to this attack on it.
Do’s And Don’ts In The Context Of The AIDS Epidemic:
A- Drug Use
1- If you are a substance user, never share a needle or syringe with another person, however well known to you.It has been proved that the HIV can very easily survive in a syringe that has been infected by someone, for a period of one month.
2- Rather than trying to sterilise a used syringe, it is much more advisable to utilise a fresh syringe each time, as you may or may not be able to disinfect and HIV-infected syringe successfully.
B- Safe Sex
1- It would be unfair, and asking for too much, to expect someone to abstain from sex completely.However as far as possible, stick to one partner, whom you know, is not HIV-Positive, through a proper medical checkup.
2- Always use a condom.If the female partner uses a diaphragm. or some other barrier to sexual fluids, then that is added protection(in addition to male condom).
3- Remember that homosexual couples are a high risk group.As far as possible avoid such relationships.Even in the case of heterosexual couples, avoid anal or rectal intercourse.
4- If you choose to use a lubricant, use a water-based one, since this will lower the chances of a condom or diaphragm breaking.
5- If you indulge in oral sex, always use some form of protective barrier, such as condom, or whatever is appropriate in the given circumstances.
C- Using A Condom Effectively
1- Always use a condom which is fairly rugged, so as to minimise the risk of breaking during intercourse.In this regard, latex rubber condoms are preferable to others.Also, a condom that is already lubricated, is a great advantage.
2- As far as possible, use a condom that sells with spermicide, as a lot of spermicides, in addition to killing sperms also kills viruses.
3- Never use an old condom, especially if the expiry date has already passed.There are greater chances of an old, worn-out condom tearing, than in the case of a new one.
4- Always use a new condom each time you have sex.A condom, once it is used, undergoes a certain degree of wear and tear, it is not to be reused.
5- Open the package containing the condom very carefully, so that it does not tear in the process.
6- Never attemp to wear a condom over a flaccid penis.It just wont work.Wait till you get a proper erection.
7- Never wear a condom just before you enter your partner.You would have already reached a certain level of sexual excitement, and if you ejaculate prematurely, your sperm just might enter your partner’s vaginal canal, if your genitals are in very close proximity of hers.
8- If you are not circumcised always roll back your foreskin before putting the condom on.
9- Remember to remove your penis from your partner’s vaginal canal while it is still erect.If you wait till it becomes flaccid, your ejaculate(semen) will spill out.
Also during intercourse if you feel that the condom is going to slip off, then hold it at the base(where your penis meets your testicles) to guard against this danger.

Breast Cancer is Killing 40,000 Women in Pakistan every Year:(

Breast Cancer is Killing 40,000 Women in Pakistan every Year:(
Over 90,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year in Pakistan and the disease claims about 40,000 deaths in the country each year reveals a shocking new report. The country spends 0.57 per cent of the GDP on health, which is the lowest in South Asia, says the report “A life worth living,” prepared by the Pink Ribbon Campaign Pakistan ahead of a month-long awareness campaign being launched in October worldwide. While the unreported cases are expected to be much more, even with the existing figures Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer in Asia.About one of every nine Pakistani women is likely to suffer from breast cancer at some point in her life, whereas in India it is one in 22, says the report. Every fifth woman in Pakistan develops breast cancer after the age of 40. About 77 per cent of invasive breast cancer occurs in women over 50 years of age. The average age at diagnosis is 64.
However, a majority of Pakistani women are reluctant to consult doctors and be examined because of shyness and social customs. As a result, women are unaware of the dangers of breast cancer, Omar Aftab, National Coordinator of Pink Ribbon Campaign Pakistan, says. He said the organisation was set up in Pakistan in 2004, when the Women’s Empowerment Group observed the astonishingly high breast cancer prevalence here.
It was found that breast cancer was one of the fastest growing national concerns, but was being neglected at all levels due to social and cultural restraints. A nationwide awareness campaign was initiated to project breast cancer as a premier health concern. The report says women form about 52 per cent of the population, 68 per cent rural and 32 per cent urban. Overall, female literacy rate is 35 per cent, but 77 per cent of the women have not completed higher secondary school.The biggest challenge is to direct a message that enunciates early detection and self-diagnosis steps without offending the stern social and cultural beliefs. Poor access to healthcare, lack of medical facilities and infrastructure not only limits the early diagnosis but also hinders treatment.The government and private hospitals lack resources to provide adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities to the growing number of patients. The number of specialist physicians, oncologists and radiologists specifically lady doctors is too low and specialised facilities are limited to some main cities.
“The available human resource in the health sector in Pakistan is dismally low as it shows a ratio of 1,254 people per doctor, 2,671 per nurse, 6,235 per midwife and 18,318 per lady health visitor,” the report says. When women, after overcoming lots of obstacles in the house when reach a hospital for consultation and found that the doctor concerned is not present they find it difficult to visit again. A delay in diagnosis, in many cases, proves fatal.
In the past, the report says, running a breast cancer awareness campaign in Pakistan also required a change in media’s attitude. As, even now, research and development are at their lowest and the absence of a cancer registry substantiates this.

TOp 10 weight LOSS tips
1- Don’t cut out all the food you enjoy. I like the occasional takeaway, but now I save up calories to have one or earn it. If I restricted myself to just fruit and veg I’d give up very quickly. I also found that I could still eat my favourite foods if I ‘tweak’ them a bit: low fat cheese, low fat spread instead of butter, light mozzarella etc. Also the best thing I did was get olive oil spray
2- Write everything down. Even (or especially) on bad/splurge days. It’s only if you write things down that you know what you are doing. I’m not saying don’t have the Peking Duck. I am saying, at least know what having the Peking Duck means
3- I find sticking a wedding invitation or holiday photograph of destinations I want to visit in a prominent place in the kitchen. This is a bit more subtle than a fat photograph of yourself and reminds you when you are tempted
4- Use scales in the kitchen - it’s amazing how easy it is to deceive oneself
5- I think it is a good idea to buy some new clothes when you are down a size or two. That way, you are reminded of what you have achieved and not to go back to old sizes. Chuck out the old stuff or give it away
6- Life is too short so build in treats! Ok my weight loss is nice and slow but I don’t feel like I am on a diet or that I am depriving myself of anything (including chocolate and cheese
7- Be honest with yourself. Ok, if you go over the required cals, but keep a record, it’s the average calorie intake that matters
8- It is not rocket science, but I am convinced that exercising is the key to success with sustained weight loss. I try to vary my routine, including the cross trainer and walking regularly, and cycling and swimming occasionally
9- Always measure alcohol consumed at home carefully, as it is easy to fool yourself
10- Don’t ever give up! You are going to get bad days/weeks; it happens! Just get straight back on it and limit the damage

Start by prepping the eyebrowBrush the brush into place with toothbrush or clean mascara wand, so that their natural shape is neatly defined. Next, apply an astringent such as witch hazel to anesthetize the skin under the brow. Discover your natural brow shape by standing several feet away from a mirror, and following these simple steps
The length of the eyebrowHold a ruler parallel to your nose, and level with the inner corner of the eye, to work out where the brow should begin. If your eyes are close together, make the gap between the brows wider. If your eyes are far apart, don't wax the start line of the brow too much so that they are closer together. Mark the correct point with a dot.
The curve of the eyebrowYou can assess where the highest point of the curve/ arch should be by holding a ruler from the edge of the nostril past the outer edge of the iris (the colored part of the eye) and up to the eyebrow. Mark the spot with a dot.
Now line up the dots in a gentle arch to draw on the ideal shape of the eyebrow that you want to achieve. This will give you a guideline to go by when applying the wax. You should aim for a smooth arched brow that tapers slightly at the outer ends.
What to consider when applying the waxI recommend that you buy a professional waxing kit - basically a jar or tub of wax which can be warmed up in boiling water and applied with a small applicator or spatula, and (usually muslin) removal strips. Each product varies slightly, so be sure to read the manufacturers directions carefully
Warm up the wax to optimum temperature and use the small spatula to apply a thin layer of wax to the growth. Make sure that you only use a small amount of wax on the spatula to avoid the wax dripping when it is applied. Apply wax with the hair growth under the eyebrow, (i.e. in the same direction that the hair grows in). Be careful a little goes a long way and make sure to avoid letting the wax dry
The hair removal processNever wax above the eyebrow, only shape from below. Waxing from under the brow will widen your eyes and help to get the line even. This will make you look younger and much more glamorous if done correctly! As soon as it is applied remove the wax against the hair growth, (i.e. in the opposite direction that the hair grows in). This is done by gently smoothing a piece of cotton muslin over the waxed area, pulling the skin taut with one hand, and pulling the muslin off with the other.
It is a good idea to take a little hair off at a time, especially if you have fairly this growth. You will be surprised how much difference a little hair removal will make to your appearance.
The final stepAny straggly hairs left over after waxing can be easily plucked out using a set of good tweezers. Apply a soothing balm like tea tree oil onto the area afterwards. You should avoid direct sunlight, acid based facial treatments, and liquid makeup for several hours.
To give the gorgeous new eyebrow shape emphasis, use an eyebrow pencil or tinted brow shadow to subtly fill in any gaps, and even out the natural color tone. Congratulations you have successfully waxed your own eyebrows!

The benefits of Laughter to Reduce StressLaughter's benefits on your health are no joke.
The benefits of Laughter to Reduce StressLaughter's benefits on your health are no joke.
A sense of humor can't cure all ailments, but data are mounting about the things that laughter can do.
Short-term benefitsA good laugh has great short-term effects. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body, beginning with your face. Laughter can:
Stimulate your organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.
Activate your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response and increases your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.
Soothe tension and tummy aches. Laughter can also ease digestion and stimulate circulation, which helps reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.
Long-term effects
Laughter isn't only good for a quick pick-me-up, though. It's also good for you over the long haul. Laughter may:
Improve your immune system. Negative thoughts manifest into chemical reactions that can impact your body by bringing more stress into your system and decreasing your immunity. In contrast, positive thoughts actually release neuropeptides that help fight stress and potentially more serious illnesses. In fact, in one study, people with cancer who watched a humorous video showed less stress and an increase in a particular cell activity that's beneficial in fighting diseases such as HIV and cancer.
Relieve pain. Research increasingly shows that laughter may ease pain by causing the body to produce its own natural painkillers.
Increase personal satisfaction. Laughter can also make difficult situations a little bit easier. One study of nurses who work in emergency rooms found that nurses who use humor in dealing with their patients and co-workers experience greater job satisfaction and feelings of personal accomplishment than do those who remain dour during their shifts.
How to have - or gain - a sense of humorAre you afraid you have an underdeveloped - or nonexistent - funny bone? Developing or refining your own particular sense of humor may be easier than you think.
Put humor on your horizon. Find a few simple items, such as photos or comic strips, that elicit a chuckle from you or others. Then hang them at home, in your office or even on the visor of your car.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Develop a sense of humor about your own situation and watch your stress begin to fade away.
Think positive. Look for the positive or the humorous in every situation and surround yourself with others who do the same.
Knock-knock. Browse through your local bookstore or library's selection of joke books and get a few rib-ticklers in your repertoire that you can share with friends.
Know what isn't funny. Don't laugh at the expense of others. Some forms of humor are not appropriate. Use your best judgment to discern a good joke from a bad, or hurtful, one.
Laughter is the best medicineGo ahead and give it a try. Turn the corners of your mouth up into a smile and then give a laugh, even if it feels a little forced. Once you've had your hearty chuckle, take stock of how you're feeling. Are your muscles a little less tense? Do you feel more relaxed or buoyant? That's the natural wonder of laughing at work.

Change in our life can cause stress and anxiety, especially if we perceive this change as negative.
Unfortunately stress can cause physiological effects such as muscle tension, stomach aches and even headaches.
Tips to reduce stress and its side effects
:Progressive Muscle relaxation: Lay down in a quiet place, close your eyes, and breath in deeply and exhale slowly. Next tense a muscle group, such as your thigh muscles, for about 10 seconds and then relax them. It is best to start with your lower extremities and work your way up. Repeat this with other muscle groups; sholders, feet, legs, stomach and up to your head.
Meditation: Meditation is a focusing of the mind, and for many it brings peace, serenity and stress relief. Two prevelant forms of meditation are mindfulness meditation and transendental meditation.
Yoga: Besides helping manage stress, yoga helps tone muscles, improve flexibility, and improve posture
R and R: Take time to rest and relax. Be sure the rest after a lonf stressful day at work and on the weekend. Hobbies and sports are a great way to relax.
Excersise: Studies show excersise is an excellent way to reduce stress.
Keep a diary: If you have persistent worrying thoughts, write them down in a journal. This will help you put the thoughts aside.
Aromatherapy: Lavender, jasmine, frankincence, myrrh, camomile and orange essential oils are used for relaxation
Ways to boost your energy
Ways to boost your energy
Low energy levels could have some hidden causes. Here are some things to watch for.
An iron deficiency - Foods that can up your iron include meat, beans and cereals and vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron.
Allergies - An allergy can cause a lack of energy.
Poor sleep - Not getting enough sleep can zap energy levels. It is important to get eight hours of sleep but this sleep should also be uninterupted. If you're having trouble sleeping try exercising during the day. Be sure not to exercise right before you go to bed.
Low blood sugar - Be sure to eat a proper breakfast in the morning because When you wake up your body has a burst of energy which requires fueling. To keep your blood sugar level through out the day, eat smaller meals and healthier snacks every few hours and also eat before you feel hungry.
Avoid too many carbs and sugary foods like sodas and candy.
To boost your energy in the middle of that long work day, try taking a 15 minute walk. Fresh air and sunshine will also help.
Be sure you drink water. Dehydration can really zap your energy.
Five Things to look younger
Five Things to look younger
Try ThermageIf you want cosmetic surgery without the surgery, consider Thermage. In younger women, it can be comparable to a mini-face lift. For older women, it's an alternative to face-lift, but not quite an equivalent substitution.
Thermage is actually a type of radiofrequency treatment that uses heat to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. The Food and Drug Administration first approved of the technology in 2001, but only recently and after a series of equipment upgrades has Thermage begun yielding marked skin-tightening results.
The procedure is particularly attractive to people who do not want plastic surgery because it's noninvasive and requires no recovery time. The drawbacks of Thermage, however, are that it's still a rather pricey solution (depending on how many treatments you get, the entire process could costs you several thousand dollars), and clients usually have to wait three to six months for the skin's collagen to grow before seeing results.
Get a MassageMassage is not just for sore bodies-it's also an important anti-aging tool.Massage can help keep your skin nice and firm; it is like a workout for your face muscles. The idea here is that kneading muscle tissue improves blood circulation, which in turn delivers nutrients and oxygen to the treated area.
Regular facials, which involve massage, are the ticket to keeping your face looking young. The even better news is that massage works for the body, too. It is simply the best way to prevent and minimize the appearance of cellulite. It makes the entire thigh and butt area look smoother.
Even the conditions of this solution don't seem so bad. Massage therapist can reshape and improve women's bodies until about the age of 60, so you can start this at any age. (After 60, collagen fibers have difficulty retaining their full elasticity-at this point, they're like worn out rubber bands.)
Eat Away the YearsWhat you eat can affect how old you look.Foods that increase inflammation and free radical production stimulate the aging process. The good news is that this relationship also works in reverse: Eating foods that reduce inflammation and free radical production actually helps your body combat the march of time.
What, then, should an aging omnivore eat?Dine on low-mercury-"white-colored"-seafood and lots of green and white non-starchy vegetables, Eat these foods and avoid anything high in simple carbohydrates or fat-these are foods that can help accelerate the aging process.
Gobbling down white bread and sugar can also leave you (and your face) looking quite bloated. This is because, for every gram of simple carbohydrate a person consumes, their body retains three grams of water. Eliminate these foods from your diet, however, and in a few weeks, you'll notice a big difference when you look in the mirror.
Stay Young With JuvenonAnother key to looking young is feeling young.The pill, called Juvenon, contains a cocktail of natural micronutrients that aid a cellular organelle called the mitochondria. Scientists often describe mitochondria as the "powerhouse" of cells because they are the source of energy for all cellular functions.
Research has shown that as we age, our mitochondria's ability to produce energy diminishes. Consequently, this energy deficit eventually and adversely affects our mood, our central nervous system and every organ in our body-particularly our brains.
Like grease added to a squeaky wheel, Juvenon works by supplying our aged mitochondria with its missing micronutrients. As a result, the mitochondria are able to pump out as much energy as they did during their youth.
So far, in preliminary experiments involving rats, the supplement has excelled. "All that I can say is that, if you are a rat, you have reason to be ecstatic," says Ames. In these trials, Juvenon-fueled rats had higher IQ tests, less oxidative brain damage and a better immune system relative to the study's controls. In addition, the rodents' energy deficit almost entirely disappeared.
But what about humans in need of a pick-me-up pill?Nearly 100,000 people have already purchased the supplement online, though Ames says that he and his colleagues are still investigating Juvenon's impact on human aging. The biochemist also warns that the supplement's purported effect on humans (that it improves cognition, boosts energy and lowers blood pressure, among other things) is still, by and large, rooted in anecdotal evidence. Yet, the scientist concedes: "So far, everything looks pretty good."
Saving the Simplest Solution for LastAs you age, the color and texture of your hair changes and so does the color and texture of your skin. A lot of times, our old high-school makeup palettes and 20-year-old hairstyles just won't do.
Older women can start to update their look by ditching their powders and foundation (which tend to accentuate facial wrinkles and fine lines) and invest in a light, tinted moisturizer, instead. If you're in a cosmetics store, it's important to shop the faces behind the counter, the stylist urges. If you don't like the way someone looks-if their own makeup seems too wild-keep walking.
This approach also works when selecting a hair stylist. How you style your hair needs to change as you age. Just make sure you're consulting with the right people, and don't be afraid to ask for their input.
But what if your body-not just your face and hair-needs "updating"? Try body slimming undergarments. Creating a good foundation under your clothes will thin your silhouette and add polish to any outfit, the stylist says. Plus, these undergarments hide everything-stomach bulges, sagging skin.
The simplest answer to anti-aging is, of course, to learn to accept yourself-lumpy thighs, age spots, wrinkles and all. There is no scarring or anesthesia involved, and you're guaranteed to love the results

How does a chemical peel work?
How does a chemical peel work?
A combination of acids are applied to the face in varying strengths. The acid solution peels away layers of skin. Superficial peels increase cell turn over and are used to improve skin texture. It is unlikely you will experience significant wrinkle reduction
A medium or a deeper chemical peel also encourage collagen production and are more effective for treating wrinkles. The deeper the peel the more painful and the longer the recovery time. Most people experience redness and flakey skin for at least a couple of weeks.

What are the Anti Aging Procedures available today?
What are the Anti Aging Procedures available today?
There are many anti-aging procedures on the market so it is great to learn about each procedure and decide which one is the best fit for you.
Botox:Botox or botulinum endotoxin-A can produce dramatic anti aging results, similar to surgery, without the devastating side effects. Botox is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It causes a slight paralysis of the muscles around the wrinkles. This can diminish the appearance of "motion wrinkles," such as laugh lines and crow's feet. The procedure to have Botox injected under the skin can be quite costly and it's effects are only temporary, so it must be repeated several times throughout the year.
Dermabrasion:This is a procedure that utilizes microcrystals or other sanding equipment to scrape away facial skin around the affected area. It is a costly procedure that my actually require a recovery of several weeks.
Laser Resurfacing:Laser surgery is a technique that uses a controlled laser beam to remove the upper layer of damaged skin. It can visibly reduce the appearance of fine line and in come cases, deeper wrinkles. It is one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery today. However, it is an invasive surgical procedure that also has risks such as excessive scarring, infection, loss of normal skin pigmentation, skin redness and dryness.
Chemical Peels:Chemical peels involve applying a chemical substance to your skin that "burns"off the damaged layers. The gentlest type of chemical peel available is the glycolic acid peel that removes dead skin cells from the upper layer of skin only. These treatments are quick and may only require ten to fifteen minutes in the doctor's office. However, the results of chemical peels are only temporary and the procedure must be repeated frequently.

Anti Aging Tips to avoid the sun and prevent premature agingThe best way to keep your skin healthy is to avoid sun exposure
Tips to avoid the sun and prevent premature agingThe best way to keep your skin healthy is to avoid sun exposure.
What causes wrinkles?Wrinkles are caused by both genetic and environmental factors such as sunlight, make up, exposure to chemicals , cigarette smoke, and other pollutants.
Stay out of the sun. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is when the sun's UV rays are strongest. Don't let the clouds fool you. Harmful rays pass through clouds. UV radiation also can pass through water, so don't assume you're safe if you're in the water and feeling cool.
Use sunscreen. Sunscreens are rated in strength according to a sun protection factor (SPF), which ranges from 2 to 30 or higher. A higher number means longer protection. Buy products with an SPF number of 15 or higher. Also look for products whose label says: broad spectrum (meaning they protect against both types of harmful sun rays - UVA and UVB) and water resistant which means it stays on your skin longer, even if you get wet or sweat a lot. Remember to reapply the lotion as needed.
Wear protective clothing. A hat with a wide brim shades your neck, ears, eyes, and head. Look for sunglasses with a label saying the glasses block 99 to 100 percent of the sun's rays. Wear loose, lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and long pants or long skirts when in the sun.
Avoid artificial tanning. Don't use sunlamps and tanning beds, as well as tanning pills and tanning makeup. Tanning make-up products are not suntan lotions and will not protect your skin from the sun.
Check your skin often. Look for changes in the size, shape, color, or feel of birthmarks, moles, and spots. If you find any changes that worry you, see a doctor. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that older, fair-skinned people have a yearly skin check by a doctor as part of a regular physical exam.

Benefits and Uses of Sunflower Oil in your Beauty Recipes
Sunflower Oil is a popular ingredient in many skin products (over the counter and homemade). Should you include Sunflower Oil in your homemade skin care recipes? Find out more about the benefits of Sunflower Oil below.
Sunflower Oil - From Your Shower To The Table
When it comes to food, natural sunflower oil is an excellent oil of choice. It is light in taste, odorless, and rich in health essential fatty acids. However this oil is also sensitive to heat so you may want to exclude sunflower oil from baking or frying to receive it's maximum nutritional value. It can used with healthful herbs and spices as an excellent salad dressing and works great in any other "cold" recipes.
In skin care products, sunflower is one of the favorite of softening emollients. It is rich in vitamins A, D, and especially in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Sunflower oil has a light texture and is easily absorbed by skin, making it excellent for use in lotions, creams, massage oils, and other topical applications.
For many soapmakers, sunflower oil is the moisturizing oil of choice in soap recipes. Being high in linoleic fatty acid it can make a gentle skin softening soap, but the only downside is those linoleic acids also comes with a shorter shelf life than many other oils. That's why it is important that sunflower oil is balanced with other oils in proportions so that the benefits can be felt without increasing the likelihood of spoilage in soaps or any other cosmetic applications.
Use of natural preservatives such as additional vitamin E, rosemary extract, or grapefruit extract also helps recipes with higher amounts of sunflower oil to slow down the oxidation process which helps the overall product last significantly longer. Sunflower oil also comes in a "high oleic" formula that gives the oil an extended shelf life for cosmetic applications, although the benefits may feel somewhat different since it's essential fatty acid composition becomes slightly similar to olive oil at that point.

Benefits and Uses of Tea Tree Oil in your Beauty Recipes
Tee Tree Oil is said to be a very effective ingredient for your skin and hair. Should you include Tea Tree Oil in your homemade skin care recipes? Find out more about the benefits of Tea Tree Oil below.
The Miracles Of Tea Tree Oil For Skin And Hair Care
By: Kevin Pederson
Tea tree, MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA, native to Australia, is a tree or shrub with needle like leaves similar in appearance to cypress with heads of sessile pale flowers. The popular tea tree oil is derived from this tree. The aborigines of Australia have been known to have used the tea tree oil to treat a range of ailments from colds, sores to acne and even whooping cough.
Extensively used in aromatherapy, the leaves when crushed release essential oils of varying amounts and constituents. The oil is so potent that it can be diluted up to many times its volume and it still manages to retain its effectiveness all the same. Although the benefits of tea tree oil are numerous, for beauty treatments, it’s been found effective in skin and hair care. The following sections describe the uses of Tea Tree Oil for skin care and hair care.
Tea tree oil for skin care
Tea tree oil has been used effectively to treat acne, abscess, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, spots, warts and wounds. You can use tea tree oil to cure sunburns, diaper rash, toenail infections and problems of smelly feet.
Tea tree oil for hair care
Add a few drops of Tea tree oil to your regular shampoo to treat hair problems like persistent dandruff, itchy-scalp and even prevent head-lice. Massage it in, leave it on for 5-7 minutes and rinse off. Adding a few drops in pet shampoo/bath helps keep tics and rashes at bay.
Other benefits of tea tree oilFed-up with allopathic medicines? Packets of antibiotics that have gone down your throat seem to be of no use? The only things you find they have lightened are your pockets? Well, don't panic, help is at hand, Tea Tree oil can be used to treat a variety of medical problems. A great remedy to soothe your sinuses; dab a drop of tea tree oil around your nose can help clear up blocked sinuses.
Add a few drops in a steam bath or vaporizer and inhale, a great relief for persistent colds and cough. Regular use of tea tree oil has been found to be effective in treating Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, cough, sinusitis and even tuberculosis.
Tea tree oil is a great general disinfectant and can be effectively used to treat genito-urinary tract infections such as thrush, vaginitis, cystitis and pruitis.
Tea tree oil has properties that act as a immune booster. It helps equip the body to fight off a host of infections. Using tea tree oil is particularly effective if the body is already in a weakened condition due to illness, stress or prolonged treatment-involving antibiotics that lead to a reduction of the body's natural resistance.
Using tea tree oil prior to a surgical operation or for those suffering from long-drawn debilitating illness has been found to be beneficial.

The Miracles Of Tea Tree Oil For Skin And Hair Care
By: Kevin Pederson
Tea tree, MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA, native to Australia, is a tree or shrub with needle like leaves similar in appearance to cypress with heads of sessile pale flowers. The popular tea tree oil is derived from this tree. The aborigines of Australia have been known to have used the tea tree oil to treat a range of ailments from colds, sores to acne and even whooping cough.
Extensively used in aromatherapy, the leaves when crushed release essential oils of varying amounts and constituents. The oil is so potent that it can be diluted up to many times its volume and it still manages to retain its effectiveness all the same. Although the benefits of tea tree oil are numerous, for beauty treatments, it’s been found effective in skin and hair care. The following sections describe the uses of Tea Tree Oil for skin care and hair care.
Tea tree oil for skin care
Tea tree oil has been used effectively to treat acne, abscess, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, spots, warts and wounds. You can use tea tree oil to cure sunburns, diaper rash, toenail infections and problems of smelly feet.
Tea tree oil for hair care
Add a few drops of Tea tree oil to your regular shampoo to treat hair problems like persistent dandruff, itchy-scalp and even prevent head-lice. Massage it in, leave it on for 5-7 minutes and rinse off. Adding a few drops in pet shampoo/bath helps keep tics and rashes at bay.
Other benefits of tea tree oilFed-up with allopathic medicines? Packets of antibiotics that have gone down your throat seem to be of no use? The only things you find they have lightened are your pockets? Well, don't panic, help is at hand, Tea Tree oil can be used to treat a variety of medical problems. A great remedy to soothe your sinuses; dab a drop of tea tree oil around your nose can help clear up blocked sinuses.
Add a few drops in a steam bath or vaporizer and inhale, a great relief for persistent colds and cough. Regular use of tea tree oil has been found to be effective in treating Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, cough, sinusitis and even tuberculosis.
Tea tree oil is a great general disinfectant and can be effectively used to treat genito-urinary tract infections such as thrush, vaginitis, cystitis and pruitis.
Tea tree oil has properties that act as a immune booster. It helps equip the body to fight off a host of infections. Using tea tree oil is particularly effective if the body is already in a weakened condition due to illness, stress or prolonged treatment-involving antibiotics that lead to a reduction of the body's natural resistance.
Using tea tree oil prior to a surgical operation or for those suffering from long-drawn debilitating illness has been found to be beneficial. The anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties have seen tea tree oil being used extensively in soaps, toothpastes, deodorants, disinfectants, gargles, germicides, aftershaves and colognes. Tea tree oil is safe to use, as it is non-toxic and non-irritant.
