The Best Beauty Tips

A poem written by Sam Levenson stole my heart. I’ve been reading it almost everyday, just to remind myself about the “Time Tested Beauty Tips”.

I learnt from some sources that these are the beauty secrets of the famous actress Audrey Hepburn. I’m sure it must be the beauty tips we all must follow. Your inner beauty is more important than the physical look of you. “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” ~Kahil Gibran~

Here is the great poem. Follow it to give an inner radiance for the physical glow.

Want to know how to Defeat Your Food Cravings


image taken from

Eating without thinking about your body will definitely make you unfit and fat. When it happens you start to compare yourself with others, with full of negative thoughts. And that lead to a less confident YOU! Therefore, you must do your best, to have a beautiful, healthy body and to be a more confident person. 

Here is an article I read on dumblittleman.com. I found this article interesting, so I'm sharing it with you. Hope you'll like it. 

8 Out of the Ordinary Approaches to Defeating Your Food Cravings

Do you feel like you can’t lose weight because you struggle with cravings?

Has a gnawing, insatiable want hijacked your healthy eating plan?

Chocolate, candy, potato chips, pizza, steak, coffee, ice-cream, salt or what have you —most of us battle these cravings.

But we don’t have to.

Are you ready to defeat them? If so let's dive in and reveal what you can do to conquer your dangerous moments without regret.

  • Drink, Drink, Drink
    First off, if you’re dehydrated, you’re likely to feel wiped out. When you’re pooped liked that, chances are you’ll be craving a stimulant in the form of sugar or caffeine - think chocolate or coffee.

    So drink a glass of water — yes, plain water. By the time your body tells you you’re thirsty,
    you’re already dehydrated. And, dehydration occurs as mild hunger. So… glug, glug, glug and make it a habit to drink a glass of water every couple hours.
  • Why You Need to Sleep More
    If you’re majorly stressed, or suffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation, you’re probably exhausted much of the time.

    I know about this; believe me! It took seven years and an entire collection of My Little Pony before my daughter slept through the night. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture — don’t underestimate it.


    Adrenal imbalance causes your body to call upon your adrenal glands for more stress hormones to act as a pick-me-up, but over time, your adrenals become less able to respond appropriately. Chances are, you’ll resort to sugar or carbohydrate snacks or coffee during the day and carbohydrates or alcohol at night, all of which exacerbate the problem.


    I seriously recommend finding a way to chill and give your adrenals a break. I’ve found
    meditation and exercise such as yoga to be a blessing. A hectic cardio workout is not going to help here. Keep it on the calm side.

  • The Shocking Truth About Boredom and Dissatisfaction
    Being bored or dissatisfied with a particular situation, such as work or a cruddy relationship, or life in general, is the number one cause for filling up on undesirables.

    “The longing for sweets is really a yearning for love or sweetness,” wrote Jungian analyst Marion Woodman and she was spot on. So often we try to fill the void with eating. Instead, take time to reflect and assess what’s really going on.


    Dr. Oz suggests
    that it helps to realize that emotional hunger onset is sudden and urgent, while physical hunger is gradual and patient.

    Fully facing this kind of eating may lead to some serious soul searching. You may want to consult someone if it becomes overwhelming. But when food is masking a deeper dissatisfaction, no amount of the fix will take away the pain or frustration. Work on healing that and then the cravings will naturally disappear.

  • How to Change Bad Habits
    Psychology professor Debra Zellner, Ph.D., draws the conclusion that our cravings are predominantly determined by habit rather than biological need.

    You know how you fall back to habit in times of stress rather than creatively brainstorming fresh approaches? Well the same is true here. When you’re stressed, she argues, your generally strong restraint flies out the window and thoughts about comfort foods come rushing in.


    So how do we avoid this stress trigger cycle? According to Zeller, we should:

     
    • Indulge on occasion: By making certain foods “taboo,” we tend to make a dash for them when our defenses are shot. The alternative is to have that chocolate once in a while and de-demonize it. Enjoy a bowl of ice cream now and then. Don’t associate certain foods with the ‘forbidden fruits.’
     
    • Mix up your patterns: Just as with Pavlov’s dogs, Zeller continues, a stimulus produces an automatic, virtually involuntary response in each of us. Figure out if predictable times or places make your cravings appear. Then, change your indulgence time and place, shake up the predictable and don’t create a mindless pattern.
     
    • Make healthy associations: Find healthy foods that you enjoy and make a habit of eating those at stressful times instead. For me, I’ve trained myself to crunch on cucumbers. Granted, we always need to have cucumbers in the house, but it definitely beats chocolate!

Olive Leave-In Conditioner

 


Leave-in conditioner gives your hair all of the benefits of a conditioner without having to wash it out which is amazing, but, some of leave-in’s on the shelves aren’t actually all that great for your hair. They can contain alcohol which is far too harsh on your hair and is a no-no as far as Muslim women are concerned. Also, if you look at the ingredients, there’s at least ten ingredients! Mind you, these are ingredients you can’t pronounce.

How to Get Rid of Acne Quickly and Easily


 Want to know how to get rid of acne fast? Before I reveal some effective cures in this article, you need to know the cause of acne.

Acne is a skin condition where the pores on your skin are blocked and the oil can't get out on the surface. The bacteria and dirt inside these pores will cause pimples or acne to grow on the face or other parts of the body. This problem has caused many embarrassments to both men and women.

Here are some effective tips on how to get rid of acne quickly and easily.

Consult an Expert
If you're a bit unsure on how to get rid of acne, then it would be best to consult an expert regarding this matter. Visit your doctor or dermatologist on what they can do to help you out. Note, however, this may result in an expensive treatment since modern methods in removing acne can very costly.
Normally, they will usually suggest a skin-cleansing program within a span of one to two months. It is advisable that you stick closely with their instructions to the letter to get rid of this problem once and for all.

 
Do It Yourself
One great tip on how to get rid of acne is to follow proper hygiene. Make sure you wash your face or other parts of the body thoroughly with pH balanced soap to keep your pores free from dirt - preferably before you go to bed or after you wake up.
You may even use chemical peel or other skin care products that will help reduce the acne on your skin, as well as keeping your pores in tip-top shape.
Avoid touching the affected area since this might help worsen the condition. You can visit a beauty salon and have these treated by expert hands.
If the "how to get rid of acne" program you implemented works, then keep on doing it to prevent acne from coming back.

How can you be beautiful?

Some people think that fairness is the beauty. If a girl is having a lighter skin tone, most will describe her as a beautiful girl. But real beauty is not the color of your skin. Every human being, like flowers, is beautiful in his/her own way. And a person seems to be more beautiful, when she believes in her beauty. Look at yourself in a mirror with a positive imagination! Are not you beautiful?

                 
We adore flowers for their beauty. What part of the flower attracts us most? Definitely it is the petals. They distinguish the flowers and bring all the attention to it. Tube flowers, composite flowers, Pink rose, white rose, white lily and the names go on and on. The most beautiful flower for me may not be your number one. So you may not be the most beautiful to the whole mankind. But surely, you can be a true beauty, at least to yourself.
