How to make a self-tanning lotion with natural ingredients!

May 14, 2015 by Amy Brown

The season of warm days and lighter clothes is coming. You should be preparing to wear short skirts and fluttering dresses, shorts and tops. Many girls decide to go to the solarium. Although dermatologists strictly warn that if you go to the solarium you expose your body to high levels of UV radiation, which can be up to almost 25 times higher than the midday summer sun. Human skin is not intended for large exposure to solar radiation. In one research in the UK, where going to the solarium is one of the most popular ways of self-tanning, it was discovered that the number of people suffering from skin cancer is 85%!

Experts say self-tanning creams are also not healthy! Women who frequently use these creams may have fertility problems. This is because these creams contain the level of “allowable” cocktail of hormones.

We represent you a revolutionary method for self-tanning lotion, without any harmful chemicals or the use of tanning beds!

Ingredients you need for the lotion:

– Black tea – 8 bags (organic)
– Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
– Water – 470 ml

Preparation:

Put the water and vanilla extract to boil, then pour over the tea bags and steer for 8 minutes. When it is completely cooled, pour the liquid into a bottle with a pump.
Extra tip: Before spraying, for best effect, you may want to do the most ordinary body scrub.

Application on the skin:

Spray the skin in several layers, then thoroughly rub it on the skin. You’ll see the effect after the first round of application. Of course, it takes a minimum of an hour to make the skin absorb all the ingredients and darken.
Also note that this is a completely safe treatment, because it does not contain harmful chemicals that can harm your body.

I know this recipe seems unreliable but TRUST me I tried it and…I am ready for the summer! 😀

How creativity can improve your mental health?

May 13, 2015 by Amy Brown

Children are not the only ones who need creativity. Adults would have been more useful if they use activities with more imagination and improvisation. Numerous studies have shown that creativity has a positive influence on our physical and mental health.

Which creative activities can improve your health

1. Keep your private diary

Stress is an everyday occurrence in our life, it increase the hormone cortisol which is damaging the immune system and over time can cause a series of health problems. One study published in British Journal of Health Psychology found that writing about emotions reduces the level of cortisol in the body. It especially helps people who suffer from a psychological trauma. Many studies have shown that people who keep a diary have better sleep, improved mood and heal faster.

2. Read books that are challenging for you

Did you know that reading books that are challenging for you are very useful for your brain and mental health? The results from the brain scans showed that “difficult” books to read, prose and poetry, indicate more brain activity than those “lighter” books.

3. Poetry is balm for the soul

Poetry reading increases the activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, the area associated with autobiographical memory. Poetry helps to look at our own experience and compare them with what we read.

“Poetry is not just a matter of style, but deep version of experience in which the emotional and personal is added to the cognitive,” said Professor Philip Davies of the University of Liverpool in one of his study.

There is evidence that poetry influences the brain in the same way as music. You know the feeling of connecting with a song when you hear it for the first time?

4. Have a hobby

Whether you are painting, knitting or making souvenirs, hand-made activities are deeply relaxing for the body and positively influence on coping with stress. These activities have meaning of self-expression, improvisation and creative problem solving in a creative way. Building, sewing, knitting, gardening are useful for the human psyche, these and other similar activities act as natural antidepressants.

Why forgiving is good for your wellness?

May 12, 2015 by Amy Brown

If someone hurt you and you could not get over it, it’s time to leave the feelings and forget, because otherwise you will suffer on mental and physical level. When we feel injustice, anger is born and it can last very long time, even years, and that is influencing on our wellness.

Do not punish yourself, but forgive:

1. Anger harms the health of the heart

The feeling of anger and rage affect physical health, it increases levels of the hormone cortisol and adrenaline. Long term anger burdens the heart and can lead to the emergence of cardiovascular disease.

2. Affects your children

Even if you do not show anger in front of your children, yet they know how to “read” your feelings and take them into themselves. Thus, children will develop uncertainty in its environment.

3. Anger adversely affects mental health

No one is immune to occasional harassment, but people who always rethink the scenarios in which someone was violating them could seriously jeopardize mental health. Negative feelings and thoughts may lead to difficulties and weakening of the self-control. It also increases the risk of mental disorders.

4. Chronic anger may lead to occurrence of diabetes

Anger can lead to the onset of type 2 types of diabetes. Although there is no direct link between temperament and the risk of diabetes, yet people who frequently get angry according to research have around 34% higher risk for this disease.

5. Relaxation is repairing the mood

The mood really improves after we forgive someone. In one research, the participants received an assignment to think about who violated their life, then to search for the person and tell her/him that she/he is forgiven, with condition that they are really ready to forgive him/her. They noticed changes in the mood on positive aspect with participants who agreed to forgive and have done so.

6. Sleeping is easier after we forgive

Before falling asleep, our head is full thoughts on which we can not influence. Even if we are aware and we want to push that thoughts away, they keep us awake and they contribute to sleeping difficulties, which in the long run is bad for our health. Studies have shown that people who find it easier to let the past go have a quality sleep.

7. People who forgive have quality relationships

Many people believe that the forgiving is making them weak, but Gandhi wont agree with this. Once he said: “Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong” because it takes a lot of courage and wisdom to distance from the painful experience. It shows that you are a person who is able to build quality relationships.

Exercises you can do while sitting down

May 12, 2015 by Amy Brown

The human body is not “designed” to be in a sitting position for a long time. However, due to work or personal choice, many people are “tied”
to their chairs. The next time when you stay a while in a sitting position, remember that there are simple exercises that will stir your body and help you stay healthy and fit.

The following exercises will help, move the wrists, improve the body circulation, strengthen muscles and plus you will burn some calories :

1. Clamping the buttocks

The easiest exercise you can do while sitting is to strengthen the buttocks and thighs, i.e the most problematic areas of the female body. Sit straight so that your feet are attached to the floor. Tighten the muscles of the buttocks and thighs and hold “contorted” for five seconds. Then, relax them. Do 20 repetitions.

You can do this exercise while you are at work, while you are searching the Internet or while traveling to long distances. Without much effort, you will shape the buttocks.

2. Toning the legs through the “writing” of the alphabet

Raise one leg so that your fingers will easily touch the floor. Start “writing” each letter of the alphabet with your toes on the floor. Write capital letters. Once you complete the alphabet with one leg, repeat with the same with the other.

Then again, do the same exercise, but this time gently touch the floor with the entire foot, ie. with toes and heels. Instead the alphabet you can write numbers. The foot should be constantly active, and muscles engaged.

3. Strengthening the thighs

Sit close to the edge of the chair. Straighten your back, set the knee on an angle of 90 °. Lift the right leg and straighten it in front of you, to be parallel to the floor. Hold this position for 2-3 seconds and lift it down. Repeat it with the left leg. Do 20 repetitions.

This exercise will enable and shape the muscles on the front of the leg, above the knee.

4. Strengthening the calf

Set feet on the floor and lift only the heels, so that rely only on the front of the feet. Push your heels as higher you as you can and then lower them back on the floor. Do 15 repetitions.

You can do this exercise while you work and study, because it doesn’t requires a lot of attention. You will maintain the strength of the calfs and your feet will look more attractive when you wear high heels.

5. Strengthening the muscles below the knee

Sit upright and put your feet on the floor. Raise the toes without pulling off the heels from the floor. Lift them as higher as you can and then lower them back on the floor. Repeat this exercise 15 times.

While practicing this movement, no one will even notice that you exercise, so you can do literally anywhere.

6. Abdominal contractions

Sit up straight. Tighten your stomach muscles and hold the contraction at least 5 seconds, then relax them. Do 10 repetitions.

7. Move your ankles

Move your ankles so the toes of your foot will move in the imaginary circle. Draw the circle 5 times clockwise and then 5 times backwards. Repeat it with the other leg.

8. Move your shoulders

Make 10 circles with your shoulders forward and another 10 in backwards. This exercise will not only move your shoulders, but will reduce the tension that accumulates in the upper back.

9. Stretch your neck

While sitting upright, slowly bend your head down so your chin touch your chest. Then bend your head back and direct the look at the ceiling. Repeat this exercise five times.

10. Elegant stretch

Raise your arms sideways while hands do not reach high above your head and then lower them elegantly in your lap. In fact, in this exercise the hands should make a big circle.

If you are surrounded by people, do the exercise only once as will not feel uncomfortable. But if you’re alone, do 10 elegant stretching, be carefully that your back is constantly straight.

The proposed exercises can reduce the negative impact of the”seating” lifestyle has on our health and appearance, but not completely neutralize. Do not be shy to do the exercises in front of your colleagues at work. Call them so they can join you and together resist on the negative effect of seating.

And do not forget …

After 30 minutes seating make at least two-minute break. Stand up, stretch and walk around the room you are in.

Say “YES” to the present moment

May 10, 2015 by Amy Brown

The modern way of life is filled with stress , the main reasons are the rapid lifestyle and general financial uncertainty due to the uncertain future. Unfortunately, there is a gap between what the circumstances of our lifes require from us and what is required by human nature, so it is no surprise that people are looking for ways to cope with stress.

One way to accomplish this is to slow down the pace of life so that worry about the past and the future will be replaced with more attention to the present. Here are the ways we propose to achieve this goal.

Focus on what happens to the current moment – Thinking about unpleasant moments of the past is actually returning them to the present, which mean you go again through the same bitter experience. It will make to look at the future filed with pessimism and you will meet the stress. You should spare from such a view, because no one can predict the future and instead of that concentrate on what is just happening here and now.

Full presence – Be aware of what you experience in the present. What you see, hear or smell now? How do you feel about it? Openness to new experiences allow you to be curious. Instead of thinking that you will not succeed because of bad experiences, accept new challenges of the present and curiously wait to see what experience you will get this time.

Do not judge – The way you accept new things depend on the feelings that protect you from something or make you act to do something. Try to accept things with an open mind without judging.

Accept the things as they are – Do not get fooled that reality is or should be in the way that suits you. So you finish with the feeling that you are a victim and the claim that life was not fair to you. Look the reality and become aware of it, you can adapt and tolerate it or you can fight to change something.

Awareness of the connection with nature – The environment is something that we should defend. We are part of it and we get things that we need from there: food, beauty, opportunities… All living beings in the nature want to be satisfied, and therefore we are not alone in dealing with stress and problems in the endless quest for pleasure.

No attachments – Do not attach too much to people, objects or experiences, because in these modern lifestyles you will hardly be able to save all the things that you like and still want. Stay independent of them, because excessive attachment to things springs from the fear and it is the basis of suffering. Everything goes away, everything changes. A door is closed, the other opens.

Stay calm – Life has its ups and downs. At any stage you are in, you know that it will end. When you are going through a bad time, stay consistent with your values and attitudes and calmly continue to achieve your goals.

Compassion – Treat yourself, and other people with kindness and compassion. Instead of condemning, be open to other people’s problems, try to understand them and do not hesitate to sympathize. Compassion is one of the basic human needs that are accomplished through relationships with others. Thus quickly you realize that you are not alone in the mud of problems.

Food that reduces the level of stress

May 10, 2015 by Amy Brown

Next time you feel anxious, under pressure or too stressful, make a meal with some of the following foods and very soon you will return to normal.

Sweet potatoes – They may be helpful in reducing stress because they satisfy your need for carbohydrates and sugars. They contain beta-carotene and other vitamins that help your body process carbohydrates slowly and with a constant tempo.

Dried peaches – They are full of magnesium, which reduces the stress and at the same time naturally relaxes your muscles.

Oranges – Vitamin C reduces stress and restores blood pressure and maintains the normal level of cortisol after a stressful situation. Vitamin C is also good for improving the immune system.

Almonds, pistachios and nuts – Almonds contain vitamins B and E that improve your immune system, pistachios and nuts help to reduce the blood pressure.

Turkey meat – This meat contains amino acids called L-tryptophan, which promote the release of serotonin, a chemical substance in the brain that causes you to feel good. Because many people reported feeling relaxed after eating turkey, it is well documented that L-tryptophan has a calming effect.

Spinach – A lack of magnesium can cause migraine headaches and fatigue. A plate of spinach fulfills 40% of your daily requirement for magnesium in your body.

Salmon – Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids protect against heart diseases. They are very effective in keeping the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline at normal levels.

Green vegetables – Broccoli and other dark green vegetables are rich in variety of vitamins that help your body during stressful situations.

Avocado – The fats and potassium which are contained in avocados lower your blood pressure. One study says that the best way to lower blood pressure is to consume enough potassium (avocados have a greater amount than the banana).

Another tips for reducing stress:

Exercise regularly
Drink an energy shake for breakfast
Eat smaller meals throughout the day, which will help maintain the level of blood sugar (when blood sugar is low it reduces mental, physical and psychological energy, but the stress increases).

Hula-hoop – lose weight with fun

May 10, 2015 by Amy Brown

The favorite toy of the 50’s – the hula-hoop today is increasingly used as part of the exercise equipment for every adult. Although it seems like a child’s toy, exercising with a hoop is a physical activity that brings many health benefits and is appropriate for all ages. Exercising with hula-hoop activates 30 muscles, improves balance, mobility and flexibility. These are the five main benefits of rolling hoop.

Burning calories

Half an hour of exercise with hula-hoop has the same effect as 30 minutes of running. This activity is ideal for weight loss because calories melt away as in step-aerobics, kickboxing or treadmill.

Body shaping

Hooping strengthens muscles and shapes the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, hips, feet and knees, and additionally you can turn the hula-hoop around your shoulders to exercise the torso, arms and neck.

Improve flexibility

This activity requires movement and twisting of the spine, increasing its flexibility thus preventing back injuries. However, for people who have back problems should consult a physician about these types of exercises.

Improves mood

Besides being healthy, this workout isn’t boring and you won’t have problem with regular practice because it is just like dancing and it improves your mood.

The heavier the hoop the more health benefits

Although ordinary hoop brings many health benefits, you will see greater results if you use heavier hula-hoop. The rotation of the heavier hoop brings the same results as lifting weights. Heavier hula-hoop is easier to turn and you can exercise longer and thus strengthen the muscles faster.

Warm up exercises

hula-hoop, losing weight — 1. Hold the hula-hoop with both hands and lift it over your head. Turn your upper body to the right, then left. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

hula-hoop — 2. Stand with your legs spread and set the hoop vertically on the left side as much as possible away from you. Stretch. Repeat on the right side.

hula-hoop,lose-weight, warm-up-exercise,benefits-of-hula-hoops — 3. Stand on one leg and hold the hoop behind you, so your arms are straight. Then, lift down the hoop while you are bending your elbows. Straighten your arms again. Repeat this exercise 4 times.

Tips for turning the hoop

Once you warm up, start moving the hoop. Here are some tips for easier and more effective hoop workout:

Prepare. Free up enough space around you so you can smoothly rotate. Place the hoop on the floor and step into the center. Lift with both hands and place it at the waist.
Put one foot ahead of the other. Bend your knees slightly, place one foot forward and stand in a relaxed natural position.
The movements should be more back and forth than circular. Many people begin their practice thinking that they should make circular movements. In fact, the movement should be like rocking back and forth.
Try which side is more natural for hooping. If you have trouble turning, try turning on the opposite side. Usually, right-handed people turn from right to left and left-handed people turn backwards. Try to turn in either direction and you will immediately feel which side is right for you.

If you didn’t master hooping when you were a child it’s time to try again. If you were an expert, remember your best memories and start turning.

Calm mind: 5 steps to relax

May 9, 2015 by Amy Brown

Sometimes we have too many things to worry about even before we start our daily routines and confront with the new problems. Worrying yourself may be useful in solving problems but also it makes us unhappy or even interfere with our daily activities.

There is a one psychological method for dealing with everyday care which is really simple. But just because it’s easy it doesn’t mean it is very popular among people.

There is a five-step plan called “Calm mind” which was actually created by psychologists specifically for people with dementia. That is why a special emphasis was placed on the relationships, and less on the cognitive aspects.

1. Awareness

This is the step that many people forget. Why? Because it seems that you already know the answer. You probably think you know what it is that makes you feel anxious. However, sometimes the situations, psychological signs and the emotions that accompany of the anxiety, are not as obvious as you might think. So you can try to keep a diary whether written or virtual. It is helpful to write down- when you feel anxious and what are the psychological signs of this anxiety? Sometimes this step is enough to help people with their anxiety. Especially in the field of habits, self-awareness is the first step towards certain changes.

2. Breathing

You’ve probably read about the ways in which the mind and body are connected and constantly send information. For example, standing makes people feel secure. The mind is not the only one who has influence on the body, the body can influence the mind. The same goes for anxiety: taking conscious control of breathing sends a message back to the mind.

So when you are anxious, a condition often accompanied by shallow and rapid breathing, try to change it by relax breathing, which is usually slower and deeper. You can count while you inhale and exhale, and also try to put your hand on your stomach and feel the air entering and coming out of you. In addition, accept any position that you feel relaxed. For example, you can relax your muscles, with spreading your hands and having a big smile.

3. Calming thoughts

People usually say: “Think of calming thoughts,” but who can think such thoughts in a stressful situation?

The solution is to prepare calming thoughts in advance. They can be simple like “Calm down!”, but it should be something that makes you personally react. You should find form of words or thoughts which are right for you.

4. Increased activity

Maybe it’s weird to say that one of the most effective ways to deal with anxiety is activity. However, when the brain is busy with something, it often wanders away from anxiety. Therefore, when you engage in an activity that you love, you feel happier. Even things like cleaning around your house can be better than just sit and worry. The problem with anxiety is that it makes you feel less encouraging to start an activity. One solution is to have a list of activities that represent enjoyment for you .

5. Sleeping skills

Often people who are anxious, have trouble sleeping. Sometimes when you’re anxious there’s nothing nicer than lying in bed and just be preoccupied with your thoughts. But decreased sleep can lead to anxiety associated with sleep, paradoxically, to poor sleep. Avoiding this vicious circle can be really difficult, but practicing how to relax can help you. It’s all about gaining good sleeping habits.

10 excuses that stop you from realizing your dreams

May 9, 2015 by Amy Brown

Your words have more power than you can imagine. They are part of your internal and external experience. That is why if you change your words you can change your life. See the 10 ways that may destroy your dreams…

1. I’m too scared

It’s okay, we should all be afraid. Whether it is a large or small change, the search for ways to achieve your dreams always means getting out of your comfort zone. It is natural and normal to be afraid. But instead of seeing fear as a barrier, try to use it as a compass that will guide you to the right path. Therefore, change these words in “I am excited”.

2. I do not have enough …

Money. Time. Experience. Knowledge. Certificates. Who says that? You are the only person who can allow these thoughts stop you. Rather than focus on what you do not have, look at those things that you can use now and find ways to include them in achieving your goal. Therefore, change these words in “I have more than enough”.

3. This is what I am and I can not change that

If you feel that you are a person that can’t change, you will lose your hope very quickly and you will see your journey as something impossible. Remember, you can always grow and develop, so instead of considering yourself as incompetent, look for ways that you can change yourself in a better way. Therefore, change these words into “I constantly get a better version of myself.”

4. This is too difficult for me

Following your heart is hard work. That’s why whenever you feel like it is difficult for you, make a step back and remind yourself why are you doing this. What is your goal? Rather than focusing on what you need to do, focus on the chance to do so. Follow your dreams! Enjoy the process. Therefore, change these words to “This activity is a fun and inspired me to go further.”

5. I have an impact on people around me

It is very easy to distract yourself with thoughts about the way you influence the people you love. Will they be jealousy? Am I selfish? Did not pay enough attention? Rather than focusing yourself on the way that you influence other people, be concentrated on how you can inspire, communicate your joy and the fact that you can give up completely when you are really happy. Therefore, change these words in “My happiness is a gift to everyone around me.”

6. I am not like them

We often want to believe that we are not made of the same material as the others who realize their dreams. We believe that we are not like them, we do not deserve what we desire or we are not able to achieve it. Instead of sinking into these negative thoughts and continually comparing with others, try to see their perseverance as inspiration for your own dreams. Therefore, change these words in “I am able/capable“.

7. I am not ready

This form of perfectionism will inhibit you from realizing your dreams. The start is the thing that prepares you. Although this counteracts your intuition through your activities, you can achieve well-being and that will help you discover the next step in your quest. Never stop if you do not feel prepared and remember that you will never feel ready until you start. Therefore, change these words in “If not now, when?”

8. No one had done this before

Instead of looking for reasons for the impossibility, find inspiration to stay worthy in achieving your dreams. Therefore, change these words into “I can accomplish everything I am up to”.

9. I have tried and failed

If you have never been unsuccessful, then you are one of the rarest people of the planet. Failure indicates the things you need to change in your approach and that will help you get closer to what you really want. Do not let obstacles keep you demotivated and try to find new ways in which you could achieve your goal. Therefore, change these words in “I have experience and knowledge.”

10. I do not want people to change their opinion about me

Why? Those who really love you will continue to love you regardless of your dreams. Rather than focus on how others perceive you, focus on monitoring your heart and life the way you really want to live. If you value yourself, you wouldn’t worry about the opinions of others. Therefore, change these words into “I want to show myself in true light.”

How to learn to love yourself?

May 9, 2015 by Amy Brown

Learning to love yourself is important for our overall functioning, life satisfaction, personal well-being and self-image. But how can we achieve it?

I know that it may not be so simple and quick process: We often say that we love ourselves, but our actions, reactions and way of life speak otherwise. To love yourself is critical for your personal development, fulfilling your dreams, developing healthy, fulfilling relationships.

How to learn to love yourself more?

Instead of saying that you love yourself, try to be more compassionate to yourself through these practical steps:

Take care of yourself as you care for others

It sounds pretty simple, but many of us do not do this because they believe that this way we are selfish or that our needs are not important. They are important! It is not selfish to take care of yourself. Compassion means showing concern for your feelings as well as for other people. Treat yourself the way you would treat your children or best friend – with tenderness, attention and care.

Keep to your limits

Make a list of things you need emotionally, things that are important to you, that disturb you or hurt your feelings. This may include to be heard; to get support when you are hurt; to celebrate when you succeed at something; to get love and tenderness without request; to know that you can rely on someone. All that’s important to you, it is important! And when someone ignores the things that are important to you or crosses your boundaries, you know – because you are harmed. Do not ignore it. Your feelings are telling you what is right and what is wrong.

Show what your limits are to the people around you and what you will tolerate or not. If they apologize to you, you can forgive them. If they do not do that, or continue to ignore your limits and needs, you should set consequences for that. For example, if you tell your partner that you need to be listened when you talk about something, but he/she constantly ignores you or tells you to go through it, you can respond with appropriate measures, such as to find another person that you trust. Also, you can examine the relationship.You should receive love, acceptance and respect in your relationship as much as you give to the other person. By doing activities that meet your needs and being assertive, you are boosting your confidence because you strengthen your beliefs for yourself and others, that you deserve to be loved and treated well.

Do what you need to be yourself

First, find out what it is that makes you feel good. No matter what it is, become aware of how you feel when you do those things. Do you feel exhausted at work, but relaxed when you work in the garden? Do you feel joyful when you read to your children? Are you satisfied when you are writing poetry or do voluntary work? Discover what it is that makes you feel good and do it as often as possible. Do what you want and do not let anyone to blame you for it.

All these things will help you develop a sense of self actualization, self-esteem and self-evaluation, that you are talented, capable individual who deserves love. The person who is most important to believe in is you!

Green tea, mint and orange detox

May 8, 2015 by Amy Brown

Nice combination of green tea, orange and mint is the ideal mix for my morning. This nice tea mixture is not only delicious way to start my morning, but it also has great health benefits.

The green tea speeds up my metabolism, and it boosts fat absorption. It is a great substitute for coffee and also has benefits that are protect the organism (cancer, high blood pressure, immunity booster, stroke etc.).

I love the fresh taste of mint, and of course it enriches the taste of the green tea nicely. The mint not only gives specific enrichment to the taste of this tea, but it also speeds up digestion, speeds up the fat burning processes and protects my stomach from bloating.

The nice orange is very appreciated because it has a unique taste, and it has nutritional an antioxidant properties. It is really rich with fiber that are incredibly useful so I can keep up my fine body line.

This is how I use it.Before I go to sleep I put one liter of water to boil, I let it cool down for 2 minutes, then I put 3 tea spoons of green tea or 5 bags of green tea and leave them in the tea for 3-5 minutes. After that, I remove the tea, and I slice up nicely washed whole orange in small pieces and put fresh mint leaves from my garden. I let put the jar in the fridge during the night and it is ready in the morning. So I start my day with this tea and I feel the benefits of it all day long. It helps me lose my weight and cleanse my body. I just love it!
