3 vitamin bombs for a beautiful and radiant complexion – home treatments

May 10, 2015 by Sheila Smith

When it comes to youth and beauty the clock can’t be stopped, but it is certainly possible to slow it down!
A proper care for your skin is necessary in order to maintain its elasticity, radiance and glow.
Don’t worry, it does not mean you need to buy expensive creams and skincare products.
It is enough to visit your nearest market and you will find all the ingredients at affordable prices, and the effect will be the same and even better!
If you don’t trust me, try and see the stunning effects that are provided by the homemade masks and treatments.
We have singled out the best vitamin bombs for your skin. Choose the right for you!

1. Peel off mask – Vitamin C – You probably know that vitamin C has amazing effects for your immune system. In addition, it is also an excellent face cleanser and perfect ingredient for an effective peel-off mask.
Mix a bag of vitamin C powder (or 2 tablets) with almond milk until you get a thick paste. Rub the paste on your face and leave on. When you feel a tingling sensation, rinse your face with lukewarm water and apply a rose water tonic. If you have wounds on your face do not use this mask because it is very aggressive on open sores.

2. Anti-aging treatment – Vitamin E – If you notice lines and wrinkles around the eyes and lips – do not panic! The appearance of wrinkles is a natural aging process of the skin and no one ever escaped from it. You need to accept it as the most normal thing, but you can also do something in order to slow the creation of new and deepening of old wrinkles. Vitamin E is a great anti-aging ingredient.
Before going to sleep simply squeeze the contents of a vitamin E capsule and apply it directly to the problematic areas of the face and gently pat.

3. Nourishing Mask – Omega 3 fatty acids – Omega 3 fatty acids have phenomenal properties for your health. These are healthy fats that are essential for normal functioning. In addition, these fats are fabulous for skin care – they reduce inflammation, decrease the visibility of wrinkles and clean the clogged pores.

Mix ground chia seeds with organic yogurt and a few drops of flax oil. Apply the mixture as a face mask, leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. If you apply mask applied before bedtime, you will feel its effects during the next day!

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.

What is the best natural oil for your hair type

May 9, 2015 by Sheila Smith

We’re sure you already know that the natural organic oil are a real boon for hair care – they provide care, hydration, shine, softness and silky texture, eliminate dandruff, split ends…
However, much like commercial hair products, different oils have different effects on our hair. So dry hair will not match the same oil as the oily hair, dyed hair requires one type of oil, while curly hair needs other oil.
Check out our little guide and find out what natural oil is best for your hair type.

Coconut oil – This oil is the most effective and most often recommended as a natural treatment for hair care. Apart from the fact that it calms the scalp and relieves the harmful effects of smog and UV rays. Coconut oil can regenerate hair, recovering from permanent chemical treatments. If you enjoy head massages, gently warmed coconut oil is ideal for this. So if you have very damaged and dehydrated hair the best choice for you is organic refined coconut oil.

Castor Oil – Castor oil is the best solution for dry scalp, because it acts as a very strong moisturizer and enhances hair growth. If intensive hair fall is your main problem, this oil will take care of its regrowth and strengthening. Massage it into the scalp and leave it overnight. In the morning, wash it with shampoo. Once a week, perform this treatment and you will notice and improvement of the hair within a few months.
Jojoba Oil – This oil is suitable for all types of hair, and it is known as a treatment for dry and damaged hair.

Peppermint Oil – Good circulation and blood flow through scalp is essential for healthy and thick hair. Peppermint Oil will take care of this problem and will provide enough oxygen. The result will be strong and thick hair.
Citrus oil – If you have oily hair, then the citrus oil is perfect for you. It is great for elimination of dandruff, lice and inflammation of the scalp. Apply it once a week and leave it on the scalp for an hour, then wash with a mild shampoo.
Almond oil – Almond oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are known for strengthening and revitalizing the hair. Massage your scalp and head with almond oil twice a week to increase hair growth.
Tea tree oil – This oil is suitable for people with greasy hair as it controls the sebum production, fat on the scalp, but also moisturizes the hair. Tea tree is a good solution for dandruff, a few drops can be combined with olive oil to make your hair radiant and nourished.
Olive oil – Olive oil is a best solution for dry hair, especially during the summer. When you need extra care, even after bathing in chlorinated pools, apply olive oil to the hair and scalp, then wrap a warm towel and wash your hair with a mild shampoo after an hour.

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.”

5 Foods You Think Are Healthy, But Aren’t

May 9, 2015 by Sheila Smith

Lately, people have begun to pay attention the food that they consume.
The problem is that manufacturers followed this trend and in order to earn more, began to advertise all kinds of foods as “healthy” even though they are not.
Check out these 5 foods you thought were healthy and next time think carefully, before you buy them.

1. Salads – salads are often associated with the opinion that they are healthy, but is it always so? Salads are healthy, but when you add a variety dressings of or mayonnaise they cease to be good for your body, because you consume too many unnecessary calories.

2. Granola bars – If you make them by yourself then you are on the right track. But if you buy them at the store you didn’t make a good choice. Most granola bars that you can find in the shops and supermarkets are full of sugar or sweeteners.

3. Muesli – This breakfast is also presented as a healthy one. But if you buy muesli in a grocery store or supermarket chances are that it will be full of sugar and unnecessary calories. It is best to buy your own cereal, soak them overnight in water and add almonds, walnuts, honey or something according to your taste.

4. Popcorn – Popcorn are healthy and contain few calories but that does not apply to those prepared in the microwave. Make them at home in a healthy way.

5. Brown bread – This is the biggest problem. In fact most types of bread, which are sold as brown do not contain brown flour from whole grains, it is actually white bread with added color. The real brown bread is not soft, but hard. If you just want a healthy bread, make it yourself from germinated wheat grains.

Don’t let manufacturers trick you!

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!

Find out what is the best sleeping position!

May 8, 2015 by Sheila Smith

Everybody have certain habits when it comes to sleeping. While some of us can not imagine spending all night lying on their backs, others love to spread all over the bed.
Sleeping is definitely a very important part of our day, because during sleep the body relaxes, it charges, and renews the energy.
Although maybe you prefer to sleep on your stomach, you should consider how good it is for you.
Check out our sleeping position guide and find out which is best for your health.

1. Sleeping on your back – Sleeping on your back is the best and healthiest position. This position reduces the risk of back pain and neck pain because the spine is in proper position, and the muscles are relaxed during the night. Raised head prevents the development of heartburn, because the acid from the stomach cannot return to the pharynx. There is no face pressure which causes wrinkles nor a pressure on the breasts which spoils their shape and firmness.

The only drawback of this sleeping position is the snoring.
The perfect pillow should be fluffy and big that will keep your head and neck slightly elevated so that the muscles are relaxed.

2. Sleeping on your side – Sleeping on your side is the second preferred position. It’s good for the whole body, prevents snoring and keeps the spine in the correct position. And just like sleeping on the back it prevents heartburn. However, if you are someone who takes care of wrinkles and facial beauty, sleeping on your side is not recommended. The face is constantly on the pillow and it has a lot of pressure on the skin – thus contributing to the faster formation of wrinkles. You can reduce the effects if you sleep on a silk surface, but the pressure will still be there. Also, this position is not good for the breasts because you stretch your ligaments and they lose the elasticity and firmness.
If you are pregnant, Sleep on the left side, because this is the ideal position for good circulation.
The ideal pillow is a fuller or anatomical which will fill the recess between the head and shoulders and so will keep the spine in proper position.

3. Fetus position – This position is not ideal, but it has some advantages. It is a good anti-snoring position as well as ideal sleeping position during pregnancy. However, when you curl up in a position where your head and knees nearly touch you bend your spine, creating pressure on the muscles which reduces the ability to breathe, because of pressure on the lungs. This can lead to reduced amounts of oxygen in the body, resulting in a number of negative consequences. Also, your face is pressed to the pillow which accelerates the formation of wrinkles. Try to strengthen the spine, or try not to be in full fetal position.
The ideal pillow is the same as with sleeping on the side – one that will support the head and neck.

4. Sleeping on your stomach – This is by far the worst sleeping position. Even though the position significantly reduces snoring, because the airways are open, this position causes back and neck pain. Imagine the neck facing the side all night long . Huge pressure is created on the vertebrae, so you may wake up stiff, and in addition there is risk of wrinkles due to the the pressure, however, if you don’t have a problem with your back and neck, and you snore – this is the best position for you.
As for the ideal pillow it should be as thin as possible or do not use a pillow at all.

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!

Why detoxification is important and why now is the time!

May 7, 2015 by Kelly Bennet

Why detoxification is important, and should be done in the Spring? Spring is the best time because, after the long cold winter, spring is the time when everything is awakening, growing and regenerating, the human organism is not excluded from this process. It is know that the philosopher Plato was demanding from his students to purify (detox) their bodies for one month so their body and their spirit is prepared for his teachings.

In this time, detoxification is important so we can improve our health, and we can regain our energy when we feel exhausted on both physical and psychological level. Our body, in normal conditions is programmed to cleanse from all toxins automatically, but the time we live in, with everyday stresses, eating unhealthy and fast food, dehydration and less and less physical work, our body wastes to much energy during these processes and there is no energy for the automatic processes of cleansing and detoxing.

Some of the symptoms that are alerting us that is time to dedicate time in renewing and detoxing our organism are: bad breath and body odor, abnormal body weight, often headaches, chronic sinusitis, bronchitis and asthma, allergies, candida, chronic fatigue, depression, skin problems, poor memory, stomach bloating and gasses and premature aging. Detox or cleansing our body helps us restore the natural balance and heal faster. Many people that I know have very nice experience with detox diets, and almost all of them are sharing the same results, better health, lesser need for sleep and felt more energy, felt less nervous and depressed, relieved chronic diseases and clearer thoughts!

If you feel some of the above symptoms I suggest dedicating some time for cleansing and regaining the balance of your organism!

7 reasons why you should start playing sports

May 7, 2015 by Sheila Smith

The health benefits from doing sports should by no means be ignored.

There are activities for absolutely every body type and personality – whether you cardio exercises, team sports or individual activities – you will easily find a sport that will suit you!
And we are here to persuade you to start doing sports! 🙂
We have 7 reasons why you should start playing sports immediately!

1. Weight control

This may be the most important argument for the ladies! 🙂 Sport is absolutely the quickest and most effective way to have the perfect body. Proper nutrition will lead you halfway, because without physical activity there will be no real results.
When you exercise, the body uses the energy stored in the form of fatty deposits (excess weight) and uses the calories that you consume through food.
But do not worry, it is not necessary to sweat in the fitness center or gym for hours. It is enough just to do a shout run and instead of using the elevator use the stairs.

2. Health control

No matter how fit you are, the practice of sport is essential for your health! Physical activity strengthens high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good” cholesterol and reduces the unhealthy triglycerides. It ensures a good blood flow, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help prevent or control a wide variety of health problems, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain cancers, arthritis….

3. Improving mood

Need emotional energy? Or need to eliminate the stress after a hard day? Practicing in the gym or a short 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates the secretion of serotonin – the hormone of happiness, which is directly responsible for happy feelings. You will automatically feel better when it comes to your appearance and it will increase your self-confidence.

4. Charging your batteries

The more energy you’ll spend, the more you’ll have it! Regular physical activity will improve your muscle strength and will boost your endurance. Physical activity contributes to a better nutrients and oxygen flow to the tissues and your cardiovascular system will work more efficiently. When your heart and lungs work efficiently, you have more energy to deal with everyday things.

5. Sports will improve your sleep

Regular physical activity will improve the quality of sleep! The faster you fall asleep the better you’ll feel in the morning, without waking up all the time and having restless dreams. But do exercise right before sleeping because your body will be too excited to fall asleep.

6. Improvement of sexual life

Every day you’re exhausted from work and you can’t do absolutely anything, let alone be intimate with your partner. This is how you enter the vicious circle of frustration and tiredness. Physical activity can help you here too. As we said it energizes you, and you will look and feel better, which will certainly have an influence on your intimate relationship! Sports can increase sexual desire in women.

7. Exercise can be fun!

Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend your free time. It gives you the opportunity to relax, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun way. So, go dancing, go on hiking or join the volleyball team. Find a physical activity that you’ll enjoy. If you get bored, try something new.
