1. Eat a healthy Balanced diet. Include plenty of green vegetables, fresh fruits, minor millets, milk and milk products. Vegetables and fruits provide antioxidants and minerals which are necessary to keep the body healthy. Amla (amalaki or Indian gooseberry or emblica officinalis), is considered as a fruit which help in hair growth. Include banana in your diet as banana contains plenty of calcium which is a vital nutrient required for hair growth. Healthy diet prevents hair loss and improves quality and quantity of hair.

2. Drink plenty of water (2 liters or 12 glasses per day). Water flushes out toxins and increases moistness of skin and hair. This prevents splitting of hair.

3. Our body produces natural oil which is secreted through oil glands of skin and scalp. This oil keeps our hair strands conditioned. Hence do not use harsh shampoos or soaps which strip off natural oil of scalp. Always use mild shampoo to wash hair.

4. Wash your hair once in three days. Repeated hair wash leads to dry hair and split ends.

5. Exercise regularly. This helps to increase blood circulation and keep our whole body healthy and rejuvenated. A brisk walk for 30 minutes is advisable for all ages.

6. Message your scalp with good hair oil. Hair oil which is processed with hair friendly herbs help to condition the hair and prevent drying of hair. A good head massage help to increase blood circulation to scalp skin and aid hair growth. Head massage also reduces stress, tension headaches and induces good sleep.

7. Take measures to prevent formation of dandruff. Dandruff leads to hair loss and stunts hair growth.

8. Brush your hair from root to tips before taking head bath.

9. Wear a swimming cap to prevent hair damage due to chlorine.

10. Avoid tying hair tightly with hair bands. This leads to baldness.

Menopause is not a sickness is merely one segment of a woman’s existence that perhaps what each one one does it. Maintain an eye on your physical condition you be supposed to get in touch with your doctor or any good fitness usa gym about how most excellent to effortlessness any warning sign and countenance this step with hopefulness. Menopause is an ordinary biological procedure and distinct as the most recent menstrual epoch of women. This stride, in which ovarian purpose come to an end to survive to launch a new hormonal equilibrium, more often than not occurs among 40 and 55 years but might, due to way of life such as smoking, transpire former.

Menopause or post menopauses take place when a woman hasn’t had her epoch for 12 successive months. Once hormones have intensity off, nearly all of the symptom knowledgeable throughout per menopause will evaporate even though a quantity of women have infrequent hot flashes, nervousness, session of gloominess, et al, for a small number of years subsequent to they turn out to be postmenopausal.

The primary possessions of the woman apprehensive are hot flashes and nighttime sweats." on the other hand, more often than not as well is in attendance “as insomnia, headache, palpitations, depressive mood, nervousness and exhaustion.” desire to get most excellent sexual incident and tighten slack vagina use Lady clandestine Serum.

Many women desire to have the "perfect" fit body, but what some fail to realize is the key to that perfect beach bod you have always wanted is way more then some fad diet you found on your search engine. I know first hand what it is like to want to have the ideal body and not see any results with anything you do. But what I recently learned is if you want a fit body it requires hard-work, perseverance, and dedication. So here are a few tips to help get you started to a healthier, happier lifestyle. 

1. Look in the mirror.

Take a look in a mirror and ask yourself what it is I like about my body (my curves, my legs). It may sound cliche but it is important to find aspects of your body you like rather then just focusing in on the aspects you do not like. When you begin working out you may feel upset that you are not getting the results you wanted. When you start to feel this way just think back to your list of good things to help keep that positive attitude!

2. Abs are made 80% in the kitchen, 20% in the gym. 

I have heard this an endless amount of times but did not fully understand what they meant until I recently started my quest to a healthier life. Basically, all it means is you cant just rely on working out at a gym. It is going to take more then just running on a treadmill for 30 minutes to get your body where you want it. You need to be commited with dietary habits as well. No this does not mean eat less , you want to make sure you are meeting your daily calorie intake. There is a great app for this actually that helps you track how many calories you should be taking in to get the results you want. Here is the application link (https://www.loseit.com/). IMPORTANT: everyone will indulge on a sweet every now and again but do not beat yourself up. You can still have the foods you like but within moderation. Instead of two scoops of ice cream have one, that type of thing.

3. Workout all aspects of your body

It is easy to say, " I have a gut so I am going to do crunches". Although crunches help in eliminatiing belly fat, research has shown that just doing one specific workout will not give you the results you want. In order to shed your belly fat and slim your waist you want to make sure you have a wide varity of workouts. For those of you who wish to workout at home here is the link to my 10 week work-out plan:(http://lianeelizabeth.blogspot.com/2012/07/10-week-workout-plan.html) The great thing about this is it helps workout different parts of your body-abdominal region, legs, and arms. Along with these workouts make sure you get at least 30-60 minutes of cardio at least twice a week. This will help boost your metabolism and shed pounds in a fun way.

4.Have a workout partner.

Consider working out and eating healthy with someone, believe it or not it helps to have another person there by your side. Those days you do not feel like getting up and going to the gym or stuffing your face with spoonfuls of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, they will be there motivating you and cheering you on. Consider them your personal cheerleader. You can even workout with a significant other, ever since I started my healthier lifestyle my boyfriend has been doing the same. We help eachother stay committed and push each other to work harder. (Side note: It makes for better sex too since you are both more confident) 

Best of luck to all who are ready to begin the path to a healthier lifestyle. I have left my email below for those of you who have any other questions or need some extra motivation!

Hey girls, hit me with your favorite lip balm products! You may also comment them on my blog post: http://justacynch.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/the-lip-balm-pitch/

(I took pretty nice photographs, so I thought I'd share the post to you guys!)

I have on my post one high-end and two budget lip balms that you guys might like! Hope to see you in my blog! :) 

I currently don't use a primer under my makeup. I just put mositurizer on first. But I've been seeing and hearing that putting primer on before makeup can really help it go on better and look better.

Do any of you use primer before makeup application? If so can you recommend an affordable one? Also do you put mositurizer on before the primer or is primer moisturizing enough that I could then skip that step.

Thanks!

Does anyone have dark sunspot on their faces? I am in my mid twenties and I think I just started to develop two. I have heard that Asian girls use “whitening” products to get ride of them, but I don’t necessarily want my face to get whiter. Any tips?

I’m looking for a new makeup remover. Any suggestions?

I’m not sure if there is a thread about this already, but I am curious what my fellow Chictopians think about plastic surgery/cosmetic procedures. I find it quite disturbing how mainstream it seems to have gotten – even in my small town several girls have gotten (obvious) breast augmentations and many more are showing up with (obviously) collagen-filled lips. I would never judge someone if they wanted to change something about themselves they always hated, but it’s alarming to me that looking obviously artificial has become somewhat of a trend. What do you think?

I’ve found so far, is…drumroll please….lemon water!!! If you drink hot water with lemon (and honey for taste) every morning on an empty stomach and then another glass of cool or warm water with lemon juice in it through the day it clears out al the toxins in your body which come out through your skin! If you don’t believe me look…

your welcome :)

or is it a good look to have your entire eye area just all black and count that as “eyes” (hence eyes now look bigger) from afar/in photos and you don’t see much of the white parts. just black eye make-up with black eyeball (i’ve actually seen this on an asian friend and i think she looks so cute)

sorry if i sound funny, don’t know how else to describe it, hope you know what i am talking about.

What are every bodies favorite brands in make-up?

Mine is MAC because it always makes my skin look flawless when it’s blotchy and they do amazing lipstick and eyeshadow colours. Only downside is it’s abit on the expensive side ~~

Does any one have a tip or trick that helps to grow your hair faster? I chopped my hair last summer I kinda regret it.. even though I need it! My hair looks healthier but i miss my long hair..
HELP!

Okay, so i have really bad eczema, and average acne. I have no idea how to deal with either one of them. I’ve tried some creams for dry skin, and various lotions such as Aquaphor Original Ointment, and Eucerin Calmin Itch Relief. Unfortunately I don’t have any health insurance right now, but I live in MD USA, and if anyone knows doctors with reasonable prices, I’d be willing to go. This stuff is a nightmare, and it’s making my skin very uneven and damaged.

like many other teenagers i am fighting against acne & i was wondering what was the best product to buy so can my acne can go away..finally. (my acne is not severe)

That akward moment when you tip the lady who gave you a manicure/wax/haircut. You think to yourself “did I give enough? Omg, what kind of person doesn’t give enough tip?”. How much do you usually tip? Is there a percentage or something?

Ever since I discovered Lime Crime's 'D'Lilac' shade of lipstick [http://www.dollskill.com/lime-crime-d-lilac-opaque-lipstick.html] I have been DYING to try it out. Alas, after checking their lipstick shade to skin tone match-up chart, I found that apparently it wouldn't suit 'warmer' skin tones like my own. I'm Asian and (apparently) have a mix of a Chinese and Filipino complexion; should I accept that there's just no way it would ever suit me or does anyone know of how I could possibly make it work? Has anyone else had the same or similar concerns or problems with pastel lipsticks? Let me know! x

PS.: oh, and i've checked for swatches online and just about all are done on lighter skin tones, thus, making judgement for me very difficult. and lime crime is WAY too pricey for me to buy and try without certainty that it would suit and be worth it.

*wearing heavy glasses instead of opting for lighter (but slightly more expensive) lenses?

I wear glasses full time

#Any suggestions?

I’m planning to chop off my hair next Saturday and am trying to find some ideas online to bring to my new stylist. Do any of you have any tips for a good online hairstyle site with lots of pictures? I can’t seem to find any good ones (or get lost in endless advertising hell)...
Any tips would be most appreciated! Thanks and smiles from Zurich

Which makeup do you use for taking pictures? Do you like to use a lot of makeup, or only some lipstick, or none?

At night wash your hands then your face gentlyy, then put neosporin on the spott and a band aid over it and repeat every night! It worked for me almost like the next dayy.
