Summary:
1 Pain On the Bottom Of Your Foot: According to the Mayo Clinic, the most common causes for pain on the bottom of your foot are injury, overuse or any conditions that may cause inflammation that involves any of the bones, tendons or ligaments. For example, runners who train for long distance races may experience pain in their feet after training for extended periods of time. This pain is usually a result of overtraining, and if ignored, can lead to fractures or even breaks. So for those who are training for races or triathlons, you need to give your feet a break once and awhile.
2 Knee Buckling: When your knee buckles at a very young age, it is usually not that serious. But as you get older, your knees can become significantly weaker. So when it buckles, it’s usually not a good sign. Healthline states that the number one cause for your knee buckling is an injury. They add that many cases of knee instability are caused by injuries from high-impact activities such as running. The most common injuries are ACL tears and meniscus tears. The other common cause for your knee buckling according to Healthline is arthritis. Inflammation fills your joints and will often affect the knees. Knee buckling is a common form of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
3 Pain In the Back of the Ear: It can be difficult to identify what is causing your headache. But if you have a persistent pain in the back of your ear, it can be a number of things according to Healthline. One of the reasons could be that you have pinched nerves in your neck. You can get pinched nerves in your neck if you keep it bent for a long period of time. Another reason you might have pain in the back of your ear is dental problems. Healthline explains that if you have an abscessed tooth or, or other dental issues, it can cause pain behind the ear.
4 Sharp Pain In Your Head: WebMD states that if you are experiencing a sharp pain in your head at least a few times a month, it could be occipital neuralgia. This condition occurs when the nerves that are running from the spinal cord to the scalp become inflamed. You will either feel pain on the back of your head or on the base of the skull.
5 Muscle Cramp: There are a couple reasons why you might have a muscle cramp according to the Mayo Clinic. The first reason is inadequate blood supply. Your arteries become narrow and you could feel muscle cramps in your legs and feet while you are exercising. The second reason is nerve compression. If the nerves in your spine are compressed, you may feel cramp-like pain in your legs.
6 Sharp Stomach Pain: There are many different causes for stomach pain. If you experience this pain once in a while, Medical News Today states that it could just be an acid reflux. They add that if you experience this pain a couple of times a day, it could be a stomach or peptic ulcer.
7 Leg Pain: The arteries in your legs can become damaged and narrowed just like the arteries that are connected to your heart. If this happens, you can experience lower leg pain when you’re walking, climbing the stairs or any other kind of exercise, says WebMD. This is called peripheral arterial disease. If you start feeling these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that you have this disease, but it does indicate that you should go speak to a doctor and get a proper diagnosis.
8 Sudden Back Pain: The first cause for sudden back pain is an injury. If you are exercising or overexerting your back, you increase the chances of pulling a muscle or straining it, according to WebMD. But if you have constant stress or poor posture, it can eventually lead to back spasms and chronic aching. WebMD adds that there is pressure on the spine, which can result from a herniated disc; it can also cause sudden back pain.

The Unspoken Truth Of Long Term Relationships
Here is the unspoken truth of long term relationships.
#Couple #Relationships #Truth
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
20) Unexpected Finds With Laundry: Sometimes when we put on our clean clothes for the day, it immensely helps when we have a loved one there with us to find potential things wrong with our outfit before we head to work.
19) Find Little Hairs: When you’re in a loving long-term relationship, you tend to find traces of your partner everywhere you go. Especially if your partner has long hair. You’ll find these hairs in your clothes, in the bathroom, and sometimes even in your food.
18) Falling Asleep Watching Movies: Any person can tell you that their partner has fallen asleep on the couch while watching a movie. For some people, it happens way more often than others.
17) Dancing Privately Just Because: A sign of a true romance is if couples in long-term relationships decide to have their own private dance with each other when playing music. Is it corny? Yes. Is it cheesy?
16) Washing Hair Is Fun: A lot of boys can tell you that they actually really enjoy washing a woman’s hair, so why not make it a full-on spa day and have them do it for you?
15) Morning Breath Is Tolerated: Let’s face it, nobody looks that good in the morning, and furthermore, nobody smells that good in the morning either. However, when you’re in love with someone, these worries seemingly melt away.
14) Spooning Is Extraordinary: When you find a person that you love, no matter how long you’ve been with the person it’s always an enjoyable experience when that person wants to cuddle. Cuddles are what make the world go round.
13) Even Grocery Shopping Is An Adventure: It’s a lot of fun when you get to prepare meals with a loved one. A loving long-term relationship is made even better when something as mundane as grocery shopping can become an enjoyable experience.
12) You Aren’t Afraid Of Each Other’s Bodies: This is especially true when you notice something on your loved one that they haven’t quite noticed themselves.
11) Teasing Is All In The Name Of Good Humor: Sometimes it’s a lot of fun to catch your loved ones in awkward or compromising positions if it’s all in the name of good humor.
10) You Help Each Other Get Ready: After a long and hard day, or in a particularly difficult morning when motivation is at its lowest, that’s when we struggle to even do something as simple as brush our hair out before bed.
9) Reading Together Is The Greatest Thing Ever: Couples who read together stay together. Reading is an enjoyable activity, and so is reading at the same time as your partner.
8) Sharing Food: Any person who has been in a loving long-term relationship knows that you cannot buy a bit of fast food or street food without sharing a few bites with your partner.
7) Eating Out Becomes An Adventure: Is there an exciting new bagel place that just opened up? What about that pizza parlor someone at work told you about? Or a new cafe that just opened up at the end of the street?
6) You Tolerate Your Partner’s Body: Sometimes being in a loving long-term relationship means tolerating your partner’s quirky body. They may have a strange mole hidden in a funny place, bad morning breath, or in this case, razor-sharp talons for toenails!
5) You Create New Traditions: When you’re in a loving long-term relationship with someone, you tend to spend a great deal of time with them.
4) Snuggling On The Couch: Another great activity for people in a loving long-term relationship is snuggling on your couch.
3) Coming Home To See Them Is The Best: After a long day at the office or if you’ve been away for a while, coming home to see your partner is such a joyous feeling. You feel like a part of you has been missing since you parted.
2) You Appreciate The Things They Do For You: In any loving long-term relationship, you take turns helping around the house. Nobody should ever share the burden of cooking all the time, or doing the laundry or always cleaning the bathroom. These are shared responsibilities.
1) You Melt In Each Other’s Arms: Sometimes, especially on days when we really need to feel the other person, a simple kiss or caress of your partner’s hand is enough to melt you into a warm pile of gushygoo. Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than by showing your feelings physically in a loving long-term relationship.

16 Things You'll Understand If You Went To High School In A Small Town
Here are 16 things that people will only understand, if they went to high school in a small town.
#SmallTown #School #Community
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
16) You share the same teachers as your relatives: Sometimes you’ll get into your high school class only to realize your teacher somehow already knows you, and your sister, or even your mother if they’re old enough!
Sometimes this can be a good or bad thing. If one particular teacher wasn’t the biggest fan of your crazy Uncle Frank, well, he or she may not like you very much to start either! Just take it as an opportunity to prove them wrong!
15) Teachers wear many hats: Your gym teacher might also be the shop class teacher, the guidance counselor, and the head coach.
14) Working with your previous teachers: When you graduate teachers college and you get a job as a high school teacher, if you’re in a very small town you might actually be working with the very teachers that taught you! Talk about the twilight zone!
13) The textbooks haven’t changed: Some small-town high schools are using the same textbooks for the past three decades. Ever get one of those books that are on the verge of disintegration?
12) Word gets around quickly: When something significant happens at the high school, nearly everyone in town hears about it. It’s a small town after all!
11) The entire town shuts down for home games: Any small town with a high school sports team celebrates home games by everybody going. It’s also usually the only thing to do!
10) You’ve had the same classmates for years: Often the people you went to grade school or middle school with, are also the people you end up going to high school with! This will either result in some great long lasting friendships or some enemies that you have a lot of dirt on!
9) The grade school is the high school: In extremely rural areas, some buildings double as both the grade school and the high school. You might also only have five other classmates!
8) You see your teachers outside of work: Sometimes when you get old enough, you discover that your teachers drink at the same dive bar in town that you now drink at! Nothing like getting drunk with your old English teacher!
7) You’ll have the same locker as your relatives: Sometimes if a high school has been around long enough, you might even wind up with the same locker as your dad. It might even still have some of his rock and roll stickers.
6) Your high school is also the community center: Often with rural areas, the high school doubles as a community center on evenings and weekends. After all, it’s the only large government building in town!
5) Your high school is also a designated storm shelter: Chances are, if you’re living in a remote area, your high school is also the only fallout or storm shelter for miles where families can go to in cases of extreme emergencies.
4) Everybody knows everybody: In a small town, if you attend high school and make a pit stop at the convenience store, the owner might say something like “oh yeah, you’re so-and-so’s kid!” This can become bothersome at times because it might feel like you have no privacy.
3) Your share the same bus with most of your classmates: If you’re living in a very small town, you probably ride the same bus to school with all of your classmates.
2) You can’t imagine your community without it: Often in small towns, the high school really is the center focus of everything. Your community just wouldn’t be the same without it. From football games to school dances, it seems like everyone in the community is always involved in school events in one way or another, and it brings the community together.
1. Everyone in the community is like family: With very small towns, people in your community will often treat you like you’re a part of the family. Everyone goes to the same school, everyone is part of the same thing. It really is the cornerstone of any good small community. It’s what makes living in a small town so special.

16 Microwave Life Hacks You'll Actually Use
These are easy microwave hacks that are very useful, but most people don't know about them.
#LifeHacks #Microwave #MicrowaveHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
16. Toasted Nuts: Are you looking for a tasty, hot snack? Well, it just so happens that your microwave can help you out. All you have to do is take half a teaspoon of vegetable oil and pour it on a plate and add a cup of nuts. Put the plate in your microwave for one-minute intervals and stir the nuts in between. Continue this for three to eight minutes.
15. Steam Vegetables: Love steamed vegetables as much as I do? Well, according to Eating Well, [ht be better to microwave your vegetables to steam them than use your stove. The reason is that the hotter you cook them, the more nutrients they lose. The microwave will help cook the vegetables quicker so fewer nutrients are lost.
14. Cook Bacon: Is your stove occupied and you’re really craving some bacon? Not to worry, your microwave can do the job. All you need is a microwave-safe dish, with a few paper towels. Add some bacon to the paper towel and then cover it with more paper towel and cook in two-minute intervals until it’s crispy.
13. Cook Fish: Ever tried cooking steak in the microwave? I have - it’s almost impossible to chew. But take fish and cook it in the microwave and it’ll taste perfect. Eating Well states that all you need to do is wrap your fish in safe plastic with the seasoning of your choice. Cook it for two minutes on high.
12. Softening Brown Sugar: According to Real Simple, if you have brown sugar that needs to be softened, all you need to do is keep it in its plastic package and add a few drops of water. Then cook it on medium for 10 to 20 seconds.
11. Re Crisp Potato Chips: One pet peeve I hate is when someone leaves a bag of potato chips open. They become stale and are no longer crispy. But if you put the potato chips on a paper towel and heat them up quickly in your microwave, they will crisp right up.
10. Roasting Garlic: According to Real Simple, it takes about 45 minutes to roast garlic in the oven. But for the microwave, it only takes eight minutes. All you need to do is slice the top of the head to reveal the cloves. Place the head in a small dish with salt and pepper and put two tablespoons of olive oil on it and two tablespoons of water at the bottom of the bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and cook it in the microwave on medium for about eight minutes.
9. Prevent Microwave Splatter: To avoid this, pierce the skin of the food you are warming up before you put it in the microwave. This will allow the steam to escape from the food.
8. Getting More Juice From Lemons: Heat it up in the microwave on medium for 20 seconds, you will be able to squeeze more juice out of them.
7. Drying Herbs: Place them on a paper plate or paper towel and heat them for 30 seconds in the microwave. Then take them out flip them over and repeat. If you do this for two to four minutes, they will dry up, says Serious Eats.
6. Bring Back Stale Bread: Place the bread on a damp paper towel and put it in the microwave and heat it up on high for 10 seconds.
5. Soak Beans Quicker: All you have to do is place them in a bowl with a pinch of baking soda and add water to them. Put the bowl in the microwave on high for 10 minutes and then take it out and let it stand for 40 minutes.
4. Peel Tomatoes and Peaches: Peeling a tomato or a peach can be annoying. But thanks to your microwave it no longer has to be. Put it on a paper towel or plate and microwave it for three seconds on medium. Then let it sit for two minutes.
3. Give Your Plants A Boost: According to Colorado State University horticulturist Laura Pottorff, you can sterilize your soil for growing seeds by microwaving it first. She suggests filling plastic containers with a thin layer of soil before heating it up in the microwave for 90 seconds per kilogram.
2. Disinfect Your Sponge: Not everyone has money to continue replacing cleaning supplies each time they use them. So for sponges, you can use your microwave to disinfect it so it can be reused. Microwave it for two minutes on medium and you’ll kill most of the germs.
1. Cook Scrambled Eggs: A much quicker way to scramble eggs is to beat the eggs and pour them into a mug along with milk, salt, pepper, and cheese. Heat it up for 45 seconds on medium in the microwave and then take out the mug and stir it. Once you’re finished stirring it, put it back in the microwave for another 45 seconds.

Summary:
Aries – The ram’s bravery is overwhelming, leading to success in competitive or sales-based jobs. Aries are the authoritative types. This means that they never slack off. In fact, they tend to put 100 percent of their effort into every single thing they do. They are extremely competitive and absolutely hate losing. According to astrologer Dr. Athena Perrakis, Aries have more stamina than any other sign, and when they have a goal, they go at it at full force. They don't give up until they've accomplished their goal. Dr. Perrakis also states that aries tend to start businesses and sit in high level positions. She says that good career options for someone who is an aries include ownership or managerial positions. Aries tend to question authority, which is why they would excel in these types of positions. Another great career path for an Aries is a position in Human Resources. This is because an Aries is a people person. They are intuitive and can often accurately assess someone's character. They are driven, ambitious, and very instinctual.
Taurus – Bulls love beauty and stability, making them ripe for jobs that have built in benefits. Their strong, commanding voices also do well in large groups. Tauruses are also all about the money. They know how to make money, and then make even more of it. Because they are so intelligent, they are also great with numbers, too. Dr. Perrakis says that because of this, anyone who is a Taurus would be a great financial advisor, accountant, or investor. She states that Tauruses are conservative, shrewd, and intuitive. They don't waste money and are great with keeping their finances in order. No wonder Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and one of the richest people on earth is a taurus! So if you're a taurus, consider a career in finance, business, or banking.
Gemini – The twins are tough to fulfill with a repetitive or tedious job, as their volatility needs change and stimulation. They work well in oft-changing roles, and take to travel easily. And according to Dr. Perrakis, Geminis are extremely intelligent. They can understand complex ideas and solve very challenging and complicated problems. This is why geminis would make great translators, professors, or teachers. They are eloquent with their words and would also make great public speakers. And because geminis are so eloquent with their words, they would be great politicians or debators. No wonder Anderson Cooper - one of the most famous correspondents and news analysts of modern time, is a gemini!
Cancer – These astrological mother's excel at jobs where they nurture children, and work very well in positions where they are taking care of others. Cancers are also notorious for being emotional. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and aren't afraid to show it. They love taking care of people and nurturing them, especially if they are family members. Dr. Perrakis says that cancers also make excellent chefs, and would succeed in a career as a professional cook or restaurant owner or manager. A cancer would also thrive in a nursing home or as a nurse in a hospital. This is because they are great nurturers and are extremely warm-hearted.

Natural Blood Thinners And How To Prevent Blood Clots
Here is how you can prevent blood clots and stop a bursting artery.
#BloodClot #Arteries #Health
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
The arterial blood clot: Before we get into the different types of blood thinners, we should discuss blood clots. Let’s start with the arterial clot. I have already mentioned that blood clots can develop in the arteries. They can block blood and oxygen from reaching certain organs. These types of clots will often form in the hands and feet. But in more severe cases, they can also develop in the brain, causing a stroke.
The venous blood clot: Another type of blood clot is the venous blood clot. This is when these clots form in the veins and tend to develop very slowly. Venous clots are more prone to development after trauma or surgery. There are three types of clots that can form in your veins. The first one is a pulmonary embolism (this clot can travel to the lungs and cause death). The second type of clot is deep vein thrombosis (usually occurs in the lower pelvis, leg or thigh). The last type of clot is superficial venous thrombosis (occurs in the veins closest to the skin and can cause severe pain). If you experience inflamed skin, reddened skin near your vein or a vein that has become too painful to touch, you may be suffering from a venous blood clot.
Symptoms of a blood clot: The easiest way to determine if you have a blood clot is to get it checked out. But you need to look out for certain symptoms. If you experience cold hands or feet, loss of color in the affected area, muscle pain, or weakness in a certain area, you should make an appointment with your doctor.
Other symptoms of blood clots including heart pain, chest pain, upper body discomfort or pain, and shortness of breath. Blood clots can also make you feel weak, dizzy, and confused. They can also lead to severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Risk factors: There are certain risk factors that contribute to blood clots. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, suffer from diabetes or are addicted to smoking, you have an increased risk of developing blood clots.
The American Society of Hematology states that the risk factors associated with blood clotting vary between the different types of blood clots. For example, the risk factors for developing venous blood clots differ greatly from those associated with arterial blood clots.
Blood clot treatment: There are many different types of treatments associated with blood clots. The treatment that you receive will depend entirely on your health as well as the location of your blood clot. Some types of treatment for blood clots include anticoagulants, which help prevent blood clots from forming. Thrombolytics are also used to help dissolve blood clots, while a thrombectomy is the surgical removal of a blood clot. Some patients who are diagnosed with venous blood clots may be referred to a hematologist, which is a type of doctor that specializes in blood disease

9 Survival Life Hacks That May Save Your Life One Day
Here are helpful survival hacks that could save your life one day.
#Survival #SurvivalLifeHacks #SurvivalHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
9. Never walk downstairs with your hands in your pockets. It sounds a little obvious, but if you trip, you need your hands to save yourself from getting hurt. Taking a tumble down a flight of stairs can be pretty disastrous, so it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry!
8. Keeping your keys by your bedside table: Keeping your keys by your bedside table may save your life if someone breaks into your home. If someone were to ever break into your home, just press the panic button to set off your alarm in the car. This may scare off the person who is breaking into your home, or may even spark a neighbour to call the police.
7. Always follow your instinct. That may seem like an obvious one, but let’s be real here, a lot of the times we don’t do this. When something feels wrong, your body is telling you that danger is not too far. A lot of the time, people to fail to follow their instincts. This can lead to bad situations. In certain cases, when our natural instincts take over, there’s a reason that it happens. If you have a gut feeling about something and your intuition seems to be trying to tell you something, you should always believe it.
6. Self defence: Knowing a bit of self-defence, in general, is always helpful. But for those of us who don’t know much about fighting, there’s one trick that always works if attacked. Go straight for the attacker’s groin area. This will stop them right away and will give you a bit of time to get out and run to get help. This might seem like common sense, but all too often in times of stress or panic, our minds can go blank and forget everything we know about defending ourselves. In the event that you ever need to protect yourself, just aim for the groin area.
5. Staying safe in a cab or an Uber: Generally, people feel pretty safe driving in a cab. But of course, there’s always that possibility that something can go wrong.
4. Walking in a parking lot alone at night: If you’re going to a parking lot alone at night, walk with your keys in your hands. That way you can get into the vehicle quickly and drive off. Never stand by your car rummaging through your purse or your pockets. If there is a predator or someone dangerous around, this gives them time to creep up to you unexpectedly and attack you. So always have your keys in your hands before you enter the parking lot.
3. Texting and walking: We’re all probably guilty of walking and texting at the same time. Don’t do this when you’re walking in the street. You become an easy target. Our phones are pretty distracting, but when you are walking down the street just put it away. You don’t want to risk getting hit by a car. You could also potentially make a car swerve into other cars or traffic, which can cause a car accident. So just pay attention to what you’re doing and save the phone use for later! The same can be said for texting and driving.
2. Being caught in a burning building: If you ever find yourself trapped in a burning building, don’t run out. Get down to the floor and start crawling. According to KidsHealth, there’s more oxygen down there and you won’t pass out. And, of course, never ever take the elevators if you are in a burning building. Elevators can malfunction when there is a fire, and the last thing you want to have happen is get stuck in an elevator when there is a fire.
You should also always follow the instructions that the fire department gives you if you are trapped in a burning building. Always do what you can to keep yourself safe.
1. Always have an emergency kit in your car: In the event that you ever find yourself in trouble on the road (if you blow a tire and are stranded on the side of the road, for example), always have a an emergency safety kit in your car. An emergency safety kit contains booster cables, a blanket, a flashlight, a first aid kit, and more to help you in the event that you are stranded. You can purchase an emergency kit at any hardware or auto store. You won’t regret the purchase, especially if your car breaks down in the middle of winter!

5 Liver Disease Symptoms That You Should Know
Liver disease symptoms that indicate that your liver is damaged and you must change your lifestyle.
#Liver #LiverDisease #LiverDiseaseSymptoms
Timestamps:

https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
6. Your Blood Sugar Is Low: According to Healthline, one of the main responsibilities of your own liver is to maintain your blood sugar level. If your liver has been severely compromised, your blood sugar will begin to drop. Your liver processes and produces glucose after you eat a meal. But if it doesn’t have the ability to release the glucose into the blood, your glucose level will begin to drop. This results in low blood sugar levels which causes extreme fatigue.
5 Hormone Imbalance: Your own liver also regulates your sex hormones. If your liver is severely damaged, it could result in an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen levels. This can lead to serious health problems such as worse PMS symptoms and also low libido.
Do you recognize any of these signs so far? Make sure you stick around until the end, because we’ll tell you what you can do to improve your liver’s health!
4. Unexplained Mood Swings: Your brain controls your mood and memory. If toxins begin to enter your brain, you could start to experience mood swings and even forget certain things. In many anxiety and depression cases, the liver is severely damaged. If you start to notice unexplained mood swings and memory loss, go speak to a health professional.
3. Low Immune System: Many people don’t realize this but your own liver plays a big role in building your immune system. The nutrients that it provides for the body help fight off infections. It also helps prevent toxins from infecting the body by releasing them. The Mayo Clinic states that if your liver cannot do this, your immune system will become weak.
If you notice that you are feeling weak or fatigued, or if you keep getting sick, it may be your liver. If you feel weak and also start to show the other symptoms described in this video, you should consider checking to see if you have liver damage.
2. Sleeping Disorder: Have you ever experienced sleeping beside or near someone who snores? It’s annoying and can be an absolute pain to deal with. In some cases, the reason why a person is snoring is that the airway they’re trying to breathe through is blocked. It can be blocked for 2 to 3 minutes. If you’ve been told that you’re starting to snore, you might want to go to your doctor and get your liver checked out. Why? Well, According to a study conducted by researchers called Managing Sleep Disturbances in Cirrhosis, sleep disturbances such as insomnia, sleep apnea (which can cause snoring), and other sleep disorders are common symptoms associated with liver cirrhosis. The study also states that this sleep disturbance can negatively affect a person's life and cognitive functions, and that those who suffer from liver disease may also experience restless leg syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea.
1. Chronic Fatigue: The Mayo Clinic states that in addition to having a weakened immune system, if your liver is damaged, you will also experience chronic fatigue. This chronic fatigue can lead to lack of sleep, lack of energy, and an overall sense of malaise. And if you continue to feel constantly fatigued and are not getting enough sleep, you may start to notice that your mind seems to be foggy. You may find that you are confused and forgetful as well. In addition to this, if your own liver is being overworked, then it won’t be able to filter blood properly. Because of this, toxins are left to roam free throughout the body. In some cases, those toxins can make their way to the brain and affect your sleeping patterns. If this occurs, you may experience symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and difficulty making everyday decisions.

15. Berries: Scientists at Harvard University found in 2016 that increasing the daily intake of berries, such as blueberries and strawberries, can help people lose weight for the long term. It is said that the reason for this is because berries have high amounts of flavonoids which have been linked to weight loss.
14. Whole Grains: A Tufts University study proved that people who eat three or more daily servings of whole grains such as oatmeal had 10 percent less belly fat than people who ate the same amount of white carbs. This is said to be because whole grains are higher in fiber, which keeps you full for longer.
13. Avocados: A study published in the journal Internal Medicine Review found that avocados can help people lose weight for many reasons. The reason for this weight loss is because avocados are rich in many nutrients that help with higher intakes of fiber, healthy fats, vitamins E and C, folate, magnesium, copper and potassium.
12. Cayenne Pepper: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition performed a study that found that daily consumption of one of the compounds found in pepper speeds up abdominal fat loss. It does this by boosting the body’s ability to convert food into energy. Next time you’re cooking, add some cayenne pepper to spice up some meat or vegetarian dishes.
11. Salmon: A 2015 study from Kyoto University found that salmon helps your body transform fatty white fat cells into fat-burning beige cells. Salmon helps build muscle when following a steady workout routine. It also contains the right types of fats, such as Omega-3s, which helps your body burn more fat.
10. Cinnamon: Researchers at the University of Michigan have found that cinnamaldehyde, which is an essential oil in cinnamon, activates thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is a metabolic bodily process that helps burn calories and produce heat. So if you add some cinnamon to your oatmeal in the morning, you’re literally going to be burning fat cells.
9. Apples and Pears: Research which was posted on the US National Library of Medicine in 2003 stated the results of a study by the State University of Rio de Janeiro on a correlation between apples, pears, and weight loss. Women were instructed to eat apples, pears, or oatmeal cookies three times a day. After 12 weeks the group that had a fruit supplement lost more weight and had a greater decrease in blood glucose than the group that ate the oatmeal cookies.
8. Chicken: A 2013 study in the medical journal Obesity found that boosting dietary protein decreases total body fat and abdominal fat and helps increase lean body mass and your body’s energy expenditure during periods of weight maintenance and weight loss.

19 Strangest Guinness World Records Ever
Here are the strangest guinness world records ever.
Timestamps:
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
1. Fastest time to crush three watermelons with the thighs. Ukraine strongwoman Olga Liaschuk proved the unparalleled strength of her thighs when she managed to crush three watermelons between them in just 14.65 seconds. Liaschuk broke the world record with her super niche skill at the Mediaset Studios in Milan, Italy, on June 26th, 2014. She attempted to trump her feat by setting a record for “Most watermelons crushed with the thighs in one minute,” but just fell short of the current record.
2. Furthest distance to blow a pea. André Ortolf has had his heart set on breaking a world record ever since he was introduced to the annual book. He’s since achieved multiple records to his name, including Fastest 100m wearing ski-boots and Fastest 100m in clogs. However, his latest feat was his ability to blow a pea 7.51 m, which was achieved in Germany on July 12th, 2014.
#Strangest #GuinnessRecords #GWR
3. Most straws stuffed in the mouth (hands off). UK’s Simon Elmore managed to stuff his mouth full of 400 straws, without the help of his hands, and hold them there for 10 seconds. The feat was accomplished at the Mark ‘n’ Simon Show in Söllhuben, Bavaria, Germany, on August 6th, 2009.
4. Most gurning world champion wins by a female. For those unfamiliar with gurning, it’s a celebrated fair competition where the person who can make the most grotesque face wins. Anne Woods solidified her place as the female with the most world champion wins with 27 to her name ever since initially competing in 1977.
5. Most toilet seats broken by the head in one minute. Okay, so this one is pretty weird. American Kevin Shelley managed to set the world record for most wooden toilet seats broken with the head by splintering 46 within a minute. The feat was accomplished on September 1st, 2007, on the set of Guinness World Records – Die größten Weltrekorde in Cologne, Germany.
6. Most clothes pegs clipped to the face in one minute. Italian Silvio Sabba managed to set the painful world record for most clothes pegs clipped to the face in one minute with 51 pegs dangling from his facial skin simultaneously. The feat was accomplished in Pioltello, Italy, on December 27th, 2012.
7. Longest eyelash. 49-year-old You Jianxia set the world record for longest eyelash with her left upper lid measuring in at 12.40 cm (4.88 in) long. The official measurement commenced in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China, on June 28th, 2016. According to The Independent, You Jianxia first noticed her unnatural eyelash growth while on an 18-month nature retreat back in 2013.
8. First implanted antenna. Avant-garde artist and cyborg activist, Neil Harbisson, is the first person in the world to have an antenna implanted in his skull. The antenna uses audible vibrations in his skull to report information back to him. Known as the world’s first cyborg, Harbisson was recognized in September 2017 by the Guinness World Records for his radical implantation.
9. Most Jenga blocks removed by whip in one minute. Removing Jenga blocks while keeping the tower erect is tricky enough by hand, but April Choi brought things to a new extreme. Choi managed to set a world record by removing 4 Jenga blocks by using only a whip in one minute in Peoria, Illinois, on September 27th, 2016.
10. Longest Kiss. Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat swept the competition at an event organized by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! In Pattaya, Thailand in February 2013. The couple beat out nine others when they managed to lock lips for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. The incredibly durable kiss won the Tiranarats a cash prize and two diamond rings alongside their Guinness World Records title.
11. Most consecutive stairs climbed on the head. Most people can’t imagine climbing a single stair on their head, but China-based athlete Li LongLong managed to ascend 36 consecutive steps. Li previously set the world record with 34 consecutive stairs on his head but returned to beat his own record on the set of a Guinness World Records special in Jiangsu, China on January 5th, 2015.
12. Most rotations hanging from a power drill in one minute. You have to wonder how some people even think of these records, but Huy Giang managed to get his name in the books by spinning wildly from a power drill lodged in the ceiling. His record of 148 total rotations was s

8 Signs Your Partner No Longer Loves You
These 8 signs show that your partner no longer loves you. Being in love can be a tremendous feeling, knowing that you have a partner to rely on and trust in can be reassuring and satisfying. But falling out of love can be just as perilous and daunting.

Summary:
8. No eye contact. In an Insider article, they revealed that it is common for newlyweds to always stare at their partners. This is a sign of affection and wanting to be close to their loved one. But if you find your partner constantly averting your gaze or looking elsewhere, either at people or objects, then it might be indicative that your partner is no longer interested in you.
There’s something magical about making eye contact with the person you love. If you notice that your partner rarely even looks at you anymore, or avoids eye contact at all costs, it might mean that they are no longer in love with you.
7. Noticing Quirks. According to a study done by the APA (American Psychological Association), they found that partners who have little quirks and quips can be more attractive to a person than physical attributes. But this works vice versa as well, if you are starting to find these quirks which you once liked to be annoying and frustrating, it might be indicative that you no longer love your partner.
For example, if you are starting to get annoyed by the small things which you used to find cute about your partner, it might mean that you are falling out of love. You might also find that you lash out and get angry easily because of these small things. If you notice that you are getting angry at your partner for what seems like even the smallest of things, it could be a red flag!
6. You envision a future without them. In the first stages of love, the honeymoon stage, it is common to regularly think about that person and fantasize about a future with them. But if you are regularly thinking about or envisioning your life without your significant other then it might be time to plan for your future without him or her.
5. Decreasing communication. According to an article done by This Is Insider, a decrease in communication can be a huge sign that shows that you no longer love your partner. If you are choosing to communicate relationship problems to outsiders such as family and friends rather than to your significant other, it might be time to move on.
4. Lack of physical intimacy. Nicole McCance is a relationship expert and couples therapist and she says that a lack of physical intimacy can be indicative of a relationship that is deteriorating. While it is not the case that all couples engage in sexual acts, it should be a cause for concern if you notice that your sex life with your partner is deteriorating.
3. Your partner spends more time out. Relationship expert April Masini says that ‘if you notice a change in interest in your partner’s company, that’s a sign that the relationship is winding down.’ This could mean that your partner is trading in ‘date nights’ for a ‘guy’s night out’ or if your partner is constantly going out with her friends and co-workers rather than spending time with you.
2. You don’t enjoy talking to them anymore. This one might be a little obvious but if you find yourself constantly wanting to talk to someone else rather than your partner then that might be a sign that you no longer like that person. Nicole McCance says that people crave love and connection and even though you may not feel that in your current relationship, they still long for that in some form or another. Nicole explains: ‘you might even find yourself attracted to other people physically and that may surprise you. But that’s a warning sign that something’s missing from your current relationship.’
1. Your “love” gets replaced. And finally, your love gets replaced by something else that you didn’t even realize. Some couples might not even notice that they are not in love anymore because they have small kids who get so much love from them. This void is filled by kids, and this is why so many marriages fall apart when children grow up. If you are married and have not taken the time to acknowledge your partner and instead focus all your attention on your kids, you should try focusing on showing your partner more love. If you don’t really care to, you probably aren’t in love anymore.

21 Amazing Home Cleaning Hacks
Cleaning hacks for your home that are truly amazing and will help keep your home extremely clean. We’ve all been to that one house that looks like it came straight out of a magazine.You get an invitation to visit a friend’s home and the minute you walk through the door your eyes are met with organization paradise! Well, that’s because these types of people have amazing habits when it comes to keeping their homes clean!
#HomeCleaning #DIY #CleaningHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
21) Everything Should Have its Place: A clean and organized home is a happy home. If you find that your living spaces, whether it be your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, or office are getting too cluttered, a great way to reduce that clutter is to designate a space for each and every item. If there isn’t room for it, ask yourself “how badly do I need this?” … chances are you’ll have no problem tossing it or donating it to charity!
20) Utilize Your Dishwasher: A dishwasher can be used to wash a great deal more than just your dishes. Take your air vent grates for example, or perhaps an old floor mat? The dishwasher creates great sanitizing temperatures, that clean bacteria, and grime from virtually any surface. It’s especially great for children’s toys! However, always check your product’s manual before putting foreign objects not intended for the dishwasher in it.
19) Use A Sock To Clean Window Blinds: A sock is a fantastic way to catch all that dust and soot buildup that has been accumulating on your window blinds! It’s relatively malleable so it will fit your hand quite nicely. Use it to even clean hard to reach areas like corners, and under the sofa.
18) Lint Rollers Rock: A lint roller really is your best friend. Not only are these handy little tools amazing for pulling unwanted lint and fibers off of your jacket, it’s also a fantastic way to clean that stubborn collection of dust off of your lampshades. Can you think of any other clever uses for a lint roller?
17) Clean Your Kitchen Knife Holders: Believe it or not, those little kitchen knife holders can contain a lot of crumbs, debris, and residue if not cleaned out regularly. To do this, you’ll need to purchase a can of air from any major retail department store. But to save money, a high powered hair dryer with a nose attachment will do as well!
Know about any of these cleaning hacks yet? Keep watching for some even more amazing cleaning hacks!
16) Wash Your Shower Curtains: You wouldn’t believe how many people’s homes have a great deal of soap scum and residue on their shower curtains. Most curtains are easily detachable and machine washable. Can you remember the last time you washed your shower curtain? If it’s beyond mending in terms of build-up, perhaps it’s time to purchase a new shower curtain altogether!
.
15) Toilet Paper Rolls Make Great Vacuum Attachments: Do you have a hard to reach place that no vacuum attachment can seem to reach? Grab yourself an old paper towel roll or toilet paper roll. You can shape it into any crevice, especially those hard to reach windows and door cracks.
14) Turn On Your AC While Dusting: Turning on your air conditioning unit (If you have a small portable one rather than central air) is a great way to get air flow going while you dust your shelves. The AC will suck up the air in your home and push it out the window. However, if you intend to clean out your AC, turning it off is a more appropriate solution.
13) Use Baskets And Trays To Organize Clutter: A great way to eliminate things floating around your kitchen counter is to designate a basket or tray for one corner of your kitchen. If what you seek cannot fit in this tray, then into the cupboard it goes! There’s no need to have absolutely everything out all the time. Only the essentials!
12) Duct Tape + Paint Roller: Duct Tape wrapped neatly around an old paint roller is a fantastic way to collect and remove any unwanted pet fur. This is especially useful on fabrics such as velvet, or corduroy, where pet hair is really tricky to get out. You can also use this to get rid of stuck-on dust bunnies on the underside of your couches or bed frame.
11) Tape Your Pet Bowls Down: Tired of your messy cat or dog spilling their food everywhere? A great way to prevent this is to tape the bowl directly to the ground. This will also help your animal properly consume their meal without having their bowl slide all over the place!

6 Amazing Facts About The Human Body You Didn't Know
6 amazing facts about the human body that you didn't know. Did you know that it’s possible for a human being to live without a stomach? There are many procedures and transplants that remove certain organs from our body and still allow us to live.
#BodyFacts #AmazingFacts #HumanBody
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
6. Epidermis: The skin is the largest organ, and protects a person's body from infection, heat, cold, and injury. It also stores water, vitamins and fat. A person's skin is made up of 3 layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Our epidermis is the upper or outer layer of the two main cells that make up the skin. Did you know that it regenerates every 2-4 weeks?
In a full year, we lose about 0.7 kg of dead skin. In fact, most of the dust in your home is very likely to be dead skin. This is because our skin loses roughly 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every minute. This is why dermatologists recommend exfoliating a few times a week.
5. Your Stomach: The stomach is the most powerful organ in the body, so it’s no surprise that it has the ability to dissolve even the strongest of materials. Believe it or not, the acid in our stomachs is so strong that it has the ability to dissolve metal! Our stomachs have a concentration of hydrochloric acid of 0.5 percent, or 5,000 parts per million. That’s what makes it strong enough to dissolve metal.
And did you know that it’s possible for a human being to live without a stomach? There are many procedures and transplants that remove certain organs from our body and still allow us to live. So it’s no surprise that you could live without a stomach, 75% of your liver, one kidney, a spleen, 80% of our intestines, and any other organ in the groin area. Here’s another fun fact - and it’s about the small intestine. Don’t let the name fool you, our small intestine is actually quite large. In fact, it is as long as four people’s height.
4. The Eyes: People who have albinism often have violet or red eyes. Because these people lack pigment in their iris, light can bounce off the back of their eye and then exit, resulting in very rare eye colors.
And did you know that as we get older, our eyes have the ability to change color? This happens to 10 to 15 percent of the Caucasian population. However, if you’re an adult and your eye color changes dramatically, or if one eye changes color, you need to see a doctor. This can be a warning sign of certain diseases. Another thing you may be surprised to find out is the fact that the only part of the body that has zero blood supply is the cornea. The cornea is the transparent part of a human's eye. It covers the pupil, iris, and anterior chamber. The oxygen it receives comes from the air, not blood from the body.
3. Heat: Our bodies need to maintain a hot temperature in order for the blood to flow through our body properly. In fact, our bodies produce enough body heat in 30 minutes to boil half a gallon of water. And speaking of heat, you might be surprised to find out how much the human body sweats! If you’re a healthy individual then you should not be disgusted when you sweat, but be relieved. The average healthy person can produce 4 gallons of sweat per day.
2. Your body is stronger than you think: As humans, we complain when we’re hungry and we complain when we are tired. But if you had to choose to either sleep to live, or eat to live, which one would you choose? Well, we can live for three weeks without food, but after 11 days of no sleep, our body will begin to shut down. Our bodies are a lot stronger than we give them credit for!
Consider our bones, for example. Our bones keep us upright, they keep us moving and provide stability. If they weren’t strong, life would be a mess. Did you know that the bones on the average person can withstand 16,000 people standing on them?
Speaking of strength, let’s talk about human hair. Our hair is extremely strong. Pulling it out hurts, and for some people, it takes almost a lifetime for it to fall out. But did you know that the human hair has the ability to hold the weight of two elephants?
1. The Human Brain: If you’ve lived for 100 years, you can bet that there is a lot of information that has been stored up there in your brain. The human brain storage capacity works out to roughly 2.5 petabytes. That is enough storage to keep over 4,000 years of mp3 files running.

People Who Like To Be Alone Have These 11 Unique Personality Traits
The unique personality traits of people who prefer to be alone.
#PersonalityTraits #Personality #People
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
11. Increased Emotional Strength – According to Heathline, People who like to be alone are able to better accept, understand and identify their emotions because they spend more time observing and evaluating their own thoughts and feelings. Because they’ve taken this extra time to understand their emotions, they have a better sense of how to deal with and manage them.
10. Naturally Empathetic – Healthline states that people who prefer to be alone are more in touch with the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of others around them, making them more empathetic. This awareness of others emotions as well as their own allows them to not only empathize but show more compassion for those around them.
9. A Strong Moral Compass – Another benefit to people who prefer to spend time alone is they often have a better understanding of what they consider right and wrong. Because they’ve taken the time to analyze and determine their perspectives and moral beliefs, their moral compass is more developed than those affected and shaped by the opinions of others. This definitive moral compass also makes it easier for them to make decisions and be satisfied with the decisions they make.
8. They Are Open Minded – Even though some people would assume introverts are more likely to be close-minded because they’re not as affected or exposed to the opinions of others, many people who prefer solitude are actually very open to new experiences and different perspectives. People who enjoy spending time alone don’t automatically have a mind closed off to the ways of the world around them; they just choose to gather a better understanding of the world in different ways that suit their personality.
7. They Don’t Need Peer Acceptance – Considering modern society is so influenced by the internet and social media, feeling like we’ve gained the respect of our peers can become an overwhelming need we’ll do almost anything to satisfy. Popularity and acceptance have become one of the most pressing concepts we associate with success, and this can be a harmful measure of success to live by (particularly for our mental health).
6. They Can Admit Their Flaws – People who prefer to be alone are more likely to be comfortable admitting their flaws and are more in-tune and okay with the fact that they’re imperfect beings. This goes back to the sense of self they gain from being comfortable with themselves and with being alone. Being able to own up to our flaws and faults is an important step towards positive personal growth.
5. They Prefer the Company of Other Intellectual People – Being comfortable with being alone allows many introverts to be more selective about who they choose to spend their time with. Because they don’t feel a constant or incessant need to be around many people, they value their time and can be more selective of how they choose to spend it. This is because they know that with or without the company of others, they’d be fine either way.
4. They Value Their Time – According to Healthline, the reason people who enjoy being alone are more selective with the company they choose is that they value their time. People who prefer to spend time on their own understand the true value of time, an asset in our lives that many overlook or overshadow when among others. Not only do they value their own time, but they usually have more respect for the value and time of others.
3. Strong Sense of Intuition – People who prefer to be alone are more in-tune with their gut feelings and they trust them. Since they spend more time getting to know themselves, they are better able to understand, recognize and tap into their intuition and ultimately trust it.
2 .They Are Highly Loyal – Because they are more selective about who they spend their time with, people who prefer to be alone are actually more likely to be loyal to the people they enjoy being around. They still understand the value of friendship, they’re just more selective about who those friends are. But fewer friends also means it’s easier to value and stay loyal to those friends.
1. They Are Independent – They’ve made a more defined line of when to reach out to others for help and when to depend on themselves. This line distinguishes between connecting with others and actual dependence. Learning to face the world on their own, people who enjoy their own company don’t need people as much as they choose to have them around.

10 Reasons You Are Gaining Weight Instead Of Losing Weight
Why are you gaining weight even though you are trying to loss weight?
#WeightLoss #Weight #GainingWeight
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
10. You are Not Eating Breakfast: Many people skip breakfast. You need to try to eat a healthy breakfast. Also try to eat healthy throughout the whole day. When you eat breakfast, you energize your body and feel more alert. You also stay full throughout the day and tend to eat less during your lunch and dinner. When you skip breakfast, your body becomes extremely hungry, and by the time lunch or dinner time roll around, you tend to eat more than you usually would. It’s best to eat breakfast so that you are energized throughout the day and get your metabolism started early.
9. You are Not Getting 7-9 Hours of Sleep. When you don’t sleep enough you are increasing a weight-gaining hormone called cortisol. Too much sleep, and you are still increasing your body mass. Experts recommend 7-9 hours of sleep for a healthy balance.
8. You are Not Going Outdoors: Once you wake up, open the curtains. Light helps ignite your body’s metabolism so don’t stay in the dark for too long. At least 20-30 minutes of outdoor sunlight is enough to affect your body mass.
7. You are Not Keeping A Clean and Comfy Bedroom: Keeping your bedroom clean and comfortable keeps environmental toxins out and can impact the quality of your sleep. Remember it’s not only the quantity, but also the quality. Try to start a daily habit of cleaning your room every morning or every night. Once you make it a habit, you will wonder why you don't always do it. A clean, stress free room and home will help you sleep better and increase your overall happiness when you realize that you don’t have to stress out about cleaning so much.
6. You are Not Measuring Your Weight Every Day: Weigh yourself every day so if your plan is not working, you can adjust it. Weighing yourself will also keep you motivated. Do this in the morning. That’s when the body has less water weight so the measurement is more precise.
Try not to obsess about it too much, and keep in mind that depending on how much water you are retaining, you will notice that your weight fluctuates a few pounds every few days. This is perfectly normal, and is nothing to panic about. If you had a carb heavy dinner the night before and are shocked to see the scale jump up five pounds the next morning, don’t freak out. You didn't just gain 5 pounds overnight - all that weight is merely water weight, and will go down within a few days.
5. You Are Not Leaving Any Room in Your Stomach: Our parents taught us to eat everything in our plate. You should not always eat until you are full. The Japanese use a trick where they spit their meal into 10 segments, but only eat 8. If this trick doesn’t work, use a smaller plate, that way your portion will appear bigger.
4. You Are Not Going for Regular Walks: Are you a couch potato? Resist the pull of your couch or office chair and spend more time on your feet. A couple of extra hours of couch time a day can increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By going out every few days for a brisk 20 to 30 minute walk, you can slowly start to introduce a form of exercise to your life and also burn calories.
And instead of taking the elevator at work or driving to the corner store, consider taking the stairs or walking to the store. You can also consider taking your bike, too! These are great alternatives which can help you burn calories. This can lead to eventual weight loss!
3. You Are Not Avoiding Zero Calorie Soda: Do you think zero calorie soda will keep you slim? Wrong. Zero calorie sodas are filled with synthetic estrogen which affects your thyroid gland, leading to weight gain, according to Red River Health and Wellness.
2. You Are Not Going to Bed: When you ignore your bedtime you’re contributing to the factors that cause anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular disease. Resist the temptation to be a night owl and catch some zzz's. As mentioned earlier in this video, you should also avoid the kitchen at this time.
1. You Are Not Sleeping with the Lights Off: Sleeping with the lights on lowers the quality of sleep. And as we know, sleep is extremely important because it helps our bodies rest and recover. Sleeping with electronics or lights on can interrupt your sleep and affect the quality of your sleep, so it’s best to shut everything off at least half an hour before you go to bed.

Best Sleeping Positions For Various Health Problems
Certain sleep positions can help your health problems. There are some sleeping positions that can be more beneficial than others. Sleeping positions can have an impact on a number of different aspects of health. Things like blood pressure, sinus infections, and more can all be affected by how you are sleeping.
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
10. Heartburn. For those suffering from heartburn, falling asleep isn’t easy. Heartburn can keep you up at night and even have you tossing and turning, resulting in a poor quality of sleep. The wrong sleeping position can result in acid slipping into the esophagus, which can be attributed to indigestion and insomnia. Heartburn can cause discomfort and has also even been identified as a risk factor for certain sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
9. Neck pain. How you are sleeping at night could be part of the problem when it comes to neck pain. It’s important to have a proper pillow that conforms to the shape of the neck, but there are also ways to sleep that can minimize risk.
8. Back pain. Pain in any area of the back can make getting a good night sleep a challenge, but the right sleeping position can help alleviate the discomfort. According to Medical News Today, if you sleep on your back, you can relieve pain by putting a pillow underneath your knees to help your spine. If you sleep on your stomach, place a pillow under your lower abdomen for the same effect. If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees and raise your legs up towards your chest.
7. Shoulder pain. Pain in the shoulders is a common problem and can be very disruptive when trying to fall asleep. Sleeping on the side that doesn’t cause you pain might seem like the natural choice, but there’s more you can do. Try hugging a pillow to alleviate pain or if you sleep on your back, place a small pillow underneath the injured shoulder.
6. Headaches. Bad sleeping positions can be a frequent cause of headaches, mainly due to people twisting their necks while sleeping. The best sleeping position to avoid headaches is to sleep either on your back or on your side but with enough pillows around your head that it doesn’t move throughout the night.
5. Digestion Issues. Sleep can easily be interrupted when plagued by digestion issues, but sleeping on the left side can help you get some shut-eye, says Medical News Today. Sleeping on the left side is effective for those suffering from digestive issues because the stomach is positioned on the left side. This allows gravity to boost the digestive process so you can sleep soundly.
4. Sinus issues. Sleeping in the wrong position while battling sinus issues can result in your nasal passage clogging up and disrupting your slumber.
For a better sleep, make sure to prop up your head. It’s important to elevate your head to a position where it’s above your heart so the blood flow to the nose is decreased. According to Everyday Health, sleeping flat on your back allows for mucus buildup in your sinuses. This can clog your nasal passages and disrupt the quality of your slepe.
3. PMS Pain. PMS discomfort can keep you up when you’re trying to get a good night sleep, however, the fetal position can help reduce stomach cramping. Dr Lisa Lindley, MD, states that sleeping in the fetal position helps to take the pressure off of your abdominal muscles, allowing the skeletal muscles which are around a woman's abdomen to relax. Sleeping in the fetal position can also help prevent leakage.
2 High Blood Pressure. According to a report by the Ehime University School of Medicine, sleeping positions can affect blood pressure, which makes it important to practice the right one.
If you have high blood pressure, try sleeping on the left side. To lower your blood pressure, sleeping face down can be naturally effective as well. Sleep specialist Christopher Winter states that the best position to sleep for those who have high blood pressure is on the left side. This is because sleeping on the left side can help relieve pressure that is put on blood vessels that pump blood to the heart. These blood vessels are located on the right side of a person's body and can become compressed when sleeping on the right side. This slows down circulation.
1. Hip Pain. Discomfort in the hip area can make it hard to find a comfortable position to doze off in. It’s important to find a position that reduces any stress on the hips or back, which is why it’s recommended to avoid sleeping face down.

3. Change your loofah every 3 weeks. When you use a loofah to scrub off the dead skin cells on your skin, these cells become lodged in the loofah, which makes it a perfect place for bacteria to grow, according to dermatologist Melissa Piliang, MD. Loofahs also contain all sorts of fungal organisms that can actually lead to some pretty bad skin infections, Dr Piliang says. She recommends cleaning your loofah weekly and replacing it every month.
2. Work top to bottom: According to Dr. Lauren Ploch, a board-certified dermatologist with the American Academy of Dermatology, you should focus on showering top to bottom to let the soap work its way down. And while it's important to clean your arms and legs, you should focus on cleaning the dirtiest areas like your feet, underarms, and groin. Seems like common sense, right? You'd be surprised!
1. Shave last. According to Dr. Jessica Krant, another board-certified dermatologist with the American Academy of Dermatology, your hair needs to soften before shaving. Shave at the end of a short shower so that your hair is damp but not too swollen from the heat. This can cause your hair to swell, leading to ingrowns.

10 Airport Tricks That You Should Know
These airport tricks are very useful, but most people don't know about them.
#Airport #TravelTips #LifeHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
10. Use Travel Kits/Cubes To Conserve Space In Your Luggage: Packing is definitely a tricky part of the travel experience and should be prioritized in advance. You don’t want to be stuck last minute at home removing things from your luggage, or even worse, at the airport.
9. Consider Late Night Flights For Easier Travel Experiences. During late night flights, there are usually fewer passengers and fewer travelers with kids. We’ve all had experiences with babies and children crying or making noise that kept us from resting on flights. Because fewer people travel on late night flits, your wait-time in lines are usually much faster.
8. Choose Your Seat Ahead Of Time On Your Airline’s Website. Your airline’s website will always include a seating map, and though it may come at an extra cost to book in advance, it would be wise if you require special seating or have a certain preference. Emergency exit seats will have more leg space, as well as the seats at the very front or end of the aircraft. And the back of the airplane tends to have the seemingly endless line for the washroom if that is something that can potentially bother you.
7. Prepare For Jet-Lag In Advance. Depending on where you’re flying to, there may or may not be a time zone difference. However, for many destinations, jet lag is something that many travelers have suffered from, and it’s best to be prepared ahead of time for this. Check the local time of your destination to try to adjust your schedule accordingly before departing. It can be a tough time if you arrive in another time zone with little sleep, and are forced to navigate your way around.
6. Free Wi-Fi Can Be Found Anywhere At The Airport. In this day and age, most people try to connect to Wi-Fi in almost any building that they enter. Luckily for travelers, airports have terminal-wide Wi-Fi that you can enjoy before departure. This can help you pass the time as you wait to board your flight, and can be found almost anywhere at your local airport. Whether you want to browse social media or get work done on your laptop, you can enjoy the complimentary Wi-Fi and plug in until you leave.
5. Fly With A Pet If You’re Afraid Of Flying Alone. If you’re traveling alone for the first time, or have a fear of flying, you may be allowed to travel with your pet, if you have one. You can get special permission from your psychologist if you require your pet for support, and some European or American airlines will allow you this luxury.
4. Buy A Pass To The Lounge Zone If Spending Excess Time At The Airport. Lounge zones are available at most airports for travelers and aren’t very expensive either. There, you will find a less crowded waiting area, food and drink spots, internet connection, and resting spots with couches. Sometimes, you’ll even get a shower area and private rooms to sleep in, which are all included in your fee.
3. Check The “Lost And Found” For Free Headphones If You Forgot Yours. For many travelers, earphones and headphones are important because they allow them to plug into their chosen entertainment during their journey. In the unfortunate case that you forgot yours, you may be in luck. People lose things all the time at the airport, and after three months of not being claimed, cheap items can be given to you for free at the discretion of employees.
2. Use Airport Assistance For Young Travelers, Disabled, And Elderly. Depending on the airplane you’ve chosen, there is airport assistance available for those in need. Whether it is for a young traveler flying alone for the first time, or a senior who requires boarding assistance, airports and airlines work to ensure that you are given the travel assistance you need.
1. Use A GPS-Tracker To Locate Your Luggage. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare: losing your luggage at the airport once you reach your destination, or even misplacing your luggage before check in. Fortunately for modern-day travel, there are GPS-tracker apps that can be paired with luggage. You can even have a keychain attached to your luggage that has a built-in GPS, which will allow you to track your luggage if it gets misplaced or lost. This can be quite the obstacle to face during your travels, and it’s important to try and prevent it at any cost.

6 Best Exercises To Lose Arm Fat
Here are the best exercises to lose arm fat. Do you have lots of arm fat that you can’t seem to get rid of? Have no fear, this video will help you get rid of that pesky arm fat once and for all and maybe even gain some muscle while you’re at it!
We can judge our physical appearance in many ways, and the amount of arm fat we have is one of them. Arm fat is caused by excess fat traveling to the arm area, and unlike other areas of the body that accumulate fat, burning the excess fat in the arm can be quite difficult, especially if there is very little muscle. Speaking of muscle, can you guess what the world record is for most weight ever lifted through a bench press? Stick around until the end of the video to find out. We’ll also show you how to perform the perfect bench press!
Before we begin this video on the best exercises to lose arm fat, we should let you know that in order to lose fat (regardless of where the fat is on your body), you have to be at a calorie deficit. If you are eating more calories than you are burning, you will not lose fat. It is impossible to lose fat if you are not on that deficit! This is why, if you want to lose fat, you have to change your diet and incorporate more healthy eating. A good diet combined with a good exercise program can help you lose fat and tone out your muscles. And once you lose that fat, you can then focus on growing those muscles! To lose one pound of fat, you have to burn 3500 calories more than you are eating. If you are on a calorie deficit of, say, 500 calories a day, you will lose one pound a week. This is not just a theory, it's actually a law of physics, says John P. Hussman, Ph.D.

12 Simple Tips To Look Luxurious Without The Cost
Here are easy to follow tips to look luxurious without the cost.
#Style #Fashion #StyleTips
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
1. A Handbag: A handbag adds a lot to your entire look, believe it or not. Your clothes don’t have to look like you bought them at the most expensive store, but a handbag can make any outfit look amazing. According to Reader’s Digest, a quality handbag is worth a little more of an investment. Get one with a simple design in a neutral color.
2. Fragrance: Wearing a fragrance with any outfit makes you look a little more luxurious. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a perfume. Simply find a scent that you love and apply it to your skin. According to Into The Gloss, you should never apply the perfume to your clothing or hair…just directly to your skin.
3. Jewelry: According to WhoWhatWear.com, spending a ton of money on jewelry is not necessary to make you look more glamorous. In fact, inexpensive jewelry does the trick (if styled thoughtfully, of course). The site advises to opt for clear crystals over plastic gemstones and choose darker metals over excessively shiny ones.
4. A Jacket: You can be wearing ripped cloth, and if you have a cute jacket on top of it, it instantly becomes an outfit. Cosmopolitan notes that you need a quality jacket that will last you for a while and you can pair with any outfit. Personally, an oversized jean jacket does it for more people! It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg either. Just make sure that you take good care of your jacket. A good jacket can last you years on end, and is a great way to spice up any outfit. Nice jackets look classy, sleek, stylish and elegant. So the next time you’re out shopping for a new jacket, keep all these things in mind.
5. Bra and panty lines: Cosmopolitan also mentions that visible bra and panty lines are a huge no-no when it comes to looking luxurious. Unfortunately, a lot of clothes on the cheaper side tend to be flimsy and poorly-fitted. Luckily, if you have a well-fitted bra and panties, people won’t be able to tell the difference between an expensive outfit and a lower-priced one!
6. Black and white: If you are into fashion at all, you probably know that you can never go wrong wearing black. Doesn’t matter if you paid 20 bucks for the outfit or 200 bucks for the outfit. Wearing earthy colors like browns often makes your outfit look dingy and sad. But black and white make your outfit look like a million bucks!
7. Attention to detail: Paying attention to the detail of your clothes is key. It costs nothing to sew up a loose thread or a missing button. According to Reader’s Digest, you should never wear an item of clothing with a stain, hole or a missing button. That naturally comes with cheaper clothes, but it takes two seconds to fix up!
8. Heels: Wearing pointy heels makes you look classy, professional and expensive. Whowhatwhere.com notes that the beauty of it is that you don’t have to get yourself the most expensive shoes. You can find pointy heeled shoes on a reasonable budget. They are pretty comfortable on your feet as well!
9. Hair: An article written in the Huffington Post mentions that having incredible hair makes any outfit look put together, regardless how much you paid for it. That doesn’t mean you have to have long, wavy hair. You can tie your hair back in a nice tight bun and still look like a million bucks.
10. A steamer: Huffington Post also notes that using a steamer over an iron goes a long way toward making your clothes look perfect. Wrinkled anything makes you look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. A steamer smoothes out your clothes to perfection. Definitely worth purchasing one, and it’s not expensive!
11. Shoes: According to Reader’s Digest, if you want to look extra polished, matching your shoes to your handbag goes a long way. It’s pointless to drop a ton of money on shoes because they get ruined anyway. But making them match with your handbag makes you look a bit more luxurious. Also, it’s important to keep your shoes in tip-top shape.
12. The tucked in look: The final tip that I’m sure a lot of us who are into fashion have noticed is the tucked in look. Reader’s Digest notes that a tucked-in shirt with either a skirt or trousers goes a long way. It makes you look classy, stylish and polished. The top doesn’t have to be tightly fitted, and a more monochrome look in black, white or navy goes a long way.

How Narcissists Really Think
How a narcissist really thinks, and how you should deal with narcissistic people.
#Narcissist #Narcissism #MentalHealth
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
8. They Need to Feel Important: Everyone wants to feel needed in life, it can give us a sense of purpose. However, a narcissist will seek importance without working for it. It’s different than someone who is confident but does not feel the need to brag. According to Psychology Today, narcissistic people will want to be recognized as superior to others without even earning it. In an intimate relationship, this can be very harmful, especially when arguments and debates arise. For example, John believes that he is smarter than his wife and kids. So no matter what they accomplish, John will always remind them that they can never live up to his standards.
7. Consumed With Success: To get ahead in life, you need to have a certain degree of success. Sometimes we seek help from others that may be able to help us achieve that success. We don’t do it for praise or to brag that we’re on top, we seek help so we can move forward. Psychology Today states that a narcissist will only help if it benefits them. They are obsessed with being the best at everything, and they won’t help you if they feel that you are going to try and steal their spotlight. Sometimes this even means that they will sabotage others or make others look bad just to make themselves look better. This can be done in the workplace, at home, and many other types of settings.
6. Only Relates to “Special People”: Narcissistic people do not value you for who you are, but only on what you do. For example, a parent that is looking for a therapist for his/her children will only focus on the academic background and accomplishments of the individual. They will ignore the abilities and actual experience that the therapist has to offer.
5. Need to Be Admired: Because a narcissist contains no emotions, they need to constantly be reminded of how important they are. They seek compliments and admiration, and this can be harmful to others because it can become exhausting. You can deliver a compliment to them, but two minutes later they will bring up another accomplishment and expect praise once again. They need attention on them at all times, and if they are not getting the attention or admiration they need and want, they will result in some pretty drastic measures to get it. Even at the cost of a loved one or friend!
4. They Need to Come First: Dealing with entitlement when it comes to a narcissist can be difficult because you have to leave out the needs of everyone else around you. They think that they are above everyone so that entitles them to special treatment. The second you decide not to deliver that treatment is when they may start plotting to take you down. This may include harsh comments about you and possibly show their lack of appreciation for you. Narcissists are under the impression that no one is better than them, and will feel threatened if they feel that someone is getting better treatment than them. This usually results in a narcissist trying to sabotage another person to make them look bad or inferior.
3. Sacrifice Others for Their Own Success: Other people do not matter to a narcissist; this is why it makes it so easy to manipulate people into doing things for them. At the end of the day, it’s all about what you can do for them. For example, Stephanie only calls Melissa a Therapist when she needs help during an emotional crisis.
2. They Lack Empathy: If you lack empathy, how can you ever develop love in a relationship or bond with anyone? You can spot this with a narcissist because they always leave a pattern. They may seem empathetic, but the second things do not go their way, they will quickly turn on you. Or you may notice that one of your friends never seems to understand your feelings, and they always try to make the uncomfortable conversations about themselves. If you figure out that you are in an intimate relationship with a narcissist, it would be best to leave because they are usually incapable of love.
1. Envious of Others: Aside from always wanting to be the best, narcissists often try to take others down because they are envious of what they have or accomplished. It can be very exhausting to try and keep up with your friends’ accomplishments, but a narcissist will not rest until they have accomplished it or made the person feel beneath them. They could go as far as spreading rumors that could tarnish your reputation.

10 Good Habits You Must Adopt ASAP
Here are the good habits you must adopt and bad habits to quit now. Good habits help us live healthy, positive and successful lives. Sometimes it’s easier for us to take the easy route in life, but in all reality, we should all be doing our best to enhance our lives, bodies, and minds.
#BadHabits #GoodHabits #Habits
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
1. Smile! This may not be something you will always want to do, particularly in times of high stress, but studies say that smiling when you’re stressed can actually send messages to your mind which change your neurochemistry. These changes in your neurochemistry can have a positive effect on your health and your happiness.
2. Write a list of what you are grateful for: Try to spend twenty to thirty minutes every day making a list of everything that you are grateful for in your life. This will help you realize that you actually have a lot to be thankful for, and will give you a more positive perspective about your life.
3. Wake up early! If you’re a night owl or not so much of a morning person this may not be easy for you, but give it a try anyway. You’ll be surprised by how much extra time you’ll have to do things during the day, and will feel a sense of accomplishment when you finish everything early and still realize you have the whole day ahead of you. For example, if you work out in the morning when you are used to working out at night, you’ll have all the time you usually spend working out at night to do whatever you please!
If you wake up early, you won’t be interrupted if you’re doing anything important as you start off your day. You’ll have a fresh start to the day and you’ll also find that you’ll be able to get more things done, leaving more time for things later in the day.
4. Exercising and eating right: Exercise and a healthy diet are vital to our bodies and can help the longevity of our lives. Exercising for as little as 20 minutes a day can have a positive impact on your life. This is because exercising releases endorphins in our brains, which make us feel good, happier, and more positive!
Find an exercise regimen that works for you and turn it into a habit. Not only will it improve your health and your body, but it will also improve your mind and will give you more confidence.
5. Save money: Saving money is not easy, especially when you have bills to pay while trying to maintain a social life at the same time. One great habit is saving at least 20% of your paycheck every time you get paid. Trust me, you will thank me in the long run!
6. Stay organized: An organized life is an easier one. When you’re feeling stressed or have a lot to do, being unorganized can sometimes make things worse. So try to make organization a habit in your life. Being an organized environment can help clear your mind and stabilize your thoughts, so give it a shot!
Take a few minutes out of your day to clean up any clutter or garbage around your house or work area. Also, try to focus on organizing your mind and your thoughts.
7. Conquer your fears: Are you afraid of doing anything? Maybe talking to your boss about a promotion, or even going for a driver’s license test that you’ve been too scared to fail for months?
Try to do at least one thing you’re afraid of every day. It doesn’t have to be a huge thing, but it can be a small thing which will overall improve your life. If you fail, you fail. Use it as a tool to help you succeed the next time.
8. Set goals for yourself! These goals can be big goals or even small goals, as long as they are realistic.Set up steps to achieve these goals and try your best to accomplish them every day. You will feel amazing after achieving each goal, and it will only motivate you to set and achieve more!
9. Sleep: Make sure you’re getting enough sleep! Try to get at least 7 hours a night. You might not be able to achieve this every single night, but try to clock in those hours of sleep on most nights. Sleep helps us rest, recover, rejuvenate, and refresh our minds. Lack of sleep affects our mood, our mind, and our health, so make sure you’re getting enough sleep!
10. Take care of your body and your personal hygiene. This may seem like common sense, but taking care of your health, especially your body, will drastically improve your life. Taking care of your body will make you feel better about yourself and also enhance your overall appearance, so get to it!

14 Fast Food Items You Should Never Order
Fast food items to never ever order if you're trying to eat a healthy diet.
#Nutrition #EatingHealthy #FastFood
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
14. Lunch Meats. You might opt for a sub sandwich as a healthier fast food alternative to a burger, but that’s not always the case. Due to how processed lunch meats are, the high levels of sodium can cause high blood pressure, and The American Institute for Cancer Research warns that they can increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
13. Pre-Dressed Salads. While salads are generally the healthier of options when it comes to fast food, many places over-dress their salads to improve the taste. It’s recommended to get dressing on the side and to not use an entire packet. There can be a surprising amount of calories, sugar, and fat in a pre-made dressing, which can make this meal option a lot less healthy.
12. Coleslaw.
When it comes to ordering sides for your meal, coleslaw might seem like a fairly safe bet. However, this is one side you should really avoid. Considering coleslaw is made with a ton of mayonnaise, the calorie count can parallel that of an entire meal so don’t be fooled by the sight of that cabbage.
11. Condiments.There are some fast food items where condiments are a match made in heaven, but you should take into consideration that each packet has more sugar and salt than you may realize. It’s always best to order meals plain so that you can be in control of the number of condiments being added.
10. Breakfast Plates. Many fast food restaurants that offer a breakfast menu will have some sort of plate that includes all of the favorites from eggs to hash browns. The problem with these plates is that usually everything on them is cooked with a lot of butter, which can result in a fat intake that is more than the recommended amount per day.
9. Value Meals. Many fast food restaurants offer value meals that are tempting for their price, but most aren’t worth the high-calorie count and amount of fat.
8. Ice. It’s only natural to want to fill your cup with ice before dispensing your fountain drink selection, but you might want to reconsider hitting that ice button. According to fast food employees on Reddit, ice machines are rarely cleaned and many can have mold lurking within.
7. Chili.
A warm bowl of chili can be awfully tempting but you should be cautious about where you’re ordering it. There are some fast food restaurants that just use old meat and chop it into pieces to compose their chili, which makes this hearty dish a lot less tempting.
6. Fish Patties.
Unless the fast food place you’re going to specializes in fish, you should probably refrain from ordering anything fish-related. Many fast food employees have revealed that fish patties tend to get left out a lot longer than they should be.
5. Flavored Coffee Drinks.
Flavored brews may be tasty but they can be hiding a lot more sugar than you would think to put in your own drink. If you’re concerned about your sugar intake, make sure to order your drinks plain and with skim or low-fat milk. Flavored coffee drinks tend to be high in sugar and low in nutrients.
4. Eggs. It’s hard to find a breakfast menu item that doesn’t contain eggs, but you should be a little wary when ordering them. Fast food restaurants rarely use fresh eggs and instead will microwave them or they will have a lot of preservatives to maintain their color, texture, and taste.
3. Veggie Burgers. Unless you’re at a vegetarian establishment, you probably should avoid the veggie burger if you don’t eat meat. More often than not, veggie burgers end up being cooked on the same grill they use for meat. While you can try and request that they clean the grill, most places won’t have the time to do that in between orders.
2. Unique Menu Items. Fast food restaurants try to cater to a variety of tastes, but there are some items that are usually undeniably niche. Former employees confessed on Reddit that you shouldn’t order something on the menu if you can’t find at least one or two other items that the ingredients could be used in. Items that aren’t ordered frequently are much more likely to be on the lesser side of fresh.
1. Tuna Sandwiches. Thinking about ordering a tuna sandwich? You might want to think again. Many fast food restaurants that offer tuna sandwiches use a lot more mayonnaise than tuna. This may make the sandwich tasty but there are probably a lot more calories hiding in there than you realize.

9 Easy Ways To Tell If A Product Is Real Or Fake
Here are the tips to help you recognize fake gadgets. Cell phones have come a long way since they were first created. And because technology has evolved so much, people have learned how to make fake gadgets to make money off of unsuspecting people. But have no fear, this video will show you how to spot them so that you don’t get ripped off!

Summary:
1. Packaging: One thing you may not pay much attention to is the packaging of your products. If you’re ordering online, it’s important to pay attention to the details and check for any signs of neglect. The real product will be in pristine condition without any flaws. If you notice that your product is packaged in less than stellar material, or the material itself is falling apart, it’s a major red flag.
Fonts on the back of the product are also something to look out for. Look for legibility, and consistency. You should also double check to make sure nothing is loose or tampered with.
Fake products may be stored in boxes that appear very much like the original. One thing to check for is text written in a language that is foreign to the country of purchase. One clue that a product—especially an iPhone—could be fake is if it comes in a plastic casing. iPhones never come this way so it would be a clear sign that this product has been tampered with and isn’t the real deal.
2. User Manual: The user manual is a good way to get proof that the gadget you have is legitimate. It should come written in the language of the country it was purchased in. If it doesn’t, then you could be dealing with a stolen device or a knock-off product. The instruction manual is pretty much your gadget’s ticket to authenticity.
3. Product Material: Top brands are known for their attention to details - and the products are usually smooth and flawless. It’s a good idea to pay attention to things like this when ordering products online or buying second hand.
Ridges and seams can be a sign that your product is not actually brand name. A fake product may have a matte surface compared to the smooth shiny surface of brand name items.
4. Fonts: You may not have realized this, but product names are typed in very specific font styles and colors. If anything is different about the brand name or logo, you might be dealing with a fake. Small changes like coloring and sizing should not be ignored. The real product would never alter its appearance without announcing a design change, so if there is something different you are probably being ripped off.
5. Chargers: Certain details like seams on the plastic and a smoother finish distinguish the original from the fake.
Make sure to double check the writing on the charger as well. For instance, if the logo is skewed and there are additional symbols that are not included on the original packaging of that specific type of product, it’s probably a fake. These things may be hard to notice if you don’t have the original to compare it to, but you should also check where the product was made. That’s why Google can be your friend in this case! There are all sorts of forums, message boards and even social media pages that you can use as resources to help you spot a fake product from a real one.
6. Cords: Unless it has been announced or addressed by the official company, there won’t be any changes made to the style or design of the charging outlets. It’s important to take note of the size and color that the brand you are after uses.
7. Cuts: When comparing iPhones to the real product, you will be able to see that the cut is slightly different. On the real iPhone, the cut is smooth and seamless, compared to the fake one which has a thick outline.
8. Screen: You might also notice that the camera light is much more visible on the fake phone, and it’s a bit lighter in color. Once the phone is turned on, you may also notice that the response time is slower on a fake phone, and the screen dimmer.

20 Beauty Secrets & Hacks That You Need To Know
According to experts, here are 20 beauty secrets, tips, and hacks, that you should know.
#BeautySecrets #Beauty #BeautyHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
1) Sunscreen: Cosmetics expert Mamie McDonald states that trying to achieve a healthy complexion without sunscreen will not work. Another expert, Dr. Lancer, advises people to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
2) Don’t Over Dry Your Skin: If your skin has inflammation, you do not want to use anti-spot creams. They contain benzoyl peroxide, which will dry the skin, aggravate it and inflame it even more.
3) Always Remember Your Neck: If a woman’s concerned about how old she looks, she might want to take a look at her neck. The skin on the neck is extremely thin. This means women need to take care of it like they do their face.
4) Use An Ice Cube On Your Skin: To avoid a dull complexion, Dr. Ava Shamban, a dermatologist out of Santa Monica, advises using an ice cube. Rubbing it for a few seconds will stimulate circulation and can even help your skin glow. I bet you this was number one of the beauty secrets you don’t know. Bring out those ice cubes!
5) Storing Your Accessories Properly: Most people are told to store their beauty accessories in the bathroom. Dr. Debra Jaliman warns people that this is not the correct way to do it. The humidity makes them expire quicker than the expiry date, she states. An alternative is to store face creams and beauty accessories in the fridge.
6) Clean Everything That Touches Your Skin: Dr. Lancer advises everyone to clean any object that will touch their face. You wouldn’t touch your face with dirty hands, so why would you with other things? Dr. Lancer says you should change pillowcases at least once a week. If you have naturally oily skin, change them every three days.
7) Avoid Using Scrubs and Sponges: Skincare specialist Christie Kidd advises people who are prone to acne to avoid using scrubs and sponges. Another one of the beauty secrets you probably don’t know is that when you use these skin care items, they irritate the skin and cause more inflammation. So for those prone to acne, try using a water-and-aspirin paste on your face.
8) Facial Massages Are Beneficial: For those trying to get rid of the dark circles under the eyes, experts recommend a lymph drainage massage. The massage will stimulate the lymph flow and smooth the skin, and the result is the bags disappearing.
9) Hand Care: One of the beauty secrets you don’t know is hand care. The skin on your hands is just as thin as the skin on your neck and face. If you’re doing household work, try using gloves. Also try to moisturize your hands with natural, organic cream. Your hands touch your face more than anything, so you’ll want them clean.
10) Don’t Go to Bed With Makeup On: Listen up ladies, because most women have probably done this at least a few times in their lives. Women that go to bed with makeup on need to stop now! Sleeping with your makeup on can block your pores and cause inflammation. It’s plain and simple, clean your skin thoroughly before going to bed. Don’t risk aging prematurely! Take those extra few minutes before bed (even if you’ve spent all night dancing and are way too tired to do it) and take off all your makeup. You’ll thank yourself later!
11) Take Your Bra Off Before Bed: Even if you had a late night and you’re exhausted, always take off your bra before bed. If you keep it on, it will cut the blood circulation. It will also cause the skin to become irritated and the skin under the straps will become darkened. You’ll be way more comfortable too!
12) Drink More Water: According to Debbie Strong, senior health editor at Everyday Health, the best thing to do for your skin is to drink more water.
13) Layer Your Eyeliner: Getting your wing perfect is a struggle that most people who wear makeup can relate to. To get that straight edge just right, Ysolt Usigan, beauty and style contributor at Huffington Post recommends lining your eyes with a pencil liner first because it’s easier to get the line straight. Afterward, go over the line with a liquid liner. This will ensure that your wing is sharp and it’ll also increase the staying power.
14) No Powder: After the age of 35, avoid wearing any powder. According to freelance style and beauty editor Ingrid Schmidt, the powder will settle into the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth and will instantly age your skin. Yikes!
