Health & Beauty Tips For A Better Live

The following are what I believe to be the basic five principles of holistic beauty.

• First of all, know that you are so much more than what you see in the mirror. I am reminded of the lyrics to my favorite India Arie song.  “I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations no, I am the soul that lives within.” Your worth is far greater than any hairstyle or hair color.  Beauty is in discovering the authenticity that lies beneath the surface.

• Next, you have to accept and embrace your uniqueness.  Variety is the spice of life.  What a boring world it would be if we all looked alike. Learn to appreciate you.   Study yourself.  Really get to know the unique, beautiful being that you are.  You have a purpose on the planet so unique that only you can fulfill it.  Do you.

• Pursue health.  Your hair, skin, and nails are more than just superficial signs of beauty, they are direct reflection of your overall health.  Beautiful, glowing, skin and hair are signs of a good digestion and metabolism and a healthy diet.  Your skin reflects the quality of your blood.  A healthy diet, one that is suitable for your blood type, is how you create that healthy outer glow.  No matter what your blood type, a healthy diet will be one that is full of fresh and organic fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins and whole grains.

• Be honest with your self and take inventory of your life and make the necessary changes that will bring you into sync and harmony with nature and those around you.  The serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr is a perfect meditation for this step; “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; and the courage to change the things that I can.” Tension and stress wreak havoc on your inner health.  It shows on your face.  Nothing is worth disharmony and the disruption it causes to our inner psyche and physiology.  You can heal your life, but you must first be honest about what it is.  True, authentic beauty comes from a mind and heart that are in harmony.  When you have inner harmony there is emotional confusion, lack of confidence, stress and worry disappear.

Last but not least, beauty is a choice.  Make the choice each and every day to become healthier.   Choose a healthy diet, friends, career, thoughts and lifestyle.  You have the power to transform yourself into the radiantly beautiful woman you are meant to be.  Be good to yourself and expect the same from others.  Look for beauty around and within you.

1. Unbleached disposable nappies.

The Choice website states: As far because dioxins are concerned, they’re a family of organochlorins that includes one of the most toxic chemicals yet made. In the past, dioxin traces were found inside chlorine-bleached white paper and pulp goods, including disposable nappies. But, nowadays nappies are commonly oxygen-bleached (using hydrogen peroxide), which forms no dioxin.
But do we know what consequences hydrogen peroxide will bring? There are wholly unbleached disposable nappies on the market that ensures your baby does not come into contact with any bleach.

2. Never exercise talc on baby.

Why?  Contamination of wounds or body cavities with talc is liable to cause granulomas. Inhalation of talc be able to cause respiratory irritation. Prolonged exposure to talc might produce pneumocomosis. Talc is liable to be heavily contaminated using bacteria including Clostridium tetani, CL welchii and Bacillus anthracis, hence it must be sterilized. Mardindale 31 P1096, 1745, 1407 Organic talcs are commonly made with corn flour, arrowroot and white clay and are perfectly safe and very effective for keeping baby’s skin dry.

3. Massage oils following bathing.

Avoid mineral based oils since they contribute to the drying of the skin when absorbed. Instead exercise accepted and organic oils that continue to soothe and moisturize baby’s skin. Try goods that contain sweet almond oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil and chamomile, rose, lavender and mandarin necessary oils. But remember to always do a test patch first and watch for several redness or irritation. Do not use if this occurs! You just require the tiniest amount of oil to massage into your baby’s skin, less than a teaspoon.

4. Usual bottom wipes.

Homemade bottom wipes be able to be made easily. Cut a roll of strong paper towel (Viva are cool) inside half. Take out the cardboard inner roll. Mix two cups of water using ½ cup sweet almond oil and ½ cup of organic baby wash. Place one half of the roll into a container and pour above ½ of the solution. Store inside container. Or for simply a wiping solution try a cup of brilliant chamomile tea and a teaspoon of honey mixed well. Honey is a normal antiseptic so it is terrific for keeping baby’s bottom germ free and will make simpler heal existing nappy rash.

5. Soap free washing/bathing.

Newborns be able to be lightly and easily wiped down using rose hydrosol. This is distilled water that contains healing and soothing aromatic rose extracts suitable for the most sensitive of skin types and is very economical because you just practice a tiny amount. Older babies ought to be washed with organic baby washes as adult products tend to have harsher ingredients that can irritate baby’s skin. Exercise baby washes sparingly.

6. Washing baby’s clothes and Manchester.

Always wash baby’s clothes and Manchester before with and wash in pure soap flakes or a gentle skin sensitive washing solution. Do not add water softeners or conditioners since these can cause skin irritation. Dissolve the flakes inside a small warm water before adding to the washing cycle. Baby’s clothes and sheets etc do not need to be disinfected, simply dry in the sun.

1. Avoid frosted or shimmery shadows if you have fine lines around your eyes. The shimmer highlights the fine lines rather than masking them. Instead use matte shadows which blend into your skin and camouflage fine lines.2. It wouldn’t be the holidays without a little glitter so add it to your cheeks instead of your eyes. Glimmery highlighters make you look positively luminescent! A pinky-gold powdered version flatters most skin tones and is easy to apply. Brush it on your cheekbones and under your brow bone for subtle radiance.

3. The whole idea is balance. Your face has basically three areas to emphasize: eyes, lips, and cheeks. You never want to be full tilt in all three areas at once.

4. A lip plumper gives your mouth a little extra volume that lasts for a few hours- long enough to get you through the party!

5. After applying your evening lip stick, add a smudge of pretty gloss over top for extra shine.
