NAILCARE

We pay a lot of attention to face care but how often to we stop to think about hand care? Our hands, especially our nails need a lot of care, too. Without care our nails can become rough and brittle. In addition to this, we need to eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly and drink lots of water if we want to make sure our nails remain healthy and pink. If anything goes wrong with our bodies—the signs can be seen in the color and texture of our nails.

Getting a manicure is one way of taking care of our nails. To put it simply—a manicure is a beauty treatment for our fingers and nails. It can be done by a trained beautician or it can be done at home.


Nail Care Tips
Things needed for Nail Care

*Cuticle Pusher (preferably made of rose wood)
* Nail File (preferably, an emery board nail file)
* Nail Clipper
* Nail Buffer (fine textured)
* Nail Brush
* Orange Stick
* Cotton Wool
* Olive Oil

1.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. In short you need to stay healthy if you want your nails look healthy.

2.Keep your nails clean by cleaning them with a mild soap (or even face wash) and lukewarm water, regularly.

3.Whenever you do any housework or gardening, or any work that exposes your hands to chemicals or too much water—wear gloves to protect your hands.

4.Do not bite your nails.

5.If your nails turn brittle or flaky, or you find white marks or ridges on your nails, or if they turn yellow—consult a doctor. These can be symptoms for fungal or bacterial infection or vitamin or protein deficiency.

6.Use a nail brush to clean your nails. Make sure that dirt does not accumulate under your nails. This looks bad and can cause bacterial or fungal infection. Take particular care to make sure that the corners of your nails stay clean and dirt-free.

7.Moisturize your nails with olive oil—massage your nails with olive oil daily. If maintaining this nail care regimen becomes a little difficult— follow this process at least once a week with warm olive oil.

8.If you love to wear nail enamel make sure you pick your shades from major brands, only. Also, remember your nails need to "breathe." So, keep your nails "enamel free" for at least two days in a week. Use only good quality nail enamel removers. It may not be a good idea to do "budget shopping" as far as your beauty care products are concerned.

9.Always use colorless nail enamel as a base coat whenever you apply nail enamel to your nails.

10.Use a nail clipper to trim your nails once a week or once every ten days—depending on how fast your nails grow.

11.Use a nail buffer to smooth out rough or uneven portions of your nails.

12.Use a file to shape your nails.

13.A cuticle pusher is useful if you want to push back the cuticles. You may also use a cotton-wool tipped orange stick, dipped in olive oil, for this.

14.Never use sharp objects on your nails.

15. A simple homemade nail care recipe may be just the pampering your nails need. Here’s the recipe just for you—

We have already given our list of "things you need" for nail care. So, here’s how you would give your nails some pampering in the form of a "non-chip French manicure."

Things you need for a non-chip French manicure.

* Sesame Seed Oil*- 1 tsp.
* Full Fat Milk- ½ cup (warmed)
* Beeswax-1 tsp. (melted)
* Chamois
* Soft Towels

(If you are in hurry--olive oil works just as well.)

Procedure for non-chip French manicure.

* Wash your hands using a mild soap. Use a soft towel to pat your hands dry.
* Use a nail clipper to trim your nails.
* Use an emery board to shape your nails.
* Buff your nails with a buffer. Take care to buff in one direction so as not to damage your nails.
* Pour the milk in a glass bowl. Soak your fingertips in the milk for about 8-10 minutes. Make sure that your nails are completely immersed in the milk. Remove your fingers from the bowl and pat them dry with a moist, soft towel.
* After drying your fingers, take one half of the sesame seed oil. Rub a little bit of the oil onto each of your nails.
* Dip 2 orange-sticks tipped with cotton-wool in a little bit of the sesame seed oil. Use one of these to gently push back the cuticles of your nails. Make sure to reveal the half-moon shaped portion of your nails.
* Use the other orange-stick to clean and whiten the portion beneath your nails. Do this slowly and very gently.
* Gently, apply the remaining sesame seed oil to your nails. Leave it on the nails for 8-10 minutes.
* Use the chamois to polish your nails with the beeswax. Polish your nails slowly and gently till they get a healthy, pearly look.
* You may use this nail care recipe to take care of your toe-nails, too.

Healthy And Beautiful Hair

Did you ever look at a woman with long, shiny, luscious hair and wish yours was such? Although we all envy the owners of long hair, only few of us really try to grow it. Short hair is much simpler to handle, style and take care of.
But, once you start thinking about it, you’ll find out that it isn’t really that hard to achieve, so, lets give it a try with these helpful tips.

Long hair care tips:

* The first step is to get a haircut, because you need to start with healthy hair, ready to grow. Ask your hairdresser to cut off all the damaged hair and to style it according to your goals. That means no short bangs.
* Let your hair grow for a few months. At first you’ll be often unsatisfied with the way your hair looks. That’s usually why many women give it up and cut it the way it was. But don’t give up,bear with it, it’ll be worth the trouble.
* You still have to trim your hair regularly, half an inch every four months at least.
* Avoid using blow dryer, or hair iron, it’ll break and damage your hair.
* After you wash your hair, tuck it in a towel and leave it that way for 20 minutes.
* If you really must use the blow dryer, use it for only a few minutes at time, letting your hair cool off in between.
* Say goodbye to peroxide and other damaging hair colours. Go for nature-based colours that protect your hair.
* Never brush your hair when it’s wet. Brush your hair starting at ends, detangling gently piece-by-piece with your fingers first.
* Once your hair has grown for a few inches, you can go to the hairdresser to style it more suitably. For instance, you can get layers by cutting a few locks shorter, which will make your hair appear fuller too.

While your hair is growing



Waiting for your hair to grow and dealing with outgrown style can be stressful. But stop worrying, here are some hairstyle suggestions:

* Make a sweet ponytail and tame the stray hairs with some cool pins.
* Change the parting of your hair, that can completely change the way you look and feel.
* Flip your ends out and tuck bangs behind your ears.
* Use some gel to sleek all of your hair down.
* Put your hair up and safe it with a fair number of pins.
* Curl only the ends and sleek down the rest of your hair.

WEIGHT LOSE & BODY SHAPE

Thin, trim, athletic and slim Many men and women across the globe wish for such a figure, but few are fortunate enough to have it without a great deal of work.

Whether you are an avid athlete or a chronic couch potato, this fairly easy dietary regimen should give you a good push in the right direction. Pair it with some regular exercise and a positive attitude, and you could be well on your way to the best shape of your life!

Tip #1: Give up soda.

Its true soda is full of empty calories. Sure, it may help you to stay awake at work, but it can also corrode your teeth and increase your waistline s girth without warning. Sugary drinks impact the acidity of saliva, which quickly increases the likelihood of cavities. Furthermore, continuous consumption of soda and other super-sugary beverages can impact your digestive process.

If you can t give up soda, at least decrease the amount of soda that you drink in a given day. Try to treat soda as just that a treat. Have one glass a day with lunch or dinner, and drink ice water or spring water for the remainder of the day. Water is great for your body, helps to flush out toxins, and keeps you hydrated. That s a lot more than we can say for soda!

Fit shape Tip #2: Pass up salty, greasy fast food.

Believe me, as a French fry-aholic, I feel your pain. As a cross country runner in high school, I gave up eating fast food at all my favorite chain restaurants. I don t think I ate a single French fry or chicken McNugget for six months or more. And how could I forget, when my running season was over and I indulged myself in an Extra Value Meal, my stomach cried out in pain for all the greasy chow dumped into it after months on a healthy diet.

Again, if you can t give up the fast food, try to limit the amount you consume. You can pair your cheeseburgers with salads or fruit cup, or, you can consider switching to a healthier alternative like a deli sandwich or wrap.

Tip #3: Shut out the sugar.

Like I should talk here, being a self-proclaimed chocoholic. But without a doubt, I eat five or ten times as much candy now as I did during my high school sports seasons. Now, ten years later it is ten times tougher to prevent those sugar calories from sticking on my tummy, legs, and hips. What s a girl to do?

During those months of training for my races, I gave up ice cream and 90 percent of the candy I used to eat. I also chowed down on healthier snacks, like carrot sticks and crackers when I got hungry. Try cutting out the majority of your sweet indulgences and treat yourself to just one (OK, or two) sugary treats a day. A small candy bar, a single brownie, two cookies give yourself a limit and stick to it. If you feel especially motivated and determined, try to give up the sugary snacks completely for a few days a week.

Tip #4: Stop eating before bed.

Without a doubt, eating and sleeping should not go together as blissfully as they do. Eating makes us feel full and being full is akin to satisfied. Satisfied equals comfortable, and comfortable often leads right to sleep. But, if you limit yourself to eating dinner and all snacks prior to a certain time, you can help prevent those extra pounds from sneaking on late at night.

Sure, it s all right to get a midnight snack once in a while, or to indulge at a friend s party or other social engagement. The big idea is to work out a routine of eating before it gets to be late at night. Stick to the schedule as best as you can, and be sure to eat three balanced meals a day.

Tip #5: Exercise!

Adhering to the right kind of diet should help you initially, but exercise does the body good in so many ways. Whether you like to walk, jog, run, bike, swim, go to the gym, or do exercise videos, exercise is critical to keeping your body in the kind of shape you crave. Fitness is good for your body, mind, and soul. Paired with the right kind of diet, a regular regimen of exercise can really work wonders on any body!

Remember, everybody s body is different. What works for me may not work as well for you, and vice versa. Whatever the case, cutting some of the sugary sodas out of your diet and working out on a regular basis should bring positive results.

Consult your physician before attempting any rigorous dietary routines or dietary supplements.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

Teen Weight Loss, like weight loss for any overweight person, is challenging. That doesn't mean it can't be done. In fact if you follow these five tips for success, your chances of success will increase- a lot.

The first tip is to plan to lose weight slowly. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? The message was that slow and steady wins the race. Well weight loss is kind of like that. You can be like the hare and lose a lot of weight quickly, but after a short time, that lost weight slowly creeps back on.

The second tip is to avoid any fad diets. There are lots of these types of weight loss plans for teens. These diets appeal because they promise you will lose loads of weight quickly. What they can't promise is for that weight to stay off once you go off of the plan and start eating normally again.

Tip three is to get some exercise while you are trying to lose weight. Adding some extra activity while cutting back on calories will speed up your metabolism. A faster working metabolism translates into even more weight loss.

Tip four is to eat a balanced diet. The reason you are dieting is to get slimmer of course. But wouldn't it be nice if you could maintain your weight loss without having to always be dieting.

The final tip is to change your eating habits. It will be easier to maintain your weight because you won't always have to be thinking about what you're eating.
