How To Beat The Summer Heat

Hey Everyone, Summer is here so I'm thinking to share some tips to beat the summer heat.

* Dress in light, loose, lawn/cotton clothing. Loose fitting clothes allow air to circulate, keeping you cool.

* Use sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. You can get sunburn even on a cloudy day, so put some sunscreen on every morning. Don't forget lips, ears, back of neck.

* Drink lots of water, juices and Non-Alcoholic drinks and stay hydrated. Avoid sugary soft drinks, alcohol and caffeine, which are diuretics - substances that increase water loss via the urine.

* Coconut water can safe you from summer heat. Tender coconut has all the essential substances which the body needs to keep it hydrated and maintain the nutrient level.

* Iced tea is a great summertime drink.

* Lemonade is the next best remedy. Lemonade is a drink make of lemon juice, salt and sugar is a saline solution, a rich source of vitamin C and Vitamin B. It keeps the body hydrates, protects skin and also promotes digestion, which usually fails during summer months.

* Avoid drinking chilled water immediately after returning from the outdoor heat. Thus, it is best to drink water from earthen pots. These pots keep the water cool and matches up to the body temperature, without causing harm.

Follow these tips above to beat the summer heat and Stay Gorgeous!

Fix Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Hey everyone,

Today, I'm gonna share some homemade recipes for fixing fine lines and wrinkles :)))

Fine lines and wrinkles appear with age, as your skin lose elasticity. Home remedies can help reduce existing wrinkles, but it will take some time to recover. plus you have to take good care of yourself like staying out of the sun (as much as you can or apply sunblock), avoiding cigarette smoke, keeping the skin clean and moisturized.

Milk and Yogurt: Soak a cotton ball in whole milk, and dab the liquid onto your face and neck. Leave on until dry (10-15 minutes), or apply a thin layer of curd/yoghurt for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water and pat your skin dry. Repeat daily for 20-30 days for best results.

Coffee: The caffeine in coffee firms the skin to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dab a cotton ball into a cup of cooled coffee, and apply directly to the affected areas. leave on until dry, and rinse with warm water. Repeat once daily as needed to help get rid of lines and wrinkles. Do not use coffee with added sugar or cream. Use plain black coffee for the best results.

Diet: Diet plays an important role, too. So start eating healthy it will make you beautiful inside out :))).. take more eggs (are high in lutein and zeaxanthin, help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles), green leafy vegetables, tomatoes (contains lycopene and a natural sunblock), Papaya (great for skin), and there are many more vegetables and fruits which make you beautiful inside out :)))

(Inside Out) Ban Blemishes

 

Hey everyone,

If you think pizza, burger, chocolate, etc are bad, cause breakouts, think again!

Eating cheese burger probably don't make much difference to your skin, but what will make a difference is eating more fruits, vegetables and other foods that help keep hormones in balance and fight inflammation.

One of the best foods for helping zap zits is salmon, says Lisa Drayer, a registered dietitian and author of The Beauty Diet. “Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, and acne may be caused by taking in too little omega-3 fats,” which can be found in salmon, sardines and flax seeds, “in relation to omega-6 fats,” in the form of processed foods that contain soybean oil. “Such an imbalance can cause inflammation, leading to blocked pores that cause an overproduction of oil,” says Drayer.

And Yeah...

Some helpful steps to ban blemishes... 

*Drink lots of water: You need to keep hydrated to have a clear skin. You should drink at least 8 cups of water every day (I drink 12-15 glasses of water everyday :)).

*Wash your face daily: There are many face washes/cleansers out there, make sure you use the right face wash/cleanser for your type of skin (oily, dry, or normal). Wash your face twice a day and moisturize after that .

*Avoid sharing a towel: As this could spread someones acne bacteria to your face.

*Stop popping: This will leave a scar :(

*Eat healthy: Stop eating junk food. Studies show that soda, chips, and candy cause more pimples (Tried and tested by me :(. well, you can treat yourself once in a while but NOT everyday :) Start taking Vitamin C, it is very good for your skin (i.e. oranges, raw red peppers, kiwi, grapefruit, and raw broccoli, etc). and If you were on a diet and lost some pounds (like me lol) start taking Vitamin C It will tighten your skin :).

*If you have got severe acne, consult your doctor: stop experimenting by yourself :)

Hmm Did you find this post helpful ??? Let me know :)))

Till Then, 

Take Care. Allah Hafiz.

(Benefits) Of Popcorn

Hey Everyone,

Today, I'm gonna share some benefits of Popcorn (a very tasty and very healthy snack).

Researchers have found popcorn contains more antioxidants than fruits and vegetables and the hull of popcorn, which has tendency to get stuck (ouch!) between the teeth, is a nutritional powerhouse, researchers called them "nutritional gold nuggets."

Popcorn contains high fiber, an important substance for the body encourages healthy digestion and regularity.

Hmmm I'm glad I've came to know about these benefits because before I though Popcorn makes us more fat :-P A 2011 study found that soluble fiber (one type of fiber found in popcorn) helped to reduce belly fat. This means eat one serving of Popcorn everyday (yummy) instead of one hour workout for belly fat (yayyy) lol. Fiber also helps in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Popcorn may also be a great snack for diabetics looking to improve control of their blood sugar levels.

Well well, don't get too excited about buying the extra large popcorn at movie theatre — researcher warns as soon as you cook it in oil/butter, popcorn can become a nutritional nightmare loaded with fat and calories.

Only Air-popped corn contains less than 100 calories in a serving while corn popped in oil./butter has about twice as many calories.

Hmm I always want to know about food which makes beautiful from inside out and It’s clear that Popcorn makes you gorgeous (has antioxidants) from the inside out (awesome!). Now you can be gorgeous while enjoying Popcorn (yummy!)

Hmm What do you think about this news??? Do U like Popcorn???

Hey everyone,

Loveee coffee <3???

Hmm well, the conversation about coffee 'Is it good or bad' still goes on and my view about it is that  'It doesn't do any harm if taken in moderation' :) It depends on how many cups you drink.

Well, I've came to know some good and bad reactions about it which I wanna share with Y'all :)..

The Good:

• Coffee improves digestion and also prevents depression
• Coffee helps Get rid of cellulites
• Coffee Helps remove dark circles under the eyes.
• Like both black and green tea, coffee contains antioxidants (which reverses aging :D).
• Coffee can also help cure headaches (like we feel relaxed after having any kind of tea b/c it also has caffeine).
• Drinking coffee can help you on a sleep-deprived day or when you do boring stuff (i.e. at work, studying ;) lol)

The Bad:

• Coffee causes insomnia, avoid drinking it at night, if you're sensitive to caffeine 

Uses around the house:
(Facial scrub) Coffee grinds mixed with your daily face wash or scrub exfoliate your skin well. Use gently to remove dead skin. It leaves your skin super smooth.
(body scrub) Coffee reduce the appearance of cellulite, you can take advantage by adding coffee to your body wash or scrub.
(Hair care) Brew one strong cup of espresso and let it cool completely. Pour the coffee onto dry hair and leave it on for 15-20 minutes, rinse it out. it gives shine and glow to your hair like never before.
(Around the house) Put coffee beans or grounded in a glass jar in the refrigerator or bathroom to remove unwanted smells.
Well, so far I found these good and bad reaction(s) of coffee, not mentioning serious diseases it may cured or caused.

To sum it up, There're more good reactions in coffee than bad ones, but Beware! bad ones are really really bad ;).. and I'm 100% sure you can drink 1-2 cups of coffee in a day, it doesn't do any harm :)

Do you loveee coffee??? How much do you loveee???
