DIAMOND HEART SHAPE 5.04 CARATS "G" COLOR "IF" CLARITY" IMPORTANT NECKLACE

Woman and Their Concern For Their Beauty

A woman judges her beauty on various parameters. Here are some of them.

Believe it or faint - Hair roots
Forget the colour of their hair, would you believe that women are concerned about their hair roots. Say a woman dyes her hair, but there is some natural hair colour showing at the root. Result - looks of derision from other women who have dyed their hair perfectly. But the good part is that men would consider this slip up very insignificant. A man isn't really going to check a woman's root to determine whether she is beautiful or not. For a man - if she looks beautiful, she is beautiful.

Shaving - A beauty marker
Using that hair remover on the private parts is a personal decision. Some women as a personal choice trim it, while others shave it completely. There are still others who love a bush down there. On the other hand, shaving hair on other parts of the body, is considered hygienic and also an essential marker for beauty. For a woman, hair on the arms or legs is a strict 'no'. Men will definitely stay away from women who sport hair in places where they aren't supposed to sport hair, until and unless they have a weird fascination for hairy women.

Hands and feet
Do men really notice a woman's manicured hands and feet pedicure? This could be debatable, but a woman certainly thinks so. They go through a regular manicure and pedicure session to look good. Some women might claim to do this for hygienic reasons rather than for purely aesthetic reasons. The truth might lie somewhere in between. But it's not completely untrue that most men like a woman with neatly trimmed nails. Some might find bright nail polish attractive, but very few men are actually going to notice the pedicure and manicure details in a woman.

Stretch marks and the anti-cellulite campaign
Cellulite and stretch marks are definitely not attractive. So, women want to avoid them at all costs. If they have already developed stretch marks or cellulite, they want to decrease them as soon as possible. For this reason, they use a range of creams such as anti stretch marks cream and anti cellulite creams. So, why do women worry about such "imperfections"? A man would love a fit woman and somebody who has a well toned body. But that doesn't mean that men would find a woman with stretch marks or with cellulite unattractive.

There are many other beauty factors that might worry women. Not all women go this route, but quite a number of them do. It's a fact of life and not much can be done about it. It's important not to see this as a generalization of all women and men and their attitudes towards beauty.

Beauty Salon First Impressions - 5 Secrets For Making Your Beauty Salon a Hit

Beauty salons have long been a haven for women. It's a time carved out to focus on just themselves. It's a little mini vacation when everything else gets put on hold. And it's a time when it's okay to sit back and be waited on hand and foot.

Successful salons should count on having the following 5 secret weapons to dazzle new customers and make a loyal following of them.

Inviting Atmosphere-You only get one chance to make a first impression so it's important to be thoughtful about the colors you choose as they will instantly set the mood. Comfortable chairs, great lighting, attractive styling booths, clean floors and waiting area are all crucial elements in creating a great first impression.

Friendly Staff-Even the glitziest salon needs a staff that is friendly and accommodating to its customers. The first impression can be a very positive one if one member of the staff immediately welcomes everyone who enters. Having someone greet clients when they enter, acknowledge their appointment, and make their stylist aware that they are there are all little things that can pay rewards like client loyalty.

Complimentary Refreshments-Sometimes by giving a little you get a lot. Offering complimentary coffee, tea, or even ice water with lemon or lime will make your shop stand out. Not everyone will even want anything, but just the fact that you offer it makes your salon memorable.

Prompt Service-There is nothing more aggravating for clients than to schedule an appointment in advance, and then be asked to sit and wait for 15 or 20 minutes before service begins. Having your stylist stick to a schedule will score big points with moms who are juggling the salon appointment with a soccer match or dance lessons.

Punctuality will also allow you to grow corporate clientele if they can reliably count on punctual appointments that they can schedule during lunch and/or before and after work.

Fresh Smelling Air-Have you ever walked into your salon and noticed the overwhelming smell of chemical fumes from permanents, nail adhesives and polish? This makes an unpleasant first impression, and is also unhealthy for you, your stylists, and your customers to breathe.

You may not smell the odors after you've been in the shop for hours, but the bad odor from hair and nail products can really cause clients not to want to stay.

Using a chemical air purifier to constantly filter the air and remove airborne chemicals will allow your salon to make a great first impression, and it will create a healthy and beautiful atmosphere where your clients can count on relaxing and enjoying their beauty salon experience.

Make a great first impression that lasts by removing chemical odors from your salon with the Beauty Salon Air Purifier at http://purerair.com/beauty_salon_purifier.html

Fashion and Beauty - A Historical Perspective

More than 40 000 years ago the inhabitants of Western Europe adorned themselves with jewelry of ivory and bone. Clothes, worn to protect their bodies from the elements or to provide covering for modesty's sake, came much later. The people of northern Europe probably first slung animal skins around themselves as protection from the cold in about 25000 BC. In the Mediterranean and Middle East, fibers from plants such as flax, and the hair of goats and sheep, were woven to form lightweight fabrics that not only afforded protection against the Sun's rays but also signified social status. The earliest of these textiles, made in Anatolia in Turkey, date to about 6500 BC.

As civilizations developed, so styles of dress also evolved. In Egypt, Greece and Rome, clothes were draped, while the people of northern Europe and the East wore stitched, tubular garments. In the classical world the toga, worn not only by rulers but also by philosophers and teachers, was regarded as a symbol of civilization. Breeches and tunics, by contrast, were considered typical of barbarian, tribal societies.

But the idea of fashion, with its ever changing cycles of styles and trends, first took hold in the mid 1300 in Paris, London and the Italian city-states, when the elite rejected their flowing garments for tight-fitting clothes decorated to show the latest tastes. Men's robes, which had previously been ankle-length, now reached above the knee, while female dress was transformed by lacing, buttons and the introduction of the décolletage. As people desired to change their silhouettes at regular intervals - a trend that coincided with a growing international textiles trade - so cutting and tailoring developed.

Early fashion belonged to the elite, who tried to preserve their social superiority with 'sumptuary laws' forbidding tradesmen and yeomen from wearing expensive and lavishly embroidered fabrics. But the French code of dressing, based on a fixed social hierarchy and courtly etiquette, was overturned by the Revolution of 1789. Elaborate wigs and powdered hair were abandoned, men's clothes were no longer embellished with embroidery and lace, and women adopted the simple Empire gown. Style became a mark of individual freedom, adopted for its own sake. No longer the preserve of the aristocracy, it soon became associated with the avant-garde, Romantic writers and artists, political activists and dandies.

In Britain affordable, mass-produced printed textiles and fashion accessories were made available by the Industrial Revolution. These were popular with the middle classes, who saw them as a means of expressing their new confidence and success. For men power now lay in business, not the court. The dark suit became a male 'uniform', while women paraded the family's status through their own and their children's dress. Fashion and femininity were inextricably entwined. Women were weighed down by petticoats and their mobility restricted by delicate shoes.

In the late 1800s attempts began to make female dress more 'sensible'. But ideals of beauty and fashion held sway, with department stores offering ready-made copies of the newest styles featured in magazines, society photographs and, from the early 1900s, the cinema. From these beginnings the consumer-orientated 20th-century fashion and beauty industries were launched.

Some Skin Beauty Tips - Try Avocado Oil and Manuka Honey With Cynergy TK

Are you looking for some smooth skin beauty tips that will finally give noticeable results lasting longer than a few hours? Good luck with that, because most of the home remedies, and over the counter anti wrinkle formulas that people in the media are constantly pushing on you are ill equipped to give you the results you are after. You will actually be more successful with the home remedies than with many you can buy in a store.

The reason that I believe home remedies work better with your skin is that they at least involve all natural ingredients. Natural compounds possess properties that make them much more compatible with your skin that what most of the over the counter formulas contain. At the very least the natural components in your kitchen will provide your skin with some antioxidants, and a few essential nutrients.

You won't even get these things from many of the store bought formulas, which is why I advise people not to follow smooth skin beauty tips that involve the use of a particular over the counter formula. Most of the products that a media source will tout as the answer to your issues with lines and wrinkles in your skin come from the major cosmetics companies. These corporations have a terrible reputation when it comes to quality.

These multibillion dollar corporations tend to use only the lowest quality ingredients to develop their products, because the less that a compound costs the higher the profit margin on the product. The penny pinching that goes on in these companies leads to cosmetics that are developed almost entirely from chemical agents. There are typically virtually no natural ingredients in these companies' formulas at all.

I will make an example out of two commonly used groups of natural ingredients in order to prove my point about why you don't wan to follow the smooth skin beauty tips in magazines, or on television. The first group is the wrinkle reducers collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. How can these components reduce your wrinkles, when they are too dense for your skin to be able to absorb them?

The next lot is the petroleum based moisturizing agent's mineral oil, petrolatum, and paraffin wax. These compounds will actually not deliver any moisture to the skin, because like the wrinkle reducers they are far too dense for penetration into the skin to be possible. These compounds actually rob your skin of moisture by causing your sebum production to decline.

The only smooth skin beauty tips concerning over the counter skin care formulas that I have found valid were those concerning the all natural formulas featuring Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame. The protein fusion Cynergy TK is renowned for its ability to dramatically boost the production of collagen and elastin, while Phytessence Wakame kelp extract elevates your hyaluronic acid levels by shielding it from damaging enzymes.

The avocado oil, active Manuka honey, and special nano-emulsified Coenzyme Q10 featured along with these tissue building ingredients, make the smooth skin beauty tips about products featuring Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame the only ones worth listening to.

7 Beauty Tips For Acne Prone Skin

Acne. Boy do I hate it. Those pimples popping up all over my face back in my teenaged years. Even now, I do get acne outbreaks when I am stressed, or use the wrong skin care product. I've been to many doctors who are able to clear my acne, until the next outbreak.

Part of the reason is oily skin. Greasy skin that traps dirt and skin debris clogging up pores make your skin pores an excellent breeding place for bacteria. The bacteria multiplies and voila. You have acne.

All is not lost. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, here are 7 beauty tips to help keep the pimples away.

1. Keep your HANDS off your face.

You hands, after touching so many things, opening the door, picking up a bag, things we do everyday, are covered with bacteria. The last thing you want is to put that bacteria on your face. Touch your face often with your hands, or worse still, pick those pimples with your fingers, and you will see the pimples multiply.

2. Keep your HAIR off your face.

If you have oily skin, you probably have oily hair. Oily hair brushing against your face adds to the oil. Oil, sweat and skin debris are a great way to clog the pores in your skin, leading to more pimples. If you notice pimples appearing on your forehead, or your cheeks and chin, typically where your hair might brush against, your hair could be the culprit. Wear a hairband, use hair clips to keep your hair off your face, tie it into a pony tail, or get a hair cut.

3. Wash your face 3 times a day with a good acne cleanser.

I got that tip from a doctor. I washed my face when I woke up, at lunch time and at bedtime with a cleanser that is meant for skin that has acne. My skin cleared when I stuck to the routine and used only skin care products meant for skin with acne. A bar of soap meant for washing your face does the trick just as well.

4. Stick to acne skin care

Every time I stray from that point, I end up with a major acne outbreak. Always. Everytime I see my pals with exceptionally radiant skin, I want to use whatever they use. I would switch to richer, anti aging skin care as a preventive measure, worried about wrinkles appearing when I get older. That backfires every time. I end up with more pimples. Stick to good acne skin care products.

5. Relax

Did you notice how pimples tend to appear more before a stressful event. Exams. A big date. A presentation. Stress wreaks havoc on your skin. Ok, pimples can also pop up due to hormonal imbalances, like just before your period.

6. Sleep

Your skin heals itself when you sleep. Your entire body heals itself in your sleep. A night without sleep may lead to more pimples. Make it a habit to leave your worries behind and get a good night's sleep. Work out more earlier in the day. Get some exercise before evening. It helps.

7. Stay away from pressed powder compact.

Yup. You heard me right. I got this tip from a friend. Her friend used a pressed powder compact to hide her acne. Instead, the more she used it the worse it got. Just think. By mid day, your skin gets oily. You take out the powder compact, and use that powder puff to apply pressed powder on your face. Now, your face would already have dirt, bacteria and oil on it. Pat your face with that powder puff and now that puff picks up the dirt, bacteria and oil. You put it back into the compact. The bacteria happily breeds in there. Then you take out the compact again and pat more powder, mixed with oil, dirt and bacteria onto your face, picking up more gunk, putting in more gunk into your compact. The cycle goes on. A better bet would be to use blotting paper to blot off the excess oil instead. Then you can throw the paper away after use. Use the blotting paper meant for your face like the ones found at [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/blotting%20paper.htm]

About this powder puff thing, make it a point to wash your powder puff and all your make up brushes regularly, with soap and water. Then dry them completely before you keep them. Guess that would make it an 8th tip right?

Oily, acne prone skin needs a lot of care. The bright side is that oily skin is slower to show signs of aging than dry skin. Take care of your skin and you'll probably look younger than your peers as the decades go by.

Dental Care Is More Than Brushing The Teeth

It is very important for a killer smile to have a set of well-arranged and pearly white teeth. There are many who not have a perfect set of teeth but it will not matter much if the teeth are perfectly white. It is very important to have healthy teeth, healthy gum and breath smelling fresh because we are always interacting with someone or the other. Therefore it is very important to keep your mouth free from bad breath. Good dental health is important for self-happiness also.

A set of well-arranged and pearly white teeth will surely impress everyone all around you. Who does not want to have a set of white healthy teeth? Remember that dental care is more than brushing the teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day is of course essential part of dental care that will prevent tooth decay, bad smell and gum disease. Brush and toothpaste plays an important role in dental care. Brush should be such that you are comfortable with it and it should reach all the areas easily. Your toothpaste should contain fluoride that will help you to prevent tooth decay. It is advisable to use floss to remove plaque and prevent gum disease.

Many do not know the exact technique of brushing teeth. There are some who do not give much attention to brushing. Brushing involves mathematical application. Always to hold your brush at a 45-degree angle in short, half-tooth-wide strokes against the gum line and holding the brush flat brushing back and forth on the chewing surface. While brushing the inside surfaces of front teeth tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up and down strokes with toe of the brush. Flossing involves wrapping 18-inch strand around your middle fingers and holding a one-inch section tightly it is ease between teeth and cleans up and down several times while curving around the tooth at the gum line. It does not end here. To have perfect oral hygiene you also need to clean your tongue with your brush by moving it in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and freshen the mouth.

To get better result you need to visit the dentist at least twice a year for a check up. Although brushing and flossing is an important part of a dental care but it is not enough to keep your teeth white and healthy and mouth free of bad smell. A visit to the dentist at least twice a year should be followed to ensure the killer smile that exists in commercials. A visit to a dentist will help you to get the full spectrum of dental care that involves diagnostic, preventive, and educational services specifically designed to help you keep the best possible smile.

12 Potent Magic Love Secrets a Woman Must Weave to Catch & Keep the Man She Desires

Hands up all women that think the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Nope... Wrong! There are two regions of the body that a male deals with when it comes to loving a woman. Hint! One is of a higher plain in a northerly direction. The truth is finally revealed. The question, Ladies, is not whether you can handle the Truth, more so can you handle your man? The secrets revealed are very powerful. So Be warned! You may just ensnare your man passionately forever, and quite enjoy yourself in the process!

1. Make your man feel special. Tell him how he thrills and excites you. How you just love it when he does (what ever he does for you). Not just things of physical intimacy, but that is something men do like hearing about, but also helping with the chores, looking after the kids, taking you out for dates, just being the nicest human to walk the surface of the earth... if indeed he is. If not it might give him something to aspire to.

2. Listen to your man. Silence is golden so it is written. Let your man talk. Listen to him as he reflects on things. Even those uneasy silences while he tries to sort out his minds thoughts. Encourage him by nodding your head or not verbally giving him kews, an aha, hmmm, is that so honey. Soon you will find that this comes quite naturally and you will discover the depth to your man as he gains confidence in being intimate with you. Simple listening techniques and encouragement will help you learn so much more about your man.

3. Dress up for him and look after yourself. Some women think the art is in the catching. This is just the beginning the real skill is in keeping your man and your relationship alive. Make him feel like your prince and just how lucky he is to have you, his princess. This doesn't matter if you go out with him in jeans and a T shirt, or a formal gown and a Tiara. Look after your appearance and stay healthy. A bit of make up, without over doing it, and keeping up an exercise weight program, should keep your man very attracted and attentive towards you.

4. Don't nag and scold. Refer to item 1. There are subtle ways a woman can achieve things with her man, without berating him or putting him down. Nagging and telling a man what to do is the quickest way to distance him or worse still destroy his love for you. Men will do anything to get away from an abusive or domineering harpy of a woman. Or seemingly just grow cold and bottle up their emotions.

5. Maintain your loving relationship with your man. Men are naturally themselves with you emotionally when you are loving them. Men have been trained from childhood to hide their softness, to not be intimate, not to be cry babies, to be distant and aloof. Often physical intimacy is the only time they can really be themselves. Never use love or lovemaking as a currency or a reward for good behaviour. Learn to love loving your partner on a regular daily or weekly basis.

Be spontaneous and discover how much you too can enjoy this simple pleasure that is so powerful psychologically in "divorce proofing" your relationship. Men will "stray "if they feel unloved. Make sure you become your man's true lover. Read a few books on the subject or think about new ways both of you can enjoy being together for pleasurable intimacy. Get some new intimate night apparel or some cheeky, sexy underclothing, to excite and encourage him. A man loves it when his woman shows real pleasure and enjoys the art of love making with him. So it is time to lose your inhibitions with your lover.

6. Learn to be discrete. Never BETRAY your mans secrets, flaws, or phobias to anyone. Men hate gossip particularly if it is about them and their own weakness. Don't use your man as a subject or a pop quiz at the local coffee club with your girl friends. By listening to a man refer item 2. You will discover more about him than any of your friends will possibly know. Men regard this behaviour as the most serious put down. If you use him as a pop quiz with your friends and then merrily go home to tell him his flaws as your girlfriends see them, you can just about kiss any form of intimacy away forever. He will become secretive and not reveal his true feelings, thoughts or emotions to you. That is if he hasn't left you.

7. Be confident in yourself. Accept the person you are. Do not worry what the gossip mongers and your not so well intentioned friends have to say. Understand your own personal flaws and try to improve yourself. But be happy. Seriously enjoy your life. This is your one shot at it so forget being gloomy and despondent. Learn to laugh and have fun. Be joyful that you have your man and learn to love him dearly. Your man will feed off your new zest for life; as well this will have some very positive effects on him as well.

8. Learn to love yourself and look after yourself. Eat healthily, give away excessive vices, exercise and get fit. This is not so you catch and keep your man, but that you feel good about yourself and have more energy to squeeze more out of life.

9. Forget being miserable and unhappy. Seeing a woman with a constant scowl and ugly disposition on life really is a huge turn off to men. Everybody in life has problems, what men admire most is how you overcome them, not roll around or wallow in them. Unhappiness and despondency are negative emotions that will rub off on your boyfriend or husband. Instead go for the lighter side of life. Watch a good comedy together and laugh till your sides ache. Learn to tell your man a few jokes, even a few "blue" jokes.

10. Discover the joy and beauty of being a child again, no matter if your 18 or 85. Take out a water pistol, if the mood is right and let him have it. Play games like hide and seek in the park. Stare up at the clouds and tell your man what they remind you of. Re-discover the thrill of being with the man you deeply love and yet take away the years of having to "act" like an adult.

11. Smile at your man as if he is the only male in the room or in the whole of existence. A woman's loving smile is the sexiest thing that any man can experience. Seeing the twinkle in her eyes directed solely at him. He will think of all the fun and pleasurable love you have shared and have. As you do, softly tell him why you love him, and don't be shy at all. It is your turn to make him blush!

12. Each day make a point to tell him you love him. Hold his hand. Touch him and lightly caress his skin. Give him a neck or a shoulder rub. Whisper sweet nothings as you breathe deeply on the tape of his neck. Develop this physical and emotional intimacy with him. You will be amazed at just how your relationship will change.

Men need to feel appreciated and loved. They are natural warriors, protectors and providers through the virtue of genetic encoding of their own biology, passed down by evolution. They are not as well equipped as women emotionally or being able to be as intimate, by the manner in our society they are brought up as males. By using the 12 methods above, you will bring out their softer side and develop true romance. You will become their Princess, Best Friend and Lover. All it needs is your natural nurturing, spontaneity and love to catch and keep your male lover.

Want To Be Thin?

There is no point of trying to make you understand you just won't understand!

Things are different now! You just do not know me! These are but a few of the words that a parent can hear from their daughter and of course their son as well, but this article in particular is talking about the a young girls struggle.

Girls have it different then boys. Yes, that is true. We can except a boy wilth a big belly, but a girl she is just not "a real girl". Think of it for a moment financial structure of society would not be the same if it were not for females. Look at all the stores that exist just to make the female more attractive. Make-up, diamonds, clothing and tummy tucks and on and on.

Yes males can find these things, but not in the same volume. So hear we find a young girl born into our society with the struggle to be pretty and sexy for who the male. It is the attractive model who sells the clothes or cars or whatever, and she is nice and thin. She often acquires her self worth by her appearance. She constantly is looking for that affirmation that she is some one special. and may be not even special. So how does a parent help their young girl develop self worth? How does a parent help their struggling girl to become a"WHOLE PERSON" in a society that values her for only her shape? You see it is not easy for parents to help their struggling daughter,especially mothers because she to is influenced by the same values. The value for females is she must be "THIN". Their clothes are meticulously chosen, each detail keeping with today's fashion. They wear makeup and body jewelry all to please.

If what I said is true then food can become a source of anxiety and terror because it can represent weight gain. Mothers have a very important role and being a positive role model. How many times have men said to their wives you are just like your mother. Yes we can see ourselves in our parents. What can mothers do to help their daughters to grow into a healthy women? I present to you four guide lines to help you develop a "whole life".

1. Never compare her to another person. Comparing only reinforces a negetive self image. For example, if your daughter is overweight and you are walking down the mall and see a slender sexy female in a shop do not say," would you not like to look like that." You must develop positive self image in your daughter because any weight control is attempted. Remember you and daughter may never be as thin as a model, your biological barreirs may be different, but that does not mean that you can not be a good healthy weight for you and feel good about it.

2. Attractiveness begins with the attitude. If you and your daughter are happy in your selves, if you believe that your self worth comes from what you do and who you are, not by what you look like you are both on the road to fulfillment. As a mother continuelly re-affirm her and yourself every day that you are special and your daughter is special. She is special because she is deeply loved. She is special because she brings joy to your life.

3. You can loose weight not be someone who has self worth, because you have self worth, but you want to loose weight because that is healthy, and healthy people feel much better. Healthy people feel better physically and mentally. Our bodies are but machine, and machines break down depending on how they are looked after and our bodies are the same.

Finally, loosing weight and exercise must become a mind set. So often we do things because we have to, we should, however, try to develop a routine, and have a mind. Look for a proper diet and exercise program that fits you and make it fun. If you make you diet and exercise program fun you will be building a relationship with your daughter that will reap future rewards for both of you.

Let's Start at the Very Beginning - Healthy Diet For Teenagers

The age of doldrums is what many prefer to call teenage. And it is true for more than one reason. Teenagers go through a series of physical, mental, emotional and hormonal changes which makes life for them fairly difficult. However, the complexities of the life of teenagers today is steadily becoming a cause for concern for the rest of the society.

For one, ninety percent of teenagers today suffer from poor body image. This is especially true for girls. The message that attractiveness, success and happiness depend on being thin is everywhere. Teenagers face an assault on their self-image and consequently their self-esteem almost everyday, everywhere.

The internet, and magazines all barrage these young girls and boys with images of perfection, which is closely linked with "thinness." As a result research findings reveal a shocking result. Only about fourteen percent of teenage girls are satisfied with the way they look.

More than fifty percent of teenagers today are struggling to cope with poor body image. And surprisingly despite such awareness and struggle to be the "right size", obesity among teenagers has tripled in the last ten years.

Young people are victims not only of poor self-esteem and eating disorders, but also of larger health issues. Heart attack of a fourteen year old is not shocking or surprising anymore. Therefore, now more than ever before it has become extremely important to tackle these issues on war footing.

It is important for these young people to understand and believe in the concept of a healthy diet. Especially the components of a healthy diet. So that, they are in a position to make the right and healthier choices.

Teenagers have special dietary requirements as they shoot up almost suddenly. Concentrating on eating a healthy diet during this phase will help them reap rich returns. As an adult they will enjoy good health and retain their attractiveness.

It is very important to understand that just eliminating the junk food and aerated drinks from your list of consumables is not enough to say that you are eating a healthy diet. Since the body is growing fairly rapidly at this stage there is a greater need for calcium. So, make sure milk, cheese and other calcium rich products are included in your diet.

Fruit and vegetables are a must. They are natural cures for many a problems. Girls should make sure they take an iron rich diet. While boys should take a diet that has sufficient amount of zinc. Also make sure that you have a generous amount of fluid intake.

Here are some tips for ensuring that you eat a healthy diet.

Girls in Sports - The Many Benefits of Team Sports For Young Women

Though long espoused as crucial for the development of young men, involvement in sports is highly beneficial for girls as well. Young women involved in sports are more likely to achieve academically, have increased self-esteem, experience a higher level of health and wellness, learn crucial skills for entering a competitive workforce, and enjoy the social rewards that accompany working as a team and having fun with others. With the availability of girls' sports increasing, it is important that young women be encouraged to participate and enjoy the higher quality of life that sports help them achieve.

The most obvious benefit of involvement in sports is a healthier body. All children involved in athletics experience a decrease in the likelihood of developing obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and several other complications linked to a sedentary lifestyle. For young women, in particular, there is a strong correlation between adequate exercise and a decreased risk for breast cancer and osteoporosis, both diseases that typically affect women. Studies also reveal that girls involved in extracurricular activities are less likely to experience an unwanted pregnancy. Being physically active when young increases the likelihood that a person will live an active lifestyle as an adult.

Studies indicate that young people who are involved in athletic activities achieve higher grades and are more likely to complete high school and college. This may be because adequate exercise improves mental acuity. It may also be attributed to the fact that children in sports are less likely to abuse illegal substances, such as drugs and alcohol. Steering clear of these substances helps young people stay focused on their academics and free of dangerous distractions. There is also evidence that young people who play sports are less likely to start smoking.

Women who are physically active generally have higher self esteem. They experience a better body image than their sedentary peers and exhibit more confidence. They are also less likely to develop symptoms of depression. The feeling of accomplishment that athletics can garner, having a healthy body, and feeling strong and capable all help young women feel good about themselves and experience a higher quality of life.

As more women enter the workforce, there are many job skills they can acquire from participation in competitive sports. Young women can learn to work as a team, to value a person's skills and abilities, to take orders from a captain or supervisor, and acquire the confidence in their abilities necessary to success in a competitive job market.

In addition to all the quantifiable and tangible benefits of sports participation for young women, there is also the immeasurable social reward. Sports offer girls an opportunity to socialize with people of varying abilities and experiences. Through sports, young women can find positive role models. They can learn the importance of working hard, working together, and being fair. Athletics offer children a myriad of social interaction and the delight that comes with playing a game and having fun.

With all the benefits of participating in sports for young girls, it is important to provide opportunity and encouragement to all young women to compete and play. Athletics and competition are an integral part of any child's growth and development, and young women are certainly no exception.

Girls Tennis Clothes Are Fashion Statements

Girls' tennis clothes have seemingly become more meaningful since iconic women tennis players began making sports fashion statements on famous courts the world over. Little girls' love to emulate their favorite tennis stars as they watch them on TV or live, at the grounds near them. Tennis clothes for girls are meant to look nice, even sexy, while taking away none of the comfort and the design required for playing the game well.

Styles have changed over decades

Ever since the game became a favorite with women, clothes have changed from the baggy skirts to the minis sported today. From full length dresses, the change over to more sexier and fashionable wear had much to do with how tennis stars in the international circuit dress. You can see the change in girls tennis clothes from the 70's to the present, as styles of tennis stars have also changed over the decades.

Girls tennis clothes were usually full length clothing during the early years of the last century. They were pure cotton outfits and all white in color. But today the clothes are made primarily of synthetic material and are supposed to be fashion statements as well. Synthetic fabrics come in a wide range of colors, and manufacturers check out and produce the popular colors every season.

As the game is primarily played on spring and summer months each year, the clothes for girls' are meant to make them feel comfortable while they are playing. Fashions of every decade find their way into the fashion of tennis clothes that girls' wear. Shirts are popular with girls and the colors can be many or single. Fluid and free motion are what is aimed for while designing girls' tennis clothes. They have to swing, swerve and hop around and require comfy clothes.

Lightweight and comfortable

Young girls' are very conscious about what they wear while playing the game since they have grown up watching their favorite stars on TV. There is a wide range of tennis wear available for girls' that are lightweight and don't hold moisture since sweating profusely is a part of the game. The primary aim of tennis clothes makers for girls is to make them feel cool and dry while they twist and turn on the court.

Even today some competitions require girls to be in all white, but there are some events that allow them to wear multi-colored clothing as well. The girls' have to feel mentally at ease, and loose clothing can take away their focus from the game. Greater performance can be ensured with great clothing that can fit snugly. It could be skirts, T shirts as well as mini skirts. Makers of girls' tennis clothes also try to bring in a cooling effect with their latest collections. But all the while keeping in mind that the girls have to look great as well.

Girls Shoes

Any parent or guardian knows what a challenge it can be to satisfy the needs and wants of young girls, especially when it comes to what they wear. Fashion is so very important at this stage, and keeping up with the latest trends will stymie even the most creative and committed parent or guardian. Girls shoes are a big part of this undertaking. Practicality does not need to take a second seat to style, however, since makers of girls shoes understand how hard it can be to keep those young ladies happy while satisfying the budgetary considerations of the ones who will be paying the tab.

This challenge really begins in the toddler ages. Even though infant girls may not be fully aware of just how their appearance is being presented to the public, the need to show up in attractive footwear is just as important at this point as it ever will be. Luckily, makers of girls shoes know this, and they provide a wide selection of shoes for the very young ones that will protect those fragile feet while looking good.

Parents and guardians have so many choices available to them in girls shoes for toddlers. There are athletic shoes, boots, clogs, denim shoes, sandals, and skate shoes. There are a variety of casual and dress shoes to choose from as well. Mary Janes, patent leather shoes, slip-ons, and t-straps are available in all toddler sizes. There are of course many styles of booties and easy-to-wear shoes for infant girls that are designed with the parent or guardian in mind, while at the same time staying in touch with the latest fashion trends.

As the girls get a little older, they become even more aware of their look. This means that even though they are out playing, they will still want to look their very best. Makers of girls shoes are aware of this, and they offer so many different shoes that can stand up to the wear and tear of any active young girl's daily life. Athletic shoes alone can make up a big part of a young girls wardrobe, yet the need for a sense of style and color choices is still a big part of what they want.

DC Shoes is one maker of girls shoes who has a grasp on the latest styles in athletic shoes. They offer many choices for girls starting with the very youngest ladies. Sneakers and skate shoes in different colors and materials can match any outfit while being able to hold up to the activities that are so important in girls shoes. Heely's, Saucony, Geox, and Stride Rite also offer many good choices in athletic girls shoes, from the pristine all-white style to the multi-colored look that is so very popular.

There will also be those times when something a little more dressy is called for. Umi, Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, L'Amour, Jessica Simpson, and Primigi have many selections to offer for those special occasions. There are flats, slip-ons, and t-straps in all the colors of the rainbow. There are shiny leather patent shoes and shoes with pom-poms and glitter that will meet any fashion need possible. Boots, sandals, athletic shoes, and dress shoes are all part of a young girls wardrobe, and the many makers of girls shoes will likely have something for any style and budget.

Impeccable Fashion Tips For Women's Clothing

Fashion and women are almost inseparable. Mostly all women tend to have the innate sense of fashion which is why they are likely to go wrong with their dressing sense. However, sometimes even the best of fashion divas tend to mess up with their clothing style. The primary reason for such fashion blunders is complete ignorance about their body type and shape.

Women need to be well aware of their figure type in order to dress appropriately and aesthetically. Every woman tends to have some positives and negatives about their body. However, with proper clothing and dressing women are able to accentuate their figure highlights and cover up their flaws. In order to accomplish this objective, women need to know what type or shape they belong to. Here are few tips that would enable women to categorize them in these figure types.

* Pear shaped women are in plenty. These women tend to be rounded that are heavier on their hips and lower part of the body. These women however do not have a broad upper portion. Rather they are lighter on their upper portion. It is therefore feasible for such women to choose particular clothing that would accentuate their upper portion and take the eyes off from their heavier thighs and hip area. In order to tone them a little, darker colors would be really great as these colors would give a slimming effect. Wrap dresses are suitable for such a structure as it tend to hide the fat on the lower part of the body. Printed shirts, tops, straight skirts and V-necks are ideal for such women.
* Apple shaped women are just the opposite of the pear shaped. This is due to the fact that these women tend to have a heavy upper body with bulky waistline and heavy bust line. These women need to be extremely careful with their shirts, tops and other piece of upper clothing. V-necks are the most suitable necklines that would really suit these women. Trendy jackets can be worn to hide tone down the waist area thereby making them look slightly thinner. Women can also go for A-line dresses that really proportionate their figure giving them a pleasing appearance.
* Petite figured girls and women are extremely short and therefore it is important to pick clothing that would make these women look taller and elongated. The most preferred types of necklines that would really suit them are the V-necks and U-necks. The fabrics used for their clothing should be flowing and extremely light in weight. Short skirts are a complete"NO" for short women as they do not possess long slender legs. Avoid flashy jewelry and accessories on the clothing as it would only make these women look out of place and a complete fashion disaster.
* Rectangle shaped women tend to have quite good figure. Some may even say they look like athletes owing to their slim built and slender appearance. Gypsy skirts, full skirts, patterns and dresses are perfect for these women.
* Hourglass shaped women have the best looking figures. They are perfectly toned and curvaceous. It is the body type that all women crave to have. These women have nothing to worry as all kinds of dresses and clothing suits them really well. Fitted jeans, halters and straight trousers tend to highlight their figure.

There a lot of benefits from using organic beauty products. If you still doubt whether to use one or not, here are some reasons why using organics for your beauty regimen can really bring fantastic results.

Nature Fresh

One of the most flattering qualities of organic beauty products is their scent, which is so fragrant and very relaxing. Not like those commercial products which in reality smell like chemicals with added artificial scent which companies use to disguise its unpleasant smell.

Chemicals out, Herbs in!

Organic products contain no chemicals that are harsh for the skin and may even cause unwanted effects, unlike those commercial products that are commonly available in the markets. Because of the mildness of these organic beauty products, people with very sensitive skins could benefit a lot from using them.

No hidden ingredients

One of the greatest things about organic beauty care products which I really love is that you don't need to worry about its ingredients. You know exactly how the ingredients were contained and made into a formula. With commercially prepared beauty care products, you can never be certain of what ingredients or chemicals have been used, especially if all you find in labels are abbreviated names for the ingredients.

The use of an organic beauty product is very advisable for those who are looking for a beauty product which really cares for the skin. You can even see the beautiful results after few days of use. If you're still having second thoughts about using this kind of beauty products, you can always consult your dermatologist for a medical opinion. This way, they can evaluate your skin type or hair type and aid you in determining the most suitable product for you.

Take your time when trying out these organic beauty products. By doing this, you will find the most appropriate product for you. There is no need to be afraid of trying for they have natural ingredients that are less likely to damage your skin or your hair. They are also affordable compared with other products and if you are really low on budget, you can make your own using home made recipes which are readily available online.

Cosmetic Dangers - Should Young Girls Be Allowed to Wear Makeup?

Could allowing your daughter to wear makeup be increasing her breast cancer risk?

Research shows 9 out of 10 girls are wearing makeup regularly by the time they are 14. In fact, the number of girls aged 11 to 14 who use makeup every day has doubled in two years! Yet girls are most vulnerable to the chemicals in makeup - many of which are linked to breast cancer - during the years when their bodies are developing! (Environmental Working Group report, 2008)

The cosmetic industry has been increasingly targeting our daughters over the last decade, with a range of cutesy products designed for young girls. As a mother, I know that I allowed myself to be persuaded that 'kiddy makeup' was okay because it was just the same as playing dress up. I assumed that the products would be extra safe because of the age range it was marketed to, but clearly that was not the case! A look at any of the 'kiddy' cosmetics will quickly show you an alarming range of ingredients whose name you can't pronounce (which usually means chemicals). Do a bit more research and you will find that there are ingredients like phthalates which are linked to breast cancer, birth deformation, asthma and early puberty. You will also find lead, formaldehyde and other harmful ingredients.

Many of the ingredients in makeup and skin care products mimic the effect of oestrogen. This is of great concern, because it is widely accepted amongst scientists that it is the increased exposure to oestrogen in our environment that has lead to the rise in breast cancer over the last 50 years. (Breast cancer Network(NZ)report, 2006)

Strategies for protecting our daughters from the chemicals in cosmetics

1) The first thing to do is start reading labels, particularly the ingredients list. As a rule of thumb, if you can't pronounce it - don't buy it! Be suspicious: Words like "natural" or "hypoallergenic" look reassuring, but they may well be misleading.

2) Educate yourself and your daughters. There is a lot of information on the net about the chemicals in cosmetics issue. A good place to start is at SafeCosmetics.org. There is also an alarming report that is worth reading, even if it is a bit scientific, at breastcancernetwork.org.nz in an article entitled Insidious Oestrogens.

There are also places that will educate your daughter on cosmetic safety. For instance, as part of their Building Social Confidence program, one business, Grace Academy (School of Social Confidence), is arming girls with the information they need to make safe and healthy choices in cosmetics and skin care. "There are safe products available, if you know what to look for. We also teach girls about natural products they can make themselves." said Karen McIlveen, principal of Grace Academy.

3) Make your own cosmetics and skin care products! Women often assume that you have to pay a fortune for a product that is good for your skin, but that couldn't be further from the truth! You can easily make natural products in your kitchen, which are often better for your skin than anything you can buy in the shop. You can teach your daughter to make lip glosses, face masks and bubble baths in just a few minutes, knowledge that will save her a lot of money down the track! You can download recipes at Safe Cosmetics.

4) Shop in places that sell organic and natural products. Health stores often have natural cosmetics and skin care products, but again, read the labels carefully. Just because products are in a health store doesn't mean they are free of harmful chemicals.

5) Limit you and your daughter's overall exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals. While our bodies have an inherent ability to get rid of excess oestrogen, many of the man-made compounds can't be broken down and end up accumulating in the body.

One way to reduce the load on our bodies is to use glass containers as much as possible, as plastic containers often have these harmful chemicals. Another way to reduce exposure is to avoid all shop-bought cosmetic and skin care products, including shampoos and deodorants. In fact, some of the worst offenders are sunscreens, with five out of the 6 having oestrogen mimicking ingredients. Instead seek out products that are made from 100% natural ingredients. For instance, aromatherapy businesses often make up their own skin care products which are natural and wonderful for the skin.

6) Ultimately, you may have to refuse to allow your daughter to wear makeup and skin care products until her body has stopped developing. As she is most vulnerable when her body is developing, taking such a stand may protect her from breast cancer in the long run.

The pressure being brought to bear on cosmetic companies is slowly forcing them to withdraw these chemicals from their product lines. However, it will be some time before it is safe to use shop-bought products. In the meantime, we must protect our daughters from being exposed unnecessarily to products which may cause them harm later in life. Some exposures to chemicals are out of our control but limiting our children's exposure to shop-bought products is one thing we can, and must, control, to ensure their future.

Clothing Tips For Young Girls - 3 Ways to Look Mature Without Showing Too Much Skin

Going back to school is both exciting and a little unnerving. For girls and young women, finding just the right outfit for the first day of school feels like an impossible choice. The rest of the school year, your popularity and the opinions other form of you seems to hinge on which shirt you choose. Perhaps the choice plays over and over in your mind - the red dress or the blue? And then you ask yourself, does anyone even wear dresses anymore? You get to the point where you have dreams you go to school with nothing but your underwear on and everyone is pointing and laughing.

Choosing what you wear to school is an important way to set the tone and represent who you are. Of course, your parents are going to undoubtedly veto a few choices, especially your dad. You may as well skip over half of the choices in the junior's section of clothing because he is likely to tell you to take it off and put something longer or higher cut or looser on. It may feel like he's ruining your social life, but in reality he's doing you a great service by helping you put forward a fashionable yet tasteful image of yourself.

So how to you find the compromise and dress like the woman you've become without showing too much skin? Here are 3 savvy tips that will carry you into any fashion trend or season.

1. Be Yourself - This is the most important rule. Fashion trends will come and go, but you do not have to be a slave to each one. If Ugg boots are not your thing, or make your legs look like they are only 6 inches long, then opt out of making a fashion faux paux. Instead of following a trend to the T, put your own stamp on it. Find the trends that flatter you, but keep it classy. If the trend is a mini skirt, go ahead for the skirt, but pair it with a tasteful pair of opaque tights or leggings. The point is to be yourself, find the trends you like and keep a tasteful image in the process. When in doubt, remember: classy and timeless go together.
2. Flatter Your Best Feature - Showing cleavage, all but an inch of leg and your midriff only ends up making you look exactly the way you did in that dream where you went to school naked. Instead, choose only one of your best features to accentuate and play the rest down a little bit. If your legs are long, lean and tone, then find a skirt that falls to the middle of your thigh - always keep in mind that you should be able to sit down without showing off the color of your panties. Wearing a skirt with a modest shirt that both flatters and covers you will make others notice your great legs without getting an unflattering impression of who you are.
3. Accessorize - Clothing accessories are one of the most affordable ways to freshen up your wardrobe and keep up with the fashion trends. Dressing trendy yet modest should not feel like you are losing out on making a statement or having an edge on fashion. By accessorizing, you can make bold statements without showing all the goods. Amazing accessories will keep your dad happy and make all your friends jealous.

Clothes should be fun, trendy, flattering and comfortable. If others get the wrong idea of who you are because of the revealing way you dress, your reputation may precede you in a negative way. Clothing has the power to influence how others feel about you and most of all has the power to make you feel better about yourself. So take the time to find the perfect outfit that is hip, hot and not too revealing.

How to Make a Woman Fall in Love - Without Looking Like a FOOL!

It's usually pretty much a given that a guy is going to end up making himself look like a fool in the pursuit of winning a woman's love. However, it does not have to play out that way, and you CAN end up getting her to fall in love with you, as long as you know what to do and of course, what NOT to do. So many men seem to end up making the SAME classic mistakes, and they don't even realize that they are doing it!

For most guys, they are trying what they have been taught to do and it's really not their fault. Society has a way of making men feel like they HAVE to do certain things to win a woman's love, and they are not always the best approach that you can take.

Here's how you can make a woman fall in love and NOT end up looking like a FOOL:

1. Don't brig romance into it right away.

Sure, you see it on television and in the movies. Some guy does all of these amazingly romantic things from the moment he meets a woman and it always works to make her fall in love. Well, in the real world, it does not always play out like this. You can actually make a woman feel a little uncomfortable by bring in the romance way too soon. The first few dates are more about getting to know each other and flirting, not making her fall madly in love with you.

2. Don't be the wishy washy type.

So, you get up the nerve to ask her out on a date and she asks you where you are going to take her. And you say something like, it's up to you. Well, in that moment, you just lost some points that you might have a hard time getting back with her. You have to be a little more confident and take charge and make the decisions. When you just act like the kind of guy that will let her make ALL of the decisions, you lose some of that natural attraction that a woman feels for a man.

3. DO make her feel comfortable around you.

While you should never suck up to a woman to make her fall in love, you SHOULD make her feel comfortable when she is around you. Some of the things that you need to AVOID that make a woman feel uncomfortable are: nervous body language, talking too fast, and improper eye contact. You need to be able to communicate with her that you are the kind of man that she can feel comfortable and have a GOOD time with.

Why Organic Cosmetics is the Future of the Cosmetics Industry

Skin care products are becoming a trend at the moment and is growing. Many supermarkets are increasing its offerings of organic food by 50% and as people are becoming more environmentally conscious, their interest in organic skin care and organic products has increased. Realizing the fact that what you put in your body is just as essential as what you put into your body, people are buying more organic skin care products which are without chemicals and pose less health harm in long-term. Similar to organic products, skin care products come from natural products and contain no harmful chemicals.

Organic products are regulated by US Department of Agriculture and has released guidelines to label organic products for example if something says "100% organic" it must contain all organic product but if it is simply labeled "organic" it can contain up to 5% of nonorganic material. Another example is if the labels says "made with organic ingredients" it usually contains 70% of organic material in it. If you are unsure if the product is organic or non-organic, please ask a supermarket personnel to assist you.

The organic cosmetic products are made from materials which have been grown naturally and have been certified pesticide free. Organic products are made without synthetic pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, hormones and chemical fertilizers. the US Department have been doing a great job in regulating the cosmetic companies and educating and making the consumers aware. FDA has warned cosmetic companies to eliminate dangerous chemicals or they will have to carry warning labels similar to cigarettes. These chemicals are dangerous because they can be hazardous and carcinogenic. according to research done by Canadian University, the traditional skin care treatment can contain about more than hundred chemicals on a woman's face, many of them hazardous. Thanks to the government regulation more and more organic products are coming out which are without the hazardous chemicals. There are many organic skin care products which can exfoliate, cleanse, condition, nourish, purify and hydrate the skin.

The organic skin care products are made from unrefined oils, cold-pressed, natural herb, organic fruits and flower extracts, nuts and seeds. A lemon and peach pits make great exfoliating scrub to scour dead skin cells and brighten one's complexion. Some other examples are orange peel oil, calendula and marshmallows. Rosewater are known for hydrating skin which becomes dry due to indoor heating in winter and using air conditioner in summer.

Women who have used organic skin care products, felt their skin was even more fresh and pure after using organic products and did not want to switch back to the old non-organic brands. Another great advantage of using organic skin care products is that they have a great pleasing fragrance which are made from flowers fruits and fruit oil which means you can combine and care with aromatherapy. The fragrance is used in various therapies to freshen the skin as well as lift the mood and spirit. In future, companies are hoping to replace non-organic skin care products with organic ones, thus ensuring the cosmetics using green and natural materials.

Face Care - Lush Cosmetics Mask of Magnaminty

I am not typical "I love everything Lush" type of girl. I tried to love it, but I found that a lot of the products were either too messy, didn't keep well or just smelled a bit crazy. So for me to recommend a Lush product means that in my opinion it actually does something, or smells amazing and it will not take you 20 mins to enjoy and 30 mins scrubbing micro glitters out of your tub (i.e. some of those damn bath bombs!) There are probably about 10 lush products that I really enjoy and today I am going to talk about one of them: Mask of Magnaminty!

This mask has given me one of the best, deepest, freshest cleanses I have ever received from a mask. It leaves my skin feeling tingly fresh - thanks to all the great mint- and actually quite vibrate looking. When I feel that my skin is starting to look a bit dull I slap this mask on for about 15-20mins wash of and ahh... glowing tingly fresh skin! I am not kidding when I say that my complexion looks better after a few uses. If you have blemishes and irritation and congestion in the skin I think that this mask might be worth a try.

It is quite a thick clay mask with bits in it - chunky bits that if you are not careful it will rub off and make a mess on the bathroom counter. Like most clay masks it takes a bit of work to get off you really have to use a lot of water - so I suggest putting on the mask before you shower and then removing it with a full stream of water from the shower nozzle - sink can be done but I am just sharing with you what I found easiest.

So the down low: The mask is great -but it is strong! if you have sensitive skin and it reddens easily I would maybe say stay away form this product. When it goes on it is soo strong and deep cleaning that it actually tingles quite a bit. I actually like the feeling because I feel that it is really working - but I wouldn't want you to come out looking like a lobster!! The great thing about Lush is they give samples - so if you are unsure about your skin type - or even the mask its self you can get a bit try it and see if it is a great match for you.
