Why women are pants at buying new underwear

Looking good: But only a third of women buy matching bra and knicker sets

A lady may look lovely when dressed to the nines - but what lies beneath could be a different story.

It is not until knickers turn grey and saggy, vests become full of holes and bra straps start fraying that most women decide to invest in some new garments, a study reveals.

Sixty per cent will only ever buy underwear when it needs replacing with just 31 per cent splashing out on bras and pants for special occasions, say market research analysts Mintel.

'Despite the return of saucy Burlesque shows by Dita von Teese and others, British women still take a functional and practical approach to underwear and clearly don't see it as something that can be really sexy and alluring,' says Mintel's senior fashion analyst Katrin Magnussen.

'The underwear industry needs to encourage women to go out there and spend their hard-earned cash on beautiful lingerie that makes them feel really special.

'We need to see more advertising that is fun but also seductive, as the last time we really saw anything along these lines was the "Hello boys!" campaign from Wonderbra, and that came out almost 15 years ago.'

TV programmes such as What Not To Wear and How To Look Good Naked recommend women should have a combination of structured underwear to look good and sets that are a little racier to feel good.

But only 34 per cent buy matching bras and knickers and 36 per cent still mainly purchase multipacks.

Sixty-three per cent spend less than £10 a month on their undies, with just 7 per cent forking out between £21 and £40 a month.

What is more, many women now also buy their smalls from value retailers and supermarkets.

Although Marks & Spencer still leads the way, with 51 per cent of women getting their underwear there, 48 per cent went to Tesco, Matalan, Primark or Asda for their bras and pants last year.

Giving Birth Won't Spoil Your Sex Life

Some women worry that having a vaginal delivery might wreak havoc on their long-term ability to enjoy sex.


Some women worry that having a vaginal delivery might wreak havoc on their long-term ability to enjoy sex. However, a new study has found that the method of delivery--vaginal, Cesarean or vaginal with forceps or vacuum--appears to have little impact on sexual activity one year after childbirth. But the study did find that a woman's sex life before delivery predicted what it would be like afterward.

Dutch researchers surveyed 377 women about their sex lives at 12 weeks into the pregnancy and at one year postpartum and found that those who were not having sex early in the pregnancy were 11 times more likely to be sexually inactive one year after childbirth. "This probably implies that satisfaction with the relationship is an important factor," says study author H.J. van Brummen, M.D., a researcher at University Medical Center Utrecht. The study should reassure women who give birth vaginally that, except in rare cases, physical factors following childbirth shouldn't affect sexual functioning. The scientists had guessed that undergoing a C-section would have less of an impact on later sexual functioning compared with vaginal delivery. "But there was no scientific evidence for that," van Brummen says. "Our study should resolve some of this fear [about vaginal delivery]."

When You're Ready for Sex but He Isn't

The cliche among the new-parent set is that men always want sex and women never do. But believe it or not, some fathers are not exactly chomping at the bit after the baby arrives.

When it comes to their interest in sex, new fathers fall into two camps, says Greg Dillon, M.D., a psychiatrist in New York City. One is those men who see maternity as sexy and find their wives alluring during pregnancy and all phases of new motherhood; the other camp is those who have trouble reconciling the concept of mother with that of sexual partner. Men in the latter group may be less than enthusiastic about getting back into the post-baby sexual groove for complex reasons.

Why he doesn't want it

"One piece of the puzzle for conflicted men is that seeing their wives nurture or care for a baby simply evokes a motherly image, which feels inconsistent with sexuality," says Dillon. "They don't want to equate sex with the images of motherhood."

This is partly because new fathers can't help but think of their own mother, either consciously or unconsciously, when seeing their wife with the baby. Also, fathers who witness childbirth—a wonderful experience but also one that can be disturbingly graphic—can find it traumatic. "His perception of her as a birth-giving mother may contradict his view of her as a lover, which could diminish his sex drive," says Dillon.

If a new father can't reconcile the concept of his wife as a mother and a sexual being and it negatively affects the couple's sex life, then he (or the couple) should seek help from a therapist—and soon. "Questions of sexual attraction can spiral quickly into low self-esteem for both parties and intractable dynamics," Dillon explains. "Guilt and embarrassment can make it hard for either partner to address the issues."

Another cause of alienation—and a far more common one—is the emotional impact of the new baby, says Dillon. The reality is that the presence of the baby plays a much bigger part in men's withdrawal from sex than they are willing to admit. The mother has a new love of her life, and many men feel ashamed of any negative feelings they might have.

"A husband may see his wife kissing the baby and have feelings of jealousy and being left out but be conflicted about confronting the issue," Dillon says, "so instead he shuts down and backs away."

What's a guy to do?

Men need first to address and work through any feelings of jealousy or competition with the new baby by understanding that love for the baby is different from romantic love and that one does not take away from the other, says Dillon. Then they can raise the subject with their partner in a constructive manner rather than a defensive one.

"For example," Dillon says, "he can say, 'I miss spending time alone with you' or 'I booked a sitter; can I take you out on a date?' This addresses his need to reassert his place as her object of romantic love and reassures her that she is attractive and desirable without posing a competitive stance with the new baby."

6 Ways To Keep Your Marriage Intact

Advice on how to keep your marriage happy and healthy.

1. Address marital conflicts before baby arrives. Issues that spark small disagreements before baby comes can cause all-out arguments when you add stress and sleep deprivation to the equation.

2. Avoid other high-stress situations at this time. If possible, put off changing jobs or moving to a new home around the time baby is due. “A lot of people buy a house when they’re expecting, and it’s the worst time,” says Los Angeles psychotherapist Marcia Bernstein, L.C.S.W. “You’re already going through a stressful transition.” Wait at least six months or whenever you resume some sense of a daily routine before taking on a new project or financial obligation.

3. Set limits on visits from relatives. A nonstop stream of house guests can challenge any marriage, but more so now than ever. Agree to time limits, communicate them to visitors and stick with those limits, suggests Bernstein.

4. Talk to other new parents. To be stuck in the house with a newborn for weeks on end can make both of you feel out of touch with the world and resentful. Reach out to other new parents who are in your neighborhood or whom you may have met in a childbirth-education class.

5. Adjust to the family bed. Sleeping together as a family in one bed has its advantages, but if you go the co-sleeping route, make sure you find other comfortable places in the house for cuddling and sex.

6. If the road gets rocky, seek help. Don’t wait until you’re on the verge of divorce to talk with a marriage counselor. Sometimes just a few sessions with a qualified therapist can open clogged lines of communication.

Common Sense Tips for Using Make Up and Skin Care

Although putting on make up is more a women as world there are some men that also apply it though they are in the minority. Men that use make up will do so more in the interests of skin care than for looking good. Many women use make up on a daily basis and this can be damaging to your skin in the long term. This will be even more so if the make up you are using is of poor quality. Saving a dollar or two may certainly be detrimental to your skin in the long run. Make up should only be used on healthy skin which is really self explanatory. There are a variety of excellent quality make up products on the market that are formulated using special moisturizers and added herbs that double as skin care in the make up itself. If you use make up regularly rather aim for these.

When using make up there are a few pointers that will help take care of your skin so that you will look good and your skin will not take a beating.

Here is a guide on make up and make up products that should help you maintain a beautiful skin:

1. When you buy make up products check out the ingredients they have and always but them with your skin care in mind. After all you will be applying them to your face and body so if they double as skin care then you know they will be worthwhile. If you buy make up that causes any sort of skin reaction or you see that you are allergic to it avoid it forever. Check for make up that has excessive alcohol content in it as these are a no-no. They will dry out all the natural oils you have in your skin.

2. Only use make up before the expiry date. If you have old cosmetics and make up on your dressing table or in your bathroom cabinet that are passed their ‘best by’ date dispose of them safely. Always Keep track of the expiry date on your skin care and make up products. It has been discovered that certain vitamin C products can expire well before the specified date so be careful if you prefer using these.

3. Cleansing your skin before applying make up is important. The same goes when removing make up at the end of the day. Naturally you have heard that it is not good for your skin to sleep with your make up on, so take time using a good make up cleanser followed by a quality moisturizer before bedtime which should be a good habit. You make up should also be in good condition. Keep lids tightly shut after you have used them and keep your eye liner pencils sharp and your lash enhancers sealed.

4. When applying makeup then tie your hair up or cover it with a towel especially if you are applying foundation. Naturally your hair care follows on to skin care so keep your hair clean is also part of the make up routine.

5. Take care of your nails properly and use quality nail varnish that has an ingredient in theta keeps your nails from chipping and splitting. Nail care beauticians like to apply a standard color and add a lacquer finish for extra sheen and strength. When you remove nail polish, always be sure to apply a good skin care moisturizer especially to your cuticle area. There are superb cuticle oils that you can find at the make up counter which contain aloe Vera and other herbal ingredients that are great for your hands.

6. When you use eye shadows use a light color if you have deep set eyes and rather use a liquid eye shadow rather than the pencil variety. This helps against smudging as well. If you pluck your eye brows rub in some skin moisturizer straight afterwards. If you are applying make up the following day try and pluck your eye brows the night before. Sometimes the area tends to become tender and swell. Make up may then cause a reaction with the area.

7. For people that suffer from blemishes and acne care needs to be taken with the choice of foundation products and make ups. Man made chemical types of make up can scar and cause even more damage to your skin. A beautician or qualified dermatologist can give you the right advice. There are products available for sensitive skins which can be used. Do not try and squeeze pimples because this can spread infection as well as cause scarring. There are hundreds of very effective products available for teenage acne and for adults that will solve the problem properly without hurting your skin the way squeezing will.

8. Purchase proper make up removers and complementing pads to clean off make up. Work over your entire facial area to make sure every bit of make up is removed and then following with a facial wash.

9. When using deodorants apply them by spraying at least 20cm away from your actual skin unless they are roll on. Do not apply deodorants and perfumes to the same part of your body where they may clash.

10. Take time to apply make up properly when you put it on. A slapdash job will look slapdash and may also be uncomfortable as well. Many women keep a small touch up make up purse in their handbags to repair little smudges and runs. Also keep a make up remover in the same bag as well ready for emergencies.

Make up and skin care goes hand in hand. The better you take care of your skin the longer you will enjoy a smooth elastic and young looking skin. That’s the secret to the film stars beautiful looking skin. Ensure you follow a proper skin care routine without exception with the best products available on the market.

How to Take Care of Your Skin

Many advertising dollars are spent on making us feel guilty if we do not follow a regime of skin care. However in the case of skin, less is more. The exhortation to `cleanse, tone, nourish and revitalise' is a catchcry designed to maintain the health of the cosmetic industry, not your skin.

If you are concerned about your own health, the next time you are tempted to buy an expensive elixir of youth in a jar, think again. Spend the money instead on sunscreen, and see your doctor for a mole check, learn breast self-exam-ination, and have a pap smear. You will still have enough money left to donate to your favourite charity, enjoy coffee with friends, and feel a warm inner glow.

Cleansing and maintenance

We clean our skin to remove the surface film of grime, dead skin cells and applied cosmetics mingled with sebum and sweat. The most effective way to do this is with soap and water, which is cheap and usually readily available. Soap and water are more effective than water alone as soap has adegreasing action; it dissolves the surface grease. Of course we are not trying to achieve `brighter than bright' or `cleaner than clean', so use a soap that is mild and non-irritating. If the skin is stripped of too much natural grease, the surface begins to flake and redden. Natural skin oil is produced for a purpose: it lubricates our skin surface and helps provide a barrier against irritating substances from the outside environment.

Cleansing creams and lotions range from thicker water in-oil types to more fluid oil-in-water types. They work by blending with the surface grime and debris (including dead surface cells), which can then be wiped or rinsed off. These may be used for cleaning the skin but are no more efficient than soap and water. In addition, they can leave a residue which may encourage pores to block and lead to blackheads. Acne sufferers should be especially wary of these products.

Astringents, often called toners or fresheners, are not recommended by dermatologists. These are based on alcohol, which is a solvent. Their use is not an essential part of skin care, as is often implied. They are simply degreasing agents and impart a pleasant tingle as the alcohol evaporates and cools the skin. They do not close pores as is often claimed. Apart from a possible psychological benefit, there is no advantage to be gained from using toners. Only use toners if you enjoy the feeling, provided you do not have dry skin as the alcohol will certainly add to the dryness.

Scrubs and exfoliating creams are often promoted as a superior method of cleaning the skin but they have no special usefulness for normal skin and are capable of making the skin irritated and dry. In any case, our skin exfoliates naturally without the need for extra help as we are constantly shedding dead surface cells in the form of minute invisible skin flakes. Sundamaged skin may benefit from some types of peeling creams or lotions.

Aishwarya Rai vs. Jessica Alba

Aishwarya Rai is a veteran and is definitely one of the most beautiful women in the world. I think we can all agree on that.

Jessica Alba is a relative newcomer and is quite a bit younger than Aishwarya. Aishwarya Rai is 34 years old and Jessica is only 26.

Jessica rose to fame on the television show Dark Angel and then broke into movies by starring in mostly comedy or action films. She was chosen by Ask.com as their number one most desirable woman in 2006.

Aishwarya Rai vs. Madhuri Dixit

Madhuri Dixit is a Bollywood icon. She dominated the media in the 1980's and 1990's and is still very active today. In fact, in 2007 Madhuri Dixit was named Bollywood's Best Actress Ever and received rave reviews for her latest 2007 film Aaja Nachle. It is only fitting that this contest be between who many people consider Madhuri Dixit's successor to being the best of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai. So, how about it? Tell us which one you prefer, which is most beautiful, which is sexiest, and whatever else you might want to tell us.

Know About Cellulite Information

Cellulite is the expression used to describe pockets of fat which are trapped and cause dimpling in the skin. This dimpling is irregular and patchy and has been identified with orange peel.

"Cellulite" is not a medical term. Medical authorities agree that cellulite is simply ordinary fatty tissue. Strands of fibrous tissue connect the skin to deeper tissue layers and also separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase in size, these compartments bulge and produce a waffled appearance of the skin. Many years ago, conducted a double-blind study of 100 people to see whether cellulite differed from ordinary fat. Specimens of regular fat and lumpy fat were obtained by a needle biopsy procedure and given to pathologists for analysis and comparison. No difference between the two was found.

As with any diet, you will have to exhibit some sense of control. A treat here and there won't damage your efforts, but losing control and pigging out on junk food will. Remember to eat healthy, balanced meals at least 3 time’s day. Skipping these important meals, contrary to you may think, does not help with cellulite reduction. Truth be told, it slows your metabolism down and makes you more susceptible to cellulite accumulation. Add more fruits & vegetables to your meals and even in between your daily meals. Once you eliminate fatty and sugar laden foods, you will be able to get rid of cellulite more easily.

Underneath the dermis and epidermis are three specific layers of fat. Cellulite tends to develop in the subcutaneous fat layers. This layer of fat is unique in its structure compared to the other layers because its fatty parts are structured into specific chambers by strands of linked tissue around it.

Buy a moisturizer that has a sunless tanner mixed in. The moisturizer will hydrate you skin and reduce the severity of the rippling. The sunless tanner will darken you skin making your cellulite less visible. This is a great cosmetic trick to hide cellulite while you work on lowering your body fat content.

Another reason men tend to not accumulate cellulite is because they have tougher skin corium (dermis) which doesn’t allow a build up of fat to collect. Men therefore have smoother, tighter skin than women do. Another major factor is hormonal reasons.

However, there is a clear association between excess fat and cellulite. The enlarged fat cells put pressure on connective tissue which affects the skin's smoothness and tautness. To keep the layer of connective tissue between the fat cells supple, eat foods rich in bioflavonoids and vitamin C.

After your anti-cellulite workout, hop into the sauna, or steamy bath. Both these treatments help to open up our sweat pores thereby increasing the elimination of toxins.

When it comes to the effects of diet and exercise on your cellulite, the jury is still out. Many people believe that because cellulite is not like "normal" fat, you cannot get rid of it with "normal" fat burning exercises. One thing is certain though. With diet and exercise, you can prevent the accumulation of more cellulite.

How to Treat Eczema at Home Fast?

Eczema is a type of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. Eczema can be triggered by just about anything occuring in contact with the skin. It happens in atopic people, who are extra sensitive to skin irritation.
Nearly 10 percent to 20 percent of the world population is affected by this chronic, recidivating, and very itchy rash at some point during childhood. For some, the disease will amend with time.

Eczema, or dermatitis as it is sometimes called, is a group of skin conditions which can affect all age groups. The severity of the disease can vary. Our goal is to share our home remedy for eczema treatment with you. In mild forms the skin is dry, hot and itchy, while in more severe forms the skin can become broken, raw and bleeding. Eczema is not contagious. With our home remedy for eczema treatment the inflammation of eczema can be reduced, though the skin will always be sensitive to flare-ups and need extra care. The disease can occur at any age but is most common in infants to young adults, and about 50 % of eczema sufferers are affected throughout life

Moist, supple skin is less likely to itch. It’s always surprising how many eczema sufferers don’t know this, or worse yet do know it but don’t do anything about it. A simple moisturising regime can be a great Eczema home treatment. It’s recommended that you use a good quality moisturiser at least twice a day (morning and night). It’s also worth noting that perfuming agents can sometimes be irritating to skin, so if you can find an unperfumed moisturiser you may be better off.

Diet never causes eczema. Food only causes allergy, it does not cause eczema. It is the genes of a person that cause eczema. If you are allergic or sensitive to certain foods then try avoiding them, because they can trigger eczema. Dairy products, eggs, nuts, preservatives and citrus fruits are more likely to trigger eczema.

Seborrhoeic eczema is common in babies under one, although adults can get it too. The rash is greasy and it usually starts on the scalp (this is sometimes called cradle cap in babies) and can then spread to other areas. It usually clears up in babies by the time they are one but can go on for a number of years in adults.

Coconut oil may be applied to the portions with eczema. It will help the skin to stay soft. Walking or jogging should be resorted to in order to activate the bowels. Sunbathing is also beneficial as it kills the harmful bacteria and should be resorted to early in the morning, in the first light of dawn. A light mudpack applied over the sites of the eczema is also helpful. The pack should be applied for an hour at a time and should be repeated twice or thrice a day.

Rub nutmeg against a smooth stone with a few drops of water. Make a smooth paste. Apply.

Antiperspirants and Deodorants- are They Same?

What is a deodorant?

A deodorant is a product that leaves a pleasant smell upon the skin. This smell masks body odor. A deodorant need not contain any active ingredient to stop perspiration. That is done by antiperspirants.

What is an antiperspirant?

Antiperspirants have an active ingredient that blocks the sweat in the glands. By blocking the sweat producing glands the Antiperspirants effectively stops the sweat coming out. Aluminum-based compounds are used as active ingredients in Antiperspirants. The most common and preferred compound in use now is- Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Glycine. US FDA has approved many other compunds of aluminium for use as Antiperspirant. But the preferred one is - Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Glycine.

US FDA categorizes Antiperspirants as OTC drug while it categorizes Deodorants as cosmetics. To get US FDA certification the Antiperspirant must comply with the conditions set by FDA. So look for US FDA approval on the pack if you have any doubt.

Use-

The manufacturer gives guideline for use of the Antiperspirants. Remember that the places where you may be using Antiperspirants such as groin area, and underarms have sensitive sin. Also these areas receive very less air and skin-to-skin contact is present most of the times. This can cause allergic reactions in many people. Use the Antiperspirants in little quantity to begin with and watch for reactions.

How To Choose an Antiperspirant-

The choice may depend on the fragrance used in the product. Ideally one should use Antiperspirants that has no fragrance to avoid allergic reactions. But most of us want our Antiperspirants to smell good.

The feel after application on the skin may be another factor. And most important - how much the product works for you? Does it stop perspiration completely for about 24 hours? If yes, that is one for you. Next time you are looking to fight problem of perspiration, read the product label carefully to know if it is only perfume or an antiperspirant.

Type of Sweat and Body Odor

Many of us are troubled with body odor. Those of us who have body odor detest it and try various methods to fight that. The first thing all of us do is - use deodorants. Do deodorants remove body odor? No, they only mask it and as the deodorant evaporates the body odor becomes prominent again. The need is to fight the odor itself rather than mask it. How to do that? To find out, let us know more about sweat that causes body odor.

Sweat is the body's natural defense to maintain body temperature. By sweating, the body cools itself of the heat that may get generated because of outside temperature, physical work, and emotional stress. Some diseases can also cause sweating. For that, you should consult your doctor.

Have you noticed the places on your body from where you get maximum body odor? They are armpits and genital areas. Why? Because they produce sweat of a different kind compared to sweat produced by other body parts. Do types of sweat glands.

Our body has two types of sweat glands- Eccrine sweat glands and Apocrine sweat glands.Eccrine glands are distributed all over the body. Apocrine sweat glands are located on the scalp, armpits and the genital area. Eccrine sweat contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia. Apocrine glands produce sweat that contains fatty matter. The body odor is mainly caused by Apocrine sweat. That is why you get more body smell in your armpits and genital area but not on your hands or legs.

Sweat is generally odorless. Most of the times, it is the bacterial disintegration of sweat of both the types that produces odor. It is the Apocrine sweat that causes more of body odor. To stop body odor, the need is to remove sweat as it accumulates on the skin and to reduce bacteria that thrives on the sweat and produces odor. Use of a good anti bacterial soap can reduce bacteria to a substantial extent. Those who are more troubled by this problem of body odor also use antiperspirants. As antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweat considerably, the problem of body odor is taken care of.

To conclude- Use an antiperspirant if you sweat excessively. Use anti bacterial soap to kill the odor-producing bacteria. Do not wear the clothes after drying them of sweat. That stale sweat will cause lot of odor. Use clothes after washing them again.

Body Rashes – Home Remedies for Body Rashes

Body rash is a common problem that can affect virtually any person. It is a kind of inflammation or eruption that takes place on the surface of skin. Talking about the body rash symptoms, red color blisters occur on the skin that can be itchy or non itchy. When such body rashes develop, the texture of the skin changes. Also, there is a burning sensation on the affected area.Body rashes may or may not be contagious. Some of the body rashes affect the whole body (termed as a generalized), where as others appear on discrete areas of the skin (termed as a localized). Skin rashes can be self limiting or require medications.

Body rash is an inflammation on the surface of the skin. Due to this, the skin color and texture changes. It is often associated with itching, stinging or a burning sensation. This sudden outbreak of rashes could be due to a new cosmetic cream, allergic food reaction or an irritation. Allergies can be caused by food, plants, animals, insects or any chemicals. All body rashes are not contagious, but some of them are.

The rash begins as discrete macules (red spots) on the face that spread to the neck, trunk, and extremities. The macules may coalesce on the trunk. Appearance of the rash corresponds with the appearance of rubella-specific antibody. The exanthem lasts 1-3 days, first leaving the face and may be followed by desquamation. On occasion a nonspecific enanthem (Forscheimer's spots) of pinpoint red macules and petechiae can be seen over the soft palate and uvula just before or with the exanthem. The hallmark of rubella is the generalized tender lymphadenopathy which involves all nodes, but which is most striking in the suboccipital, postauricular, and anterior and posterior cervical nodes.

High Forehead - Long thinned bangs, in a straight line in relation to the eyebrows.

Low Forehead - Shorter, fuller bangs, in a straight uniform line.

Wide Forehead - A symmetrical bangs for a free look while concealing the wide area of the forehead.

Also, remember to cut split ends when visiting your hair stylist. Although you can't heal split ends, only minimize the damage. If you happen to notice the appearance of split or broken ends in your hair, the ultimate solution will be to cut them. The average cut is about two to three centimeter.

It's very important to make sure you don't forget to get reed of your damaging split ends every few months.

After having a professional styling, women tend to neglect their hair. Hair is to be taken care of, if you want to prolong the effect of the cut you've just had.

You only have to remember this basic rule: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

In short, after washing your hair, apply moisturizer. Pay attention to correctly scattering the moisturizer, while not applying high amounts of the product. The amount of the moisturizer should be sparse, yet properly sprinkled on the hair. The moisturizers aim is to give your hair elasticity and avoid immovability.

Though you should remember that after applying hair styling products, one should wash their hair and go to sleep with product free hair and scalp in order to allow proper blood flow in the skin.

Grow Your Hair Longer and Stonger

If you are looking for ways to grow longer, stronger hair or stop hair loss you've come to the right place. Forget expensive treatments, there are 5 easy things you can do to improve your hair's health that won't cost you a fortune.

One: Take Vitamins

When your mother told you to take your vitamins, she knew what she was talking about. Though genetics play a great part in your ability to grow and maintain a healthy head of hair, taking vitamins and eating a good, nutritionally balanced diet play an essential part in the hair growth process.

What types of vitamins should I take?

There are a multitude of vitamins that can contribute to healthy hair and longer hair. You should start your regimen with those most specifically linked to stronger, longer hair.

Biotin

The body needs Biotin to grow cells and maintain blood sugar levels. Along with growing hair, it also grows and strengthens your nails so, taking it has an added bonus for your overall appearance. You should take somewhere between 150 ��" 300 mcg daily to produce the results you want.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is one of the most essential vitamins to the hair growth process. Aside from this, it fights free radicals which damage cells. Vitamin A, however, should not be overused. Overuse can do more harm to hair than good so, keep it to a daily maximum of 5,000 IU.

Vitamin B12

The great thing about B12 is that you’re probably already getting your fill of this, no supplements needed. B12 is found in chicken, eggs, and meat. Yum, yum. Though you’re probably already getting a good amount of this in your favorite dishes, the recommended amount is 2 mg.

Vitamin C

Down a glass of Florida gold and make your hair shine. Citrus fruits are excellent for the hair as exemplified by the rash of hair products with citrus fruit ingredients. Taking 60 mg of Vitamin C daily can improve hair health and help you fight colds all at the same time!

Two: Stimulate Your Scalp

Despite old wives tales to the contrary, brushing the hair from root to tip is not a good idea and can actually be counterproductive to what you’re trying to accomplish. The scalp, on the other hand, needs a little extra TLC (tender lovin’ care for the acronym-challenged).

Separating your hair into sections and moving a brush across in a down ward motion across your scalp will be enough to bring your scalp back to life and removes debris collected in your hair follicles. This should be done every other night. Some experts suggest tapping the scalp with a brush type like a boar’s bristle to stimulate the scalp.

Third: Oil Your Scalp

For those with ethnic hair, oil is key to maintaining a healthy scalp.

Even if you don’t have an ethnic hair texture, the hair must have moisture to prevent damage and breakage, but for ethnic hair, which is prone to brittleness, this step is absolutely MANDATORY.

Fourth: Trim Your Ends

We have all seen them, the girls with uneven hair. Some is long, some is short and damaged. Or, the ones with long hair but it’s frizzy and unmanageable. Please don’t be one of these girls.

If you are or to keep from becoming one, get your split ends cut immediately. It is a good habit to get your ends trimmed monthly to prevent split ends and keeping existing split ends from doing major damage to the rest of your hair. When my hair was damaged, the first thing I did was cut my hair into a short bob to even it out and get rid of the damaged ends.

Fifth: Condition Your Hair

When hair gets dry it breaks. That is a fact. The more alcohol-based products you use and the more heat styling you do, the less moisture is retained in the hair. It becomes brittle and damaged and that leads to breakage. If you can’t do without those heat styling products and the only product that tames your hair has alcohol content, the best way to protect your hair with regular use of a conditioner.

How To Care For Your Sterling Silver Jewelry

Nothing can quite beat the sheer elegance of sterling silver. The brilliance of silver jewelry appeals to almost every person of any age, even regardless of gender. However, it also possesses that sublime sophistication that gold jewelry always seems to overdo. If you seem to disagree with this simple statement, think of a person - any person, for that matter - wearing a load of just sterling silver jewelry. Let's deck that person in a few sterling silver earrings. Then let's try placing silver ropes around that person's neck. We can add a couple of silver rings to go along. And for good measure, we will even throw in one or two silver toe rings. And what do you have? You see nothing more but everyday wear. Now, picture that same person wearing the same exact jewelry, only this time, turn every piece that we imagined into gold. Now what do you have? You see a person imitating a fully lit Christmas tree.

We are exaggerating, of course. Nonetheless, this fully illustrates the sublime sophistication which is found probably only in sterling silver jewelry. In fact, if you want, you can mix and match sterling silver jewelry with any other gem or mineral and it will still look pretty chic. Only few kinds of jewelry can achieve this kind of versatility while keeping a sort of utter sophistication and elegance. Cubic zirconia jewelry or CZ jewelry, particularly CZ rings and CZ earrings are often paired with silver. And you guessed it; this combination always manages to look wonderful.

However, in order to maintain that brilliance, you should primarily know how to give your sterling silver jewelry the proper attention it needs. After all, how will you be able to enjoy your sterling silver jewelry if it is not in its ultimately best condition? The first thing that you should keep in mind is that you need to treat your silver exactly as it is worth. You certainly would not wear your best dress to do menial chores around the house or do harsh corrosive applications, now would you? You would want to treat your sterling silver jewelry basically the same way. It would be best if you could shield your jewelry from scratching or from harmful substances (like acids, bleaches, paint, etc.). The best option is probably to take your sterling silver jewelry off while in contact with these harmful substances.

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that an occasional cleaning with silver-safe jewelry cleaners could do you some good as well. Over time, a build up or residue from months (even years) of use can cause silver to tarnish and look aged (somewhat gray and yellow in discoloration). With that said, you might want to schedule a habitual cleaning to keep your jewelry as clean as possible all the time. However, you should be careful when cleaning your sterling silver. This is especially if it is matched with other gemstones or minerals. Sterling silver jewelry indeed has an unparalleled sophistication and elegance. However, you should always maintain your jewelry to always keep it at its best.

Beware of Work at Home Scams for Work At Home Moms

If you need to make money at home, you've no doubt starting looking for work at home opportunities. Every woman who wants to become a Wahm has traveled down the same path. Unfortunately, that path is littered with scams and traps to take money and time from honest women looking to make money from home. With a little common sense and extra research, you can find legitimate work at home opportunities.

The first step is to search for jobs in the right places. Don't simply click on ads to find work. Try to find helpful groups of Wahms who have successful work at home jobs to guide your search. You can try searching on message boards or finding e-mail groups for ideas of where to start your work at home job search. Many of these women can give you insight into which work at home opportunities are actually worth your time.

Keep in mind that there are no real ways to get rich quick on the Internet or by working at home. The only people who get rich are those who are scamming others. Never believe an ad or an "employer" who claims that you will get rich instantly.

There are also a few red flags to look for when you are searching for Internet jobs. You should never have to pay for work or job lists. There are plenty of free listings available that can provide tons of work at home opportunities. Companies that want to charge you for lists of jobs are just trying to get your money. The lists are often filled with dead job leads, or lists of companies that want to charge you money. Many work at home scams will also require you to pay a start-up fee or cover the cost of "necessary" training. Again, legitimate jobs will never require you to pay them any money for you to work.

Another warning sign is if the ad or website tells you to "act now." You should always do research before joining a company and never feel pressured to make a decision right away. Many websites are set up with text that says that the offer will expire on today's date. But if you revisit that website the next day, the ad says that the offer expires on that day.

If you are unsure about a company, do some research on the Better Business Bureau website. The BBB has files on all businesses that have had complaints filed against them. You can see what other people have to say about a particular company and be steered away from scams.

There are some scams that have been around for years that should be avoided at all costs. These business scams have unfortunately been successful for the scammers, so they continue to take the money and time of hardworking Wahms. If you see an offer for any of the following types of jobs, run the other way.

Envelope stuffing is a common scam, although it is being seen less and less these days. These jobs are normally listed as mail service jobs, and then you are asked to pay for a start up kit. After you receive a start up kit, you are given instructions to place your own work at home ads. You basically just sell the start up kit to other people and become a scammer.

Craft assembly scams can take many forms. Typically, you receive a set of crafts to complete with instructions. You generally pay for the set and then are told you will be reimbursed for the kits and also paid for their assembly. After working hard at assembling the kits and returning them, you will be told that your work is not up to their quality standards. You will be out the cost of the kits, and they will sell your crafts anyway.

There are legitimate jobs out there for Wahms, but you have to do some research on the opportunities first. With a little time and careful analysis you can find a work at home job that will be rewarding and scam free.

The best work at home job is still to start your own "Niche" business. Everyone has experience at something and/or a passion for certain hobbies, etc. What you don't know you can quickly learn and become more knowledgeable than 98% of the people who might visit your site. Once people find you are the authority for the Niche they will flock to your site for your advice, services and/or products.

The Reasons Why Relationships Break Up - A Woman's Point Of View

It is never easy when a relationship breaks down, what started out so positive and happy can often end with tears. So what are the reasons for some of these break ups? In this article my colleague at work explains why she thinks, from her personal experience, relationships can turn sour.

At the start of most relationships there is often an air of excitement and a great deal of passion. There is a saying that suggests that the key to a man's heart is via his stomach, I would disagree. In my opinion if his manhood is seeing plenty of action, the man is normally all sweetness and light. At this early stage the woman is normally quite awestruck and can be quite adventurous sexually, willing to do almost anything to keep her man happy. This early period of sexual discovery can be very intense and exciting for us women.

During these early periods, possibly due to all of this regular passion, a woman is often showered with gifts and attention. This makes her feel like a queen and very much loved. This is exactly how the majority of women want to feel.

The sad reality is that this passion often reduces after only a few months and the women start to want new things out of the relationship, such as emotional support and a person to discuss important matters with.

A man can see this lack of bedroom action as a sign of their partner going off them and do not seem to understand that this early passion has reduced naturally. Suddenly the gifts start to become few and far between as does any form of compliment. It is like a man's way of getting the woman back.

All of this can lead to a great deal of resentment on both sides and this is the slippery slope to many a breakdown.

Natural breast enlargement is safe and effective. In this article, we will review some methods such as exercise, creams, massage and natural herbal breast pills.

Let's start with some simple methods that work to naturally enlarge breasts. The old tried and true exercises don't actually increase breast tissue size, but do build up the supporting muscles under and around the breasts, giving the appearance of larger breasts.

I will explain how to enlarge breasts naturally with some of the exercises that follow.

1. Push ups - These are great for building up the muscles in the center of the chest, between the breasts. This gives you more cleavage, and will firm and lift the breasts.

2. Dumbell Press - Lying on your back, hold an 8 to 10 lb. dumbell in each hand. With elbows bent at a 90 degree angle and upper arms resting on the floor, raise weight straight up toward ceiling. Bring arms back down to starting position. Repeat 12-15 times.

3. Dumbell Fly - Lying again on back, hold weights in each hand, arms stetched straight out from your shoulders on floor, palms facing upward. Raise weights straight up from the side, keeping arms straight, until they meet when arms are pointing toward ceiling. Lower arms straight out to sides again, and repeat 12-15 times.

These exercises will help give the appearance of bigger breasts. Now we will go into the methods that actually do enlarge breasts naturally.

Some breast creams do a wonderful job of increasing breast size. Many contain hormones (mostly estrogen and progesterin) that when massaged into the breast tissue, help to enlarge breasts over time. If used daily, these creams can be very effective for most people. The simple act of the massage itself also help.

Another popular method used to enlarge breasts naturally are pills containing natural ingredients. While not all breast enlargement pills are safe, most herbal supplements are. You should always make sure you know what the ingredients are before taking any type of supplement or pill.

Some of the ingredients that are found in the most popular breast pills are:

Saw Palmetto Wild Yam Fenugreek Dong Quai

and many others. Most supplements contain 15 to 20 different herbs.

There are many options for increasing breast size. Check them out, and see what is right for you. You may choose to use a combination of methods, but whatever you do, you can enlarge your breasts naturally without going to drastic measures!

Corset: a Sexual Detail

Although corset is known as a detail mostly worn by women for beauty purposes, it may also be worn by men, as it has a medical function as well. This style detail has been extremely popular in middle ages and it's getting on top once again.

Corset is a garment worn to mold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes. They are typically constructed of flexible material, such as cloth or leather, stiffened with boning inserted into channels into it and held together by laces in front or back of it.

Corsets as they were worn in Middle Ages were used by almost all women and were surely most fashionable. Sometimes they even caused serious health problems, because women who worn them wanted their torso to be as slim as possible, and they didn't pay any attention to health risks.

Nowadays, women wear corset for the same purpose, yet they usually don't get too far. Corset is now used to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women, this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure by reducing the waist and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips, while men use corsets to simply slim the figure.

Corset is considered to be a sexual detail, because as mentioned before, it's the best way to exaggerate the bust and hips while reducing waist, which makes the figure extremely feminine, therefore, sexy. Just like everything else, wearing corset has some advantages and disadvantages

First of all let's discuss health benefits and drawbacks. The benefits are: corset promotes good posture and they can reduce pain and improve function for people with back problems. Yet, they can cause Glenard's disease; deform lower ribs, which may lead to organ failure or dehydration. Wearing a corset may also deform stomach and liver.

While talking about personal advantages, corsets may give a straight posture, instantly reduce the waistline and spread the weight of big gowns. Some corset wearers enjoy the feeling of being "hugged" by corset and they also make people feel warmer. Moreover, the abdominal pressure maintenance by frequent corset use can help wearers reduce body fat by inhibiting the appetite without conscious dieting, slimming drugs or cosmetic surgery. However, it's rather difficult to get used to wearing corset. If the wearer is unaccustomed to shallow breathing, the muscles soon tire and work too slow, severely reducing oxygen supply. That's why it is important that the corset lengthens the waist.

It is recommended for those who are planning to wear corset to get used to it by practicing shallow breathing and don't tighten it very hard. Getting is to maximum tightened corset must be performed gradually in order not cause health problems.

As far as corsets are getting back on top, be sure you won't make a mistake by purchasing one. Just make sure you are using it properly so it wouldn't cause you any inconveniences. When you'll get used to wearing it and will be able to tighten it as much as possible, have no doubts you'll look excessively sexy.

Requirements for Male Models

Although guys have the most range in the modeling industry, the requirements for common men is a secret. In comparison with female requirements, the conclusion is clear: it's surely a lot easier for men to get into the industry than for women. Are you thinking of becoming a model as well? Here are those almost secretly kept requirements.

Let's start with age, which varies from 15 to 50 and plus. The strongest market is 25-35. Yet, the biggest call is for the male models between 30 and 40. If you have a very strong look and good body, be sure you'll get a lot of offers. No matter what age you are, as far as industries lack male models, you will get a job without facing many difficulties.

The height ranges from 5'10 to 6'2. Although the range is reasonably wide, most fashion models are from 6 to 6'1. Just as with female modeling, there are various types of male modeling (body part, face, petite, teen, adult etc.). Therefore, it doesn't matter what your height is, you are sure to find something suitable for yourself.

Clothing size is standard around 40reqular - 42long. You must have a good body as well. Muscle and tone with strong abs is surely a great advantage and in some cases necessity, but you must also have smooth skin. Any male model must work out; it's very helpful for your career. You are surely more likely to have better offers if you have a muscular body.

Skin care is one of the most important things if you want to become a model. Basic care is surely not enough. Male models must forget standards that concern hairy body. Your body must be hairless and your skin has to be smooth.

There are no special requirements concerning hairdos. Yet, if you have fashionable hair style, it's a great advantage. Don't forget that hair is a very important part of your body and style. Take care of it, use a conditioner. Beautiful hair may be key to getting into the industry.

Don't forget to take care of your nails. As far as your body is your working tool, you must look perfect, yet manly. Every small detail is important, especially when you are presenting yourself to a new client. Yet, a well-cared body is a great benefit not only in work but in your daily life too.

Although modeling agencies are always searching for male models and the demand is great, your character is also very important. You have to be pleasant and easy to work with, and learn fast. Although sometimes work may seem exhausting, never show anger or nervousness. Be friendly to people you work with and you'll surely make new contacts, which are vital in the modeling industry.

Fact remains fact: it's a lot easier for men to get to the modeling industry. Yet, you should take care of your body and character if you want to become a really famous model. Just don't get too far; manliness is the secret in this case.
