| 7 Feng Shui Tips to Make Your Bedroom More Sleep-Friendly … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 11:21 AM PDT  Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science that was developed more than 3,000 years ago. The two words 'Feng' and 'Shui' mean 'wind' and 'water'. Since both these elements are associated with good health and fortune, good Feng Shui aims to restore balance of energy to a living space so as to facilitate the flow of good fortune. If you've been complaining about poor sleep off late, Feng Shui comes to your rescue with some tips that will make your bedroom more slumber friendly. Let's get started on making some changes to your bedroom. 1. Reduce ClutterAccording to Feng Shui a messy space represents unfinished business which leads to an over anxious state of mind. For this reason, reduce clutter in your bedroom – pack everything away into boxes or baskets, stack the books away neatly, and put away all your clothes into the cupboard. The less clutter there is in your room, the better for your sleep cycle. 2. Bring in Living ChiPlants symbolize 'living chi' or 'living energy'. In addition, Chinese believe that they are instrumental in inviting 'health chi' into the bedroom. Besides, studies indicate that simply looking at lush green plants help significantly in lowering blood pressure. If you don't have a green thumb you can make do with silk plants, provided you don't allow them to gather dust and clean them regularly. 3. Make yourself feel goodIf you want your bedroom to be truly restorative and soothing, it's quite okay for you to go ahead and indulge your senses a bit. Throw in a plush rug, buy a few satin bed sheets, or invest in a mattress you can sink into. You could also try aromatherapy to help calm you down. |
| 7 Reasons to Try the Raw Foods Diet … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 11:12 AM PDT  If you've never heard of the raw foods diet, it may sound a little frightening and off-putting — do you eat raw meat? Uncooked foods only? But that's not really how it works. Most raw foods diets include eating fresh fruits and vegetables, along with plenty of chilled beans, sushi, and raw dairy products. It's easy to follow, delicious to eat, and has plenty of health benefits. Be warned, though: it's not for everyone, so proceed with caution if you're a true carnivore! Here are 7 reasons to try the raw foods diet. 1. It's healthfulEating a raw foods diet will almost certainly lower your cholesterol and, since it's low in sodium, it may also help lower high blood pressure… it's also been shown to reduce fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis pain, and will also lower your risk of obesity and it may even drastically lower your risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Wow! 2. It's easySince you're truly only eating food that needs only be rinsed and consumed, with no recipes to follow, it's an extremely easy diet to follow! You still need to make sure you're consuming enough of each of the food groups, but aside from that, you can forget tough recipes, big kitchen messes, and even dirty pots and pans. 3. You won't feel hungryI found that when I followed a raw foods diet, I was eating small meals throughout the day, rather than two or three big meals. Because I was eating a little every couple of hours, I was never hungry! What a bonus! |
| 8 Jobs To Leave To The Professionals … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 10:51 AM PDT  While it may save you money to do jobs around the house yourself, sometimes it can be a very false economy. At worst, doing a job that you don't have adequate knowledge of can be downright dangerous. If you really know what you are doing, then go ahead. If you don't, then save yourself a lot of hassle and hire a professional. Here are some jobs that should be left to the experts. 1. ElectricsThis is something that you really shouldn't mess with – unless you want to make your hair stand on end! The potential for disaster is enormous, so just don't risk it. An amateur electrician could not only hurt or even kill themselves, but also cause a fire. 2. Car RepairsAgain, this is something that could be potentially dangerous. It's one thing doing small maintenance jobs like topping up the oil, but anything mechanical should be left well alone unless you know what you're doing. You really don't want the car to go wrong when you're driving it … 3. GasDo you want to blow your house up? I didn't think so! As with the electrics, a gas supply or appliance is something that should be left well alone. People train to deal with these things, so let them do their job. It's one of those things that is not worth attempting to economise. |
| 7 Tips to Dressing for The Office Party … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 10:40 AM PDT  Office parties can be tricky. You want to look a little more glam than usual but it's important to remember that you're still in a professional environment. Striking the right balance between office and fun is a real artform and to help you hit the perfect note, I've put together a list of 7 tips to dressing for the office party. 1. Work with Your Work WearDon't bring a whole new outfit to work and change when the clock strikes five. Instead, wear something adaptable that you can transform after hours. This way, you'll be able to maintain an appropriate sense of professionalism, and you won't need to lug an extra bag into the office. 2. Show Some SkinOn an ordinary day at the office, too much décolletage is obviously going to land you in trouble. In preparation for the party, however, it's totally fine to undo another button – but do stop at one. Remember, too much cleavage will be inappropriate. Alternatively, wear a dress and jacket instead of your ordinary suit and simply shrug off the outer layer at the end of the day. Bare shoulders and arms will add exactly the right sense of glamour to your office look. Make sure you've applied a good moisturiser or body illuminator to give skin a beautiful, iridescent glow. 3. Fabric MattersInstead of everyday linen and wool blends, throw something a little festive into the work-wear mix. Wear a sheer silk shirt under your suit and simply slip off the jacket when five o clock rolls around. A little figure hugging velvet can be great too – just don't go overboard with this one. It hot and too much of it tends to make you look a little OTT. |

| Posted: 21 Apr 2011 10:00 AM PDT  Thomas Edison. Ben Franklin. Eli Whitney. Leonardo da Vinci. These are all famous male inventors and, to hear it told, you’d think they were the only inventors, ever. However, a great many women have impacted the world in ways many of us have never even heard of. There are so many meaningful women who have made important inventions; I always find it a shame that they’re rarely as highlighted as their male counterparts. So, forget that: here are some of the best female inventors, and what they created. 1. Marie CurieMadame Marie Curie is probably the most well known of the best female inventors out there, and with good reason. Some people don’t understand why essentially inventing radioactivity, or at least harnessing its use, is so important, but when you look to modern day medicine, it’s easy to understand. Perhaps even more importantly, this woman is still a beacon to all girls that it’s okay to be different, to be into science, and that you don’t need to listen to those myths – which still exist today – that medicine is an entirely male dominated world. 2. Hedy LamarrBeautiful Hedy is predominantly known for being a star of the silver screen, but that was only one of her talents. Believe it or not, she is largely responsible for the Allies winning World War II, and is also largely responsible for the spread spectrum which today allows for radio transmissions and the like. Ms. Lamarr invented a system that allowed the Allied soldiers to communicate in top secret code, keeping their plans and strategies secret from the enemy. 3. Catherine GreeneYou know that phrase, "behind every great man is an even better woman," right? Well, many of the best female inventors prove that statement is true at least some of the time, and Catherine Greene is one of them. It is been proven pretty successfully that she gave Eli Whitney the idea for the cotton gin, and actually improved his original design, which included faulty wooden teeth. |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:58 AM PDT  Fighting is always an unpleasant experience, more so if the fight is with a loved one. Feelings have been hurt, there is misunderstanding that seems like it just cannot be resolved, tempers are flaring- the whole situation feels miserable. Just like there are many reasons that lead to a fight, there are many ways to end a fight. Here are 7 ways to end a fight. 1. Admit that you are wrongIf you really are in the wrong, admitting the fact is one of the best ways to end a fight. Not only will you end the fight, you will also earn the respect of the person you are fighting with for being brave enough to acknowledge your mistakes. 2. Swallow your pridePride goes before the fall, they say and it is true. Sometimes, a fight reaches a stage where it doesn't matter what caused the fight or who started it. Both parties have said and done things to hurt each other. Swallow your pride and apologize for your behavior. The ball is now in their court. 3. Write it downThis is one of the best ways to end a fight because it helps clear your head. Write everything down as objectively as possible and then review the situation. Make sure you do this when you are feeling calm and composed. If you find you are in the wrong, promptly apologize. If you find that the other person is wrong, let him or her know exactly how you feel, but do this calmly. |
| 8 Signs He’s about to Dump You … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:45 AM PDT  No one wants to think about the possibility that a breakup is about to happen, especially when the break up is between you and your current beau. Do you feel your man is acting a bit strange at times? Take a look at these 8 signs he's about to dump you and see if any of them ring a bell. I'm not saying that all of these pertain to every guy about to break up with his girlfriend, but they are very common. 8. He spends more time away from youDo you feel like you never see him anymore? If you call him, can you hear lots of background noise that signifies he's hanging out some place fun without you? When a guy starts spending more time hanging out with the guys and less time with you, then this could be a sign a breakup is in progress. 7. He’s started avoiding sex with youSometimes guys go through a difficult and don't want to share their problems with their girlfriend. This doesn't always mean they are about to dump their girlfriend, but it does put at least some doubt in the girl's head. A lot of times these problems can put strain on a guy's sex life. If you've noticed a slow decrease in sex, then you might try talking to him and see what you can find out. 6. He’s becoming less affectionateIf he hasn't flat out started avoiding sex with you, then he possibly has started being less affectionate; doesn't hold hands in public anymore, shies away from your touch, removes your hand from his arm or thigh when you place it there, or kissing you on the forehead when he leaves. Any of these are signs that something is amiss, unless your man has always acted this way. Not all guys are lovey-dovey with their girl. |

| 7 Weirdest Ownership Claims Ever … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:01 AM PDT  Having your neighbor eyeballing your backyard or your mother in law acting like she owns your behind from the moment you've signed the papers can be pretty frustrating. However, no matter how bad and annoying it often gets, those are still not the most outrages or weirdest ownership claims ever. After all, there are at least 10 people in your country (only) that could relate to that. Now, the claims I'm about to mention now go beyond just talk or everything you've ever imagined and they are definitely and totally crazy. So, check out this list of 7 weirdest ownership claims ever and see for yourself. 1. SunWanna stick your flag and claim a planet or maybe even a star? Well, go ahead! One woman already owns Sun so that leaves Moon, Saturn, Pluto, Venus, Mars etc. I know, I know, you're probably thinking that this is one of the weirdest ownership claims ever but wait, wait. You haven't heard the best part yet! The woman in question is actually thinking about putting taxes on the use of her property! She definitely needed to think this one through as I can't even imagine the number of people that would want to sue her for cancers, sunburns and sun allergies now, when she officially owns the star. 2. RainWant to hear one of the weirdest ownership claims ever? Well, let me put it like this – you don't want to be caught stealing government property, right? Well, in Utah, even rain falls under this category. LOL! "Falls"… you get it? Anyways, you might want to check who owns the rain in your country to avoid the inconvenience one Salt Lake City resident had to go through to find out that he can't use good ol' rainwater for his carwash because, duh, it belongs to the government! |
| Why is Christian Louboutin Suing Yves Saint Laurent? Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:27 AM PDT  Quick! Take a peek at these gorgeous red suede stilettos and tell me which designer makes them. If you noticed the red sole and guessed Christian Louboutin, you’re wrong — but now you know why he’s suing fellow designer Yves Saint Laurent. These lush red shoes are from the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2011 collection, and feature soft suede uppers in red, with a matching red sole. They’re also available in other tonally-matched hues, like teal with a teal sole, but Louboutin says the red suede pump with a red sole could potentially confuse us couture footwear fashionistas, which is why he’s suing. The suit, filed in New York, states “The defendant’s use of red footwear outsoles that are virtually identical to plaintiff’s Red Sole Mark is likely to cause and is causing confusion, mistake and deception among the relevant purchasing public as to the origin of the infringing footwear.” Stay tuned for updates as they become available… |
| 13 Scarlett Johansson Hairstyles … Posted: 21 Apr 2011 02:15 AM PDT  When you think of Scarlett Johansson, you think vavavoom body, sweetheart neckline dresses, red lips, and long,wavy hair. I saw a recent photo of her with short and straight hair, though, and I thought about listing here Scarlett Johansson hairstyles through the years. The last one is my absolute favorite, by the way. 1. Vintage Glam
When most boys think of Scarlett, THIS is the hairstyle that immediately comes to mind. Followed by that same expression. Can’t blame them, this ‘do is just undeniably H-O-T. 2. Strawberry Straight
Well what do you know, she can give off that “girl next door” vibe, too. She looks very pretty here, doesn’t she? Interestingly, she doesn’t look as sexy as when she does with wavy hair. 3. Vampy
See, what did I say about the wavy hair and her level of “hotness”? Of course, the very, very red lips pump up her sexy vibe here, too. This is a more modern take of the Number1 ‘do above and I like it. 4. Upswept Waves
Hmmm there is something very “Barbie meets Prom Queen” about this hairstyle. Do you, gals, like it? I like the color but that’s it. |
