HOW TO GET ROSY WHITE SKIN

Many people consider tanned or olive skin to be a symbol of beauty; however, the porcelain doll look has been popular for centuries in Asian countries and is now considered equally beautiful. Particularly with concerns about skin cancer and sun damage, rosy white skin is a beauty goal we all should reach for. A few tips can help.


INSTRUCTIONS:

1

Protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun by applying a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 on a daily basis, even on overcast days. If you sweat or wash your face, reapply your sunscreen. There are a number of products available on the market which contain fewer oils and will not effect your complexion.

2

Whiten your skin by making an exfoliating facial mask with gentle bleaching properties. Place part of a cucumber in a blender. The amount of cucumber you use will depend on how much mask you would like to make. Keep in mind that the mask will only last about 2 days when refrigerated.

3

Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the blender and blend until smooth. If you have oily skin, you can use the juice of an entire lemon, which will not only help to lighten skin, it will also cleanse and exfoliate, leaving your skin clear of acne and naturally rosy. If you are prone to dry skin, start with a small amount of lemon juice, adding a bit each time until you find the amount that suits your skin type.

4

Place the mixture in a bowl and add flour a bit at a time, stirring well. Add enough flour that the mixture takes on a pasty consistency. The flour not only helps you to spread your mask, it also has gentle whitening effects.

5

Apply the mask evenly to your face and allow to set for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water and patting dry. You can use this mask daily to lighten skin and give you glowing, rosy cheeks.

6

Improve your skin tone and get a natural rosy complexion by taking supplements of Vitamin C and Vitamin E daily. Vitamin C and E are high in antioxidants, helping your body to repair and replenish your skin. Always follow the manufacturer's directions for dosage information.

How to Get the Attention of Men - 20 Tips to Attract the Attention of Men

You're probably already aware doves, that the extremal PACKAGING of a product plays an important and even indispensable role in marketing. Well, the same applies to youdear hearts! In fact, all commodities require a strong visual display factor.

Normally too, the human mind is sensitive to any strong stimuli - such as bright colors and bright lights for example. And, if your goal is to attract the attention of men, or to attract a good man's attention, then your feminine image is important in every little detail! 

You know cupcakes, thousands of people will pass a store window every day, without being able to name, or even give the color of a single article in the store window And, if you don't pay attention to the consumer (men,) then you risk being ignored or removed from the shelves altogether!

For MEN too, a woman's feminine image and presence must be so attractive and desirable, as to cause him to temporarily forget himself - and have his thoughts turned directly to YOU - the woman in view.

Moreover, the attention of men only gravitates toward the FEMININE, well-groomed, beautifully dressed and nice smelling women. And, this is exactly how you'll need to be coming across, in order to attract attention from the sea of men - if you wish to impress one of them.

The external appearance of feminine women, assures the way they SHINE.

So doves, in order to shine and attract the attention of men, there has to be something about your personal appearance which stands out - to the extent of detracting your male prospect's attention from whatever he, or they, are doing. The external should always refer to your inner state as well.

By the way, ignore your feminist friends if they start criticizing you for wanting to look more feminine and desirable to men, as most feminists hate men. Many feminists also have the erroneous belief that it's impossible to be smart, and beautiful.

As for a radical feminist, her image states to men; "I'm smart (and hard and sharp.) But beauty isn't part of the package because I despise men."

Now, getting back to getting the attention of men, a man's attention may be won and directed, as well as attracted and guided. And, here are some very good, and time-testedtips to attract the attention of men, and to leave a favorable impression on them....

20 Time-Tested Tips to Attract the Attention of Men

1. Make a rule not to ever leave the house without make-up. It's important that your face is always smooth and fresh looking, with a healthy skin color and slight blush. A touch of mascara and lip-gloss will complete the effect.

2. Don't forget to keep up with you manicures and pedicures. Dirty and/or chipped finger nails is a virtual crime for which you'll pay the penalty! For many men, well-groomed hands are an indicator of elegance and sophistication in women as well.

Moreover, men instinctively follow the motions of your hands. You can use this knowledge to draw a man's attention to the best parts of your body too ;-)

3. Wear long, flowing hair styles - long and flowing hair has always been associated with femininity. And, when you're talking to your boyfriend, husband, or an attractive single man, don't forget to play with your hair while talking to him, playfully wrapping a lock of your hair around your finger ;-)

And, avoid having straggly or greasy-looking hair like the plague!

4. Do regular hair removal. Eyebrows plucked, and no visible 'mustache,' arm-pit hair, or stubbly, hairy legs!

5. Wear a light touch of beautiful perfume. All the better if it's a unique and rare perfume!

6. Pamper yourself with regular facials (which you can also do at home,) a new dress and pair of shoes. Don't deny yourself the pleasure of taking a bath either - with lovely-smelling bath salts and oils of course!

7. The style and quality of your clothing should PLEASE, rather than repel. And, when it comes to a lady's dress, the attention she gets from men may be positive or negative. In order to receive positive attention from men, dress fashionably, stylishly, and with a classy elegance.

This instantly stamps you in the mind of a male prospect as having good taste. 

Good taste also happens to leave a favorable impression on a man's mind, which helps to put you in the good graces of your prospect. Moreover, the first impression practically decides whether you'll be noticed, and possibly granted enough time in the presence of your prospect for things to develop further!

But remember my feminine coquettes, that expensive doesn't necessarily mean classy or stylish.

"Fine feathers do not always make fine birds!"

8. Look FEMININE - pretty, soft, gentle.... And, whether your feminine style is a 50's 'fluffy kitten,' or a bombshell or bohemian.... remember you must always look like a feminine woman - even in the office. By the way cupcakes, a male boss isn't interested in a 'robot,' he's interested in an attractive woman - who's also classy and a professional.

To dress more feminine, and look more feminine, try to wear dresses or skirts instead of shorts or trousers. Moreover, to look sexy, but classy, the hemline of your dress, or skirt, should be no higher than the knee. However, there can be a slit going up one leg (though make sure that it doesn't go too high doves!)

In addition, allow your top or blouse to reach as far up as under your neck, but allow it to open up at your shoulders – showing some bare skin there. Or wear a high collared top with some lace across the chest area.

And, don't forget that your clothes and shoes should always be in perfect condition too.

9. On the right occasions, wear seam or lace stockings. This is also a time-tested method for effectively attracting the attention of men: And, all day long the one you want may be picturing your legs in stockings, and dreaming about you ;-)

10. Regularly exercise. At least a 30 minute walk each day, and light weight exercises allow yourself to stay slender and toned. Also cupcakes, for many men, the most attractive part of the female figure is her behind, so don't forget that.

11. Get SLEEP and rest.

12.. Act freely and gracefully. In fact, study the poised, graceful and lady-like ways of moving about, of handling articles, of sitting and rising, and of standing properly and easily. You may even notice that some women will actually fall into a chair like a bag of wheat dropped several feet!

Yet a PERFECTLY POISED AND GRACEFUL lady will gain our admiration by the graceful, poised and easy manner in which the movements of her body are conducted.

All these things are amenable in the eyes of others, and are worth a serious study by any woman who desires to attain the largest measure of success - in not only her professional life, but her personal life.

So, keep your back straight standing, and even if you're sitting in a comfortable chair. Your back should be flat against the chair and your chin slightly raised proudly.

13. Your SENSUALITY should be showing in your sensual gait, your eyes and your smile. Practice walking around swaying your hips, wiggling your behind, and turning around around on your high heels ;-)

As for your GAZE, that may catch a desirable man looking at you, allow your gaze to look at him for about five seconds - to light the spark. This female gaze is the most sexy to men and causes a flame!

Your sensuality should also be showing in the timbre of your voice, and in the softness, smoothness and sleekness of your movements.

14. High status men are attracted to a woman with a quiet DISTINCTION AND DIGNITY. A woman who carries herself in a dignified elegance. Be the lady sitting next to the knight! A loud voice is also out. And, you should know your own worth and present yourselfaccordingly. 

15. Other qualities which create an ideal feminine appearance, as well as attract the attention of men are; serenity, BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, and a thoughtful consideration for others - manifested in everything that that you say and do.

16. There must also be an air of QUEENLY CONFIDENCE & CREDIBILITY about you, which leads your male prospect to determine intuitively that you're a credible and trustworthy woman.

Rarely can this trait be successfully faked either, so make sure that this laudable requisite of femininity is genuine within you.

17. Have a QUEENLY PRESENCE too. In our case, presence is defined as the united personal qualities of a woman - as revealed by her general bearing. The appearance of her whole body - taken as a whole unit- is always significant.

In fact, a woman's general bearing is more eloquent than any movements. It tells others more about her temperament and character too. For that very reason, much of a woman's seductive power depends on her presence. It also goes without saying that presence, or general appearance, is largely affected by dress.

18. To have a man see you as a woman who deserves to be treated with love, respect and AWE, you must first learn to love and respect yourself. Tend to yourself and adore yourself! Such a woman is respected, appreciated and loved by the strong alpha men -who'll give you what you want.

19. Be CONVINCING with your value. Remember doves, a man gives his attention to a woman not just because he's attracted to her, and is interested in her, but also because he becomes convinced by her presence, bearing and of course, by her personality and character.

He becomes convinced that he'll gain a benefit from being with her!

20. Finally cupcakes, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Within you is the potential and power to lead your male prospect all the way along your road - and all the way to the altar! ;-)

**Homework; A 'life study' for you!
Sitting at some place that's bustling with activity (such as a busy cafe,) try to locate on the social and desirability scale, the women you see. Observe them closely (but subtly ;-)) Then record your observations in a notebook, giving a brief written description of the characters you've studied. Moreover, when a striking or poised woman presents herself, you can impersonate the 'study' when you go home. This work can be very interesting and valuable!

An Example of TRUE BEAUTY - Claudia Lynx

An Example of TRUE BEAUTY - Claudia Lynx

Could this lady be the most beautiful woman in the world?

Recently I watched a show on television called 'True Beauty' where a group of 10 very good looking young men and women were competing for the title of 'most beautiful person in America.' They had to compete in various challenges, and unbeknown to them were being constantly watched on camera - and being REALLY judged for their inner beauty.

Claudia Lynx (real name Shaghayegh) of Persian ancestry, is in my opinion one of the most beautiful people alive today – a living ‘goddess’ (my term for a trulybeautiful, quasi goddess-like woman.) Claudia’s a real woman of substance; a true beauty with hypnotic eyes - and who leaves most Hollywood celebrities in the dust! 

And because she embodies TRUE FEMININE BEAUTY, she has the genuine qualifications to be a real inspiration to women. I am always hearing teens and younger women touting their favorite Hollywood 'role-model' celebs such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardishian, 'Lady Ga Ga,' and Meagan Fox.

Internet searches for the most popular female celebrities of 2009 are also a huge trend. Yet, these young women obviously don't have much of an idea at all about what true beauty and feminine allure is - and I can even say that many wouldn't even care for that matter!

I am not saying these particular women don't have their own particular charms or good qualities, but from what I've witnessed and read about them, they are not in the league of 'true beauty.' Actually doves, you can pick up a lot about these celebrities (as well as any other woman) by the way she TALKS.

Many of them also appear to be quite plastic, vapid - even openly vulgar and narcissistic. A blog I stumbled across has an actual name for it; 'shiny tacky people' - arrrh, loove it!

However, Claudia Lynx IS a celeb who's in that very rare league of embodying true authentic beauty. She also shows a healthy psychological state of mind and good morals/feminine values (unlike certain women celebrities.) And just take a further look at this gorgeous lady’s personality and female character (something that many of these tacky, shallow, inappropriate and 'hot' female celebrities lack….

This is why I personally believe that Claudia lynx is possibly one of the most beautiful woman in the world today (and those Hollywood celebrities literally palein comparison to her.)

Here are some of her quotes....

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Answering the question about who she’d like meet one day;

"God and all the kind and humble people who have not sold their souls to the devil” (lust, greed, excessive pride etc.)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ On vanity and ego;

"No matter how powerful we may think we are, we're still going to end up in the same place that starving child is going tonight." 
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ About her beauty;

"The people that know me personally would perhaps tell you I’m the total opposite of my stereotyped look."

"Despite what it may look like in pictures or on screen, I’m a very shy person (except when I’m in front of the camera or on stage)."
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ On her love for children;

"I absolutely adore children and would love to spend all my time with them because of their honesty and pure hearts."
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ On her taste in men;

"When it comes to love, I'm like a blind person, a man's physical appearance has absolutely no affect on me."

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ On being single;

"I'm actually very happy this way. I'm busy with my career and spend my time with my family and close friends... maybe in the near future I may meet my soul mate, but for now, I'm very happy."

~♥♥♥•:*¨¨*Claudia Lynx is a real inspiration for girls and women! This lovely feminine beauty is also a female celebrity we CAN actuallyaspire to

STOMACH VACUUM for smaller waist...

STOMACH VACUUM FOR SMALLER WAIST

The vast majority of people who engage in countless sets and repetitions of abdominal exercises such as crunches, leg lifts, and twists fail to see dramatic improvement, as if something is lacking. Are you among those who religiously train your abdominals, yet still fight the distending gut syndrome?

I can teach you a simple technique to reduce your midsection in as little as three weeks! By incorporating this technique, with your regular abdominal training and proper diet, it will reduce the size of your waist, and help to give you a carved midsection!

Prerequisites

This is exciting news, but it does come along with some prerequisites which are, pre-established clean eating habits, adequate water intake, and a low to moderate body fat percentage. Depending on how you hold your weight, anywhere from 12 to 15% is acceptable.

Some Background

Before we jump in over our heads let's discuss the reason behind this specialized technique. This exercise I am speaking of is called the stomach vacuum. Relax, we are not going to pump or vacuum your stomach. This isn't a liposuction technique. The stomach vacuum was widely used in the early days of bodybuilding with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Corey Everson and has become what I refer to as, "the forgotten abdominal exercise."

Have you ever noticed how slim, trimmed, hard, and defined the physiques of bodybuilders were in the late 1970's and early 1980's? Many of today's top-level bodybuilding competitors have a distended midsection. This could be due to the drug abuse problem and growth hormone, but it is also connected to the fact that many bodybuilders have simply skipped over an important training tactic.

The Inner and Outer Abdominals The abdominal region is composed of internal and external muscles. The external muscles are known as the rectus abdominus and the external obliques.

Crunches cause the rectus abdominus to flex. Crunching forward a third of the way up targets the entire rectus abdominus. Once the movement goes past this active zone your hip flexors come into play, taking emphasis off your abdominals.

Your obliques are targeted to a greater degree when any twisting action takes place, such as twisting crunches where you bring your elbow to the opposite knee.

The Real Inner Abdominals

The transversus abdominus and lumbar multifidus are the inner abdominal muscles. These muscles are rarely discussed, and are the most neglected. These muscles lie beneath the rectus abdominus, and external obliques.

The inner abdominal muscles support posture, and control deep breathing during power movements, such as heavy squats. They are the muscles responsible for back support. Since they are rarely targeted they are often weaker.

By building a stronger inner abdominal wall you can limit and relieve back pain, improve posture, create a tighter midsection, and add explosive power to your training.

The Benefits of the Stomach Vacuum

The stomach vacuum is an isometric contraction of the transversus abdominus. As previously stated, a stronger transversus abdominus can create a stronger valsalva maneuver (the powerful exhale necessary to contract a muscle during an intense workload).

The stomach vacuum is one of the best exercises you can perform to shrink your waistline in a very short amount of time. Many people can lose an inch or two from their midsection in a little as three to four weeks with this technique, provided the prerequisites are met. Also, building this area of the abdominal muscle will help you gain more control over your abs, and assist you better in explosive lifts. Stomach vacuums take practice, but they are extremely effective.

How to Execute the Stomach Vacuum

To execute the stomach vacuum stand upright and place your hands on your hips or over your head, and then exhale all the air out of your lungs, completely. As you exhale, expand your chest and bring your stomach in as far as possible, and hold it in. Do Not Hold Your Breath! To be blunt, simply suck in your gut. Visualize trying to touch your navel to your backbone.

This is an isometric contraction, like flexing your biceps. You breathe normally while flexing your biceps and you should breathe normally while executing the stomach vacuum.

Sets and Reps

Counting reps with this exercise is bit different. One isometric contraction of "X" seconds is one repetition. For example, if you suck your gut in for 10 seconds, that's one repetition. If you do that two more times, that's 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

Now, before you go saying things like, "'you can't spot reduce," "it won't affect skin elasticity," and "you can't get abs by holding your breath," you have mistaken the point of this article. This article is not claiming to do such miraculous things. It's not about holding your breath or spot reduction. What this exercise CAN do is strengthen and stabilize your core so you have more control over your abdominals, and prevent the loose belly hangover from an underdeveloped transversus abdominus.

There are macho men out there who think since this exercise doesn't require slinging hundreds of pounds of iron that it's not effective. Nonetheless, the transversus abdominus is a muscle and it needs to be trained. Just because it doesn't take a fancy machine or an ego-boosting exercise to do it doesn't mean it's less effective. Effective training is about intensity and form, not macho egos, and grunting under a stack of plates.

Training Guide for the Stomach Vacuum: Training days for the stomach vacuum are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or every other day. While the abs can be trained more than other muscle groups, they still need their rest. Therefore, doing them daily won't be as effective as you may think it would be.

Week #1 - 20 Seconds - 3 Sets Week #2 - 30 Seconds - 3 Sets Week #3 - 40 Seconds - 3 sets

The idea is to keep progressing in seconds (reps) or sets. You can set your own start point and progression phase. Eventually try to work up 4 sets of a full minute.

As an added bonus, you can use the stomach vacuum when doing your regular abdominal work. Focus on pulling in on the transversus abdominus as you do your abdominal work. Simply do this by pulling in your stomach as far as possible and flex your groin muscles, as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine.

Conclusion to Stomach Vacuums

Once mastered, the stomach vacuum can be performed in a standing, kneeling, seated, and lying position. Now you don't have an excuse to avoid abdominal training if you are stuck in traffic or can't get away from your desk.

The Power of Words

The Power of Words

Using words and names to benefit your relationships

There’s an old saying that my dearest Daddy used to tell me to exclaim to other children when I was teased: “sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me!”. Back then, this really worked, and really empowered me. As I grew up, I came to realize, like most people do – that – names or not, words DO HURT. The words you use have the power to create good energy in a situation, or to encourage bad energy in a situation. (not to disrespect my Daddy, cause I love him, and as a child, these comebacks do go a long way when you’re trying to defend yourself against nasty kidlets)!

Women are experts at destroying with words. They’re especially good at emasculating and hurting a man with their words. They’re also experts at creating with words. It depends on the woman  Let’s take a look at a few examples. If I was talking about a certain body part of yours, and I used the word ‘ASS’ it would produce an entirely different reaction in you than if I used the word “bottom”. If I used the words ‘make love’, this is a whole lot different to the word ‘F***’. In fact, those two words entail two different acts/meanings.

Words and meaning

We all attach certain meanings to certain words, and you can use them to benefit your intimate relationship, or weaken your intimate relationship- or any relationship! If you use a word that you know that person will attach a different meaning to, you can instantly change their biochemistry – their state.

When it comes to your intimate relationship, being aware of the words you choose and the names you choose, is important. If you are feeling, for example, that you’d like your man to be more of a man/less soft and gentle, but don’t know how to tell him and don’t want to insult him or upset him, you could use the power of a different name to elicit a different response in him, and to encourage another side of him to show up.

If you normally call your man ‘honey’, that’s great, but what about ‘Tiger’? This is a whole lot different to ‘Bambino’ or ‘Snookie’ or ‘Bunny’. Actually, Bunny is quite funny. Especially funny for a guy!! 

Again, what about ‘Boss’ as opposed to ‘Shnookums’? Or ‘Cupcake’ vs ‘Prince’.

I can tell you taht, if you call your man The ‘Terminator’ with genuine intent and feeling, and you normally call him your ‘boy’ or your ‘sweetie’, he’s going to wonder what happened, and it will definitely change his state. If I call my man Terminator, he instantly gives me a massive grin and stands up straighter 

What if you called him your ‘Hero’ rather than ‘gorgeous’? I’m not saying any nickname is wrong. I’m saying that your choice of names can change his STATE in almost a moment. It’s also how you say it. So, going up to him and saying ‘hey Tiger’ whilst looking away and chewing your cuticles won’t have the desired effect. Words plus intent = effect.

I don’t really like to call my man my ‘partner’, because this word could mean other things such as a business relationship, and not to mention it’s generic and very boring. It’s great to call him your Man rather than your boyfriend or your boy, as well, because this places him in a different role. A boyfriend is a boyfriend, a husband is a husband – but a MAN on the other hand (the word man) – implies a whole lot of other things. Everyone can have a ‘husband’ but not everyone can have a ‘man’.  Can you think of some associations you may have with the word ‘Man’ as opposed to ‘partner’?

Getting good at this sometimes takes a few goes as well. It’s not always easy to start with, but once you get more confident and comfortable with yourself, and don’t feel afraid encouraging him in to a different state, it’ll come so easily, it’s like you never had to try 

Take also for example, if your man normally calls you honey, but instead called you his‘hummingbird’ or his ‘baby girl’, wouldn’t that produce a different feeling in you?

Nasty words and insults

But to divert away from names for a moment. We can often, in a heated moment – startsaying nasty things. And he may do this to you, too (I’m not placing all the blame on women here). The problem with this is that, even if you do forgive each other, if you do say nasty, terrible things enough times (even if only a few times), you will start to build up that bad association within your partner. You need to build up positive associations with him if you are going to make it last.

This is why it’s also fantastic to practice changing your own state. If you’re in a heated argument, it’s a good idea to develop the strength to instantly change each others’ state. My man and I have done this so much that, no matter what argument we have, we inevitably start laughing at some point during it. Just because we have both built up such a strong association in our history that argument eventually = laughter, that we can’t help it now – EVEN if I wanted to stay upset and in that ‘survival mode’, I couldn’t!

If you were having an argument, and you were really angry with each other, and saw that the argument was going nowhere and not serving either of you, you’d be surprised to find the reaction in him if you (instead of going on about what he was doing wrong) – decided to call him ‘spotted dick’ (it’s a dessert, in case you’ve never heard of it). I know this seems crazy, but am I making my point?

This post was a lot of fun for me, and I find that words are amazing, powerful things that can instantly change the energy in a situation!
