Beauty Tips for Teen Girls By Beverly Smith

Teen Makeup and clothing is an issue for many teenage girls. If you are stressing about what you should look like as a newcomer in middle school, or a freshie in high school, here's a quick guide to help your fashion mature with you throughout middle and high school.
In Sixth grade, wear lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a little bit of pale eyeshadow; don't go too heavy or it may look bad. If you want to try out more types of makeup, keep that for home experiments.
As for clothes, keep it in your comfort level. Bear this in mind: if you are wearing a bra or undershirt, don't let the straps hang out. It doesn't look cool; it just looks sloppy. If you are wearing a short shirt, check in the mirror to see if your stomach hangs out of the bottom. Otherwise, wear something a little bit longer. Also, if your pants are likely to slip, wear a belt. Belts are totally hip now!
* The main point is to keep the makeup light, and the clothes clean cut.
In Seventh grade you are beginning to care a little more what you look like; you might want to try curling your hair a few days a week, and using different hairstyles besides your typical ponytail.
If you are acne prone, try foundation. Remember thet even oily skin can get flaky and that looks horrible with foundation. So try it on weekends first and ask your mother (or someone that uses foundation well) if it looks okay.
In Seventh grade you might want to try eyeliner. But not too much because you don't want to look like a racoon!
Start trying to tie outfits together with accessories. It's good to try new things with your makeup and clothes. But when you try the new things, make sure it looks good on you, not just in the picture or at the store. Check out different stores, and find out if there is a style that suits you.
In eighth grade you are probably getting good at makeup and you know what you like. Try establishing your own hairstyle without looking like everyone else. For example, if everyone has long, layered hair with no bangs, try light wispy bangs and a shorter, layered look.
You might be wearing tighter jeans now and probably starting to get concerned with impressing the guys, so it's safe to try out more mature styles such as a sleek leather blazer, or lower cut necklines. If you are happy with your sports bra, that is totally OK. But it's safe now to check out the actual bra department and wear something that makes you feel pretty - like lace.
Ninth grade: high school! This is a big transition. Now in the same world as seniors, you are going to want to look like the rest of your peers. You should by now have your makeup and hair styles already. Try to update this look a bit, because no one wants to carry the same look they had in middle school. Dramatize a detail in your hair. If its known for it's left side part, part it even deeper. Make a straight style even sleeker and hip. Learn to make youre curls tighter, or looser.
In high school you might want to wear your usual make up during the day, and as you start to go out with friends and boys at night, add a darker shade of eyeliner, or jazz up your lips with something more festive. It's also good to try new shoes, try wearing spikier ankle boots with a pair of hot jeans and a blouse. Chunkier heels aren't as hip as spikes as you get older. Incorporate accessories into your outfit. Buy yourself a bag that's in suede or leather to keep your schoolbooks in, instead of a backpack. You will want to buy yourself a new jacket, and make it your own.
You know what you like, so go and find clothes that fit your style, but crank it up a notch for a more mature feel.


*Remember, no matter how old you are the most important thing is to have fun.

SKIN TROUBLE

KEEP PIMPLES AWAY FOREVER!
Tanya Munshi

Now that you know how to make pimples you get disappear, here are some tips to make sure they don’t recur and you can live a pimple free life!





  • Never touch your pimples. Continuous touching can spread the bacteria on your face and cause pimples elsewhere.




  • Change the sheets of your bed and pillow regularly. At times, bacteria present on your pillow cover can lead to pimples.




  • Have a lukewarm water bath. Never bathe with piping hot water as it removes the essential oils from your skin. After a bath, pat your skin dry. Never rub it harshly with a towel as you’ll only strip away essential skin cells and make it even drier and prone to infections.




  • Remember, you should never share make up. You never know whose infection might ruin your skin.




  • Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily; this helps in flushing out the toxins in your body that cause pimples and other skin problems.
       
    TACKLING THE PIMPLE MENACE
    Tanya Munshi

    Pimples have a notorious habit of showing up just before that special date or a much-awaited party. It doesn’t matter how great your date is or how lovely the party is, you constantly feel that all eyes are on your face, with a pimple spoiling the show.

    Tone, Wash, And Moisturize
    Acne is mainly caused by bacteria build-up, so it’s best to use an anti-bacterial face wash. Usually, your dermatologist will recommend a safe product to use. Better still, use fragrance-free face wash that is free of any oils.

    Apply an oil free, vitamin E-enriched cream that is useful to heal pimple-prone and ruptured skin. You need to remove the impurities from your face to allow it to breathe. Never forget to use a toner and a face wash daily after returning from outside. An alcohol-free toner is best as it will keep a check on the bacteria on the skin. Use an oil-free sunscreen for your face. But remember, you need very little of it, else the sweat and your oily skin will lead to more pimples.

    When A Pimple Strikes
    Rule of thumb, never squeeze a pimple as this may cause scarring and infection. Squeezing a pimple reddens the area, causing the bacteria to spread. Instead, every half an hour, apply a cold compress on the pimple. Even if it gives you the chills, hold the ice on the affected area for a couple of minutes. Cold compress does wonders in reducing redness, swelling, and pain. Wash your face at least three times a day with anti-acne soap. Follow it up with an anti-acne cream containing benzyl peroxide. Seek a doctor’s advice before purchasing and applying as overuse of such creams can cause excessive drying of skin.

    Hide It
    Always go for water-based products as they are lighter on oily skin. Preferably choose a medicated concealer with anti-acne properties. First dab some toner with cotton wool on the pimples. The toner will dry up the excess oil, and then use the concealer. Remember, concealers can be creamy, so use them sparingly. You can spread the concealer with your finger tips, a brush, or cotton wool. Once you have applied the concealer, allow it to dry and use a powder brush to set it. Once done, apply oil-free foundation and compact to complete the picture. Ensure the foundation has a yellow base to reduce the redness of the pimples.
     
    ACNE/PIMPLES, DR. RAO ON COSMETIC CORRECTION

    DOs
    Do wash your face with a mild soap thrice a day.
    Do wash your face often (plain water splashes).
    Do steam your face at least twice a week.
    Do use a separate face towel and soap.
    Do eat a healhty balanced diet rich with fruits and vegetables. It is generally believed that oily food aggravate acne. This is not true.
    Do inform your doctor if you are taking any other oral medications like oral contraceptive pills, hormones etc.
    Do ask your doctor for any clarification regarding your medications.
    Do visit your dermatologist regularly.

    DON'Ts
    Don't pinch / pluck at your pimples or even touch them. They can scar.
    Don't stop your medications abruptly without consulting your doctor. Oral medications may have to be taken for at least 5-6 months.
    Don't use any strong medicated soaps.
    Don't use oily cosmetics.

    Cosmetic corrective procedures for Acne scars
    Chemical Peel :
    Various chemical agents like Retinoic acid, Trichloracetic acid, Alpha hydroxy acid or Phenol are used to induce exfoliation of superficial layers of skin.
    Dermabrasion: Abrading superficial layers of skin using emory or sand paper or motorized dermabrader.
    Collagen Injection: Used to fill up and level up skin unevenness and smoothen it.
    Excision & Punch Graft: Deep pitted scars can be excised and punch grafted.

    Acne, commonly known as 'Pimples' is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit (hair follicle and oil producing glands). It is one of the commonest conditions affecting the teenage population. Usually they subside spontaneously within a few years, but a small percentage of them continue to have them even in their early thirties.
    Acne is due to various reasons. There is increased stickiness of the cells that line the opening of the hair follicle due to which the sebum which is normally secreted out through thisroute, gets blocked, resulting in the 'blackhead'. There is also an increased amount of the bacteria 'Propionibacteria acnes' which normally resides there in small numbers. There is also increased sebum production due to the hormonal variation that takes place at the time of puberty.

    Acne can either be non-inflammatory (just blackheads) or they can progress to larger lesions filled with pus, which ultimately scar. Topical medications in the form of lotions, gels etc. is sufficient for small non inflammatory ones, but once pus filled lesions are present, oral antibiotics are necessary, in addition to the topical medications.

    ARE YOUR STRETCH MARKS STRETCHING YOUR LIMITS?

    It is very common that almost every woman in a specific time of their lives will develop stretch marks. Others simply have a generic predisposition to stretch marks and get them everywhere and others, never develop stretch marks at all.

    They look like reddish lines across the body, and with time they will turn white. In pregnancy it is common to have them since the skin is stretching very rapidly to accommodate the baby and the milk stored in the breasts.

    Once the stretch marks develop they will stay with you forever; but with time they will be less noticeable. The only way to avoid stretch marks is preventing them.

    We recommend:
    It is very important to exercise in order to get rid of stretch marks; toning your muscles helps your skin to remain firm thus preventing stretch marks.

    Make sure your diet contains plenty of protein and foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E, they promote good tissue growth.

    Massaging your body with olive oil or Vitamin E may help.

    You can also try this homemade recipe: Mix one ounce of carrier oil (try avocado, sweet almond, jojoba, they are the best) with seven drops of lavender and five drops of chamomile.

    Apply cocoa butter and/ or elastin cream throughout the body as directed on label. These are very good for stretch marks.

    Here is another good recipe:
    1/2 cup virgin olive oil.
    1/4 cup aloe vera gel.
    liquid from 6 capsules of Vitamin E.
    liquid from 4 capsules of Vitamin A.
    Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. After that pour the mixture into a jar and store it in the fridge. Apply the oil externally all over the places where the stretch marks commonly appear (abdomen, hips, thighs and breasts). If you do this consistently every day, you may prevent stretch marks.

    THE BENEFITS OF FACIAL MASSAGE

    TEXERCISES FOR YOUR FACE!  


     

    Your face represents the person you are, and yet, while we treat our skin externally with creams and lotions, we forget that like the rest of our body, our face can do with some exercise too. Here are some exercises that will increase the blood circulation to your face, giving your skin that extra glow and extended youthfulness.

    1. Let’s begin with your cheeks
    Smile as wide as you can. Take your three middle fingers, place them on your cheeks and pull down your cheeks at the same time. Tilt your head backwards while doing this. This exercise works wonderfully on the cheek muscles and helps in keeping them firm.

    2. For the forehead
    Place your index fingers above your eyes and pull them down very gently; at the same time, attempt to raise your eyebrows. This exercise will work the muscles on your forehead making them firm.

    3. Improve circulation
    Take a deep breath and exhale with some force, opening your mouth as wide as possible. Also, stick out your tongue while breathing out as far as you can. Keep your eyes open and look towards the ceiling. This exercise is excellent in improving the circulation in your face.

    4. Beat that double chin
    The bane of an otherwise pretty face, a double chin can be effectively tackled with this exercise. Sit in a chair and tilt your head back to look at the ceiling with your lips closed. Now, purse your lips and count till twenty. Relax your head and bring it to the normal position.

    5. For a smooth, sensuous neck
    Sit straight and tilt your head back towards the ceiling. Relax and close your lips. Move your lower lip over your top lip for as far as possible and maintain that position for 10 counts. Repeat this exercise 10 times.
    And finally, open your lips as wide as you can and feel the stretch on your lips, cheeks and all facial muscles. This exercise will increase circulation to your entire face, relieve stress as well as relax your face muscles.

     



    TRICKS TO HANDLE OILY SKIN


    Is your skin oily? You need not fret. If you think people with dry or combination skin are better off, you’re mistaken. Having oily skin isn’t all that bad!

    Why Oily Skin Occurs
    Sebaceous glands produce a healthy lubricant called sebum. When these glands run on overdrive, it results in oily skin. Did you know that sebum actually protects your skin from becoming excessively dry, brittle or cracked? That’s why on a positive note, oily skin is less prone to skin ageing. While oily skin is prone to pimples and blackheads, the good news is that such outbreaks can be controlled.

    Skin Care For Oily Skin
    o Use a soap-free face wash at least 2-3 times a day. Never over-use a face wash as that will disturb the natural sebum levels of your skin.
    o Avoid cream-based cleansers as they will leave your skin oilier.
    o Avoid alcohol-based astringents as that may leave your skin feeling stretched. Preferably use rose water or an alcohol free toner/astringent.

    Exfoliating Oily Skin
    o Use an exfoliating face wash with tea tree oil. Tree tea oil has an anti-septic property that prevents acne.
    o Once a week, gently massage a scrub on your face to keep blackheads at bay.
    o During a bath, wash your body gently with a soft loofah and a mild exfoliating body wash.

    More Tips For Oily Skin
    o Always bathe with lukewarm water. Hot or cold water will tamper with your skin texture.
    o Half an hour before a shower, rub cucumber and lemon juice mixed in a ratio of 1:1 on your face.
    o Add a few drops of eau de cologne to your bath water. The eau de cologne will act like a mild astringent thereby cleaning the pores and preventing pimples.
    o Apply a clay/fruit mask once a week to keep the glow and not the shine on your face.
    o Apply an oil-free moisturiser after a bath.
    o Avoid any kind of body butter, mineral oil or petroleum based lotions/creams.
    o Before stepping out, apply oil-free sunscreen lotion (SPF 15).



    SUFFERING FROM DRY, CHAPPED, WRINKLED SKIN?  


    Well, you are not the only one to suffer the vagaries of nature. Even the most fair-skinned amongst start wearing our age on our face after a certain time and it is not always easy to camouflage it behind a ` I accept smile'. Massaging the face is an easy and important part of beauty regime to keep wrinkles at bay. Besides softening the skin, another good effect of moisturizer massage is that it stimulates blood circulation and removes dead skin. Massage is also known to tighten certain skin tissues that tend to go flabby and give the face a worn out look. 


    A FEW MUST DOS FOR FACE MASSAGE 


    • Remove all traces of makeup, dirt and grime before massaging the face.
    • Never exert pressure on the face while massaging it. Massage should always be done with a light, feathery touch of fingers.
    • Fingers should move in a swift, light but firm way.
    • Fingers should move in an upward and outward manner towards the temple.
    • Facial massage should not last beyond 20-25 minutes.
    • Tie a head band and drape a towel below the shoulder before you start the facial massage.
    • Dry skins should be massaged with cold cream. Olive oil with a few drops of lemon juice is ideal for oily skin.

    Office Makeup - TOO SEXY FOR YOUR JOB?

    Low necklines, fitted tops and body jewellery? Do you carry your Saturday night look to office?

    IllPSTERS ACCOMPANIED by bare midriffs, belly buttons and tattoos. Sounds like a perfect attire for a party? Not really; because for many young women this is very much the look they carry I.J each morning to work. Are you one of them? Beware! Because your employer might not be impressed.

    If you dress to causal, you are perceived as someone who is too casual in her approach, lack the required sincerity and seriousness that goes with the corporal image you are required to flash behind your PC.

    Indeed flashing the flesh and bold dressing are the order of the day. Young girls who craft a perfect body after hours at the gym feel happy to flaunt what they have and from formal the new mantra is: 'Business Casuals'. But with some youngsters taking it to extremes like jeans on a week day, busters with a see through jacket and shine when subtlety is more the call.

    Smitten, many employers are redefining their official dress codes to make the girls learn what 'Business Casual' is and how important it is to dress professionally. Courtesy the absence of written rules pertaining to dressing in most organizations, a number of new fashion trends have come into existence. In today's work scenario, very low hipsters, g-strings showing, bare midriffs, etc. all are a part of the official wardrobe causing a lot of distraction at the workplace. Or there is a studied attempt to look dressed down. Like tattooed jeans in the mid weak, a pleasant dress that does not confirm to the formality of business etc cause another detour from official dressing.

    Most employers opine that the overtly sexy look is not only frowned upon by them, but also by fellow employees. Body jewellery, tattoos and see-through clothing might also be a fashion statement today, but in the work place, 'professional' reigns supreme. I don't mean to put across that being professional is being boring - its just re minding yourself of the mindful role that you are in from nine to five. After that go all out, play coquette, come hither with your wardrobe. But in the morning let the work take over. And fashion be incidental in the scheme of things. Over the years, the is sue of sexual harassments at workplace is also impelled by this. But how does one derma provocative? As per me, anything that distracts others from their work, distracts clients or customers, or even distracts themselves can be termed as provocative. What I is that instead of asking others, each one of you needs to look at yourself in the mirror ask yourselves the basic question - "Is my state of dress too sexy for my job?"

    Here are some quick pointers that should be kept in mind to dressing smarter at work. Firstly, one shouldn't expose too much skin, be it midriff, back or front; it's all a big No. One should also make sure to, cover up tattoos & take out all visible piercing including tongue studs. You must ensure that your clothes are well maintained and tidy. And yes, when going for work, just keep in mind that you have to dress for success and not to impress! And if you have figured this out, you're on!

    Bra & Panty Care

    We suggest strongly suggest hand washing your bra for longevity.

    To hand wash:

       1. Fill a sink with cool water
       2. Add a mild detergent
       3. Rub your bra gently and soak for 5 minutes
       4. Rinse your bra thoroughly with cold water
       5. Carefully squeeze out excess water without wringing
       6. Blot dry with a towel
       7. Re-shape and lay flat on a towel to dry.
       
       
       

    We DO NOT recommend that you machine wash your bra. However, if you do machine wash:

       1. Fasten all hooks
       2. Use a lingerie bag or bra washing bowl to keep your bra from twisting or stretching during the wash
       3. Wash on the delicate cycle
       4. Re-shape and hang dry and lay flat on a towel to dry

    Never:

        * Machine dry your underwear. Machine drying can decrease the elasticity of your bra and panties and cause damage.
        * Iron your bra or panties. The material is not safe to iron and it will damage your underwear

       

    Lastly, ensure that the detergent you decide to use to care for your bra is mild. Here are some things to remember when looking for a detergent:

       1. Powdered detergents can sometimes contain bleach or enzymes
       2. Liquid detergents dissolve easily and prevent hardening.
       3. Use a detergent made for washing delicate fabrics
       4. If possible, look for detergents that are pure, organic and biodegradable
       5. If possible, look for detergents that not only clean but conditions and deodorizes

    The importance of right "BRA"


    Innerwear is as important as outerwear. If you have heard of the common adage ‘beautiful within’, you will know what this means. Hence, choosing the right bra is very important. The following points will make it amply clear why this is so:-
    • Too tight bras can cramp up the breasts. This will lead to poor circulation in them and will make them prone to several dysfunctional problems. Outwardly, you might see sores and rashes. Also the tight strap and base may cut into the skin and cause injuries.

    • Bras that are loose will make your breasts sag. Since your breasts will not get a proper support, they will try to distend or fall flat on the fabric of the bra.

    • A wrongly designed bra may also be unhealthy. Not only that, it could play havoc with your figure. For example, bras with broad bases will make small breasts look even flatter. Similarly, buxom women should go for bras with thinner but sturdier strapped bras.

    • Bad bras will also show from the outside. Not directly, but a wrong bra can make your outer garment seem ungainly and sloppy.


    There are many outwardly signs that will indicate that the bra you are wearing is wrong. Watch out for the following telltale signs:-
    • Your bra center does not properly touch the breastbone region of your chest.
    • Your breasts look out of shape.
    • Your breasts are getting cramped inside the breasts.
    • There are red marks on your shoulders.
    • You are suffering from shoulder and back pains, especially after wearing bras.
    The above indications show that the bra you are wearing is not correct – it is either looser or it is tighter than it needs to be.
    Selecting the correct Bra
    The perfect bra is a myth. There is no such thing. The most you can do is to find a bra that fits you most comfortably. This can be done only if you take your bra shopping seriously. Remember the following points while shopping for your bras:-
    (i) The right size – the right bra
    The first thing to do is to take the correct size of your bust. This is best done at home with a measuring tape. Measure your frame size and cup size and remember these numbers. Once in the shop, you must ask for those numbers. But keep in mind that different companies design bras differently; so that a bra size from one company may fit you while the same number from another company may not fit you. You will need to buy one bra to get a demo first before planning on stocking on your bras.
    (ii) Checking for materials
    Bras are made of several materials, like cotton, satin, silk, Lycra, etc. You must choose which material you want. Keep the climate into account. Silk and satin bras look sexier, but they are not exactly the greatest choices for a summer wear. You will become all sweaty under your bra. For the summer, select a cooler material like cotton. You may also need to check if you are allergenic to any particular material. If allergenic, then you should avoid bras made of that material like the plague. Breasts are very sensitive parts of the anatomy; and even a slight irritation there can disturb the well-being of the entire body.
    (iii) Complementing your body and figure
    Your bra is innerwear, but it also plays a vital role in enhancing your figure, and hence lends grace to the outer garment that you wear. Your bra must complement your natural figure. Keep the following points in mind:-
    a) If you have a large bust, then go for wide shoulder bras with wide straps. The bras must have full cups. Such bras will give good support to your bust and contain the breasts fully. You can also select a bra with under-wiring for better support. Do not choose bras with more designs on them, such as lace, for they will only make your large bust seem more prominent.
    b) If you have a small bust, you can make it more prominent by choosing a padded bra. If you do not want that, then a simple balcony style bra would do, which will give a good uplift to your breasts. You can buy fancy bras that would boost your figure even more. But do not go for square cut bras and flat tops which will make your figure flatter.
    (iv) Bras for special purposes
    Finally, you have to consider if you are buying a bra for some special occasion or purpose. There are the following special bras available:-
    a) Sports bras – These bras are used while exercising. Your sports bra must be comfortably fitting your bust without straining at all. If there is a strain, change to a larger size. Sports bras keep the breast ligaments well-supported during your strenuous exercises and maintain the shape of the breasts.
    b) Nursing bras – These bras are used by lactating women. Nursing bras have cups that open like flaps. Check that these flaps can be refastened easily and quickly. Also the bra must have base straps, which will keep the bra in place even when the cups are unfastened.
    There are several kinds of bras. You must take time out to select the right type and size for yourself. A good bra has the potential to make you look more beautiful and feel more self-confident.

    Bra Fitting Guide

    So many times women suffer in silence for beauty by throwing comfort aside and focusing on style, especially when it comes to lingerie. One major problem many women face when attempting to choose the perfect bra is sizing. Whether it’s a plunge bra or t-shirt bra; sizing can be major hassle resulting in a waste of time and money.

    We understand that fashion and comfort can go hand in hand, especially when the product is not only made with the best materials available but also encompass a variety of choices. We also pride ourselves in understanding how important the bra fitting process can be.

    The life changing effects of finding a bra that fits properly is undeniable. Many women have been amazed by the changes in their overall appearance after getting rid of their poor fitting bras for a perfect fitting seamless bra.

    A bad fitting bra can:

    * Add a shapeless and unattractive look to your posture
    * Cause scarring underneath and on the sides of your breast over time
    * Cause back pain and neck pain from inadequate support
    * Attribute to posture problems and constant slouching
       
       

    A good fitting bra can:

    * Change the silhouette and curves of a woman’s body
    * Make you look slimmer while reshaping
    * Allow your clothes to fit and look better on your body
    * Give you a smaller waistline
    * Give you a boost of confidence

    Stop settling for expensive bras that never fit properly. Focus on purchasing functional lingerie that you will love. Follow the guide below in order to find a nude color bra that actually fits you and your lifestyle.

    How To Really Find Your Bra Size

    Step 1: Band Size Measurement: While wearing a non-padded bra, and keeping the measuring tape parallel with the ground, measure around your bra directly under your bust after expelling all the air from your lungs. Round all measurements to the nearest whole number.

    *Tip: This number should be as small as possible, with the tape being pulled firm, but without binding the skin. If the measurement is an even number, add 4". If the measurement is an odd number, add 5".

    Step 2: Cup Size Measurement: Standing straight, with your arm at your side, measure at the fullest part of your bust (not too tight, not too loose). Make sure the measuring tape stays parallel to the ground. Round all measurements to the nearest whole number.

    Step 3: Bra Size Calculation: Subtract your band measurement from step 1, from your cup measurement in step 2. For each inch difference, the cup size goes up by one size, as shown in the example below:
    BRA SIZES

    Band     32     34     36     38
    Cups     32A   34A     36B     38B
                        34C     36C     38C
                        34D     36D     38D

    Beauty And Diet Tips During Pregnancy

    Pregnancy is nine months long and with proper preparation many of the ordinary discomforts and beauty problems of pregnancy can be avoided, giving a feeling of well being and great satisfaction. The inevitable result of bearing a child is that the infant draws upon the mother's reserves, thus making her undernourished, sickly and pale. To avoid this eat a nourishing diet. If the daily supplies of food are sufficient, the bones, teeth, hair, eyes, skin and the mother's other reserves will not be drawn upon and the infant will be properly supported on 'income' and not on mother's 'capital'.

    A pregnant woman should daily take: at least four cups of milk; two or more fruits, one of which should be citrus; two or more vegetables, one of which should be deep green or yellow; one dish of potatoes;. one or more eggs; 250 gram or more of either meat, fish or poultry; three to four servings of either whole grain or bread; four tablespoons of butter; one multivitamin tablet; two calcium tablets and one fish liver oil capsule.

       

    The food mentioned above will provide for the maintenance of the mother's body with enough extra to take care of the tissue growth of the infant, enough calcium and vitamin D for basic development and enough iron to prevent anemia in the mother and to supply all the needs of the infant.
    Constipation is a very common problem during pregnancy and, if not checked, it gives rise to a number of embarrassing skin blemishes. To cure it drink at least eight glasses of water every day. Besides, include laxative fruits like figs, punt's and beetroot in your daily diet.

    As the abdomen becomes larger, the skin stretches. Fibres of the connective tissue immediately underlying the skin separate and give rise to white stretch marks. To avoid these, it is always wise to massage the abdomen and the breasts regularly with oil from the first month of pregnancy right to the last and even after delivery­for a few months at least. On no account scratch the abdomen and the breasts, because this will leave scratch marks for ever afterwards on the skin. If you feel very itchy, gently very gently rub the skin with your hands.

    If you are planning on breast feeding your baby, you should begin preparing your nipples from the sixth month onwards. Once everyday, draw out each nipple by gently pressing your thumb and index finger down on either side of the nipples and gently rolling the nipple out. After your nipple stands out, massage it well with little olive oil. Nursing will not cause your breasts to become flabby, if you wear well-fitting brassier. Buy yourself a few maternity dresses, which today come in many attractive designs and shapes. Do not forget that a large 'percentage' of attractiveness is accounted for by good grooming and good posture.

    The clothes should be comfortable and well fitting with allowances for future expansion. Also discard high heeled shoes and wear comfortable low heeled flat shoes.

    Towards the later months many women develop varicose veins. Varicose veins is a disease in which the veins become very enlarged and protrude out of the skin. Varicose veins mostly develop in the legs. The women who develop this condition are the ones whose occupation requires standing or sitting for long periods.

    It is wise that during pregnancy, you do as much of your work as possible in a sitting position with your feet propped up.When you have to be on your feet, it is better to move around than to stand still. If you develop this condition, wear plastic stockings before you get up from your bed. Report your condition immediately to your doctor. Besides, you should lie down at least once every day for at least one hour in a body slant position.

    Sometimes swelling of legs, ankles, feet, fingers­and face too-may appear during the last months. The cause of swelling is the retention of water in the tissue spaces of the body; a high intake of salt favors the retention of water, which is why you should eliminate or use very little salt in your diet and reduce the intake of liquids.

    The pressure of the body on the large blood vessels in the later months may give rise occasionally to bouts of light headedness and sometimes fainting. If this occurs, you will feel better if you lie down for a few minutes. Also increase your intake of iron.

    Sometimes your sleep maybe interrupted by hard muscular cramps in the calves of your legs. Massage the cramped area vigorously and apply hot water bottle or heating pad to the area.

    Heartburn and flatulence are the other common disturbances of pregnancy. Heartburn is a kind of burning feeling which is noted at the lower end of the breast bone­therefore, the name Heartburn. To prevent this eat smaller meals at regular intervals rather then the bigger ones. To prevent flatulence or the formation of gas in the body, eat light and nourishing foods rather than rich and heavy foods.

    Proper care of the skin and hair is specially important during pregnancy. A daily bath with a mild fragrant soap is a must. Clean your skin both morning and night with milk cream to which a little lime juice and turmeric powder has been added. Every morning before you go in for your bath take a teaspoon of curd and mix in a few drops each of almond oil and essence of rose. Rub it well into the skin and remove with cotton wool. This will soothe and feed the skin.

    For the night make this skin food to four tablespoons of cream of milk add one tablespoon each of almond oil, cucumber juice, honey, rose water and lime juice. Mix well and put in a small jar and store either in the fridge or a cool, dry place. Apply every night before going to bed. Remove in the morning with a piece of cotton wool, then splash on cold water. This will put a bloom on your cheeks and sparkle in your complexion.

    Wear minimum of makeup. If you have a tendency to develop rashes it will be exaggerated during pregnancy. Sometimes pigmentation of the skin takes place or the formation of small areas in which the minute skin veins become prominent. There is no remedy for these ailments but they disappear soon after pregnancy. You should give up all our social engagements and lead a very moderate life. Your motto should be Early to Bed and Early to Rise. Good sleep, fresh air, regular skin care, exercise coupled with right diet should give you health, strength and beauty throughout the time you are 'expecting.'

    Beauty Care For The Working Women

    A career woman is a very busy woman. She has not only to go to office and handle a lot of exacting chores but she has also to look after the household after her responsibilities at the desk are over. This leaves her with little time to look after herself and yet she needs to look neat and attractive in her place of work. What you require is to take one day off every week and reserve it for beautifying yourself. Make it Sunday when usually everyone has a holiday. This day should belong exclusively to you. Rest, relax and beautify yourself and see how the next day you will not only look more beautiful and attractive but be lighter and brighter both in body and spirit. This one day beauty.care is not only meant to beautify you but it is also health-giving and prolongs your youthfulness. On this day be as 'lazy' as possible, stay in bed as long as you like and stay off the telephone because talking takes as much energy as working.

    Take a light diet on this day to give, your over worked digestive system a rest. Here is a sample of the Sunday diet.

    Breakfast

        * One glass orange juice
        * Cornflakes with milk.
        * Tea or coffee.

    Mid-morning

        * One cup skimmed milk with 1 biscuit. (You can substitute milk for tea or coffee.)

    Lunch

        * Steamed chicken or fish.
        * One green or yellow vegetable.
        * One salad of raw vegetables.
        * Fruit of choice.

       
         
       

    Mid-afternoon

        * Tea, coffee, milk or soft drink with 1 biscuit.

    Dinner

        * Soup
        * Mutton stew
        * Bread
        * Fruit.

    Bedtime

        * One cup skimmed milk with honey.

    After taking your breakfast, rest for a while and then go in for your bath. Lock yourself in and get to work. Start with chores like 'defusing' your legs or arms, dealing with superfluous hair on the face, washing and setting your hair and doing your nails. All these chores need to be done regularly for a well-groomed look.

    Now take your bath. Fill the bathtub with lukewarm water and put in a few drops of your favorite essence. Then, lie back in the tub and try to keep your mind blank think of absolutely nothing for 10 minutes or try to dwell upon happy things. Let your arms and legs float in the water, splash them around a little and let the ripples in the bath water float over you. Get out of the bath and pat yourself dry and give yourself a facial.

    After all this, you should emerge from the bathroom, both refreshed and invigorated. Now have your lunch and go to bed. Do not talk, do not gossip, do not work, for this day is for you and for the next six days you will be for others-what a relaxed, beautiful and changed person you will be !

    As regards the skin, clean your face both morning and night because, as you are out in the open for long periods, your skin takes on more dust and grime than the women who stay at home.

    However tired you may be after a late night, do not hop into your bed without removing every trace of your makeup otherwise your pores will get clogged and your skin will become sick. Every night before going to bed give your skin a little nourishment by rubbing in a little cream of milk blended with lime juice and a pinch of turmeric powder. Use only a dusting of powder, a soft shade of lipstick and a touch of rouge for the office. And always carry your makeup kit with you to 'do' yourself up before leaving for your home.

    Also pay greatest attention to your personal cleanliness so that you will not only feel fragrant but also fresh and lively the whole day through. So use a little bath essence, toilet water and dusting powder and also use deodorant regularly whether you think you need it or not.

    Dress for Durga Puja









    The festive season in Mumbai is popular not only with the Gujarati community; everybody wants to be part of it. So before you pick up those colourful dandiya sticks, make sure you’re wearing clothes and
     accessories to match. You can buy them or rent them. It’s simple, and a whole lot of fun.



    Nine nights of music, dance, worship…that’s what Navratri is all about. Though the 10 pm deadline dampens the spirit, there are still many reasons to go out there, join the club and rejoice. What reasons, you ask? Why, dolling up for Navratri in itself is the best part of this happy fest!
    People in Ahmedabad and Baroda are so enthusiastic about Navratri that they get special dresses stitched for all nine days. In some parts of Gujarat, it is believed that nine different colours must be worn for nine nights. As per local newspapers, these are the colours for September 2009:

    Pratipada - Sep 19, Sat - Dark Green
    Dwitiya - Sep 20, Sun - Orange
    Tritiya - Sep 21, Mon - White
    Chaturthi - Sep 22, Tues - Red
    Panchami - Sep 23, Wed - Blue
    Shasti - Sep 24, Thurs - Yellow
    Saptami - Sep 25, Fri - Peacock Green
    Ashtami - Sep 26, Sat - Parrot Green
    Navami - Sep 27, Sun - Purple


    Navratri and Durga puja (worship of Goddess Durga) are very important to Kolkata’s tradition. The shops are all lit up with special offers running; its that time of the year when the locals shop till they drop!
    Keep in mind that you’re up for a traditional dance and music event (dandiya raas and garba) where everybody is going to be at their traditional best, what with those heavy, glitzy outfits. If you end up in your rugged jeans and t-shirt, you’re probably going to feel like an outcast! So check out these Navratri dressing tips.
    For raas garba, men usually wear a chorno - a dress consisting of cotton drawers, and a short top called kediyu or angarakhu. The head is covered with a vivid turban called phento. Bottoms comprise of a loose, embroidered robe called dhoti. The traditional male outfit is adorned with accessories like neck piece, bali (ear piece) and kada. The outfit, especially the kediyu, looks fabulous while performing garba. Guys who want to dress lighter could simply opt for a traditional kurta and pants. Add a bright stole or bandhani dupatta for that traditional touch. Wear mojaris to complement the outfit but I say, dance barefoot!
    Girls dress up in a chaniya-choli which consists of three pieces: a blouse (choli), a skirt (ghagra) and odhani (a stole of sorts). What sets the chaniya-choli apart from the regular ghagra-choli is the rich design, embroidery and mirror/abhala work on it.

    More Tips On Emo Dressing or How To Be An Perfect EMO

    Vintage t-shirts are probably the most recognizable “emo” fashion item around, especially on eBay. A proper emo shirt should be tight-fitting, show at least a little wear, and be at least 10 years old, if not older. A funny/ironic slogan is definitely a plus.


    Now, don’t forget the ever important “ringer” shirt! These were quite popular in the late 70s, and there was a recent resurgence the past couple of years. Don’t get fooled into buying a new ringer shirt, the trained emo eye should be able to quickly discern between the two.

    A close cousin of the ringer is the jersey. Jerseys are often sports-related, and although emo kids are notoriously unathletic, they have no qualms with sporting (no pun intended, I swear) classic soccer and softball duds.

    Looking for something a little nicer? Another standby is the polo shirt, and ESPECIALLY the striped polo. Its a universal clothing item, you can wear it to an emo concert, to church with your mom, or even out on a date, even though true emo kids are too shy to ever go out on dates.

    The crown jewel of the striped polo line is the IZOD striped polo, sure to dazzle and amaze just about anyone! Regular old IZOD shirts are cool too, as are their competitors, such as LeTigre, Sears Dragon, and The Fox. Izod and LaCoste briefly teamed up in the 80s to bring these shirts to you, these days they are only available by the far snootier and preppy LaCoste. Find an Izod if you can.

    S.O.S - Rihanna

    I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
    And I'm aggressive just one thought of close enough
    You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
    'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
    I'm the question and you're of course the answer
    Just hold me close boy 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
    You make me shaken up, never mistaken
    But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help

    S.O.S. please someone help me
    It's not healthy for me to feel this way
    Y.O.U. are making this hard
    I can't take it, see it don't feel right
    S.O.S. please someone help me
    It's not healthy for me to feel this way
    Y.O.U. are making this hard
    You got me tossin' and turnin' and can't sleep at night

    This time please someone come and rescue me
    'Cause you on my mind it's got me losing it
    I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
    Love is testing me but still I'm losing it
    This time please someone come and rescue me
    'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
    I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
    Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

    Just your presence and I second guess my sanity
    Yes it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity
    My tummy's up in knots so when I see you I get so hot
    My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock
    Take on me you know inside you feel it right

    'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
    I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me

    This time please someone come and rescue me
    'Cause you on my mind got me losing it
    I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
    Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

    Fabulous Flirting Tips and Flirting Facts for Females..

    How to tell if he likes you
    (and if he's flirting with you in his special own guy-way).

    A lot depends on the type of guy and his individual personality.

    Shy Guys
    These are tough to crack sometimes...
    He'll look at you, until you turn around, then boom, he's looking the other way.
    You may 'feel' like he's watching you - but he's hard to catch at it
    He may do something physical - like grab you in a play way, poke you, play with your hair...
    (Remember when you were really young and the guy you liked punched you or tackled you?)
    He may be working really hard to pay attention to you, but doesn't quite know how...
    He may ask a friend of yours about you - he'll say it's just for "friend of mine" that wants to know about you.
    He talks to everybody else - but when you're around he turns silent, or chokes up.
    You seem to accidentally bump into him a lot of different places.
    He may not say a word to you, but he shows up in the same line, at the same movie, etc.
    He'll give you a little smile from across the room, but if you get near, he won't look up.
    Basically - the BIG clue is that his behavior changes when you're around (compared to when he's around his buds or other girls).
    DEAD Giveaway - when you talk to him he turns red.
    (Bingo - you can pack that puppy up and take him home...)

    Love Prediction

    Divine Love
    by M.S. Beltran

    Throughout the ages, impatient singles have sought mystical means in order to foresee their romantic future. Consider these divination practices and internet dating services may not seem like such a bad idea after all:

    Love Omens:

    If someone sweeping the floor sweeps over your feet, it is a sign that you will never marry.

    If you are making a quilt or bedspread and don't finish it, you will never marry.

    If a bachelor places a bachelor's buttons plant in his pocket on Valentine's day and it continues to bloom, he will be lucky in love all the year through.

    If you catch a falling leaf on Valentine's day before it hits the ground, you'll have a year of happy relationships.

    Gypsies who wanted to know if they would marry would ask a mule. If both the mule's ears twitched, it meant yes. If only one twitched, it meant maybe. If the mule's ears were still, the answer was no.

    Take two chestnuts. Name one for yourself and one for your love. Place them on a fire log. If they burn quietly, you will have a harmonious relationship. If the one named for your love pops or sputters, your love will be tumultuous. If the one named for you pops or sputters, you will lose interest in your love.

    To Find Out Whom You Will Wed:

    Find a four leaf clover and cut it in half. Place the half in your shoe and go for a walk. The first person you meet will have the same initials as your future spouse.

    Make a list of the names of all the people you might possibly wed. Hold an apple by the stem and spin it, calling out the names. The name you speak when the stem breaks and the apple falls will be the one you will marry.

    Peel an apple skin in one, long strip and toss it over your left shoulder. The letter it forms is the initial of your future love's Christian name.

    Beneath the moon on Valentine's day, crack an egg into a bowl of water. The shape the white takes will hint at the occupation of the one you will wed.

    Place a knife on a table before you and spin it clockwise. If the blade faces towards you when it stops, your future mate will have dark hair. If it faces away from you, your future mate will be fair.

    To find out who you will marry, write the names of all the men or women you know on hazelnuts (one name per nut). Roast them over an open fire. The first one to pop is the one with whom you are destined to be.

    With an apple and a knife, stand before a mirror. Slice the apple into pieces. Stick a pieces on the point of the knife and hold it over your left shoulder. As you gaze into the mirror, you will see a vision of your future spouse appear behind you to take the apple.

    Go to a church at midnight on Midsummer's Eve. Walk around it 9 times while sprinkling hemp seeds and saying, "As the hemp seeds I do sow, who will follow me and mow?" You will see a vision of your future life partner. Unfortunately, since hemp (marijuana) is illegal, don't be surprised if it is a police officer.

    To Dream Of Your Future Mate:

    Wear your nightgown inside-out.

    Place a mirror under your pillow.

    Rub your head with citrus peel before retiring.

    Place two bay leaves under your pillow in a cross.

    Place a sprig of cinquefoil with seven leaflets under your pillow.

    Place a sprig of thyme in your left shoe and a sprig of rosemary in your right; place your shoes at the foot of your bed for the night to dream of your future lover.

    What Men Really Want

    You'd be surprised at what it isn't!!

    An insight into the mind and make-up of the opposite sex can be an invaluable tool, especially in relationships. As with most things, the subject of what men really want from women has been the topic of many debates... and quite a few arguments!

    I am sure that many of you have heard a guy say something along the lines of, "I would sleep with her, but would marry her (another woman)." Well, what does that actually mean? It means that, when it comes to relationships, a guy has two main focuses: sex and companionship. The ideal woman, therefore, would satisfy both!

    With regards to sex, contrary to popular belief, it is not looks that drives a man wild, it's attitude. He wants a woman to captivate his imagination. Someone that oozes confidence in every way: the way she walks, talks, dresses and looks. He wants a woman that, while she holds herself with class, also protrays that she wants him as much as he wants her. He wants someone that will play with his emotions sexually, someone that will tease him, force him to chase her and yet will also allow him to capture her... a little bit at a time :-)

    On the other hand, he also, more than anything, wants a soulmate and a friend. Someone who is loving, caring, affectionate and tender. Someone he can talk to and also have fun with. He wants someone that will love him unconditionally. someone who is there for him when he needs her, yet also someone who he can be there for too.

    He is looking for a best friend that will laugh at his jokes, no matter how dumb they are. Someone that will take an interest in the things he likes, even sports. Someone that will not try to change him, yet at the same time will help him to improve and grow where it is needed. He wants someone that will trust, respect and admire him, despite all his faults. His ideal partner will focus on his good qualities more than they criticize his faults.

    If there were a set of guidelines for how to make a man feel special, I think UsedtobeBlonde expressed it best in our Male's Perspective forum:

    1. Told him I wouldn't change anything about him.

    2. Didn't interupt him when he spoke.

    3. I was his biggest fan and had faith in him even when he doubted himself.

    4. Listened to head banger music (even though I'm mostly country).

    5. Laughed at his dumb jokes (even the blonde ones).

    6. Watched NASCAR racing with him (and liked it).

    7. Helped him launch the boat (even though it scares me and he knows it).

    8. Baked him M&M cookies.

    9. Respected him.

    10. Trusted him completly.

    11. Threw my cats out of my bed when he was here.

    12. Drove when he was tired.

    13. Looked in his eyes and listened when he talked.

    14. Admired his muscles.

    15. Always took his side.

    Love Letters - "For Someone Very Special"

    I miss you. I miss you deeply!
    I wish I could be with you to fill you with kisses and tell sweet things in those pretty little ears of yours. If you had any idea how much I’m missing you right now, you’d be flying over here, to hug me and kiss me and reassure me of your love one more time.
    How can you miss someone this much? How can love, such an “abstract” thing, take up so much of my thoughts, being as rational as I am? What makes it such a strong feeling? And why this constant need to see you, to be with you? Am I going crazy? I think I am...
    And if so, going crazy over someone as special as you are is a sign of good taste, to say the least, for there must only be a few number of people in the world with so many special characteristics as you have.
    I can’t stand being away from you, because when that happens it’s as if time doesn’t move, the hours become longer and boring and there’s nothing – not even a fine glass of wine – that can bring some comfort. I fight loneliness and can’t wait to be with you face to face, to touch you and kiss you gently, softly.
    Be sure these will be very special kisses because you’re worth it.

    I love you and miss you
