5 Simple Tips To Fix 5 Mistakes We Almost All Make When We Put On Makeup.

This article will discuss the most common mistakes and the best tips to quickly fix them without having to take off all of your makeup…

In this article, you will find five of the most common mistakes and the best tips to quickly fix them without having to take off all of your makeup…

We hope you’ll like them and that they’ll help you easily improve your personal image…

“I’VE PUT ON TOO MUCH FOUNDATION”

This is a very common mistake that we all make when we put on makeup. If you are totally made up, to take off any excess foundation, do the following:

  • Lightly moisten a clean sponge with water (the sponge should be almost dry and without any makeup residue) and sponge all of your face with downward movements.

TIP: It’s very important, most of all, to avoid excess foundation and concealer around the eyes. To eliminate any excess in this area, perform the same step and afterwards use your fingertips to softly blur the product in that area.

____________________________

“MY EYESHADOW LOOKS TOO DARK”

If you’ve put on too much eyeshadow, or it looks too dark, follow these steps to quickly fix the problem:

  • If it happened on your upper eyelid, blur the eyeshadow toward the edges with a clean brush to reduce the color. If it still looks very dark, apply a little bit of matte cream eyeshadow with a brush (if you don’t have cream eyeshadow, you can use translucent powder) and blur the eyeshadow.
  • If it happened on the lower part of your eye, use a fine, clean brush to blur, or pat it softly with a Q-tip.
  • If as you were blurring, you’ve left the contour of the eyelid and the shadow looks very dark, blur it with a clean sponge and afterwards apply a little bit of foundation, patting lightly to fix the foundation.

____________________________

“I’VE PUT ON TOO MUCH BLUSH”

If you applied too much blush, try the following tip:

  • Stroke your cheek with a thick, loose powder bush—the brush should be completely clean. If you still have too much blush on, apply translucent or clear powder with the same brush, just over the blush. That way the two powders should mix, clarifying the original color.

____________________________

“I’VE PUT TOO MUCH MAKEUP ON MY EYEBROWS”

When we put too much makeup on our eyebrows, we look harsh and we can’t even recognize ourselves. Follow the following tip to quickly solve this:

  • Simply brush the eyebrow with a clean Q-tip, going against the grain of your eyebrow. You will see how quickly the color you initially applied disappears.

____________________________

“I’VE SMEARED MASCARA ON MY EYELID”

That’s all right. Just follow these next steps and you’ll see how you can quickly fix the problem:

  • Continue applying makeup and when you have finished, allowing enough time for the mascara to dry, apply a Q-tip right over the smudge. You’ll see how it quickly disappears and you don’t need to remove the makeup from your whole eye.

TIP: A good trick to avoid smudging yourself is applying makeup first to your inferior eyelashes and then to the superior.

Cardiovascular diseases are getting very common these days, and one of the main reasons behind them is the change of lifestyle which is getting unhealthy and inactive with every passing day. Still, by making some small efforts and changing our lifestyle, this problem can be avoided to a certain extent.

Here are some tips for a healthy heart.

  1. Eat more grains, vegetables, greens, fresh fruits, fish, seeds and yogurt. Avoid fast food altogether and try cooking at home.
  2. Eat less of milk, cheese and nuts. Keep a strict look at cholesterol level. Monitor it regularly and consult your doctor immediately in case of anything unusual.
  3. Add garlic to your recipes. Its benefits are strongest when raw and crushed or finally chopped. It is advised to use it before breakfast with an empty stomach. Have a whole clove or two, put them in your mouth and gulp it down with water just like a pill. Don’t overdo as it may lead to digestive disorder.
  4. Use foods like carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes and dark leafy greens. They contain beta-carotene which is very good for cardiac health.
  5. Reduce sodium in your diet. Try to limit your salt (sodium chloride) intake to no more than 1.25 tablespoons per day.
  6. Eat regular meals. Try to have small frequent meals. They are easier to digest and provide constant energy to body.
  7. Drink at least 8 glasses a day. Water is not only beneficial to your heart but also to your overall health.
  8. Switch to tea from coffee.
  9. Exercise regularly. Your muscles are fat burning machines. Use this machine efficiently.
  10. If possible, take the stairs instead of elevator or escalator.
  11. Do the housework yourself. Think of it as an extra chance to exercise.
  12. Try to maintain healthy weight. Find out your ideal body weight with respect to your height and make efforts to stay within in the prescribed limits.

Remember back in the day when people would tie a string around their finger? Well, that was a strategy they used to remember things that they needed to do. It served as a reminder that there were things that had not been done yet. It served as a visualization tool. Whenever they saw the string, it let them know that they needed to finish the job.

With all of the electronic organisers available nowadays, it’s highly unlikely that anyone is using a piece of string anymore. Nevertheless, developing our memory and the ability to recall information is an important skill both socially and intellectually and there are things that you can do that can help to improve your memory. You can make them part of your routine every day.

1. Be Attentive

Attention is one of the major components of memory. The most basic memory exercise is to simply tell yourself to remember. The simple step of developing a habit of actively paying attention can save much frustration. If remembering the name of somebody you just meet is an issue - pay attention at the introduction. Listen to the name and repeat it in your memory a number of times. Tell yourself, “remember that”. This signals the unconscious mind to rank this input higher in importance.

2. Rehearse or Repeat.

Short term memory only lasts for about 20-30 seconds without rehearsal of the information. That’s why it is easy to forget a name after introduction. Rehearsal or repeating the information helps move it from short-term memory to long term memory. To aid this shift, consider the meaning of the information, why do you want to remember it, why is it important, and how will you remember it.

3. Chunking

Short term memory is limited to the number of items it can hold. In 1956, George Miller of Princeton University wrote an article “The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two”. Miller’s article discussed memory span which refers to the longest list of items that a person can repeat back in correct order immediately after being presented with the information. Miller observed that the memory span is approximately 7 chunks of information, where a chunk can be a collection of related items. For example, being asked to recall a 10 digit telephone number (0261467375) as separate digits would be 10 chunks, and exceeds Millers suggested recall capacity, but “chunking” the 10 digits into a groups such as 0261-467-375 now becomes 3 chunks and much easier to recall.

4. Use Mnemonic Techniques

Mnemonic techniques are often used as a method of recall, especially by students. A mnemonic is simply a way to remember information. They actually work, and yet many people don’t want to take the time and effort to set them up. The best mnemonics are those that utilize positive imagery, humor, or novelty. You might come up with a rhyme, song, or joke to help remember a specific segment of information. In making check-lists you can use the first letter of each checklist item to make a word (whether the word is real or not).

5. Use Visualisations

Some people are very strong at creating mental images. Why not create a mental snapshot to enhance a memory. For example, you are away from your home, and you remember that you must program the television recorder on your return. Create a strong visualisation where you see yourself in your mind entering your dwelling, walking immediately up to the television, picking up the handheld remote and pressing the keys. When you return home, and pass the television you are more likely to recall that you need to program the recorder.

6. Use External Aids

Often people make life harder by trying to recall an item from memory rather than recording it on a note pad or electronic device. Always keep some recording device nearby, whether “old school” pen and notebook, or electronic organiser. Whatever you do, don’t write items on little bits of loose paper, I’ll wager you mislay the bit of paper more often than not

7. Being Organised

Maybe this is not a memory tip, but trying to remember where those car keys, or reading glasses are when they a randomly put down is frustrating and time consuming. Create an organised environment to live in where items that are often used are returned to fixed locations. Now you don’t have to waste time trying to recall where you put that item down. As the old expression says “A place for everything, and everything in its place”.

Pernahkah anda terfikir sayuran berwarna terang sebenarnya mempengaruhi kesihatan kita? Pernahkah juga kita berfikir setiap sesuatu yang Allah ciptakan sebenarnya memberi manfaat besar kepada kehidupan manusia jika digunakan dengan sewajarnya.

Sebagai menambahkan pengetahuan anda, warna pada tumbuhan adalah terhasil daripada fitokimia. Ia bukan saja membuatkannya kelihatan sedap apabila dipandang, tetapi juga membekalkan khasiat yang penting kepada kesihatan seseorang.

Oleh itu, suri rumah dan ibu perlu bijak memilih sayuran dan buah yang berwarna terang ini untuk dihidangkan kepada keluarga kerana menerusi amalan memakan sayuran jenis ini boleh menjadi perisai yang baik kepada tubuh daripada serangan penyakit merbahaya.

Bagi kalangan selebriti di Barat yang sangat mementingkan diet sihat, mereka lebih cenderung memilih sayuran yang berwarna terang sama ada yang berwarna merah, jingga, ungu dan kuning kerana faktor nutrien yang terkandung di dalamnya.

Jika kita lihat warna merah pada sebiji tomato adalah disebabkan kandungan lycopene atau karotenoid di dalamnya, di mana kandungan lycopene didapati semakin bertambah banyak ketika buah itu matang. Kajian juga mendapati sebiji tomato merah mengandungi kadar lycopene yang lebih tinggi berbanding sebiji tomato berwarna kuning.

Lycopene bertindak sebagai ejen antioksida yang membantu tubuh menyerap radikal bebas dan membaiki sel badan yang rosak dan menyahkan toksin yang menyebabkan penghasilan sel barah.

Antara sayuran dan buah yang berwarna adalah seperti tomato, tembikai, lada merah, lada benggala, labu, lobak merah, limau pomelo merah jambu dan merah.

Beta karotene adalah sejenis karotenoid yang menyebabkan sayuran atau buah itu berwarna jingga seperti lobak merah.

Secara semula jadi tubuh akan menukar beta karotene kepada Vitamin A jika diperlukan. Pada masa sama beta karotene bertindak sebagai ejen anti oksida yang melindungi tubuh dari kebanyakan jenis kanser dan penyakit jantung, memperlahankan kemaraan penyakit mata seperti katarak dari merebak.

Lobak, buah labu, mempelam dan buah aprikot adalah sebahagian contoh kumpulan makanan berwarna jingga. Sebagai contoh, labu adalah sumber Vitamin B6 yang baik, selain sayur-sayuran hijau seperti bayam merah juga banyak mengandungi beta karotene.

Sementara itu, kumpulan sayuran atau buah yang berwarna jingga kuning pula mengandungi beta-crytoxanthin yang diklasifikasikan secara kimia sebagai xanthophylls iaitu kandungan ejen anti kanser dan mampu mempertingkatkan fungsi jantung.

Beta-crytoxanthin membekalkan aktiviti anti oksida dalam tubuh.

Nanas, oren, betik, jagung manis, nectarines, buah limau nipis dan peach tergolong  dalam kumpulan makanan jingga kuning. Bromelin dalam nanas dan papain di dalam betik adalah enzim proteolitik yang mampu membantu meningkatkan fungsi penghadaman tubuh badan kita. Pisang pula membekalkan Vitamin B6 yang mampu mengawal hormon.

Pengambilan yang banyak buahan dan sayuran yang kaya dengan lutien dan zeaxanthin dalam diet seharian iaitu buah dan sayuran yang tergolong mengandungi pigmen kuning pekat dan atau sayuran berdaun hijau tua mampu mengurangkan risiko penyakit kemerosotan macula dalam retina mata akibat peningkatan usia.

Antaranya seperti bayam, avocado, kacang hijau, kale, kubis, collard greens dan mustard greens adalah dari kumpulan makanan hijau kuning.

Bagi kumpulan sayuran hijau didapati mengandungi glucosinolates, sulforaphane, isothiocyanates dan indoles yang ada peranannya masing-masing kepada kesihatan yang baik.

Sulforaphane dalam tumbuhan bersifat anti karsinogenik (anti kanser), manakala sulforaphane dan isothiocyanates adalah ejen anti oksida yang merangsang pengeluaran enzim penyah toksin asli yang mujarab kepada tubuh. Indoles pula mampu mengelakkan sel-sel badan dari kerosakan sel dan penyakit kanser.

Iaitu seperti brokoli, kubis Brussels, Bok Choy, kubis bunga dan kubis adalah ahli kumpulan hijau. Kebanyakan sayuran cruciferous (tergolong dalam keluarga sayur kubis) berperanan mengurangkan risiko kanser.

Umpamanya brokoli sumber yang kaya dengan Vitamin A, Vitamin C, beta-karotene dan asid folik yang sangat baik. Kubis juga tidak mengandungi kolesterol, berkalori rendah dan sumber Vitamin C yang bagus. Kubis bunga pembekal folat yang baik.

Bawang putih, bawang merah dan kucai tergolong dalam kumpulan makanan putih dan berbau tajam. Ia mengandungi allyl sulfides yang juga ejen anti tumor, selain mampu mengurangkan kolesterol tidak baik dan tekanan dalam darah.

Dikatakan kumpulan makanan berwarna ungu sama ada buahan, sayuran atau bunganya berwarna merah, ungu dan biru ungu mengandungi anthocyanin; iaitu ejen anti oksida terbaik. Pigmennya mudah larut dalam air dan mampu memantulkan warna merah hinggalah ke biru.

Ia mampu melindungi badan dari kerosakan osidatif yang menyebabkan penyakit jantung, kanser dan penuaan. Anggur ungu, beri biru, beri hitam, rasberi, kranberi, plum, buah prun, kismis, buah terung, blackcurrant dan kubis ungu tergolong dalam kumpulan makanan ungu.

Ada pelbagai cara digunakan untuk menurunkan berat badan. Antara cara yang mudah dilakukan adalah menambah serat dalam sajian makanan.

Pelbagai kajian mendapati makanan berserat tinggi bukan saja membantu mengurangkan risiko barah, serangan sakit jantung dan tekanan darah tinggi, malah ia membuatkan kita kenyang dan membantu untuk mengurangkan kalori yang diambil setiap hari.

Cuma, ramai yang berfikir kita perlu menjamah bijirin yang rasanya mungkin tidak sesedap mana bagi mengikut saranan pengambilan 30 gram serat setiap hari.

Selain oat dan bijirin penuh yang kaya dengan kandungan serat, serat juga boleh dijamah dalam pelbagai jenis makanan.

Ada beberapa cara mudah untuk menambah serat dalam makanan. Antara cara berkenaan termasuk:

  • Hiris halus bawang dan bawang putih. Satu pertiga cawan campuran bawang berkenaan boleh ditambah ketika menyediakan telur hancur. Menerusi jumlah terbabit, ia akan menambah kira-kira satu gram serat.
  • Kisar sebiji oren untuk dinikmati di waktu pagi untuk menambah pengambilan serat.
  • Gunakan mentega sapuan berserat misalnya badam untuk disapu pada roti. Dua sudu besar mentega kekacang itu menambah dua gram serat.
  • Selepas menikmati kopi, jika ingin terus menikmati minuman panas, gantikan dengan coklat panas. Kebanyakan campuran koko segera mempunyai sebanyak tiga gram serat secawan.
  • Bagi yang menggemari jagung, bertih jagung juga mempunyai serat. Oleh itu, jika teringin mengunyah, pilihan bertih jagung lebih baik daripada kerepek kentang. Pilihan lain yang banyak serat adalah jagung manis.
  • Ketika memasak sup kegemaran, campurkan setengah cawan kacang kuda. Bahan ini menyerap rasa sup dan menyediakan kira-kira enam gram serat.
  • Sayuran disarankan iaitu campuran brokoli, kubis bunga dan lobak merah, menyediakan tiga hingga lima gram serat setiap sajian. Jumlah itu adalah kira-kira dua kali ganda lebih banyak berbanding kandungan serat sayuran terbabit yang dimakan mentah.
  • Untuk penggemar coklat, pilihan menarik adalah coklat yang disediakan dengan tambahan ramuan kekacang.
  • Apabila menikmati aiskrim, tambahkan ia dengan beberapa jenis buah-buahan segar seperti rasberi, strawberi, beri biru atau pisang yang banyak kandungan serat.
  • Pes tomato juga banyak serat dan ia boleh dipelbagaikan dalam pelbagai jenis masakan.

When there is a great confusion between dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, you must know that the first is a symptom of the latter. Do you have an older loved one who repeats words over and over? How about your mom forgetting her list of errands? The brain becomes worn through the ages and it is important to watch for changes in one’s memory functions as the body grows old. Know that there is no cure for Alzheimer’s Diseases and to watch for the early signs can help one prepare for the later stages of this serious condition.

What are the Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease?

  1. Those who are likely candidates for this condition will suffer short-term memory loss, where they forget recent events, actions, or even a conversation. Those with Dementia can forget everything.
  2. Someone with dementia loves repetition - from stories to words. They also ask the same questions for the nth time no matter how many times you have answered them.
  3. Early signs can also include struggling to remember basic words, or having difficulty speaking.
  4. People with dementia have mood swings, where they become upset for no apparent reason. They may even stop doing things they enjoy doing.
  5. One can also get easily disoriented and confused, like being lost in one’s own neighborhood.
  6. An obvious signs of Alzheimer’s is lack of hygiene. Suddenly, a smart-dresser can turn sloppy, or even stop bathing.
  7. Those with Alzheimer’s have odd behaviors, like placing objects in unusual places. For example, putting shampoo in the fridge.

When you see these signs in your loved ones, it is important to stay your cool. You need to accompany him or her to a psychiatrist or neurologist. A variety of tests will be done, like a mental status test where a series of questions will be asked; neurological exams to check speech, coordination, and reflexes; and imaging tests like CT, MRI, or PET scans to help rule out tumors.

Are There Natural Ways to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease?

Prevention is definitely better than a cure. So, as early as now, you need to:

  1. Eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Love your wild blueberries, broccoli, spinach, and apples.
  2. Get as many antioxidants as you can get to help you fight free radicals. Love Vitamins C and E, dark chocolates, and green tea.
  3. Be aware of mercury content in fish or fish oil supplements and avoid it.
  4. Stop using aluminum antiperspirants or aluminum cookware.
  5. Get 3-5 hours of exercises a week. It doesn’t have to be a challenging fast routine. You can also do slow movements that can balance your mind and body like Tai Chi.
  6. Love mind games and challenge your brain to think. Playing musical instruments or doing puzzles are great ways to keep the brain in shape.
  7. Avoid stress. When you feel stressed, your body produces hormones that can damage your brain. Love the art of meditation, deep breathing, or binaural beats.

You may know someone who suffers the early warning signs and the toughest challenge is how to tell them that they do, specially when this condition has no cure. Should you stall? You might not want to tell your loved one that something is wrong, but you need to take action before the condition worsens. Besides, telling them early may just rule out the possibility of having Alzheimer’s. If they really have one, the sooner they get treated, the more effective this treatment will be. In the end, your loved one will need your moral support. Your Understanding Will Help!
