7 Tips For Healthy Contact Lens Wear This Halloween

by Barbara Lewis

Do you want to have the coolest costume this Halloween? The best way to do that is by wearing a pair of Halloween contact lenses. Before you run off to grab a set, read over these 7 tips to ensure your eyes will stay healthy and to get the most out of your lenses.

1) Soft contact lenses have a limited lifespan. Even when you take the best care of your Halloween contact lenses, they must be discarded after a pre-determined amount of time. Ask your eye care provider how long your particular lenses are designed to be used.

2) Always wash your hands before inserting or removing your contact lenses. Use a plain soap that does not contain extra moisturizers, as they may coat up your lenses.

3) Your lenses are for your eyes only. Never ever share your contact lenses with your friends. It is far too dangerous and easy to pass infection through contact lenses. Don’t even think about it.

4) Remove your lenses before sleeping at night. Halloween contact lenses are not designed to be worn while sleeping. Take off your lenses before you get into bed.

5) Your lenses must be prescribed by a licensed eye care provider. The actual costume effect, such as cat eyes, or dragon eyes do not have to be on the prescription. However, the actual fit of the lenses must be prescribed. This is true, even if you have perfect vision.

6) Use the recommended care system with your lenses. Some theatrical lenses may be ruined by certain types of solution. To protect your investment and your eyes, always follow instructions.

7) Buy your Halloween lenses from a reputable source. Never even consider buying lenses from untrusted sources. You never know where those lenses have been or if they have been sterilized and stored properly.

If you follow these tips this Halloween, your eyes will stay happy and healthy and you will have the best costume at the party.

Shape your Eyebrows

By: Juliet Cohen

Eyebrows can dramatically change your appearance. Tweezing your eyebrows is one of the most dramatic way to change your face without makeup or surgery. It can make your eyes look larger and give your face a clean, polished look. You may also need to fill your eyebrows in to give them an even look. Brow powders are often the best option. Use a wedge or thin liner brush to apply the powder. There are also eyebrow liners, which can be heavy. Or you can use eyebrow gels or a combination of gels, powders, and liners. Try not to draw on eyebrows. Eyebrows protect our eyes from dust and dirt and also frame the face to give it proportion.

Never tweeze your eyebrows on a special date or occasion. The last step is to remove any hairs that are in between your natural brows. An important eyebrow shaping tip is to replace your tweezers every year or so. Select tweezers that are slant-edged and have a rough textured point. Dip it in antiseptic before and after you tweeze. Try and tweeze and shape your eyebrows after you have washed your face. Threading is a method of shaping your eyebrows with a length of thread and has been popular in China, India and the Middle East. Since it is very precise, it allows the beautician to exercise control over the eyebrow shape. Waxing is not very suitable since you cannot control wax to remove individual hair.

What You Need:

1. A great pair of tweezers.

2. A mirror, preferably magnifying.

3. Anbesol or children's teething gel if you are afraid of pain.

Steps

1. Make sure that the beginning of the eyebrows aligns with the center of the nostril.

2. Pluck the extra hairs that stick out of your shape.

3. Have a friend there or work in front of a mirror so you pluck your eyebrows to the right shape.

4. Take a bag of half-melted ice, wrap it around a towel and rest on your eyebrows.

5. When you finish, remove the ice and you have flawless eyebrows.

Eye Beauty Tips for Asian Pacific Women

Blogger's Comment:
Why I interesting in this article? Because I am an Asian women.

Eye Beauty Tips for Asian Pacific Women

By: Jaks Lloyd

Overview

As many Asian women are exposed to fashion and beauty media aimed primarily at white Caucasian women, it is important to be aware of the subtle differences between the two although the beauty concepts are similar.


Appreciating the difference in skin, eyes and hair is essential to making the most of the natural and exotic beauty enjoyed by so many Asian Pacific women.

What works well for blond hair and blue eyes may prove to be ill suited or even a disaster for women of other ethnic groups.

The yellow and golden skin tones and exotic eye shape are the most outstanding difference that Asian Pacific women enjoy over women of other races and these are just the features that should be emphasized to create a naturally beautiful effect.

Just think how many leading actresses and photographic fashion models with Asian looks have become prominent in films, TV and magazines in the last decade.

Film makers, magazine editors, fashion houses have at last recognized the allure and naturally exotic beauty that so many Asian women possess.

At the same time the cosmetic industry has developed make up specifically designed to suit and enhance Asian skin tones.

An Asians woman's eyes are not only her best asset but also her biggest challenge when it comes to applying make up.

Generalities

Start by making sure you have good tools. Checking out the on line sites is the quickest and best way to compare prices and quality, and gives you time to consider your best buys.

Many Asian women think that they should use foundations and powder in shades, mainly pink that counteracts their natural skin tones.

More often than not this produces an unnatural look.

The use of yellow shaded facial products creates a naturally attractive clear modern look and does not make the skin more yellow looking, as many women believe.

Eye MakeUp Tips

Picking the right eye shadow brush. The ideal width should be 3/5 of the space between your eyebrows and upper lash line when your eyes are open. Choose a brush with good quality bristles.

Eye Shadow Colors. Experiment with colors that you think look good on you. For work and daytime think about more natural shades.

For looking great for going for the evening try brighter shades to give greater emphasis to your naturally beautiful almond eye shape.

Coral, orange or light grey can complement your skin shade and looks up to date and fashionable. Although widely used, be careful with some browns, which can give a dated look.

It's fun to experiment with eye shadows and liners and you can get some great effects.

Use a tapered contoured crease brush to create depth and size for the eyes. Eye lining pencils are the most important eye makeup tool for controlling the look of your eyes.

By drawing the line past the outer corner of the eye and blending it upwards you can emphasize the naturally longer and exotic look of your beautiful Asian eyes.

To downplay the exotic look at work or during the day, gradually thicken the eye line as you work towards the outer corner and stop just past the end.

Tips on applying mascara and enhancing the lashes apply to every woman.

Try using a lighter shade of eyeliner under the lower lashes and a heavier shade above the upper lashes if you want your eyes to appear deeper and more open.

Always use a light touch when applying eye make up, if you want to add depth then do so in easy stages, otherwise you may have to clean up and start all over again or feel uncomfortable with the make up looking caked on and unnatural.

When we meet people, whether it is for the first time or old friends, most will first look into each others eyes.

It is no wonder that it is said that the eyes are truly the mirrors of the soul. That first impression is important in so many situations that special attention to healthy, clear and beautiful eyes is worth the effort.

My Mint Tea Recipe (with lemon)

After work hard all day I used to drink mint tea for refresh. It is easy to prepare in 3-5 minutes. With something that you always have in your kitchen.


Ingredients :

• ½ teaspoon tea or 1 bag
• ½ teaspoon mint leaves
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
• 2-3 lemon
• Ice, if you like ice tea
  

Instructions :

1. Boil water.
2. Put tea and mint leaves in a scalded teapot.
3. Pour boiling water over the leaves.
4. Allow to stand 3 minutes.
5. Strain before serving.
6. Add honey or sugar and 2-3 drips of lemon. If you like.
7. You can serve in both hot or cold (add some ice).
   

Caution :
Do not put too much mint leave. Your tea will be too harsh to taste. (-_-" I have already tasted it.)


Note :

• Because I like mint so I grew it in a little flowerpot. Then I can pluck it fresh every time I want to use it. However, you can buy mint sprigs from market. Put its in some container with water and place the container in refrigerator. It can be fresh for week.
• You can use both honey or brown sugar depend on your personal taste. Honey could clean your inner organ , help you relax and easy to sleep.
  
• As for brown sugar, I always use brown sugar because it nutrients more than pure white sugar, which is essentially has no flavor other than sweetness.
• Lemons have high vitamin C content and contain unique flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. (For I myself, I just like the taste of lemon. So, I added it in tea).
  

How To Discover Beautiful Skin

by Franchis Adam

Everyone wants to have smooth and beautiful skin. You can achieve this by gathering the following ingredients, and following the simple steps below. It's simple and takes little time. A skin care program is the combination of skin care products and a routine that will be most beneficial to the skin. You will first need to consider your diet and lifestyle since these two factors play an important role in the health of a person's skin.Here's are the everyday habits you need to keep your skin beautiful:



These days we seem to be living in the fast-food age and the condition of your skin is often neglected. You still can't beat the old fruit and vegetable diet when it comes to good health and a good complexion.

* A bit of exercise and good sleep are vital, not just for skin care but for your health as a whole. A shortage of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Furthermore, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. In addition to being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.

* Drink plenty of water. Adequate amounts of water not only keep your skin moist, but can aid in the overall maintenance of your skin and body health. While this step doesn't seem like much of a challenge to some, it's one skin care tip that's often overlooked.

* Eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and leafy green. Good nutrition is the basic building block of healthy skin.

* Be gentle with your skin. After all, it's the only skin you have, and it is protecting your entire body. Don't scrub too harshly or exfoliate too often, and don't overdo your use of skincare products.

* Keep it clean. Cleanse your skin at least once or twice a day. This is a very important skin care tip that will help to rid your skin of dirt and bacterial elements. Cleansing is particularly important when you have been away from home and exposed to pollutants, dust and debris. Another good skin care tip is to use lukewarm water for cleansing, as water that's too hot or too cold can damage your tender skin.

* Screen your skin. Always use sunscreen to shield your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Use moisturizers containing sunscreen every day, even when the sun is not shining. It's been proven that UV rays cause skin cancer, so you can't afford to skip this tip.

*Throw away the soap and use quality products that are right for your skin type. Discuss your home skin-care routine with your esthetician.

* Remember to put sunscreen on exposed areas like the back of your hands, neck and chest. They're often the first place to show your age.

* Keep your skin moisturized at all times. The importance of moisturizer is one of the most important skin care tips. Don't allow your skin to get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to crack, causing a rough and unattractive appearance. Try moisturizers and emollients. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still wet.

* Avoid putting soap directly on your face. Soap should only be used on skin below the neck.

* Treat skin problems with care. This skin care tip is all about not ignoring any skin problems. Consult your dermatologist before you try a new skin care product (lest you do end up harming your skin even more).

Pack those vices

Needless to say, alcohol, smoking and drugs are not really the way to having great skin.
If you are fond of any or all of these, you know why your skin looks so unhealthy.

Preserving Fresh Cut Flowers

by flowers to go

More often than not flowers are viewed as temperamental gifts. Ephemeral in their nature, it's beauty wilts so fast, that they are only appreciated in fleeting moments, especially if they are not taken with adequate care and attention.

Flowers are often just stored in a water filled vase and then, at one, or at most two weeks, they begin to wilt and loose their splendor. Why not make your stunning red rose bouquet last longer than a week after you have been gifted with them? You can try these simple steps to help preserve fresh cut flowers.

Warm, not cold water can do wonders After receiving your beautiful bouquet of flowers, instantly arrange and pour warm water inside your vase. This would likely hasten the aging of your flowers, and will keep the flowers' shape longer.

Also, do try to put the flowers in a well-ventilated room and away from ethylene producing products, as this gas would permeate and promote aging.

Soda and bleach equals longer flower power Believe it or not, your regular soda and bleach can be very beneficial for flower preservation purposes. Past research had confirmed that soda provides substantial energy for the fresh cut flowers, while the bleach act as bacteria repellent.

These two ingredients would be more than adequate, as bacteria would start appearing and affecting your fresh cut flowers as early as three hours of immersion of it in water. The bleach would help keep the stems from bending and steadily help in keeping the growth of the flowers.

Here's a list of the things you'll need to have a longer lasting flower arrangement: 1 cup 7-Up 1/2 teaspoon household bleach 1 cup water

Now you can enjoy the smell and sight of your gorgeous flower bouquets for a longer period of time.

Are you the one who use to buy natural supplements or herbal remedies ?

Blogger comment :

Are you the one who use to buy natural supplements or herbal remedies ?
I am always asked my doctor about natural product before decide to buy its. This way is good for both of my health and my budget. However, some people may not want to go to see doctor every time. This article give your opinion about things that you should consider when you buy the said products.

Read This Before You Buy Natural Supplements Or Herbal Remedies

By: Larry Nelson

You should by all means buy herbal medicines, however you should definitely know what your looking for before setting out to buy. If you are unsure which herbal supplements can possibly replace some of your prescriptions, then you should consult with a qualified herbalist. Remedies that are of an herbal variety have healing, chemical effects within the body. Herbal remedies cause a various amount of positive changes within the body if taken according to the directions on the label.

It is important to know exactly what the herbs are you are buying and their effects and dangers. For example, Goldenseal is a great herb for for fighting infections, however it's drawback is that it is back for diabetics because it is a natural source of insulin. People with this condition should be very careful. However some individuals with this condition choose to mix licorice with their Goldenseal to lessen the effects of the insulin producer.

Lobelia is a helpful herb to include in your herbal medicine chest. Lobelia can be used as a nervous system tonic. It helps the user relax and can assist natural sleep. It can be taken internally or rubbed on the skin to induce relaxation and calm anxiety. Lobelia cannot be taken in large doses, however, as it can cause vomiting. Consequently, you particularly need to be careful when using it with children or the elderly as vomiting can cause dangerous dehydration.
Herbal remedies can also have individual effects on different people. Just as people can have reactions to pharmaceutical medications, they can also react badly to herbal remedies. Some people may enjoy astounding results from using certain herbal medications whereas others receive no obvious benefit at all. However, it is very important to understand that herbal remedies are not intended to provide a quick health fix and sometimes you need to take the supplements or remedies for a number of weeks or even months before you see improvement.
Your herbal medicine chest should always have Cayenne Pepper on hand for emergencies. Keep it handy in both pepper and supplement forms because Cayenne can stop bleeding and shock which can be very helpful in emergencies. If you sprinkle the loose powder onto a bleeding wound, it will stop the bleeding. The area will feel a little hot but the cayenne will not burn or blister. It may surprise you to know that cayenne can also stop internal bleeding by drinking it mixed with water. It can also be used to treat shock and allergic reactions to insect bites and stings.

One herb that is handy to have around is apple cider vinegar. It can be used to treat burns. One who is treating burns using apple cider vinegar can either apply it directly to the burns or soak cloths in it and then place the cloths on the burns. Another remedy used for burns, although mainly for sun burns, is plain black tea.

A great herb to have around for pain relief is, White Willow. This particular doesn't just relieve pain, it also reduces fevers and alleviates inflammation brought on by arthritis. White Willow is actually the origin of aspirin and many other drugs still used today. When you buy herbal supplements, in particular White Willow, it is important to obtain it in a one hundred percent pure form, ideally you should try to ingest it in a gel capsule form.

Before you buy herbal supplements, make sure you read the list of what the herbal supplement can potentially treat. Many people make the mistake of buying the wrong herbal supplement, and then when it does not treat their illness, they then blame herbal supplements as a whole. In fact most people who buy herbal supplements, that is the correct herbal supplements for their particular ailments, are indeed quite happy with their decision to use herbal remedies over traditional medicine.

Is there any way to stop hair loss?

By: Georgi Ivanikovin

A lot of things can cause excessive hair loss. For e.g. stress, illness, surgery, hormonal imbalance, hair or scalp infection, some medicines (like anticoagulants used for gout, chemotherapy, cancer), excess vitamins, birth control pills, antidepressants etc.Also, the pull on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. If the pulling is stopped before scarring of the scalp develops, your hair will grow back normally. However, scarring can cause permanent hair loss. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in permanents may cause inflammation of the hair follicle, which can result in scarring and hair loss. Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.

Nowadays, there are only 3 possible solutions to stop hair loss and stimulate hair re-growth.

1.Hair transplantant
2. Prescription drugs
3. Natural and safe treatment

Hair transplantant
A very expensive surgical operation, indicated to treat complete or partial baldness. It is very important consult to a doctor and pass different examinations to find out the possible risks and side effects. The successful result can't be guaranteed.

Prescription drugs
The most effective prescription drug used for treatment of hair loss in men is chemical finasteride. It can be taken only by men and never by women, especially pregnant! The known side effects include: impotence, decreased sex drive, premature ejaculation and decreasing the volume of semen. Nevertheless, this treatment can be really effective, but it has a very serious disadvantage. Propecia is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6-12 months of ceasing therapy! Propecia is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6-12 months of ceasing therapy!

Natural Treatment
Natural treatments is the best way to stop hair lost and promote faster hair re-grown. Natiral treatments haven`t side effects. PROFINAST , natural finasteride, is the newest solution to stop hair loss in men. A proper combination of herbs, micro-elements and vitamins makes it absolutely safe for both men and women. It acts by blocking formation of DHT which causes hair shrinkage and, in the long run, leads to a permanent hair loss. Our herbal pills stop heavy hair loss in just 7 days and in just 90 days one can get his lost hair back again. However, to maintain the complete reversal of hair loss and the normal hair cycle it takes less than a year. Unlike Propecia, it is absolutely safe and reliable for both men and women. The hair maintained won't be lost after ceasing the therapy.

Why Are Weight Loss Plans So Important?

If you alway have problem about your weight like I was, read this article may benefit to you.

Why Are Weight Loss Plans So Important?

By : Carl Walker

The biggest barrier to losing weight is how easy it is to get frustrated and give up when the pounds are not dropping off as quickly as you had hoped. Weight loss rarely happens at a sure and steady pace, and everyone who tries it is going to be faced with setbacks and disappointments. If you don't know what to expect ahead of time, you'll easily fall back into your old habits. That's why weight loss plans are so important.

The right weight loss plan will help you focus on your long term goals rather than immediate gratification. You will be able to look beyond the normal temporary fluctuations in weight because you know that if you stick to your plan, you will achieve your goals. If your plan is to lose four pounds a month, then gaining a pound now and then won't seem like such an insurmountable problem.

Furthermore, it's impossible to follow all of the weight loss advice out there. Weight loss plans help you focus on one particular path to success, rather than being distracted by all of the contradictory advice that dieters receive. Solid weight loss plans prevent you from spending all of your time following one trend after another. Instead, you'll be able to stick to a proven system to achieve your goals.

Finally, weight loss plans are oftentimes an important source of support and encouragement on your journey to become more fit and slender. Some plans, such as the Weight Watchers system, give you the opportunity to meet other people who are in the same boat as you are when it comes to weight loss. Others give you ways to meet fellow dieters online. Either way, you have the chance to share advice and tales of success with other people who share your diet philosophy, providing vital support.

Weight loss plans help you take a more organized approach to ridding yourself of extra pounds. Find out which one is best for you today.

Seasonal Makeup Tips and Tricks for Eyes, Cheeks and Lips.

- By: Edward Azorbo

This season makeup will be a complement to your image, so we’re going to explain, step by step, the flattering and easy-to-use trends so that you are gorgeous and up-to-date on the latest!

Makeup

There are various flattering trends this season. One the one hand there are natural looks in earth tones, with lined but neutral-toned eyes, and transparent but shiny lips. On the other hand there are the more sexy looks with eyes lined in dark colors, from marine blue to purple and black, and transparent or dark and sensual lips.

Suggestion: Choose the most flattering look that makes you feel the most secure, and follow the advice coming up.

Makeup Foundation

Give a pearly touch to your makeup foundation and get a flattering, modern look.

Suggestion: Apply your foundation on the whole face and once it’s blended with your skin (wait a few minutes), apply a small amount of powder illuminator in the T zone, forehead, cheeks, and chin. Blend well with a brush to give a pearly but natural effect. The result: lightly satiny skin.

Corrector

Lighten up your eyes! Use an illuminating corrector on top of the foundation, a tone one shade lighter than your skin.

Suggestion: Blend around the eye with your fingertips to remove excess product and there you have it: eyes without under-eye circles and full of life.

Eyes

For a natural look, use browns and neutral tones.

Suggestion: Apply a golden tone on the fixed eyelid to give a touch of light. If you want to give more strength to the eyes, make up the interior of the eye with a dark brown pencil.


For a sexy look, use dark tones – the ones you like best! From marine blue to bottle green, or if you prefer, line your eyes with black or grey.

Don’t forget to make up your lower eyelid with dark shadow, drawing a line just at the lashes and blend. Make up the interior eyelid with a black pencil. Give a touch of light on the fixed eyelid (just under the eyebrow) with a pearly white or shiny tone, and you’ll get a sexy and suggestive look.

Required

Mascara – it does make a difference! Curl the lashes before making up the eyes and apply two layers of mascara to give volume.

Cheeks

Give color to your cheeks with gentle and rosy tones to give that healthy and natural look to your face.

Suggestion: Blend blush well by using a clean loose powder brush and you will remove excess color.

Lips

If you want a natural look or if you have made up your eyes dramatically, apply a transparent gloss to the lips to get a shiny, natural look.

Suggestion: Choose a gloss that, in addition to giving shine, moisturizes and cares for your lips.


If on the other hand you prefer to make up the lips more but with a natural look, try a passion red or a shiny fuschia. The result: sexy and provocative, but elegant, lips.

Make up your lips first with a sharp lip liner, in a tone very similar to the lipstick you will use. Fill the lips with the lip liner before applying the lipstick, and the color will last longer and it will be easier to make up the lips in dark tones.

Final Touch

Give a shine bath to your hair with a dye similar to your own color, to give shine without changing the color.

Suggestion: Consult your hairdresser about transparent color baths that give shine and moisture in a natural way.

This season makeup will be a complement to your image, so we’re going to explain, step by step, the flattering and easy-to-use trends so that you are gorgeous and up-to-date on the latest!

Top Hair Care Tips and Hair Loss Remedies

by Franchis Adam

The number one problem affecting long hair is breakage, usually seen as shorter, fly-away strands, or split ends. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep and even as you sleep, there are many factors that can lead to hair breakage. An ideal woman is often pictured to be a person with a slender figure with long hair. Hair has always been important for every woman because it somehow reflects their personality. Having long shiny hair can seduce a man, it can land a woman in a shampoo commercial, or get compliments from others. It can reflect a woman's health and gives an impression that she is healthy, and that she is taking good care of herself. Of course, not all women would want long hair. It depends on their character, the weather, their lifestyle, and so on.

Hair has its own life cycle, usually from two to six years of hair growth. Each hair grows at least one centimeter per month. Ninety percent of the hair on the scalp is growing at any given time, while the remaining ten is at its resting phase. Specifically for women with long hair, it is considered normal for them to shed some hair as part of the cycle. Not to worry, since it is normally replaced as it grows back in the same follicle on one's head. Most people lose about fifty to a hundred of head hair strands a day. If one is losing more than those mentioned, a particular health condition can be seen, which would be hair loss.

Also called alopecia, it is basically the excessive hair loss of one person. This specific health condition may arise due to several causes. From three or four months after an illness or a major surgery, the patient may suffer from hair loss. This is usually temporary and is related to the stress of their particular illness. Another cause could arise from hormonal problems, primarily from imbalanced male and female hormones (androgens and estrogens). Pregnancy can also cause hair loss, usually three months after the woman conceived her baby. This is also related to the woman's hormones, because during pregnancy, high levels of female hormones cause the body to keep hair that normally falls out. When such hormones get back to pre-pregnancy stages, hair falls out and the hair cycle starts normally once again. Certain medications can also cause hair loss, including blood thinners, gout medications, chemotherapy medications, birth control pills, and anti-depressants.

Hair treatments, such as hair coloring, bleaching, straightening, perms, and certain hairstyles (braids and cornrows) can also contribute to a person's hair loss. A condition called traction alopecia is present if a person ties or pulls her/his hair tightly that causes tension on the scalp. This particular condition may be permanent if the hairstyle is worn for a long period of time, long enough to damage the person's hair follicles.

For Healthy and Shiny hair

* It is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair. * Wash hair with tea once in a week. * Apply besan in the hair and wash it with water drained from the cooked rice. * Soak a handful of gooseberry in a cup of milk for two hours. Make it as a paste and apply in the hair. * Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoon of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerin, in the scalp and hair. Wash it after some time.

For Graying
* Take a little Mehandi , an egg, juice of half a lemon, one table spoon of instant coffee powder. Mix it together and apply on the hair. Wash it after 45 minutes.

6 Tips for Protecting Your Home – and Yourself - During a Remodeling Project

By: Lani and Allen Voivod

Spring and summer in Northern New England means relief from the cold, the end of the school year, and a boom in home remodeling projects.

"This is the busiest time of year for us," said Ed Campbell, VP of Operations for Nashua, NH-based remodeling firm G.M. Roth. "With the warmer weather, people can finally open up their homes and start the big home improvement projects – ones that take more than a couple of days, and expose the home to the outside air with more than just an open window."

For anyone looking to tackle a large project – remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, or adding a porch or in-law suite, for example – here are six things for the top of your home improvement to-do list:

Check the weather. Rainy days are frequent in spring and summer months, and depending on the length of time your remodeling project will take, you might need to protect your home from the elements – and from contractors tracking the elements into your home. Make sure you account for this possibility before and during the remodeling process.

Don't forget about winter so soon. Sure, the weather is warming up right now. But if your remodeling project requires new doors, windows, or changes to exterior walls, be sure you discuss adequate insulation and energy efficiency options with your contractor. Come winter, you don't want to be left in the cold.

Get real about the project timeline. We all have the best intentions, and we all like to hear the best-case scenarios. But life isn't always that simple, and neither are remodeling projects. Ask every contractor from whom you get a quote to provide an honest estimate of how long the project will take – no sugarcoating, no rose-colored glasses.

Call your insurance agent. Since home remodeling often increases the value of your home, you'll want your insurance coverage to come up to speed with the improvements. Plus, your agent can tell you if you'll be covered in case of things like weather damage during the remodeling, injuries to workers, and other unexpected events.

Get it all in writing. The agreement you have with your contractor should specify who's responsible for cleanup during and after the remodeling project. Also, responsibility for protection of your property from construction damage should be spelled out, too.

Get out, if you can. There may be times where fumes or dust give you no choice but to stay with friends, family, or a local motel for short spells. But kitchen remodeling, for example, often denies homeowners the use of major appliances and drinking water. Rather than set up a temporary kitchen with paper goods in the spare bedroom, it might be easier to crash with the in-laws for a couple of weeks, and spring for their groceries as well as yours.

Planning ahead, the key to success in so many areas of life, is just as important for home remodeling projects. And with the industry about to go through the high-demand phase of its business cycle, taking time to plan before you start a major home improvement won't just increase in the value of your home. It'll pay off in peace of mind as well.

Vital Fitness Tips for Women

by Ernestine Clagge

Imagine what the world would be like if no one exercised. Never mind, you can already see it when you walk down nearly any city street. Our society is faced with an epidemic of obesity, and people need to become more in tune with their own health and fitness.

We all know that exercise is essential to living a healthy lifestyle. It’s the best way to lose body fat, because exercise boosts the metabolism and encourages the body to burn excess calories. Physical exercise revs up your heart and gets your lungs pumping at their maximum capacity. You’ll have healthier bones when you exercise, and you’ll look good and feel great about yourself. Exercise gives you increased stamina, making it easier for you to keep up with life’s busy pace.

The unfortunate reality is that, although nearly everyone is aware of the many benefits of fitness, many women ignore the facts and choose to do nothing. It’s too easy to press the snooze button, take the elevator or drive to work. In our society of convenience, people are suffering with a lack of health and fitness.

The following tips can be helpful in reaching and maintaining your ideal body weight. The specific issues that women face, like a higher susceptibility to osteoporosis, make health and fitness of particular interest to them. To maintain optimum health and keep your body strong, it is recommended that at least two of these tips be incorporated into all women’s health and fitness routines:

1. You don’t have to be Superwoman. Don’t fret if you feel as though you’re not doing enough. Women often have the innate feeling that they’re letting someone down. Don’t worry if you’re not able to spend ten hours a week at the gym or go for a run every morning. All that really matters is that you can commit to improving your health and fitness, and stick to a program. Professionals advise working out three to five times a week in 20-60 minute sessions, but our busy schedules don’t always allow this. You can easily become frustrated if you can’t meet someone else’s ideal. Working out twice a week at twenty minutes per session will put you on the right track.

2. Focus on your successes. Concentrate on how good you feel about your new health and fitness regime. If weight loss is part of your plan, and you’re struggling to meet your goal, don’t beat yourself up about it. Focus on what you’ve done to this point, and use today as a new starting point. You’ve made a commitment to yourself, and that is your biggest success.

3. Put weights before cardio. Many women begin their health and fitness routines with cardio exercises, and then follow it up with weight lifting. The disadvantage is that you may be missing out on a critical component of the routine, because you’re spending all of your time with cardio. If this is a regular occurrence, the outcome can be disappointing despite countless hours at the gym. Reverse the order and perform weight training first. You’ll likely see a more positive visible outcome.

4. Don’t overdo it. The average women’s health and fitness regime requires a workout of no more than an hour at a time. Spending too much time at the gym or doing the same exercises over extended periods can become tedious and boring. By focusing on the exercises and narrowing your time frame, your workout sessions will be more fun and more efficient.

5. Keep an eye on your heart rate. Women should work out at 75-85% of their maximum heart rate. When your heart rate is too low, it’s a sign that you’re not working to your full potential. Too high a rate, on the other hand, shows that you’re pushing yourself to a potentially dangerous level. Sticking with a happy medium of 50% or so will not help you to realize your fitness goals. Keep a heart rate monitor on hand or do a manual count incrementally during your workout to ensure that you’re reaching, but not exceeding, your ideal target heart rate.

6. Get support. It’s important to be involved in some sort of fitness social support web. If you are currently in a regime with no fitness community, you may find that your workouts are lacking or not that successful. A social support can bring a greater sense of camaraderie, kinship and even healthy competition. If you normally workout alone at home, try visiting a gym for a sample workout, or joining a yoga, Pilates or sailing class. Running clubs and golf courses are other ways to keep in shape and meet new people.

7. Be self-supportive. It’s tough to take on a new health and fitness routine. You need to have commitment and discipline, and you need to be prepared to work hard. Give yourself a pep talk. Don’t pressure yourself too much. You deserve a pat on the back, so go ahead and give yourself one. Others give you great feedback, so why not you?

Women’s health and fitness has become a bigger issue than ever before. Fast food and sedentary lifestyles are robbing women of their good health and stripping them of their self-esteem. It’s up to you to make the change to a healthier lifestyle. Go at your own pace, and you’ll be amazed at how far you can go.
