I just got some false eyelashes in Glasgow

They are a bit tricky to put on and get the ends to stick so I looked up a couple

Beehive Hairstyles

I was learning about polygons in Maths.  We looked at six sided polygons which are called hexagons and how these are the building unit on beehives.

This briefly side tracked us onto beehive hairstyles and how to create beehive hairstyles...

So we quickly looked into it:

Here are a couple of youtubes that show you various different ways to do a beehive type hairstyle:











This next style is not a beehive but it is a beautiful way to do long hair. They do this using an extention piece but I want to try this because my hair is naturally really long and I think this style looks awesome:

"90% of all foaming product's contain SLS, hence the rise in dry skin conditions like eczema / psoriasis / dandruff. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is an inexpensive foaming agent used in its raw form to clean oil from car engines!! We DO NOT put SLS into any of our product's. Look in your bathroom at the labels on bottles and let me know how many products you have with this chemical nasty in it!
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate - can cause contact allergies, skin irritation and potentially damage the cornea if it comes into contact with the eyes. It also dissolves the protective oily layer of the skin, which can cause skin dryness. SLS readily enters the heart, lungs, liver and brain via skin contact, where residual levels are stored. a penetration enhancer."

Yoga: Salute to the Sun or Surya Namaskara

This past week I have been doing a yoga ritual that my mom show me and it is called salute to the sun.

     




I think that it is a good exercise and helps to stretch your muscles very well.
I like it.

How to Stop Biting Your Nails...

Did you know:  There are approx. 600 million nail biters world wide!  Both adults and children bite their nails for various reasons.

Now I don't feel so bad.  Nail biting is a habit difficult to stop. 

Nail biting can be a result of bordom, feeling nervous or suffering from stress / anxiety. 

If you are sick of biting your nails, here are some tips:

- Use a bitter nail polish as discouragement

- Alternatively you can try and stop biting one nail at a time.  Tell yourself you are protecting ..... nail this week and refuse to bite it.  

- Eat foods that are rich in calcium and magnesium 

- Take a photo of your nails and stick it up in a prominent place to remind yourself.  Take a photo each week and add it.  Then you can be inspired by your progress or non-progress.  Make a poster of a whole lot of really terrible bitten finger nails and put it up next to your mirror or computer to remind you.  This will definately put you off.

- Don't start another bad habit to try and stop biting your nails.  Some people suggest chewing a toothpick or something else.  This is not a good idea.

- Try to find the real reason why you are biting your nails:  bored/nervous/hungry/thinking/fiddling and then find a way to treat the cause not only the symptom.  There is something you can use like a stress ball or worry beads to keep your hands occupied or drumming your fingers but dont let it become obsessive.

Make the best of something

"You're always on your way somewhere. 

The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly - but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something."

 --- Abraham Lincoln

The worst 10 foods to eat....

Read all about it here:  http://www.realbuzz.com/articles/top-10-worst-foods-eat/

Extract:

True, we are surrounded by junk foods, packed with sugar, fat and salt and generally processed to the extreme — but which ones are the real no nos, foods that you really should avoid?

We've selected 10 of the big hitters, 10 foods that are really bad for your body and your long-term wellbeing.

Now we are not saying that these types of foods should never pass your lips again, it's just a heads up on the fact that they shouldn't feature too heavily in your diet if you want to maintain healthy nutrition and maybe lose a few pounds.

Pork scratchings (pork rind or crackle)
Heavy and hard, we are talking fatty pig skin deep fried and then doused in salt. Also, if you are lucky you might even get one sporting a few hairs; pig hair is usually removed by quickly burning the skin before it is cut into pieces and cooked in the hot fat. Plus they are not great for your teeth either; we couldn't get the stats on how many dental injuries have been inflicted by eating these suckers but we are guessing it's pretty high.

Fried desserts
Fried desserts feature high up on the list of worst foods to eat as essentially you are dipping something in batter that is already high in sugar and fat, and then deep frying it. And don't be fooled by pineapple and banana fritters either, they are no better because they are fruit, the layer of batter and the fact they are swimming in sugary syrup make them no go dishes too.

Cheesy fries Fries feature as a bad food on their own, but, as you know we are all about moderation here at realbuzz.com and seriously cutting these from your life totally would be a hard move. But a plate fried potato layered in cheese =  bad food. Cheese contains +10 x as much saturated fat as fish and white meat and together with deep fried carbs, a serving of cheesy chips are a big bad no no.

Fizzy drinks Contain massive amounts of calories, even in small quantities.  You are adding to your daily calories not getting any nutrition in return. Studies have linked fizzy drinks to osteoporosis, tooth decay and heart disease. Diet drinks are not recommended either, even though they are lower in calories - they contribute to dental erosion (the bubbles in the drink are acidic) they are a no go.

Alcohol
Chose limited/small amounts of clear spirits with soda, tonic or fruit juice and steer away from coloured alcoholic drinks.

Now - some inspiration for healthy eating habits

*So dit the bluebulls eat the sharks or did the sharks eat the bluebulls
**If you dont understand this - don't worry.

Eat only foods that are found in nature

Natural fruit and veg are the best for you and if it can be eaten raw then don't cook it.

Its all the preservatives, additives, colourings and added salt/sugar thats bad for you.  Items that say no sugar are even worse as they contain artificial sweetners that are worse than sugar.  So all the diet stuff is NOT GOOD for you!  Be careful and dont fall for the diet marketing trick.  No sugar does not mean healty.

If you have not been eating enough fruits and vegetables, before you start this healthy way of eating,  a few people might get some natural detox symptoms (headache, dizzy,  tummy problems, trouble sleeping) This would be because your have been eating processed foods and lots of sugar and caffeine etc so your body is clearing itself out naturally.  Keep up your water intake and after a couple of days these should clear up.

 -Try eating from the rainbow.  1 fruit or veg from each colour of the rainbow each day.
-Water - our bodies are made up mainly of water so make sure you drink enough each day to keep your body healthy and able to naturally detox.
-Step up your daily excercise.  Go for walks, enjoy nature.  Force your self to get out there each day adn the fitter you get the better you will feel.  Being out doors in the sunshine is far better than being inside a gym for Vit D from the sun.  Its good for you.
-Remember to put on your sunscreen.
 
If you have any health problems check with your dr regarding changes to your diet /medication if necessary.

10 common but toxic foods

Read all about it here: 


http://www.realbuzz.com/articles/top-10-most-toxic-foods/

Extract:

While most people know that cakes and chocolate aren’t great for your health, there are other seemingly healthy foods whose dangerous properties slip under the radar. While it is unlikely moderate amounts of these foods will harm you, in large quantities – or in certain conditions – they may do more damage to your health than you think. Here are some of the most toxic common foods.

Mushrooms

While mushrooms available in most supermarkets should be pretty safe to eat, mushroom fans need to be careful about what species' they are consuming as many varieties can be highly dangerous and even fatal. Around 100 species of mushrooms are said to be dangerous to humans, with symptoms ranging from headaches to seizures or even death. In 2010 a small variety of mushroom called the Little White was blamed for an estimated 400 deaths in China.

Chillies

Chillies are renowned for their heat, which is what makes them so popular. However, it is actually the chemical that causes this spiciness (capsaicin) which can cause toxic effects such as stomach pain, itchy skin and, in extreme cases, death. For most people eating chillies will do little harm, however capsaicin is best eaten sparingly so make sure to take it easy and avoid any chilli eating challenges!

Rapeseed oil

There has been much controversy about this seemingly innocent natural oil, but the general consensus seems to be that it could have many negative implications on our health. Reports state that the rape plant - from which the oil is produced - is extremely toxic, and side effects of consuming its oil could include respiratory problems and blindness.

Rice

It is impossible to dispute that rice has many great health benefits. However, like with most things, it may be best eaten in moderation due to its reportedly unsafe levels of arsenic. One study has suggested that one in five packs of American long-grain rice contain potentially harmful levels of the toxic substance, while others have reported concern for the levels of arsenic in rice milk and baby rice. While there is relatively little risk of the odd bowl of rice causing any long lasting harm, the consumption of high levels of arsenic has been linked to cancer.

Nutmeg

Perhaps one of the most immediately dangerous foods on this list is also one of the most surprising, and that is the common store cupboard spice, nutmeg. Although, like many of the foods on the list, nutmeg does have reported health benefits, it can also be extremely dangerous when taken in large doses. Containing a toxic substance called myristicin, moderate proportions of nutmeg can cause hallucinations, while larger doses can cause convulsions, palpitations, nausea, dehydration and death.

Non-organic apples

Although it is advisable to buy as much organic fruit and veg as you can, in reality this is hard to do on most people's budgets. When making decisions over whether or not to go organic, it is important therefore to note that some foods have a higher concentration of pesticides than others, and apples are one of the fruits that top this list. Because apples are vulnerable to insect infestations and growths, growers are liable to coat the fruit in chemical pesticides and fungicides, some of which will absorb into its flesh. To minimise health risks, try to buy organic apples wherever possible, or at least remove the skin before eating.

Positive Change

Don't be scared to move and change to find new experiences and avoid boredom. 

It does not have to be constant change but even small things such as:

-what you eat for your meals and snacks,
-bringing flowering plants into your room,
-having a cool bath ritual and
-even taking different route to local shops /school / swimming pool/gym

- even try a different time and you might meet someone new or see something that has a good effect on your life :)

Changes can be good and circulate the energy around us.
