MEDITATION

relaxBesides helping to clear your mind and relax your body, meditation has also been associated with relieving mild depression, insomnia, tension headache, irritable bowel syndrome as well as helping to control substance abuse.

 Meditating is actually easier than you might imagine. Most of us have dabbled in meditation by participating in conscious relaxation. Maybe during an exercise class or to manage pain at the dentist or anxiety before a test. We start by paying attention to our breathing. The practical effort to focus completely on our breathing takes our minds away from the “mind clutter” that constantly tries to invade our mind and eliminate feelings that will lead to a time of calm. With repeated effort the goal of clearing your mind – to think of nothing, does occur and the process of meditation takes on its own energy.

MAKE UP TIPS

For Bright Eyes
eyes makeupLine the eyes as close as possible to the lash line, with a dark Brown or black liner, and end with a slight upward flick when you reach the outer corners. Add shadow above the line in a gradation effect so eyes appear brighter and bigger. A dark Brown shade at the base lilac in the middle and a wash of pink on the brow bone work best. Curl the lashes to open the eyes and use volumising and lenghtening mascaras for lush lashes. Coat lashes from root to tip with the volumising and lengthening version from mid-length to the tips to complete the doll-like effect.

For a full, sexy pout
sexy lookWith a lip pencil, draw about one to one and a half milimetres outside your natural lip line. Then, fill in with colour, using the lip pencil first to avoid having that unsightly ring around the mouth that remains after a meal. Apply your chosen lip colour with a lip brush and finish off with a dab of gloss on the centre of the lips. Remember to exfoliate your lips to get rid of dry flaky skin as smooth lips always look sexier and fuller than dry ones.

Lose weight for a healthier life

Slim GirlProper diet and exercise can aid in weight loss, as well as keep you healthy. The first step to weight loss is setting a realistic goal. By using a BMI chart and consulting with your health-care provider, you can determine what is a healthy weight for you. Studies show that you can improve your health with just a small amount of weight loss.

To reach your goal safely, plan to lose weight gradually. A weight loss of one-half to 2 pounds a week is usually safe. This can be achieved by decreasing the calories eaten or increasing the calories used by 250 to 1,000 calories per day, depending on current calorie intake. (Some people with serious health problems due to obesity may lose weight more rapidly under a doctor’s supervision.) If you plan to lose more than 15 to 20 pounds, have any health problems, or take medication on a regular basis, a doctor should evaluate you before you begin a weight-loss program.

What is LASIK?

LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced. There are other techniques and many new terms related to LASIK that you may hear about such as Custom LASIK (Wavefront) or bladeless LASIK


After applying anesthetizing drops, the surgeon marks the eye to indicate where the flap will be cut and then replaced.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the fastest method of getting rid of body hair. The laser emits an invisible light which penetrates the skin without damaging it; it is then absorbed by the pigments of the pilous follicle. The laser light selectively absorbed by the follicle damages its functions and impairs its ability to fabricate hair. At the level of the pilous follicle, the laser light absorbed by the pigments is then transformed into heat which damages the hair but not the surrounding skin.

Depending upon the extent of the treatment, time in treatment ranges from one hour to several hours. A numbing lotion will first be applied to the targeted area. During the procedure, a laser is used to dispense a fine intense beam of heated light that removes the hair follicles, but preserves the skin in the surrounding area. Unlike electrolysis, which requires the removal of each hair follicle, the laser scans a wide area of the body in the removal process.

Did you know that an estimated 180 million people are visually disabled, while close to 50 million of them are blind? According to the World health Organisation, about 80 percent of the world’s blindness is avoidable, preventable or treatable. One of Singapore’s biggest problems is myopia, which in some cases can lead to potentially blinding conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataract. The easiest way to prevent this short-sightedness is to take good care of your eyes by limiting the duration of continuous near work, like using the computer, reading and writing, and take regular vision breaks. After every 30 minutes, relax your eyes by looking at distant object or out of a window for three to five minutes. And don’t forget to blink. Blinking keeps the surface of our eyes moist, dust-free and clean.

A Good Bath is a Private Luxury

bathingWho says a bath is just a tub full of water? Caesar’s wife Calpurnia bathed in strawberries and raspberries. To bath is to soak, to be immersed in a world all one’s own, a small sea; a good bath is a vital luxury. The bath frees the mind. Whether spartan or prodigious with bubbles, the bath is a private event.

Bathing is synonyms with purity, cleanliness. Ancient Egyptian priests bathed three times daily in water from the Nile; Hindus in India still flock by the thousands to bathe in the sacred water of the Ganges at Benares. Soak and you shall be saved. For all of their decadence, the murals and marble and extended hours in the baths, the Romans were the first to develop a full bathing regimen. To vitalise and improve circulation, exercise and exposure to heat and steam were followed by plunging into cold pools; the libraries, gardens and public socialising that were often part of the more than 900 baths in ancient Rome were supplementary to bathing for health. The northern variation on this theme of extremes is the sauna followed by a bracing tumble in the snow, which dates back to the time of the Vikings.
