Social Skills and Natural Beauty

Once your natural beauty has been enhanced from the inside out, there’s the question of what to do with it. Most people wouldn’t think about it too much, but how you conduct yourself makes a huge difference in the perception others have of you.
Imagine you’re going out to dinner either on a date or just with some friends. There’s nothing worse than going on a dinner date with someone who’s absolutely gorgeous but has zero table manners! So, it’s worth spending some time with a book about table etiquette. For a basic review, here are some tips that will get you started. First, know ahead of time what sort of restaurant or dining facility you’re about to enter. Some places won’t admit you unless you’re dressed properly, so be ready. Secondly, it’s a good idea to know something about place settings across a variety of cultures. Not everyone does everything the same way, so make it a point to read up or ask someone before attending an ethnic restaurant or gathering. for the American/European dinner table, the setting is usually uniform: forks on the left of the plate, knives and spoons on the right of the plate, bread and dessert plates just ahead of the dinner plate, cups and glasses above the plate and to the right, and napkins either in a glass, folded on the plate, or to the side of forks.
Generally speaking, forks and spoons are laid out according to the course you’re to eat first. So, salad forks and soup spoons will be closer to the outside of the arrangement and dinner forks near the inside. Dessert forks are often served separately. You can also tell salad forks and soup spoons along with other specialized dinner wear because of the temperature. Keeping salad forks cold insures that salad doesn’t warm up before it enters the mouth. Speaking of mouths, always place the napkin on the lap. Only drape it across one knee, this will prevent the napkin from dropping to the floor. Pass items counterclockwise around the table and never reach to the opposite side for any reason. All of these manners will make a difference by making you appear the proper lady or gentleman.
Other social settings require different tactics. An overall rule is to remember to be polite as best as possible. If being blunt is in your nature, that’s fine so long as it’s not tactless. Don’t curse excessively. Be sure to shake hands with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to smile. Network, network, network! You never know who you’ll need to be in contact with, and someone you may have already met may be able to put you in contact with that person. If you’re not feeling well, there are plenty of ways to politely avoid embarrassment. Never be afraid to turn someone down for a gathering if need be. When it comes to cell phones, use them sparingly when in the company of others, particularly at the dinner table or in a class or meeting. Allow people room for self disclosure, but don’t press matters that may make them feel uncomfortable.
All of these are excellent social skills to keep in mind when interacting with others. There are more rules for etiquette, but these basics will certainly enhance your natural beauty.

 

The Best Fit for Natural Beauty

There are many types of builds out there and there is clothing to fit them. Besides the look of the clothing itself, a word about how the clothing should fit is always in order. The way a garment fits upon the build of an individual will either be quite distracting or enhancing to someone’s natural beauty.
Fortunately for people with slender and muscular builds, finding clothing isn’t a problem. Today’s fashions are meant to fit people of these categories because our society is so obsessed with “the perfect figure”. The only word of caution for these people is that while it may be appealing to flaunt your body, the people around you may not appreciate it. It’s not so much an issue of jealousy or envy as it is more an issue of distraction. In the case of women with fashionable physiques, clothing that reveals too much is an extreme distraction because it’s difficult to look away from such stimulating sights! Men may want to avoid tank tops that show just how cut they are for the same reason. There’s a time for everything. But for most settings, it’s a good idea to find clothing that flatters without too much flaunting.
Here’s a note for people with exceptionally skinny builds. The hype over anorexia and other eating disorders might put you at risk for staring even if you’re not a victim. Some people are extremely uncomfortable with bodies that show a lot of bone. So, similar rules of thumb should apply to extra skinny people that apply to those with slender and athletic builds.
The next build is a sensitive subject. Many overweight people have difficulty finding clothing that’s both fitting and attractive. Many stores selling plus sized clothing often sell things that look more like maternity wear, and it’s especially difficult to find moderately priced clothing to enhance sexiness. The most important thing to look at is whether or not the clothes fit and flatter in all the right ways. Larger people have curves, and those curves are beautiful. It’s more or less a matter of picking the right curves to share with others. Therefore, don’t be upset over the size of jeans or t-shirts. There are tailors and seamstresses available to help with the fitting of clothing, particularly if you’re in the process of losing weight. When weight is lost, bodies shrink. So, said tailors and seamstresses are handy for shaping clothing to your new figure. Otherwise, there are specialty stores for plus sizes that sell very attractive and fashionable designs that will flatter and boost confidence.
Finding clothing to enhance natural beauty isn’t difficult. The trick this to find clothing that fits your budget, style, figure, and the setting in which these clothes shall be worn.

Tanning Beds - Cancer Causing Machines?

Many people love the look of a good tan. However, with changing seasons, tanning under the sun is not always an option. That's why tanning beds have become a very popular way to keep a healthy tan year round. However, if they are not used properly, they can be very dangerous to consumers.
The fact is, tanning beds emit very high levels of ultraviolet radiation, which has proven to have a slew of health detrimental effects, such as skin cancer and premature aging. Misuse of tanning beds may also suppress immune systems, cause severe burns and blistering, and cause drug-induced photosensitivity.
However, the main component of tanning beds that remain a danger to our skin and bodies is the Ultraviolet Radiation. There are many ill inducing effects of UV energy, such as damage to the cornea, retina, and forming cataracts over long periods of time. Another dangerous yet common effect of UV radiation is skin cancer. People with light or fair skin are highly susceptible to skin cancer, according to skin specialists. These people need to take extra care in regulating their dosage of UV exposure.
There are three basic types of skin cancer caused by UV radiation: basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Be sure to check if you have a family history of skin cancer if you plan to use a tanning bed. People with a strong cancer history are at a far greater risk to skin cancer by using tanning beds.
Fortunately there are steps you can take to reduce the chances of over exposure to UV radiation. Most tanning salons have an ample supply of lotion products that are specifically designed to protect the skin when using a tanning bed. Although these lotions can get spendy, it is well worth it considering the potential damage of UV radiation.
Tanning beds, if used properly within their recommended usage limits and with the right protective treatments, can be a great way to have a year round tan.

 

Natural Essential Oils - Miracle Cures

Aromatherapy is a therapy which uses essential oils which are extracted from flowers, leaves, fruits and herbs for better health. Through the process of distillation and steaming, the essence of the flowers is locked inside the liquid. However, these liquids are known as Essential oils and are highly volatile. They are available is very small glass vials and are highly concentrated.
The tradition of aromatherapy can be traced back to 6000 years in Egypt, Greece and Italy. Essential oils have been known to have therapeutic properties. Each plant has its own characteristic aroma and healing properties. Human sense of smell is very powerful and you are able to smell about 10,000 different smells. When the aromas are inhaled, the olfactory nerves and brain are stimulated. The brain’s area of moods and memory are stimulated and release endorphins and neurotransmitters.
Essential oils when released in the air tend to create a fresh, relaxed atmosphere in your home. There are different ways of diffusing these healing oils - oil burners, vaporizers and diffusers are good ways of releasing these therapeutic oils. You can also add essential oils in your bath water and have a fresher, fragrant bath.
Essential oils are added to pure organic oils and used as massage oils. It is very good and helps keep your skin well moisturized and smooth. Dry patches, skin allergies are considerably reduced using essential oils like rose, chamomile, lavender, orange and jasmine. You can even add these plant oils to your face packs and see the difference in your facial skin.
Diluting essential oils are essential as they are highly concentrated and cause itching and burning sensations sometimes. There are many areas where essential oils have proved beneficial. They are being extensively used in areas of pain management, controlling blood pressure, insomnia, aches and injuries, used as massage oil both for therapies and stress release.
These organic essential oils have no chemicals or synthetic agents added and thus tend to be slightly more expensive. However, if you find a product claiming to have essential oils but is very low priced, beware as it may have synthetic fragrances added. These days there are many skin products both for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes that have natural oils added for better absorption. Check out for yourself and see the world of difference in your own skin.

 

Got Addicted To Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery.. I wonder how I got into it. When I was 19 and had all the money in the world, I noticed that my nose was a bit pointed. One of my friends suggested me to have a rhinoplasty (nose job) done from a local surgeon, so i thought "why not give it a go?" Then I had a nose job done from that doc. The thing that surprises me now is I didn't even bother knowing if he was a Board Certified Surgeon or not. Anyways it felt good to have a new nose, it looked good on me. As time moved on, I got attracted to other plastic surgery procedures too. I was growing my hips, tucking my tummy and everything that I wanted to do and now, sad to say, I've turned into a cosmetic surgery addict.
Well I'm not alone in this race. I studied about this addiction over the internet and found that there are millions of other women who are addicted to cosmetic/plastic surgery. Maybe it’s the shape of their nose, breasts, or even calf muscles (or lack thereof) that they’d like to change. Everybody wants to look beautiful, I don't blame myself but the thing I forgot was "We can't look perfect" because there's no such thing as perfect looking person. It's in the eyes of the viewer how you look like. But the stats they never lie. Research by Baaps released in May found there were 22,041 cosmetic operations excluding Botox injections in Britain last year, up 35% on 2004. These included 5,646 breast enlargements. Surgeons are getting richer and patients are getting addicted. The addiction is due to the pshycological impact that people (esp. women) have by looking at those celebrities (who themselves have surgery to look good). In the hunger of looking like a celebrity people dive into the pool of plastic surgery neglecting the issues related, surgery gone wrong cases and without proper study of the procedure.
The addiction is a chain process like in my case where it started from Rhinoplasty and ended up in a liposuction (which I had last week). One procedure which makes your certain body part beautiful leads to the decision of another surgery procedure. The procedures in demand are rhinoplasty, botox, tummy tuck, liposuction, face lift, breast implant/augmentation/reduction, labiaplasty and so on. Labiaplasty/Vaginoplasty is the recent name of the game. It's how women make their vagina look good by reducing the size of their labia and playing around with other sensitive skins around there.
Addiction is a consequence of dissatisfied surgery procedure also. Say a case where some girl wanted to have a nose of Nicole Kidman but she ended up having the nose of some ugly betty. An other reason is AGING. Now when will women realize that cosmetic surgery can't fight aging. YOU HAVE TO GROW OLD and those wrinkles are natural but they're addicted towards BOTOX and they never stop doing it over and over again.
Celebs need to find a place where they can throw money and this is the best place. Sharon Osbourne, the television presenter, openly said that she spent up to £300,000 on plastic surgery including having her breasts, legs and bottom altered. Now that's a huge amount. Cindy Jackson, 50, from London, has spent a reported £50,000 on nine operations involving 21 procedures since 1988, which she documents on her website. She has had cheek implants and reshaped her knees by using liposuction from her waist.
