Stress Management

Worthwhile Points on Stress Management -- found it really nice and well put. Just want to share it to everyone...

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked. 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.' He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.' 'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.' 'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.' 'Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.' So my friend, put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while. Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life: * Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. * Remember to fill your senses with something uplifting: Music you love, a gorgeous sunset, a really great meal, passionate kisses, a heart to heart conversation with someone you care about. * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker. * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. * If you lend someone anything and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.  * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. * It's the second mouse that gets the cheese. * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. * We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty, and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.  *A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. May you all  have Love to Share, Health to Spare, and Friends that Care =)

DIY Split Ends Treatment

Hello girls! Let me share with you a tried and tested hair mender. It's a deep moisturizer for your tresses that you can concoct in the convenience of your own kitchen.

You will need:

1 teaspoon honey

2 tablespoon coconut oil

1 egg yolk

Beat all the ingredients together and apply to hair ends (you may also apply on the rest of your hair if there's something left of the mixture). Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo.

Why it works:

Coconut oil has traditionally been known to be very good for skin and hair. It provides a protective layer and locks in the hair's natural moisture. The honey will draw moisture to the hair and the egg yolks has many natural ingredients (vitamins, A, D, E, B12, folic acid and Lecithin) which makes the hair more healthy.

More natural DIY hair and body treatments to come!!

Hope this works for you!

Rose Flower Blush by: The Body Shop

The Body Shop's Rose Flower Blush comes in 2 shades, Fuschia, which is what I got and the pale pink shade (forgot what it's called).

The blush seems to have glitters, but as it's consumed the glitters gradually fade away leaving a solid pink blush--which is better actually. It gives a healthy, natural pink flush on your cheeks. So far I'm sooo loving this blush =) It also has a teeny weeny bit of rose scent which I can smell from the container but not from my face. I got this on sale,  (50% off) 599Php..yipeee!!

Note: I used the blush on my profile pic =). but now the glitter/shimmer is gone so it gives a satin/matte finish
