I’ve been lucky enough to have some amazing friends over the past ten years. Some from school, some from college and others from travelling. But I think we can all agree it takes a lot of time and effort to make it last. It needs coffee dates, phone calls, nights out, sleepovers and long talks to make it special. Over the years I have tried to make an effort with my friendships because they are very important to me. But sometimes, it just doesn’t work out with a friend anymore.
I have always had combination skin, sometimes it is oily and sometimes it is dry. When it is dry it becomes itchy and red. Sometimes I break out in random rashes. When it is oily, it drives me crazy, because it feels gross. I have been in the market for years for something to soothe my skin when dry and even-out my tone when oily.
Today exercise is a huge part of my life, but looking back to just a few years ago I never thought about my health. I was just a kid that was heavy and just liked to sit around and watch TV. I mean I played sports when I was growing up, but I never really cared about my health.
By James Uhl The ego is the piece of us that allows for distinction from those around us, it can be a useful tool in understanding self-worth and confidence in one’s abilities. So why would it be such a bad thing to value our ego, to use it as a means to grow strong and be satisfied with one’s own self? Because in choosing the ego for purpose and growth you forfeit your connection to the universe. In looking only
Your anti-aging routine should involve more than just wearing sunscreen! What if you could rescue your skin with the food you eat? No plastic surgery needed. There may not be a fountain of youth, but the food we eat can prevent or even reverse aging. You body needs the right nutrients to fight off damage and aging. Your skin is no different. Processed foods, stress, toxins and low-nutrient diets will accelerate aging.
Someone once told me our bodies go through a major change every seven years. Apparently, around this time we start to crave and desire different foods due to a major renewal in our cellular structure…or something like that. At the ripe old age of 24, I believe my body is in the midst of this change.
What does living a zen life mean? I associate it with terms such as peace and harmony—a harmony between the body and mind. The Japanese practice of zen involves meditation (though I personally turn to reflection and prayer). One who intends to achieve a zen state is striving to become fully present—not dwelling on the past or growing anxious about the future—but being aware of the time and state at hand. It brings about a sense of clarity.
Let’s face it, relationships are complicated. Everyone wants to meet the “right” person, but it’s not as easy as movies make it out to be. Many couples rush into marriage, not thinking about the things that could come up later in a relationship. And many others keep postponing it for the fear of marrying the “wrong person” and ending what could have been a great, loving and happy relationship.
Its usually around this time of year that the cold and flu symptoms begin to kick in and you are surrounded by people in the shopping queue blowing their nose or sneezing down your neck. If you have been to your doctor’s surgery lately, you may have been offered the flu jab. And before you decide on whether to have it, you may want to find out exactly what is in it before you say yes.
If you were to ask the question, "how can I be happy?" My question for you would be, "who's asking?" We all have different roles that make up our ego identity. We might be a daughter, mother, father
My name is Emily Marchak, a college student in Michigan, and I wanted to share a recipe. Since I am currently attending university, I have a limited budget, but have always been very conscious of what I put into my body.
