Most Overrated Health Foods for her

we tend to believe whatever we are exposed to in the media and in advertisements. In nutrition this usually means that as a society we all follow the same diet fads, glorifying some foods over others in the quest for better health. (It’s okay, I love salmon and coconut water as much as you do).
Problem is though, more often than not the news or the health claims made by food manufacturers vastly overstate any potential health benefits, because it makes a more compelling story and sells more products. Our own confirmation biases tend to make us believe what we’re told, we confidently share our insight with our friends, and suddenly our grocery stores are filled with health foods that really aren’t all they are cracked up to be.
Here are my 10 picks for the most overrated health foods.

Top 10 Most Overrated Health Foods

1. Yogurt
There is nothing innately wrong with yogurt, the natural product. But the real stuff is not nearly as easy to find as the hyper-sweetened dessert versions filling supermarket shelves. Though yogurt can contain beneficial probiotics, friendly bacteria are also present in other fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and miso. And if you are worried about acne, dairy is probably not your best choice.
Oh, and the overratedness is doubly true of frozen yogurt.
If you’d rather keep yogurt as your breakfast staple (something I’m certainly not opposed to), go for plain yogurt that is either full or low-fat. Don’t fall for the vanilla trap, it is not plain and has even more sugar than most fruit versions. You need some fat in your yogurt so you can absorb the fat-soluble vitamin D added to most milk-based products.
2. Soy
Soy is another one of those foods that can be perfectly healthy, but can also be processed into oblivion until it’s an unhealthy product. Hydrogenated soy oil is among the most common sources of trans fat. Processed products are often touted as healthy just because they contain soy, but evidence suggests soy is not exactly the health panacea it is often made out to be. For a healthier version, stick to fermented soy products like miso, natto or tempeh.
3. Egg whites
It baffles me that Americans continue to vilify the most nutritious part of the egg while glorifying the less impressive half. Sure egg whites are a good source of protein on their own, but you’re probably not lacking protein and would likely benefit from the rich nutrients of the entire egg.
4. Margarine
Why we need a man-made source of processed oils when there are so many naturally healthy sources of fat is beyond me—that is assuming you can even find margarins that do not contain hydrogenated oils/trans fats. If you really want more stanols and sterols in your diet try eating more nuts, avocados and vegetables.
5. Bananas
Though I have a bit of a reputation for picking on bananas, I really don’t think they’re all bad and they definitely taste yummy. My biggest problem with them is that they are one of the most calorie dense fruits you can buy, and most of us don’t need all that extra sugar from a “health” food.
6. Fake meat
Next time you get a chance, check out the ingredients in your favorite meat substitute. It’s usually a lot of gluten, some processed soy, canola oil, corn starch, and a few bizarre ingredients like “natural vegetarian flavors” (mmm…. vegetarians). Call me crazy, but real meat sounds a lot more appealing.
7. Protein bars
Remember back in the day when PowerBars tasted like crap? Well they would all still taste that way if manufacturers didn’t fill them with sugar or fake sugar substitutes. Look at the ingredients, the vast majority of protein bars are the same processed junk that’s in everything else, just with a few more vitamins, some added soy protein and possibly some added fiber. Adding nutrients to junk food does not a health food make.
8. Whole grain flour
Ah, whole grains, how controversial be thy name. Though I’m not as anti-grain as some folks, I don’t pretend that highly processed “whole wheat flour” is actually good for me. Grains that don’t look like grains are not your friends.
9. Low-fat salad dressing
Fat is good for you.
Yes, fat contains more calories than protein or carbohydrates, but it also enables you to absorb more vitamins from the foods you eat and makes your meals more satisfying. Fat-free dressings do not make you healthier, they make your salad less nourishing.
10. Fruit juice
I’ve explained before how I’ve warmed up to vegetable/green juices (not daily, but on occasion), but I still have trouble condoning even fresh squeezed fruit juice as a health food.
Juicing fruit concentrates the sugar while stripping out the filling fiber. When you remember that one 450 ml bottle of orange juice is equivalent to six whole oranges, you can start to see where the problem is.

How to Select Shoes to Wear With Your Wedding Dress

Bridal shoes can make or break a wedding day for a bride. Not only does the right shoe have to match the bride, the day, and the dress, but it must be comfortable enough to wear throughout the ceremony, photo session, and reception formalities. However, learning how to select shoes to wear with your wedding dress is not difficult when you follow the right steps.

1. Decide on the fabric of your shoe. Raw silk, crepe, or satin shoes are common choices because these are often the fabrics of the dress. However, diverting from the norm and selecting a different fabric from the dress can add a unique touch to the overall ensemble.
2. Select a wedding shoe color to complement the gown. You can opt for the traditional and choose a color that matches your wedding dress. This may mean you having to bring a swatch along with you to ensure that your colors are identical. Oftentimes, brides have to dye their wedding shoes to make sure that colors are accurate. There is also the option of picking a shade that diverts from your dress but matches your accessories, such as silver or gold. Additionally, you may decide that a shoe adorned with embellishments, such as pearls, beads, sequins, and rhinestones, will complement your overall look.
3. Choose a comfortable bridal dress shoe. Weddings are all day events and you don't want to kick your shoes off, at least until you have finished the formal dancing. The reality is that comfort is a very significant factor to consider when choosing a shoe, more-so than looks, and you don't want to find this out while you are cringing during the photo session. Heels should only be an option if you are used to wearing them, and if you are not, but you really want to wear them, then buy them well in advance to break them in and get used to them.
4. Match the style of your shoe to your dress and the occasion. Take into account the formality of the wedding, the style of your dress, and the season when selecting a wedding shoe. For example, a satin, open-toe, off-white slipper would work well with an off the shoulder, open-back, satin gown during the summer. In contrast, a plain raw silk closed shoe would complement a traditional raw silk, full skirted gown during the fall and winter months. Informal weddings allow for casual looks, such as ballet slippers or embellished sandals.
5. Make sure that the wedding shoes you choose will be appropriate for your ceremony and reception venues. Heels don't work on beaches or stone walkways. Consider your whole wedding day journey before making a final decision on bridal shoes.
6. Opt for wedding gown shoes that make you and your groom look good. If you are taller than your groom, or much shorter, then this should determine whether you get heels or not. Also, heels can slenderize and tone your legs, as well as lengthen your overall physique. So if there are specific looks you are hoping to achieve, allow your shoes to help you accomplish them.

How to Be a Healthy Teen Girl

1. Start off right away with drinking more water. Keeping your body hydrated with several glasses of water a day will help regulate metabolism and purify your body. A good rule of thumb is to take your weight and divide in half to find out how much water you should be drinking daily. i.e. If you weigh 100 pounds, you need to drink half that weight in ounces (50 ounces) of water every day. This will also help you to urinate, which helps you lose weight and flush your digestive system of any foreign substances. Plus, it can improve your skin and boost your immune system.
2. Maintain a regular sleep pattern. With projects, extra-curricular, tests, and friends or IM, you might ninsomnia. The average teen needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night. Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep is a major factor contributing to how healthy you are. Getting enough sleep raises your alertness during the day, and minimizes anxiety.
3. Eat breakfast every day. Breakfast is the most important meal, because it provides your body with its first fuel of the day. Good breakfast foods include fruit, eggs, milk, cream of wheat, oatmeal, or toast. 
4. Starting with a good breakfast will also keep you concentrated during the day, and you will have fewer cravings.
5. Avoid junk food. This isn't limited to just the foods served at fast food restaurants, all foods with limited to no nutritional value qualifies as junk food. Think of it as littering your body; your body can't do anything productive with junk food. Stick to healthy foods that are high in protein, vitamins and minerals; your body will be able to use these things much better than junk food.
6. Replace unhealthy foods with healthy foods. You can replace white bread with wheat bread. You can even replace salt with kosher salt. Kosher salt is healthier, but it is bigger.
7. Eat meals slowly, and stop eating when you are full. This is the most basic principle of good eating habits, yet many people feel they must finish what is on their plate. Hunger is your body's way of letting you know that it needs fuel. Fullness, or satiety, is your body's way of letting you know it doesn't need any more food. If you stop eating when you are full, you will get hungry every couple of hours, which is a good thing, this means your body is using what you give it.
8. Snack healthfully. Eat a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, some celery, or a piece of cheese. Anything healthy as a snack will help maintain your energy level throughout the day. Choosing anything low-fat, low-sugar, or low-sodium is better than anything full-fat, full-sugar, or full-sodium.
9. Exercise at least three to five times per week. Each time you should be exercising enough to work up a sweat for at least twenty minutes (preferably more). But don't limit your physical activity to you work outs at the gym: by walking/biking more places you'll get more sunlight, which boosts your mood, and you'll also get some less strenuous physical activity. Go for a run, a bike ride, or a challenging hike. If you don't like to exercise on your own, join a fitness club, find a buddy to work out with,(dogs are great ones!) or join a sports team. Keeping active will make you stronger physically and mentally.
10. Stick to a hygiene regimen. Wash your face in the morning and at night before you go to bed to keep your skin healthy and clean. Brush your teeth two to three times a day for a clean and fresh mouth. Taking care of your appearance will also make you feel better about yourself, which really is the most important thing.
11. Keep good posture. Don't slump during class! Hold yourself straight. There are many exercises that can help. If you have a laptop, work at a desk or with your back propped up.
12. Make sure that you believe in yourself. This will help self esteem and stick with whatever you put your mind to.

Tips

• Another way to keep fit is to not sit around all day watching television.
• If you have a Wii and a Wii Fit, then you may discover there is a version of running called Free Run, where you jog and you can switch to another TV channel. The Wii remote tells you if you are jogging too fast or too slow.
• Go out with friends and go outdoors. Fun activities for a rainy or snowy day are ice skating, roller skating, indoor pools, laser tag and shopping! This is not only healthy, but fun too!
• See a doctor before dieting or it could get nasty!
• If you have a dog, start running with him/her. It will keep not only you healthy but also your dog and dogs need exercise.
• Smile and be happy! It shines and puts you on top of the crowd. 

  Warnings

• It is important to live a healthy life, but obsession and fixation on healthy habits can lead to unhealthy habits or even eating disorders. Be sure you are healthy about being healthy!
• Doing too much exercise can be bad for you. Try to keep to no more than 2 hours a day max.

• Don't worry about having relatively small amounts of fat on your body. Having good muscle tone, good circulation and respiration, and a healthy heart is very important. However, being significantly unfit is a problem.
• Don't get down on yourself! Even if you're naturally larger built than other girls, that doesn't mean you have to be unfit. Work out, eat well, and take good care of yourself. Health is most important. It is important to note that ALL body types are beautiful. If you have serious concerns about your weight or body fat, then see your local doctor. Don't EVER listen to what the advertising industry tells you always check with your doctor before starting any new diets.
• Avoid fad and crash diets. These are temporary and any weight you lose will be easily regained once you fail to maintain the diet (which you will). These are not good for your body, and can end up giving you a lot more problems than just regained weight.
• Most importantly if you are trying to lost weight, never rely on pills, meds, starvation, skipping meals, or binging. These things aren't healthy, often times make your body go into survival-mode and storing fat, and are really not fun to go through, dangerous, unhealthy, and emotionally depleting. It's much easier to just go through it the healthy way. Not to mention it looks better, feels better, and has no side effects. Anorexic and bulimic girls may be skinny, but they are often sickly looking, low-energetic, emotionally dead and depressed, which is definitely not beautiful. okay ")

How to Choose Jewelry for Your Wedding Day

Most people build up a “look” or theme around one particular piece of their wedding day outfit. Whatever your inspiration, it’s a good idea to try and get each piece of the outfit to accessorize beautifully with everything else. Don’t feel that you have to match everything perfectly, but don’t buy things in isolation.

Gown Style
The most important thing is to make sure your bridal jewelry does not overpower the wedding dress and that the color works with your wedding gown.
For example, a white gown looks best with white pearls and silver. An ivory gown looks better with ivory pearls and gold or silver both work. A champagne gown looks best with dark ivory/champagne and gold accents. Rhinestones, crystals, diamonds, or faux diamonds (CZs) can work with all gown colors.
Helpful Tips:
• For a simple dress with a deep neckline, like a halter dress, you should be looking at a chunkier more substantial jewelry set—especially the necklace.
• Pearls always seem to work, but try on different lengths to make sure that they compliment the entire look.
• Gowns with high necklines may be better off to forgo the necklace and concentrate on the perfect earrings.
• Examine the detailing of your dress and match your jewelry accordingly
Ceremony Style
The bride’s jewelry should reflect the formality of the wedding. A small, informal wedding calls for simple jewelry, while a large, formal wedding calls for more elaborate jewelry.
Hairstyle
If you have a shorter style or you have selected and up-do for the wedding day, longer or drop earrings that extend toward your neck would be a lovely choice. If your hair is down, try and choose and earring that is not too long, as they may get tangled in your locks. Short drop earring and studs/simple pearls would be the best choice.
Helpful Tips:
• A button earring accentuates a round face.
• A dangle earring widens a narrow face.
• A squared earring adds interest to a long face.
• If you are not wearing a necklace you may want your earrings to be larger. It is all a matter of balance

The Secret To Youthful Skin At Any Age

The secret to youthful skin and natural anti aging is in your colon. Have you even wondered why so many celebrities go to expensive cleansing spas? Is it because they are particularly health conscious? No, it's because they are obsessed with looking young and beautiful. Luckily you don't have to be a celebrity to have youthful skin and youthful vitality. All it takes is a good colon cleansing and lots of fresh, clean, filtered drinking water.

It's not what you put on your skin that makes it youthful

Each year there are billions of dollars spent of beautifying and anti aging products. The ironic part is that the health of your skin is largely governed by the amount of water you drink, the type of food you eat and how well you body eliminates waste. If these three things are working well chances are you will have youthful skin. Anti aging begins with what you eat. When any of these areas become unbalanced then your skin will be one of the first places to show it.

Anti aging creams attack the surface but not the cause

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It has many functions but one is the elimination of toxins. Think about it - you sweat when you have a fever or when you are hot. There are literally millions of pores all over your body with the specific ability to move toxins out of you. As you get older more and more toxins are building up inside your body. Toxins from the air we breathe, the food and water we consume and environmental exposure to a host of deadly chemicals. Youthful skin comes from healthy toxic elimination. A regular colon cleansing can help you have youthful skin and more energy.

Even food can be anti aging

Our diets are often lacking in whole grain fiber and the volumes of fresh and uncooked vegetables that it takes to clean out the gunk. Highly processed foods like white flour and sugar turn into a sticky goo once inside your belly. Most of this foodstuff is only waste since there is little nutrition to digest. Literally, every time your colon gets overloaded trying to process too much waste it has no other choice but to reabsorb the toxins into your fatty cells or try to eliminate them through your skin.

The skin is an interesting organ. It is the backup if the colon is not working. Another thing is; when we have undigested food material, if it is not liquefied enough, it sticks to the sides of the intestine. Eventually it will harden and when it hardens it also prevents the muscles around it from contracting. This dehydration coupled with the slow clogging and hardening means that less and less of the waste is eliminated. It also means that it takes more effort for your body to eliminate anything effectively. Now you can see how youthful skin and anti aging starts in the colon.

Youthful skin is a result of a healthy digestive system. Gentle colon cleansing will break down this hardened matter and remove it safely. Dehydration makes you look older than you are and makes it very hard for your skin to stay elastic and subtle.

Anti aging starts in the colon

A lot of people think that poor skin simply comes with age. Not true. We all know at least one person who looks great for their age - without plastic surgery, botox or drugs. Chances are it is because of what's going on with their colon. When your colon works efficiently - your skin will glow naturally. A good colon cleansing on a regular basis will help draw out toxins and undigested waste.

Drink plenty of fresh, filtered, clean water every day - this is the first step. Next you may want to eat a good wholesome diet -filled with fresh vegetables and lots of whole grain fibers. Then add a super green, whole food supplement that will boost your vitamin B and give you the added nutrition your body craves. Colon cleansing is one of the simplest ways of getting a healthier more youthful skin.

A lot of things go into making sure that the colon cleansing work and I would say that the number one thing is sufficient water intake. Clean, filtered water is the elixir of life - so drink your fill and enjoy natural youthful skin.

Handbags are an important part of fashion

Ladies Handbags are an important part of an outfit. The handbag must be able to compliment the look she is going for, as well as to present its own style. It should not outshine the outfit itself, and the outfit should not outshine the bag. This concept seems complicated or strange at first, but it is easy to do.
The sheer amount of Ladies  Handbags that are available these days is huge. There are whole Brands dedicated to them, and even those brands that are not dedicated to handbags still have a Large Selection to choose from. This alone should be an indication of how important they are to an outfit.
How To Choose Ladies Handbags: Choosing Ladies Handbags can be a lot of fun. One of the first decisions you have to make is what is the occasion for which you want the handbag to be used? Are you going to a Party, or Selecting for Gift? Or maybe you would want a bag for work or even a dinner date. Each of these scenarios would call for a different type purse.
Handbags also called purses, come in a variety of types. There is the clutch that has no handles and is great for formal affairs such as the Opera, a Wedding or any Official Type Gathering. Of course you would want to find the one that will match the outfit you are wearing for the event.

The Everyday Ladies Handbags would be slightly larger than a clutch. It could have short handles on it or it could be a shoulder bag. This bag could be used for work, going to lunch, even dinner if the restaurant was not too upscale. Typically this accessory is a generic color like black, brown or white (in the summer), which will match just about anything that you wear. Another everyday purse is the tote, which is different from a regular purse in that it does not have sections inside to separate your personal items. It has one deep pocket that can hold books or even notebooks.
Ladies Handbags come in a lot of Colors and Fabrics as well as Shapes. The clutch is small to be held in your hand, and can be made of soft fabrics, beads, or hard plastic. The rest of the line of bags can run from small to quite large. Some purses that can be used for everyday have shown up on the shelves as large as totes, yet are much more stylish. They also offer sections to divide the inside so you can locate things easier.

You must decide on what color bag you want to get. Matching a fabric outfit to a handbag is not the easiest thing to do. Sometimes you just are not able to locate the perfect color to match your clothing. When that happens you must decide to either look for a shade that is lighter or darker than your clothes, or a color that will contrast it. That is a judgment call, so follow your instinct on that decision.

1. Protect yourself from the sun

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
For the most complete sun protection:

• Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When you're outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
• Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

2. Don't smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking. 

How to Choose a Shampoo, How to Shampoo, and What are the Best Organic Shampoos?

A shampoo should satisfy all these requirements: highest quality natural ingredients, totally organic, non-detergent and containing no artificial colors or scents. Many commercial shampoos on the market—even those claiming to be “natural”— contain artificial colors, perfumes and detergents that dry and damage hair, clogging follicle openings rather than cleansing your scalp.
Detergents and color additives leave harmful coatings on the hair. Synthetic scents dry out hair, damaging the shafts by making them overly brittle. The scalp becomes plugged up, disturbing its natural pH balance. Dandruff, itchiness, premature thinning and significant, eventual hair loss are the undesirable results.
In addition to harsh chemicals, shampoos containing such ingredients as berries, tomatoes, guava, etc. are wisely avoided. You need an effective natural shampoo for your hair, not a fruit salad! However enticingly “organic” they may sound, these not-so-naturally derived fruit and vegetable ingredients tend to plug up pores, dry out hair and disturb pH balance, which damages the natural texture of your hair.
Contrary to ‘conventional wisdom,’ it is not necessary to purchase special formulas for dry, normal or oily hair; or short or long hairstyles. In fact, these supposedly special-purpose shampoos contain even more harmful, toxic ingredients.
When selecting a shampoo, trust your nose! If the shampoo has no synthetic scent and smells wholesome and appealing instead, it is very likely a good, healthy shampoo for you. The ‘smell test’ is highly reliable and individualized. Each of us has a different chemical balance that changes with circumstance and age. There is no single shampoo that can be recommended indefinitely for everyone.
When to Shampoo

Numerous conflicting views on the subject of shampooing have many people thoroughly confused. While some theories advise shampooing every day, others insist that cleansing daily dries and damages the hair. Fortunately it is not as complicated as it may seem. A simple, common sense rule to follow is: Observe your hair and decide for yourself how often you need to shampoo. For many people, shampooing every other day maintains a healthy balance of scalp and hair.
On the other hand, people whose brushing ritual is correct and consistent have often found they can easily extend shampooing to every three or four days. Any of these regimens can be effective for you. As long as your new growth of hair is maintaining its luster, health and vitality, the cleansing schedule you are following is right for you.
How to Shampoo
At first glance, recommendations that we always lather up twice sound like a gimmick to sell more shampoo. But there is actual value in this advice. Healthy shampooing has two parts: The first is loosening up debris to free the hair and scalp of dirt and dead cells. Since you might massage these unwanted microbes back into follicle openings if you shampooed only once, you are well advised to do a second shampoo. This ensures that no contaminants will retard new hair growth, damage oil glands or upset the natural fall-out and reproductive cycles of your hair. Instead, the bad stuff all goes down the drain!
The second shampooing (with massage of your clean head) also stimulates blood flow to the scalp and opens follicles, allowing nourishment for each root, bulb and hair shaft. When every follicle is adequately nourished and each sebaceous oil gland is properly activated, your own natural oils are distributed to lubricate the entire scalp and all hair shafts. A natural coating of oil is vital to the healthy maintenance of scalp and hair. It keeps the outer layer of hair moisturized and prevents drying.
Step One: Wet your hair and apply shampoo to your scalp. Massage lightly into hair and scalp, and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Step Two: After rinsing, take a bit more shampoo and massage it gently into clean hair and scalp. Rinse out carefully until no shampoo remains and finish with cool water. Towel dry. Now you are ready to brush and style.
Your shampooing regimen should ideally contain three or more organic shampoos that are rotated regularly. Over a period of time, scalp and hair can become resistant/ immune to a single shampoo, upsetting alkaline pH balance. Regularly alternating shampoos helps your hair and scalp stay properly receptive to thorough cleansing and nourishing every time.

How to Choose a Bridal Gown for a Destination Wedding

 You've decided to grab your betrothed and get hitched in some exotic, faraway land -- how exciting! Destination weddings are adventurous, once-in-a-lifetime events, but don't start packing your bags just yet; you've still got to find the right dress. Choosing a gown for a destination wedding is a bit more complicated than finding something to wear for a stateside ceremony, but we'll tell you everything you need to know to make sure both you and your dress are every bit as stunning and glamorous as your locale.

Know Your Setting

The style of your gown depends on where and when you're going to say "I do." If you're getting married during the day, focus on styles with beautiful embroidery, pleats, ruffles and lace. All of these details will be noticeable in the sunlight but might be missed after nightfall. Conversely, choosing a simple gown that subtlety sparkles with crystal embellishments or metallic threads will enhance your shimmering beauty under the light of the moon.
Destination weddings often take place outside, so you need to know what kind of terrain you'll be grappling with. Will your aisle be made from finished garden stone, a manicured lawn or a sandy dune? Your dress not only needs to look good, it also needs to be functional. Wear a long, billowy gown while walking down an uneven aisle, and you'll probably end up kissing the ground before your new husband!

Size Matters

That long-trained gown you've always dreamed of is great -- as long as you're getting married in a spacious cathedral. Unlike your indispensable diamond stud earrings or your trusty camel slingbacks that seem to go with everything, wedding gowns aren't interchangeable. Just as you wouldn't wear a knee-grazing, flirty dress to a winter wedding in New York, you'll want to avoid a gala-sized gown for beachfront nuptials. Besides looking completely out of place, wearing the wrong kind of gown to a destination wedding can be cosmetically problematic. Unless you want sweat spots on your bodice and hermit crabs crawling up your train, you may want to go with a short dress.

Living in a Material World

There's no shame in being a material girl when it comes to choosing the perfect fabric for your destination wedding gown. If you're heading to the tropics, you'll need a dress made from all-natural fabrics that rest easy on your skin and breathe, but beware of fabrics that wrinkle easily, such as silk. Synthetic fabrics will repel wrinkles and typically cost less, but they can also make you sweaty and itchy and may even give you a rash, which is definitely not something you want on your wedding day (or night).

Gowns to Go                                      

 If you live in Chicago but are tying the knot in Cancun, you'll have to travel with your gown. Unless your bridal salon can ship it to your destination after your final round of alterations, it'll probably end up stashed in an overhead compartment on your flight. Sure, it'll be protected by a garment bag, but wedding dresses aren't exactly designed to share storage space with random luggage. Sometimes, there's a closet available to first-class passengers, but you may be better off just buying your dress its own seat. It'll be expensive, but at least that way you're pretty much guaranteed a spot next to the window!

How to Apply Eye Makeup to Make Eyes Look Bigger?

First it is important to know that your eyes are a great place to begin to express yourself. Adding color to the eyes will automatically draw attention to them. So every women needs to know the secrets To Applying Eye Make Up To Make Their Eyes Look Bigger. If you apply your best eye make up, your eyes can make you look & feel spectacular. In this article, countless eye make up tips are given in Urdu To Make your eyes look Bigger.
 If you open your eyes to a whole new world of possible colors, your peepers may start attracting more attention. For those who aren't born with naturally large eyes, including many celebrities, there are several ways to make them appear larger. The following will lead you through the basics

Instructions

1. • 1
     Starting with a clean face, use your eye lash curler to gently curl lashes. Be sure to use a clean eye lash curler that is solely your own, as sharing items can spread bacteria and cause illness. Keep in mind that curling your lashes plays a major part in making your eyes appear bigger because it draws out the full area of your eye. Wait until later to apply mascara.
   • 2
     Next use your eye pencil to outline the shape of your eye. This makes your eyes pop even more. Starting at the outer corner of your eye, line the color along your bottom lash line first and fade it out when you get to the center of your lid. You don't want eyeliner at the inner corner of your eyes. Starting at the outer part of your eye, next line the top of your lid along the lash line. Similarly fade the line when you reach the center of your eyelid. Black eyeliner appears bolder than others and can work to create a smoky look. Don't hesitate to experiment with colored eyeliner. Using eyeliner in a similar shade to that of your eye can draw added attention. Cerulean blue eyeliner for someone with light blue eyes for example has a powerful effect.
   • 3
     Understand that there must be more than a thousand shades of eye shadow. It helps to have a variety of colors on hand. Start with a dark or medium shade and use at the corner of your eye. Use a lighter color and blend over the rest of your lid. An even lighter shimmer used just below your brow bone is an excellent way to make your eyes look bigger and to create extra space between the lids and eyebrows.
   • 4
     Know that the next application is mascara, preferably black though dark brown can look good on people with red hair. Start from the base of your lashes and comb through with the mascara brush until each top lash is coated. Then lightly coat the bottom lashes. Use the fine-toothed brow brush to comb through any clumps the mascara brush may have left, and to separate any lashes that may be stuck together. This dramatically increases the volume of your eyes.
   • 5
     Use your tweezers to pluck any stray hairs from your brows. Brows should be slightly arched but not overly and should hold a natural density. An over-plucked brow looks too sparse and draws attention away from your eyes and too-thick brows can make the eyes and face appear too heavy.

Trade Fat for Muscle

Premiere strength-training researcher Wayne Westcott, PhD, CSCS, instructor in the exercise science department at Quincy College in Massachusetts, confirms that when you choose your exercises wisely, a handful of moves—just four in some cases—is all you need to change your body composition. "Navy research shows you can get tremendous overall improvement—losing 4 pounds of fat and adding 2 pounds of muscle in 8 weeks—by doing just four exercises that work every major muscle," he says.

Burn More Calories

The calorie-burning benefits of even the shortest strength-training bout keep coming long after you've left the gym. In a study from Southern Illinois University, researchers found that when volunteers did just one set of nine exercises, or about 11 minutes of strength training, 3 days a week, they increased their resting metabolic rate (the calories burned when just hanging out) and fat burning enough to keep unwanted weight at bay.

Stay Young

Unless you do something to stop it, your body loses about half a pound of muscle a year after age 20, says Tina Schmidt-McNulty, exercise specialist at Purdue University Calumet. That may sound nearly insignificant, but when you consider that muscle is your body's biggest calorie burner—burning five times as many calories per pound as fat—it's like "taking your foot off the gas pedal of your metabolism right as you enter adulthood," explains McNulty.
