HOW TO BE A SEXY MAMA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 Wear a Sexy Bra And A  Matching Panties

Sexy bras are not nude.  Sexy bras do not have insanely thick straps.  Sexy bras are never called “t-shirt bras”.  Sexy bras do not cover so much of the bust region that you can touch your chin to the cup.  Sexy bras come in beautiful colors, have a bit of lace or ribbon  and are available in all sizes, for all moms.

2. Boobs, Boobs, Boobs

You got ‘em.  Flaunt ‘em….subtly.  My favorite trick is to wear a low v-neck shirt with a delicate necklace that hangs just at the top of my cleavage.  It’s the “You look different, better somehow, but I can’t put my finger on it” vibe.  The proper length for this necklace will vary from person-to-person, but it’s generally around 21 inches, much longer than most necklaces

3. Wear a sexy nighty

A sexy nighty does it. Flaunt that body no matter what.......you've got lovely kids to show for it *wink*

 

 4. Take a class; Reclaim your body back enroll for a gym class.

Natural Methods Of Getting Rid Of Dandruff

Steps And Methods

STEPS


* Wash your hair regularly but not obsessively. Dandruff is caused when your scalp sheds dead skin cells. It is not caused by hair itself. Excessive shampooing, especially with harsher chemicals, such as lauryl sulfate, can irritate the scalp and dry it out, causing more dandruff.

* Give your dandruff shampoo time to work. If you choose to wash your hair with dandruff shampoo, leave the shampoo in for at least 5 minutes before you wash it off.  This will give the shampoo time to work.

* Avoid stress and stressful situations. Stress can cause dandruff^], so try to exercise your stress away or deal with your stress in other healthy, effective ways.
Eat healthily. What you put into your body has an impact on what your body responds with. An excess of unhealthy foods (fast food, sugary foods, etc.) will often result in skin, scalp and hair problems.

METHODS

1. Yogurt;


Use yogurt to get rid of that dandruff. Just wash and rinse your hair, then rub plain yogurt into the scalp, and leave for 10-15 minutes.

Rinse, then wash again, using as little shampoo as necessary. An infusion of thyme, nettle or sage with 2 tablespoons of vinegar can be used as a final rinse. To make an infusion, fresh or dried herbs can be used in loose or tea-bag form.

Warm a teapot and put in 1 dessertspoon of herb for each cup required.
Pour in a cup of boiling water for each cup of tea. Allow to steep for 10-15 minutes, then wash out the yogurt into a dish. Add the remainders for a healthier scalp.

2. Aspirin;

Break up two tablets between a thin cloth or napkin. Use a hammer or lightly pound on the aspirin with a cast-iron pan.

Instead of ingesting the aspirin, add the crushed aspirin-powder to your regular shampoo.

When shampooing, leave the shampoo in your hair for two minutes before rinsing.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar;

Take one part apple cider vinegar and mix it with one part water. Wash your hair normally, then pour vinegar-water mixture carefully onto hair and scrub into your scalp. Take care not to let any get into your eyes. If you have psoriasis or any unhealed scratch or scab, it will burn. (If it burns, just rinse the affected area with water)

Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with water. The vinegar smell will disappear once your hair is dry.

Repeat daily for about a week. This works because, as it turns out, dandruff is caused by a fungus, and there isn't a fungus around that cares for vinegar.

4. Baking Soda;

Replace your shampoo with a handful of baking soda. Baking soda is used in a wide variety of ways, and is reputed to work as a natural dandruff remover.

Instead of shampooing, rub a heaping tablespoon of baking soda into your wet hair and scalp. Wash thoroughly after one minute.

Wait for the baking soda to work its magic. After two weeks of your baking soda shampoo, your scalp should begin producing natural oils, leaving the skin on your head moisturized and dandruff-free.



5. Olive Oil;

Apply olive oil before washing your hair. Let it do its stuff for a about 5-10 minutes before washing your hair.

Before going to bed, apply olive oil once more. You may wish to wrap your head in a towel or cotton cap, or use an old pillowcase to absorb the oil. You should wake up to a dandruff free head.

6. Mouth Wash;

Mix 1 part mouthwash with 9 parts water. Pour onto hair after the usual hair wash.

Simply dump the mixture over your head. Then style as normal. Do not rinse out.

7. Coconut Oil;

Wash your hair, but do not use any conditioners. Dry your hair after showering. Make sure your hair does not feel silky, it has to feel dry.

Put coconut oil on your scalp, try to avoid getting it in the rest of your hair.

Wash coconut oil out. Make sure you get it all out. You may have to wash your hair twice to get it out, but once should be fine.

• Repeat this once weekly until dandruff is gone. 

Warning;

Don't scratch your head or pick at the scalp. Such actions irritate the scalp and create soreness. This can cause the dandruff to increase. Instead, massage your scalp with tea tree oil after having a shower to give your hair some extra oils.

Clean your hairbrush regularly in vinegar.

When you use shampoo, try adding a squirt of lemon juice. This can help reduce the effects of dandruff.

Comb your hair with a small toothed comb so that the flaky bits will be combed away. You can even put a little bit of baby powder on the scalp (where the flaky bits are) and use a small toothed comb to comb the dandruff out.

Use some anti-dandruff grease. This can produce good results.

Tips For healthy Living

1. Breathe deeply. Want to do something in the next five minutes that will change your life? Breathe deeply. Clinical health psychologist Amanda Withrow, Ph.D said that unconsciously “we breathe into our chest.” The way we should be breathing, however, is diaphragmatically. “Diaphragmatic breathing is slow, deep breathing into our bellies.” It is an important stress management tool and great because it’s free, can be done anywhere and at any time. “What’s really cool these days is that there are smartphone applications that can guide you through deep breathing and help you to practice properly.”
2. Give and get a hug. According to Lyon, “Give and receive four hugs a day.” Why? Research shows that hugging makes you live longer. Human beings need touch. It “soothes and calms us,” Lyon said. “It brings down that reactive arousal system that can get activated when we feel threatened in any way and especially in stressful situations.”
3. Be mindful. Forget about that mounting to-do list, the fight you had with your best pal, or your Facebook update or Twitter account. Take time out to get back to the present moment. Withrow uses this exercise to help patients be more mindful. She asks them to list five things they see, hear, feel, smell or taste. Doing this helps pause worrying and refocuses attention on the present moment.Another way Withrow suggests we be more mindful is by paying attention to our inner dialogue. A lot of our thoughts are like the acronym for FEAR: false evidence appearing real. If you can learn to be mindful of your thoughts and think more objectively, it can have a positive impact on your behavior and your life.
4. Stop the cruel talk. What’s one way you can start being kinder to yourself? Learn to be more self-compassionate. “I think this whole thing about being cruel to oneself, judgmental, attacking one’s self is really endemic in our culture and is really a problem,” said Lyon. And it is not indicative of how much money you have, the house you own or your job. People in other cultures who are not financially wealthy have more social support and are nicer to themselves and each other. Why? Because of the thoughts and beliefs they have about themselves.Lyon said that negative thinking about one’s self is a contributing factor to a lot of depression and anxiety. Depression is often anger turned back onto one’s self. Labeling and name-calling yourself stupid, for example, can have a negative impact on your life. Health psychologists like Lyon work with people to “stop the war with themselves” through helping individuals recognize negative self-talk when it happens and showing them the link with depressive symptoms.
5. Create your own family of choice. You cannot control the family you’ve been given. But you can create your own. Lyon said that she has many clients who come from a difficult childhood where family members were abusive, physically dangerous and emotionally harmful. She said longitudinal studies show people who have been humiliated, abused or neglected “are at a much higher risk of dying at a younger age and developing a complex chronic condition.”So how do you reap the benefits of having a supportive family if your own family continues to be abusive or toxic? Create your own. Find friends and even older people who can act as parental figures for you. “Rather than encouraging you to, let’s say, drink to excess or use drugs, they would actually support you making healthier choices for yourself. Instead of holding you up for ridicule, this would actually be about doing something good for yourself.”
6. Love yourself and then love your neighbor. In their pre-flight instructions, flight attendants demonstrate how to use the oxygen mask if needed, and tell passengers to put on their own mask first before helping others with theirs. The same applies to self-care.“It’s a distortion to think that self-care is selfish,” Lyon said. Realistically, you will not be able to help anyone else unless you first take care of yourself.
7. Take care of your physical health. This may be a shocker, but Lyon said that the optimum recommendation for physical activity (including aerobic exercise and strength training) is 90 minutes a day. That might seem overwhelming for most. But the good news is that 20 minutes three times a week or ten thousand steps a day is enough to help you increase longevity.
8. Take back control. There are a lot of things in life that we have no control over. But the key to healthy living is focusing on what your thoughts and reactions — the things you can control. Remember the Serenity Prayer? Even nonreligious folks can reap the benefits from following these words: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” Withrow said this is a good rule of thumb for stress management. It can be empowering to focus on what you can control and then let go of the things that you can’t.
9. Make sleep and healthy eating priorities.Getting enough sleep is vital to your mental health and physical wellbeing. A healthy average is seven to nine hours a night. How many hours do you get on a regular basis? Lyon said that making sure to eat regular, nutritious meals is also important. . However, she believes that diets and restricting your food intake can sometimes trigger eating disorders in individuals. Stick with eating at the same time of day every day so that your body is less likely to enter starvation mode and you’re not restricting yourself and your body.
10. Find someone you can confide in. You don’t need millions of Facebook friends or even hundreds of in-person ones. According to research, you just need one trustworthy friend you can confide in to live longer and recover faster from illness. Lyon said that part of the recovery program in some countries includes having someone to talk to about it. Social support is that important.

HOW TO KEEP THE SPARK ALIVE IN YOUR MARRIAGE

* Date your spouse; Just because you're married doesn't mean you can't flirt with your spouse and still court them. Tell them how much you love them or how attractive they look. Drop a pick-up line or two.Never let the sparks die out. Take your spouse out for a date and if possible set up a date night schedule. This will allow you to have quality time together and reconnect after a hectic week. Having alone time will help you appreciate each other and unwind from everyday stress.
.
*Keeping the fire alive; It's easy to get lost in a schedule filled with kids, preparing meals, doctor's appointments, sports, holidays and everything else that gets thrown into our daily lives. Despite busy schedules, couples must make it a priority to keep the spark in their marriage ignited. Remember when you got butterflies the first time you met eyes with your spouse? The first time that you told each other, " I love you!" Just because you're married doesn't mean those feelings have to go away.

*Be affectionate;  Kiss, hug and repeat! Let your spouse know how much they mean to you. Before you part your ways each day make it a ritual to give each other a hug and kiss.

*Prioritize each other; Make time for each other. It's very hard when you have children to get away but remember that without your marriage you would not have the foundation of your family. Keep in mind that your marriage is just as important as your children. You're setting the example for your kids.
                     
  *Surprise; It doesn't have to be expensive or extravagant but surprise your spouse from time-to-time. It can be as simple as leaving a note on the fridge telling them how much they mean to you or as fancy as sending flowers to them at work. Is there a fun event coming to your area in the near future - get tickets and surprise your spouse.

*Sex; It's one of the impotance of marriage. Try and discuss and also suggests fantasies and turn ons.

SUNBURN

Causes and Treatments

A sunburn is a form of radiation burn that affects living tissue, such as skin, that results from an overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun. Usually, normal symptoms in humans and other animals consist of red or reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. An excess of UV radiation can be life-threatening in extreme cases.

What Causes Sunburn

You already know the simple explanation behind sunburn. When your skin is exposed to the sun for a period of time, eventually it burns, turning red and irritated.  Skin damage is caused by both UVA and UVB rays. Sunburn is the most obvious sign that you've been sitting outside for too long. Skin type determines the ease of sunburn. People with fair or freckled skin, blond or red hair, and blue eyes have a higher sunburn incidence. Age also affects how skin reacts to sun. The skin of children younger than 6 and adults older than 60 is more sensitive to sunlight. Between 10am and 4pm daylight , the sun's rays are the strongest. Even on a cloudy day, the sun's damaging UV light can pass through clouds.

 

 

TREATMENT

 

Compresses;  Apply cold compresses to your skin or take a cool bath to soothe the burn.

Creams or gels; To take the sting out of your sunburn, gently rub on a cream or gel containing ingredients such as:

• Menthol
• Camphor
• Aloe Vera

Refrigerating the cream first will make it feel even better on your sunburned skin.

Avoid the sun;. Until your sunburn heals, stay out of the sun. Topical steroids (such as 1% hydrocortisone cream) may also help with sunburn pain and swelling.

 

 Sunscreen; Cover any exposed areas of skin liberally with at least 1 ounce of broad-spectrum sunscreen. That means sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

The sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Follow these tips for applying sunscreen:

• Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before you go outside.
• Use sunscreen even on overcast days because UV rays can penetrate clouds.
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours -- or more often if you're sweating heavily or swimming.

Wear the right clothes; When you have to be outdoors, wear sun-protective clothing, such as:

• A broad-brimmed hat
• A long-sleeved shirt and pants
• UV-blocking sunglasses

 

 

 

WHY DO AFRICANS BLEACH THEIR SKIN?

Pictures of before and after of some black celebrities.

HARMFUL CHEMICALS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN THAT CREAM YOU BUY

Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is a form of skin-bleaching. It is known to have cancer risks and was banned in France. Hydroquinone also is used to develop photographs.

Mercury

       Mercury is active in skin bleaching creams and can damage the brain.

When applied onto the skin, mercury can cause skin rashes, discoloration, and scarring, and can reduce your skin’s ability to resist infection. When ingested, or when used onto the skin so many times that it seeps into your internal system, mercury can cause problems to the brain, nervous system, and kidneys.

 

 

ACNE AND PIMPLES ...................3 STEPS IN TREATING ACNE

Acne is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. These glands secrets sebum an oily substance which protects the skin. Acne is almost always related to hormonal activity in the body, leading to over activity of the oil glands causing excess secretion of oil. The excess oil accumulates below the skin and leads to clogging of the pores. Pimples is also a form of acne but are milder than a full blown acne. Both Acne and Pimples are caused by clogging of the pores. To avoid Acne the face should be cleaned twice daily and avoid touching your face. Hormonal changes (puberty, menstruation, hormone therapy, etc.) are among the biggest causes, but heredity also plays a part, as does stress and medication.

STEPS
. CLEAN YOUR SKIN;   Rinse your skin with lukewarm water. That opens the pores and allows for deep cleansing. Use a gentle scrub once or twice weekly.

. TONE YOUR SKIN;  To avoid the spread of bacteria, tighten your pores with your toner (Any nice toner will do). Where a toner is not readily available use cold water to do the final rinsing of the skin. Cold water actually closes back your pores.

.  MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN;  Use a light oil free moisturizer or cream. If your skin is well moisturized your sebaceous gland won't produce excess sebum.

DATING TIPS FOR SPOTTING" MR RIGHT"

  Girls, how many times have you been in a relationship with a guy who you thought was the perfect man? How can you tell if the man you’re dating is Mr Right, or Mr Right now? It may be too early to tell if you’ve only just started dating, but there are a few promising signs you should watch out for nevertheless. Here are dating tips to help you decide if you’re on the path to true love:


STEPS

You like him more each day.

You laugh when you think about him.

You really like him despite his flaws.

You want to be with him always.

 

You are physically attracted to each other.

 

 So here are a few tips on how to recognize the frogs "before" you actually kiss them.

 

Know what you're looking for in a future husband and don't settle because he seems "okay."

Don't stick around with a guy who is manipulative and controlling

Examine his relationship with his mother

Beware of rushing into a relationship

Don't rush into sex

Recognize disrespect as a warning

TIPS

If a guy suddenly stops calling as much as he did and stops fussing over you or wanting to go out, he has lost interest. Don't waste your time crying over spilled milk or trying to reason him back into the feeling the way he once did. Call and let him know you've moved on but most of all be strong and resolute. Show no weakness, you can cry it off later when he can't see or hear.

Remember it's important to know who you are before you decide to look for Mr. Right. If you find that you're kissing far too many frogs, take a break and spend sometime putting yourself into focus. A breakup is rarely one person's fault, but sometimes it's good to think back on what you did wrong to find out how you can do better in the future.

Think about all the times he made you cry in comparison to how he made you laugh. Did you really forget about how he hit you, cheated on you, betrayed you, than abandoned you? Think about it, and that gives you a view of what your future would have been with him.

Everyone out there has a soul mate and there's someone who will love you unconditionally. Be patient and love will come from some unexpected place when you least expect it to.

Remember men and women think differently, and relationships call for compromise. There's an important distinction, however, between compromising on the details of a relationship, like whether to have pizza or Chinese food, and compromising your values and beliefs. Pizza is one thing, your faith, integrity, and values are another.

When you decide to break it off with a guy, be humane and tactful. Even if you think he's a loser, don't tell him that. Say that you aren't ready for a committed relationship, or you don't think it's a good fit. Remember, what you do comes back to you and don't be harsh. You don't have to give a dissertation on it, but giving him some reason is better than just breaking it off without explanation.

WARNINGS

If you decide to end it with a guy, do not let him try to stop you or change your mind. It's your decision to make. Watch out for charmers, flatterers and/or sweet-talkers. These are the worst kind or men who prey on women with low-self-esteem by thoughtlessly giving idle compliments.

If the man in question makes threats or gets physically violent, call the police.
