Healthy Winter Tips!

Hey peeps,


As winter approaches and we look to the idea that we need to wrap up and hibernate during the next few months , here are some healthy to help  you through.


10)Go Outside Enjoy the Winter Sun
Just because it is winter it doesn't mean the sun has disappeared. Make sure that you spend some time outside each day soaking up the fresh, frosty light. If you go and come back form work in the dark make sure to get outside at lunchtime. A lack of light in winter is thought to cause depression, overeating and  disturbed sleep patterns in 7% of the population, make sure you get your fill.

9)Keep your Air Fresh
It's always nice to come home to a nice warm home in winter. Although, because of the insulation and double glazing that keeps you warm, little fresh air comes into the house  moisture builds up. Moisture can lead to mould growth that might damage your home, getting into fabrics and furnishings, and more importantly have a detrimental effect on your health. Mould and mould spores can cause allergic reactions making your home an unwelcoming place. Use a dehumidifier to take away the excess moisture and stop mould growth.  Look after you home and your home will look after you.

8)Open your windows
Even though it's getting frosty outside your house could really do with a fresh breeze at times. I know it's cold but there is no better way to bring fresh air into your home and revitalize you body. It is especially important at night to clean the air in your home, expelling the build up of pollutants and replenishing the oxygen in the air in your home.

7)Change the lights
As winter approaches we all will spend more and more time indoors. As it is often dark before we go to work and dark after we come back the lights are on for most of the time. Why not have a light that saves energy and cleans the air. 

6)Defend Against Dust Mites 
We all like a toasty place to curl up in at night, the only problem is so do dust mites. As it gets cold outside the dust mites invade in search of warm moist areas to live. 

5)Freshen up you Bed
The only problem with a nice, cosy bed is it causes us to sweat making the bedding moist. This can attract dust mites and even cause mould growth. Make sure that you  air your bed well and regularly to stop it getting any uninvited guests.

4)Protect your Lungs
Cold air can be hard for anyone to breathe let alone someone suffering from asthma or respiratory problems. Make sure that you protect your lungs from the sharp breeze and possible chest infections by covering up. 

3)Keep you home Allergy Free
You want to keep your home an inviting place to come back to and there is nothing worse than stepping through the door with a sneeze. Make your home a healthy space to curl up in.

2)Sleep Wonderful Sleep
If you want to feel healthy and energetic throughout the day then there is nothing more important than a good night's sleep. This can be very hard for lots of us who suffer from sensitive skin.  After a great night's sleep you'll be ready for anything winter can throw at you.

1)Exercise
All we want to do this time of year is to curl up in front of the TV with a hot drink. However it is really important to try to get out a few times a week and exercise. This doesn't have to mean you freezing outside. Try heading to you local swimming pool or find an evening dance class to while away the winter nights, even yoga in your living room, anything that gets you up and moving. By putting in a little bit of energy you'll be amazed how much you get back and how much better you feel.


Until da next Tyme !

Seduction !

hello peeps,


So once again I am putting it out there with some topics that we all seem to hide and bury our heads in the sand.
We all do it at one time or another in our life, we get the urge to seduce someone....... yes you did , its natural, don't try and deny it ...... whether its calling, the flirting of the eyes, the longing glance as the object of your eye walks away or toward you.... we all do it, its a part of our mating ritual 


But how do we know or  judge when seducing someone goes to far?


Five general seduction mistakes

Expecting the relationship to solve your problems
The rest of your life is dead dull. Nothing in it excites you. The only thing that makes life seem worthwhile is this new person you are dating. You put all your energy and time and passion into this new blossoming relationship. Surely this will be appreciated? Wrong.
This new person will quickly feel smothered by you and your neediness and hit the road at the first possible opportunity. No-one wants to feel that they are someone else’s heart-lung machine. Neurotic obsession is not an attractive thing.
If you enrich your life with other interests and activities, the passion you feel for things other than the relationship will be contagious and the person will be attracted by this. Other people cannot solve our problems – we have to become whole in ourselves before we can have successful relationships with other people.
Hopping into the sack too quickly
This is almost always a mistake. Having sex too soon gets the message across that this is not an unusual thing for you to do and therefore not special or out of the ordinary. Neither men nor women like the feeling that they might just be another notch on the bedpost. No-one likes feeling used, however good the sex was.
Find a way to put off sex until there is some emotional involvement, if you would like this connection to turn into anything long term. There’s nothing wrong with saying something like “I am very attracted to you, but when I like someone I don’t like rushing into things.” This lets your potential partner know that you have respect for him/her as well as for yourself and that you find them attractive. In other words, you are a good long term proposition.
Projecting your world of fantasy onto this person
From your rose-tinted perspective, the new woman/ man  in your life is perfect. A Dream Come True. All your friends can see that he/ she is a gold digger with another boyfriend/ girlfriend and they have a very uncertain career history.
Women are particularly prone to projecting their image of perfect partners onto someone who at best can only be seen as a long term project. Even if the thought of changing him is attractive, the bottom line is that it just doesn’t work. People are what they are and very seldom change. Especially not as a result of your efforts.
Learn to read the signs. If this person is curiously unavailable and uncontactable on certain weekends, has a problem with drinking or drugs that he promises to deal with sometime in the future and is between jobs, it is time for you to stop and smell the coffee. He or she is involved with at least one other person, is an alcoholic or drug addict with no intention of doing anything about it and has just been fired again.
This person will never be what you want them to be. Dump him/her as you are wasting valuable time.
Chasing someone too hard
Both men and women can spell desperation at fifty paces. And it doesn’t smell nice. If you are too insistent, phone too often, are always available at short notice (were you the third person he phoned for movies?), are prepared to put off other things when they want to see you, buying too many gifts and blaming them for not giving you enough attention, you will only succeed in making this person feel smothered and wanting to escape from you. This goes for both men and women.
Whereas attention is initially flattering, it is never a good idea to be too persistent in pursuing someone else. Making someone feel claustrophobic is not a good start to anything.
Whether we like it or not, men traditionally like to be the pursuers . Being chased too hard and unsubtly, is only going to make them run. In many cases women also feel claustrophobic if someone is too insistent.
The heart-lung machine syndrome
You begin to spend all your time together. You go to the same places, see the same people and do all the same things together. You no longer see your old friends or go to the book club or go walking with a friend. Your parents haven’t seen you in weeks. You and your new partner are suffering from the Siamese twin syndrome.
You and your new partner begin to depend on each other more and more and you are both starting to alienate old friends. Giving up your individual identity for each other is something that will always backfire on the long run.
Invariably, one person gets to expect too much from the other one and starts taking them for granted, because they are there and all too willing. One person will start to put less and less effort into the relationship as the other one is willing to do all the work. No-one likes feeling totally responsible for someone else’s happiness.
It is important for both men and women to hold onto their individual identity. Don’t change who you are for someone else. If they don’t love you for who you are, they don’t love you. Simple as that. Pursue your own activities and interests and continue seeing friends and family. That way you will have something to talk about when you see each other again.

Until da next Tyme!

Sex is good for you !


Hey sexy people,
Ok I am putting it out there, as I came of age, my sexual appetite has increased....
Now for those people that s reeling with horror with remarks such as  ... Oh my god, how can she say that ??? 
Life is too short to hold back, we all need to own and know ourselves to fully enjoy living
It comes as no surprise to most people that scientific evidence is mounting that sex is good for your health. It adds enjoyment to our lives and may even make us live longer.  
There is growing evidence that health does not only depend on genetics, diet and exercise, but also on the social and emotional health of the individual.
Sexual healing requires the maintenance of a close intimate relationship, which could, in turn, lead to balance between our health and healing systems.
The flip side of this is that a lack of sexual intimacy can create a risk factor for certain diseases. Sexual dissatisfaction seems to be prevalent prior to heart attacks, while sexual contentment appears related to less severe migraines, less severe premenstrual syndrome in women and a reduction in symptoms related to chronic arthritis for both men and women.
Researchers have not exactly determined how our thoughts, feelings and immune system and genital system interact and how this influences our health. There is a strong indication that when we experience intimate, mutually caring sexual intimacy, we may experience a measurable change in neurochemicals and hormones that pour through the body and help promote health and healing.
This does not mean just having sex more often, but that it is that feeling of openness, connection to and bonding with a partner that makes sex such a healing experience.
So bottom line is be healthy in your sexual encounters, it is good for you , in mind, body and soul!
Until da next Tyme!
