There are several books now that discuss the power of thought and I have been experimenting with the concept for the past few years. I understand the concept that “like things” attract more “like things”. So the more positive (or negative) I have in my life the more positive (or negative) things I attract. In addition, I was familiar with the idea that just by thinking about someone/thing, it has the habit of materializing. But I thought, was this just coincidence?

It’s one thing to read and learn about these concepts, but it’s another thing to experience them. One of the most profound experiences that made a true believer out of me was on a trip to Hawaii with my husband and mother during the Christmas season. It was Christmas Eve afternoon and we were driving back to our resort - a timeshare in the middle of no-where on the Big Island surrounded by black, hardened lava. As we made our way up the now familiar, winding road that was almost an hour from the nearest city, I expressed my desire to go to a Christmas Eve service. Something I had been thinking about all week. I was not a regular churchgoer, but It never seemed like Christmas to me, unless I attend and sing carols at a candlelight service. By this time I expressed my wish, it was 5pm and our chauffer (my husband) wasn’t really in the mood to drive back to town in search of a church.

Just as we came to the top of the hill, a block from our condo (if you could call it a block since there was next to nothing surrounding the resort.) There was a little sign along the edge of the highway “Center for Positive Living, Christmas Eve Service, 7pm, All Welcome.” This in itself was a miracle - as we had passed this stretch that very morning and numerous times before - and there was no indication of a sign or even a building! In addition and to my amazement, the name of the ‘center’ was the exact name of a church in our hometown that we had been meaning to attend for several months - but had never quite made it. Of course, we attended the service and it was abundant with carols and gifts, and it proved to be the most enjoyable service that I have ever attended.

For me, this experience solidified the power of thought. Since then, I have been playing with this idea and believe there is nothing that I can’t manifest. Of course, through my travels I have learned a few ways to assist the process of manifestation along the way.

Thoughts

Thoughts are the key to manifesting. Not only do I try to think positive thoughts, I also try to eliminate negative thoughts or self-talk. This isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but it got easier. The more I stuck to it, the more my life was blessed with positive things and the easier it became, and the easier it was, the more positive things that were manifested and so on.

Not only did I manifest positive things, but also I manifested what I was intending. Sometimes the manifestation didn’t always appear as fast or exactly as I wanted, but, then again, sometimes the universe knows best (but that’s another story.)

Affirmations

Most people have heard or used affirmations. Affirmations are just statements of a thought or intention. By stating your intentions concretely you send the message to the universe that you already have that which you want to attract. At first, I found affirmations a bit hokey, because in the back of my mind I was thinking, “this isn’t true”, but of course, if the statements were already true (in reality) I wouldn’t need to do affirmations about them. Our mind has no distinction between reality and fantasy, so by stating our thoughts it changes their existence from inside (the mind) to outside (reality).

Some additional tips in formulating affirmations:

• State them as if they were already true (even if you believe otherwise)
• State them in present tense.
  Include your name in the statement, for example:

  I, Kimberly, am …

• State each affirmation at least 3 times. Once to say it, once to hear it, and lastly to integrate it.
• State your affirmations often. After waking up or before going to bed is the best time of day, although you can state them anytime throughout the day if you need a reminder or pick-me-up.
• Say them out loud. Put them on a tape recorder or paste them to your mirror so you hear/see them frequently.
• Focus on a feeling, rather than material/physical objects. This leaves the ‘what’ up to the universe and often the results you intend to achieve are far greater than you could ever envision yourself.

  For example: I, Kimberly, feel peace within, at all times.

Intention Map

Turn your affirmations into pictures. Gather pictures, photographs, and words of things you want to manifest in your life and place them on a piece of Bristol or on a bulletin board. Hang them where you will see them everyday. Look at them frequently and imagine yourself there.

Visualizations & Meditation

Turn your affirmations or intention maps into visualizations in your mind. Imagine that the intention is already true and you are living the life you dream of. Visualize the intention and release it into the universe to be manifested.

Now that you have several tools you can use to manifest your desires, here is the trick. There can be no attachment to having the intention manifested. Of course, it’s a given that you want this intention, otherwise you wouldn’t have thought about it. However, you can’t be attached to the result or be fixated on it happening. You have to believe it as if it were true and possible, but leave it to the universe to decide the details: when, where, how, etc. and let it come to you when the time is right. Remember everything happens for a reason.

Once you have mastered this, everything is in your reach. Don’t just dream about the life you want: manifest it into reality!

If you’re like many of us and just have to have that suntan whether it’s August or January then you should seriously think about buying a home tanning bed. Home tanning beds are a great investment.

You can purchase home tanning beds online, from salons that are upgrading, from many retail outlets, and sometime out of your local papers classified ads.

The prices on home tanning beds vary depending on the make, model, age, and where you live. In northern communities that get winter the value of these beds tends to be higher than in southern communities that see the warm sun all year round.

A home tanning bed is wired to work with your home wiring. The stronger beds will require you to have an electrician install a 220 plug. The same type of plug your electric stove uses. It’s really quite affordable. The smaller less powerful beds will operate on a regular 110 plug.

What type of bed you buy is a personal choice that depends on the amount of space you have to dedicate to a tanning bed, how you tan, and what you want to obtain with your bed. Yes I know a suntan, but there are different levels of tanning.

Home tanning beds are a much nicer option than having to run to the salon all the time. Between the salons busy schedule and your busy schedule it can be a real pain to juggle. Not only that you whip in have your tan whip back out and you’re rushing the whole time.

At home you can turn your tanning session into a time to relax. Put on your favorite tunes, crawl into your tanning bed and breath deep - relax! Then you can hop into your own shower put on some comfy clothes and curl up with a good book or your favorite television show. Beats the heck out of the salon scenario!

How much you spend is up to you. But you should set a rough budget before you start looking. Beds are available in a wide range of prices depending on maker, bulb strength, bed size, and age. If you are on a tight budget look at older beds, but be sure to replace the bulbs so they are at their maximum strength.

Maintaining a tanning bed is pretty straight forward. You have the cleaning process to disinfect and remove oils from the platform so as not to inhibit the ability of the tanning rays to reach you. You’ll need to replace the bulbs on a regular schedule, and you’ll need to replace any parts that become worn.

Bulbs loose their strength fairly quickly. If a bulb is rated for 900 hours by 450 hours it has lost half of its strength. Now you can continue to use that bulb but you’ll need to tan twice as long to get the same results as you did when the bulb was new.

Home tanning beds come with various options such as internal cooling systems, built in stereo systems, and different types of bulbs. Some beds have special face tanning bulbs. If you’re not sure about a certain option you can always do a quick search online to find out more information.

Home tanning beds are large so if you are purchasing online you’ll want to make sure you know your shipping costs. Many of the manufacturers or dealers will ship a new bed for free so that might be a good option to pursue.

So if your tan is important to you consider purchasing a home tanning bed! Home tanning beds are available to meet everyone’s needs!

Your lifetime will be summed up in less than a page, and that’s being generous. All your striving for glory, all your efforts for fame, all your seeking of love and recognition, will end in a single page of history that nobody will care much to read. Your body and the bodies of those you call friend or foe will fade into the same dust. All of your worldly possessions will pass on. Ungrateful generations will roam the world, ignorant of the ground they stand on.

Our victorious fathers have painted a wonderful illusion of our history. Intermingling half truths with half fallacies. In the glory of their day death hid under a stone until it rose up larger than the sun and devoured them.

Don’t be as foolish. Uncover death and invite it over for dinner. It has been falsely assumed that death is a thief. How wrong they have been. Death is a great teacher. When you refuse to consider death, you deny its wisdom. True wisdom of death assures you the greatest use of life.

The secret of the youth has been searched since long time ago. Many researchers have done some experiments to find ways to slow down the aging process.

There are some techniques which have been implemented, but the most important things for us to do are being consistent in implementing healthy lifestyle and eating habits.

We can’t stop the natural change, but we can still look younger if we want to work hard to slow down the aging process.

Therefore, I’m going to help you with 10 easy steps to make you look younger:

Detox - It’s important to start detoxification, getting rid of toxin from our body. Our body metabolism has done that process, but in everyday life we are exposed to so many chemical hazards from air, food and environment. Fasting or just consuming fruits and vegetables are ways to detoxify our body.

Sleep - Having enough sleep at least 6-8 hours a day will make our skin healthier. Having a good sleep is also important because growth hormone is working during that time. It renews the old cell of our body, include the skin cell. Our skin will look fresh and young if we have enough sleep.

Food - Eating healthy and safe food everyday will make our body fit, slim and also look younger. Try to eat more fish instead of red meat. Fiber food, vegetables, fruits, and supplements are important food to consume. Drink less coffee and other caffeine beverages.

Exercise - Through routine exercise, we will feel happier, energetic, and confident. It also increases our bone density and muscle which can make our body look 15-20 years younger. Beside aerobic, walking, and swimming, goes also to the gym to do lifting exercise.

Relax - By trying to be relaxed, our face will look younger. Stress and worries appear on our face. If we can manage our stress and feel at peace, our face will look younger and attractive.

Be Positive - A positive mind and affirmation we said can bring positive life to us. Negative thought tend to bring failure and make us look older and unattractive. Meditation is one way to make positive thoughts.

Medical Check-up - Just like a car, our body also needs attention and care so it can work well everyday. Having routine medical checkups during our healthy time is important to recognize diseases as soon as possible.

Active Life - Always try to be active during your life. Activities can increase health; and if you are in your elder age, your memory will increase too.

Social Life - Happy social life can increases our spirit, bring peaceful mind, and make us feel and look younger. Communication with our friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and others can bring happiness to us.

Performance - Start to look at our performance. Is our body weight ideal for us? If not, try to fix that to the best ideal weight. Also look to the skin, hair, nail and teeth. Those are important as they will show our age. Looks good and feels good will increase our performance.

This article was written to answer many of the most frequently asked questions about beauty salons and hair stylists. I hope you find this information helpful. I begin with a story that I’m sure, speaks for many:

I’ll never forget how humiliated I was when I walked out of a beauty salon with my embarrassed husband in tow, slinking all the way through a mall just to get to our car and hide…..I couldn’t get out there fast enough! I immediately went home and washed my hair out and did it again. Color, cut and styling was a complete disaster! It was my first visit to a new beauty salon. I thought I had asked the right questions such as, “Is there a stylist there with experience working with natural curly hair?” Of course the answer was, “Yes.” I learned the person with experience was just out of school and this was her first job.

Have you gone through a similar experience? As a client, we expect to leave the beauty salon with a smile on our face, feel beautiful and be excited about our experience. It is my hope that similar situations can be prevented with a few tips:

- If you admire someone elses hair, ask them the name of their beauty salon and stylist. If not, then

- Is the beauty salon easy to get to from home or work?

- Inquire if the stylists have experience with your type of hair. For example, is your hair long, curly or straight.

- You can find reviews on the internet of beauty salons in your area by zip codes.

- How do you feel when you enter a beauty salon? Are you greeted right away? Is the salon clean and inviting?

- Are the staff dressed appropriately? Do they take care of their hair?

- You can provide pictures of hair styles you like to the stylist. There are also hairstyle magazines in all salons for you to check out.

- Do you enjoy being with your stylist?

- Does the stylist ask you what you would like and offer suggestions?

- Does the stylist discuss shampoos, conditioners or special treatments that would improve the health of your hair?

- Now you’re all ready for “the look.” Does the stylist give you the information you’ll need on how to maintain that style once you leave the salon?

If you can answer most of the questions to your satisfaction, then you’ve probably found a beauty salon and a hair stylist that will make you look fabulous. If not, get all of your information from the next beauty salon on your list. There is a talented hair stylist waiting just for you!

We have come to the end of my informational article. It’s now your turn to take this information and do something with it and then you can have a good hair day! Good luck and thanks for visiting.

Laser hair removal has been around for sometime. It’s considered to be one of the safest ways for permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is a low-energy laser applied over the area of unwanted hair. Low-energy laser damages the hair follicles. The hair gets burned-out without damaging skin or any other tissues.

When laser hair removal is done professionally, there’s a patch test first. This way you’ll get the right laser and intensity. Don’t let anybody treat you without doing patch test. One of the main benefits of laser hair removal is that it can be done on a large area of the body in one session. Procedure is little bit uncomfortable and many people experience little pain, but it doesn’t require anesthesia. Local or topical anesthetic is usually applied if person experiences a higher degree of discomfort.

Treatment is very effective. After several sessions, about 95 percent of unwanted hair has been removed. One huge benefit of laser hair removal is that it doesn’t require any medications, needles or follow-ups. You don’t need to go to hospital either.

After laser hair removal session, skin might get little red where treatment was applied. It will not last longer than 24 hours. Unwanted hairs will fall off in 1-2 weeks after treatment.

If you have a darker skin color and you are having a skin-lightening procedure such as bleaching, read carefully. Bleaching procedure should be done before getting laser hair removal treatment. Remember that don’t get laser hair removal within 10 days to two weeks after bleaching procedure.

If you want to boost effectiveness of laser hair removal, shave the unwanted hair couple days earlier before treatment. This way laser will have easier access to hair follicles.

How many times have you told yourself “yes!” today? Not enough I bet. Yes is the most powerful word in the English language.

Unfortunately, too many times we say yes to others when we should say no. At the same time we continue to tell ourselves no when we need to say yes.

You deserve to create the life of your dreams. Period. The first step on that road is to learn to tell yourself yes before you say yes to others.

One big reason so many people don’t like their lives is because they accidentally created a life that’s not based on what they want. How did that happen? Pretty easily and unconsciously.

If most of your life isn’t how you thought it would turn out then you haven’t figured out what you want to say yes to in your life. This doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a typical twenty-first century human whose life is filled with distracting details and tasks. Random decisions lead us down random paths with random endings we don’t want.

When you know what you want to say yes to then your life begins to change drastically. Why? Because anything that comes up that’s not on your “Yes list” is an automatic no. How helpful is that? Very helpful.

This allows you to cut out time that gets wasted on activities you don’t need to do. For example lets pretend Grace’s yes list includes things like reading, having a clean house, taking care of her kids, exercising, being healthy, enjoying her job, and connecting with her friends.

So today, like every day, Grace is bombarded with choices. She gets to work and someone generously brought in a huge box of donuts to share with everyone. She thinks one would taste good and she wouldn’t mind a sugar rush to get her day started. Should she eat it? Not if she’s saying yes to being healthy. That yes cuts out the possibility of junk food and helps to prevent a future morning in the mirror asking “How did this happen to me?”

Later in the day a friend calls and invites Grace out to dinner at 9 p.m. Grace says no to dinner out because she ate out last night and doesn’t want the extra calories amoung other reasons that don’t fit her “yes list”. But then she says yes if her friend will come over to her house at 7 instead of 9 so she can have a healthier meal, be with her kids, get to bed early enough to not be tired at work and to live within her “yes list.”

Do you get it? The point is that if your yes list has “start my own business” at the top then you say no to anything that doesn’t support it like too much television viewing, playing video games every day, joing a softball league, etc.

Once you make your “yes list” and then prioritize the list you’ll be in the driver’s seat as you drive through each day making choice after choice after choice. You’ll be conscious about waht you want and you’ll be doing what you need to do to get what you want. Your future mornings with the mirror will see you smiling and thrilled with your life.

This way you won’t end up at the end of your life wondering “what if?” Even better, you won’t be complaining about what you should’ve, could’ve or would’ve done. Instead you’ll be basking in your accomplishments and living the life you love.

Hair loss can be very frustrating and scary. Whether we notice thinning of our hair or receding hairline, we may feel the need to begin searching for information about hair loss.

There are many factors involved in hair loss including: heredity, aging, hormones, a faulty immune system that may mistake the hair follicles for foreign matter and attack them, poor circulation, sudden weight loss, thyroid disease, diabetes, stress, and vitamin deficiencies.

Nutritional deficiencies are one of the factors in hair loss that are under our control. The following are nutrients that are among those that are important for hair growth and healthy hair and scalp: protein, cysteine (an amino acid), B-complex especially biotin, Vitamin A and C, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Hair is made up of protein and therefore it is very important for healthy hair although most Americans eat too much protein. Vegetarians need to pay attention to this and make sure to combine beans with brown rice, corn, nuts, or wheat, or combine brown rice with beans, nuts, seeds, or wheat to make up a complete protein.

Cysteine is one of the amino acids that make up protein. It is the chief constituent of hair. Cysteine is present in sulfur containing foods: fish, meat, egg yolks, onions, garlic, nuts, kale, cabbage, and raspberries. Cysteine is a powerful detoxifier also.

B vitamins help to maintain the health of hair, especially biotin. Some good sources of biotin and other B vitamins include: brewer’s yeast, egg yolks, meat, milk, saltwater fish, soybeans, and whole grains. Eating raw egg whites can deplete the body of biotin and should be avoided. Fats that have been exposed to heat or air can affect biotin absorption. Antibiotics and the use of saccharin (present in many types of toothpaste) can interfere with biotin as well.

Vitamin A can be found in animal livers and fruits and vegetables that are yellow or green. The following are good sources: carrots, broccoli, fish liver oil, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, spinach, cantaloupe, and peaches.

Vitamin C is present in citrus fruits, berries, and green vegetables and is very important for healthy hair.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for circulation and to feed the hair root. It is also important to give the body what it needs to produce hormones that have a positive affect on the hair. It also works as a lubricant for the scalp. Sources include: flaxseed and fish like salmon and tuna.

Eating a healthy diet to include Protein, cysteine, A, B, and C vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids can help to prevent hair loss by keeping hair and scalp healthy

Bioavailability of pure isoflavones in healthy humans and analysis of commercial soy isoflavone supplements. Two of the primary soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, are found in many supplements.

Clinicians and researchers are understandably cautious about recommending isoflavone supplements in the treatment of cancer. Because of the estrogen-like behavior of isoflavones, there’s some concern that isoflavone supplements could cause cancer.

Participants will receive an isoflavone supplement and placebo each for 2-months. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to take two different doses of isoflavone supplement or a placebo (sugar pill). Study 1 was a randomised crossover study whereby subjects consumed a placebo or isoflavone supplement for 2 months and crossed over. Study 2 was a parallel design in which subjects consumed a placebo for 1 month and an isoflavone supplement for 3 months.

If the isoflavone supplement is estrogenic via ER, it should up-regulate OTR in a manner similar to that of estrogen. However, the isoflavone supplement significantly decreased the induction of OTR by estrogen in the VMN. Again, if the isoflavone supplement is estrogenic, it should down-regulate ER mRNA in a manner similar to that of estrogen. Similarly, ingestion of the isoflavone supplement in combination with both estrogen and progesterone significantly decreased female receptive behavior.
