How Do We Stop Stressing And Start Living?

by Sohia Marcelclouds

A few years back, Roberta Lee, M.D., co-director of the Integrative Medicine Felowship at Beth Israel’s Continuum Center for Health and Healing in New York and author of The SuperStress Solution,  did a study on patients who were showing telltale symptoms of post tramatic stress disorders, anxiety and sleep disturbance.  She said these patients hadn’t  been through any terrifying ordeal and in fact denied feeling overly stressed at all.

What she found out was that these people had been living under such extreme stress for so long, they didn’t know they were stressed, she said, ” it had become an invisible part of the landscape of their lives”.

According to, Stephanie  McClelan, M.D, and Beth Hamilton M.D., co-authors of So Stressed: The Ultimate Stress Relief Plan for Women, we each have our very own stress personality. Read More »

UMM…Should You Get a Personal Trainer for Your Vajayjay?

Many factors can weaken our pelvic muscles, from pregnancy, childbirth, to being overweight. This is known as a pelvic organ prolapse and the effects can range from uncomfortable pelvic pressure to leakage of urine, incontinence, and even sexual dysfunction.

If left untreated the condition may worsen, and normally can only be repaired with corrective surgery and most often will result in a complete hysterectomy.

The Kegel Exercise is the only known non-surgical solution for the prevention of nearly all forms of female pelvic floor disorders, and I would like to add that Kegel exercises are not only for women but men as well.

There are many devices out there to help you with these exercises, but statistics have shown that since its introduction over 60 years ago, the Kegel exercise can be performed where a woman squeezes nothing, and if done correctly has been proven effective.

You can do Kegel exercises discreetly from just about anywhere, whether you are sitting at your desk, in your car or relaxing on your sofa. Start by understanding what Kegel exercises can do for you, then follow step by step instructions for contracting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles.

By the way you can even do Kegel exercises while you are pregnant.

So you want long hair?

Long hair may seem simple to grow, but you may discover hair has a natural length that is genetically determined based on the growth cycle of follicles, and shape of the hair shaft.

Growing long hair is difficult but not impossible. The best method for growing long hair is by having lots and lots of patience. Hair grows an average of six inches per year, so in order to get waist-length hair it can take from four to seven years even with assiduous care. Treating the hair properly inside and out is critical for healthy hair. As hair gets longer, dull, limp strands are more noticeable than if you had short hair.

To begin growing out your hair, the hair must first be healthy. I know it’s frustrating for me when every time I visit my salon they snip the couple of inches I just grew out. One of London’s leading stylists, Michael Van Clarke, is hoping to remedy this with his new product line, 3 more inches (3MI).  A haircare system as he describes designed to decrease hair’s aging process (those thinning ends) and thereby increase its length and thickness.

If you want to check out how you would look before you spend years growing it out or get a “wild hair” and cut it all off, check out Clairols TRY IT ON STUDIO.  Who knows, you might find a whole new look all together!

How Safe Is Your Drinking Water?

by Sophia Marcelwater1

 

I read an interesting article written by Janelle Sorenson, in the May issue of Martha Stewarts publication of Body + Soul on what’s in the water flowing from our faucets.

Our waterways may not be as thick with oil and sludge as they were before the Clean Water Act was passed in the 1970’s, but today’s threats are more insidious, because they are invisible. The chemical traces of modern day consumption and convenience from pharmaceutical and personal care products to solvents, repellents, and more are now in our waterways. With hundreds of new chemicals created every year it’s impossible to know exactly what impact this will have on our planet.

Last November, the Environmental Working Group (EGW) released Read More »
