Bedtime Habits Only Happy Couples Do
Relationships need investment. Not only to build, but to last as well.
Don’t you feel that you’re in a constant rush and anxiety in this modern world? You’re connected on the Internet 24/7, but are you truly connected to your partner 24/7 as well?
The last thing and the first thing you do in the day, should be a sign of devotion to your partner, if you want a long -lasting relationship.
Here are some advices to achieve that, or to bring it back, if you lost it somewhere on the road.
Forget about work and problems at the office
It’s normal to discuss work and annoying colleagues and bosses, but you have to know when to stop. And checking the e-mail from work can definitely wait until the morning coffee!
Go to bed at the same time
This shows that you or your partner respect each other’s tiredness and obligations during the day. A nice hug for the ending of a long day is the most precious gift you can’t buy with money. It also helps maintaining the intimacy in the relationship.
No distractions in the bed
Turn the phones volume off. Set the alarm and ditch it somewhere further from your sight and hands.
Have a routine together
Like, watching an episode of your show, washing teeth together, sharing a hot shower together, or walking your dog. Those late night jokes and smiles when the tension of the day is gone are priceless!
Never argue before going to bed
If you sense an argue developing, run away from the fight, change the subject or cool it down. Going to bed angry is unhealthy for you and your dreams and rest, not to talk about being bitter in the start of a new day as well.
Keep the bedroom child-free
The psychologist Michael Viner-Davis claims that “the only time you can let your children sleep in your bed is when they have a nightmare. At all other times, your bedroom should be your private space. You need to have that space for the 2 of you to maintain your intimacy”.
Don’t drink alcohol before going to bed
Though alcohol makes you sleep heavy, that’s really not “the good sleep” you want to have, because the body will first recover from the alcohol, than later, really rest and sleep. That will make you annoyed in the morning. Also, heavy sleeping is regularly “partnered” by snoring – a habit that’s not really pleasant for your partner in bed.
Massage before bed time
There’s not much needed to be said here. A massage is the ultimate relaxation, such as a hot shower…plus, those intimate touches may lead somewhere else…
Hugs, kisses and spreading the love
This is the best habit to end the day with. Everyone struggles with immense stress and uncomfortable situations during their day, so hearing the love words, feeling the gentle kisses and really feeling you belong somewhere and you’re being taken care of, is the thing worth living for.
Get Rid of Belly Fat Right Now
If you are a skinny person by nature, but you just can’t seem to shake that belly off, then no worries, you’re not the only one.
Many women are struggling with their belly, even though every other part of their body seems to be skinny. But this is not due to obesity or fat. The belly can be due to so many things that you might not even know you’re doing wrong.
Here are some of the reasons you might have a bloated belly:
1. Belly Caused By Alcohol
If you drink too much alcohol, don’t wonder why you have a belly. Many alcohol drinkers are skinny because the alcohol raises your blood flow, but they do have a belly because alcohol also bloats.
The best thing in this scenario would be to just stop drinking alcohol altogether, or, worst-case scenario, drink less.
2. Belly Caused By Pregnancy
This belly is important in the life of every mother because she bore her child there, but it can be really stubborn to remove. This can only be done with proper exercises, yoga, but try consulting your doctor before you go and do one of these things because your baby’s health is what matters most after all.
3. Belly Caused By Stress
Stress makes a wreck of your body, emotionally and physically. Your mind is not the only one suffering from stress. Stress can lead to overeating, sometimes even unconsciously. Now you realize where your belly might be coming from? You need to include at least some kind of exercise into your daily routine and cut out all the junk and oily food that we tend to subject our bodies to.
4. Belly Caused By Hormones
Sometimes having a belly is really not because you’re doing something wrong. Maybe your body is doing something wrong and you have a hormonal imbalance. Either way, what you should do if your belly is really persistent and you’re sure it’s nothing else – go see a doctor and check your hormones.
5. Belly Caused By Gas
Having a bloated belly by gas is uncomfortable and also really bad for your health as it can lead to ulcers or even stomach cancer. The best way to avoid this is to not eat foods that make you gassy. Some of them include unhealthy and oily food (fast food) and stick to healthier options.
8 Signs Indicating Someone is a Psychopath
Psychopathy is a personality disorder with different characteristics. These characteristics indicate that a person may suffer from it. However, it is not easy to see if someone is a psychopath.
They seem normal, but they possess a great charm that fools people and they are very manipulative.
In the world, there are a lot of psychopaths who are unnoticed. But, not all of them are murderers or criminals. Anyway, we offer you a list of 8 signs that may help you spot a psychopath.
1. Liars
These people always lie. They even lie about things that are not beneficial to them. But, why do they do it? Well, it gives them some false sense of power.
2. They See Themselves as Better than Others
Psychopaths feel like they are much better than other people. In fact, they believe they are stronger and more intelligent than anyone else.
3. Appealing Personalities
Usually, these people are liked by the others. They are friendly, and people can approach them. They are not like in the movies.
4. No Empathy
People are often empaths, but psychopaths do not feel empathy. They do not understand other people’s emotions, and they do not care at all.
5. They Put the Blame on Others
These people pick up insignificant things about many people, and they do that to gain trust. Also, they use people’s vulnerability to control them. They like when other people feel guilty.
6. They Never Feel Guilty
When a normal person hurts someone, they feel guilty. But, a psychopath does not feel guilty.
7. They Are the Only Thing They Value
These people are interested only in themselves. They are in love with themselves, and they are the only thing they appreciate.
8. They Are Irresponsible
No matter what these people do, they never accept the blame. In fact, they never take responsibility for their own deeds.
You should know that it does not mean that a person should possess all of the above-mentioned traits to be a psychopath. People only need one or two of them, and that may indicate they are psychopaths.
Knowing how to spot a psychopath may help you stay away from them.
Bad Shower Habits For Your Health
A shower is so much more than just a way to clean ourselves. A shower is a morning wake up call, a natural stress relief, an aroma therapy, a bed time story…
However, the skin is the biggest organ in our body. And skin is directly affected by the shower. And through skin many other things can directly affect other organs and metabolitical processes.
Here are some things to think about the next time you take a shower.
Take contrasted showers – once you’re done with the whole shower process, turn on the shower to its fullest. This way, the full shower pressure will directly influence your body pressure, making it even out.
Bathing every single day
The skin creates a surface layer needed for our body to protest itself from outer bacteria and other influences, such as the UV rays. Washing off that layer on a daily bases with all the chemical ingredients, just to smell good, is not such a good idea. We’re not suggesting not to shower every day – just make sure you don’t rub yourself on a daily bases and rinse off with just pure water without any shower gels.
Shower after workout
It’s a natural demand from your body! You want to wash off that smell and sticky sweat, and release the tension from the muscles after a workout. However, don’t cool the body after a workout, taking long walks home, dinner or similar. Make sure to take a shower as soon as possible after the workout, even at the gym if they have one.
Regularly clean the head of the shower
Bacteria and desalination are typical for shower surfaces. Make sure you clean your shower and the shower head at least twice a week.
Never wrap a towel around your hair after showering
Though this is something you see in magazines and TV, it’s not a healthy habit. Wet hair tends to fall off more and the natural oil the scalp produces are scrubbed off with the towel, making your hair look dry and with no volume.
Don’t leave the razor in the shower
We all shave off some hair which is not supposed to be there while showering. However, always take the razor out of the shower because moist makes the iron of the razor to corrode way faster than usual.
The soap dish always has to be dry
Never forget to close the soap right after finishing it, and take out the extra fluids the soap made from time to time. Extra moist is always a perfect place for bacteria and fungus to develop, and you definitely don’t want them in your clean shower place.
Clean the bathtub
If you still have a bathtub instead of a shower, it demands more work for cleaning it. The material the bathtub is made from tends to get bacteria and dirt way more than the tiles in the shower. Always make sure you scrub the bathtub at least twice a week with a scrubbing brush.
Don’t leave the sponge wet
Like we said, wet grounds are suitable for fungus and bacteria to develop, and you definitely don’t want that on your sponge, the thing you want to wash off bacteria and dirt from your body with instead of just applying more of them on yourself, right?
Always wash and scrub your feet thoroughly
Yes, you’re very tired after the long day or the exhausting workout, and extra bending down is sometimes the last thing on your mind. But don’t forget that the feet and the places between your fingers are the things that collected most of the bacteria through the day. The point of the shower is getting yourself clean, not just smelling good, right?
9 Common Underwear Mistakes Women Make, And How to Avoid Them
Buying underwear and finding the right bra takes time. And you’re always in that dilemma between comfort and pretty. What should you decide when buying underwear?
Here are the most common mistakes every woman does when she is buying underwear, whether it is panties or bras.
1. Underwear that suits the shape of your body
Let’s be honest, you’ve already realized which type of underwear is just not right for you, and though you want to wear it – it’s better not to. Why make something beautiful – no so beautiful? A pear body shape should wear lace shorts, while curved women should wear high-rise underwear.
2. Fabric of the underwear
Never wear lacy underwear with tight cotton or lycra materials. Also, never wear them with silk as well. it will create a creating roughness and destroy the smooth and elegant look you’re aiming for.
3. The bra size
The myth that wearing a smaller bra to make your cleavage look fuller, is such a silly thing. First of all, you show that you’re wearing something too small for you and second – the tightness decreases your blood flow, that might make discomforts and itchiness in your back and under your breasts. If you want fuller looking breasts – invest into a push up!
4. Shapewear
The same advice for buying the fitting shapewear goes here. Never buy shapewear that’s too tight, because you will look silly and extra skin would show off, especially when you sit down, not to talk about the discomfort you will feel during the day and the unhealthy effect tight materials have for your body and health, such as bad posture, itchiness and decreased blood flow.
5. The color of your underwear
Should always match the color of the blouse, skirt or pants you’re wearing. Unless you want to create an effect with wearing a red bra under a visible black crochet blouse… however, for everyday occasions, just stick with this advice.
6. Around the house
Don’t wear the same bra as you do outside. Furthermore, don’t wear a bra at all! If you feel like you’re naked just wearing a blouse or a shirt, wear a sports bra instead and relieve the pain around your breasts and your back.
7. The material of your underwear
Should always contain at least 20% of elastin. The 100% cotton materials are the healthiest and nicest to wear, but last shorter due to the lack of elastin. These clothes tear up apart pretty faster.
8. Matching bra and panties
You might consider this a “special occasions rule”, but, always tend to wear matching underwear, because from other perspective, you will always have the same color of underwear for putting in the washing machine! Otherwise, you would just wait for more dark or more white clothes to pile up…Your everyday underwear – should be the so called “sleep panties”. Never wear too much silk or lace materials, for they are bad for the skin, and also feel more uncomfortable.
9. Favorite panties
Though it is proven that the most desirable panties for men, and also, for women are thongs, don’t wear them on a daily bases, because they can be bad for the vagin*l flora.
Entire Life You’re Sleeping On The Wrong Position!
You’re probably sleeping wrong, because a scientific study showed the perfect sleep position for optimal rest. And when you consider that you’re spending one third of the day sleeping, this might not be so good for your lifespan and overall body health…
Sleep deprivation and insomnia are already proven to be related to stress, heart attacks or nerve racks. So you better read this and prevent all this and so much more.
How to know if you’re sleeping in the wrong position? Well, first of all
- You don’t feel rested in the morning,
- You wake up every hour,
- You feel chronic pain in the neck, the chest or somewhere else in your body,
- You wake up with a headache,
- You feel stiffed,
- Your partner tells you that you were snoring like crazy.
These are all signs that the position of sleeping is not suitable for you and your good night’s rest.
Here are some tips how NOT to sleep and how to IMPROVE your sleeping position:
Sleeping on the stomach
- Don’t sleep on your stomach if you sleep on a high and firm pillow, because this will cause neck and back pain for sure, and on longer stages, it might even cause scoliosis
- Try sleeping without a pillow for your head, or use many little, soft pillows to support your arms, belly, back while sleeping on the stomach
- Try the “U shape” pillows, specially designed for pregnant women
Sleeping on the back
- Don’t use a firm or high pillow to sleep on your back either, because you will feel the same pain in the neck and the spine and lower back. Using a hard and high pillow is actually never a good idea
- Use a pillow to put it below your feet or knees for a better spine support and reducing the possible snoring this position contributes to
Sleeping on the side
- Use a pillow to put between your knees to prevent you lower back making an “s shape” while sleeping and thus, feeling a lower back pain in the morning
- Hugging a pillow might also help the neck and jaw pain most side sleepers feel in the morning
- Always sleep on the side if you feel heartburn or increased acid in your gut, also, if you’re a heavy snorer, make sleeping on the side an everyday habit
Follow these advices and always check what’s wrong with you at the moment. If you snore, sleep on the side, if you have acid reflux, switch sides, if you have back pain, put an additional support pillow between your knees.
It seems that sleeping on the side is the best suitable position for any kind of pain and struggles – you just have to guess the right pillow to sleep on!
Look Fantastic Without Makeup
Applying makeup on a daily basis can be really fulfilling, but it can also get pretty exhausting sometimes – and especially time-consuming, especially for the people who don’t have that much time on their hands.
However, nobody said that getting a more natural look is off-limits or unfashionable or anything along those lines, so why not just do some procedures that are gonna take you less time in the long run, but you will still look amazing, like when you put makeup on.
Use silk pillowcases for your sleep time
You can absolutely improve your appearance while you sleep. Instead of making your skin rub on the hard pillowcases that you have that are made out of some harsh material, just invest in a pillowcase made out of silk and you will help your skin out in the long run. It will look better than with foundation on it.
Use salicylic acid.
Dead cells can cause congestion by clogging your pores, as well as redness and blemishes. Salicylic acid is going to be your solution to exfoliate them and promote cell turnover, which means it will leave you with clean skin and a firm complexion.
Give your face a massage
Whether you go to a specialist and get a professional massage, or you find a way to do it yourself, just know that facial massages are going to help improve the elasticity of your face in the long run better than most creams that you’re using right now and hoping for the best.
Shape your eyebrows
Nicely shaped eyebrows are one of the most crucial things for a nice and neat look – no makeup needed whatsoever. Just fix your eyebrows and enjoy the new freshness your face gets.
Apply castor oil to your eyelashes
Castor oil will make your eyelashes look more shiny and it will create the illusion of making them longer, without actually applying mascara that can damage your eyelashes in the long run.
Use serums for a nutrient boost
Your body is not the only one that needs a nutrient boost – your skin needs one too. Give your skin the opportunity to take in some of those juicy nutrients that it’s not getting enough from your body and you will see the improvement within a month.
Drink lemon water
Lemons will purify your body and your skin. Your skin will start to glow and you will feel more energetic. At least way more than you used to and that’s a difference you’ll be able to tell within just a week.
All the toxins are gonna go away through your urine.
Use sunscreen (even when it’s cold outside)
We are all aware of the damaging effects the sun has on our bodies – so if it’s bright outside – even if it’s cloudy, the sun is there, peeking and waiting for you to go out without some SPF. And the damage that the sun can do to your skin is irreparable.
So make sure you put some sunscreen on, even when it’s a cloudy day.
Get your blood circulating
Exercising is one of the greatest way to keep your body in shape and your energy on the desirable level. You can perform even simple exercises like jogging or even fast walking to gain the results. Just make sure you’re always doing some exercises, no matter what.
Put effort into your style
And last, but not least, if you wanna look great without makeup, just rock some amazing outfit and voila. It’s like all the people are just gonna see the change and compliment the change and no one will even realize you’re not wearing any makeup on – so, for the better.

6 Signs That Your Liver Is Full Of Toxins
The largest solid organ in the body is the liver and its main function is to transform toxins into waste, and then, the body removes them through urine and feces. This is one of the most important functions of our body due to the true fact that today and nowadays we are constantly and each and every day surrounded by pollutants and toxins.
Very unfortunately, our livers can become very overwhelmed and therefore not capable to remove, which is, to get rid of the waste, that can consequently lead to storage in fat cells, most often in the area of our belly.
The is naturally an organ that contains fat so therefore there shall be some fat in it at all times, but when the case is that the fat is more than 5 to 10 percent of the total weight of the organ, it results to a fatty liver.
Two types of fatty livers diseases exist: Non-alcoholic fatty livers disease and alcoholic livers disease. The alcoholic livers disease appears as a result of excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks, and the non-alcoholic fatty livers disease is a result of some non-alcoholic factors such as high cholesterol, large consumption of processed and fast foods, genetics or chemical influences.
The symptoms that can indicate a livers in need of detoxification are as below:
Unexplained weight gain
If the liver is not 100% working on removing toxins from the body, regular workout and reducing calories won’t be of much help because of the true fact that the body stores the unfiltered toxins in its fat cells. Furthermore, due to the fact that the responsibility of the livers is to metabolize fat, when it doesn’t function properly, the fat circulates from the gut, through the bile and back to the organ.
Allerigies
If the liver functions properly, it produces antibodies that fight allergens, so if its work is reduced, the allergens are stored into the body. As a response to this, the brain produces histamine which is a chemical that marks the allergens that shall be eliminated, and in high levels leads to allergy symptoms such as itchiness, fogginess and headaches.
Chronic fatigue
One of the first and obvious signs of liver damage is feeling weak and tired constantly. When the liver is in poor condition, the body has to work harder and the body will need more rest. This happens due to an increase in toxins in the bloodstream that can not be cleared out due to the fact that the liver can’t get rid of the toxins in a proper manner. If the symptoms are persistent, especially with other early signs of liver damage, please seek medical advice as soon as possible.
Excessive sweating
When the liver is overworked, its functioning decreases and the liver warms up. Due to this, as it is a big organ, it transports the heat to the rest of the body parts and gets a try to cool itself by excessive sweating.
Acne
The toxic buildup in the liver most often leads to hormonal imbalance which causes acne. If the acne is a cause of reduced liver function it can’t be treated externally.
Bad breath
If your hygiene and oral health are in a good shape, but you still suffer from a bad breath, you might have a liver problem. Please contact a physician in order to be certain.
