Children

I was corresponding back and forth in the comments section of the Elizabeth Edwards post about selfishness, having children, not having children, going to enormous effort to have them. You could call me selfish for not having children. I was always afraid they'd have asthma, I was afraid I'd run out on them in a panic, that I would be selfish and not want to pay attention to them. I realized that I think strangers who've tried very hard (hormones, in vitro, etc.) are spoiled, but when my friends and family have taken this route, I'm very sympathetic. What does this mean except that I'm judgmental? Or maybe that I'm envious of celebrities who have been able to stop the clock, the way they've been successful in doing so much else. Both Wendy Wasserstein and Elizabeth Edwards had children late and both died of cancer. Connection? I don't know. I do know that both ovarian and breast cancer have been known as "the nun's disease." My sister has three children and has never had even a cancer scare. I don't have the BRCA gene, and I would bet neither does she. My mother has never had breast or ovarian cancer. She had two children and no more. Is there a part of me that wishes that I could have gone through all the body mechanics to have a child late in life? The truth is that I like options. I always want to feel that I could take up anything, marathon-running, or art or a new language, with my middle-aged chemo-addled brain and body. And you can always find role models. Take Grandma Moses, for example. I've always wanted to experience pregnancy and childbirth. When I come across an ad for a surrogate, I read it, and it takes me a second or two to realize that yes, though I am healthy (if you ignore the breast and blood cancer and asthma), I am not 35 years old any more.

WASPADA TERHADAP TIPUAN PHISING BAGI NASABAH BANK

Berhubung isi artikel ini cukup penting maka penulis ulang informasi yang didapatkan ini karena bermanfaat bagi netter ataupun para nasabah Bank. Waspada terhadap tipuan phising bagi nasabah bank perlu kita ketahui bersama karena telah muncul modus baru dalam metode phising yang para hacker kriminal lakukan. Dari referensi yang penulis dapat detikinet.com ada 4 kiat untuk menangkalnya.


Aksi phising ini merupakan upaya pencurian informasi sensitif yang mengincar para nasabah bank. Dibawah ini adalah 4 kiat yang bisa dijadikan pegangan nasabah agar tak terperdaya dengan aksi tipuan.

1. Cek Asal Usul Email

Modus yang biasa dilancarkan penjahat cyber adalah dengan mengirimkan email pancingan ke sejumlah orang. Isi surat elektronik tersebut biasanya meminta si calon korban untuk mengunjungi situs tertentu, untuk kemudian melakukan registrasi ulang (memasukkan username dan password e-banking nasabah).

Jangan lantas percaya jika mendapat email dengan model seperti ini. Cek dulu asal-usul si pengirim email, apakah menggunakan domain email resmi dari suatu bank tertentu atau tidak.

Sebab, jika mereka memakai domain email tak jelas, sudah tak usah dipercaya email tersebut. Meskipun di akhir email mereka mengaku-ngaku dari bank yang bersangkutan.

2. Tak Cukup Lewat Email

Melakukan registrasi ulang dengan memasukkan username dan password merupakan aktivitas yang sensitif. Jadi, penyampaian informasi terkait aktivitas ini juga tak bisa sembarangan, cuma lewat email.

Sejumlah bank mengaku jika menginginkan para nasabahnya melakukan registrasi ulang, mereka biasanya tak cuma memberi kabar lewat email. Namun juga melalui sarana yang lebih personal, yakni dihubungi secara langsung. Ada juga yang menggunakan surat resmi, meski dipadu-padankan dengan email pula. Setidaknya, pihak bank memperlakukan aktivitas ini dengan lebih profesional.

3. Telepon Balik

Jangan ragu untuk menelpon customer service bank yang Anda gunakan. Lebih baik waspada, ketimbang ragu-ragu namun malah berujung hal buruk bagi Anda.

4. Membedakan Situs Asli atau Palsu

Situs lembaga keuangan yang digunakan untuk login biasanya memiliki sistem keamanan yang lebih ketat. Pertama, lihat alamat situsnya. Situs login harusnya menggunakan awalan 'https' bukan 'http'. Https merupakan merupakan versi aman dari http.

Akhiran 's' pada 'http' tersebut menandakan bahwa situs tersebut benar-benar telah 'secure', karena dilindungi oleh teknologi enkripsi data berupa Verisign SSL.

bank permata palsu

 Di situs e-banking Bank Permata yang aspal, tercantum pula logo 'Verisign Security Site'. Bagi orang awam, tentu sulit membedakannya. Yang dapat menjadi salah patokan kesahihan sebuah situs e-banking yaitu URL yang tertulis adalah 'https'.

Kemudian di bagian kanan bawah browser (untuk Firefox) ada gambar gembok yang terkunci. Sementara untuk Internet Explorer (IE), gembok warna kuning ini ada di isian URL.

Demikianlah kurang lebih kiat singkat yang bisa membantu rekan-rekan dan pembaca dalam menangkal aktivitas phising yang mengancam. Meski terkesan simple namun dampak yang akan diberikan oleh ketidakwaspadaan ini akan berakibat fatal.

Jika korban tanpa sadar mengisi username dan password pada situs aspal tersebut, maka dapat dipastikan bahwa data-data personal tersebut, termasuk catatan aktifitas e-banking-nya, akan dapat diketahui oleh pihak lain yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Selanjutnya rekening anda bakalan dibobol. Berhati-hatilah.

KELEBIHAN WINDOWS 7 DARI XP DAN VISTA

Artikel ini sebenarnya udah rada-rada ketinggalan jaman nih.. orang lain udah pada pindah windows 7 lah penulis baru nyoba pindah. berhubung penulis masih demen sama xp sp3 yang relatif anteng-anteng aja. Menurut Om Microsoft sih Windows 7 ini memiliki Kelebihan atau istilahnya penyempurnaan system. Kelebihan Windows 7 dari XP dan Vista bisa dikaji dalam uraian di bawah ini. 


Berdasarkan referensi dari Microsoft dan techno.oke zone bisa disimpulkan 11 fitur keunggulan Windows 7, yaitu :


Windows Taskbar yang Diperbaharui

Taskbar pada Windows 7 memudahkan kendali dan membantu untuk mengakses program dan file yang dibutuhkan secara lebih cepat. Setiap Windows yang ada di taskbar dapat dilihat secara penuh apabila mouse diarahkan ke windows tersebut. Dengan ukuran ikon yang lebih besar membuatnya mudah di-klik dengan windows ataupun dengan fitur multi-touch Windows 7. Program dan file yang sering digunakan dapat mudah ditempatkan di taskbar untuk pengaksesan lebih cepat.

Jump List

Jump list disetiap program pada menu start dan windows taskbar mempermudah dalam mencari sesuatu. Secara otomatis disusun berdasarkan yang paling baru dan sering dibuka sehingga lebih sedikit waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencari lagu favorit, atau file yang baru dikerjakan.

Snap, Shake, Peek

Program dan file yang sering digunakan dapat diakses dengan mudah tanpa desktop menjadi berantakan. Dengan adanya peek, arahkan muse ke kanan bawah taskbar dan semua windows yang terbuka ke arah yang lebuh jauh untuk mengukur ulang (re-size) windows tersebut, sehingga dua windows dapat terbuka pada sisi kana dan kiri secara bersamaan, untuk melakukan perbandingan.

Dengan shake, klik satu windows dan goyangkan mouse untu minimize windows lauin yang sedang terbuka.

Windows Touch

Fitur layar sentuh telah dimasukan ke dalam Windows 7 dan tersedia pada PC dengan layar sentuh. Dengan fitur layar sentuh, gambar dapat diperbesar dengan menempatkan kedua tangan. Browsing Interner Explorer 8 juga akan semakin mudah denga  fitur ini.

Home Group

Home Group di Windows 7 membuat berbagi file diantar PC da n device di rumah menjadi lebih mudah. Melalui Home Group, PC dengan IWndows 7 dapat secara otomatis mengidntifikasikan dan tersambung dengan yang lannya.

Fastern on, Fastern off

Pengguna Windows 7 akan memperoleh manfaat dari peningkatan kinerja waktu memulai (start-up), resume dan menutup matikan (shut dows) PC yang lebih cepat dan peningkatan power management.

Windows Live Essentials

Komunika dan berbagai layanan merupakan salah satu hal yang penting. Di Windows 7, fitur yang ada di versi Windows sebelumnya akan disediakan secara cuma-cuma melalui program Windows Live Essentials. Pengguna dapat mengakses data offline dan melakukan berbagai hal untuk foto, video dan hal lainnya.

Internet Explorer 8

Berselancar di dunia maya dengan IE 8 semakin matap dengan menyesuaikan keperluan penggunaanya melalu peningkatan di kecepatan, dan smart screen filte, yang membabtu PC tetap aman dengan memberitahu situs yang memiliki potensi bahaya.

Windows Search

Fitur ini dapat mengidentifikasikan lokasi dan membuka file apapun pada PC dari menu start dengan hanya mengetik satu atau dua kalimat.

Web Slices

Fitur ini merupakan yang terbaru di Windows 7 dimana pengguna dapat memotong bagian yang ditargetkan dari sebuah situs yang kemudian ditempatkan di toolbar Internet Explorer 8 untuk referensi yang mudah dan cepat.

Parental Control

Membantu mengatur waktu yang spesifik dan menentukan program, situs serta game yang diperbolehkan untuk diakses anak-anak.

ANTARA HOBBY DAN BISNIS

Banyak rekan-rekan yang memilih bekerja sebagai satu-satunya mata pencaharian tapi banyak pula yang memilih berdikari total di jalur bisnis. Sebenarnya mana sih yang lebih baik diantara keduanya? Fokus pada pekerjaan atau Total pada Bisnis. Masalah lainnya adalah apa hubungannya Hobby dengan Bisnis. Sharing tulisan singkat ini mungkin bisa sedikit membuka hubungan antara hobby dan bisnis. Sedikit banyak artikel ini saya harap bisa sedikit bermanfaat bagi rekan-rekan yang berkunjung ke blog ini.


Pada umumnya bekerja pada suatu perusahaan maupun instansi merupakan prioritas utama bagi mereka yang mencari nafkah untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari. Kepastian penghasilan per bulan merupakan suatu hal yang menjadi daya tarik sang pekerja. Hal ini jelas berbeda dengan Bisnis atau mereka yang berwiraswasta, penghasilan sering mengalami fluktuasi naik dan turun.

Ada beberapa pemikiran yang penulis dapatkan dari pemikiran rekan-rekan di dunia offline yang dapat disimpulkan secara garis besar, yaitu :

• Fokus bekerja bila mereka bekerja sebagai PNS di suatu Instansi pemerintahan, mereka merasa terjamin dengan gaji yang relatif besar dan jaminan jangka panjangnya (pensiunan dll)
• Bekerja pada perusahaan swasta dan memiliki side job atau bisnis sampingan, hal ini didasari bahwa dewasa ini tidak ada jaminan bahwa bekerja di swasta dapat langgeng. Pilihan ini dibuat bila pekerja selalu dalam status pekerja kontrak dan kurangnya Jaminan atau tunjangan dari perusahaan (misal Jamsostek, asuransi dll). Sidejob disinis bersifat tambahan penghasilan dan cadangan penghasilan bila sewaktu-waktu kena PHK perusahaan
• Total berwirausaha alias bisnis karena tidak ingin terikat pada perusahaan dan motivasi ingin mandiri. Hal ini dipicu latar belakang yang berbeda dan lebih didorong oleh kebutuhan hidup ataupun mengembangkan potensi pribadi.
• Mengembangkan Hobby menjadi suatu bisnis yang menjanjikan, hal ini seringkali adalah cikal bakal suatu usaha yang menjadi sukses.

Dari ringkasan pernyataan diatas point Hubungan antara Hobby dan bisnis menarik perhatian penulis untuk sedikit mengupasnya. Bisnis is bisnis .. hobby is hobby.. awalnya banyak orang berpikir demikian, malah bisnis terkadang cuma ngabisin duit aja. Tapi ternyata bila dikembangkan Hobby bisa menghasilkan juga, bisa jadi duit. why not?.. asyik kan punya hobby yang bisa jadi duit..
Misalnya yang suka nge-net kenapa ga sekalian aja bikin warnet seperti dalam artikel strategi bisnis warnet atau yang hobby nge-game dalam Bisnis online poker zynga. Selain itu hobby lain seperti kolektor mainan ataupun Action Figure bisa menjadi bisnis yang menjanjikan seperti halnya Aldo dalam artikel Museum mainan anak era 80 dan banyak contoh-contoh lainnya yang tidak mungkin dituliskan satu persatu.

Intinya selain bakat hal terpenting dari suatu bisnis adalah Minat. Dan hal yang paling membangkitkan minat adalah Hobby.. Jadi kenapa tidak kita gali hobby kita untuk menjadi suatu usaha yang menjanjikan?
Selain itu suatu hobby jelas tidak akan membosankan bagi pelakunya bukan? suatu hobby jika dikelola dengan baik akan menjadi sumber pendapatan yang bukan hanya memberkan penghasilan tapi juga kepuasan.

Bagi rekan dan sahabat yang tertarik untuk bisnis dan berwirausaha mari kita gali hobby yang kita miliki untuk menjadi sumber pendapatan baru. semoga tulisan sederhana ini bisa bermanfaat bagi rekan dan sahabat yang kebetulan membacanya. Salam.. :)

Happy Birthday!!

Hey guys, I am really glad to announce to your that today is the first birthday of my blog. Yay!!!! I can't believe how fast this whole year went away. I remember the night last year when I decided I would start blogging. At that time, I was so afraid what if no one comes and reads. Then, I overcame it all and went ahead with my posts. I loved writing and love it now too. And, this blog has been my passion for the last year. I am happy that you all came to my blog and read my posts, liked them and stayed with me for a complete year. 

Unfortunately, I am caught with my own things so I would not be able to post regularly (I know it seems like too recurring problem) but I promise to make up for these missing days by coming with a bang (hopefully !!). I might not be able to see you all till next year so wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year :)

Lastly, I want to thank you all for bearing with me and hope you would do the same in future :) Would love to read more of your comments and queries. Do tell me if you want to read about certain topics. I'll make sure I post about them. I know I promised some to post on certain of their topics but I am really sorry to have failed. They are on the top of list when I come back so please keep up with me. And, send me more of your love and do not forget to sing the birthday song with me :)

P.S: As a part of the celebration, do tell me which post do you like the most in my blog. I would sincerely appreciate your effort. Thanks and I am waiting for your comments.

Band Baaja Baraat {Movie Review}

Ohk, so you might really end up hating me for doing this but I went to watch this movie today. And, wanted to share my experience with you. So, yes, from now on, I would be posting movie reviews too(whichever I see!!). There is just one reason behind this. Some of the really good movies go unnoticed and many movies have false reviews online so I thought I might give my opinion. Before beginning, I can add that I love romance and light-hearted movies. But, then, I would definitely update with all movies I have seen and would see. So, hope you enjoy it!!

So, talking about 'Band Baaja Baraat', it is actually a nice movie. I do not have a proper word to describe so I would get down to the basics. The lead pair looks adorable and made for each other. The guy acts amazingly and dances well. Anushka is cute in the movie. I find both lead pairs expressions amazing. And, if you do not like "Ainvayi Ainvayi" already, you would end up liking it by the end of the movie. The beats in the movie are awesome and sure to rock the marriages of the year. I loved the "Dum Dum" song too. First half is hilariously entertaining and barring some 30 minutes in second half, the movie goes well. Those 30 minutes make you feel the inadequacy of proper editing but then the climax covers it all. The Punjabi accent is obvious and that makes the movie even more realistic. A refreshing pair and story is what I would call the plus point of the movie. The guy is a must watch in the movie. If you find he is not that great-looking, you would end up liking his adorable character on the screen by the end of the movie. Best part of the whole thing is that you have no better movie to watch this week so go ahead and watch this movie. And, no I am not going to rate the movie on a scale of five.

Skin Cancer due to Genital Warts

I have posted about warts long back but then I only thought that it is due to viral infection but did not think it was a deadly thing. But, I was just going through this article which mentions that the cause of skin cancer is supposed to be only sun exposure but genital warts are even more deadly then I had to write this post without delay. Most women die of genital skin cancer. The virus, human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes warts can also cause skin cancer. And, not only skin cancer but also cervical and anal cancers. Worse of all, your immediate family members are also at risk because the problem is contagious. So, in case you have genital warts and have not yet gone to a doctor, please do so and get your skin checked by them to ensure that you do not have any symptoms of skin cancer.

Please read the source article here.

Do you feel too oily after applying sunscreen?

Well, I hate applying sunscreen because it makes my skin feel like a frying pan even though I have normal to dry skin. None of the sunscreens suit me and I am always in search of new ones. These days I have shifted to Biotique sunscreens and lets see what I have to tell you about them. Now, every day after my bath, I apply a moisturizer (no particular brand) then follow up with sunscreen after 5-10 minutes. So, the fresh feeling which comes to my skin after having my bath vanishes the moment I slather on anything on it and my skin turns dark on its own accord. Ok, I want to say that this does not mean that I apply loads of product. I use very little product but still it happens. So, today, similar kind of thing happened and I was not in a hurry so I took time out to try out a simple trick to curb the oiliness. 

I used tissue paper to blot out the oiliness. Spread the whole tissue paper on your face and press gently but firmly. If the skin is too greasy, tissue paper would stick to it. So, keep on blotting till the stickiness in your skin disappears. Do not forget to blot your neck and chest areas too. And, the result was a soft skin with a glow on the face. My face was no more sticky and greasy. If you also suffer from the peculiar problem of skin darkening after applying anything on skin, that would disappear after this step.While choosing tissue papers, go for paper ones instead of mixed ones or cloth ones. Probably a toilet paper would be even better for this job but I have no idea. The best would definitely be blotting papers if you find them. And, finally, if you want, you can do a little touch up with a compact and face spray or mist. 

One more thing I want to add is that do the blotting of your skin every time you find your face becomes greasy. It will also help you remove the dirt and extra product from your face which would otherwise be blocking your pores. And, it also helps you look fresh and dewy all the time. So, make tissue papers a part of your essentials-on-the-go. You might even be wondering why I did not opt for refreshing wipes. Frankly, I do not like them. They leave a film on my face which I absolutely loathe and then it becomes drying for my skin. If it suits your skin, you might want to go ahead with them but then contain a lot of alcohol (most of the times) and preservatives which I prefer to avoid. Hope this helps you as well as it did help me :)

Sunscreen is breaking you out?

This is some tip I read some where regarding the usage of sunscreen. Use a Zinc Oxide based sunscreen if your sunscreen is breaking you out. 

Zinc Oxide is a great sunscreen agent and even a stronger antiseptic and inflammatory agent which helps the comedogenic (prone to blocked pores) skin. The best part is that zinc oxide based sunscreen is more effective and less harmful as compared to chemical sunscreens available in the market. For more information on physical and chemical sunscreen, please refer to this post.

Do not rub your Eyes

I have already done two posts on bad habits which lead to aging of our skin early. I felt I was kinda doing something silly but since I have started getting comments from you all, I feel these posts are not silly instead they do encourage everyone including me to change bad habits and give information to those who are not aware of the facts yet. So, thank you guys and keep the comments coming. And, now moving on today's bad habit which is prevalent among children generally and then gets carried on to adulthood.

Habit: Rubbing the eyes vigorously to subside irritation.

Results: Wrinkled skin and fine lines around the eyes. The reason for this is that the skin around the eyes is almost 10 times thinner than that of the face. So, consequently, it is much more sensitive to various products and various kinds of movements. Another consequence can also be drooping and wrinkling of the eyelids.

If you have read about the surgery of Botox, a neurotoxic protein by the name of botulinum toxin is injected in the forehead. This toxin paralyzes the muscles temporarily so that there is no movement in the muscles near the eyes or where ever it is injected by blocking the nerve impulses. When there is no movement in the muscles, there is no chance of formation of wrinkles and slowly the existing wrinkles also smooth out because of the lack of repeated movements. The effect of the toxin lasts up to 8 months and one has to take the injections regularly to keep up the effect.

So, even the surgery is doing the same thing. Blocking the movement of the muscles so that there is no repeated movement. This is exactly what I meant when I was writing my earlier post on facial expressions and even this post. But, I am not advocating Botox here because let me also tell you the down side of this procedure. Your face freezes and does not show any emotion which is not what you basically want. Just for the record, women who under go Botox surgeries have higher divorce rates as compared to women who do not. So, you can easily imagine how much trying to stay young costs a person. And, frankly, there is nothing wrong if some of your lines are visible. That makes you look real at least.

Remedy: Apply eye gels or under eye creams to smooth the wrinkles and fine lines. (This is not what I do personally) Apply almond oil or vitamin E oil at night on the skin around the eyes. In the morning, you would find that the eye area is smooth and soft. In some days, you will see lessening of the wrinkles and fine lines too but for that you need to be persistent in your efforts. A home remedy which I would like to suggest is a honey mask for your eyes. Apply a little amount of honey on your eye area (under eye, around the eye and eye lids) every day for 15 minutes and then remove with a cotton pad gently. Honey prevents wrinkles.

How to get rid of the habit?

Of course, stop rubbing the eyes. Stop your children from developing that habit too. It irritates the eye foremost even if you forget the wrinkles. Next step is if you feel irritation and have a strong desire to rub the eyes, close your eyes and gently massage them or splash cold water in them. Either would help reducing the irritation.

Elizabeth Edwards

What to say about Elizabeth Edwards? She tried to help others with cancer, and to raise funds for research. While her husband was running as John Kerry's running mate in 2004, she though she might have cancer, but didn't tell her husband John. She was diagnosed after the election, with stage 3. In 2007, it became stage 4, which means it appeared in other parts of her body, specifically, in her bones.
She died today at home, surrounded by family, including her ex-husband.
When she announced that her cancer had metastasized, I was annoyed with her for not speaking out about links between manmade chemicals and cancer. In fact, I wrote that I hated her. I conceded that I might have displaced my feelings about cancer itself onto her. I do wish she hadn't died and that she'd caught the tumor earlier. She reminds us that cancer is a serious, deadly disease. And that people find inspiration in those who try to do something about it.

Facial Expressions can make you look old

Yup, this might be a habit of yours as is mine :) I always give a million dollar smile and consequently, I have laugh lines and fine lines under the eyes. I do not frown too often but yes it happens that we screw our faces without realizing which can again cause a lot of lines on the face.

Habit: Constant facial expressions should be avoided.

Result: Laugh lines, fine lines under the eyes, forehead lines. A lot of lines on the face can develop if this is a regular habit of a person. Many people have forehead lines which develop when you screw your forehead and then there are vertical lines between the eyebrows too. Fine lines under the eyes are really common in people because of excess exposure to sun and also because the skin around eyes is a very thin layer. Crows feet and other wrinkles around eyes develop if you close the eyes too hard. Laugh lines are formed right from edges of your nose to the corners of your mouth and can travel down to the edge of the jaw. Many people have lines on their chin too. These are all due to the regular movements in the face muscles and if it becomes a regular habit, these lines develop very quickly just like lines in our palms. 

At this point, I also want to share something which we are told when we are children. Now, everyone knows that children make a lot of weird faces meant to tease you. So, they will smirk and scorn and turn their mouths to one side or another or stick their tongues out or pull the lips to one side of the cheeks. I have done those things and even you might have. (I really hope I am making sense. Please do tell me so if I am not) So, we are often told or even children say that your face will become like what you make it. In a sense this is exactly true. Our usual facial expressions make a mark on our faces. So, one should be very cautious about the facial expressions. They represent your character. 

Remedy: Well, wrinkles once formed are very hard to get rid of. Even then we can give them a try and things might work out temporarily. First thing is to apply sunscreen regularly so that sun exposure is not damaging the face. Second is to stop squinting and frowning too hard or laughing too hard every time. Screwing the face is not an option so keep your face pleasant looking under all circumstances. I know this is very hard but once you control it, it becomes very easy. Working people might be able to better share their experiences in this regard (you have to appear neutral in the office and not show what you are thinking). Then, obvious is wrinkle lifting creams which basically never work (you are fore-warned). And, you should try these home remedies to get rid of wrinkles. Apply a thick coat of almond oil or castor oil at night on your face and sleep. 

How to get rid of this habit?

I have certainly stopped laughing too hard every time and controlled my smile extent (seems stupid but true!!). Now, when I laugh or smile, my eyes do not get all wrinkles up. Then, I used to squint a lot in the sun coz I have specs and cannot wear sunglasses :( A big problem for people with glasses (I find contacts too tiresome!!). So, controlled my squinting too by being conscious of it. I do not frown but when I concentrate I do screw my forehead so have to take care of that too. And, whenever I close my eyes, I gently close them instead of squeezing them hard as is generally asked in facial exercises. So, remember this if you do facial exercises, do not squeeze any muscle in your face, gently do the exercises so that wrinkles smooth out instead of developing more.

I wish to add that most of our habits can be changed by constant observation and control of the habit so it is a good thing to be conscious of what your children are doing and then teach them accordingly what is right so that they do not need to change their habits tomorrow.

Update: I wish to add that neither this post is saying you to stop laughing nor am I encouraging you to become sad and morose. The only thing which I have tried to convey is that keep your face relaxed instead of in a particular expression. And, of course, smile all the time. It makes you look beautiful :)

Stop cracking your Knuckles

Well, I thought it would be a good idea to do a series of posts on habits which are unconsciously done but they effect out body and skin or even hair in harmful ways.

Habit: The first which comes to my mind is cracking the knuckles. Well, it is true and I have this very terrible habit. I have tried to stop so many times but I do it unconsciously whenever I'm nervous or brooding.

Result: The result is an extremely wrinkled hand which looks at least 10 years older to your present age.

Remedy: If you are already suffering from the wrinkled hands, a very good option is to massage your hands with coconut or almond oil at night for five minutes regularly. And, keep your hand moisturized all day long with use of either the hand creams or body lotions or my personal favorite, body oils.And, of course, avoid the habit.

How to get rid of this habit?
I am pretty sure it is in heads of many of you but this is something which I would not be able to answer because I have been trying to get rid of this habit since quite some years but I have not yet succeeded. Even one of my friends has asked me in the comments about how to get rid of this habit. I wish I could help but the only thing I have succeeded in is to be attentive to what I am doing and if I find myself cracking my knuckles, I try to turn my attention to some other work I have. I would definitely appreciate if anyone can suggest some way to get rid of this habit.

When to remove Face Masks and Hair Packs?

Hey guys!! I am really sorry for not being at all particular with the posts. Kinda really busy these days so I'll probably even miss the first birthday of my blog which is on December 14. I can not believe a whole year has passed. I definitely have been very lazy in writing my posts many a days but I have tried to be as regular as possible. In case, I do miss the birthday of my blog, I shall do the festivities along with the Christmas and New Year or may be Pongal even. Gosh!! That will be really late but I am sure you will all forgive me. So, for today, I have a very simple tip to share with you all regarding the face packs and the hair packs. Now, I had shared the correct procedure for applying face masks. So, this is one additional procedure which should be followed stringently. 

Always remove the face masks and hair packs as soon as they are close to drying. When the face masks and hair packs dry completely, they start absorbing water from your skin or hair to compensate the loss of moisture in them due to the reverse osmosis process. And, this becomes very drying for your skin and hair in the long run. So, always remember to wash off as soon as the mask is close to drying. For hair, I have a tip that wash off your mask after an hour. One hour is enough to let your hair get the nutrients from your mask. If you are applying henna, always remove when the mask has dried otherwise you will find that your hair has become dry in nature. This is especially true for dry hair. Whenever you apply a hair mask, always put a shower cap on. This helps to hold the moisture inside. When you keep the hair packs and face masks beyond stipulated period, they can causing aging of your skin and drying of your hair. This holds true with the home remedies too. So, follow this tip and reap the benefits.

The second day of Chanukah

For those of you who are still eating Thanksgiving leftovers, it may come to you as a shock that Chanukah started last night. It's early this year. But as the joke goes (a weak joke), it's the same time every year on the Hebrew calendar, which is lunar, it's always the night of the 24th of Kislev. In some households, family members give eight gifts, one for each night of the holiday.
Wondering what to get your true love, especially if she's cancerous? And if your true love is an Ashkenazi Jew, as are 90 percent of the Jews in the US, she has a greater chance of being breast-cancerous than the non-Ashkenazim. I stole this idea from The Cancer Culture Chronicles. Go there to find other tacky items, listed under Pink Boob Award Nominees. Here is the Natural Contours Petite Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Vibrator. Why do all these pink tchotchkes have long names, like M-&-M'S(R) Brand Milk Chocolate Candies Help Fight Breast Cancer?

A blog, a blog, why a blog?

[Venus with a Mirror by Titian]

I just looked at this blog with my picture on it and thought, What in the world am I doing? Am I still running for junior high student council? (Alas, that was a sad story. My friend A helped me for about eight hours paint a very sophisticated campaign banner on brown paper, consisting of Doonesbury characters speaking favorably about my candidacy. We put it up on the cafeteria wall and then then someone tore it down. Who knows why? I think I ran because K was running and told me I should. I ran again in high school and won. And why did I do that? I had no big desire to change X or Y about the school.)

Last year my acquaintance S said, as I suppose many commentators have, that nowadays everyone is a hero to his own group of friends. We're all famous and important or want to be. Every single thing we do is important, especially the unimportant things, which we record on Facebook and Twitter. Why? Because we don't want to be insignificant. And we can't stand the idea that we're going to die. And be gone gone gone. And because it's so easy to write, I'm cleaning off my desk. I'm waiting in line. I'm inhaling. Exhaling.

On that note, I'm offering more of myself. Today I did a phone interview with KMSU in Mankato, Minnesota. To hear it, click here.

How to combat stress?

Stress is something which you can never avoid in your life. It is a part and parcel of life. The only thing is not to let it get you down. So, how to avoid stress and help deal with situations. I have already discussed some of the best ways to beat stress sometime ago. Today, we will talk about some more ways. Just to recount, stress can cause you to lose your appetite, sleep and smile, hair and even skin can become bad during stress. So, combating stress in a natural way is very important. A long term solution is better than a short term. 

Speaking of short term solutions, a short break, a journey, an outing, an indulgence, going for shopping, eating chocolate are all temporary solutions for stress.So, how to start on a long term solution in our hectic lives.

• Certain changes in your daily life habits go a long way in making you strong enough to deal with situations and keep your mind calm. Changes in attitude is very important.
• Right foods, regular exercise, good sleep and positive thoughts are a way to beat stress.
• Let us get a little psychological here. Accept the situation how so ever bad it is and try to learn something from it. I know that it is not easy. But, that is the only way to deal with the situation. Being in denial does not help anyone. The next step can be how to improve the situation. 
• Many a times we get stressed out without knowing it. We do not know what we want to do. And, that happens to the best of us. So, a little reflection on everything you have done in your life, what you love, what your priorities are is very important. Take time out and think of these things. Most of your solutions are hidden in these questions. 
• If you are too stressed out to do anything, do something which makes you happy. This is where a hobby becomes important in life. Creativity focuses your mind and relieves it. Achieving something bolsters your confidence how so ever meager the work might be.
• Crying is not an answer to any problems. It just increases the frustration and then you need to vent out your feelings. Keep a diary. Writing things which are bothering you helps a lot. If you have someone to talk to, of course, it is just the best but not everyone are so lucky. Many times it is just our fears and weaknesses that prevent us discussing our problems with our loved ones.
• Many people are addicted to emotional eating. You can change this habit or modify this habit by eating stress busting foods.
• A short walk can also calm you down.

Now, I have repeatedly talked about stress busting foods.

• Water: helps you coo down when angry.
• Fruits: Seasonal fruits can help your anxiety and fear levels.
• Milk and Curd: Helps with insomnia due to stress.
• Peanuts: Aids with stress during PMS.
• Cheese: Can help you with stress.
• Coffee and Cocoa (Chocolate): Calms you mind but only temporarily and anyways it is not good for skin so be moderate with it.

A balanced diet is what you need when you are dealing with stress. A lot of fruit juices an also help you. Proper food controls the stress hormones in the body. And, one very tried and tested method for stress is kissing, cuddling and the act of making love. The act is culmination of number of things including a sense of touch, intimacy and physical exertion which produces a stress busting hormone called oxytocin in the body. The production of oxytocin in the body decreases to a large extent when a person is under stress.

Ponds Face Washes

I have used two major products from Ponds till date. One was good and one was bad. So, lets get on with the one which is bad. 

Ponds Flawless White Deep Whitening Facial Foam

The first thing which comes to my mind is this is a very expensive face wash. 175 INR for 100 gms. I bought it impulsively because I liked the packaging extremely. But, it is more of a hate now because the face wash is not getting over even after my using it daily. I have been using it since a really long time and I am bored now. An extremely small quantity is enough to cover the face and neck completely (it foams a lot and I mean really a lot !!) and the product goes a long way. But, it does nothing to my skin so I have no special reason to want it to stay forever. 

My first experience with the product was that wow, it really works. But, that was probably the only first reaction. Because, from the next day on, it really showed nothing. Instead, it really makes you wonder if the product is really worth it. It has extremely small beads which are supposed to be exfoliating but they are so small that you can not even feel them on your skin after application. It does make your skin extremely clean but then it is supposed to do at least that. It stings if it gets into the eyes. Frankly, I am disappointed with myself for buying it. I could have really got something which I wanted. So, it is like a big no no for me.

Ponds White Beauty Daily Spot-less Lightening Facial Foam

The company claims that the face wash would bring a pinkish glow on the face. I can safely say that it really does that. The product is really good for its price. I had bought it a long time back so I do not remember the price. But, the product is drying for people with dry skin so I guess it would be great for oily skin. Read the review of the same product by an oily skin person. It foams a lot so the product does go a long way. So, people looking for fair skin might want to try the product. Though, I would advise anyone to refrain from using whitening skin products as they have bleaching agents int hem which are harmful and drying for the skin in the long run. They do make your skin look aged when used for very long time.

Disclaimers: I have not been paid by anyone to do these reviews. These are my personal experiences.
