How to motivate yourself to lose weight:

Almost anyone who has tried to lose weight knows how difficult it is to follow through and complete a diet plan. In the beginning it´s easy. We’re excited and eager to get started, and we´re convinced we´ll do it this time. The second week is still fine, but a a bit harder than the first. Still, we manage to stick with it. And then it happens: we start bending the rules and slowly slip back into our old ways. And we ask ourself: why? Why does this happen to us? Let me tell you why. We don´t have the right priorities. Somehow, we don´t  feel that losing weight is important enough to really make it happen. If that´s the case, then what would be important enough to make us stick with a diet plan? I believe it isn´t our desire to lose weight, but something else instead: wanting to taking care of our health. I don´t think there´s anything else that´s more important.

The state of our health affects everything in our life. Just think about it for a moment: if our health deteriorates we are forced to change our  habits. Some people need a serious accident or a life-threatening illness to change their accustomed ways. But I believe we shouldn´t wait for our bodies break down before we make the decision to look after our health. When we don´t feel well, everything we do is affected by that feeling. But if we feel full of energy, evrything we do is also improved by that. Because of this, I believe it´s important to make a healthy lifestyle our first priority in life, instead of just trying to lose some weight.

The best way to do this is to find out where your priorities are right now. Do you really value your health? How much do your habits and your lifestyle reflect the priorities of someone who values health above all else? I recently saw a film about a marathon runner aged 89, and I aksed myself, “Will I have that much energy when I´m his age, or will I be weak and ill?”  I believe the things I do now and the way I live my life today will determine the answer to that question in the future. And the great thing is: if we decide to make health our first priority, then weight loss is bound to happen, almost as a side effect.

Eat these vegetables to help your body burn belly fat

vegetablesSpecial vegetables that help the body burn belly fat? Sounds
crazy, doesn´t it? If you read on below you'll see it´s not
such a crazy idea.

First of all, you may not be aware that there are certain
chemicals in our food supply and in our environment, such as
pesticides, weed killers, and other substances that trigger an
estrogenic effect inside our body.  This can lead to an increase
of stomach fat in both sexes, so it´s better to be aware of
this.

These substances are termed xenoestrogens, and we come into
contact with them in the form of chemicals in our nutrient
supply, in the water we drink, and in our surroundings. This is
one factor that can cause our body to retain stomach fat. This is
a very serious problem, because even if you eat organically grown
food and live in a relatively low-polluted area, it´s virtually
impossible not to be exposed to xenoestrogens to some degree.
These chemicals are even found in the cleaners we use around the
house and in makeup!

So what can be done about these substances, and how can we stop
them from causing our body to retain its belly fat?

Well, this is where the special kinds of vegetables that I'm
talking about can assist.

There are many kinds of vegetables, and even teas and spices, and
other plant-derived products that contain chemicals that can help
the body defend itself against the effect of xenoestrogens.  One
of the most powerful groups among these are the so-called
cruciferous vegetables, which include cauliflower, cabbage,
brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, and others.

This class of vegetables contains very special substances called
phytonutrients that help fight against the effects of
xenoestrogens in the body, which in turn helps the body to burn
belly fat much faster.

Of course there are many other good reasons to eat vegetables
like broccoli and cauliflower. But now you can add their effect
on belly fat to the list!

Enjoy a healthy nutrition, and best of luck with your health and
fitness goals!

Hair coloring

The is not as simple as it looks. I just changed the professional line of hair color I use to Matrix Logics. I used the Framesi line for years, which is a good hair color product, but I was seeing some results from Logics that I really liked and I think change is good every so often so, I decided to change. Well, it was a bigger project than I thought and it brought to mind the problems you How To, DIY’ers are up against when trying to choose the right hair color from a chart of hair colors.“Chart of Hair Colors isn’t always what it seems”
My experience tells me MOST people who experiment with home hair color, (especially those who are new to using a chart of hair colors,) will get in WRONG!  It’s not that you can’t get a hair color that you like over-the-counter, many people can, but sometimes only after the pain of getting it very wrong!  It’s more about not knowing how to read a chart of hair colors and about not knowing your own base hair color and not taking the time to read all directions.
To come up with the hair color you desire this formula needs to be used: Starting hair color + new hair color = finished hair color.
The problem most people have is they look at a chart of hair colors and choose, let’s say, dark brown with light gold highlights and think that’s what they will get!  It may seem logical but . . . that won’t happen! The problem is their starting hair color was not considered and it contributes to the outcome of the finished hair color.
The colors to choose from on any chart of hair colours have levels and tones to consider. Levels of hair color have to do with darkest color (black) to the lightest color (platinum blondes). Tones have to do with cool or warm tones like, ash tones, red tones or golden tones.
To give you an idea of how I use a chart of hair colors; this is what I used to reformulate my hair color. I was a level 7 (light golden brown) and wanted to deepen my hair color to a level 5 (medium brown) and tone down the gold.
Starting hair color + new hair color = finished hair color
Starting hair color – Roots are a level 4 with over 50% gray.  Rest of hair is colored a light golden brown level 7.

New hair color –  Permanent hair color –  Equal parts 6NN and 4NN with 20 volume developer on roots for 45 minutes.  Rest of hair used a demi-permament hair color 2 parts 6N to 1 part 8G with 5 volume developer for 20 minutes.
Finished hair color – Level 5 (medium brown hair) with warmth
This formula worked perfect for my desired results!  On the contrary, if I had just picked up a box of hair color ‘medium brown’ and just poured it on my head; I would have ended up with lighter roots and black hair!
A professional has more control of the hair color you can achieve. But, if you want to do your own at home, remember not to choose a color just by its name or color on the front of the box, but read the chart of colors, read the back of the box thoroughly, know your own base hair color and take your time to get it right – or DON’T do it!

Fall Hair Trends – Short Sexy Bangs Hairstyles

Even though fall hair trends cover the gamut of long, medium and short hair and bangs or no bangs, “it’s the shorter hairstyles that will stand out this fall” says Oribe, celebrity hair guru.  And I think he’s right that short bangs hairstyles will really stand out this fall, as long hair has become so common.“No Fuss fall-hair-trends"
My guess is the fall hair trend that will be requested most often will be the new medium and short bob hairstyles that we see cropping up all over Hollywood.  It’s easier for most of us to make smaller commitments when it comes to changing our hairstyles. It’s easier to trim old summer damaged ends off into medium layered haircuts.   But, it’s these short and sweet, inspired by Rihanna hairstyles that will most likely be the most noticed fall hair trend this year.

Love the caramel hair highlights on Oprah even if it is a wig! Short bangs hairstyles like these don’t need much fuss, just a little product to smooth and add shine and need I say . . . keeping the hair in great condition.

Here is how Ulta hair stylist Rodney Cutler, created this short fall hair trend above.

   
• Apply a quarter size dollop of Redken align 12 ultra straight balm throughout the hair. Using a paddle brush and blow-dryer, smooth the hair around the scalp from side to side. Then using a circular pattern blow-dry clockwise and then counter-clockwise. Continue to dry the hair back and forth until the hair is completely dry.

   
• Apply a few drops of Redken glass 01 smoothing serum in the palms of your hands and warm between the hands. Run your fingers through the hair to create shine and a subtle textured finish.

   
• Lightly spritz with Redken quick dry 18 instant finishing spray for a manageable, all-day hold.
