What is your favourite Christmas song? According to a billboard chart dedicated exclusively to Christmas music, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You is the most popular song in the United States. While Carey is a singer I feel privileged to have grown up listening to as I developed my own tastes in music, when I think of Christmas music, I don’t think of All I Want Is You.

A new year means hope. It means possibilities. It means new experiences and ways of viewing the world. It means another chance to find whatever it is that we’ve been looking for.

What are the benefits of ammonia in the kitchen? For example, you can use it to wash the oven cheaply. Preheat the oven at 65C before the night and turn off. Put 1/2 cup of ammonia on the upper shelf and a thick pan with hot water on the lower shelf. In the morning ventilate the oven and wash it with soapy water with several drops of ammonia. Rinse with clean water. Don't turn on gas during this procedure!

The tastiest starter. The right combination of beef and vegetables makes glad. Everyone who has tasted it likes this dish. 

We'll need:

2 thin long cucumbers 
400 g of beef (or less)
1 medium-sized onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp red chili pepper 

There are no weight loss magic bullets. Calories = 4x carbs + 4x proteins + 9x fats (in grams). Calories in - calories expended = the amount of weight you gain/lose, at about 3,500 calories per pound of body fat.

Don't be a people pleaser. Spend time with your parents and treat them  well. They will not be around one day. Mind your own business. Don't lie, cheat or be dishonest. It spoils your name in the long run. When the phone battery is down to the last bar, don't answer the phone as the radiation will be 1000 times higher. Don't cheat if you are in an unhappy relationship. Just leave.

There are such situations in life when a person performing some bad action, says: "I don't know what came over me, I wasn't myself. I don't understand how could I do such a thing, as if a demon attacked me". Or more childish: "It's not me".

Method:

Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, you’re going to need to know what’s open. A fate of movies and Chinese food can be really wonderful, but it’s also good to know that you can get a baja blast on Christmas Day if you so choose. These 25 stores that are open (either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day) have been verified via the internet, and are based on which shops were open in 2014 and 2013, so trust them at your own risk.

Here’s what’s open on Christmas:

1. Taco Bell. Because nothing says birth of Christ quite like a cheesy gordita crunch and a baja blast.

To be spiritual is to value your mental and emotional experience more than you do your physical one. Though may conjure images of crystals and incense and slow, velvet-sounding talk of world peace, there is a ton of research that backs up the practical importance of spiritual practice. Here, a few illuminating studies that prove your deep-breathing-connection-loving-positive-thinking hippie dippie friends may be onto something after all:

1. start your day with the gratitude for everything you have.
2. get up early (at 5-6 o'clock in the morning).
3. drink a lot of water (2-3 litres in a day).
4. take contrast shower for recovery.
5. plan your day.
6. point aims but don't attach yourself to them. 
7. forgive, forgive, forgive your friends and enemies. You're imperfect so forgive imperfection of other people. 
8. Spend about 15 minutes (30-60 are better) a day outdoors. 
9. don't drink after your meal.

Wide face pores are not very pleasant phenomenon. That's why lots of people are worried how to tighten them. How to do it at home using effective and reasonate methods? In most case, those woman who have oily or mixed type skin that produce a lot of grease, have such a problem. The remnants of the grease collect in pores.

 I've called it the full British breakfast, which isn't it's name. It's real name is the full English breakfast. However, people from Scotland would call it a full Scottish breakfast. People from Wales would call it the full Welsh breakfast. People from Ireland- look, you get the picture. Usually the only difference is the sourcing of ingredients, but even then that's not always the case.

Why do we go to the pharmacy every time instead of looking inyo our vegetable drawers? It's up to you whether to believe or not, but for centuries people used onion as a remedy for almost every kind in disease.

Please help me off the ground!")

Let's apply the 80/20 rule to healthy lifestyle.

Vulnerability has settled into the culture as another word, concept, “thing” that we should all be paying attention to – to ensure we have some of it or enough of it. We have Brené Brown to thank for that. Her excellent TED Talk, The power of vulnerability infiltrated the culture’s soul, and alas, here we are: wondering about vulnerability, hoping for it, trying for it, talking about it, and certainly writing about it.
