Ladies Lifestyle

What would you change if you knew how your life would unfold?

Would you eat healthier? Exercise more? Would you take better care of your teeth? Maybe you would get up the nerve to ask out the cute guy in your French class. Or maybe you would wisely say “no” when the cute guy at the gym asked you. I definitely wish five year-old me would have known how much adult me would love taking naps. Children do not appreciate the delicious respite a nap provides.

It's not funny, cute, or a compliment... and I definitely don't want to have to deal with it.

Last Wednesday night, I had just gotten off work and I was tired, hungry, and only had a quarter tank of gas left. I pulled off at my regular gas station and was making my way to the cash register when I noticed an older man standing right in my way. We did that awkward dance-around-each-other thing, and I smiled and said, "Excuse me". He moved out of my way, and then when I was a few paces ahead of him, he called out to me,

Have you ever met someone who defied the laws of attraction?

I grew up with an older brother that not only defied them but created them. It seemed like everywhere I looked he was kissing and dating some of the cutest girls I could ever imagine. To this day he is the most natural and genuine guy I ever seen with girls and people in general. I wasn’t sure then what made him such an Achilles heel to people’s heart.

It’s International Women’s Day today and it’s a day that is usually spent celebrating womanhood—in all its forms. But, as women, we submit too much—to society, customs, circumstances and men. We do it too much. Yes, feminism is on the rise and so is a growing awareness that women are powerful and deserve respect. 

Acai 
This dark Brazilian superberry is found to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of any fruit in the world.   Dark colored berries have been known for their health benefits because of their Anthocynins (Vascular pigments) which give the acai its color.  These belong to a group of molecules called flavonoids.  Well, twelve additional flavonoids were found according to the Portuguese book “Açaí: Preparo, Composição e Melhoramento de Conservação” (Schauss et al. 2006a).  It also contains a rich amount of phytosterol which may reduce blood cholesterol.  In a 2006 University of Florida study, the Acai berry destroyed cultured human cancer cells.  Acai is increasing in popularity and can now be found in smoothies, juices, and other products.  But in order to get the most from the berry, it is best to buy a product that has been freeze-dried and prepared naturally.

For 2 litres of water we take: 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon, everything is cut into slices. 

A fun game you can play with women everywhere

I tried this one out yesterday with a girl I had just met in the airport. We we’re both standing in line for something service-related, and she looked really bored, so I stepped over to her and started talking.

She was really cute; South American look, long curly hair, amazing eyes, in her young twenties. And as I said, she looked really bored, so I asked her if she wanted to play a game.

When you want to change something in your life, it can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s losing 50lbs or switching careers, starting a side business or spring cleaning the home, it might be a change you’re desperately keen to make … but getting started is really tough.

If you’re tired of lace-up sneakers and boring fluffy house slippers, there’s a new type of footwear that’s sure to shake up the shoe industry. Inspired by 1960s house party cuisine, Fondue Slippers are a thin replica of your foot that combines the satisfaction of not wearing shoes with all the fun of melted cheese. They’re kind of like those barefoot running shoes, just without all the false health benefit claims and they’re coming to you straight from (of course) Japan.
