Care Of The Nose

Categorised under: Health, nose Add a comment

The nose is a delicate and important part of the face. But how many of us are aware of the simple ways of taking care of our nose.

I am not nosing my way into your nasal matters but only taking the liberty of suggesting some simple measures for the proper care of your nose, which constitutes a very important part of your face.

Many people, for instance, are not aware of the right way of blowing their noses. They often tend to compress the lower part of the nose very tightly with their thumb and forefinger, and blow out with all their might.

For A Clean & Shapely Navel

S asks:

I have a good figure and like to wear low saris (below the navel). How can I ensure that my navel looks clean and shapely? If I clean it with a towel, it hurts a lot.

Why don’t people hear you ? Perhaps your voice lacks that impact. Develop that Power of Speech

Categorised under: Grooming, Personal growth Add a comment

All of us have experienced, sometime or the other, that frustrated feeling of being ignored. You find you have to repeat yourself so many times! People seem preoccupied and not really listening to you. And worse, others seem to just butt in while you are still talking and steer the conversation away right from under your nose!

Well, it happens to everybody sometimes. But if it happens more than sometimes, you must sit up and analyze yourself. To be habitually ignored, does not augur well for your emotional and physical well-being. It can adversely affect your career and life. Experts say the major reason for this sorry state is poor speech impact. You may be a brilliant person with original ideas and intelligent thoughts. But if your speech lacks even the average impact, all your ideas will fall flat. No one will listen to you.

Like Rita. At her office meetings, her ideas and suggestions always go unheard and unnoticed while far more inferior ones actually get accepted. Rita, naturally, feels frustrated and sad. “I don’t see myself in any way inferior to my colleagues” she laments, “but somehow, always others get heard more than me.”
Sumati lives in a joint family and often remarks, “I don’t know why, though I am loved by all, no one seems to take me seriously.” All major and minor family decisions are taken without even one of her suggestions meriting acceptance.

Are you able to get people to listen to what you say – with interest, respect and attention? It’s your “speech impact” which decides this. Hone it to perfection and become a successful “talker”.

We all know that speech is the vehicle of thought. On the quality of this vehicle depends the successful translation and communication of our ideas.
The quality of speech is determined by the language used, speed, tone and volume of voice.

Celebrity Beauty Lies

Categorised under: beauty bubble Add a comment

We are used to celebrities lying about their marital affairs, their age etc. But what about beauty lies they pass off as advice? For example, what do you think of this one? 9-12 hours of sleep is the secret of my beauty; it ensures glowing complexion or something to that effect . Now we all know that sleep deprivation is detrimental to health. 6-8 hours of beauty sleep is understandable but 12 hours of sleep??? Isn't that an exaggerated fib? Now didn't they know long hours of sleeping has several health hazards and could also be a symptom of some other disease?

See other such beauty lies celebs pass off as fact.
