Graceful hands

Your hands speak volumes about you, literally. See to it that your hands are well-manicured and your arms hair-free. This will impart a feminine grace.

graceful hands

Hands can easily spoil the grace if you are not careful with them. When you have nothing to do with them, let them do nothing. Don’t become conscious of them during a conversation and start waving them or attempt making unnatural gestures to drive your point home. 


Watch out when your hands tend to start fidgeting, twisting and twirling the corner of your handkerchief, duppatta or patting your hair or the pleats of your sari. These irritating little mannerisms reveal an unsure personality. Let your hands just relax. 

While sitting on an arm chair or sofa, let one hand rest easily on a chair arm; let the other rest on your lap, fingers slightly curled. Avoid resting both elbows on the chair arms; this adds to the body width and is not graceful.

The hand appears more graceful in profile. Learn to keep your hands at a slight angle with the body always.

This video depicts simple exercises to get graceful hands.

    I would recommend glycerin. Any brand would do. Apply it right after doing the dishes or cleaning around the house. Olive oil does wonders too, just that it's more expensive.

    First of all, it is really important to use Luke warm water and NOT hot water because the hot water washes away the natural oils and drys out your hands (and body). If you are worried about germs, think of it this way. There is no temperature of water you can wash with that will be hot enough to kill bacteria and germs. The FRICTION of scrubbing with soap (and it DOESN'T have to be antibacterial) and running water washes the germs away.Think about it... medical personnel use AUTOCLAVES to scorch the metal equipment to kill the germs. Your human flesh can't handle even boiling water which is a whole lot cooler than autoclave.

    Use lotion or oils directly AFTER the bath/shower/washing for the best absorption into the skin.

    At night, use a thick ointment or similar cream and wear the cloth gloves to keep your hands from rubbing it all over your sheets and blankets and to keep it in contact with your hands longer.

    For glossy and strong nails, soak them in a mixture of lemon juice & glycerine.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
