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.

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.

Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients.
