5 Tips to Stand Out From the Crowd and Feel Your Best

Establishing yourself as a unique individual and standing head and shoulders above the crowd might seem like a challenge, although in essence, it is quite simple. Even a "Plain Jane" can be a showstopper if she knows the correct way to present herself. Read on to discover 5 tips to stand out from the crowd.

1. Your hair should be your crowning glory. Respect those beautiful locks by avoiding the use of harsh chemicals and styling products. This is especially important for colour treated hair. If you have invested in a dye job, don’t let the colour wash down the drain. Use special formulas for colour treated hair. If you treat those tresses right, they will serve you well.

In addition, it is vital to choose a hairstyle that complements the shape of your face and is appropriate for the texture of your hair. If your hair is very fine or thin, long hair may make it look even sparser. Try layers on top for added volume, or layered bangs to offset a round face.

2. Beauty is only skin deep, so why not nourish it from the inside? Adhere to a healthy diet, consider nutritional supplements, and stay hydrated to ensure a glowing complexion. Skin problems can really dent your confidence, so it’s important to put in place a good skin cleaning regime and find out what works to keep your skin problems at bay. Individuals with acne or those seeking acne cures should consult with a dermatologist. In the interim, check out this website for the best skin care tips and treatments:

3. The clothes you wear can also help you stand out from the crowd, which is why you might do well to take another look at your wardrobe. Forget the latest trends; focus instead on wearing clothes that complement your individual style. That knockout dress might look gorgeous on your best friend, but it might not do a thing for you. If you aren't wearing clothing that flatters your figure, you could be cheating yourself. Remember, you do not have to spend a small fortune on your wardrobe, and you can mix and match tops and bottoms for a chic new look every day of the week.

4. Keep those pearly whites sparkling, and dazzle everyone with your winning smile. It's difficult to flash a winning smile when you don't feel confident about your teeth. If you are a smoker, do yourself a favour and quit. Your complexion will improve and your teeth will not have that funky brownish tinge. Regular cleanings by your dentist or oral hygienist can improve your smile and boost your confidence. In addition, visit your orthodontist to determine if you need dental work done, and then arrange a payment plan that fits your budget.
5. Your Positive body language speaks volumes. If you tend to slouch or walk with your head lowered, you will appear awkward and not at all self confident. Project a positive self image by standing or walking with your head held high. Crossing your arms can look like you’re defensive and not very approachable.  Maintain eye contact with those you speak with and most of all smile! Laughing and smiling shows to others that you are relaxed and positive but don’t take yourself too seriously.

The key to success is to follow these rules, but you have to remember to put your own stamp on them. Be you own person, do what makes you happy. To have a positive outlook on life, you have to be comfortable in your own skin and without being too big headed – Love yourself. I believe these tips can help you present yourself to world like you’ve always wanted too.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
