Look Sexy Yet Elegant

There is that one guy you have laid your eyes on some time ago. Tall, dark, handsome man, that works in the same building as you, but besides occasional encounters in an elevator, nothing has ever happened, until just a few days ago, when he finally approached you and asked you out. You were ecstatic until Saturday night, when you realized that you do not know what you should wear. Even though they say differently, men do notice what we have put on ourselves, and if this date is really important to you, then you should think more than twice about what you are going to wear.

The combinations are endless: a dress or a two piece: skirt or pants, shirt or sweater, on heals or flats. After only a few minutes you might feel like you are on a verge of a breakdown because Sophie’s choice just became yours. The important thing is that you look classy, but at the same time reveal something to trigger the imagination. If you are puzzled by this combination, we have a few advices you could follow, and sweep him of his feet.
Balance It Up
Your grandmother has probably thought you something when you first started going out, but just in case you missed it, let me say that nobody will buy the cow if he can get the milk for free. It is an age-old inappropriate saying that has to be your dating mantra. What it basically means is that you should never reveal too much. A balance needs to be made between what is covered and what is left to be seen. So if your legs are showing, avoid cleavage. On the other hand, if you are wearing pants, you are allowed to show a little bit of skin on your upper part. So decide which part of you will be more conservative, and which one you wish to present as one of your stronger attributes.

Keep It Simple
Women make the biggest fashion mistakes because they watch too many runway shows and read too many magazines where they see the most unusual combinations, and then try to copy them in real life. But the fact is that those are designed specifically for photo-shooting sessions, and are not appropriate for everyday situations. So keep it simple and remember that LBD is your best friend. Every girl needs to own a few going out dresses for the Saturday night date, and one of them should be the little black one, known to be perfect for every occasion.

No Fear
Simple black dress is always the safest choice, as usually you cannot go wrong with it, but do not be afraid to put a bit of color on yourself. If you choose to wear a dress, make a statement with its color. Darker ones like olive green, blue or maroon are all elegant and perfect for the evening wear, but if you feel confident, transform yourself into lady in red. She is self-assured, beautiful and amazing, and she looks as if the world is her oyster. If on the other hand you wear a two piece suit, mix and match, but be careful when combining colors. Just to be sure that you do not mess things up, always choose one neutral color with another bright one. This way, you will still attract attention in the room, but the right kind of one.

Last thing you need to have in mind is that it is not just about your looks. You need to relax, have fun, and be yourself. Yes, it does sound like a cliché, but it is the most important thing, as love at first sight is nice, but it will not last long if he does not meet the true you.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. 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. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

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...
