Tip No1. Start playing memory games and games that involve lots of thinking.
Such games would be chess, checkers, sudoku or logic games that are to be found online. This way you will both have fun and sharpen your brain. If you like computer games, I advice you trying Myst. It is a beautiful game with very hard puzzles.

Tip No2. Use associations.
When you have to remember something specific, be sure to associate it with some funny or bizarre image or event. You can think of whatever you want as long as it stays in your mind. You should remember a funny and unique image because that way it will stay in your brain better than a common image you can see everyday.

Tip No3. Use less technology and more your brain
Try to use less calculators and mobile phone contacts. Try to do the equations in head and remember phone numbers and names using associations. The more you will use these techniques, the better your memory will become, and a good memory will always be a huge benefit.

Tip No4. Notice small details.
Pay attention to details and minor things. When you meet a friend, notice what clothing or jewelry she/he is wearing. When you enter some area, notice how many objects are there and where they are. Then close your eyes and try to recall what you saw. You can do this anywhere. For example, when you enter a parking lot, try to look at it for a few seconds, then close your eyes and recall how many cars where their, what brands where they and color of the cars.

Tip No5. Be fit and exercise.
By doing cardio exercises your body will be in good shape and more oxygen will be delivered to your brain such way improving your memory. You can choose from tons of exercises: running, climbing, playing ball, rope jumping, athletics. Choose one which you enjoy. I for example absolutely hate running, I rather swim.

Sometimes, with all the fuss on the cute little baby things, the more important stuff takes the backseat – stuff like making their home a childproof one for the safety and protection of their young ones. If you’re on the way to or already have kids, you don’t have to look far to get great home improvement tips on this matter. This article provides some smart and easy home improvement tips for childproofing your home.

Childproofing your home virtually means adapting a variety of systems that, together, create an environment that is child-friendly, as well as safe for everyone who resides in your home. When your young ones are still enjoying their early childhood or are toddlers, your main duty is to be vigilant in keeping them from touching, grabbing, and tasting and chewing dangerous items and elements around the house. You also have to be careful as kids in this stage are prone to climb, jump, or topple over without a care in the world, leading to accidents. The home improvement tips you should employ must be focused on these potential problems.

For one, you should install toddler gates at doorways, most especially at the top and bottom of stairways. Keep the front door closed at all times whenever you and your young ones are inside the house; toddlers are known to be quick – they could be right outside into the street with one blink of an eye. You should also enclose open deck railings with properly welded wire mesh. You can cut it with tin snips, nail or staple it in place, and file off sharp ends afterwards. If you have interior railings, acrylic sheets would do the trick. These home improvement tips can help keep your little ones safe while they walk around the house.

Entrances and exits aren’t the only things that should be locked properly. Toddlers are likely to touch outlets. In order to keep them away from harm, specifically accidental shock, replace reachable outlet covers with protective covers. You can put plastic outlet plugs to cover unused outlets. All around the house, sharp furniture, as well as edges, should be padded with foam tape.

Your outdoors should just be as protected as your indoors. If you have a swimming pool and other potential danger zones for small children, it would be best to halve these areas fenced. Outdoor play equipment should also be checked. If there are protruding bolts, the same should be cut off. Hard swing seats should be replaced with sturdy yet soft material, and slide steps should be placed with non-slip coating. These simple home improvement tips for childproofing the play area, along with your vigilance and constant supervision, are sure to keep your precious ones out of harm’s way.

Eye Beauty Enhancement Tips from Melany Whitney CPCP, DAAM

Melany Whitney is an expert permanent cosmetics technician. She is highly regarded by the press and others in her industry and has become the “voice” for permanent cosmetics; regularly interviewed on national television and for fashion magazines. In this interesting article you are sure to learn a few new tips to enhance your eyes even if you don’t wear permanent cosmetics.

If you are considering permanent makeup for the first time, you’ve got lots of questions. This article will help you to understand why permanent cosmetics should be your new beauty enhancement. With a permanent makeup application there is literally no “down time”, you’ll be ready to show off your new prettier you right after your procedure.

If you are looking for freedom from makeup, permanent makeup can give you the freedom to look your best at anytime. You can transition immediately from work to an evening out without having to be a slave to the mirror for touch ups; just a quick powder and you’re out the door.
For this special piece, we’ve interviewed Melany Whitney on how she beautifies and enhances eyes permanently. We think that you will find her artistic insight interesting reading.

<b>Interviewer:</b> Melany, you do such a wonderful job on enhancing eye beauty, but don’t clients get uncomfortable with you working so close to their eyes with needles?

<b>Melany:</b> Let me explain a little about the eye area first. The eyelids are literally the two folds of skin that shield the eyeball. The upper eyelid is larger and more moveable. It regulates the opening and closing of the eye with the help of the Orbicularis Palpebrarum muscle. Lower lid movement is slight. The eyelids act to sweep dirt from the surface of the eye, protecting it from injury, and helping distribute tear fluid.

As a permanent cosmetic practitioner, I am frequently working in close proximity to the eye and over the major protection for the eye, the eyelid. This is the biggest fear that my clients have – can I go into their actual eyeball during a procedure? Well, because the eyelids are the protection for the eye – I only work with a closed lid – thus protecting the eyeball at all times. I hold the lid firmly, but gently, in order to get enough stretch for pigment retention in that area. Poking a client in the eye has never been a concern for me a seasoned technician. The part of the eyelid that I work on is thicker at the margin – called the Tarsal Ridge. This is where most technicians DO NOT put color because it is actually more difficult to do, if one is not familiar with the physiology of that area.

<b>Interviewer:</b> So do you put color there in the Tarsal Ridge?

<b>Melany:</b> Yes, I feel that any eye lining procedure is not complete without some darkness being put in between the client’s eyelashes (the Tarsal ridge area) to give the appearance of a fuller and thicker lash base. It usually is an area in which you simply cannot get conventional eyeliner – so that the line you get with over the counter products, winds up accentuating the thinning of our lash line instead of plumping it up.

I always include this lash enhancement, which in most cases is all that is needed, to give one a “brighter and open eyed” look. It is natural and cannot be easily detected as “added”. You can go to sleep, wake up, swim, sweat, etc. without “tell tale raccoon eyes”.

<b>Interviewer:</b> What about the client who wants a more dramatic look?

<b>Melany:</b> If my client wishes a bit more thickness or darkness to that upper lash line, I can add a tad thicker line in that area to make that area even more outstanding. At the same time, I try to keep a “soft edge” to both the top and bottom liners for that all important natural appearance.

<b>Interviewer:</b> What about the lower lid, I think you do something different there don’t you?

<b>Melany:</b> Yes I do, the lower liner is definitely treated a bit differently than the top liner. It needs to be put in-between each bottom lash and in a more of a stippled or connected dots technique. Due to the natural salt we have in our tears – the bottom line will always fade a lot more than the top and give a softer effect – but a very important one. Without bottom definition, your eyes tend to look droopy and tired. Done correctly, which means, NOT done with a thick application, the liner will actually make your eyes “pop”. If not done in just that precise way, a thick black liner will tend to “close the eye up”.

<b>Interviewer:</b> What about color selections and what colors should not be used?

<b>Melany:</b> The choices in color for eyeliner have basically come down to black and black brown. Color can actually be applied as a shadow above the liner (permanently or by conventional means) if desired later. If you understand color theory – the reason you should not rim your eyes with a medium or light brown is that those browns tend to have too much warmth or red tones in them and can give your eyes a “rabbit eye” (pink) effect. 

<b>Interviewer:</b> Any other important tips for us today on eyeliner?

<b>Melany:</b> Another VERY important tip is that eyeliners should NOT go past the last lash in any direction (top or bottom). This is due to the fact that if done in the medial area or outer Canthus area of the eye, you could experience “migration”, weeping or bleeding of the color under the skin, where it is not supposed to be. I am asked many times to pass these parameters and decline. Better safe than sorry in these instances!

Another comment I’d like to make is that all black eyeliner pigments have “blue” in them. This blue will eventually come out months to years down the road. This has never been a “negative” to be concerned about, since all eyes look great with the smallest bit of blue or charcoal around them. Actually this “fading” tends to make light blue eyes a bit greener looking! This does not indicate that your technician is using “common” tattoo ink in your liner – it is simply a reality of the color black.

<b>Interviewer:</b> What great tips and insights into how you enhance eyes permanently. I think that even if you don’t wear permanent cosmetics that your tips about color and placement of liner every woman can use to improve her personal eye beauty even with removable makeup.

What is anger? What causes anger? Well, anger management has become more and more important in today’s society because of the stress in our work place, schools and family. It is generally agreed that anger is a justified emotion releasing the negative thought. It is also healthy to release your frustration this way so long as it is not excessive.

There are many websites offering anger management tips which are useful in certain extent to control your anger before it controls you. Below are some of the more common tips that you can use it today to reduce your anger issues:

Anger management tips 1 – stay calm

I cannot emphasize enough that you must stay calm when confronting with someone, be it your colleagues or your family members. When you are about to get angry, you won’t have the right mind to talk about anything! Additionally, any arguments will probably lead to fights and hence body injury.

Anger management tips 2 – physical exercises

It is useful to perform some physical workouts when you start thinking about something or someone which trigger your anger. Physical exercises such as brisk wall, jogging or swimming help to release your frustration and stress.

Anger management tips 3 – deep breaths and counting up until 10

This is a very common yet popular way to control anger. The moment your anger triggers, start counting from 1 to 10 slowly. Take at least 3 deep breaths in between. This is because by taking deep breaths and counting, it allows you space to cool down and hence avoid the outbursts of your anger.

If you have more serious anger issues, these anger management tips may only ease off your problems temporarily. To resolve the root causes of your anger, you may consider seeking further assistance form a counsellor.
