Spice up
Bridal blues
We hear a lot about bridal care, about how beautiful the bride can look with timely skin and hair care, bridal make-up and hair styling, the bride's gorgeous attire and jewelry. We should also take into consideration the anxiety and stress that a new bride goes through and how she should cope with it. Every bride needs to pay attention to good health of both body and mind. Actually, body and mind are inter-related. They are not separate entities. When we are happy, our skin reflects it.

Are you serious?
Are you taking good care to save yourself and society in the wake of swine flu?
It leaves us quite confused when we wonder whether people are serious about swine flu or not. Schools are issued directives to send back students suffering from flu like symptoms on one hand and on the other we have a professor (whose maid succumbed to swine flu) taking regular classes in university despite of being asked not to.

Body wise
Reverse the clock
Did u know that exercise is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill? It in itself can slow and even reverse many components of the aging process. It’s probably the single most effective way to lengthen life. In other words, exercise can add years to your life and life to your years. A strong and mobile body as you age is no longer a far-fetched dream; it is a reality within our grasp. It is very much possible to turn back the aging clock. The myth is that as we grow older, we get much weaker and suffer from aches and pains. Fatigue, joint discomfort, losing muscle and gaining fat are all just part of the natural aging process. But the fact is that many age-associated declines occur not because of the aging process, but as a result of our lifestyle habits, including exercise or rather the lack of it.
