Continued From Aromatherapy For Mind, Body And Spirit
The burning question that probably confounds the uninitiated amongst us is the difference between essential and scented oils. Simply put, essential oils are oils that have been extracted from natural sources such as plants and fruits.
Scented oils on the other hand are usually (but not always) their scent. This is probably the biggest difference between essential and scented oils. A point to note is that research has indicated that scented oils, be they “low-grade” essential oils or synthetic scented oils may contribute to certain allergies and asthma.

Smells So Good! Let your mind and body embark on a scent-sensational experience
Aromatherapy is once again gaining popularity in our fast-paced and hectec lives. Not exactly a new fad therapy, some ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians and Romans, treated varying ailments using comparable forms of aromatherapy before the advent of modern medicine when people relied on herbs to treat medical problems.
Today, aromatherapy is seen as a new-age formula to assist us in creating a more relaxed environment whether it is administered using an oil burner or through massage. Relax after a long day’s work in the bath or your favorite chair surrounded by the aromatic waft of soothing lavender or relaxing camomile. (more…)

Continued From Having Plants In The House – See The Light
Watering Rules
Most of us are under the impression that plants need to be watered daily, but this isn’t the case. how often a plant needs to be watered depends on a number of factors, including the type of plant, the size of the pot, and how bright it is where it’s placed.
If you give a plant more water than it needs, you will end up killing it. It’s best to find out from the shop, when you buy the plant, how often you need to water it. (more…)

Continued From Having Plants In The House
It goes without saying: all plants need light to flourish and grow. Putting a plant indoors, therefore, means they need to be placed close to a convenient source of sunlight as possible. Either that, or you’d have to weave in a routine to move your potted greens to a location where they can be exposed for some time to natural lighting.
The amount of light a plant requires varies. In general, the darker a plant’s leaves, the less amount of light it needs. (more…)

Having plants in the house comes with the responsibility of caring for them. We show you how.
Having green plants at home, indoors or outdoors, can do wonders. A touch of Mother Nature adds warmth, and breathes life and soul into a room. It lends a natural and pleasant touch, breaks the cold and hard monotony of stone walls and tiles, and in some cases, emits a crisp smell of freshness like no other.
These effects sum up the appeal of introducing foliage into the home. (more…)

5. French Panties.
What they say about you: Wearing classic French lingerie says you’re an extremely well-put together woman, says psychologist Tina. “you take a lot of pride in yourself, feel you’re attractive, and wearing elegant lingerie makes you feel even that much more beautiful.”
French lingerie generally have wilder colours and often mix prints and lace with more exotic cuts. “This woman is very fashion-forward,” says psychologist Tina. “She’s probably wearing the latest styles. “Either way, this lingerie is expensive, and wearing it says you believe you deserve the best.

2. Boy Briefs.
What they say about you: Boy briefs indicate that you’re pragmatic or you’re feeling physically powerful. Or that you want to feel more powerful, says psychologist, Tina. You probably like being active and challenging yourself physically.
Women who wear mesh or cotton boy shorts are down-to-earth realists, says Christye, boutique owner. However, she points out that there are now lace boy-shorts as well that blend practicality with sex appeal, and these are popular alternatives to thongs and bikinis. (more…)

On a typical morning, you step out of the shower, wrap a towel around yourself, and peruse your underwear drawer. Do you choose a sexy high-cut thong? A pair of simple white bikinis? Gray boy shorts? Or do you just grab whatever clean?
Style, color, fabric and fit all affect your underwear choice. You mood may also make a difference in your selection. “How you’re feeling about yourself on a day may affect what you wear. For example, if you’re feeling vulnerable, you may be more covered up underneath,” says psychologist, author of The Unofficial Guide to Dating Again. “If you’re feeling more self-confident, maybe you’re wearing red underwear or some lacy thing.”

“Like most career woman, I spend more time in the office than anyplace else, so I guess it was bound to happen. Mike had just joined our company after working abroad for many years and we’d been assigned to work on the same project. After many late nights of slogging together in the office, I found myself looking forward to coming to work. Mike and I were a perfect team. We were on the same wavelength when it came to most things and he had this intriguing way of being able to end my sentences. It wasn’t long before our attraction for each other became too apparent to be ignored. We had a talk about what was going on and both decided that we wanted to pursue a relationship to compromise our work, so we set out strict guidelines as to what we could and couldn’t do in the office. There would be absolutely no PDA whatsoever and if we were to have any arguments, we’d leave it outside of the office and treat each other with utmost professionalism.

Continued From Good Karma
1. Plan The Positive Seed.
Be nice in a small way today, and it will come back to you later in ways you could never predict,” Linda says. “Being nice has a domino effect and eventually someone will be nice to you too. Every time you don’t do something positive you’re shutting a door to a world that could enrich your life.”
Do small acts of kindness throughout the day – thank the shop assistant who makes your sandwich at lunchtime, hold open the door for that person struggling with a pram or smile at a stranger. Plant a tree, or ofter to carpool for someone else’s kids. Being nice doesn’t have to be about grand gestures. The smallest deed is better than the grandest good intention.
