Vitamin A

Health Benefits!

Do you take vitamins on a daily basis, or get enough Vitamin A?


There are so many assorted vitamins to choose from now days taking a multivitamin can be very beneficial, however some people only need various vitamins and not the whole.

I've been taking Vitamin A for sometime now, because I read through the Murad (skincare) pill ingredients and noticed that Vitamin A, and Zinc were in there. So... I've been taking both of these, and just ran out of my Vitamin A =(. I've been wanting to share for some time now the great benefits of VA!!!

It's great for skin, nails, hair, eyes, and our health in general!

SMILE!

There are so many different languages,
but a smile speaks every single one!
:] :) :} :P :D ^_^ ^_~
Have you ever noticed how a smile can be contagious?

Sometimes work, or various environments can be degrading when you feel like you're constantly being trampled on by negativity... I've come to realize through psychology, and just personal experience that a smile is truly contagious. When someone beats you with rudeness kill them with kindness! It works! It may not make you happy, but you can be happy with yourself knowing that there's nothing more you could have done and that you weren't rude. This way you can't lie to yourself, or feel bad about how you may have treated someone. If anything maybe the angry person will walk out of the store, and realize what a rude person they were, and then again maybe not. Sometimes people just go through phases, or something bad has happened to them, and they believe the world owes them something. Nobody is ever owed anything, we all breath the same are and are born the same way. Nobody really enjoys being mean it seems, however different paths we walk in sometimes are covered in rocks, or debris, so in order to achieve a clear path sometimes individuals get frustrated and take their aggressions out on the wrong entity (you, or me!). I was reading an article that I found online that was quite informative on happiness:

Smiling creates happiness...
And Happiness is contagious!!!!

So... SMILE! It's good for you, and the world.
Remember when you smile someone will 99.9% of the time smile back!<3

Counting your calories...

It's been a while, but I'm back...!


Counting your calories is something that's just hit me in the head. Today I've noticed my intake was probably over a 2,000 limit (lol). I'm pretty athletic, tall, and slender. If anything I'm underweight for my height, and work out so much that I'm a bottomless pit at this point.
The main point in this post tonight is that it's important for us to count our calories regardless of any body type we may have!

It's simple to do: If you're on the go keep a small journal with you, and write down anything you eat. If you have a smart phone there are also many new applications out there that can practically do the work for you. I had a body program application on my iPhone before, and loved it (but no longer can afford an iPhone!) So I'm going to start keeping a log about what I eat on physical paper.

This is not only beneficial to your body, but to your mind as well!
So keep in mind the next time you go out to lunch, or dinner and order that 4,000 calorie item maybe cut it in half with a salad, or something not as heavy. A process my friend has been doing is just cutting her portions in half. You'd be surprised when eating, and chewing slowly how much fuller you feel with a glass of water also. Summer is coming, and health lasts a life time, so my advice to all of you is to keep a food journal and keep calories in check before they check you!
