How to Tighten Loose Skin After Pregnancy

New mothers will often experience having loose skin after pregnancy and a lot of these new moms will undergo plastic surgery to restore their youthful appearance but very few can afford surgery after having a baby. Though it can be so hard to look at and worry about this problem there are some very affordable ways to tighten up your skin.

Exercise and weight training can help increase the elasticity of your skin. Have you ever noticed those fitness models, which after having a baby, look like they never carried a baby for nine months. Trust me when I say they're not special, those workouts did the job and they will do the job for you.

Light skin creams can help tighten your skin. The trick is to massage your favorite cream on those trouble areas for a few minutes, in a circular motion. This will help your blood cells under your skin come alive. Use creams to restore lost moisture, the moisture you've lost during pregnancy.

Use fun bath sponges on your body to get rid of dead skin! If you're not on your cycle you should take as many mineral baths as possible. Take the sponge and rub your skin. You'll feel refreshed and revived.

If you can't wait and need instant results, try covering up your problem areas with makeup. You can create a camouflage appearance by using self tanners, foundation and concealer coverage. If you're walking on the beach in a two piece, you will be the only person to know anything about your flaws.

Finally, try a body wrap. You can get it professionally done or you can do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. This technique will help rid your body of toxins and it will tighten dry, loose skin. Try getting your wraps done every five to six months and you'll see results, you might even lose a few inches.

How to Be More Elegant By Eunice Leong-Tan

If you asked me this question over coffee one day, I would tell you that it is simply impossible to answer that question in one sitting. It would probably require me to write a book to answer that question.

However, as I sit beside my window watching the rain, I decide to try to condense the answer into this article.

First of all, I would like to start by quoting something I read in a book by dale carnegie called " How to Develop Self-Confidence and Influence People by Public Speaking". He says, "We are evaluated and classified by four things: by what we do, by how we look, by what we say, and by how we say it."

Similarly, our 'level of elegance' is evaluated by these four things.

What we do

The things we do can fall on so many things. They can be your chosen career, job, how you decorate your house, the way you go about your daily life, your hobbies, the types of books you read, the causes you campaign for and believe in etc.

All those above things are important which affect other people's perception of your elegance. However, I'm going to zone in on two. Your manner of behaviour and your daily activities.

First of all, I believe that graciousness comes first in an elegant person. Manners and kindness are the defining characteristics. An elegant person is just not rude. Period.

Secondly, I hate to tell you this but there are certain realities like social class and hierarchies that we can't avoid. The truth is there are some jobs and careers out there that are more elegant than others. Usually the more elegant ones are those who serve a noble purpose. This follows the first characteristic of an elegant person who is defined by kindness and the beliefs that others matter more. There is some work that exists for a greater cause that personal fulfillment and luxury. But who can correctly set the great divide between elegant jobs or non-elegant jobs?

Also, job and career aren't exactly the most elegant words or terms usually used to describe 'what we do'. Just a thought.

How we look

This is possibly the easiest path to greater elegance. Elegant folks make a point to always be perfectly groomed. Not a hair is out of place. Their clothes are appropriate. They are clean and tidy. They have fewer items but they are of quality.

Most of grooming tools that you need to look elegant are found in the supermarket and they cost less than ten dollars.

Outer appearance sounds superficial, but what most of us don't realize is how our outer appearance say more about us than we wish. They reflect our character and habits. Sloppy appearances show that you can't-be-bothered.

One other important thing, your appearance is like wearing a club membership. It identifies you to similar club members. Those who are elegant also use that to identify their friends subconsciously. Like the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

What we say

There is such a thing as an elegant speech and an elegant conversation.

If you want to learn how to be more elegant, you have to identify the mistakes in your speech. This refers to grammar, thoughtful sentence structure, the use of proper english (or whichever language you converse in). Avoid the use of slang or vulgarity. It is just awful to an elegant person's ears. Not like you'll ever know, they'll probably overlook it to make you feel comfortable.

An elegant conversation is civil and appropriate. It does not intrude on personal matters. It never uses direct questions which may sound like an interrogation. Interrupt never, rush absolutely not. It is not long winded nor peppered with advice or hints. It is neither forceful or opinionated.

To develop elegant speech and to become an elegant conversationalists, good books must be read and there must be some self reflection. An etiquette book helps for general reading because it helps you identify common scenarios which will not catch you off guard later on.

Another point is to take note is we have to consider the literal terms "what we say" literally. What do you talk about? Are they the result of self reflection, education, study, observation, unselfishness? Or are they materialistic, superficial, out-the-mouth-without-entering-the-brain-first?

Yet this is another measure of how we can improve our elegance.

How we say it

Apart from elegant speech and conversation, this is another thing that all of us subconsciously judge elegance by. Our accent, its clarity, its prose and poise.

Is our voice nasal? Can we be heard clearly? Are we understood?

Is our accent distracting?

Is the pronunciation of our words perfect?

At age 18, Grace Kelly begged for a voice recorder to train herself to get rid of her country accent. She later married a prince.

If you want to learn how to be more elegant, you can consider adopting a more neutral, international accent, learning phonics or getting a elocution coach.

Thank you for reading this article, I made it as concise as possible for anyone who wants to learn to be more elegant.

About Women’s Health Supplements

I want to get my health back on track. What kind of nutrients would you recommend I should look into in the area of women health supplements?
Great question! There are plenty of supplements out there that can be of great aid to women’s health. One problem that plagues women, especially later in life, can be the dreaded osteoperosis. Since your body needs a steady supply of calcium, if you do not meet your body’s calcium requirements, it will begin to sap the calcium from your body’s teeth and bones, leaving them brittle and weak.
<span id=”more-503″>
To prevent this, a calcium supplement can be of great aid. Coral calcium is one product on the market that can help prevent this ailment. Harvested from long-dead sea beds, the calcium found in coral sediments can help to pave the way for clear health.

Antioxidants are also key parts in maintaining the health of both males and females. Helping to stop the damaging effects of free-radicals (highly reactive chemicals that capture electrons and modify chemical structures), antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E may reduce the risk of cancer and muscular degeneration. Iron is also a key element that needs to be regularly consumed to help maintain the female body.

The body needs this mineral to produce red blood cells, and an iron shortage can result in anemia, a condition marked by a lack of red blood cells. Many of these simple minerals can help maintain your body’s structure and help lead you to great health. Some supplements even offer combined compounds that help to meet your daily requirements in a few of these categories.

I hope this article has helped you to learn more about your body and the things it needs to be working in its fittest form. Best of luck on your quest for nutrition!

The science of self image- Why being your own beauty consultant often works best

The self image is perhaps one of the most exploited parts of anyone’s psyche. “This looks good”- on someone. “This looks bad”- on someone else. The expectations are raised, and disappointment, or more likely irritation, is the result. The choice of shoes, maternity wear or even a simple top can be a quite unnecessary epic of indecision. The time comes when you need to be your own beauty consultant.



The self image, explained- To a point
The self image, strictly speaking, is a combination of personal realism and various efforts to improve the self image. It develops from childhood, and is often quite sensitive to certain issues. The issues vary with the individual, but there’s always some point or situation which gets on the nerves.
