My Goodness Sex


stumbled upon this article.  hmmmm makes me think now....but let me think of ways why staying single can also be this good and let's weigh things after ;_)
 


Paulo Coelho’s book titled “Eleven Minutes” suggests that the “act of coming together” just takes about 2-3 minutes, while the remaining 9 minutes are no more than an attempt to reach the “crescendo” when a hormonal discharge provides ecstasy like none other!

Scientists have often debated that sex is extremely beneficial for our health, but the lack of sex in good measures can have negative effects. On the other hand, too much sex can also be harmful; if you indulge in sex for more than 3 times a week, you are exposing yourself to the risk of a weaker immune system as well as vulnerability to infections…

1. The balance of your mental and emotional health is definitely influenced by sex. While abstinence often leads to anxiety or paranoia and even depression…having sex can cure cases of light depressions. After having exercised sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress and induce a wonderful state of euphoria.

2. For all you women, having regular sex means freedom from expensive salon treatments. An excellent beauty treatment, having sex actually doubles the level of estrogen in women and makes their hair shine with brilliance while making their skin supple and softer.

3. And if you want to love longer, then look no further than your own bedroom. According to a research carried out at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, having regular sex increases the lifespan in humans. It was found that out of the people of the same age and health, those who had more frequent orgasms faced 50% less death rate than who people who didn’t have frequent orgasms.

4. Sex is an excellent deep-cleansing treatment as well. Since sex is a strenuous but enjoyable exercise, when you have sex the pores of your skin are cleansed leaving a brighter and glowing skin as well as decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

5. An inexpensive and pleasurable exercise, sex can make you lose weight. When you have sex after a candlelight romantic dinner, not only do you burn all the fat and carbohydrates you consumed, but you also stay healthy at no extra cost! Consider this: A single session of passionate, mind-blowing sex (even regular sex) can burn about 200 calories. This is equivalent to running for 15 minutes on a treadmill!

6. Ladies, if you like you man to have bulging biceps then have sex more often. Sex is a great way to strengthen muscles. Imagine the effort made by your man through those difficult pushes and flexions! Of course, it all depends on the stunts in your bed…but it’s definitely better than running for miles on miles.

7. Did you know that the more active your sex life, the more attractive and irresistible you become for the opposite sex? Really! An active sex life means that your body gets into the habit of releasing more pheromones, chemicals that attract all those gorgeous, luscious women! No wonder Casanova was so popular!

8. Sex can sharpen your senses; especially enhance your sense of smell. After sex, prolactin is released that activates the stem cells in the brain to form new neurons in the olfactory bulb. This helps to improve your sense of smell.

9. A pain reliever, sex is TEN times more effective than painkillers such as Valium. Just before orgasm, the hormone oxytocin’s level rises almost 5 times, leading to release of large amount of endorphins. Endorphins are natural painkillers and relieve you of pain, minor headaches, and migraines without any after effects. Next time your lady has a headache, treat her with a vigorous session of lovemaking rather than a Valium.

10. We all know that dentists’ bills can blow you off, but nothing can blow you like a good, deep French kiss! The act of Kissing stimulates salivation, which helps clean food particles stuck between the teeth and lowers the acidity level in your mouth. This is the primary cause of tooth decay. So kiss all you want, after all it’s a great excuse!
So my dear friends, sex is not just good for the mind, the body, but the wallet as well!

Beauty Tips from the Kitchen

tumbled on this very good, practical, and easy to prepare simple beauty tips.  Read on and be beautiful... ;_)

Your kitchen contains the most amazing products that when put together can deliver the beauty promise of soft skin, shiny hair, and smooth face.  To get you started on your long overdue pampering, here are some homemade beauty recipes that you can use. So relax and let the pampering begin!
 
FACE IT!
COOLING CUCUMBER FACIAL MASK
Beauty Fact:

Cucumbers contain Silica, which is an important substance for good health and skin. Silica enhances skin tone and texture. Moreover, cucumbers possess high fluid content, which can help keep the skin hydrated and radiant.

Recipe:

Mix one small cucumber and one cup of oatmeal to make a paste.
For oily skin: combine one teaspoon of yogurt with one teaspoon of the paste.
For dry skin: combine one teaspoon of milk with one teaspoon of the paste

Leave for 30 minutes, then rinse.

EXFOLIATING OATMEAL FACIAL MASK
Beauty Fact:

Your skin adores oatmeal because it contains skin-soothing properties that fight dryness. Oats are also filled with natural cleansers that gently remove dirt and oil from pores. It helps exfoliate dry and dead skin cells to bring out a smoother skin.

Recipe:
Grind 2 tablespoons of old-fashioned oats.
Pour into a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of hot water and ½ tablespoon of honey. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Wash face with warm water. While skin is still damp, massage paste onto face, circling around eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10 minutes. Then rinse.

HAIR POWER!
HAIR MASK FOR SHINY, BOUNCY LOCKS
Beauty Fact:

Vinegar is slightly acidic in nature. And this property helps restore the scalp’s ph balance, detoxifying it from dirt and shampoo build-up.

Recipe:

After hair is shampooed, pour 1 cup of vinegar through hair. Massage hair and scalp. Then rinse.
Apply usual conditioner; after which, wash with water.

EGG-CITING HAIR CONDITIONER
Beauty Fact:

Raw eggs contain significant concentration of essential proteins and nutrients that help strengthen hair follicles. These nutrients also contribute to hair’s volume, shine and texture.

Recipe:

Beat egg then massage it into hair and scalp. For longer hair, use a brush to sufficiently cover the hair and scalp.
Leave it for 15 minutes.
Rinse the hair using cool or lukewarm water. Avoid the use of hot water.
Proceed to washing of hair with shampoo.

BODY TREATS!
YUMMY CHOCOLATE SCRUB
Beauty Fact:

Chocolate contains anti-oxidant properties that help smoothen out wrinkles. It also helps rejuvenate the skin, leaving it smooth and radiant. 

Recipe:

Mix the following together: 3 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add oil gradually until mixture looks like a paste. Add water if needed.
Apply this scrub to moist skin after washing.
Use circular motions, massage gently. Then rinse.

SWEET SUGAR SCRUB
Beauty Fact:

Sugar is a good exfoliating agent as it deeply cleans the skin without clogging the pores. Sugar scrubs promote the growth of a healthier; more uniformly colored and textured skin.

Recipe:

Mix 11/2 cup of white sugar with ¼ cup of light vegetable oil.
Rub it all over the body before turning on the water. Then rinse.

all about life

The adventure of life is to learn.
The purpose of life is to grow.

The challenge of life is to overcome.
The essence of life is to care.

The secret of life is to dare.
The spice of life is to befriend.
The beauty of life is to give.
The joy of life is to love.

The Blind Side

 i was invited to go to a mountain resort yesterday but i begged off as i only wanted to be with me and myself.  had time to go ukay-ukay in the afternoon and found great cheap deals. ;_) then decided to rent some cds from video city and found sandra bullock's 'the blind side'. after feasting with crabs and 'pitik' over dinner i watched it. hay.....shed so many tears. one of the great movies i've ever seen and for sure will make it to my top 20 list or something.  
we should not really be judgmental with people on the streets.  they too have their own story to tell.  and yes if you have extra room in your house you can invite one of them maybe. hahaha. in fact adoption came to my mind after watching the whole story. funny. i wish i could be sandra too. i wish i am a billionaire too or kahit na millionaire lang. i would adopt a few of them and stay in my palace.  but then again, in the little things that i do i can be sandra one way or the other.  bottomline is treat every one like you would want to be treated by others.

i only pass this way once let me do the best i can whenever a chance comes up...
