My Experience with "POND'S Bio-Hydratante Dual Cleansing Lotion" :

I am totally pleased with this product.It removes the foundation,liner, lipstick very well leaving skin soft and moisturized but it doesn't completely remove the waterproof mascara.The best thing is that it does not sting my eyes so that's a plus.I really love this product.Also it has a very nice fragrance and it's cheap too so no money wastage.Even it is good for oily skin because it is non-greasy.

Pros:

• Hard to remove waterproof Mascara

Fitness Tip

                                                             Today is Fitness tip day...

Do not stick to one fitness routine. Change the routine after every 2 to 4 weeks.If you change routine, your body will have to work harder and so you will get more results.Add something        new in your workouts so you don't get bored and lazy.

Foods To Change Your Mood

1. Feeling Sad?
Your diet can make you depressed or just the opposite. Magnesium is a mineral that's known for producing serotonin,the body's feel good medicine. Good sources of magnesium include almonds, cashews, unprocessed peanut butter, spinach, black eyed peas,lentils, kidney and pinto beans, baked potatoes, and long grain brown rice. Bananas also aid the release of serotonin.

2. Anger Taking Over?
If you're feeling mad, it's more about avoiding certain foods. Spicy peppers heat the body up and if you're already heated, you don't need anything else to help fuel the flame. 

3. Stressed at Work?
Blueberries can help relieve stress. The tiny berry is loaded with vitamin C, which is a stress reducer. Almonds also reduce stress with vitamins and minerals like vitamin B2, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.

4. Feeling Restless?
Cottage cheese contains tryptophan, a sleep inducing amino acid that relaxes the entire body and mind. If you don't do dairy you can also find tryptophan in soy milk, tofu,hummus, and lentils. Sesame seeds are rich in trytophan but they're also high in carbohydrates with a medium protein content, perfect for before bedtime.

5. Lacking Clarity?
Blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries activate the brain's natural mechanism which cleans up and recycles toxic proteins linked to age-related memory loss and other mental decline.

6. Too Bloated?
Dark leafy greens help deflate us after we've overindulged and put on a few pounds.They fuel your liver, which is your body's fat burning machine. No matter how many local,organic greens you're currently eating, consider eating more because these guys are also loaded with antioxidants and fiber.

7. Feeling Exhausted?
You may be short of B12. Though this is certainly true of everyone, a deficiency in B12 is more common in vegans because B12 is found in animal products. If you're feeling really tired and rundown, you might not be getting enough. Vegetarians can get their fill from raw cow's milk or organic.

Natural Remedy for Glowing Skin

we all want that our skin always glow, look beautiful and healthy..But if your skin is dull and dry so its a bit difficult in spite of using loads of creams. So here is a natural remedy for those having dry and dull skin:

• Take 1 tbs of vegetable oil or olive oil.

• Put 1/2 tbs of honey in it.

• Squeeze half lemon in it.

• Mix it well.

• Apply it on face and neck.

• Massage softly in circular motion for sometime till it absorbs.

• Rinse off.

Home Remedies for the Treatment of Hair Loss

1. Rosemary, which is a herb that is high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin B6, has been known to help combat dandruff.Since dandruff is a source of hair loss, the rosemary herb can also be used to treat it.Here is a simple remedy that you can use to treat hair loss:

• Put half a cup of rosemary leaves into a pan and add 2 litres of water to it.
• Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes and then let it cool.
• Strain the mixture into a container and then mix a few drops of wheat germ oil.
• Wash your hair with a mild shampoo (such as baby shampoo), and then apply the rosemary mixture evenly through your hair.
• Let it sit for 1 minute, and then wash your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Use this mixture daily.

2. Aloe Vera has been known to help balance the pH level of the scalp while also cleansing the pores.As a result, it has been used by many cultures to prevent hair loss and to promote healthy hair.A common remedy is to combine Aloe Vera gel with a small amount of wheat germ oil and coconut milk to create a shampoo that can be used daily to treat hair loss.

Best Foods to Eat for Breakfast

Oatmeal

Oats are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium.Steel-cut oats, which take about 15 minutes to cook, contain more fiber than rolled oats or instant varieties, but any type of oatmeal is a healthy choice. Just avoid the flavored kinds, which can be packed with sugar. Instead, sweeten your bowl with milk and a bit of honey, and top with fruit and nuts.

Greek yogurt

This tangy, creamy yogurt is loaded with calcium and boasts plenty of protein—nearly twice as much as regular yogurt—to keep you feeling full throughout the morning. Your best bet: Choose a plain, nonfat variety, and add some fruit to give it some sweetness and flavor

Bananas

There's nothing like a banana at breakfast to keep those mid-morning cravings at bay. The yellow fruit—especially when they're still a touch green—are one of the best sources of resistant starch, a healthy carbohydrate that keeps you feeling fuller longer.

Eggs

Eggs are now embraced as a healthy source of protein and nutrients like vitamin D.

Almond butter

Don't eat eggs or dairy? Almond butter is an excellent alternate source of protein, and it's filled with monounsaturated fat (one of the good fats).

Watermelon

 watermelon is an excellent way to hydrate in the morning. What's less well known is this juicy fruit is among the best sources of lycopene—a nutrient found in red fruits and vegetables that's important for vision, heart health, and cancer prevention.

Blueberries

Fresh or frozen, these tiny super fruits pack a big antioxidant punch. Or better yet, a flurry of punches: Studies suggest that eating blueberries regularly can help improve everything from memory and motor skills to blood pressure and metabolism. (Wild blueberries, in particular, have one of the highest concentrations of the powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins.)

Strawberries

Berries are superfoods because they're so high in antioxidants without being high in calories.One cup of strawberries, for instance, contains your full recommended daily intake of vitamin C, along with high quantities of folic acid and fiber.

Tea

All tea (black, green, or white) provides antioxidants, but green tea may be healthiest of all. Research suggests that drinking five cups a day can increase your body's metabolism and help you lose more weight around the middle.

Cantaloupe

A six-ounce serving (roughly a quarter-melon) contains just 50 calories and a full 100% of your recommended daily intake of both vitamin C and vitamin A, an important nutrient for smooth, younger-looking skin.

Kiwi

This fuzzy little fruit has about 65 milligrams of vitamin C per serving—nearly as much as an orange. It's also rich in potassium and copper and contains more fiber per ounce than a banana, which makes it a good aid to digestion. 

Raspberries

These summer favorites are the main berry source of ellagitannins, a type of antioxidant that is thought to have cancer-fighting properties. They're also high in fiber (8 grams per cup), vitamin C, and vitamin K, which helps build strong bones.
