If Your Guy Ever Does These 5 Things, DON’T MARRY HIM
Hi everyone,
As we grow old, we become wiser and learn from our mistakes mostly. But while we are madly in love sometimes we experience things with our lovers, that at the moment seem not right, but we choose to forgive and let go, and move on with the relationship, just because we are in love with the person. We do things, that cannot be explained, to the point to losing our identity, our dignity.
But, is this right? Is it better to think about it now, and NOT regret it later? How many times you did the wrong decision and regret it later on? Many times. We, women have the deepest instincts when it comes to our men and our kids. So next time, when your instinct is telling you that something is not right, listen to it.
And we are presenting you the top 5 things you MUST never forgive!
ALERT! Those of you who are reading this, know what it’s like to be in abusive relationships. Be strong, don’t be scared, because you don’t deserve to be treated that way. Nobody does! Don’t lose yourself over something you will definitely regret in the future. It’s easy to say, yes. But there is nothing worse than destroying your health, because in these situations, you never know how his actions will escalate.
Many of you might say that there are couples who after cheating ended up in better relationships. But it’s not the act of cheating the problem here. It’s the disrespect, the broken trust and the risk of health !
Cheating is completely selfish. Do you want a person who puts his wants before your needs? Say goodbye to cheats right away!
3. He doesn’t claim or proclaim you.
You want to be treated as you treat him right? Well, if you have dated more than 6 months and hi still haven’t made you an official partner, or presented you to his friends and family..no, no, something is not right.
Stop ignoring this fact, it is very important. If he finds you worth enough, he will be proud to show you in front of everybody.
If he suffers from something, of course you must be by his side. But if these hard times include his fight with demons he can’t get out for years, you’re in for disappointment. Addiction can be a major issue.
A person who suffers from addiction WILL DO ANYTHING, to get their fix, even at the price of those they love. Unless you want to be completely disappointed, leave him.
Those who have experienced, know how bad this is. Manipulative men, and men who make you crazy, like you are the one who does everything wrong, like you always forget something are the worst. A man who uses manipulative tricks to win the argument, is a selfish and controlling type of guy you don’t want in your life. These fights might increase to a major fight that you will hate your life. So don’t make the mistake, don’t be the played one, and leave him.

How have you all been? We all should take some time out for ourselves. We take care of our skin and body regularly, but how about having a full day or an ultimate night dedicated just for pampering? Sounds so great, right? So here are some ultimate relaxing tips you have to try out!
1. Aromatherapy BathBathBathBath
6. Keep Your Phone Aside, and Grab Some Tasty Treats
A pampering, relaxing night is incomplete for me if I cannot have my favorite chocolate. So I try to keep a stock of some candies and chocolates with me at home. And of course girls, keep your cell phones and laptops aside if you desire complete peace of mind.
How have you all been? We all should take some time out for ourselves. We take care of our skin and body regularly, but how about having a full day or an ultimate night dedicated just for pampering? Sounds so great, right? So here are some ultimate relaxing tips you have to try out!
1. Aromatherapy BathBathBathBath
Going out for an aromatherapy bath could be a little stressful. So, here is the best option – use some bath salts and bath goodies at home. If you are more into shower than tub baths, then you can find so many aromatherapy products in the market too. Or, you can just slip into the bath tub with some rose petals in the water and some amazingly scented candles with light music. Even if there is no bath tub, you can obviously use your favorite shower gel and some good music.
2. Stay Makeup-Free
It is quite obvious that you need to stay makeup free on the night you are planning to have a beauty pamper routine. Why burden your facial skin with a layer of extra product that is just not required? It is really important to let your face breathe, which is possible only when you stay makeup free at times. So, let some fresh air peep into your skin and provide you a healthy glow.
3. Devote Time to Your Hobbies
We get so busy in our day-to-day life that we do not even find time to finish our oh-so-favorite novels. If you are taking out a day for yourself, you can easily spend time with your book. It could be any magazine also, depending on your taste. If you are not much into books like me, then you can opt for your favorite TV show or any classic movie that you would like to watch again.
4. Some EssentialsGet
some good scented candles; my favorite fragrance is lavender. You can opt for any of your favorite – rose or jasmine, whatever you like. You also need to have some good music around; not rock music even if you are a rock chic. Opt for slow music. And also, do keep a bowl of pebbles around you or on a side table and just run your hands through it. It improves blood circulation and your hands will feel relaxed too. If you are not satisfied with your hot water bath, you can go for a spa day at your home; either book a spa therapist for your home or have a DIY spa day.

10 healthiest New Year resolutions for 2017
Hi everyone,
new is just coming here is 10 healthiest new year resolution only for you.
1. Never miss a coffee date with your friends
Make time to meet your friends even if that means letting your clothes go unwashed for a while, or driving through a jam for over an hour. There will always be commitments that will make you cancel coffee dates with your friends but don't forget that people with close friends are more capable to handle tough situations in life than those who are solitary.
While you should not beat yourself up over high calorie foods, you should also not feel guilty denying a high-calorie snack that will upset your health goals. In short, do not eat something just to please someone; however, a meal served with love could be an exception (Your mom's indulgent gajar ka halwa or saag for example).
The worst thing that you could do to yourself while trying to lose weight is to stop eating all the things you like. No matter how unhealthy your favorite foods are, do not cut them out of your diet completely. Have a small portion of your favourite food once in a while. This way you can stay away from the temptation to indulge in it.
4. Fix one meal on your own
We all have our helps to get through a busy day. Making one meal on your own not only makes it healthy (because you are aware of the quantities involved), but also helps you unwind. So choose any meal and fix it, it can be your snack as well.
Reading will help you sleep better because it puts your consciousness on another plane, which will induce sleep and also reading takes you to a fictional world that eases the tension and helps you relax better. We say specifically read from a book and not from your phone or tablet because the blue light emitted from the screen restrains the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep. Reduction in melatonin makes it harder to fall asleep.
6. Stretch your arms and legs in office
This is important if you have a desk job. Lift your legs straight up while sitting on the chair and stretch them for 30 seconds. Doing this reduces the risk of blood clots that can occur after prolonged sitting. Take occasional breaks from your laptop screen. This will help prevent dry eyes, headaches and blurry vision. Make sure you keep a distance of at least 50-60 cms between your eyes and the computer screen and there is adequate light in the room.
7. Have vegetables and fruits in 3:4 ratio
You know how important it is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day. The 3:4 ratio is a new approach to having your fruits and vegetables. This ratio requires one to have 3 different coloured vegetables, for example, Okra, tomatoes, and pumpkin along with a salad that consists 4 different colours like diakon, radish (mooli), cucumber, beetroot and carrots.
8. Drink more water
Internet is bombarded with health tips, and one of the most common is to keep yourself well hydrated. But how many of you really take this tip seriously. Not many! So this new year, ensure that your water intake is adequate. They say, for every 20 kgs, your body requires one liter of water. So make sure you are having adequate water but not intoxicating yourself. Excess water can eliminate essential salt from your body, making you feel exhausted all the time. So if you are having liquids like juices, green tea etc, accordingly adjust your water intake. Water intake should start as soon as you wake up in the morning. After a long sleep, your body gets naturally dehydrated and to refill the tank, a glass of water is required. This will also nourish your cells, and boost your metabolism.
Due to many factors, sleeping well may not completely be under your control but hitting the bed on time surely is. Decide a specific bedtime and don't wait for yourself to feel sleepy. Stick to the time and you will see a drastic change in your health. Sleep is vital for both physical and mental well-being as resting time is repairing time. Waking up groggy in the morning is a sign of bad sleep that may affect your health more than you think it would.
10. Volunteer and help others
There have been numerous studies that suggest helping others brings happiness and as we all know, happiness is good for your well-being. You can always use these positive emotions to lead a more active life. A stress-free brain is more productive than a pressurized one and helping one another only makes life simpler!
