The more we focus on our blessings the more of them we receive...

I know this can sound 'corny' but this simple method has shown its power over and over through the ages.

Focus on what you have rather than what you don't. Focus on what is right in your life rather than what is wrong.

To get you started you could start writing all your blessings down. I believe this is very positive to do just before sleep. It sends you off to the 'Land of Nod' in a positive frame of mind.

I think meditation creates a happier frame of mind effortlessly. If you don't already meditate here's an easy meditation technique to try.

August 15, 2006 10:10 - Sleep Tips for Sweet Dreams!

As you know, lack of sleep can really take away much of the joy of living.

I've just been to London and back via the sleeper train [from Inverness] I made the horrible mistake of booking a reclining seat as opposed to a proper berth.

Consequently I did not sleep at all well, and it slightly spoilt my little holiday...

Next time I will definitely book a berth!

So we're probably all agreed that lack of sleep is just horrible. If you're having trouble sleeping a good way to 'drop off' is to just lie there focusing on your breathing. Don't try and change it, just focus on it. You'll probably be asleep in no time. And even if it takes a little while it's deeply relaxing in itself.

That's just one tip but you'll find lots more on my Natural Sleep Aids page

Sweet dreams!

August 17, 2006 15:11 - Economical and Effective Teeth Whitening

Do you want whiter teeth but either don't want to visit the dentist or don't want to pay high prices?

I find good old fashioned Eucryl toothpowder makes the teeth look whiter in no time. Apparently it's been around since 1900! It's excellent for removing stains caused by tea, smoking, red wine etc.

One of my friends always used to 'steal' her dad's Eucryl and she said that people were always commenting on her extra white teeth!

I don't think this product is available worldwide, but it is widely available in the UK. However, I think it is usually available on ebay. You might enjoy visiting Eucryl.co.uk. It's a fun looking site!

Or you could visit my existing teeth whitening page for another economical whiter teeth tip!

August 24, 2006 13:43 - Best Weight Loss Tip!

The best tip I know to aid weight loss is...

When you are eating, eat! Don't do anything else. Obviously you've got to breathe! But avoid reading or watching TV etc.

When we're genuinely hungry we enjoy simply focusing on our food. Bliss! However, if while eating we start to 'itch to pick up that book' it's a good sign our digestive system has had enough for now.

Unconscious eating is a good way to pile on the pounds. So the opposite is a good way to lose the pounds...

So put your attention on your delicious food, eat slowly...

and enjoy!

P.S. Here's my favouite quick weight loss and detox plan.

August 31, 2006 14:54 - Help for Stress Related Abdominal Fat.

As you might know stress can increase cortisol production. Unfortunately excess cortisol can lead to excess abdominal fat. Not good! So obviously the way to decrease the abdominal fat is to decrease the cortisol be decreasing the stress.

I believe the best way to do that is by meditating. You probably get bored of me saying there is a freeby easy meditation technique on this site...

But effective at it is you may want some more help with reducing that tummy faster. You may want to try Relacore, which is a 'Stress Related Abdominal Obesity Supplement'.

I only discovered Relacore today as I was browsing. It looked so interesting that I though I'd make it today's blog!

September 5, 2006 16:00 - Are your cosmetics safe? Find out now!

I've just visited Skindeep at ewg.org and was shocked to find that some of my favourite cosmetics have some pretty scary ingredients...

But no problem, because there are lots of fabulous, lower risk substitutes.

Here's some of what the Skindeep homepage has to say:

'Did you know: the government cannot mandate safety studies of cosmetics, and only 11 percent of the 10,500 ingredients FDA has documented in products have been assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry's review panel. Explore your products with Skin Deep's in-depth rating guides, and find safer choices for you and your family.'

So, of you're concerned just visit Skindeep and search the database of 14,841 products [at time of writing this].

I've spent most of today researching, throwing things in the bin and ordering new, and safer, products. Look at it as a good excuse to shop for new skincare and makeup!
