Give Yourself a Moment
When there's something that needs to be done,
give yourself a moment to do it.
When there's a decision that must be made,
give yourself a moment to think it through.
When life demands a response, give yourself a moment
to find the most positive and meaningful one.
When someone is explaining something to you, give yourself a moment to truly listen and to understand.
Life is made up of many moments, one right after another.
The big outcomes, results and achievements
depend on what you do with all those little moments along the way.
With each moment you can choose to let it pass or
to let it bring you down.
Or, you can decide to make good use of that moment
with positive purpose, value and love.
How many times have you looked back on your life
with regret, and wished you had given yourself a moment to do what could have easily been done?
Now is your opportunity to avoid such future regrets
by recognizing the great value in each moment.
When life is asking something of you, give yourself
a moment to make it right.
And when you add up all those moments,
you'll find you've made life great.

HOME REMEDIES FOR PEELING SKIN
HOME REMEDIES FOR PEELING SKIN
To understand the reasons behind peeling skin one needs to understand the structure of the skin. The skin consists of three basic layers: the outer layer or epidermis, the middle layer or dermis and the inner layer referred to as hypodermis. Each of these layers provides a particular function and is in a continuous state of change. Every 28 days the epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, is completely replaced once. The 28 day change, in the outer cover of the skin, is influenced by various factors such as hydration, friction, sun exposure and various other environmental issues.
Peeling skin is therefore a temporary problem and is known to heal in a few days as the new skin surfaces. Though there are few exceptions such as: in case of infections or medications that cause the skin to peel or a hereditary disorder known as Peeling Skin Syndrome, all of which may require medical consultation to cure peeling skin. Some of the known causes leading to this skin disorder are: excessive perspiration, staph or viral infections, or excessive sun exposure resulting in sunburn. Sunburn is one of the most common causes known that lead to peeling skin. As sunburn heats the top layers of the skin it begins to peel naturally. Therefore, peeling skin is rarely ever considered as a fatal or harmful disorder. One can regain natural skin in a couple of days or a quick visit to the general physician will ensure faster recovery.

Home Remedies to Get Rid of Flies
Home Remedies to Get Rid of Flies
Home Remedies to Get Rid of Flies
Leave the kitchen door ajar or windows wide open, and you could face the irritating buzz of a couple of unwanted friends. Flies are pesky insects that torment you in the middle of the night and land on your food – ruining your appetite at the very least and spreading diseases at the most. Before you buy sticky strips and chemical sprays, consider fighting back with a couple of home remedies to get rid of flies.
FLY HOME REMEDIES
Getting rid of flies is important because they aren’t the cleanest of creatures. For example, houseflies can spread about 200 pathogens and parasites to humans [1]. To get rid of flies, consider the following remedies for flies:
a) Cayenne Pepper:
Add cayenne pepper to a spray bottle and fill with water. Halfway through, shake the bottle to make sure the cayenne pepper dissolves in the water. Around the house, spray the corners and cracks to get rid of flies.
b) Apple Cider Vinegar:
Fill a small cup with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and lemon-scented dishwashing liquid. The aroma and sweet scent of the contents will attract flies. When they come to investigate, they often get too close and drown in the liquid. Hopefully, this will help you decrease the number of flies in your home.
c) Plant and Herbs:
Flies tend to stay away from places where marigolds, lavender, basil or mint are growing. Plant items offensive to flies around the house and in windowsill boxes.
d) Put a Lid on It:
Flies follow the scent of garbage; therefore it is in your best interest to keep lids sealed tightly on your indoor and outdoor garbage cans.
e) Homemade Flypaper:
No need to waste your money on flypaper when you can make your own. The materials you’ll need is a brown paper bag, scissors, string, ½ cup of sweet maple syrup, two tablespoons of brown sugar, two tablespoons of white sugar, and a shallow pan. Combine the syrup and sugars together in a shallow pan. Cut the paper bag into 1-inch wide strips. In the top of each strip, poke a hole. Thread a string through each hole. Soak the strips in the sugary mixture for about eight hours. After removing the strips from the mixture, hang them in an area where flies frequent after they stop dripping.
f) Clean Up Animal Feces:
One of the biggest things to attract flies is animal feces. If you own a cat or dog that does their business outside, it’s especially important that you keep your outdoor spaces free of poop. Make sure to bury feces in the backyard, flush down the toilet, or seal in bags placed deep in a trash can to get rid of flies that may try to enter your home.
g) Plastic Bags:
Sounds odd, but some people have been able to get rid of flies by hanging clear plastic bags of water near outdoor entryways. This home remedy takes advantage of the poor eyesight and natural behavior of flies. Clear bags of water catch light, which actually mimics the appearance of a spider’s web. Others believe that the water causes the fly to feel disoriented, and can be used to repel and get rid of flies. Fill gallon-size bags of water halfway full and suspend the bags close to entryways, garage doors, and places where flies gather.
h) Old CDs:
Working in the same manner as the bag of water method, hang a couple of old CDs by the entrance of a door to discourage flies from entering your home.
i) Cinnamon:
Flies seem not to like the scent of cinnamon, which would make a good choice for air fresheners.
j) Dishwashing Liquid:
Mix two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with water in a spray bottle and gently shake to blend. Whenever you see a fly, spray it. The soap will coat their wings and make it hard for them to fly. This home remedy is good for households with children and pets since it does not contain harmful chemicals.

Why I Love Being a Woman!
Why I Love Being a Woman!
The best bit about being a woman is wielding the power to create and nurture while enjoying the thought of being a beautiful creation herself
THE thrill is not just in being a woman, but being a woman in the right century! And in this day and age, there cannot be many women, who do not revel in their sheer femininity and absolute power! As we all know, femininity and power, far from being mutually exclusive, are two sides of the same coin. Think Shakti, the divine, feminine, creative power! The Power responsible not just for all creation, but the agent of all change as well.
I cannot believe any woman not feeling this great sense of empowerment and well-being that springs from within. The power to create, nurture and heal that is a part of her very being, endows her with unique abilities, positioning her as the centre of all existence and change around her.
When Lord Byron wrote She walks in beauty, I’m sure he talked not just of the grace and deport of a woman, but was able to pierce through to her very core, which provides the majestic aura she walks within. To me, every woman who is allowed to grow unfettered, exercising her free will, is bound to walk in beauty!
What is it that a woman enjoys the most about being the fairer sex? I would say her ability to revel in her power, as much as the freedom to indulge her weakness. She is admired for being strong and loved for being frail and helpless; she can rave and rant when crazed with anger, and the next minute melt into a puddle of helpless love. She can enjoy her many moods and feminine aspects without having to abide by adages or the need to be strong all the time. A woman’s intuitive understanding of life and relationships, and her role as the great bonding factor in a family are unique strengths that she does not share with the opposite sex.
The depths of passion in her eyes, the wealth of caring in her heart, the power of resilience, of survival are all qualities a woman enjoys, growing more beautiful and understanding with the years.
As usual, my Facebook friends (I appealed to only women) had interesting insights to share. Each one of them loves being a woman and with one exception, they all want to be reborn female! Madhulika Dash applauds a woman’s “sense of compassion…... and the ability to infuse life into whatever we touch...”; Anjali Bhargava says, “The sheer strength a woman has… epitomises the completeness in a being. I revel in the sensuous, intoxicating power of being a woman!” Deepika Sahu wouldn’t trade her world as a woman for anything else — a world “so very full of colours, variety, ability/desire to give without calculating, love, sensuality, tenderness, sensitivity… and of course gorgeous men who make me feel like a queen!”
Pramila Maheshwari quips, “Shiva or Sati? Always the fairer one is the choice — she is happening, life, creation, nurturing — all activity is at her end.” Madhu Kamath says, “We are an unprecedented intricate, beautiful and unique piece of creation!!” Harmesh Khanna loves the “fact that we don’t have to hide our feelings or keep a stiff upper lip at all times...our ability to keep going in the toughest of times ...of being ourselves, of getting pampered.”
If you need to hear what the stars say, Katrina Kaif loves the fact that she can be “soft and feminine and yet a successful working woman”, Sonam Kapoor loves being a woman because of “the ability to create life.” Marilyn Monroe said, “I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.”
A naughty friend says, “Chuck all that, I love the fact that I can get the strongest man down to his knees in a puddle of desire if I set my mind to it. Why would I want to be that man!”
Why indeed! And to support her, here we have it from the Father of all politicians — wily statesman Chanakya, “The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman!”
