8 Best Non-Sexual Things That Give Us So Much Pleasure & Joy

Best Non-Sexual feelings: 8 Best Non-Sexual Things That Give Us So Much Pleasure & Joy Surya Sathya Narayanan

Hyderabd040-395603080 September 11, 2019

Human’s search for pleasure and joy dates back to ages unknown. That probably gave birth to the ideas of music, painting, dance and the list goes on. However, today, the concept of pleasure and joy is tightly linked to intimacy. Many people tend to believe that making love is one of the strongest means of pleasure and joy. True. It does produce chemical in the brains that makes one feel happy. However, there are several other things out there that produce similar feelings of joy and pleasure to us.

Here, we bring to you a list of non-sexual things that give a feeling of pleasure and joy. Read on!

#8 – Opening Up Of A Block Nose

Being able to smell the things around us is the most underrated feelings ever. Don’t believe us? Imagine having a cold and a clogged nose. How do you think that feels? Not being able to smell the morning air, the flowers or even your morning coffee. That is horrible. It is a mini version of hell in itself. And, after days of not being able to smell anything, when that nose finally unclogs, you can feel heaven right there in your nose. It almost feels like a blind person being able to see again.

#7 – Internet Speed Going Up

This is something that no one in today’s generation is unfamiliar with. The plight of trying to work on that last moment project or a quotation for your client. The situation could even be something as simple as getting on a video call with your friends or watching an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. And then, the net slows down and Ross’s talk goes slower than usual. Out of the blue, we have a miracle and the internet gets faster. That is a feeling that is completely unmatched. There are many of us who will remain absolutely motionless to ensure that the net continues to work as fast as it did.

#6 – Stretching Your Leg After Sitting For Too Long

There are plenty of times we sit absolutely motionless. This could be the night before an exam, during an exam, long conferences, long trips, or worst, a long flight journey. After you finish with that, getting on your feet and stretching can make you feel like you just entered paradise. It is a feeling that is nearly unparalleled.

#5 – Peeing After Holding On For Really Long

You just let out a sigh of relief, didn’t you? Well, this is something that hits hardest when you least expect it to happen. At the bar after a few pints of beer, having to stand in the line to use the restroom is a punishment created by the Devil himself. Or, sitting through a long meeting in a conference room with the AC turned dangerously low. This is worse if you have just finished your water therapy all morning. And, when you get into that restroom and relieve, it is not just pee. It is a lot of emotions that get released with them. Absolute bliss!

#4 – Clearing The Air After Bad Argument With Your Best Friend

It hurt real bad when you have a pointless argument with your bestie and then, go on to not talk for days together. After all the silence and tunneling under the streets to avoid each other, when your friend reaches out to you with an “I miss you, idiot,” the lights go dim and you can feel the world blurring out. That feeling of joy cannot be explained in words.

#3 – Getting A Compliment From Your Crush

Hell yeah! You know that feeling. The one person you look up to and admire comes up to you and tells you that you look good. The world shuts down and your face turns hot. That, dear one, is a joy that cannot be matched by anything else.

#2 – The Last Payment Of Your Loan

After months or years of cutting corners to save money and make ends meet, that final feeling when you make the last payment of your loan, it feels like a big burden is lifted off your head. And, that feeling is very close to salvation itself.

#1 – When Your Dog Comes And Snuggles With You

At your lowest, when you are tired of your head and you want the day to end. You are just sitting there waiting for it to be bedtime, or you are already in bed waiting to fall asleep. Suddenly you bed moves and you sense the presence of someone else. Out of nowhere, you feel a little wet nose sticking to your face and then a soft warm ball of fur rolling up beside you. Yes, the feeling of your dog snuggling up to you randomly is probably the best feeling ever. The warmth, love and soft breath are therapeutic in itself.

So, that was our list of non-sexual things that can give an immense feeling of joy and happiness. What do you think of our list? What things make you feel happy and peaceful? Let us know in the comment section below.

“I Am A Hidden Model”: Kareena Kapoor Turns Showstopper At Lakme Fashion Week Grand Finale

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/i-am-a-hidden-model-kareena-kapoor-turns-showstopper-at-lakme-fashion-week-grand-finale/

“I Am A Hidden Model”: Kareena Kapoor Turns Showstopper At Lakme Fashion Week Grand Finale

“I Am A Hidden Model”: Kareena Kapoor Turns Showstopper At Lakme Fashion Week Grand Finale Niharika Nayak

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 18, 2020

There is no statement that holds truer than this one: Kareena Kapoor is an absolute #FashionIcon. Besides playing some of the most stylish and diva characters to grace Bollywood’s big screen, Kareena has also modeled for some of the biggest names in fashion. With a name that is almost eponymous with fashion, it’s no wonder some of the biggest designers in the industry love working with her. The queen of fashion graced the runway at Lakme Fashion Week 2020 and to be honest, we’re still very shook:

What It Takes To Be A Showstopper

amitaggarwalofficial / Instagram

The Tashan actress looked absolutely fabulous as she confidently strode across the ramp in an iconic emerald green strapless ball gown. The corset of the ensemble was heart-shaped and featured a deep plunging neckline. Engineered to perfection, the outfit featured the designer’s signature polymers woven into the fabric to create a 3D-like effect and firmness. The actress looked absolutely stunning with her hair slicked back in a tight bun. She kept her makeup simple and chose to go with a nude look rather than her usual bold style. The actress was quoted as saying, “I’m wearing Amit for the first time and also one of my favorite colors. He has designed the outfit specifically for me and I feel very alive and s*xy tonight. The only one missing from the crowd is my husband. He should have come because I’m feeling fabulous.” The outfit looked almost reptilian and alienesque and there’s nobody who would have rocked it better than Kareena. The actress also admitted to feeling like a hidden model sometimes. She said, “I love walking the ramp. Maybe I’m a hidden model. I get to meet such beautiful designers, wear their clothes, feel so special. I like it and I enjoy working with all of them.” The actress enjoyed walking the ramp and admitted she likes Amit’s collection. According to Kareena the colors in this collection will be much loved by women for its uniqueness and futuristic vibe. The fashion designer himself admitted that he saw nobody except Kareena Kapoor carrying off his design. He explained that she added a whole new level of charm and elegance to the outfit.

#BetterIn3D

The theme of this season was all about futuristic fashion and featured creations from designers across the country. Kareena walked for the ace designer, Amit Aggarwal. The Delhi-based designer showcased some of his best pieces from the collection and did not fail to disappoint with his massive range. His futuristic designs featured metallic motifs, deep cuts, and dark colors, keeping with the theme of the event. The event’s finale took place in the iconic, Mukesh Mills, a prime shooting location in Mumbai. The exotic collection featured sharply designed ensembles featuring intricate patterns in mauve, violet, berry, silver, green and red. The fabrics that were used to create these highly structured outfits included tulle, organza, and chiffon. The venue was specially crafted for the show and featured 3D projections on the walls which were in sync with the color scheme of the collection and made for quite a spectacle.

Lakme Fashion Week 2020

amitaggarwalofficial / Instagram

Lakme Fashion Week is a semi-annual occasion and completes 20 years, this year. Kareena, who is the brand ambassador of Lakme, has been affiliated with Lakme Fashion Week for the past 11 years. Discussing her relationship with Lakme, she had stated that the brand is synonymous with her and that it has increased the value of her profession. As everybody knows, truly, there is no Lakme Fashion Week finale that is finished without Kareena and she exhibited pride and a lot of respect when she stated that. The actress stated that she will be affiliated with LFW and that the affiliation isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. However, the actress stated that the audience sadly won’t be seeing her next season.

boxofficestats / Instagram

Besides Lakme Fashion Week, the actress will next be seen playing a lead role in Homi Adjania’s Angrezi Medium. The movie is a spin-off of the successful 2017 movie, Hindi Medium. The movie also stars Irfan Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Deepak Dobriyal, Ranveer Shorey and newcomer Radhika Madan. The film is set to be released on the 13th of March 2020.

therealkareenakapoor / Instagram

So, Lakme Fashion Week turned out to be one spectacular event didn’t it? The ramp was graced by not just movie stars and models but also by talented sports-women like Indian women’s cricket team captain, Mithali Raj, who made her fashion debut on the Lakme Fashion Week runway. Kareena wasn’t the only one from her family to grace the stage, however. Her sister-in-law, Soha Ali Khan also rocked a super classy rocker chick outfit and played showstopper for designer Shahin Mannan.

10 Best Coconut Oil-Based Products For Curly Hair

10 Best Coconut Oil-Based Products For Curly Hair

10 Best Coconut Oil-Based Products For Curly Hair Ivanna Quilley

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 17, 2020

Having curly hair can be both a blessing and a curse. If you have been blessed with curly hair, then you’re probably used to receiving dozens of compliments about it daily.

Now let’s take a look at some of the things to keep in mind before purchasing a coconut oil-based product.

Types Of Coconut Oil

The two main kinds of coconut oil available in the market are refined and unrefined coconut oil. Refined oil, unlike unrefined oil, has no smell to it and is made from dried copras instead of fresh coconut. Refined oil also goes through a number of processes before being packed for use.

How To Use Coconut Oil For Curly Hair

Coconut oil has multiple uses. It can be used as a daily detangler, as a pre-wash conditioner, and even to enhance scalp health. To use coconut oil, simply pour it into a container and then using the tips of your fingers, pick up the product, and gently massage it from the root of your hair to its tip. If you would like to use it along with your dye, then mix it with the dye and apply it to your hair as you normally would.

How To Choose The Best Coconut Oil

When choosing a coconut oil or a coconut oil-based product, here are a few things to look out for:

Organic: Ensure the coconut oil you buy is 100% virgin and organic.

Cold-pressed: Coconut oil that is cold-pressed means that no heat was used when processing it. Check the label on the product before buying it to ensure that the oil was manufactured in this way.

Type: Choose between unrefined and refined oil before making your purchase. A great way to know if your oil is refined or unrefined is by noticing it after keeping it in a cool room for a few hours. Unrefined oil generally starts to solidify.

Now that you have all the relevant information about coconut oil, you can go ahead and purchase any of the products we mentioned above. They are among the best sellers and are a great investment. Let us know which one made you most curious in the comments section!

Dryer does not heat up enough and may not be suitable for thick or coarse hair

There you have it; these are some of the bestselling dryers under $100! But before you decide to invest in one, here are some important points we believe you must consider before you shop for a dryer.

How To Choose A Hair Dryer?

Here’s a buying guide that’ll help you pick the perfect hair dryer for your hair:

Hair type – If you are under the impression that all hair dryers are suitable for all hair types, then you are mistaken. Some may be powerful enough for thick and coarse hair but too strong for fine or thin hair. So make sure you buy a hairdryer that suits your hair type.

Types of dryers – There are ionic or tourmaline dryers that emit heat, making your hair softer, shiner, and less frizzy. Ceramic, infrared, and porcelain-based dryers lock in the moisture and cause less heat damage. Titanium-based dryers dry hair quickly but are not suitable for thin hair.

Heat settings – Some people like hot drying while some prefer cold. There are generally three types of settings: hot, warm, and cool. Make sure to check the settings before you buy the device as you do not want heat spots if your scalp and hair are sensitive to heat.

Airflow speed – The faster or higher the pressure of airflow, the lesser the time you’ll spend drying your hair. Not all dryers offer the same airflow, so you will have to choose one accordingly.

Power and wattage– Ideally, using a hairdryer with 1500W or higher power rating ensures efficient styling. Higher the rating, lesser the time spent drying your hair. However, for thick hair, one should go for a dryer between 1800 to 2000W.

Find the right attachments – Find a dryer that fulfills all your needs. If you are planning to invest in one, make sure you pay attention to your styling needs. A diffuser, concentrator, and comb nozzles help you style your hair to give a salon-like finish at home.

Safety Tips While Using A Hair Dryer

Now that you know how to choose the right dryer for yourselves, here are some safety tips to remember:

Do not use your dryer in the bathroom, near the sink, or anywhere near water.

If the dryer falls into the tub, unplug the cord immediately.

Unplug the cord after use and leave it to cool down before you pack.

Keep an eye out for any damage to the cord to avoid the risk of short circuits or shocks.

Do not clean the dryer with water or submerge it in water and make sure the cord doesn’t get wet.

While using the dryer, do not block the airflow.

Unplug the cord, let it cool down before cleaning it.

No more salon visits to have a good hair day when you can get it at a pocket-friendly cost with one of these best selling hair dryers under $100! Pick the one that suits your hair type, and your morning or evening hair drying routine is sorted. Do you think we missed out on your favorite hair dryer or have queries regarding this post?

#Couplegoals: Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh Walk the Lakme Fashion Week 2020 In Twinning Outfits Bency Sebastian

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 17, 2020

Many things make a couple a favorite among their fans. From how they are which each other to the cutesy pictures they share on social media, everything plays a role in making them fans’ favorites. Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh has always been a power couple and their lovey-dovey posts on social media have garnered them a huge fan base among netizens. Recently, Genelia shared a cute video on Instagram during Christmas and we all went heart eyes on it. You know the video I’m talking about… the one in which Riteish is tying Genelia’s tie with All I Want For Christmas Is You playing in the background. They have also been taking the internet by storm with their TikTok videos and now once again they have managed to make news and set couple goals for fans everywhere as they walked together while twinning at the Lakme Fashion Week 2020.

The Lakme Fashion Week 2020 hit its 20th anniversary as one of the biggest fashion events in the country. It was a five-day-long splendid event that took place in Mumbai and showcased 30 Gen Next designers who debuted their collections at the event over the past 20 years. Seasoned designers like Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi were some among the others who came together for a nostalgic showcase of a modern spin on their first-ever designs. Several celebrities walked the ramp in exquisite designs and among them were one of the cutest couples on the block, Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh. Apart from couple goals, they also gave us major twinning goals as they walked the ramp for LFW 2020.

India Today

This year’s theme for the LFW was #BetterIn3D and the event saw some ingenious and exclusive designs by esteemed designers like Manish Malhotra, Amit Aggarwal, Kunal Rawal, and Pankaj & Nidhi, among others. Designer Ritu Kumar collaborated with EcoVero and made a comeback to the runway. Riteish and Genelia walked the ramp for designer Kunal Anil Tanna in a checkered ensemble. The adorable Genelia wore checkered coordinates while her dearest hubby wore a checkered sweatshirt with blue pants. They looked charming and delightful.

A Fairytale Love Story

geneliad / Instagram

It was the year 2002 when they first met for the test shoot of Tujhe Meri Kasam. Genelia was just 16 years old at that time and arrived at Hyderabad airport for the shoot where she met Riteish, who was 24 years old. They got along very well on the sets of the film and soon became best friends on and off the sets. In an interview, Genelia said that the minute she spoke to him, she realized that he was a nice person. She also said, “I found it endearing how he was so respectful of my parents and elders.” She said that Riteish binds people on the set and even though she did not know anything about films, he made it look easy.

This fairytale of best friends falling in love with each other happened slowly as they got to know each other. There was no formal proposal, no candlelight dates or anything so cheesy. They got to know each other and slowly but irrevocably fell in love. Their love story is every girl’s dream of marrying their best friend and these two cuties made it look like a piece of cake.

riteishd / Instagram

They met in 2002, became best friends almost instantly and over time, fell in love. After a nine-year-long relationship, they decided to tie the knot in 2012. They had a magnificent Marathi-style wedding and then a traditional Christian church wedding which was attended by Bollywood’s big stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. The real beauty of their relationship is that the youngest couple of Bollywood grew up together, quite literally. Not only were they the best of friends who stood by each other but they do not know when the “love” officially happened. It’s just that they grew fond of each other and decided to build a beautiful life together.

#Couplegoals Without A Doubt

geneliad / Instagram

Genelia is a doting wife and supports her beloved hubby unconditionally and Riteish too adores his wife and stands by her. The couple was blessed with two baby boys, Riaan and Rahyl, in two years. The four of them are often seen spending time together, playing and cuddling as one big happy family. The best part of their relationship is the mutual understanding and support that they share for each other. They have a strong bond of commitment and respect for each other and even after all these years are the best of friends. The friendship and love that exists between Riteish and Genelia is the reason for a happy, cute and successful marriage.

geneliad / Instagram

Riteish and Genelia’s relationship evolved from co-stars to best friends to life partners and even today they are one of the cutest couples of Bollywood. Their love story is so endearing that it makes us believe in true love. What is your favorite Deshmukh couple moment? Let us know in the comments below.

17 Signs Of Manipulation

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/17-signs-of-manipulation/

17 Signs Of Manipulation

17 Signs Of Manipulation Harini Natarajan

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 14, 2020

Doyou know a particular person who always gets what they want, when they want? Have you been awed by this person’s perseverance, and yet, felt a little bit of distaste with the situation because something didn’t seem right? Well, if you thought that they were taking advantage of you (or someone else), you are right. There are many people who are master manipulators when it comes to relationships, work, and life. Usually, such manipulators are also incredibly narcissistic (1). They also have high emotional intelligence, which they use to tune in on other people’s needs that they then use to emotionally manipulate them (2).

Signs Of Manipulation

Shutterstock

1. Denial

Manipulators are professionals at denying and lying. If someone hurts your feelings and you point out their bad behavior, they will deny it even though they obviously behaved badly. You should be careful here. Don’t let their denial confuse you or make you doubt yourself.

2. Charm And Niceness

A manipulator will use charm to achieve sex or power. Charm comes easily to them because they are ruthless creatures. They have no qualms about hurting others. A normal person will not use dirty tricks to seduce someone, but a manipulator will do so easily. Manipulators study human behavior. They spend time with others to find out their desires and needs. Once they find that out, they offer you the same thing to get you to depend on them. If someone is overly charming and alluring towards you, you need to think about what that person could want from you.

3. Lying

A manipulator’s most potent weapon is lying. They don’t have a conscience, so they don’t really feel bad about lying to others. If there is a chance to achieve what they want by lying, they will certainly do so. Manipulators generally lie in subtle ways. They often withhold a significant amount of information from you or distort the truth.

4. Excessive Flattery And Compliments

Excessive or untrue compliments should be a red flag for you. Pay close attention to what’s coming. You need to ask yourself – what does this person really want from me?

Shutterstock

5. Generous With Favors And Gifts

A manipulator may appear very sympathetic, kind, and generous towards you at the beginning of a relationship. They may give you expensive gifts, which you may interpret as an expression of affection or love. But, in reality, they are just bribing you to get bigger favors in return in the future.

6. Forced Teaming

This is a strategy used by con artists and manipulators to create a sense of oneness with their selected victim. They make frequent use of the word ‘we.’ They will try to project a shared experience or purpose with you where none really exists. They may use phrases such as, “We are a great team”, “How are we going to handle this one?”, and”both of us.” The best manipulators make the victim want to participate.

7. Pretending To Be A Victim

Manipulators may pretend to be victims of situations, circumstances, or the misbehavior of someone in order to make you feel sympathy for them. When someone tries to seek your sympathy, observe that person closely and try to decipher whether they are really a victim. A manipulator will often talk about abuse or a stressful event in a cool, calm, and detached way.

8. Good First Impression

Manipulators often make great first impressions. They have dazzling looks, impeccable manners, or a winning smile to distract others from their real intentions. A manipulator may create a very good first impression, but their mask will come off when you spend time with them.

9. Pretend To Be Selfless

Manipulators keep their ambitions, intentions, and hunger for power quite well hidden, so the first few times you meet them, you may even find them to be a helpful and selfless person. They use this tactic to hide their self-serving agendas.

Shutterstock

10. Silent Treatment

Using the ”silent treatment” is a warning sign that you may be dealing with a manipulator. It is a form of (passive-aggressive) emotional abuse in which disapproval, displeasure, anger, and contempt are exhibited by maintaining silence and using non-verbal gestures. If they are a sadistic manipulator, they might even use silent treatment just to torture you.

11. Guilt Tripping

Pay attention to people who try to make you feel guilty often. The chances are that this person is manipulating you. Manipulators exploit their victim’s good nature. They want to keep them in an anxious, guilt-ridden, self-doubting, and submissive position.

12. Shaming

If a person often says insulting or hurtful things about your family, weight, appearance, or employment, take this as a warning sign. Manipulators pay close attention to others’ insecurities and weak points and use these against them. They use shaming to make their victim feel unworthy or inadequate and, therefore, be submissive to them.

13. Intimidation

Manipulators use covert intimidation. Their threats are often veiled. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, pay close attention to their expressions, glances, non-verbal gestures, and stares when they talk to you. A manipulator will twist the reality in order to make you doubt your own beliefs and perceptions.

14. Rationalization

Manipulative people always try to offer a “rational” explanation for engaging in inappropriate or hurtful behaviors. It can be quiet an effective tactic, especially when the explanations offered make just the right amount of sense to make any reasonably conscientious person fall for it.

15. Gas Lighting

This is a super powerful tactic used by manipulators. It means twisting the reality for a purpose. A manipulator can be considered a genius when it comes to twisting the reality in order to serve their own purposes. It doesn’t really matter what the truth is, they will make it seem that it is really your fault. By the time they are done with you, you will become so mentally ill that you won’t be able to trust your own perceptions.

16. Diversion

Whenever you try to keep a discussion on a single issue or behavior, they try to dodge the issue or change the subject. At this point, you need to stay alert. They use diversion and distraction techniques to move people off-track, keep the focus off their own bad behavior, and promote their self-serving agenda.

17. Unsettling Stare

Shutterstock

Eyes are the windows to the soul. Eyes provide information about the person they belong to, especially when the message they convey appears inconsistent with their verbal behavior and facial expressions. In such cases, you should not ignore the information given out by their eyes. Some respond to this stare with discomfort, while others get hypnotized by them.

All of this may sound unsettling, but the good news is that you can deal with manipulative people effectively. Check out the next section to find out how.

How To Deal With Manipulative People

Manipulators can drive you completely crazy because their behavior can be so irrational. Make no mistake — their manipulative behavior goes against reason. So, why do you allow them to emotionally suck your energy? The more off-base and irrational a person is, the easier it should actually be for you to disentangle yourself from their trap. Stop trying to beat them at this game. Distance yourself from them and the situation them emotionally and conduct your interactions with them like you are their therapist. You are not required to respond to the emotional chaos they bring. Just focus on the facts.

However, maintaining emotional distance requires awareness on your part. You can’t stop a person from pushing the buttons that drive you crazy if you don’t even recognize when it is happening. Sometimes, you will find yourself in situations where you will need to retreat and regroup to think of the best way to deal with them. This is totally fine, and you should never be afraid to give yourself some time to do so. Most people think that because they live or work with someone, they have no way to extract themselves from the chaos. This could not be further from the truth. Once you have identified the manipulator, you will be able to predict their behavior. It will get easier for you to identify and understand the manipulations. It will also enable you to make rational decisions about when and where you should put up with them – and when and where you shouldn’t. You will have to establish boundaries, but you will have to do so proactively and consciously. If you allow things to happen naturally, you are bound to find yourself constantly entangled in conflict. If you set proper boundaries and decide when and where you will engage a manipulative person, you will be able to control most of the chaos. The trick is to stick to your guns, not be afraid, and keep boundaries in place when a manipulator tries to cross them – which they will definitely try to.

Manipulators can affect and undermine your sense of self and force you to doubt your own sanity. However, you need to remember this – nobody can ever manipulate you without your consent.

5 Signs Your Personality Might Be Intimidating To Others

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/5-signs-your-personality-might-be-intimidating-to-others/

5 Signs Your Personality Might Be Intimidating To Others

5 Signs Your Personality Might Be Intimidating To Others Niharika Nayak

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 14, 2020

Sometimes we display certain traits that might not necessarily be adding plus points to our personality. It’s not that we want to be nasty towards others, it’s just that we can’t help but display these traits. In some cases you may notice yourself pushing people you love away from you because of these very traits. On the other hand, you might visualize these traits as positive but it starts to affect someone’s perception of you. Here are a couple of traits that might not necessarily be very negative, but tend to drive people away:

1. You’re Brutally Honest

Shutterstock

Honesty is something you consider essential for any relationship, be it work, romantic or even platonic relationships. You’re extremely honest with those around you, even if it means telling them the cold hard truth or being extremely blunt and hurting their feelings. You never sugarcoat something and don’t really care about delivering the message in the right way. If someone asks for your opinion you’re often overly critical and blunt with them and they might get upset easily. However, it’s not all negative. Your honest nature makes you the best secret keeper on the block! When you make promises to other people, you keep them. This can sometimes draw the envy of those who are less honest. After all, you can’t have any secrets if you’re an open book.

2. Small Talk Isn’t Your Thing

Shutterstock

Everyone in the professional world knows that a little small talk is required before you get straight to business. Not you though. You can’t stand the idea of wasting time chitter chattering about your personal lives or how your day is going. Small talk seems extremely pointless to you and you’d rather get straight to the point than sit and discuss smaller and more irrelevant details. As a result of this attitude, you skip the banter and dive right into the topic at hand. Thus, you don’t get to know your colleagues or business partners very well and may come across as rude and cold. Since most people use small talk as a way to break the ice, it’s best not to skip it. If you feel uncomfortable indulging in it and feel like you are wasting too much time on it, keep it short and crisp. This will help others warm up to you and open up to the idea of communicating with you.

3. You Can’t Tolerate Ignorant People

Shutterstock

While you’re the type of person who likes to keep an open mind and are all about learning new things and gaining new experiences, not everyone can safely say the same. And so when you meet people who behave in an extremely judgmental manner, it really can get on your nerves. For this very reason, you try your best to avoid any kind of confrontation with these types of people. In worse scenarios, you end up holding back and losing your temper with the person and getting overly emotional. While it’s completely alright to have zero tolerance towards ignorance, sometimes you just have to let certain things go. Sometimes people simply don’t like being dragged out of their comfort zone so they feel threatened when you challenge them or they might perceive you as a threat.

4. You Can’t Stand People Who Complain

Shutterstock

If there’s one thing you cannot tolerate, it’s people who make excuses and don’t deal with their problems. You know the type, the kind of people who have excuses at their fingertips like you have pizza on your speed dial. You can’t stand when people wallow in their self pity and refuse to lift themselves up and get on with life. Be it small excuses like, “I got late because of traffic” or bigger ones like, “I forgot to add those images to today’s presentation because I was feeling sick.” For you, working with these types of people feels like a total waste of time. People might perceive you as cold and ruthless, but you know better. The best way to deal with this is to have an upfront and honest conversation with the person about this. Express why it’s not okay to keep using excuses in a professional setting and ask them to explain what exactly the problem is.

5. You Keep Comparing Your Work With Others

It’s okay to admit that you’re a perfectionist and you can do things very well, but when you work in a professional environment, you have to be a team player. If you have a certain idea about how you want the project to turn out it’s okay to put things onto the table. But what is not okay is comparing how you would have done it yourself to the final product that the person has put time, thought and effort into. Sure, you might genuinely believe your version would be better than someone else’s but considering it’s a team effort you have to be more open-minded and willing to accept your own flaws.

All in all, it’s okay to be different from others and not be everyone’s cup of tea. But at the same time, you must be willing to accept your flaws and issues and sort those out. When it comes to your professional life, certain kinds of behavior can be considered off-putting and we can only move further and higher up on the career chain if we work on ourselves first. Let us know all your thoughts in the comments below.

Romantic Looks For Girls For Valentine’s Day

New Post has been published on https://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/romantic-looks-for-girls-for-valentines-day/

Romantic Looks For Girls For Valentine’s Day

Romantic Looks For Girls For Valentine’s Day Niharika Nayak

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 14, 2020

Valentine’s Day is here and you’re probably looking for that one outfit to spice up your special day. Whether you’re going to a special romantic dinner with your partner or simply Netflix and chilling with your partner in the comfort of your own home, we have a list of outfits that will spice up your special night and cause your partner’s jaw to drop. Check out this list of celebrities for inspiration on how to keep your man wanting more:

1. First Date

If you’re one of the lucky ones who actually managed to bag a first date on Valentine’s Day, it’s best to play it safe by wearing pastel shades or the color white. As it is your first date with this person, it’s safe to pair your look with pink lips and casually tousled hair. Finish off this subtle yet glamorous look with a cute clutch and some nude pumps or flats. Make sure you keep yourself warm and carry a cute blue denim jacket or dark cardigan to style the look.

2. Dinner At A Fancy Restaurant

Take a cue from Piggy Chops herself and go for gold! There’s nothing that screams classy and sassy more than gold. Keep the accessories simple but go big on the makeup. Pair this look with some signature Kim Kardashian smokey eyes and a nude lip. If you’re really feeling spicy, you can also wear a bright red lip and go easy on the eye makeup instead. Add a messy bun to complete this look.

3. Casual Movie Date

Sure, you prefer rocking jeans in the movie theatre as they’re more comfortable and cozy than a dress or a skirt but since it is Valentine’s day, think about ditching your regular look for something a little less conventional. Why not rock a haute polka dot shirt and colorful skirt to go with it? Take some lessons from Kat and style this adorable look with a cute little pendant and large hoop earrings.

4. Picnic At Your Favorite Park

Since most picnics involve tall grass, you’re safer covering yourself up even though you probably want to show some skin on this special occasion. Like Deepika, you could style this look with a pair of gorgeous heels (unless the terrain is bumpy) and a statement belt or chunky accessories. Go bold on the eyes and pair this with a pretty blush pink lip to add a touch of femininity to the attire. Don’t forget to carry your favorite straw hat to protect your styled hair from the elements.

5. A Beachside Date

Nothing screams fun beach date more than a tube top and a skirt or denim shorts. Take a page out of Ananya’s books and use this date as an excuse to show off your favorite shades and get your tan on. Go big on the accessories and pair this outfit with some large dangling earrings or hoops and some colorful chappals.

6. All Cozied Up At Home

Maybe you and your partner are too introverted to hit the beach or restaurant on Valentine’s days. Who needs to be surrounded by crowds, amirite? However, just because you’re chilling at home on Valentine’s Day does not mean you can’t go a bit extra. After all, this day comes only once a year and you’re not even sure if you’ll be with the same person next year (just kidding). Go floral and feminine like Janhvi to remind him, you’re not just there for Netflix and chill but also for some nice new Instagram pictures (wink wink).

7. Clubbing With Your Ladies

kiaraaliaadvani / Instagram

Valentine’s Day isn’t reserved for just couples and even if you’re not booed up like everyone else, doesn’t mean you don’t need to get out on the town. Call your other single gal pals and get your doll faces on to party the night away. Channel your inner fierce goddess in a feisty scarlet red dress and pair it with some bold eyes and a nude lip to truly showcase your inner passion. Let your hair loose and accessorize the look with bold chunky bracelets and a pair of black stilettos. Talk about va va voom!

Regardless of whether you have a date or not, you should definitely treat yourself this Valentine’s Day. Take yourself out on a nice romantic date and dress to the nines if you have to. If you’re lucky enough to have a partner, focus on enjoying your time with them and living it up. Is there any look you want to try out this Valentine’s Day? Let us know in the comments below.

New Post has been published on https://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/6-valentines-day-ideas-for-couples-in-long-distance-relationships/

6 Valentine’s Day Ideas For Couples In Long-Distance Relationships

6 Valentine’s Day Ideas For Couples In Long-Distance Relationships Bency Sebastian

Hyderabd040-395603080 February 14, 2020

It’s that time of the year again; the time when couples all over the world come together to celebrate the day of love. While some may argue that the big V-Day is not a big deal, for the people who are in love it is that one special day where you can show your significant other that you love them in different ways. Every year all the lovey-dovey couples plan big things for this day to commemorate their love for each other. From fancy dinner dates to romantic getaways, Valentine’s Day is celebrated with enthusiasm and excitement by couples everywhere. It is a day dedicated to reminding each other of the love they share and celebrate together. It is an occasion to bask in love with your partner, but what about those couples who are in long-distance relationships? No doubt, it is hard to stay away from the person you love but on a day meant to celebrate love, it becomes tough. Fret not! We are here to bring to you ideas for V-Day for couples who are away from each other. This way you can enjoy the day of love even if you are physically away from each other.

1. The “I Love You” Call

via GIPHY

When in a long-distance relationship, you’re likely to talk to your partner every day. However, on this day do not forget to call them just to say those three magical words. A simple “I love you” can make them feel special and loved on this day. Your partner would probably be in a gloomy mood because they are far away from you and this phone call has the power to turn that around and make their day.

2. Think Outside The Box

Gone are the days when sending your partner flowers and teddies were considered special. What would bring a smile on their face would be to send them a care package with little things that they like. Something this thoughtful will show them how much you love them and miss them on Valentine’s Day. A hamper with a t-shirt, their favorite playlist, a handwritten note and perhaps their favorite food can be put together and packed together with a ribbon. Sending it to their home or workplace will give them a pleasant surprise and you are sure to receive a whirlwind of emotions over a phone call.

3. Romantic E-Date

Who says you cannot have a romantic candlelight dinner with your partner? Granted that you are miles away from your SO but you can make time for a virtual date and spend the evening with your long-distant partner. Order your favorite food, open a bottle of wine, light some candles and play some romantic music while you get on a video call with your sweetheart. This will be the most beautiful and romantic experience you can have with your love.

4. Dance The Blues Away

via GIPHY

If there is one thing every couple has, it is a movie or song that they call theirs because of a special memory linked with it. This is the perfect time to reminisce about them. Get on a video call with your partner and share a dance over that special song or watch a romantic movie together while sharing some laughs. We assure you this will turn out to be more special than you thought and even though you are miles away from your partner, you will have had a romantic night together.

5. Send A Video Note

Shutterstock

Not being in the same place as your sweetheart is difficult, especially on Valentine’s Day. A simple yet sweet way to make up for this is to create a video expressing your feelings for your partner. Tell them you love them and tell them why; tell them you miss them and let them know how much they mean to you. You could also include some funny, goofy bits in the video to make them laugh and send it to them. Your significant other will be overwhelmed with emotions and will cherish the video for life.

6. Surprise Surprise!

via GIPHY

We saved the best for last because this one takes the cake. When you’re in a long-distance relationship, there is no better gift than yourself. The oldest trick in the book yet the most effective of them all is to plan a surprise to visit your partner on Valentine’s Day. There is nothing more romantic than this. Cancel your meetings, take off from work, book a ticket, pack your bags and meet your partner on V-Day. Nothing will make them as happy as seeing you there unexpectedly. Be sure to be treated special and make some special memories with your significant other.

We agree that it is not easy to be away from your partner on the day of love but that does not mean that there is no way to make it exceptional even when you are miles apart. What do you think of our list? Do you have any more ideas to make your long-distance lovers feel special? Let us know in the comments below.

15 Best Hand Grip Strengtheners

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/15-best-hand-grip-strengtheners/

15 Best Hand Grip Strengtheners

15 Best Hand Grip Strengtheners Atulya Satishkumar Hyderabd040-395603080 February 3, 2020

Remember those arm-wrestling games we’d play with our friends? The defeats were humiliating and had us questioning our strength. But guess what? It had nothing to do with your overall strength, but more to do with the strength of your grip! Hand muscle soreness is a common condition that we all have experienced in our lives. Be it as students during exams, musicians after playing continuously, in office after rigorous typing or as athletes or lifters. We seldom pay attention to strengthening our hands, our fingers even while working out. This ignorance is no bliss, believe us. And this is why hand strengtheners are an important tool for one and all.

It’s a gripping device that stretches every muscle from the tip of the finger to the elbow, thus strengthening and improving dexterity and endurance. Hand grippers also tone the forearm, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain from the hand and wrists. Before you shop for the perfect hand grip strengthener, here are a few things you must consider.

How To Choose The Right Hand Grip Strengthener

Correct Resistance

The resistance level is the amount of force that you need to apply to ensure it stretches every muscle in the hand, wrists, and forearm. Too much force can cause muscle soreness, while too little can be ineffective. Hence, it is crucial to choose a brand that offers levels from beginners to advanced so that you can gradually build your strength.

Adjustable or Fixed Hand Strengthener

While you browse, you will come across two types of hand strengtheners. The adjustable ones are the ones that allow you to adjust the level of resistance. The second is the fixed type. Once you have passed the beginner’s level, you can move to the next level. These strengtheners are pre-adjusted.

Finger Strengtheners or Squeeze Grippers

Finger strengtheners or stretchers solely work on the flexibility and stamina of each finger. They are like a power-inducing band for fingers that improves blood circulation and eliminates stiffness. Squeeze Grippers, on the other hand, come in different shapes and sizes. They are more therapeutic than strengtheners as they are mostly used to relieve anxiety, stress, and rigidity in hand muscles.

Now you are all set to browse through the list of 15 bestselling hand grip strengtheners that can help make your hands stronger. Read on to know more!

Let us now take a look at the types of strengtheners.

Types Of Grip Strengtheners

First is the Crush Grip, the type where one needs to squeeze an object between the fingers and palm. For example – softballs, hand stretchers, towel wring, etc.

Second is the Support Grip, wherein a person must clutch onto a bar or hold onto an object and stretch. For example – pull-ups, carry groceries, water buckets, etc.

The last one is the Pinch Grip that determines the grip strength between the thumb and the tip of the four fingers.

Now that we know the types of grip strengtheners, we will explore the best way to use them.

Best Way To Use Grip Strengtheners

If you are using a hand therapy ball, hold it as you would hold any ball before throwing it. Press your fingers deep in it and release it. To improve your grip strength and stamina, follow this exercise 50-120 times a day. If you are using the hand grip strengthener, it is crucial to set them to the right resistance level if they are adjustable, and if they are fixed, we’d recommend you start with the beginners’ level. Follow 2 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps to warm up the fingers, hands, and arms.

How To Improve Grip Strength For Climbing

These are some of the basic exercises to prep up your fingers, hands, and forearms for climbing.

Try bouldering. It’s one of the best ways for beginner climbers to gain the necessary strength for climbing.

Go classic and use hand grip strengtheners. Try to do them as many times as possible without fail. This will stretch your finger, hand, and forearm muscles. Also, they are so handy that you can practice them anywhere, anytime.

If you use a sturdy bar, hold onto it with your fingers for a minute or so. If you manage to, then try for longer next time.

Training with a rope helps too. Get one of those thick gym ropes and hang them from the ceiling. Make sure they can sustain your weight. Hang on to it as long as you can. And if you manage to do that for a good amount of time, try climbing up with your hands and feet.

Grip strengtheners are a great tool to make your hands stronger. We hope this article helps you understand how important it is for you to flex your fingers, strengthen your wrists and increase the endurance level of your hands. So go on and shop for the right one before it’s sold out!

Do you have any suggestions? Do let us know in the comments below.

Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions

Do hand strengtheners really work?
