#9.High Heels (Women Only)

High heels are an essential part of the wardrobe – they make your legs look longer and bottom smaller. However, ‘high’ heels can become ‘killer’ heels causing problems ranging from blisters, corns and calluses to serious foot, knee and back pain. But as it’s a party essential, here are offering words of wisdom to help you and your feet.
  1. Keep high heels for special occasions where you will not be on your feet for extended periods of time; treat them as a limited-privilege accessory.
  2. Save backless high-heeled shoes for evening glamor. Backless shoes force your toes to claw as you walk, straining the muscles if worn over a long period.
  3. Vary your heel heights from day to day, one-day wearing low heels, and the next day slightly higher heels.
  4. Try wearing a larger size than usual and insert heel cups into the backs for a better or more comfortable fit.
  5. Vary shoe types.
  6. For everyday use, keep heel heights to about 4 cm.
  7. Consider wearing shoes with a strap or lace over the instep rather than slip-ons. This will help stop your foot sliding forward, a bit like a seatbelt in a car.
  8. Give your feet some extra special attention during, and after wearing high heels.

#6.Polish Your Shoes

Shining your shoes on a routine basis is a necessary in order to prolong the life of your shoes. Typically, you should shine your shoes at least once a week to enhance their appearance and extend their wear.

The basic rule for shining Leather Shoes is that the shoes should be thoroughly dry or they will not be able to absorb the shoe creams properly and you will not be able to polish them correctly. Additionally, the shoes will have a dull finish if polished when wet. When cleaning and polishing your shoes, you will need a standard set of tools.

  1. A coarse brush
  2. Several clean cloths
  3. Shoe creams that match the colors of your shoes
  4. An application brush or cloth used to apply the shoe cream
  5. A soft, yet thick, bristle brush
How to do it:
  1. take a shoe and use the coarse brush to remove any excess dirt and dust from the shoe.
  2. Once all surface dirt has been eliminated, take a clean cloth and remove any remaining residue.
  3. take the application brush/cloth and dip it lightly into the shoe cream.
  4. Apply the show cream to the shoe, in an even coat. It is important that the cream be applied as close as possible to the shoe's sole. If the color of the sole differs from the shoe's body, avoid getting the cream on the sole. Otherwise, if the shoe's body and sole are the same color, apply the cream on the sole as well. After the cream is applied, set the shoe aside to allow the cream to soak into the shoe. This process should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  5. Once the allotted time has passed, take the soft brush and start polishing the shoe. To polish a shoe, place your hand in the shoe and swiftly brush the shoe back and forth using quick, yet firm, strokes.
  6. Because you are removing shoe cream from a shoe as you are polishing it, it is important that you use separate soft polishing brushes for each color of shoes that you have. Not using separate brushes causes the colors to mix resulting in discoloration of your shoes.
  7. After you have polished your shoe with the brush, check it for any streaks that may remain. To remove these streaks, take another clean cloth and rub them on the streaks to remove them from the shoe.
  8. The polishing process is complete.

Grab some vegetable or olive oil from your kitchen counter.

  4. Gently rub the cloth over the surface of your shoes until all the oil has been absorbed and your shoes starts to get some of their shine back.
  5. For the final touch, buff the shoes with a chamois cloth to really get them to gleam..

#4.Eating Vegetables and Fruits


Eating vegetables and fruits regularly can have many health benefits. They are one of the most natural foods and contain different vitamins, minerals and thousands of other plant chemicals known to provide health benefits. Along with all the many disease-reducing benefits (listed below), eating vegetables and fruits can also help control weight.

Vegetables are low in fat and calories, a good source of dietary fiber and provide us with extra energy. All these features help control weight effectively. Being low in calories enables us to eat lots of vegetables without consuming excess energy, the high fiber content also helps fill the stomach faster limiting the total amount of food consumed. The presence of many vitamins and other chemicals in vegetables supply the body with nutrients necessary to boost energy production within the muscle cells. This give us a natural feeling of vitality and the energy to become more active helping to burn more energy each day.

Vegetables are also low in sodium so they help reduce water gains. Sodium is present in virtually all processed foods; it causes the body to hold water within the interstitial areas of the body. It has been estimated that many average people may be holding up to 5 pounds of additional water caused from a high intake of sodium. Any reduction in sodium intake will help lose water weight and if we eat more vegetables our sodium intake naturally lowers.

Most people should aim for at least nine servings (at least 4½ cups) of vegetables and fruits a day and potatoes don't count. Go for a variety of kinds and colors of produce, to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs. Best bets? Dark leafy greens, cooked tomatoes, and anything that's a rich yellow, orange, or red color.

Great reasons for eating vegetables and fruits to benefit with losing weight

  • Low in fat

  • Less water retention - low in sodium
  • Fill stomach quickly - high in fiber
  • Increased vitality due to high nutrient content

  • A bath tub filled with warm water
  • 1 and ½ quarts of whole milk
  • Stove
  • Pan
  • Measuring Cup

How to:

Find a clean pan in your kitchen and measure out the milk. (If you want to use more than the above listed, that’s fine but you don’t need more than ½ gallon.) Pour the milk into the pan and gently warm up the milk on low to medium-low heat. Your milk need not come to a boil! While the milk is heating, start running the warm bath water. When the milk is heated pour it into the bath and viola! Your milk bath is complete.

At this point you can soak and enjoy. However, many people complain about the scent of a milk bath. There are a numerous optional items you can add to the bath to make the stink disappear. You may want to add to the bath some citrus oils or a strong scented flower essence such as rose oil. Adding lightly crushed lavender petals will cover any odd smell and its fragrance is known for its soothing qualities. Adding fragrant crushed herbs such as mint or thyme can also help.

If you are feeling particularly indulgent, add chocolate shavings or powdered cocoa to the milk while you are warm the milk. Remember to warm the milk and chocolate gradually because chocolate burns easily and burned foods will not ease the bad smell that can occur during the bath.

Don’t forget to drain the tub and then shower after you are done soaking to wash off the offensive scent that milk residue can leave behind.

  • You are more likely to make mistakes and have a slower reaction time;
  • Less sleep, higher body mass index;

Having difficulty sleeping? Why don’t you try one of these tricks?
