Amazing Skin Care Product: Nerium AD

Never have I been so amazed by skin care product as I have with this one. It's called Nerium AD. I've just started using it for about 5 days now, and my skin has changed dramatically! Everyone knows that I used to work with a plastic surgeon, so I know all the "ins" and "outs" of skin care, but never have I seen a product like this one! You start to see results in just 5 days of using it!

It helps with: fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (when you have dark spots on your skin), uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, aging or sun-damaged skin.

For me, it has gotten rid of all my acne, and my acne scars are hardly noticeable, and it has only been 5 days of using it!! The large pores on my nose and cheeks are gone! And it also gets rid of all black heads!
My skin looks & feels like it did when I was like... 12 years old.

And the awesome part about this product is you only have to use this ONE product. There's not a lot of stuff you have to use, and you only apply it at night! I am using this to replace ALL of my skin care products! I just wash my face and then apply this serum at night. Your skin just looks so different in the morning after using it! And for those of you who don't have trouble skin, this serum seriously just improves overall skin texture!

I am a medical professional, and trust me, it takes A LOT to amaze me this much! I am so glad that I found this product because I don't have to worry about acne, large pores, blackheads and other annoying spots on my skin anymore. You guys seriously have to try this! I can give you a sample of it too!

I'll keep you updated on my further usage of this product, but seriously, only 5 days!

Dealing With Winter Blues

Does the winter time make you sad or depressed? There are a lot of people who undergo mood changes which can range from mild "fall/winter blues" to severe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which can mostly be attributed to the decrease in daylight that occurs during the fall and winter months. This decrease actually causes hormonal changes in your body, which can affect your mood significantly. And of course, if you live in Seattle, you never see the sun!


SAD is a serious disorder that is a subtype of Major Depressive Disorder in which your life can severely be burdened by low mood, fatigue, anxiety, reduced sex drive and many more symptoms. SAD is really just a tiny aspect of the entire realm of depression. Many of us experience similar but less severe symptoms which makes us just short of being clinically depressed. And I think that's just, well, sad!      


Here's a few things you can do to prevent or treat symptoms of SAD:       


1. Don't hit the snooze button. Oversleeping, even if on the weekends, causes your circadian rhythms to drift later, which can cause the lethargy and SAD symptoms associated with winter.


2. You should eat at the same time daily and never after 8 p.m. for dinner. Just as with light, our circadian rhythms respond to meal times as well.


3. To counter the season's reduction in light, create it by purchasing a light-therapy box (a box that emits bright light that mimics natural outdoor light, which is more intense than normal household. I believe anybody can benefit from light therapy. It's just a highly convenient and effective breakfast-table routine. By the time you're done with your eggs and the paper, you'll likely have received enough therapy to prevent any mood shifts and stay energetic throughout the day. I recommend light boxes that have been clinically tested and provide a broad field of illumination from above the line of sight.
Also, UV radiation should be filtered out, and the light should be smoothly diffused, to eliminate glaring bright spots.


4. To a lesser extent, indoor light can also help combat symptoms of SAD. But you don't need full-spectrum light bulbs. Instead of scouring the aisles for full-spectrum bulbs, I suggest you choose light bulbs based on color temperature ratings. A color temperature around 4100 Kelvin is ideal. Higher color temperatures of 5500 Kelvin and above should be avoided.


Still feeling blue, despite actively trying to brighten your days? You may have clinical depression. To get an objective assessment of where you fall on the seasonal-depression spectrum, check out the Center for Environmental Therapeutics' Personal Inventory for Depression and SAD, an online symptom self-assessment at www.cet.org. And, of course, consult your doctor.

How To Give A Good Compliment and Boost Your Self-Esteem

There’s nothing like a warm, sincere compliment to make your day. Instead of waiting for one, why not give one out? Take it from me, the more you give, the more you find you’ll receive.

1) Make your compliment specific.

“That necklace looks really good on you” makes a bigger impact compared to “you look really good today”. The more specific, the better it makes the person feel like you notice them.

2) Back up your compliment.

Don’t just stop at “that necklace looks really good on you.” Your compliment becomes stronger when you say why you think so: “that necklace looks really good on you because it matches your eyes."

3) Ask a question with your compliment.

And if you want to use it as a conversational starter, ask a question about the subject of your compliment: “that necklace looks really good on you because it matches your eyes. Where did you find it?”

Why Giving Compliments Raises Your Self-Esteem:

It takes confidence and self-esteem to notice good things about others and to make the first caring move to tell them about it. 

When I first started giving compliments, I was awkward and shy about it. I kept wondering if I would offend them in some way or make people suspicious about what I wanted from them.

I’ve since discovered that a sincere compliment is always a boost to someone’s day. There will be those that reject it or will even argue with you, but that’s usually their problem and not yours. A compliment is like a gift, if someone doesn’t want your gift, you’ll still end up owning it. The best way to accept one is also like a gift, just say, "thank you."

You’ll also find when you start noticing good things about people, you’ll notice more good things about yourself as well! And the more you do, the more your own self-esteem will grow.
