Nice Moral... thot i cud share it wid you guys!

Hey there guys... this was sent to me while i was in a bad mood[:(] seriously after reading this i was laughing and ma mood changed completely [:P]..so true... d reason why i laughed ma heart out was i related this to a incident that happened to me... so here you go the story "Garbage truck and Life"
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We weredriving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parkingspace right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded,and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whippedhis head around and started yelling at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was reallyfriendly.. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruinedyour car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught mewhat I now call,"The Law of the Garbage Truck."He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, andfull of disappointment.As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimesthey'll dump it on you.. Don't take it personally.Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, oron the streets.The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks takeover their day.Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right.Pray for the ones who don't.Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Simple Tips To Keep Your Skin Healthy

Here are some nice tips to keep your skin healthy and beautiful.....

1.Protect your skin
Changes induced by sunlight are the major factor in causing alterations in the skin that contributes to the appearance of aging. Sunscreens and sun blocking agents can prevent or retard these changes. Efforts to protect the skin from harsh chemicals and physical agents (cold, wind, extreme dryness...) that may damage the skin are also sensible and desirable.

2.Clean and clear
Start by cleansing dry or sensitive skin with a gentle, non-stripping gel cleanser. If you have oily, acne-prone skin, find a gentle gel formula that's made specifically for your skin type, and follow with a non-alcoholic toner. Those containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) work especially well to help smooth the skin’s texture.
On days when you really need to exfoliate, use a gentle, grainy scrub (skip this step if you've got sensitive skin). If you've got oily skin, you'll want to exfoliate twice weekly, concentrating on blackhead-prone areas like the nose and chin.

3.Nutrition
The normal epidermis, hair follicles, and nail matrices receive their nutrition from the cutaneous vasculature, and there is no evidence that any topically applied "nutrient" can enhance their performance.

4.Hydration
Using a rich moisturizer is the next step. If you have an oily skin, it's better to use an oil-free cream. Hydration is especially important in winters.
Avoid taking long, hot baths in wintertime. If you don't want to give up hot baths, use bath oil.
Drink plenty of fluids. You won't have supple skin if you are dehydrated.
If your lips start to feel dry, resist the temptation to lick them. Saliva is not a moisturizer. It removes oil and makes your lips even drier. Instead, you should use lip balm or petroleum jelly. Smoking makes lips dry, too.

5. Skin care in winter
You need to adjust your skin care and moisturizing routine to protect your skin from becoming dry and itchy during the winter. This isn't just a cosmetic or comfort issue. Severely dry skin become less effective as a barrier against infection. Cold, dry winter air, low humidity caused by indoor heating, and hot showers and baths are all factors that rob your skin of moisture during the winter.
Don't overuse products that contain alpha-hydroxy acids. They exfoliate the top layer of skin, which is good for dry skin, but they also leave a new layer of skin that has no protection against bitter winter weather.
Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 during the winter to protect yourself from snow-reflected ultraviolet light. Don't forget to use lip balm with sunscreen to protect your lips.
Limit showers to 10 to 15 minutes. Use bath oils if you do take a hot bath. Use mild soaps. Deodorant soaps are more likely to dry your skin.
Put moisturizer on your skin immediately after a bath or shower, while your skin is still wet. It helps trap moisture in your upper skin layers.
After you wash your hands, use hand cream to seal in moisture.
Use a humidifier in your home to keep humidity levels higher during winter.

Finally something quick tips that you should always remeber...

1. Get enough sleep. Eat healthy.
2. Veggies are your friends so keep consuming them.
3. Limit your caffeine consumption. drink lotsa WATER....
4. Use sunscreen every day during summer and moisturizer to enrich your skin.
5. Oil bath once a week will keep your skin glowing, for all you people who have oily skin dont worry just was your face at least 5 times a day.
