Tennis is truly the sport
How can a child benefit from playing tennis?
Physically, tennis is great for hand-eye coordination, development, and movement. It’s definitely not a game you play standing still. Kids
can benefit socially, since most of the trainings are offered for kids in groups. And one thing that’s really important to remember is that
tennis is an individual sport, so kids learn to be accountable to themselves. It’s a skill they can take into all areas of life.
At what age should kids start playing tennis?
It’s a very relative question. Usually its not before 4 years old, and very few at 4 years old. With younger kids, you focus on coordination
games, movement games, and teaching them building blocks of playing the sport. But it depends on the kid as some are ready at a
younger age. Increasing numbers of children are becoming involved in competitive and recreational tennis at an earlier age Children as
young as four or five years, with some taking part in year-round practice and competition.
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) organises tournaments and competitions for juniors ranging from 12 to 18 years of age, and
many countries organise national championships for the 10s and under.
Why you should consider playing tennis regularly?
Tennis is a sport for kids to learn early in life, and there are numerous physical benefits
from playing tennis regularly.
Regular tennis play has been demonstrated to improve:
Tennis can help kids develop
many physical, social, and
mental skills that can be used in
other parts of life. Tennis is one
of the best ways for kids to
become healthy, confident and
physically fit. The nature of the
game is serving, returning and
rallying which makes tennis
a highly active kids sport
with plenty of movement,
starts, stops and direction
changes. Mental focus is also
sharpened through tennis
because decision-making and
concentration are necessary
every time a ball is hit.
Tennis
is a great choice
for your child
Acceleration by practicing sprinting, jumping and lunging in order to move quickly
Powerful first steps, by requiring anticipation, quick reaction time and explosion into action
Speed through a series of side-to-side and up and back sprints to chase the ball
Leg strength, through hundreds of starts and stops which build stronger leg muscles
General body coordination since you have to move into position and then adjust your upper
body to hit the ball successfully
Gross motor control, through court movement and ball-striking skills, which require control of
your large muscle groups
Fine motor control by the use of touch shots like angled volleys, drop shots and lobs
Agility by forcing you to change direction as many as 5 times in 10 seconds during a typical
tennis point
Cross-training by offering a physically demanding sport that’s fun to play for athletes who also
participate in other sports
Bone strength and density by strengthening bones of young players and helping prevent
osteoporosis in older ones
Immune system through its conditioning effects that promote overall health, fitness and
resistance to disease
Nutritional habits , by eating appropriately before competition to enhance energy production,
and after competition to practice proper recovery methods
Eye-hand coordination, because you constantly judge the timing between the on-coming ball
and the proper contact point
All these benefits make tennis the ideal sport for kids to learn early in
life.
And, that brings us “ Tennis is truly the sport for a lifetime!”

Diet
For
For Sweet
Sweet Tooth
Tooth
“A body is not a bank account. It’s a chemistry lab.”
Try these swaps that will satisfy your sweet tooth
without forcing your body to flip on the fat switch.
Try a frozen Yogurt
If you’re craving a creamy frozen yogurt-type treat, its recommended combining nonfat yogurt with a
high-fiber fruit, like raspberries or blueberries. Top it off with a sprinkle of ground nuts or flaxseed for
a crunchy texture. “The yogurt has about 9 g of sugar, 20 g of protein, and about 120 calories, so it’s
not bad at all. The ground nuts or flaxseed are both a good plant source of omega-3 fats, and what you
get is real synergy with this treat.”
Try a Fiber Bar
Many brands like granola as a nutritious snack, but the high sugar content can wreak havoc on your
waistline. Granola has a reputation as a healthy snack, and it can be good for you. But it can also be a
hunger driver. That’s why we suggests Fiber bars. Available in different flavors, each has about 8 g of
sugar and only 60 calories. What makes it so healthy is the 6 g of fiber that help slow the secretion of
sugars, which can prevent your body from storing fat.
Try a Natural Energy Bar
Put down the candy bar. There are many healthy alternatives like Natural Energy Bars that can satisfy
a hankering without the excess sugar. With flavors like mixed nuts and white chocolate dipped mixed
nuts, they even sound like candy bars. They give you this great feeling of ‘wow, I’m having a sweet,’
but it won’t blow your diet.
Try 10 Frozen Grapes with 8 to 12 Almonds
Fruits are nature’s candy. Fruit is full of fructose a high potency sugar but it’s everything else in the
fruit that blunts the sugar response and makes it good for your body. Grapes are higher in sugar and
lower in fiber than other fruits, so its recommended grabbing a handful if you want to slowly wean off
candy. Accompany 10 frozen grapes with just a small serving of nuts to help prevent blood sugar from
spiking.
Try a Piece of Dark Chocolate
Sugar isn’t just empty
calories the consequence
of indulging goes deeper
than that. Consuming sweets
spikes your insulin levels,
which may cause you to store
excess fat. “Weight gain as
a result of eating sweets has
little to do with calories it has
to do with the insulin surge
that puts your body into fat
storage mode
“High-sugar
items that are
accompanied by
fiber or protein
or fats can help
block that insulin
response”.
Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate packed with antioxidants if the chocolate urge won’t disappear. A
study conducted found that milk can interfere with the body’s absorption of antioxidants from dark
chocolate, making it a better choice than milk chocolate. Dark chocolate is also usually less processed
and contains less sugar than milk chocolate.
Try a Popsicle
A popsicle takes a relatively long time to eat, and if you melted a popsicle into a cup, you’re talking
about a small volume of juice, which means less sugar and fewer calories. People tend to gulp juice,
but slowly lick a popsicle, which means sugar is not rushing into your bloodstream to spike your
insulin. Individually wrapped popsicles is a good portion control. We suggest a frozen treat made with
all-natural fruit juice to avoid high fructose corn syrup.
This isn’t a free pass to raid the freezer, but “popsicles are OK once in awhile.”
Platinum
Carbohydrate
Eat enough carbohydrates so that you give your muscles the fuel to work out
hard. This will give your body the ability to use all that protein you’re taking in to
make more muscle and repair your muscles after injury.
Carbohydrate is the predominant energy source for strength training. Stored as
glycogen in the muscles, it is the fuel used to supply energy for short, intense
bursts of power. The harder and longer you work out, the more glycogen your
muscles require. Once these stores of glycogen are gone your energy level will
drop and you will run out of fuel to power muscle contractions. For this reason,
athletes doing strength training exercise in the hopes of building lean muscle need
to have an adequate carbohydrates intake.
Experts recommend at least 500 to 600 grams of carbohydrate per day to keep
your muscle glycogen stores high. You can base your personal requirement on the
following formula:
3.6gr carb x body wt(lbs)= grams carb/day
For a 140 pound person this is about 504 grams per day or about 2,000 carbohydrate
calories and 720 grams or 2,900 carbohydrate calories for a 200-pound person.
Protein
Protein is the basic building material for muscle tissue, and strength trainers need
to consume more than the non-exercisers. Choose lean sources of protein. With
your workout, you need extra proteins so choose lean meats, fish, and poultry so
you don’t also eat the extra fat that comes with high fat protein sources.However,
most strength athletes still overestimate their protein needs.
Daily protein recommendations for serious strength athletes are about 0.6 to 0.8
grams per pound of body weight. That’s about 90 to 115 grams of protein/day for
the 140-pound athlete and 128 to 164 grams for those weighing 200 pounds.
Fat
After you’ve met your carbohydrate and protein needs there is room for fat. Fat is
an essential nutrient, however, you require a small amount of it to remain healthy.
Less than 30% of your total daily calories should come from unsaturated fat.
Water
You need water to make and release energy. Water helps to prevent muscle
cramps during intense exercise. In addition to the regular eight glasses of water
every day, you need to drink to replace fluids that are lost during exercise. To be
confident that you are well hydrated before workouts, drink 2 cups of fluid 2 hours
before exercise. During your workout, drink 1-2 cups every 15 to 20 minutes.
After exercise, replace any further fluid losses with 0.5 liters of water. If you want
to be precise, you can weigh yourself before and after workouts. For each pound
lost during exercise, you should be drink 16 ounces of fluid.
Take a Multi-Vitamin
Nutrition Tips
for Muscle Building
In order to build lean muscle mass you need to combine an adequate calorie intake with a solid muscle
strengthening program. A balanced and sensible diet is vital when attempting to build muscle quickly. A large
number of calories are needed to fuel both workouts and tissue building. While getting enough calories is
important, it is also important to get the right kind of calories.
There are many supplements and specific muscle gain enhancing products
but you have to remember that this is only the 10 most important elements of a
successful mass program. So, We have to keep this brief and to the point. All
of the other products will help, but they are not essential. So, I will only touch
on two vitamins supplements: Multi-Vitamins and Antioxidants. An antioxidant
like Vitamins A, C, E, Glutathione, Glutamine, and Selenium are essential in
preventing free radical damage, which is accelerated after the heavy trauma
of weight training. Antioxidants protect other substances by being oxidized
themselves.
Sports drinks
Energy bars and sports drinks may be helpful if exercise lasts longer than 1 hour.
Carbohydrate supplements can be useful to help fit adequate carbohydrates into
a busy day if you don’t have time to eat a meal. Consuming a meal-replacement
beverage just after muscle-building exercise is convenient but you can do the
same thing with a tuna sandwich, a banana, a bagel or other real food snack. You
should try to consume some protein and carbohydrate after your workout in order
to fuel muscle growth and replenish glycogen stores for your next workout.
Supplements
Most supplements that are supposed to help build muscle don’t work. But some,
such as creatine, fluid and electrolyte replacers, carbohydrate supplements, and
liquid meal replacers may offer some benefits to strength training athletes.
The secret to gaining muscle mass fast - CONSISTENCY.
You can have the best diet, the best training schedule, join the best gym
that has the best equipment, but without consistency it’s all worthless

Just because there's a dry spell doesn't mean you can't work
things out. Everything is fixable! Just sit her down and have a
long chat about what's going on. Usually the issue can be solved,
and that will only make your relationship stronger. If, on the other
hand, the problems are a little too much for the both of you...
well, maybe it's best you both find new grounds. Besides, it's not
healthy for any of the two of you to stay in a relationship with no
passion.

WELCOME TO THE NO STRESS ZONE
Amwaj
All these thoughts are normal cause both of you are starting a new life
and its scary and risky. The most important part here is you just need
to check the following points to make sure if you are right… and if you
are not trust me its never too late….
Why am I getting married in the first place?
It stars with a yes then turns to may be then ends with a no. Usually this
feeling comes to both partners although most of us think that this phase
men only go through. The difference is that ladies are more excited to get
married than men but when the wedding is almost there and its all turns
to be serious both of them starts to panic.
You have to answer this question honestly cause the answer will make a big difference, is it because of love, or money, or age, or no
better choices available, or your family is pushing for it…. If your answer didn’t include love, common understanding, or even like… I
think you have to give yourself time to think. Be sure that changing your decisions while you are still single may seem so difficult, but be
sure that its much easier than after marriage.
Is your schedule going very fast for the wedding?
Don’t be in a rush. You may not have the love from first sight, but both of you may have a lot in common that deserve to give yourself
the chance to know each other better, but this should happen before marriage not after, cause after marriage it’s pretty late. Take your
time to say he or she is the one; I want to complete my life with her.
Do you know and accept his/ her negatives?
If you think you know your partner well, and if you thought of your own and cant find what you don’t like in his/ her character, be sure
you still don’t know him. Nobody is perfect, each one of us has his pros and cons, but if you don’t know it in your partner and not sure if
you can live with it or no, then you still need to take your time to decide. One of the big mistakes people fall in is starting to know each
other after marriage, when it’s too late. Too late doesn’t mean that there is no hope to change, but if you couldn’t change what you don’t
like in him / her and he or she wont change, you are stuck for good. Remember it should be something major that you can’t accept
cause we all have and will have things to change inside us.
If you had an honest time with yourself and you found that this person you know well and you have feelings towards him or her and no
major problems in the character that may let you suffer for the rest of your life or no hidden objectives from this marriage then what you
are going through is normal ups and downs before a serious change in your life, you just need to fight it and know that this is a normal
phase you are going through. If you found out that you don’t have clear answers for the above questions, then take your time, think,
and evaluate everything cause sometimes you think its easy and time is flying then you find yourself with your partner in one house and
you don’t know how you got here, then to correct your wrong decision will require you to ruin a marriage or may be kids life if you are a
bit late.

mind?
I have fun being single
Im enjoying my salary alone
I m free like a bird
I don’t have energy for being

I don’t want to be a father now

I don’t want to quarrel

SO QUICKLY AND YOUR NEW PHASE WILL START WITH ITS
RESPONSBILITIES AND DUTIES AND TIME WILL COME WHEN
YOU WILL MISS THESE TIMES THAT YOU MISSED WHILE
BEING IN A RUSH OR PANIC.

Make your kitchen
organized
It’s the place you
probably spend th
e
most time. Keep
it
clutter-free with t
hese
tips.
Organize the freezer. When food items get
crammed in willy-nilly, you won't know what you have on
hand. Instead, make designated sections (prepared meals,
vegetables, desserts). Use dividers, baskets, or multilayer
ice caddies to keep containers neat and accessible. And be
sure to label everything with both what's in the container,
and when you cooked it up.
Make a list. Tattered dishcloths? Out of soap? As you
go, write down supplies you find lacking or worn out. Also
write down side projects that you find as you go (such as
fixing a wobbly table leg). Writing them down allows you to
tackle distractions later without missing things.
Clean as you go. When you clear one drawer or
shelf, wipe out the crumbs before replacing the contents.
Cleaning a little at a time makes it less of a chore.
Cleaning your Fridge
The refrigerator is one of the hardest working appliances in your home -- and one that
often takes a beating. It's subject to spills, varied odors, and overcrowding, and it's
the one appliance that never gets a rest. A clean refrigerator promises to keep food
fresher, so do your best to maintain the cleanliness of this kitchen workhorse.
Wipe Up Spills
Daily: Wipe up spills immediately, before they have a chance to dry.
Make sure everything that goes into the fridge is immaculate; wipe
off rims of jam jars, salad dressing bottles, and ketchup containers
before storing them.
Check for Spoilage
Keep necessities
within easy reach to
save time. Make a place
in the zone around the stove
and the sink for essentials: oil,
vinegar, knives, cutting board. Put
ingredients and tools near where you
will be using them: Keep the basket of
garlic near the cutting board, sugar and
flour near the stand mixer, and your bestloved pan on the front burner. Use under-cabinet space and
exposed shelving. Things get lost on
deep shelves. Put them in baskets that you can
pull out and inspect at eye level. Put the walls to work.
Hang racks or
pegs to keep utensils, pot holders, and dish towels in
sight. Oversize Post-it notes or hanging rolls of paper
(found at stationery and art-supply stores) are useful
for reminders. Invest in equipment. A food sealer is just
the thing for turning blanched green beans, fish fillets,
and muffins into future instant meals. A scale is useful
for weighing ingredients, which some cooks consider
a faster and more reliable way to measure for bulk
recipes. A calculator speeds the doubling and tripling
of recipes. 54 Discover More ... Start Living
Daily: Check for spoilage and throw out anything past its prime.
Place anything likely to leak, such as defrosting meat or cartons of
berries, on a rimmed plate.
Clean Doors
Weekly: Wipe doors, including edges, and top of refrigerator with a
cloth dampened with mild dishwashing liquid and water. Pay special
attention to the areas around the handles, which can harbor sticky
fingerprints. For stainless-steel surfaces, use commercial stainlesssteel spray and wipe in the direction of the grain. Empty the Fridge
Seasonally: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
and empty the fridge contents into a cooler. Bring glass shelves and
crisper drawers to room temperature before you wash them.
Keep Leftovers Airtight
Regular maintenance and storing leftovers in airtight containers are
the best ways to prevent odors. Even so, you may still be plagued
with smells from time to time. Try spreading a box of baking soda
onto a rimmed baking sheet. Leave it inside with the door closed,
until the smell goes away.
Eliminate Odors
Another method is to spread fresh coffee grounds on a tray inside,
until the smell goes away. The lingering coffee scent will eventually
disappear. Or, place activated charcoal (available at drugstores
or pet shops) on a tray inside, with the fridge temperature set on
"low." Cat litter can also help. Spread 1/2 inch unscented chlorophyll
cat litter in a shallow pan and leave it inside until the smell is gone. Discover More ... Start Living 55

Make the most
of
your
small spaces
Small-space decorating can
be a challenge, but check our
Article where you will find tips
when living in an apartment,
condo, or small home will
help you make the most of the
square footage you have. Learn
how to maximize a small
space with these projects, tips,
tricks, and inspiration from
our photos of small homes.
Remember
A tiny room doesn’t have to hold only tiny furniture.
Sometimes with a small space, people avoid large
furniture thinking it will dominate the room. Not true. A
large sectional can often be better than a small sofa and
chair.
Add Multipurpose Pieces
Investing in furniture that serves many functions is a
great way to streamline a room. An ottoman with built-in
storage lets you tuck away blankets and books, and also
makes a compact footrest.
Reflect your room
Making a small space seem grand depends on
maximizing light. You can do that with a glass coffee
table, rather than a wood or opaque one. You can do
it by tucking mirrors into corners, and by hanging art in
glass frames, which create reflections.
Get Perspective
Hang curtains so that when they’re open, the entire pane
is clear; open curtains should fall beside the window
and not obscure any of it. Don’t hang curtains inside
the window frame. Consider hanging curtains from the
ceiling, rather than from the top of the window, which will
add height (and some drama) to the space.
Think vertically.
Whether you’re hanging art or shelves, or placing
furniture, don’t let vertical space go to waste. Using it is
practical, providing a display space for art, for example,
and it also draws the eye up, making a space feel more
expansive than it actually is.
Space Things Out
Automatically think you’ll make your room look bigger by
shoving furniture against the wall? Sometimes a piece
looks better at an angle or surrounded by space. Give
your furniture breathing room, whether it’s angling your
bed or floating your sofa in the living room with a skinny
console behind it.

Be Trendy this Winter
Your style is the main esteem to your self-confidence.
Navy Blue
Dark, intense and classic, next season navy blue is the new black. Made
famous by the British Royal Navy, the dark blue adapted itself into the
world of fashion and appears as next winter's standout color. Wear it
head-to-toe, as seen at Céline and Chloé.
From Paris to New York, stopping off at London and Milan along the way,
it is clear that this coming season is all about contrast. Ambiguity between
masculine and feminine, strength and fragility, opulence and grunge, past and
present... These contrasts reflect the multiple facets of the 21st century woman
and, above all, celebrate her personal style.
Moody Blooms
LUSH blooms in overripe hues, scattered across
blackened silks and chiffons, lend this season’s florals
a dark, enigmatic glamour.
Burnt orange, reds and blacks teamed with stained
lips, smoky eyes and long, tousled hair set the tone
for a dark winter romance. Add sober skirt lengths
and severe necklines and the beautifully melancholic
mood is complete.
Exotic furs
The must-have fur coat for next winter comes
straight from the wild in-pop colors with disco
and grunge flares. As if they were dipped in
fluorescent paints and bleached in acid, furs
goes two-tone and tricolor, and blacks change
to neon yellow and hot pink as brown turns
red or green, changing the style codes of urban
sophisticates and their classic furs.
The Square Route
LAST season's strict monochrome prints give way
to softer, colour-drenched checks for autumn.
Bright blanket weaves and laundry-bag squares
have a witty, modern charm; billowing gowns and
easy coats breathe new life into trad tartans; while
fur, sequins and silks bring plaid to the party.
Spotlight on
the Skirt
AS the collections embrace
a new-found femininity, so
fashion's focus falls firmly on
the skirt.
The common theme here is a
longer line: the mini enjoys
an occasional outing, but it is
knee-length and calf-skimming
numbers that best capture the
womanly moment.
Tweed
This wool fabric excels in
elegance next season and
reinvents itself in various
forms. The typically
masculine fabric, designers
created looks in the carded,
flexible material.
Piacera
Metallic mesh
A medieval trend for next
season has developed,
featuring armor-inspired mesh
pieces. Far from weighing
down the look, however, this
mesh delicately dresses the
chest, hips and legs, hiding
parts of the female body,
yet subtly revealing others,
elusively hinting at nudity.
CamouFlage
With camouflage prints, mountain ranger looks and khaki dominating
the runways, the armed forces have certainly earned their stripes with
the designers. Inspired by the army’s rigour, silhouettes are stricter and
designs feature the military’s famous camouflage print in various forms.
Oversized shoulders
For his first show as Balenciaga's Creative Director, Alexander Wang
presented coats and shortened jackets with large, rounded shoulders
in homage to the oversized cuts from the era of Cristobal Balenciaga,
founder of the celebrated fashion house established in the 1930s.
The look carefully softens strict winter silhouettes, also seen on the
Proenza Schouler and Gucci catwalks.
Piacera
Over the years camel has cemented its place within autumn/winter menswear,
and for some it is considered as much a part of the seasonal palette as the
monochrome we continue to reach for come the cold.
Today we show you how to effortlessly integrate camel into your wardrobe,
taking inspiration from the high fashion runway.
Camel was prevalent at all the global fashion weeks as major design houses
continued to make the color a focal point of their collections. Top picks came
from industry giants Burberry, Balenciaga and Prada.
Camel has almost become synonymous with outerwear, and here at
FashionBeans we have already advocated the shade for both double- and
single-breasted overcoats this year. The versatile nature of the hue enables
it to combine effortlessly with your existing wardrobe, making it a fantastic
alternative to the typical grey, navy or black versions that dominate the
seasonal offering.

Know the secrets behind
looking younger, more
beautiful, more healthy,
and confident.
5.Pink cheeks.
You can do a lot but without pinky cheeks
you will have a pale look that will ruin all what
you did . Adding some blucher can help you
to hide your exhaustion, as beautiful women
should never look pale. Choose pink or peach
shades, but colors near to your skin color will
make you look tiered.
6.cream.
Anti wrinkle Using regularly anti wrinkle
creams will help you look
younger. Don’t forget to get
the three types of it (day
cream, night cream, and
eye cream). These creams
will help you manage the
existing wrinkles and fight
the new ones, and will help
you manage your tired skin
too.
7.
Long and thick
eyelashes.
Beautiful eyelashes make your eyes look
wider and defines your face too. Don’t forget
to color you lower lashes too.
8. Sexy lips.
Secrets to look
10 years younger
Your Face, Makeup and Hair Style
A little bit of blucher, nice make up, and good facial creams will
help you shine with beauty.
1.
Choose a light foundation to look natural.
The color of your foundation should not differ a lot
from your face color. It shouldn’t be very thick to
make it unnoticeable especially in day light. Using
the proper foundation will always make you look
beautiful and fresh.
3.
A beautiful smile.
Smile a lot, because if you have beautiful white
teeth it will help you a lot to look younger. Use
whitening toothpaste, and a whitening toothbrush
(R.O.C.S). Don’t forget to visit your dentist
frequently too.
2.
Hide your facial skin defects.
You need a good concealor to hide the dark circles under
your eyes, and remember to choose it one shade lighter than
your skin color to make your face look more attractive. A facial
corrector will be needed like (Stay Natural Essence) to cover
sun spots in your face, that will give your face the toned color
that you need.
4.
Choose the right shape for your Eyebrows.
Your eyebrows play a big role how your face looks, as it is
one of the things that defines it. The shape and the color
are very important as you can choose the right shape but
the color doesn’t fit you. If you have blond hair then your
eyebrows should be a little darker that your hair, and if you are
a brunette then your eyebrows should be a little lighter than
your hair.
The color of your lipstick plays an important role in making them
look sexy. Red color makes your lips look thicker, the pale colors
look good but will not brighten your face. When choosing a lip
gloss try to have it shiny and with moisturizer.
9.
Pastel eye shadows will
widen your eyes.
When using your eye shadow remember to use
light colors and use the dark ones to do the
edges.
10.
Your face needs
moisturizing masks.
All you need is to know which masks fit your skin
type and age. These masks can be purchased
or home made, you can choose whatever you
want. Don’t forget to use facial masks because
they help a lot with how your skin looks.
11.Your Face may need some filling.
These thin lines that you find on both sides of your mouth or around your eye. You sometimes get used to see them but
getting ride of them may help you a lot to look younger. It won’t take you long in the doctor’s clinic but it will last for six
month. Sometimes doctor recommend doing it earlier to control the depth of these wrinkles.
12.Stylish
Hair.
The style you choose to do your
hair plays a big role on how young
you look. Brushing your hair more
close to your face helps to cover
any defects you don’t like and
distracts the attention more to your
hair, so don’t forget to make it look
stylish and up to date and you will
definitely look younger.
15.
Get rid of any extra hair.
Any extra hair will minimize the glow of your face. You need to get rid of
any extra hair on your face especially if it is visible for example if you have
extra hair above your upper lip. Sexy young women don’t have extra hair
ontheir faces.
13.
A different hair cut.
Short hair cut in the front helps a lot to
cover any wrinkles you have in your
forehead, or around your eyes. Short hair
cuts helps you look younger too. Don’t
forget to choose a nice and different hair
cut to keep looking different and young.
14.
Eye Creams
are important too.
Dark circles or puffy eyes make you look
exhausted and much older. You need to
have an eye cream to help you manage
this unpleasant look of your eyes because
your eyes are one of the important parts
of your face that shows how young and
beautiful you are.

Traditional Christmas mince pies
Pate Brisee (Short Crust Pastry):
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon (14 grams) granulated
white sugar
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter,
chilled, and cut into 1 inch (2.54 cm)
pieces
1/8 to 1/4 cup (30 - 60 ml) ice water
Mincemeat Filling:
1 - 11 ounce (312 gram) jar of mincemeat (about 1 cup (240 ml) (it’s like a
jam with apple, you can replace it if not
available)
Pate Brisee: In a food processor, place
the flour, salt, and sugar and process
until combined. Add the butter and
process until the mixture resembles
coarse meal (about 15 seconds). Pour
1/8 cup (30 ml) water in a slow, steady
stream, through the feed tube until
the dough just holds together when
pinched. If necessary, add more water.
Do not process more than 30 seconds.
Turn the dough onto your work surface
and gather into a ball. Divide the pastry
in half, flatten each half into a disk,
cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate
for 30 minutes to one hour before
using. This will chill the butter and relax
the gluten in the flour. Mince Pies: Have ready 24 mini
muffin tins. After the dough has chilled
sufficiently, take one of the disks of
pastry and place on a lightly floured
surface. Roll out the pastry dough until
about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 24
rounds that are slightly bigger than the
muffin tins. (To prevent the pastry from
sticking to the counter and to ensure
uniform thickness, keep lifting up and
turning the pastry a quarter turn as you
roll (always roll from the center of the
pastry outwards).) Gently place the
rounds into the muffin tins. Place about
a teaspoon of mincemeat into each
tin and set aside while you make the
pastry stars. Roll out the second disk of pastry
and cut out 24 stars and gently place
the stars on top of the mincemeat. If
desired, brush the tops of the stars with
a little egg wash (one large egg whisked
together with 1 tablespoon water) and
sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake in
a 400 degrees F (205 degree C) oven
for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the
pastry has lightly browned. Remove
from oven and cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar (icing/
powdered) before serving. Serve
warm or at room temperature. These
tarts freeze very well.
Home made Gingerbread man
Gingerbread Men:
3 cups (390 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (‫)جوزة الطيب‬
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves(‫)قرنفل‬
room temperature
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white
sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cup (160 ml) unsulphured molasses
(To prevent molasses from sticking to
the measuring cup, first spray the cup
with a non stick vegetable spray.)
Confectioners Frosting:
2 cups (230 grams) confectioners sugar
(icing or powdered sugar), sifted
room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons milk or light cream
Assorted food colors (if desired)
Gingerbread Men: In a large bowl, sift
or whisk together the flour, salt, baking
soda, and spices. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or
with a hand mixer), with the paddle
attachment, beat the butter and
sugar until light and fluffy. Add the
egg and molasses and beat until well
combined. Gradually add the flour
mixture beating until incorporated.
Divide the dough in half, and wrap each
half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at
least two hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177
degrees C) and place rack in center
of oven. Line 2 baking sheets with
parchment paper and set aside while
you roll out the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the
dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a gingerbread cutter to cut out the cookies. With an offset spatula lift the cut out
cookies onto the baking sheet, placing the cookies about 1 inch (2.54 cm) apart. If you are hanging the cookies or using as
gift tags, make a hole at the top of the cookies with a straw or end of a wooden skewer.
Bake for about 8 - 12 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Small ones will take about 8 minutes, larger cookies will
take about 12 minutes. They are done when they are firm and the edges are just beginning to brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minutes. When they are firm enough to move,
transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, you can press raisins, currants, or candies into the dough for eyes and buttons while the cookies are still
warm. Otherwise, confectioners frosting can be used to decorate the cookies. You can also use the icing as a glue to attach
candies, raisins, and sprinkles.
Confectioners Frosting: In an electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth and well
blended. Add the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the sugar. Scrape down the sides of the
bowl and beater. Add the milk and beat on high speed until frosting is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add a little more
milk if too dry. Place the frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip and decorate the gingerbread men as desired.
Tint portions of frosting with desired food color (I use the paste food coloring that is available at cake decorating stores and
party stores).
Makes about 3 dozen cookies depending on the size of cookie cutter used. Store in an airtight container.
