Syawal
Anggun
Memandangkan tidak lama lagi seluruh umat
Islam bakal menyambut lebaran, mungkin koleksi
busana kali ini dapat membantu untuk menceriakan
sambutan perayaan Hari Raya Aidilf itri dengan
penggunaan warna-warna terang untuk si Manis.
Menggunakan warna-warna ceria, si pemakai masih
anggun dan sopan dengan rekaan baju kurung
moden. Keindahan terserlah apabila busana ini
diberi perincian seperti lace, sulaman atau manik.
Koleksi busana dengan warna

Pasti si Jelita tampil menawan

requent exposure to UV light causes the skin to
look dry and tired. To counter this, all you need is
a nourishing skin cream and Himalaya has created
one from high quality natural ingredients that promises
clean, smooth skin like the smooth surfaces of the snowcapped Himalayas.
The cream is a light, non-greasy, daily-use cream,
which provides all day moisturizing, nourishment and
protection. The extracts of Aloe Vera, Winter Cherry,
Indian Kino Tree and Indian Pennywort are blended
together to protect the wearer from pollution and dry
weather by providing nourishment and moisture to skin.
Aloe Vera is known for its many healing properties and is
a natural UV inhibitor, rich in enzymes,
polysaccharides and nutrients.
Winter Cherry is an
effective anti-stress agent. In skin care, this
plant is used for its antioxidant action, which helps skin
cell regeneration.
The Indian Kino Tree has astringent properties which
work as a skin tonic to tone and rejuvenate
facial skin while the Indian Pennywort is regarded as the
best home remedy for skin disorders
such as chronic ulcers and persistent eczema. This

SMART TIPS

HABITS
THAT AGE YOU
STAYING LATE NIGHT
Staying up late is fun in your teens, but burning
the midnight oil can make you look older as you
age. Beauty sleep is not just an old wives' tale.
“Sleep deprivation causes bags under the eyes
and droopy, tired eyelids and pallor,” says Dr. Allen
Towfigh, a board-certified sleep medicine doctor
and neurologist affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical
Center/New
York
Presbyterian
Hospital.
“This
makes us look less healthy, and, hence, we appear
less attractive to others.”
LET IT GO
If you’re unable to let bygones be bygones, you may
add years to your body. Several studies show a link
between forgiveness and physical health. A study
published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine from
2005 showed that a lack of forgiveness increased
nervous symptom activity, contributing to a greater
number of medications taken and decreased
sleep quality. “Holding a grudge increases stress,
which boosts levels of the hormone cortisol,”
says Dr. Jennifer Landa, chief medical officer of
BodyLogicMD, an anti-aging network. Learn how to
let go, and you may live longer.
EXERCISE REGULARLY
Many studies show that regular exercise helps
prevent age-related diseases and prolongs life
span. “Daily exercise helps lower cortisol levels and
increases beneficial hormones like testosterone.
It also helps control high blood pressure, improve
mood and keeps us strong and flexible as we age. The
American College of Sports Medicine recommends
30 minutes of activity most days of the week.
SAY NO TO SUGAR
If you never say no to dessert, you may be saying
yes to more wrinkles. Sugar increases aging of every
part of our body. Eating a diet high in sugar will not
only damage your waistline but it will increase your
risk of diabetes and can even cause skin problems,
especially acne and wrinkles.
SMOKING IS BAD
It’s time to kick those butts to the curb if
you want to live a long, healthy life. A clear
link between smoking and longevity exists,
and the earlier you quit, the more years
you add to your life. A study published
in the American Journal of Public Health
in 2002 showed that smokers who quit
at age 35 add approximately eight years
to their life, compared with people who
continue to smoke. Smokers have higher
risks of almost any disease under the sun,
including cancer, heart disease, dementia
and generally premature death.
DON'T TOUCH YOUR
EYES
Tired eyes? Avoid rubbing them if you want
to stay younger-looking. Rubbing your eyes
breaks down the collagen and elasticity
around the area, which produces wrinkles
and broken capillaries. “The skin in this
area is incredibly thin and extremely sensitive and vulnerable to sun damage and wrinkling. For relief
from tired or irritated eyes, instead of rubbing them, try brewing two green tea bags, allow them to cool
and place them over your eyes for 10 minutes.
MAINTAIN YOUR WEIGHT
Stay young by attaining a healthy body weight and sticking to it. Losing and regaining weight ages you by
increasing your risk of heart disease and diabetes, according to a 2012 study published in The Journals
of Gerontology, Series A, Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences. In the study, 80 overweight and
obese women followed a five-month diet, losing an average of 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms). They regained
an average of 32 percent of the lost weight within the following year. The women who regained weight
had increased levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, total cholesterol, insulin levels and measurements of
insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes
SLEEPING WITH YOUR FACE SMASHED INTO THE PILLOW
CAN MAKE YOU LOOK YEARS OLDER IN A COUPLE OF WAYS
“Persistently pressing your face into a pillow causes trauma to the skin. Over time, this trauma,
aggravated by the friction of a cotton pillowcase, can create permanent creases as collagen breaks
down. The skin’s ability to regenerate itself is also compromised by the impaired circulation to the part
of the face pressed into the pillow. Sleep on your back to stay younger-looking, or use a satin pillowcase
to minimize the friction.
RELAX
When did you last take a vacation or simply relax? Men living moderate- to high-stress lifestyles for a
number of years have a 50 percent higher mortality rate, according to a 2011 study from the Journal of
Aging Research. using the “four A’s” to relax: avoid the source of stress, alter your reaction to it, accept
things as they are or adapt by changing your expectations.
SAY NO TO JUNK FOOD
Living on junk food and fast food dumps unhealthy levels of sodium, fat and cholesterol into your system,
which boosts the aging process and increases the likelihood of obesity. Avoiding processed foods and
eating more whole foods reduces the amount of added sugar and fat in your diet and decreases these
risks.
DRINK WATER
Increasing the amount of water you drink each day may be the key to younger-looking skin. Water is
essential to maintaining skin moisture and helps deliver essential nutrients to the skin. Water helps
your skin cells rejuvenate faster. On the reverse, loss of hydration in the skin can cause dryness,
tightness, flakiness and tends to make you look older. Dry skin has less resilience and is more prone
to wrinkling, which can make you look older. In addition to drinking water, eating foods high in water
content, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant, which are more than 90 percent water.

Short trips & Fuel tips
Try to cut down on the air-conditioning use,
since it also increases fuel consumption,
especially if your car is moving at a slow speed.
Another good idea is to carpool with friends
