Does the media’s glam representation of how women should be in the:
- Boardroom
- Bedroom, and
- The Mirror . . .
. . . lull us into thinking we’re much more powerful than we really are, or stir our anxiety into believing we cannot age gracefully, by peddling false fantasies?
Do the leading female gurus of our country distract women from advocating real change by over-focusing on self-improvement?
Does the image of the youthful, fierce and sexy Superwoman actually thwart womens’ forward momentum?
Good questions, huh?
In this 3-part blog, we will share with you a few awarenesses that we have come to – candidly and honestly. We hope that you feel free to leave a comment or two on how you feel about it too. In fact, start now!
Next Tuesday, look for SkinAgain’s Part One candid take on: Women in the Boardroom.
Is your mind wandering back to all of the projects you need to tackle this week (or some you procrastinated on last week), while trying to deal with the task at hand?
A distracted mind typically makes you less productive, and more stressed.
Here’s how to change your frequency and calm your mind–quickly.
Yoga practitioners believe that alternate nostril breathing is one of the quickest ways to balance your left and right brain, and calm the mind. It takes less than 5 minutes from which you’ll emerge feeling refreshed and ready to move forward with your day.
Here’s why: Breath flowing through the right nostril is more stimulating while breath moving through the left nostril is more quieting or sedating. To alternate between the two encourages equanimity, clarity of thought, a feeling of being centered and even an experience of mental and subtle body purification. The Sanskrit name for this breath, nadi shodhana, speaks to this, because it translates to mean cleansing the nadis, which allows us to then experience greater balance.
Here’s how: Find a comfortable seated position with your spine long and straight. Use your thumb of your right hand to gently seal your right nostril. Begin by exhaling through your left nostril as long as it is comfortable. Then inhale through your left nostril as long as it is comfortable. Switch the position of your hand by gently sealing your left nostril with the ring finger of your right hand, releasing your thumb from the right nostril. Exhale through your right nostril for as long as it is comfortable and then inhale through your right nostril—again, for as long as it is comfortable.

Our face reflects how we feel inside. We can fake it for a while, but when we’re uncomfortable for an extended period of time, it will show on our face and radiate from our body as a frequency that other can feel and see.
Let’s admit it, out health care system lacks. We put off having that ’spot’ looked at by the Dermatologist because we’re scrambling to get the referrals from our HMO Provider, or we just don’t have the co-pay right now, or whatever! Same with aches and pains that we know could be solved with a simple Chiropractic adjustment, but our insurance doesn’t pay for it. Or how about this: the girl that just recovered for H1N1 has never felt the same. She’s tired all of the time, the doctors don’t have answers and her insurance won’t cover the ‘Alternative’ holistic approach that just might give her body the elements for regeneration?
Well, here’s a new ‘eaht care system’ we’ve discovered that gives you the tools to make yourself feel better – almost instantly, and you know what the greatest thing about it is? No meds to buy, no supplements to purchase, no doctors to pay!
It has such great benefits on the human body, that it is even rumored that President obama and Oprah Winfrey are onboard!

In competition with the apple, an orgasm a day may keep the doctor away! An orgasm is on eof the healthiest things you can give yourself each day.
Take a looksey:
- Sex makes you glow because it improves blood circulation, which helps to pump oxygen to your skin, eliminating toxins and making it brighter.
- Just as with people who excerise, having sex reduces your hormone levels and balances them out. The result? Clearer skin for those who are acne-prone (along with healthier hair).
- As you have sex, you are boosting collagen production, which staves off age spots and sagging.
- Once you hit menopause, your skin quality diminishes and suddenly you may notice your face is extremely dry. By having sex and getting the blood and oxygen flowing, you can keep dry skin away regardless of your age.
- A study was done on sex and youth a few years back to prove this point. In a span of 10 years, 3,500 men and women, both those who had sex regularly and those who didn’t, were put on one side of a two-way mirror, where participants on the other side had to guess their age. The group that had an active sex life had their age underestimated by seven to 12 years, while some thought the group that only had sex infrequently actually looked older!
- The same hormones that are released to make your skin glow will also keep your nails strong, especially during pregnancy.
- Don’t replace your eight glasses of water with eight hours of sex, but having sex will keep your skin hydrated. Since it improves circulation, the blood will circulate around your body more efficiently, giving your skin the moisture it needs to stay healthy.
- During sex, you’re giving your face a free facial. The sweat will clean from your pores the dirt, grime, and makeup residue you miss when you cleanse your face during the day.

At least once a week, I don’t straighten my hair. I have a heard of, what I like to call, a ‘multicontinent mane’. It’s a plethora of Afro-Euro-Alien hairs that all have a mind of their own. When someone sees me on my ‘natural hair day’ (I used to call it a ‘bad hair day’) it’s usually accompanied by a “Whoa – I didn’t know you had…. (pause to find a descriptive)….curly hair!” Growing up, I hated the attention my full, crazy hair attracted. Throughout early church school years, when I was supposed to be praying for world peace (which I regularly do now), I would instead supplicate for either “black girl” or “white girl” hair. “Your choice, God! Just get rid of this poodle perm my Afro- Euro-Alien blood has cursed me with. Amen.”
God had a much larger agenda, so hair drama followed me into high school. Straight, parted-in-the-middle-with-a-hippie-headband was the trend, and to get the ‘look’, I’d spend hours literally ironing my hair on the iron board and that was after I had already rolled my hair on frozen orange juice cans and slept in them all night. Of course, I’d seal the deal with Dippity Doo and Aqua Net.
Then the world turned on its axis . . .
The blow dryer was invented!
I do think its funny – the expressions I get on my natural hair days. I appreciate how many crazy textures exist on my scalp – at least once a week I do. I don’t call it a “bad hair day” anymore. My granddaughter loves playing ‘in’ it.
Please tell us about your unique hair and how you have found fun ways to enhance its natural ‘mind of its own’.
