Christian Mindfulness Exercises

Monday, August 29, 2022

 


GUEST POST | Christian mindfulness exercises are about helping you live the life you were called to live. Most of us think we are mindful but in reality, we are not.  Ever watched a movie and after the movie, you have no idea what the movie was about because somehow you were looking at the screen but not watching the movie?  Perhaps you attended a conference or a service at church but cannot remember what the sermon was about that evening. That is what we call being absent-minded. That’s where the concept of mindfulness comes in.   It’s about being present in the moment. 


It’s about living today to the fullest, cherishing every minute and second as it comes by. It is about finding happiness and peace in your life daily.  Sometimes life has a way of grabbing us back to the present moment or making us appreciate everything we have. Some people go through traumatic near-death experiences that make them more appreciative of life, like illness and accidents.  But you don’t need life to remind you that life itself is precious and should be cherished.  Here we will talk about Christian mindfulness and how to be present in the moment. What does God say about being mindful and what are some of the Christian mindfulness exercises that you can try?  Let’s get straight into it

How to take care of your skin in autumn?

Monday, August 8, 2022





The demand for skin care products increases when the temperature drops. We must get ready if we don't want dry, cracked skin. The season of autumn offers numerous advantages for our skin: The skin does not have to defend itself as vigorously and does not age as quickly since UV light is less intense than in the summer. Sadly, there are drawbacks as well, such as dry heated air and cold, which cause dry, irritated skin.

What Are Aha & Bha Acids in Skincare?

Tuesday, August 2, 2022

Are you wondering what AHA and BHA stand for on your skincare products? 

They have long been used for cosmetic purposes; Cleopatra bathed in milk, Polynesian women softened their skin with concoctions of fruit juices and sugar cane, and French courtesans applied wine poultices to their faces for flawless, blemish-free skin. AHA and BHA acids have also been used for many years in dermatology to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and other forms of keratosis.

Alpha (AHA) and beta (BHA) hydroxy acids are best used for skin care in the fall and winter when the sun's rays are less intense. In their natural state, hydroxy acids are present in a variety of foods that we consume every day. Examples include salicylic acid, which is present in black currants, apricots, willow bark, and evergreen trees, as well as glycolic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric acid. (Photo by Mikhail Nilov)

Ultimate Korean Skincare Products Review + discount code

Saturday, July 9, 2022




There is no doubt that Korean skincare and cosmetic products are some of the best in the world. The fact that so many beauty and skincare influencers on TikTok and Instagram are posting about them shows how much of an impact the Korean skincare industry has. I first tried my first Korean skincare product in 2018. It was Klairs' Supple Unscented Toner. I was impressed by the quality and the dedication of Korean skincare brands to making their products as natural as possible. Since then, I have always had at least one Korean skincare product included in my morning and evening skincare routine. I can honestly say that those products transformed my skin.

Today I wanted to share with you some of the new additions to my Korean skincare product collection. I'm very thankful to Stylevana for sending these products my way so I can share my honest opinions with all of you.

Reasons To Stop Going To Bed With Wet Hair

Thursday, June 9, 2022




One significant disadvantage of evening hair washing is exhaustion. Most of us are forced to skip using the hair dryer and go to sleep with wet strands. It's a habit created out of need, and you've probably done it at least once in your life. This isn't necessarily a bad thing if you are not doing it too often. Especially in the summer when it's preferable to air dry your hair rather than use artificial heat.

Even though we've been told not to sleep with wet hair since we were children, we're still not sure which of these arguments is accurate. We won't develop a cold if our hair is wet, but if the temperature in our sleeping quarters is low, damp hair can create headaches and weaken our immune system. I have some fresh information on what happens to the hair itself when we sleep while it is wet.

What Is Hyaluronic Acid & Do You Need To Use It?

Tuesday, May 31, 2022




Hyaluronic acid is a great hit in the field of  skincare and cosmetics, and it has a lot of fans because it works for practically every skin type. Even though hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the skin, joints, and connective tissue, its amount in the body decreases with age. To maintain appropriate hydration in the skin and thus avoid premature aging caused by natural drying of the skin, it is necessary to begin utilizing hyaluronic acid products in the mid-20s.

How to Enhance Your Money Situation and Achieve Financial Success

Monday, April 18, 2022




We are thinking about money these days from the standpoint of negative economic expectations and recession.  Many persons' finances have been impacted at their core, such as income from a job, rent, investments in financial markets, and so on. For a lot of people, consumption is limited to the most basic requirements: utilities, food, and just a small portion of their desires. With all of our responsibilities, we have little time to indulge in a few minor pleasures, and this may be the only way for us to relax and let go of the stress (Photo by micheile dot com on Unsplash).
