Ever wondered of a room that would always make you feel fresh and full of life? Well you can make one, just by changing the interiors. Sounds amazing? Just read this article then.
You have been in your own room for a while but it still looks like a pad, doesn’t it? The bedroom is the place you spend the maximum time, it should have a calming, peaceful ambience – the importance of color in altering the look and style of one’s personal space can’t be underestimated.
So here are some tips to make your bedroom look more elegant and cheerful forever.
• Neutral Base
-> Stick to neutral walls, floors and furniture. This is a good base from which to start decorating as neutral is neither masculine nor feminine. Choose white for a contemporary look and cream for a more traditional look.
• Perfect Bed Linen
-> Choose your bed linen carefully. Avoid florals or patterns that are too girlie – stripes are good, they add both color and detail, but area not too fussy. Pick out colors in the bed linen and use these to choose coordinating accessories. Take the pillowcase with you when you’re shopping for accessories, so you can match the colors exactly.
• Color Choice
-> The most important choice when creating a room that appeals to you. Red is a romantic color, but it should be used sparingly to avoid a cheesy Valentine’s look. Combined with white, red looks fresh and contemporary. Add brown or grey for a masculine edge.
• Cushion Arrangement
-> Symmetrical cushions will unite a couple’s space. Place the cushions straight rather than an angel – this creates a sophisticated, up-to-date look.
• Clever Lighting
-> In case of a couple or double-bed, Reading lamps attached to each side of your bed are practical as well as stylish. They allow each of you to be in control of your light in case one of you wants to read a bit longer. The soft light they cast creates a relaxing mood – perfect for couple’s bedroom.
• Flowers
-> Bring your room to life with a vase of tall white flowers. They add feminine touch and match your décor perfectly, yet are not over-fussy.

Case of Extreme Overweightness
Q: I am overweight and I have been trying to lose weight for almost two years. However, even when I do manage to lose weight I tend to regain it quite easily.
Recently someone suggested that I try a surgery wherein I can lose weight gradually over a year and a half or so. Are there surgeries like this? Are they actually helpful and what are some of the side-effects? Should I undergo this one or any other type of weight reducing surgery?
A: Here are some treatments required:
* Weight reduction surgeries are called bariatric surgery and are usually done using key-hole access (laproscopic). They either reduce the stomach’s capacity or interfere with food absorption.
* There is also a non-surgical temporary method that reduces your food intake. In this method an intra-gastric balloon is inserted endoscopically. This remains in the stomach for six months and makes you feel full even when you’ve eaten only small amounts of food.
* These methods are only meant for those who are morbidly obese, where the body mass index (BMI) is more than 40. First you need to find out if you fall in this category.
* If you are not obese, a healthy lifestyle and body contouring surgery should suffice to get you into a good shape. Body contouring surgery includes liposuction/liposculpting, which reduces excess fat from certain areas of one’s body, and body lift surgery if required.
* One important thing to be advised that before considering any kind of surgery, please consult your physician rule out any hormonal problems you may have (in case of women).

Hair Fall Everywhere???
Hair breakage is a common problem affecting most of the men & women all over the world. The causes are many, ranging from treating your hair to color and perms, tying hair tightly and not maintaining it well even using the wrong shampoo and conditioner. Don’t forget the harassing effects of the pollution.

* You need to be doubly careful of the shampoo you use on your hair to prevent and protect it from breaking. Pick one that suits your hair and avoid experimenting with different products in the market.
* It’s known that a balanced diet helps keep hair healthy and in turn prevent hair from breaking easily. It also helps make your hair grow stronger.
* Treat your hair kindly and gently. Do not apply too much pressure while combing it and never use harsh treatments such as coloring, straightening, blow-drying, perming and bleaching to protect your hair and keep them healthy and strong.
* Allow your hair to air dry a bit before beginning to blow-dry it. This means you’ll spend less time on your style and your hair will reap the benefits of less time in the heat.
* Most importantly, never take chances when it comes to your shampoo and conditioner. Using the wrong shampoo and conditioner can make your hair weak, dry and lackluster which leads to hair breakage.

* If your hair breaks easily, try to use Velcro rollers instead of metal brushes and curling irons when styling your do. They don’t get as hot as metal stylers which can possibly burn or damage your hair.
* Brushing your hair gently tells how much you love your hair, this improves blood circulation which in turn results in stronger hair follicles. This prevents hair from breaking easily.
* It’s also important to clean hair properly. Never brush wet hair – you will just damage it and cause it break more easily. If you must, use a wide-toothed comb and gently disentangle parts of it at a time.
* Brush your hair before washing in shower. You will have less tangles when you get out of the shower which means no more tugging or pulling fragile wet hair which can snap easier when it’s dry.
* Pamper your hair with a shampoo and conditioner with fruit vitamins. While having a shower, wet your hair, apply the shampoo and rinse it throughout. After that apply the conditioner, leave for 2 minutes and again rinse throughout. This is the best way to keep the hair healthy and shiney.
