Labor Day's Quick Tips 4 U

Health:

Make a list of everything you know that promotes good health. (Read some of these earlier tips to help you.) Put a check mark next to any you do regularly. Circle any that you don't do very often. Put an X next to any you never do. Now spend a day or two thinking about what you don't do to be healthier and ask yourself why!



Wealth

Experts say you should save 10% of all your income regularly. Have that amount deducted from your checking account and put into a savings or investment account. When you get more income, increase the amount transferred. After a few months you won't notice the decrease in spendable income.

Many national corporations as well as more than 1 million families have benefited from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.

Diet:

Start your meal with a salad. Keep salad fixings crisping in the frig. Add a low fat dressing or use a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice and fresh herbs. Drink a glass of vegetable juice with the salad and you will have healthfully cut your appetite, and increased your servings of vegetables.  Yeah You.

Fashion and Style:

Wearing clothes too big will make you look bigger. A belt or scarf hanging down toward your legs will make them look longer. A solid color outfit is slimming.


Exercise:

Don't have time for a full workout? Incorporate it in your day. Stretch when dressing; squat when picking something up off the floor; reach for the ceiling anytime you are waiting; swing your arms when walking; commit to working out no matter how much time you have.

Beauty:No time for makeup. Tint your moisturizer with your foundation and smooth on. While waiting for it to dry, put on two coats of lipstick, touch your lips with clean fingers and blot on cheeks for blush. Sweep eyes with shadow and put on two coats of mascara. You are on your way and looking good.





Spirit:Make it a habit to congratulate yourself for making the effort to be the best you can be. Even if you don't feel you've done your best, congratulate yourself anyway and soon, very soon you'll be doing your best every day.

Six Steps to Natural Health

First Time Readers!

If this is the first time you are reading this blog, be sure to check out previous posts listed at the bottom of this page.

A brief explanation of Why I write this 'Quickie Tips 4 Life" Blog.
I started researching health because I wasn't healthy. The same is true of the other subjects in this blog:wealth; style; diet; exercise; and beauty. I've learned so much reading articles and magazines, and web sites, that I decided I wanted to capsulize it and share the info with others. I hope you will subscribe to the feed, become a regular viewer, comment, and add your tips.

Health:

Beans are known for their cancer fighting antioxidants. They are also packed with fiber which binds with toxins, creating a broom sweeping them out of your system. 1/2 a cup a day is recommended. Hummus with raw vegetables is an excellent way to get them.

Wealth:

Lower utility bills by switching off your PC when not in use.

Exercise:

If you’re pressed for time, break up your activity sessions into manageable chunks. For example, take four 5-minute “mini” walks each day or get up 10 minutes earlier and do some simple stretches.

Beauty:

Lip liner creates a waxy base that will hold your lip color. After lining lips, dab liner lightly on lips and follow with color.

Style:

Color jeans are the hottest item this season. Find them in red, blue, green and even yellow.

Spiritual:

Bring more joy in your life with joy filled thoughts.
