With less exposure to the sun in the winter, we can loose a lot of Vitamin D. The suns rays haven’t provided us with the nutrients we need or given us that glow. This can leave a lot of us looking and feeling pale.

Get your daily Vitamin D in your foods or supplements and 10 minutes daily without sunblock, the sun to help with your overall health, mood and appearance. You can check with your doctor to see where your Vitamin D levels are.

Cod liver oil pills on white TipsfromTia.comToo much vitamin D is rare, but can be harmful. After winter, levels can be low. It’s always best to have your doctor check them annually. If you are in the sun longer than 10 minutes be sure to apply a sunblock even in the colder months.

And, give your self a natural looking glow with a face bronzer. Apply it in “3/E” strokes. Start at the top of the forehead and stroke to the cheek while, finishing at the chin on both sides of your face.

Start Off on the Right Foot with Generous New Year Investments. By Guest Blogger, Daniel R.

Start Off on the Right Foot with Generous New Year Investments

All of us like to think that New Year will bring a fresh start, both when it comes to our private lives and to business. Starting off on the right foot with generous investments is something that should concern all the local authorities in the world, simply because there are so many people out there who need their help. There is so much to be done, but one question inevitably arises – Who needs our help the most? Stay with us in order to find out the answer.

• Homeless People

Winter can be very tough, and homeless people certainly know that first-hand. Helping them during the cold days is something that we as humans need to do, and local authorities are the ones who should make it happen. Building a shelter where homeless can stay when the low temperatures strike has to be financed from the budget, as well as the food that should be provided for those people. Besides that, we are the ones who have to help, too. Donating canned goods or a bag of groceries to a local homeless shelter may seem insignificant, but they will certainly appreciate your concern.

• People Who Are Battling Cancer

Supporting people with cancer is very important because they need our positive energy as a motivation to deal with it. Providing a centre for support within a local hospital may be the right thing for local authorities to start a New Year. Counselling can help the patients to sort out different types of problems they may face while dealing with cancer, which is exactly why authorities should invest a certain amount of money for educating people for the purpose for helping the patients. Also, the government may finance various projects and workshops that will help those people divert their thoughts from the disease by channelling their energy into something creative.

• Children Without Parental Care

Unfortunately, more and more children nowadays lose their first line of protection – their parents. Many of them live in orphanages or other institutions with other children who are there because of the same circumstances. These kids do not need much to be happy. Investing some money from the local budget into constructing a playground for them is a great way to show that they are important, too. Tubes and tunnels, climbing walls, swings, seesaws and playhouses are just some of the elements that are required for building a perfect playground. Besides that, it can be painted in order to be both educational and entertaining. For example, you can paint a permanent hopscotch, so that all the girls can enjoy it without having to draw it every time they want to play. In that way they will learn the numbers, and the jumping will improve their motor skills. Another great idea is to use your practical cordless tool kit to build a tree-house with rope ladders and watchtower.

• People with Disability

It is well-known that people with disabilities, and especially those in wheelchair, often find themselves in very challenging situations as soon as they go outside of their homes. Local authorities should have that in mind when planning the annual budget, simply because there are so many things that need to be provided for these people. Ramps that will help them approach and enter any building and parking spots for the disabled are just some things to start with. Besides that, all of us should help those people and understand that even though they are slightly different – they are still humans as all of us.

Finding a way to help to people in need is actually what defines us as human beings. The amount of help is not important – it is essential that we recognize that there are many people around who are not as lucky as we are. As soon as we acknowledge that, the world will become a much better place to live.

Winter Heating Drying Out Sinuses?

By Tia Cristy

Quickies: Is winter heating drying out your sinuses?
Tips from Tia heater

Here’s a quick tip that can change the air you breathe. Depending upon the air/heating system you have in your home, is how to do this quick tip. All you need is a clean disposable pan you get at the store or from takeout, and fill it half way with water.

Forced Air: Put the pan of water as close to the vent without covering the plate

Baseboard Heat:

Choose an open corner that won’t have heavy traffic and slide as close under as you can get. (SIDE NOTE: do not put directly under an outlet)

Radiators: Place pan under radiator.

The heat will evaporate the water into the air to give it some moisture. The water will evaporate over a couple days. Rinse pan and refill with fresh water to keep the air fresh. You can use any pan that will fit in the area, I just suggest the disposable since it will leave a crystallization behind on the pan.

Rhinoplasty – What is the Ideal Age for a nose job? By Guest Blogger Diana S.

Rhinoplasty – What is the Ideal Age for a nose job?

Rhinoplasty is the second most popular plastic surgery in Australia, according to a study published by RealSelf, the largest community for learning and sharing information on cosmetic surgery. Not only are rhinopasty as well as other surgical procedures common with adults, but the growing trend shows that teenagers are interested in their benefits, as well. Ever since Kylie Jenner sparked a debate about her lip enhancement, the issue of young people going under the knife has been discussed exhaustively.

Is a teenager psychologically mature enough for rhinoplasty?

Even though the reasons why both adults and young adults consider plastic surgery are rather similar (both groups would like to improve their appearance in order to increase self-esteem), teenagers are in the period of their life when they have a strong desire to fit in with others. A teen should show emotional maturity by understanding why they want to have nose surgery: are they doing it for themselves, or for other people in their surroundings?

Australian plastic surgeons are warning teenagers to heed caution before they consider surgery after a Chinese teen reportedly underwent extreme procedures to win over her boyfriend. In addition, the Medical Board of Australia proposed guidelines regarding an operation for young adults in March, 2015. The guidelines proposed in the paper include a three-month cooling-off period and the assessment of patients under the age of 18 by a registered psychologist, or psychiatrist.

Is a teenager physically mature enough for rhinoplasty?

In order for a teenager to be a good candidate for nose job, a plastic surgeon must determine whether s/he has complete facial growth and whether s/he is in good overall health. When it comes to facial features, the nose must reach its adult size before surgery can be taken into consideration. The girls aged 15 and 16 and the boys aged 16 and 17 are considered to be near peak physical growth.
A teen, or an adult may not be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if h/she has serious health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, a bleeding disorder, heart disease, or depression. Teenagers who smoke have to quit for 2, or 4 weeks prior to surgery. Any medications, or supplements even vitamins and herbal products a patient takes should be reported to a surgeon.

Does a teenager have realistic expectations?

The consultation appointment is an extremely important part of surgery. It is crucial for a teenager to understand what type of final result s/he can expect. Depending on the facial structure and proportions, individual concerns and desires, a surgeon will make an expert recommendation about the outcome of surgery. The ultimate goal is that the nose looks natural on the face and only surgeon is qualified to determine which changes are appropriate.

Nose surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure, which means that there is no overnight stay. Depending on the specific case, a patient may get local, or general anaesthesia. During the procedure, a surgeon makes cuts within the nostril and sometimes across the base of the nose in order to reshape the cartilage and the inner bone. During a recovery period, a patient wears a nasal splint for the first week. Swelling and bruising are expected lasting about three days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 3 to 6 weeks after surgery. A teen may miss school during a recovery period, so the best advice is to schedule an operation at school holidays.

Do teenagers and their family know how to find a qualified surgeon?

The first step in finding a surgeon is to discover whether s/he has the Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) qualifications. In order to become FRACS members, surgeons undergo a basic surgical training for two years after the intern year and then have four to five years of advanced surgical training. After the completion of the advanced training, surgeons take the examination.

At consultations, you should ask a surgeon about his/her training, how many procedures he/she has done, how many procedures are done annually and what results have been. Additionally, always ask about before and after pictures.

Finally, a teen should have a strong support network before, during and after rhinoplasty. The support of family and friends is as important as any other aspect of the procedure.
