For some reason I've been so interested in water. Oddly enough I've been doing a lot of research on it and I've been so impressed with what I learned so I thought I should blog about it.
Everyone knows that water is good for you but have you actually looked in to what it could actually do to your body? I know before I started to educate myself with just the benefits that I was completely and utter ally clueless. All I knew was that your body was made from 70 to 80 % of water but who cares about that right?
Hah or so I thought. Here are just some of the benefits that I learned about
1. It helps you lose weight - It helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger, it’s an effective appetite suppressant so you’ll eat less.
2. Better exercise - Water regulates your body temperature. That means you’ll feel more energetic when doing exercises.
3. Water is a natural remedy for headaches- Headaches and back pain can be partly causes by dehydration.
4. Younger, fresher looking skin - Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.
5. Better mood: Since your body is getting what it needs then your body feels good, when your body feels good that's when your mood defers.
6. Reduces the risk of cancer - Studies have shown that a regular intake of water reduce the the risks of bladder cancer and colon cancer. This is because water dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and shortens the time in which they are in contact with bladder lining.
7. Helps with cramps and sprains - Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated.
I could go on forever but I'll just stop right there. I wanted to put this to the test to see how quickly my body will react to a healthy amount of water. Just so you know, I'm horrible when it comes to drinking water. I've always been a coffee, tea, and soda kind of gal so drinking just water was a bit of a challenge. Surprisingly it wasn't as hard as I thought. It really did reduce my apatite and craving of sugar. So that can of Coke or Pepsi wasn't so hard to give up. I saw amazing results in my workout routine since I could get through more exercises then I wouldn't have been able to before. Not to mention that my mood is a lot more cheerful and happy just because my body feels amazing.
If you aren't getting the regular amount of water that your body NEEDS then I suggest you try and see for yourself.
Today we were asked what coming home is so I'm going to be explain my idea of home. For me coming home isn't a specific place but somewhere where all my family is. I grew up in a big family with 5 brothers and 2 loving parents and we've moved houses several times and every time we've made the house that we lived at a place where we can call home. As long as I'm with them I feel like I'm home. That may not apply to everyone but to someone who is so family orientated I think that being with the people that are your
Although that doesn't apply to just my family. I feel at home when I'm with a close friend or someone I love like my grandma. The people who your with do have an impact on what your comfortable with. If I'm completely comfortable with sometime it has a lot to do with who I'm with and where I am. I think its safe to say that I'm not the only one who feels like that or thinks like that. To me coming home is a sense of peace, love and security. I feel all of that when I come home to my family even though it may not be rainbows and flowers all day everyday.
There is another factor that plays a role in my world and that's the design of the home. A lot of people could care less about the design of the house and what's in it but to me I think its important that when I come home I have everything I need and a space that I can call mine. One of my favorite places to spend time in is actually my room and I love just relaxing in my bed while I listen to music and dose off into my own world for a few minutes. I feel comfortable enough to let all my thoughts run around while I step out of reality for a while.
That to me is home.
The first year of civic mirror was a bit rocky. It was harder then I thought to get exactly what I would need for my family members to survive and prosper. I feel like it was an interesting experience because we got to see how a country needs to be controlled and the different things that could happen if no one listens to the rules and laws.
Its also opened my eyes to everyone's true colors. I saw that a lot of people are more greedy then they seem and that just because they seem like good people doesn't always mean they are. I was amazed on how other treated other class mates not only with their own selfish ways but their ego got out of hand. Its true that there are greedy people in the world and everywhere we go we will meet someone that thinks that their needs and happiness means more then someone else but I could never be like that. I grew up respecting others and thinking of other before I think of myself. That's personally how I grew up and the way I plan on teaching others if they are interested in learning. Good things happen to good people and that's something I will always carry with me through out my life.
Another thing that I was more interested was the court day. I thought that it was amazing to see people get so passionate about an issue and bring it to justice. I was part of the decision making to see who was guilty or not and I enjoyed it just because I had to be opened minded and take into concentration of the two cases that were being presented in such detailed ways. For example one of the cases brought witness and proof of evidence of their case which made me ask more questions and find out what would be the best decision not only for what's right but for the people of Zugzwang. I just wish better questions were asked to get to the bottom faster and easier.
In conclusion I thought that the first year was indeed rocky but interesting. I'm looking forward to see what would happen in the second year and what other opportunities will open.
This is the book that I've choose random and decided that it was worthy enough for a review. Its all about a tragic accidental death of a character named Robert Dillon's wife. The twelve-year old daughter named Nicky wasn't home at the time of the accident, and the effect on her as traumatic as anything yet experienced in her young life. Robert decided to move away from the city and moves Nicky to rural New Hampshire, to a small house that is isolated from likely intrusion, effectively sealing off the family from the pain of the world. In other words, he thought it would be best and more healing to move somewhere where they could be stress free and heal properly from the death.
But one day everything changes when they both went on a walk through the beautiful snow and found an abandoned baby freezing and wrapped in a bloody towel and sleeping bag. They immediately rush home to warm the baby and then take her to the hospital where she can be properly be cared for.
Days later as a snow storm is approaching, the mother of the baby comes to their home under the false pretense of looking for furniture, which Roberts makes in his barn. She eventually admits the truth about who she is, but by then it is too late for her to leave. He does not want anything to do with her but as they are faced with time alone, she tells him her side of story and his thoughts and feelings about her begin to change.
I'm going to stop there but over all in this small, deceptively simple story, Anita Shreve addresses the important themes and critical choices that affect the three protagonists. This intricate domestic drama is essentially a morality play; at the core of the novel is a simple theme of forgiveness and redemption.
In conclusion I enjoyed the book and if interested I definitely recommend it.
I've noticed a few things recently. And to be honest I feel stupid for not realizing them earlier because they were right in front of me.. Girls care more about the names on their clothes and the watches on their writs then a solid education and sometimes even values. I'm not going to say that just because you wear a designer jacket and wear a fancy gold, silver or rose gold watch makes you a horrible person. Not at all. Because if that made I'd be a hypocrite.
But that shouldn't be everything you stand for. It looks like your hiding true personality with clothes and accessories to make yourself look like your someone special.
There is more to a person then what they own and how they present themselves .. Character and ambition is what I look in people. Sure to the eye they look like a million bucks but when you look past that there's nothing to then look at anymore. All the bling and charm of those things are gone. I feel like you should focus more of what others will remember you by from 10 years from now. How amazing does it sound when someone remembers you as that girl that took her studies seriously and was an honor student? I personally think that sounds more pleasing to the ear.
Wear what you want, look the way you want to look but don't let that ego get to your head and control who you want to be is all I'm saying.
Not exactly sure how I'm going to state this, or even explain it but just bare with me. I want to blog about something that gets under my skin. I usually don't like to discuss about things that urge me to punch walls and commit total destruction around me because I like to think positively and see the good things before I can pick out the bad. But to be honest I see this so much that its pretty much impossible to run away from.
For me personally I'm completely against violence. Its just something that everyone experiences at one point in time and its sad to say but true. Being abused physically, emotionally and mentally is just horrible. I just don't know how people can go around and find some sort of pleasure in hurting someone else physically.
Why? I know there can be reasons for your actions but I'm talking about those people that just go around starting fights and encouraging others to start. I mean don't you feel guilty? I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I hurt someone physically for no reason at all. Its just to cruel. And I'll tell you why you don't feel guilty. You don't feel guilty because you think its okay, normal and its some sort of way to express your anger that's in your system. I don't know what you've been through or what you have seen but that doesn't excuse your dangerous actions.
It just doesn't and it never will. There is a reason why we have laws and punishments in our society that try to control and minimize as much violence as possible so don't try to convince me that fighting is okay and normal. If it was okay you'd be seeing everyone fighting each other at random times in the day and society would be broken because of the fact that there isn't any peace. If you think its okay then your not thinking straight. Go get yourself involved in something that will exfoliate all the negativity in your mind. Its not okay and if you don't see this your clearly blind or have some sort of mental disorder. Seriously think of how your projecting yourself to everyone around you. You just might be losing respect from people that adore you just because you don't know how to
a) control your anger or b) solve your problems. There are more ways to solve issues.
That's exactly why we have counseling, therapy etc.
In conclusion think of it like this, act smart and people will think your smart, dress nice and people will think your attractive, and fight for a joke and people will treat you as a joke.
