By Syeda Nida Ali Rizvi

The way you think and act affect your daily life. Depression is a kind of medical disorder that is both common and serious and affects how you feel and act. The rate of depression has climbed up to 18% since 2005. Another study conducted by The NIMH reveals that in the US alone 16 million adults suffered from depression in the year 2012 alone. According to World Health Organization (WHO), almost 350 million people suffer from depression worldwide.

Depression is the biggest cause of pessimistic, negative state of mind, feeling of sadness and loss of interest in life and daily routine activities. It can hit you out of the blue and if persistent, depression can lead to a variety of problems that are both emotional and physical. This depression can leave you in hours of adversity.

The Hotter Lipstick Shades For Spring-Summer

By Anny Carryon

With the new season around the corner all the fashion and beauty trends are starting to revile on the streets, Pinterest and Instagram.

If you have a fashionable friend or follow bloggers they're probably already wearing upside-down eyeliner, white shoes and small sunglasses. Let's don't forget the different shades of red lipstick and the glossy lips.

Red Lips

Okay! Red hot lips are not a new trend because they are classic. But the way we are going to complement our red lipstick this spring-summer is the trend. No cat eye or heavy eyeshadow, go minimalist and give all the focus to your lips.

Lip Gloss

I don't know about you but glossy lips are taking me back to my high school years. The 90's juicy lips are back! Rock this trend with an under need vampire lip color like the models on Phillip Plein catwalk or go natural with a sheer finish color. I recommend you to just apply a lip gloss during the day with a colorful eyeshadow or go with a naked makeup. At night layer your lipstick with lip gloss.

Lip Balm

Who doesn't like a fresh face during summer? I love to go natural and show off my tan skin.

Etro and Balmain are some of the designers that proposed a natural makeup for this spring-summer, mascara and lip balm.

Lip blams are perfect for summer because they hydrate your lips. Lanc�me and Dior lip blams turn into a pretty and natural pink tone perfect for a pool side makeup look.

Fun Fuchsia

Dolce and Gabbana chose to change the traditional and sexy red for a passionate and fun metallic fuchsia. Wear this color lip with a double mascara eye look or with a light pink eye shadow.

Nude

Nude tones are elegant, minimalist and chic. I love wearing nude lipstick all day long. At night add a statement eye like Fendi's spring-summer 2018 catwalk.

Orange lips

Orange is probably one of the hardest shades to pull off this year but it's my favorite trendy color for summer. Orange lips go well with tanned skin just add a little bit of gold highlighter, mascara and you will be ready to party.

No matter the season, fall, winter, spring or summer this 2018 makeup trends are all about statement eye makeup, minimalist lips and vice versa. Say bye, bye to the monochromatic red makeup trend and say hello to fun eyeshadow colors with more natural lips.

Sometimes That 'Little Voice' Can Really Yell

By Diane Babcock

Magnum's Little Voice
I used to love watching Magnum PI with Tom Selleck in 1980s and I always got a kick out of every time he referred to 'that little voice' and what it was telling him to do or not to do. Sometimes he listened and sometimes he didn't and he regretted it if he ignored it, but he carried on anyway.

Later, I came to understand that he was talking about insight or hunches and that made perfect sense to me since he could read clues and people so well, and he was so focused on his goal of finding the truth about a crime. Magnum's character had a real knack for tracking down perpetrators and his internal guidance system was that little voice of his. I remember wanting to be able to hear more from my own little voice, but I was no private investigator, so I wondered where I could use such a skill.

Noticing My Own Little Voice
A few years later I noticed I did have assured guidance that revealed solutions for me and it prompted me in daily life, as long as I wasn't totally distracted by problems. At first it was very sporadic and seemed quite coincidental. Like the time I saw a nice duplex while driving down the street and got an impression along with the thought, "I would like to live there." A few months later it was for rent and I was able to move in right away. Of course I had all of my stuff in storage and was living in a cabin on a beach 40 miles from town before it came up for rent, but I still recall the impression I got when I first saw the building. More synchronicity happened over the years, but I never paid too much attention to it at those times.

Decades later I realized I wanted those synchronous events to be the norm and not just happenstance, so I set about figuring out how to make it so. After much contemplation that involved stretching many of the synapses in my brain beyond my current puddle of knowledge the idea was presented: getting better at being the real me was key to reading the subtle energies that guide me to fulfill my life's purpose. By the time this concept reached the forefront of my consciousness I had already done much in the way of soul/self-searching, so a little more inner work was not a problem.

Finding My Big Voice
Now things were getting interesting. Good thoughts and emotions were brought into sync with good feelings and my true character was shining through. At each deliberate step inward towards the real me and even farther away from what was left of my devitalized ego I found more and more serenity and a new kind of power - in my own voice. I then asked of myself, "What do I do now?" and the answer came resounding simultaneously through all my senses: MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN!

It came as a thought so loud it seemed I was being yelled at; it came as an explosion of energy from the depths of my solar plexus so strong I felt the charge throughout my entire body; it came as impression of truth so uplifting I felt I was no longer on the planet earth. It was exciting and surreal; it left me dazed and light-headed; I felt silly and giddy and more than alive. It was the highest I've ever been on life and there was no sign I was coming down from this plane.

The Power Behind The Voice
Now if someone says or does something insensitive that bothers me I just focus on the me inside and somehow an adjustment is made in the universe. It's as if the surrounding air is immediately filled with the health negative ions to neutralize the unhealthy negative energy. By maintaining my focal point on my inner serenity I am also keeping my energy safe from getting entangled in theirs, which means I don't have to deal with their ego.

The helpful information that floats across the filaments of our senses as inspirational thoughts, impressions, ideas, epiphanies and gut feelings is very much a part of the human experience. Though some would pooh-pooh these inklings as airy-fairy notions, they are one of our most accurate means of reading a situation or receiving an answer when hard-pressed for a solution to a problem. In fact, the more honest we are with ourselves the more clear and regular the messages become and the greater the richness in our life experience grows.

Spirituality is a term fraught with controversy and misconception, but from this author's point of view we are all spiritual to varying degrees in our connection to the higher intelligence of divine knowledge. Learn ways to kick-start the spiritual process at Life Might

One of the easiest ways to explain how to use and develop our spiritual nature is to learn how to pay attention to our own little voice that shows up as hunches, gut instincts and intuition all of the time.

Steps to Increase Awareness on Immunization to Prevent Diseases

By Billie Jean Bateson

Know the Importance of Immunization:

Immunization is the process of administering a vaccine thus by triggering the immune system to fight against infectious diseases. It is a powerful, safe, proven and effective shield. If a person is vaccinated, in case if they come in contact with the vaccine-preventable diseases, their immune system not only effectively protects them but also helps to avoid spreading to others. You can even make sure that you can have a healthy baby if you have a maternal vaccination while pregnant.

What are vaccine-preventable diseases?

The WHO lists some diseases such as tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, influenza, pneumococcal infections, diphtheria - that can result in serious complications and even death but vaccines are available to prevent them. The worldwide eradication of smallpox and polio are the major examples of how immunization can play a vital role in disease control.

Purpose of World Immunization Week:

Each year World Immunization Week is celebrated globally in the last week of April as per the WHO mandate, mainly to increase awareness and to highlight the combined action required to increase rates of immunization and also to ensure that every person is protected from vaccine-preventable diseases. This year, it is observed from 24-30 April 2018 and the theme is "Protected Together #Vaccines Work".

Steps to Increase Awareness to Prevent:

In the United States, though immunization coverage rates are increasing, yet in many communities, people lacked knowledge on vaccination and held misguided information that the vaccines are not necessary, putting them at serious risk of these potentially fatal diseases. It is time to make them understand that immunization saves millions of lives and globally, it is considered as one of the most successful and cost-effective health medication. There are many ways you can start getting your cause noticed.

Extend your support to the organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in their effort in protecting children with recommended vaccinations.

Communication helps facilitate the sharing of information. Talk to friends, colleagues and family members about the importance of immunization.

Encourage those around you to get vaccinated for infectious diseases which can be prevented by immunization. It is important that both children and adults have all the necessary immunizations to protect them from infection.

Social media plays a vital role in spreading awareness. You can post eye-catching pictures with a message highlighting World Immunization Week on your media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram through which your message can reach remarkably.

The rate of increase of vaccination in a given community depends on both service factors and the extent to which the public understands the immunization process. Organize an awareness campaign in your community in coordination with healthcare professionals and Government officials, to emphasize the need of immunization to protect the public from infectious diseases. Arrange to distribute some attractive giveaway gifts with awareness message will go a long way. In view of the easy customizable nature, giving customized silicone wristbands is one of the best ways to create the desired impact. Irrespective of age, people love to wear these fashion accessories. You can get them easily online with your choice of colors, types, and sizes.

Since this year's theme is "Protected Together #Vaccines Work", we all join together to create awareness on immunization to prevent diseases.

Paleo Diet Basics and Benefits

By Stacy Sanchez

The healthiest way you can eat.

If you want to eat healthy, the paleo diet is the answer. It's considered the only nutritional approach that really works with the genetics. It helps to be strong, stay lean and have energies. Many research, in several fields: Ophthalmology, Dermatology, biology, biochemistry, etc, say it's the modern diet humans need. It's important to understand what is the root of degenerative diseases like heart disease, Parkinson's, obesity, diabetes, infertility, etc. Food that contain refined foods, trans fats and sugar are part of this root.

Building A Healthy Paleo Diet.

Here are some foods you should use in your paleo diet:

Fresh fruits.
Fresh vegetables.
Poultry.
Grass-fed beef.
Seafood.
Nuts and seeds.
Eggs.
Olive oil.
coconut oil.
Walnut oil.
Avocado oil.

Lean Proteins.

These support healthy bones and optimal immune function. It also gives you the feeling of being satisfied between your meals.

Fruits and vegetables.

These are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phyto-nutrients. They reduce the developing of several degenerative diseases just like: diabetes, neurological decline and cancer.

Healthy fats from olive oil, grass-fed meat, nuts, avocados, seeds, fish oil.

Several epidemiological studies discovered that the diets rich in Monounsaturated and Omega-3 fats reduce, in a significant way, cancer, obesity, heart disease, cognitive decline, diabetes, etc.

Saturated Fats.

These fats has been demonized by the media and also by health authorities. What is really the basis for this? How about the recommendations they give? Are they justified. What's the amount and types of saturated fats people should eat? Only having scientific and historical perspective, these questions may be answered.

Some saturated fats:

Poultry with skin.
Butter.
Fatty beef.
Lamb.
Pork.
Cheese.
Lard and cream.

The amounts and types of fat found in wild meat, fowl and fish.

The amounts of fat found in grain fed animals versus the amounts found in grass-fed, is considered one of the biggest deviations away from the paleo diet. In wild meat, for example, it's quite mean and also contains very low amounts of saturated fats, but at the same time, it provides high amounts of omega-3 fats, like EPA and also DHA. Free range meat is much healthier than conventional meat, this can be proved by fatty acid analysis of wild ruminant tissues.

Health Benefits of a Paleo Diet.

What people understand and want to believe is that if the paleo diet provides best results, then it's the diet they need. Factors like: weight loss, reduced pain from auto-immunity, improved blood lipids is the proof. On the other hand, some people are really not satisfied by just following, in a blind way, this diet recommendations. All they want is understand why they are doing it. The good thing, is that the paleo diet has proved and explained all this, for several time, by testing and also scientificaly.

By taking the paleo diet as part of our life, we get rid of the foods that harm our organism, like: legumes, dairy and grains. Also we increase the intake of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.
