GOOD TIPS

We can talk for hours about the importance of both yoga and meditation to health and wellness. Both are beautiful ways to improve our lives in such fast-paced life. Personally, I believe meditating every morning is one of the best things I`ve ever done in my life, but it will always come second to improving the quality of my sleep. What Will Happen If You Don`t Get Enough Sleep Studies, experts, and successful people all believe in the importance of sleep to the quality of your life. I remember when I first watched Arianna Huffington say good sleep is the first step to success, I was surprised. But I then understood what she meant when I realized that I couldn`t get myself to relax, or work efficiently, on the days I didn`t get enough sleep, even if I rigidly meditate and do yoga. Want more proof? Here`s a list of all the things that can happen if you don`t get enough sleep, all backed by science.

Magazine covers today are adorned with drop dead gorgeous women, usually scantily clad, with so much make up on we wonder what they look like under neath all that anyway. How much of that is Botox and fillers too? Today’s cover girls are far from their natural state yet we are drawn to their beauty. And why not? They are, after all, quite stunning. However, we all know that it doesn’t take thousands of dollars of makeup and cosmetic surgery to make a woman beautiful and besides, not many men would be interested in that kind of “Barbie Doll” imaginary kind of girl anyway.

Cappadocia, Turkey is truly what  wanderlust  dreams are made of—picture a sky filled with hot air balloons and  fairy chimneys  atop honeycombed hills.

Many of the city's well-preserved caves are filled with Christian history and Byzantine frescoed paintings, while others are private homes and even modern hotels.
