Best Weight Loss Exercises to Do at Home

The hectic office routine has taken a toll on everyone’s body. So much so that people do not even get time to hit the gym. The increasing body weight is the outcome of this time-crunched lifestyle. But, blaming this work pattern for not working out is not the solution. You do not need a trainer or professional equipment to lose that bulge. You can always burn calories at the comfort of your home. So, take a look at a few best weight loss exercises which you can easily do at home and say goodbye to that extra flab.

1. Jumping jack


Jumping jack is something nearly everyone must have done at school during their PT classes. For this, what you need to do is just stand erect with your arms spread out on either side. Then jump while spreading your legs outwards and clapping your hands above your head. And, then land on the ground with legs wide open and hands joined over your head. Jump again to return back to the normal position. This warm up exercise actually improves your heart’s health and helps you to burn a lot of calories. Through this workout, you can burn at least 100 calories in 10 minutes.

2. Skipping

If you have not picked up a skipping rope since childhood, it is time to 'skip' down the memory lane once again. So, whether with a skipping rope or without it, this exercise has lot many health benefits to offer. It helps you to lose up to 450 calories in around 30 minutes. It improves blood flow, thereby keeping your heart healthy. Moreover, it boosts the density of bones, keeping osteoporosis at bay. But make sure that you do not skip in a room crammed with furniture, or else you will end up hurting yourself.

3. Spot jogging

Well if you think jogging in a park will do you more good (other than breathing fresh air), you are mistaken then. There is actually no difference between the two, as your muscles perform the same function and you burn equal amount of calories too. So, just put on a pair of shoes and start jogging at any spot you are comfortable in. Make sure you increase your speed at regular intervals, and hold on to something to give yourself some support. Besides buring your fat, this exercise tones your thighs, hips and calf muscles, leaving you with a slimmer body frame.

4. Squats

This is one exercise that should be a part of everyone's daily routine. It is simple to perform squats and requires no gym equipment. For this, just stand erect with your feet slightly apart and your arms raised to your shoulder level. 

Then bend your knees forward (in a chair position) and get up without any support. Repeat it at least 3-5 times. If you find this exercise straining, you can use a chair for a few days. After a while, shift to the actual method. Besides burning fat, this workout helps in boosting your stamina (in case you are an athlete), and clears bowel movements as well. Also, it tones your buttocks, abs and legs.

5. Dancing

Dancing will not only help you burn calories, but will cheer you up as well. This mood boosting exercise increases your heart rate and helps you to build lean muscle mass. A 10-minute intense dancing session can help you to burn around 65 calories. Well, you do not have to learn any specific dance to lose weight. Just play some peppy number and get started!

10 Amazing Benefits Of Multani Mitti

Fuller's earth better known as multani mitti, is one of the most popular beauty products in India. It helps to reduce acne, cleanses your skin deeply, does not have any side effects, and is affordable too! But, did you know that along with being used as a face pack, multani mitti can be used for other purposes also? Here, explore the multiple benefits of multani mitti for your skin, hair, and home.

1. Care for all skin types

Unlike most face packs, multani mitti can be used on any skin type. If you have oily skin then simply mix multani mitti with rose water and apply it on your face. Those who have dry skin should add a paste of almond and milk to multani mitti and apply it regularly for nourishing their skin.

2. Reduces pimples

The best way to soothe red angry pimples on your face is to use multani mitti. Mix it with tomato juice, turmeric and sandalwood (chandan) and apply it on your face for ten minutes to reduce the inflammation. To get rid of pimple marks, add neem paste, clove paste, camphor (kapur), and rose water to multani mitti and use it every week.

3. As a body wash

Want an affordable and natural body wash, which will leave your skin soft and supple? Then mix a cup of oatmeal and neem powder along with a spoonful of turmeric, one fourth cup of chandan, black chickpeas (chana) powder, some milk and multani mitti. Use this daily as your body wash and you will be delighted to see the healthy glow on your skin.

4. Substitute for shampoo

Replacing your shampoo with multani mitti is one of the best gifts you can give your hair. It acts as a mild cleansing agent that will not only get rid of the excessive oil from your scalp, but will also condition it deeply. Multani mitti removes all the dirt from your hair without washing away the natural moisturisers.

5. Get rid of split ends

A multani mitti hair pack is all you need if you want to get rid of your split ends! Oil your hair overnight and in the morning wrap a towel dipped in hot water around it. After an hour, wash your hair with a paste of multani mitti and curd. Next day, shampoo your hair and apply your conditioner. Use this pack every week and your split ends will definitely disappear.

6. Improves blood circulation

Multani mitti paste is very soothing and can improve the blood circulation in your body. All you have to do is simply apply the mixture on your tired limbs and you will start feeling better in no time.

7. Hot and cold compresses

If you are suffering from muscle cramps, burns, insect bites or even menstrual pain, you can use multani mitti as either a hot or a cold compress. Just mix it with either warm or cold water and apply the paste on the affected area. If you are badly sunburnt and want to soothe your skin, you can apply the paste on your entire body. However, avoid the chest area as this paste is very cold and may give you a cold.

8. Stain remover

Multani mitti is used to absorb stubborn stains like grease, oil and even blood on your clothes. Just wet the stained area and rub multani mitti on it till the stain vanishes.

9. Multani mitti is truly a great skin care ingredient as it helps you tone the skin too. Add one beaten egg and one spoon of curd to one spoon of multani mitti. Mix it well and apply it on the face for 20 minutes to achieve a toned skin.

10. You can reduce scar marks by applying the paste of one spoon of carrot pulp mixed with some multani mitti and 2 spoons of olive oil.

Top 10 Face Cleansers for Oily skin

Oily skin is more prone to pimples, acne and other skin problems due to the enlarged pores and excessive oil production from the sebaceous glands. But if you take proper care of oily skin, you can get rid of these skin problems. And one of the most important steps in Oily skin care routine is cleansing.

The market is flooded with many cleansers that claim to be the best for oily skin. Choosing right one can be a bit hassle. Don’t worry though; here I am listing top 10 cleansers for oily skin that actually worked for me.

1. Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive Skin

Cetaphil is quite popular as the best among the best cleansers for oily skin in the market.

2. Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Face Wash

When talking of face cleansers for oily skin, this is another product that we simply cannot miss.

3. Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash

This is a popular choice among the natural cleansers for oily skin.

4. YSL Forever Youth Liberator Cleansing Foam

This cream morphs into a foam on contact with water. Testers loved its delicate floral aroma almost as much as their “radiant glow.”

5. Garnier Skin Naturals Fresh Deep Clean Face Wash Mint Extract

Pros:
  • Makes the skin clean and oil free.
  • Gives a cooling sensation due to the presence of menthol.
  • Prevents formation of acne.
  • Helps in soothing existing acne.
  • Soap free.
  • Lathers well.
  • The smell is refreshing.

6. Clean and Clear Face Wash

This is one product that you just have to try in order to see how great it is. It is good for all skin types, however, I do not recommend it for your face if it is very dry. If you want a cleanser that easily removes makeup, then say hello to this one.

7. Olay Face Wash

Do you have sensitive skin? If so, then you are not alone and the makers of this product know that there is sensitive skin located throughout the world. I don’t know about you, but I must say that I am very glad to find this face wash sitting in my bathroom cabinet each day. When you look at the price, you may think that it is too cheap, but it is still high quality, believe it or not. It is oil free, dye free and fragrance free.

This product claims that it will melt that makeup away without stripping the skin with all of those harsh detergents. Does it live up to its expectations? It sure does! When I take a look in the mirror each night after using this cleanser, I do not see a red face. When I used those other face washes, I would always have red, irritated face.

9. Clinique Face Wash

It even got the sunscreen off of my face. This is a lightweight, silky cleansing lotion. It is great, but it does not wash completely off of my face unless I use a washcloth, but that is easy to deal with. If you have dry skin or rosacea, then this would be a great choice for you.

Pros:
  • Cleanses the skin effectively.

Fat Loss Tips For Breakfast


5 top fat loss breakfast ideas to make sure you slim down for summer.

No 1 choice – Meat and nuts:


When people ask me what my number 1 breakfast is, this is it, meat and nuts. The meat allows for a slow rise in your blood sugar levels and the nuts provide your bod with a good dose of healthy fats which helps stabilise your blood sugar levels over an extended period of time. Be sure to mix up your breakfasts as too much of the one food can lead to food sensitivies. Remember our goal is to minimise the total sugar content!

Try this three day rotation:


Day 1

1-2 100% Australian Beef Patties
6-12 almonds

Day 2

A steak (yes this will be the hardest to get use to)
4-8 Macadamia nuts (a few less than the other nuts as they are the most calorie dense)

Day 3

2-3 Organic Pork Sausages
6-12 cashews

(Keep in mind all of these meals should be eaten with some veggies or a salad.)

No 2 Choice + a ‘treat’

Salmon Omelette/ Scrambled Eggs:
The egg omelette would be my second choice behind the meat and nuts and is super easy to put together. Try and mix some salmon through it for the reasons ‘healthy fats’ reason I mentioned above. Below is one of the recipes I use in my ‘6 weeks to sexy’ food plan

Ingredients:

2 Eggs
3 Chopped mushrooms
100g of Salmon
3 Asparagus, halved
1/4 Red onion
1 Large tomato, cut into chunks
1 Handful spinach
Coconut oil

Method:

• Heat coconut oil in a medium sized none stick pan, then turn pan down to a medium heat.
• Beat the eggs, add salt/ pepper if desired
• Cook off the mushrooms, red onion, asparagus, salmon & tomato in the pan until almost cooked.
• Pour over the egg mixture
• When bottom of the omelet is set, place the pan under the grill (make sure its not a plastic handle, & watch your hand if metal HOT) this will cook the top of the omelet without burning the bottom.
• Just before the omelet is ready, add on the spinach & let it wilt. Then serve.

And for a little ‘treat’

Lets be honest, you’re hardly having McDonalds but because I’m not a huge advocate of too much diary and bread/ yeast I’ll put this in the ‘treat’ section. If you’re looking for some guidance this good looking rooster can cook a mean scrambled eggs.

Aussie Favourite – Bacon and eggs:

The all time favourite isn’t it? If you don’t know how to cook bacon and eggs you’re not Australian.

Quick meal – On the run smoothie.

For those of you who NEVER have breakfast it might be easier to start with some kind of smoothie and build up to eating whole foods.

Best Makeup Tips for Your Face Shape

Makeup can do wonders to your face. No doubt, makeup enhances your beauty and can make people around go ‘wow’ in just one glimpse. But, this works only when it is applied correctly. Makeup should be done according to your face cut so that it can highlight your best features. Here is how you should apply makeup according to your face shape.

1. Oval Face
                                                 

Oval faces are perfectly proportioned. If you have high cheekbones and narrow chin then you have an ideal face shape to try almost every type of makeup. However, it is best to draw emphasis either on your lips or eyes, but never on both.

2. Round Face
                                                  

Feminine, naturally soft, full cheeks and round chin is what round face is all about. Although, this face shape is considered to be very lovely, but one has to give angles to make every facial feature stand out. You can play with softer tones to enhance the features.

3. Heart-shaped Face
                                             

If your face is broad at the forehead and cheeks, and if you have a pointed, smaller chin then you have a heart-shaped face. The makeup has to be applied in such a way that it balances the forehead and the chin.

4. Square Face
                                    

Those with square face have a sharp jawline. Their face has an equal width from sides of the forehead and cheeks to their jaw.
