Mini Personal Pizza For The Whole Family

Many seniors don’t want to move. They would rather stay at home, as opposed to living in a care home. Because of this, you must make sure that your loved one’s property is equipped for their needs. There are many helpful home upgrades and changes that you could make. An accessible shower and fall alarms are just two additions that would do a world of good, preventing an injury.
Look Into Meal Delivery
Good nutrition is essential for all people, especially older adults. However, many seniors don’t have enough energy or patience to prepare healthy meals for themselves every day. Thankfully, there is a simple solution. A meal delivery service would bring warm meals straight to your loved one’s door. Other services deliver a week’s worth of meals that only need to be microwaved.
Speak With An Expert
Different elderly people have different needs. Your loved one, for example, might suffer from a neurodegenerative disease, like Alzheimer’s. Rather than attempt to deal with this alone, you should contact experts, like a mental health treatment center. Although there isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s, there are treatment options that could help to manage the condition better.
Encourage An Active Lifestyle
An active lifestyle would benefit seniors much like anyone else. Unfortunately, many of us assume that elderly people need more rest. Although that is true in some cases, physical activity is also important. Because of this, you should encourage your loved one to exercise. Swimming, tennis, and hiking are just a few workouts that your loved one could try out for themselves today.

Have you ever had just one of those days when something you’ve been planning for months has all gone awry…but in the end it exactly what you needed? Yea that pretty much sums up most of my days, but it also sums up the new Disney Channel Original Movie that airs tonight, Bad Hair Day.
The movie starts out with Laura Marano (Monica) a high school tech-whiz whose prom day shifts into an anything but typical day & Leigh_Allyn Baker (Liz) who plays a suspended cop posing as a detective posing as a FBI agent.
Monica (Laura Marano) wakes up after weeks of planing for prom, with, of all things, a #BadHairDay! Things just seem to get worse and worse for her as the day progresses.
She begins to retrace her steps from the night before and realizes that all the hair products she used to create different hair styles for her online poll, have side effects when used together, causing her to have a terribly #BadHairDay. She’s in need of a ride to get around town to “fix” what has gone wrong, but doesn’t have a clue where to get one? When a stranger comes knocking on her door, Liz, is looking for a particular jewelry piece that Monica just happened to purchase for prom, they have to work together for each of them to get what they want.
But nothing goes as planned, there are many twists and turns that leave you laughing out loud. It’s a lighthearted comedy, true to Disney Channel, that the whole family can enjoy together. Leigh-Allyn mentions in her interview, It was really important for her and Disney Channel to be funny, yet pull at the audiences heart-strings and give a really good, unique and empowering message..you will see…mission accomplished!
I mentioned having something for everyone…#BadHairDay has car chases and action the boys will love, as well as the sappy, pull at your heart-strings stuff, & plenty of girl power the girls will enjoy..
Overall I really enjoyed the movie, I laughed…and may have cried a little..I hope you tune in tonight to catch-all the fun and adventure.
Be sure to tune into Disney Channel tonight, Friday, February 13th at 8/7c!
Tweet along with the hashtag #BadHairDay while watching!

How many times have you looked back on moments in your life with a sheer sense of dissatisfaction? It’s not uncommon, but if you go through life with so many regrets, after a while, these feelings can add up to a well of negative emotions. And while you may look in the mirror and think to yourself “today is the first day of the rest of my life”, we struggle to keep up this attitude. Turning our life around is one of the most difficult things we can ever do, which is why it’s important to do one thing at a time, rather than trying to change everything all at once. So, with that in mind, here are a few suggestions for you to start off on the path to permanent happiness.
Fixing The Negative Opinions Of Ourselves
We live in an age where, unfortunately, so much is placed on how we look. If we feel that we are below par in any way, this negativity festers in our minds, and we can naturally cultivate low opinions of ourselves. This is how an issue like dysmorphia rears its head. There are two options; you can either fix these issues from the inside out, or the outside in. And so, when we are working to turn our lives around, if we look good we will feel good. We all have a niggling issue on our person, such as crooked teeth, wrinkles, and so on. It can be a quick fix, but if there is something that is bugging you every day of your life when you look in the mirror, a quick fix may be the answer in the short term. Juvederm Voluma fillers can help if you’ve got annoying cracks in your face, and various types of braces or retainers can help if you are annoyed with your teeth. When you are faced with something you feel you cannot change, there are little aesthetic alterations that can be made, but it’s important not to go over the top with these. Unfortunately, if there is something that we feel sticks out like a sore thumb, it breeds negativity and it naturally stops us putting ourselves out there. On the other hand, working through the problems from the inside out can be just as effective. You can do this in many ways, and it can result in a lot of soul-searching, but if you are unable to undergo cognitive behavioral therapy, or speak to a professional so you can get these issues fixed, one of the simplest approaches is to work at altering the opinion of yourself by positive self-talk. This is a practice that some people can find strange, to begin with, because you are verbalizing positive sentiments about just self. But, there are numerous benefits to doing this every day. A lot of people think that it’s silly, but a lot of athletes do it, and it’s something that’s commonplace in certain circles, especially in performance-related arenas. And if you are trying to present a more positive image of yourself to the outside world, that age-old expression of faking it until you make it is something that you should try. By taking 10 minutes every morning to undertake some positive self-talk, you are retraining your brain to think more positively. Believe it or not, and this is a fact, your brain is physically unable to tell the difference between a real thought and an imagined one. When you have got into the habit of this, it’s one of those things in life that you can’t go without.
Creating Those Lifelong Habits
And as the habits begin to ingrain themselves, you will notice the difference when you don’t practice them. This is the most vital component to turning your life around, creating those habits that you can build upon every single day. But to begin with, these habits can feel very difficult. By creating these habits, and getting on the road to turning your life around, the outset is a challenge all in itself. So if you are struggling at the very beginning, remember that it takes, at the very least, 21 days to form a habit. Because our minds and bodies are borne of habit, when we are trying to integrate a new way of thinking, a new eating pattern, or exercising, you will naturally resist these changes. But, the importance of challenging yourself is what forces the human species to develop and grow. Because our mind’s needs challenging, this is how we create new neural pathways, but also, we evolved in a physical sense to run faster, jump higher, and generally work that much harder to escape threats. We are now, in the modern age, very comfortable, and so, we need to work towards those challenges that push us out of our comfort zone. This is the overriding sensation that you need to go for, especially when it comes to turning your life around. Now, not to say that you should put yourself under extreme duress every single day of your life, but by challenging yourself to do something new every single day, you are naturally and healthily stretching out your sphere of comfort, and therefore, your confidence increases alongside it. Everything that is new and difficult we try to avoid, but it’s these challenges that we have to go for. But before that, we need to form healthy and effective habits. This is something that can take some time, but this is where you need to trust your instincts.
Alternatives To “Bettering Yourself”
Bettering yourself is a dangerous term, because this implies that there is something wrong with you. This is far from the case, but finding simple approaches to building on who you are, in comparison to who you want to be, is something that we can all benefit from. Now, not to say that you have to constantly plow through self-help books to make you into some sort of superhuman, but the never-ending quest for answers can be exhausting. When you are working at turning your life around the best method is to think about the type of person that you want to be, and take it one step at a time in the right direction. If we overload ourselves with goals and pressures, we will undoubtedly crumble under this pressure. So, this is why it’s important to gradually step outside of your comfort zone, to make changes little by little, rather than undertaking and emotional spring clean from top to bottom. This is why so many people give up exercise routines, statistics show that the people who join the gym in January give up after 24 weeks, and this could be because of the whole “new year new me” attitude, and so, the excessive pressure they place upon themselves to get fit now, means they physically cannot cope with the strain. We should undertake the same attitude when we are changing ourselves in an emotional sense. We all know that we shouldn’t place too much pressure on ourselves, but when we think about turning our life around, this encapsulates everything. But it’s worth thinking about the tortoise and the hare, or playing the long game, whatever metaphor appeals to you. The changes we make in our lives for the better are the ones that we learn over time, or are things we don’t recognize as seismic changes, because they take so long. For the modern, impatient person that needs everything changed right here, right now, this is not the answer they want to hear, but it is far better for you to make peace with the fact that you are changing yourself properly one little bit at a time, rather than making those promises to yourself that you are going to be a completely different person in six months or a years’ time, because, in all honesty, this is unrealistic. You are who you are, and the fact is that if you want to change yourself completely, you will have to get a new brain! Instead, there are unique aspects of your personality that make you inherently you, and everybody needs to harness their own uniqueness, and this is the key to turning your life around.
Yes, there are some fantastic tools that we can all benefit from, especially when we have those bad habits like negative opinions of ourselves, which we can replace with more positive habits, turning our lives around is not about viewing it as the biggest, most difficult challenge of our lives, although if we can make these seismic changes, this is what gives us validation in our own abilities. But now, we are placing so much pressure on ourselves, that we need to turn our lives around in more subtle, and effective approaches. Remember, we are all works in progress, and this is a far healthier opinion to have, rather than making ourselves into a completely different person that we wouldn’t recognize. While it’s a cliché, to thine own self, be true is one of the best maxims that we can all take inspiration from. Turning your life around is possible, and it’s all about three things, how we view ourselves, the habits we undertake, but also making peace with ourselves to embark on this long journey in our own sweet time.

I have said it many times that I love natural products especially when it comes to beauty products. Natural products are so much better for your skin which is why I love them. While I find that natural products are sometimes a little more expensive, b•leve is an affordable option.
As you can see the b-leve product line includes hair care, bath and body, and skin care. I was sent a package that included 3 products from their line to try out for my use and review.
b•passionate body wash: b•passionate body wash gently cleanses and moisturizes the skin with natural Oleosome technology. This revolutionary encapsulated moisture bead technology provides rich, energizing lather with gentle moisturization and a delicate floral scent. • contains extract of safflower oil, glycerin & vitamin E – nourishes & conditions skin
• paraben-free • non-irritating & hypoallergenic
b•colorful shampoo: b•colorful shampoo for color treated hair is a rich moisturizing formulation that contains natural extracts of sunflower and white tea. Cationic chemistry, the leading technology in performance hair care, specifically targets damaged areas along the hair shaft and at the ends. This advanced precision formula does not require the use of high levels of silicones. • contains sunflower extract – for protection against color fading & UV damage • contains white tea extract – for gloss, strength & long lasting shine
• paraben-free • antioxidant & vitamin rich
b•tranquil body lotion: b•tranquil body lotion provides long-lasting moisturization with a soothing, spa-like scent. Oleofirm™, a groundbreaking moisturization technology, is derived from tiny microseeds that release moisture both during application and as the day goes on. • restores skin’s moisture & balance • natural extract of goji berry – provides a fortifying, antioxident moisturization • paraben-free
• non-irritating & hypoallergenic
Each product has a wonderful scent! My favorite is the b•passionate! The scents are all light and not overwhelming. The shampoo is thicker than your normal shampoo, and lathers up nice. My hair looks and feels healthy, it’s shiny and doesn’t turn dull during my day, & I haven’t noticed any fading while using this shampoo. I really liked how the body wash has little beads of moisturizer in it. I love how they burst open when I use the wash. Plus, the body wash doesn’t dry my skin, which some body washes I’ve used tend to do.
If your looking for great natural skin care & hair care, this is an affordable option for you.
