What to wear
what to wear? Are you at a loss when it comes to dressing for holiday get-togethers? Do not despair; many people share your concern. However
there are a few guidelines you can keep in mind when preparing to attend a holiday party.

Know where you are going
This is a big one. Simply having an idea where you are going and how others will be dressed will save a lot of time and a major headache. If you are going to an office Christmas party
business casual will probably be the best choice. However
if you are just going to your sister's house
you may be able to tone it down. If you are unsure
ask someone what the dress code will be. Keep in mind that "casual" means different things to different people. When you are told "casual" in a business setting
you should dress business casual
no jeans. Likewise
formal
may mean black tie or simply a jacket and tie; be sure to clarify if you are unsure.

Stay away from clothes that are too sexy
Especially in a business setting
you do not want to show up in revealing clothes. It is not professional and will probably reflect poorly on you. This should also be the practice if you are attending your spouse's office party. If you are going out with your spouse for a night on the town
sexy clothes are more appropriate. There is a thin line between attractive and sleazy; be sure not to cross that line and embarrass yourself.

Keep it simple
The simpler you can keep your attire
the better. Nine times out of ten
you will be better off in a simple black dress than trying to coordinate slacks
a blouse
and three other layers of clothes. Make it easy on yourself when possible.

Too many sparkles
Many women will use the holiday season to wear a lot of sparkles and shiny clothes. This is fine in moderation; however
if you look like you have been wrapped in tinsel
you should probably go with something else.

Jewelry
Nothing can be as flattering as the right accessories. However
when used the wrong way
they can destroy a good thing. When you are choosing your jewelry
stay with subtle beauty -- nothing huge or gaudy. While some people can pull off Santa Claus earrings
most of us can not. Especially the more formal a party
the more conservative the jewelry should be.

Makeup
When it comes to your face
you should also keep it delicate. Certain occasions will dictate red lipstick and more drastic makeup; however
you should be careful not to over-do it. Dark blush or rouge almost never looks good.

The companies selling Lysine supplements have done a great job in getting people to buy a substance that has little value in managing a chronic herpes infection. Lysine has never been shown conclusively in clinical studies to be an effective long term treatment for herpes and in the short term it has never been shown to be more effective than a garlic supplement. Long term use of lysine supplements suppress the arginine levels in your body to a point where it begins to impair your immune system because your immune system does actually need a certain amount of arginine to function properly.

Like all things in your body
balance is the key. Your immune system depends on a good balance between lysine and arginine and the best way to achieve this is to get your lysine through your diet the way your body was designed to instead of through a pill. Eat the foods high in lysine
avoid the foods high in arginine. Simple.

You cannot manage herpes just by popping a pill whether it comes from a drug company or a "natural health" company. This isn't "the valley of the dolls" you actually can get through life without being dependent on pills.

Real management of herpes means strenthening your immune system so that it can keep the virus in check which is what your body is designed to do. You can accomplish this through taking real herbal medicine from an herbalist or by making it yourself.

Real management of herpes also means making the effort to eat an appropriate diet
stress management
and working on your emotional and mental relationship with the disease.

It does take more work to take care of your body naturally than it does to pop a pill. I for one think your body's worth it. I think your life's worth it. Some would disagree
but at least I've made the point.

Here comes the sun,
the Beatles chorused. And as children most of us heeded the call enjoying long lazy days in the sun
laughing and cherishing time with friends. As we grew older
however
we were told the sun’s rays were destructive; the ozone layer was near depletion. Soon many asked: “Why leave the house in the first place?”

Is it any wonder researchers are finding us vitamin D deficient (Ref. Harvard Health Letter 2006)? To understand why this is significant it is first important to inquire: What exactly does Vitamin D do? Yes
Vitamin D is necessary for strong bones and teeth
but what most don’t know is it is key in reducing the risk of many types of cancer including breast
colon
prostate and ovarian (Ref. The American Journal Of Public Health).

Studies now conclude that 15 minutes in diffused sunlight can set off the metabolic process in skin which creates vitamin D. Yet before tanning yourself beyond recognition: use your head. This is not permission to stay in the sun for long periods as its aging qualities are still applicable. Limit yourself to 15 minutes and choose parts of the day when you are not in direct sunlight. You know
even on a cloudy day you are absorbing the suns rays and it can also penetrate through clothing. Therefore
if you do choose to increase your exposure; use common sense.

If the sun or outdoor activities are not for you
there are other options to stock up on vitamin D as well. Salmon is rich with vitamin D
for example
as is milk. Or you could opt for cod-fish based supplements with vitamin D added. These additions to your diet are well worth your time and research. As always
do your homework and consult with your healthcare provider to choose a vitamin D option for you. Perhaps a healthy dose of fun in the sun will be just what the doctor ordered.

Miscarriages could happen due to a plethora of reasons. Some of the most common causes are -

- Multiple pregnancies
- Increasing age. With increasing age the percentage of miscarriages also increase. As per statistics

between 35-40 it is 14.7% and over 40 it is 23.1%.
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Affected by a soft tissue disease known as Scleroderma
- Fever over 100 degree F
- Smoking increases the risk by nearly 30-50%
- Earlier use of contraceptive pills could also be a reason.
- Women who conceive with IVF treatment
as in case of hormonal imbalance
- Abnormalities of the uterus

For most women and some men primping and preening their hair is a daily Olympic event that may or may not win them any medals for the way they look. In fact from bed head to hat head
most of us tress obsessed are prone to bad hair... probably because most of us suffer from bad hair hygiene.

Want healthier
shinier
sexier hair? Don't despair
instead
do what you're told, and not what you do
:

Shower Power:

1. Go Au Natural: Most store bought shampoos contain astringent cleaners
which can be damaging to hair
note professionals. However
using products made from natural ingredients are less likely to rob your locks of essential oils and nutrients.

2. Get Familiar With Product Protocol: Make your product work for you. According to experts
the best benefits are achieved by emulsifying shampoo or conditioner in your hands
prior to applying. Massage into roots
crown
then lastly
down sides of shaft (hair shaft
that is).

3.Less Is More: While washing hair daily may make you feel like it's squeaky clean
but in reality
daily cleaning can be damaging and drying. Instead wash hair every other day or two to three times per week. On "off days"
rinse with water and apply conditioner as needed
mainly at the ends.

4. Go Deep: Heat and color treated tresses need to be deep conditioned at least once a week. If hair is extremely damaged
experts recommend a concentrated hair mask in place of daily conditioner (for use from midshaft down).

Styling Suggestions:

1. Avoid Burnout: Many modern dryers are efficient at speeding up the drying process
but experts note that they were designed to be held high above the hair (preferable by a stylist) and to be circulated around a lot
so as to avoid overheating and damage. To avoid dryer burnout
experts recommend removing the nozzle and point your dryer downward. And
they suggest treating damp hair with a heat-protectant spray prior to drying.

2. Go With The Flow (Of Your Hair): Use fingers when styling your hair until it is about 80 percent dry
then pull out the brush. And
don't try to fight its natural tendencies.

3. Let It Breath: While many de-frizz or anti-frizz silicone based products help keep strands smooth and sexy
experts suggest applying them AFTER heat styling (for best results). Otherwise
they note they can have a "shrink wrap" effect
depleting your mane of moisture.

4. Brush Up On The Type Of Brush Your Using: According to experts
the best brushes are those with natural (boar) bristles
because they disperse your scalp's natural oils and keep them well greased.

Feeding Your Follicles:

1. Nourish Your Roots With An Adequate Diet: The best follicle fuel is found in omega-3 fatty acids
according to the experts. So
dive into some cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna and don't forget the protein (found in nuts and cheese).

Salon Suggestions:

1. Time Your Touch-Ups: Frequent color touch-ups according to the experts
can be beneficial in not only covering up the damage time has done
but also in preventing chemical damage
especially since keeping up with color means only roots will need a quick fix and stylists won't have to leave color on that long.

2. Protect Yourself (from color-fade): Professionals suggest ensuring color lasts by refraining from shampooing for 72 hours
using only color safe products. However
if you need a shower to style your hair only wet your hair and apply conditioner.

Salon Secrets:

A quick fix for frayed ends is simply applying a leave in treatment then giving them a blast of "fresh" air with a dryer.

Genital herpes in some people may never show symptoms
but for others
the symptoms become so severe that complications develop
especially if sores or herpes blisters appear in other areas of the body.

Cold sores on the lips
called “herpes labialis”
are normally mild and may be considered a mere nuisance. But if these become prolonged
frequent
or severe
the use of antiviral treatments is recommended.

Blisters on the hands and fingers can also occur and it is called “herpetic whitlow”. Since the hands can practically reach all parts of the body
it has the greatest capacity to spread the virus. To prevent such a disaster
the hands must be covered with plastic or rubber gloves.

There can be blisters on the anus
too. The infection is called “herpes proctitis”. This infection is usually more painful and more distressing than genital herpes.

The eyes
especially that of the newborn
is also susceptible to the herpes virus. The infection is called “herpes keratitis” or “ocular herpes”. When this happens
or even when you only feel a painful irritation in your eyes
consult the doctor immediately. If ignored
herpes keratitis could lead to blindness.

Women who experience genital herpes outbreaks may also have vaginal yeast infections
called “vulvovaginal dandidiasis”. There will be swelling
itching
and pain when the woman urinates or engages in a sexual activity. This is due to the presence of too many yeast organisms in the vagina. If you have vaginal yeast infections
it doesn’t mean that you also have genital herpes. The excess growth of yeast occurs for many reasons
such as when the woman is taking antibiotics or birth control pills
or when she is pregnant
or when she is wearing tight body-hugging clothes. Fortunately
with good hygiene
this type of infection disappears on its own.

Sometimes
the genital herpes virus can infect the cerebrospinal fluid and the tissues that surround the brain. This will result to meningitis and encephalitis. Meningitis is life-threatening especially when these occur: changes in vision
photophobia
drowsiness
bulging on the baby’s head
and seizures. Encephalitis happens when the brain becomes swollen. It is also a life-threatening complication and have similar symptoms to that of meningitis. It can also lead to coma.

Other internal organs
such as the joints
lungs
and liver
may suffer complications when a person has genital herpes. These complications occur in people with ineffective immune systems
such as those with HIV
diabetes or cancer and those who are undergoing chemotherapy.

To avoid complications
you must again recall that HSV survives in mucus and may affect any part of the body where mucus is found.
