Many of you may envy Angelina Jolie for her perfectly sculpted cheekbones or Johnny Depp for his sharply defined jaw line. This is not to say that fuller faces are undesirable. Many people love the look of a fuller face that is healthy and has a natural glow to it. However, there is a difference between a healthy, plump face and one that is storing excess fat. When it is the latter, you need to buckle down and address the situation. If you are generally overweight and concerned about the weight on your face, you need to start working out.…

Newly divorced, Eleanor Bain thought she’d finally met the man of her dreams. She was in a new city, looking for a new job and starting a new life with her two daughters, when she fell in love, or so she thought.  It’s like a boomerang, when you suddenly realise that this is not so peachy But along with the positives of shared interests, there were plenty of negatives. Sometimes the pair ended up screaming at each other for hours on end. Looking back, Bain says she was in denial about the relationship. “It’s not that you don’t want to…

I don’t remember having trouble sleeping – until my late teens. There was no grand trauma, no “aha” moment to pinpoint when my sleep was disrupted. I just sort of drifted into insomnia. And there I have stayed, on and off, for almost 15 years. It has meant exhausted days and nights stretched out in front of me like the Grand Canyon. I have tried to remedy it over the years, using pills (soft herbal brands and the hard big pharma types), sprays (top picks: lavender and frankincense), a variety of “calming” sounds (including whale, panpipes and white noise) and,…

They came, they stripped, and they dyed themselves blue – and all in the name of art. The streets of Hull were transformed into an ocean of painted human flesh as 3,200 volunteers braved the North Sea chill to create an incredible spectacle. Called the Sea Of Hull, it was the biggest nude art installation Britain has ever seen and the brainchild of US photographer Spencer Tunick, who was impressed at how wholeheartedly his idea was embraced. ‘I can’t believe it,’ he said. ‘It was cold, it was chilly, people had to put lotion-like paint all over their bodies – every…

Feeling gloomy and need a lift? Forget that expensive bottle of wine – just munch on a cheap cabbage. It has long been known that people who eat healthier tend to be fitter, but a new study suggests that compounds in fruit and vegetables help us have a sunnier outlook on life. Researchers asked 12,500 Australians to keep food diaries for up to six years and answer questions on their state of mind Professor Andrew Oswald of Warwick University, one of the study team, said eating eight portions of fruit and veg a day could bring as much happiness as…

A couple of weeks ago Father’s Day was celebrated so loud in silence as done year after year. Fathers’ seem to have been taken for granted. Well, to him that little is given, little should be expected, right? Not quite, duty and responsibility is engraved in his DNA and that has no price tag. Who is a man in our social cultural settings? Who prepares the Ghanaian man to shoulder the duties and responsibilities of manhood? Ladies buckle your seat-belts, the issue is as relevant to women as it is to men. A man who is alive to his responsibilities…

An aloe vera plant can add a lovely touch of green to any office or home. But did you know that your favorite potted plant could be used for so much more than house hold décor? The powerful aloe vera plant is a part of the Aloaceae, or lily, family, which is known for its diverse perennials with short stems and thick, crowded leaves. Aloe vera has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Native to North Africa, Southern Europe, and the Canary Islands, today aloe vera is grown in tropical climates worldwide. From relieving heartburn to slowing the spread…

Since as long as we can remember, society has told us that men and women are supposed to be together. So can they really be just friends and nothing more? I will start by saying that I am a girl who has grown up with a LOT of guy friends. I was always the girl playing soccer and football at recess instead of chasing my crush around the swing set. I never understood why, when I got a little bit older, other girls were calling me mean names because I had so many “boyfriends.” I just knew these guys to…

Playing simple card games, such as snap, can help stroke patients with their recovery, say Canadian researchers. The scientists found it improved patients’ motor skills. Playing Jenga, bingo or a games consol like Wii worked equally well. They told the Lancet Neurology that the type of task used for motor rehabilitation might be less relevant, as long as it is intensive, repetitive and gets the hands and arms moving. The researchers designed their study to test whether virtual reality gaming, which is increasingly being employed as a rehab therapy for stroke patients, is any better than more traditional games for…
