10 Things you should stop doing

During the course of the day, you have many things to do and accomplish. You have your habits and routines, as well as other tasks and responsibilities. These are the things that you normally see on your to-do lists. However, there are things that you do on a daily basis that you actually need to stop doing. These things make use of your time and energy with no positive results in the end.


1. Wasting your time online

If you want to get anything done in real life, then you need to stop wasting your time online. You only need so much time to check, answer, and send emails. You need to watch the amount of time you spend on facebook because you can waste a whole day on it. You have to limit the time you spend surfing websites, blogs, and forums.

3 Ways to recover from stress

No matter what stresses you out, your body's response is to release the hormone cortisol. If you have a mood disorder such as anxiety or depression then you can bet that your body is also crankingup this powerful hormone.  Poor lifestyle choices like not getting enough sleep can also contribute to stress.  The question is, how do you know when the stress you're experiencing is harming you?

When we experience stress, it triggers a chemical reaction called "fight or flight" response which leads to the production of cortisol and adrenalin. This is designed to help us from perceived threats. If you always feel tense or anxious, then your body will constantly be producing cortisol and adrenalin and this can eventually lead to "adrenal fatigue".  The result can be lack of stamina, depression, increased food cravings and weakened immunity.

5 Ways to train your brain to be more happy

 If you find you're always getting distracted, meditation might offer a fix.  It can boost concentration and your ability to perform tasks, suggests a study published in Psychological Science.  Researchers measured how well people attending a meditation retreat could distinguish between lines of different lengths flashed on a screen and found that the more often and longer the subjects meditated, the better they did on the test.

When you want to Bitch-Slap your guys mom

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com



No matter how fabulous you are, there's a decent chance that your man's mom might be a total beast to you. According to Terri Apter, PhD, author of What Do You Want From Me? Learning to Get Along With In- Laws, 60 percent of women report having a negative relationship with their guy's mother (compared to just 15 percent of men who say they have tension with their significant other's mom). "She's worried that you're going to usurp her role, and she has to adapt to no longer being the most influential female figure in her son's life," Apter explains. And sometimes she "adapts" by being critical, controlling, nosy, invasive...you name it. Save yourself the fury and headaches and be strategic right from the start.

Don't Be a Pussy
Some women make the mistake of bending over backward to win a difficult mother's approval. "But this puts you in a subservient position that she can then take advantage of," Apter says. "It will be a challenge for you to stand up for yourself in the future." Rather, you have to walk the line between acting like an alpha female while also being respectful to her.

Frenemies?? Here are some signs to look for

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Imagine waiting to see your friend after a terrible day or a really bad first date and really looking forward to curling up with a good film and having a laugh together. Perfect, right? Well, what if the friend is actually a frenemy who is more interested in making your life worse as opposed to making you happy? Don’t gasp, it’s actually pretty normal for most of us to have atleast one frenemy.  Here’s my list of the top ten ways to spot your frenemy!

1. Facebook Pictures

Photo Credit: rikrak creations
The only pictures she puts up on Facebook are of you with your eyes closed or in an embarrassing pose. The pictures of you looking gorgeous never seem to find their way into any of her albums ever. Sure sounds suspicious!

2. Her Reactions

Photo Credit: Mademoiselle → M
When you gain a few pounds and other friends are genuinely trying to help you, a frenemy will  tell you how perfect you are with a satisfied grin on her face or make you feel really guilty and hopeless.

3. Lonely

Photo Credit: Σταύρος
She doesn’t seem to have many friends and instead of her best friend has her lawyer on speed dial. Some people are just lonely out of depression or because they choose to be, but most have behaved in such a way that their friends don’t want to know them anymore. Be wary!

4. Her Style

Photo Credit: Triz Designs
Her new earrings look surprisingly like the ones you bought last week and her new haircut is exactly like yours. She may even insist that she carries it off better. Do you find yourself hiding new purchases or old favorites from her? Frenemy alert!

5. Date Night

Photo Credit: creativespiritoriginals
She invites that guy you’ve been crushing on for ages and tells you she will set you up with him. You spend all day picking an outfit and helping her arrange food… and then she “forgets” to invite you.

6. Twitter

Photo Credit: stevegarfield
You dread reading her twitter feed… who knew she could spill so many of your secrets in only 140 characters?! Hardly a sign of a best friend!

7. Me, Me, Me!

Photo Credit: ♥♡Queen Cleopatra♥♡
She’ll only compliment you by comparing you to her. “Oh, you are so like me…”, “Oh this dress is gorgeous. I bought the exact same one last week” Actually most things are about her, and she makes sure that you know she is the best!

8. New Man

Photo Credit: emmakisstina
When you introduce your new boyfriend that you are madly in love and very happy with, she takes you to the corner to tell you that of course he’s nice and good enough for YOU, but nowhere near her standards and she would never date a loser like him.

9. Bitchy Comments

Photo Credit: Joao Rechena
You spend hours at hers getting ready for that big night out, doing your hair and make up and generally making yourself look hot. And then she tells you that she’s jealous you can pull off the ‘Just got out of bed’ look so easily.

10. Blog

Photo Credit: churl
Her blog contains details of a mysterious ‘friend’ who she constantly moans about and demeans and that friend seems to have the exact same problems and experiences as you.
Frenemies seem really obvious to the outsider but as the victim, it can be hard to spot them and take action. Just remember that frenemies aren’t worth the time, so shed them off and make some good friends instead. You’ll feel so much better! Have you got a tip for spotting a frenemy, or a frenemy story? Please share them with me!

10 things to do everyday

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

We’re all rushed, all day, every day. By the end of the day, most of us look back and wonder why we didn’t get everything done. Chances are, we just have too much to do! But no matter how busy we are, there are a few things we must make time for each day… here’s my list of the ten things you really should do, every single day…

1. Use SPF

Photo Credit: Georgios Karamanis
Young-looking, healthy skin is skin that’s been protected from the sun and other environmental damage. Every morning, make sure to slather on a good moisturizer with SPF built-in. If you spend a lot of time outside, you ought to consider a sunscreen for the ultimate protection too.

2. Brush and floss your teeth

Photo Credit: ♥GreenTea♥
It may seem silly to mention this, but I actually do know a few people who don’t brush and floss every day! Once your milk teeth are gone, your adult teeth are the last teeth you’ll have, so you need to take care of them! And besides, who wants to kiss someone, or even sit close to someone, who hasn’t brushed their teeth all day…not to mention the bad breath? Ick!

3. Drink water

Photo Credit: j.towbin ©
We all know we’re supposed to drink up to 64 ounces of water every day, so why don’t we do it? Keeping hydrated will make us healthier and prettier, so make sure to drink as much water as you can stand (up to 64 ounces) every single day. If it can make you look and feel better, why not?

4. Eat fruits/veggies

Photo Credit: Netfalls
For years, we’ve also known we ought to be eating five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, but again, most of us are lucky if we get one or two. There are a lot of excuses, but none of them are good ones, so make sure to make your mother proud and eat five servings of fruits and veggies every day! Don’t forget to put them on your next grocery list.

5. Be thankful

Photo Credit: windchains
Studies have shown that people who are grateful, and who actually verbalize their appreciation with a simple “thank you” live longer, happier, more fulfilling lives. Besides that, it’s polite and kind to thank people when they have done you a kindness. On a much grander scale, think of all in your life you have to be thankful for…life is about the simple pleasures afterall!

6. Take 5

Photo Credit: m o d e
Five minutes. That’s really all you need. Take five simple minutes each day just for yourself. Go hide somewhere quiet, shut off your cell phone, and relax for just five minutes. Reflect. Breathe. Unwind a little. Close your eyes if you can. Then, when you’ve had a few moments of calm, you can get back to the grind with renewed energy, a better attitude and no stress.

7. Exercise

Photo Credit: flor2007xd
I know it’s difficult to be motivated enough to exercise every day, but it doesn’t have to be a big deal. There are a lot of ways to squeeze in exercise every day without going to the gym or even doing a work-out DVD when you get home. Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Park as far away as you can instead of trying to find a closer parking spot. You’ll be surprised how many calories you can burn by doing simple things like this, and how easy it can be to squeeze a little exercise into every day! You’ll be thrilled with the extra energy…

8. Read to your children

Photo Credit: flor2007xd
If you have children, pick a good children’s book and make time to read to them before bed each night. Spend 20 minutes reading, and let them read to you a little if they can. Don’t just rush through it, either. Make it an experience, a tradition your kids look forward to. Snuggle in, look at the pictures, savor the story.

9. Plan ahead a little

Photo Credit: Mike Rohde
Take a few minutes at the end of each day to plan ahead for the next day. Don’t stress, just plan a little. What will you cook for dinner? What will you wear? Do you have any errands to run? Make sure you have everything you need so you can sleep with an easy mind and possibly end up with free time the next day .

10. Call your mom/sister/BFF

Photo Credit: zeldalove
It only takes a few minutes to make a phone call and check in with the one person you’re closest to (besides your sweetie!). Take those few minutes every day just to say hi and let them know you’re thinking of them. If you both have time, you can chat for a bit, but it’s really important to touch base, even if you can’t talk for long. It’ll help you unwind and generally make your life happier.
There is only so much time in a day, and I know sometimes it seems like we just need another hour, maybe two… but these are things we should always make time for, every day! What do you make it a point to make time for each day? Why? Please let me know

10 Lessons from the classroom of Life

This beautiful article is a guest post by Dani of Positively Present. For more about the author of this post, visit www.positivelypresent.com or follow Dani on Twitter @positivepresent.
Each person’s commitment to constant improvement in life is different. What you want (and need) to improve is unique, tailored to you and only you. For me, self-improvement is the focus of my life right now. I went through some really hard times and I’m striving to rise above them by finding new and exhilarating ways to learn from and improve my life. Self-improvement is a task that requires constant attention and, in my opinion, will never truly be complete. There is always something new to learn and grow from. I believe most kinds of improvement are this way. Whether you are seeking to improve your job, your family life, your social interactions, or yourself, you will need to do it constantly.

The thought of improving on something constantly may sound daunting, I know. Trust me. Sometimes I think about this self-improvement path I’ve started down and I say to myself, “Oh, wow, this is going to take forever.” But I’m beginning to realize that’s okay. Improvement can be – and perhaps should be – constant. Though I’m just a beginning to look around, seeking ways to better my life, I’ll share a few things I’ve learned so far with you. Here are ten tips to work on constantly improving any aspect of your life:

1.Never limit your learning.

Image by paradiso76

You can learn from everything, everywhere, if you just open your eyes and ears. You want to improve your work ethic? You might find inspiration on the subway. You want to be a happier person? Your dog might show you how. You never know where you are going to learn new things to help with your improvement so don’t limit yourself to courses or books or lectures.

2.Read anything you can.

Image by paradiso76

This goes along with the first point I’ve made, but it’s so important that I’ve given it its own number. One of the best methods I’ve found in my quest for constant improvement is to read. Read the paper. Read signs. Read books. Read the expressions on others’ faces. Read everything. You’ll be surprised how much you can improve your life from reading alone.

3.Put in a lot of effort.

Image by tassiesim
I recently read an article in The New Yorker by Malcolm Gladwell (author of The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers) addressing the secret formula for underdogs who win. You want to know the secret? Substitute effort for ability. You might not be blessed with a specific ability, but you do have the ability to put in a ton of effort.

4.Work on improvement daily.

Image by Pink Sherbet Photography

It’s important to work on your improvement, whatever that may be, all the time. If you put it on a shelf and say, “I’ll get to that later,” you might never come back. Work on it all the time. Find little ways to work on it constantly. One great way might be to start a blog that shares what you’re working on improving in your life.

5.Accept that there is no end.

Image by paradiso76

Constant improvement is just that – constant. There isn’t an end. You have to accept this or you will drive yourself crazy wondering when you will get “there.” There is no there. When you are committing yourself to constant improvement, you are growing and changing and learning all the time. Accept this and you will be a lot less anxious, searching for some “The End” that just doesn’t exist in the world of constantly working to better yourself.

6.Support yourself.

Image by paradiso76

You might be lucky enough to have a great support system, a group of people who want you to develop and grow and improve, but you might not. Either way, it’s important to be your biggest fan. You may be unpleasantly surprised that people will be jealous of your desire to improve yourself. You may encounter criticism and trivialization from those around you. Ignore all that and believe in yourself. Always.

7.Don’t give up – no matter what.

Image by laughingmonk

You may want to throw in the towel because there’s no definite end in sight. But don’t. Constant improvement will lead you, always, down a better and more interesting path than simply coasting through life. Giving up is the equivalent to going to the back of the classroom and slumping in your seat until someone calls on you. Do you want that kind of life? I didn’t think so…

8.Practice, practice, practice.

Image by Desirée Delgado

Once you’ve identified some ways to work on improving an aspect of your life, keep doing them. Let’s say you want to have a better relationship with your wife and you find that couples therapy really helps out. Keep going to sessions. Or, let’s think about how you want to be a healthier person and you find that getting up early to exercise before the family wakes really works for you. Keep getting up early. Practice your improvements over and over and over again and don’t be surprised when they become habits.

9.Give back to those who teach you.

Image by Desirée Delgado

When you learn from others, it’s important to give something back. This doesn’t have to be literal (you don’t need to send flowers to the woman at the pharmacy who accidentally inspired you). Think of ways you can give back by helping others with their own commitments to improvement. Don’t by chocolates for the husband who wants to lose weight. Help your boss look good because you know she is really working hard to get promoted. Remember, what goes around, comes around…

10.Remind yourself of your progress.

Image by Pink Sherbet Photography

If you’re working on improving an aspect (or all aspects) of your life on a daily basis, you deserve a lot of credit. It’s not easy for people to seek to better their lives. Most people coast along, sitting in the back of the classroom, bored and waiting for something better. By being proactive, by seeking to make your life a better place, you are making not only yourself but the world a better place. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back every so often.
Committing to constant improvement is not easy, but it truly is the best way to make your life the one you want to be living. As I’m sure you’ve heard countless times before: no one is going to do it for you. You have the power to seize control of your life and to make it better. This is your life and it is up to you to commit yourself to constant improvement. So don’t sit in the back of the classroom, wishing longingly for graduation. Instead, embrace life. Pick up your things and move to the front of the room. Raise your hand. Ask questions. Learn. Be active and interested and work hard and you will improve your life.

13 Ways to Eliminate Stress at Work...

I am probably not the first one to admit this and I’m definitely not going to be the last but sometimes I find myself so stressed out with work! And it doesn’t matter what field you are in. For example, I work from home (I’m a freelance writer, mother and wife) and I still find that work can be stressful at times. There are deadlines that need to be met, just like with any job. And the stress of it all can get to the best of us. Are you looking to eliminate stress at work? Below, I have 13 ways to do just that…

7 Things You Should keep for Emergencies...

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist or nervous Nancy to consider what you and your family would need if there was an emergency. A bad storm, an earthquake, a power outage — these are all things that can happen without warning, and can keep us isolated for hours, days, or even weeks. It’s wise, then to be prepared in case of an emergency, and to make sure your family has a plan of action in case something happens. Choose a safe, well-stocked place to meet, and make sure you all know where it is and how you’ll all get there. Also, make sure it’s stocked with all of the things you’ll need… to help, I’ve made a list of the seven things you need to have on hand in case of an emergency…

10 Tips for a Happily Blended Family

Half of all marriages in the Canada end in divorce, and within a few years, most divorced people with children have married again. This means that chances are, at one time or another, we’ll be part of a blended family. It’s not easy to combine families, especially if the adults involved don’t get along well, but blended families can be happy. Mine is! Here are my ten tips for a happy blended family…
