5 Surprising Ways Women in Their 30s, 40s, and Beyond Can Appear More Beautiful

  • Posted on February 22, 2012 at 2:06 pm

More than being an external attribute, beauty basically lies deep beneath a woman’s face. It is subtle, explicit, suggestive, sexy and charismatic at the same time. Read ahead to find 5 beauty secrets for women in their late 30′s, early 40′s and beyond.

1. Keeping saying you are beautiful

Constantly keep saying this to yourself and reiterate it to the point that you start believing it yourself! As humans, we just don’t perceive but also get influenced by each other’s feelings. It is very likely if people sense your self demeaning nature, it will suggest them subconsciously to look at you that way.

2. Be careful with your foundation

The cosmetic most likely to go wrong is the foundation. Too dull, too pinkish, too peachy, too dark can emphasize acne, scars and blemishes instead of hiding them. Moreover the wrong color makes you look dull while enhancing wrinkles and furrows.

3. Correct posture

Stand up straight. Slouching shoulders are a giveaway of the fact that you are trying to hide something. However great your body maybe, slouching shoulders make it look extremely lumpy. Standing up straight makes you look thinner and earns you respect of everyone around you.

4. Avoid eye makeup near lower lashes

Avoid applying mascara on your lower lashes as it can smudge into the nearby skin thereby making the eyes look smaller. It also creates an illusion of undereye circles or bags which gives the eyes a tired and fatigued look. So load only the upper lashes with mascara and liner.

5. See to your body language

A major part of beauty comes with the way you carry yourself. Constant fidgeting makes a person look anxious and nervous. Stop wiggling and squirming for three weeks and then see what happens.

History has witnessed beauties which have been outrightly labeled as plain Janes and too simple to be beautiful. Yet, these ladies have ignored these futile remarks and stood apart emphasizing their own unique looks. It was them, who projected themselves as beautiful to be perceived beautiful!

The time period of pregnancy is generally nine months long. Pregnancy is an exciting and thrilling time in any woman’s life. The pregnancy brings various types of emotions which very often conflicts during the time period of pregnancy. Pregnancy is the situation when a new life grows in you, however, during this time your body hormones changes.

The main problems of women in sports medicine

  • Posted on February 22, 2012 at 11:37 am

Understanding of sports medicine is essential for women

Women in sports:

In today’s world, women play a major role when it comes to any sports played. They have shown the capability as well as endurance that is required in that particular sport. Today even in woman’s sports, the benchmarks set are high and this requires a high level of fitness and stamina to sustain. Unfortunately, playing sports is injury prone. In case of women’s sports, chronic sports injuries might be a cause of concern. Hence, it is of paramount importance that one has the requisite knowledge of sports medicine.

Dealing with some common injuries:

The reason behind majority of the injuries is ligaments and tendon related sprains. These injuries occur due to a repetitive motion of a particular body organ. For example in tennis, constant serving motion leads to a shoulder injury. The area affected needs to be treated with ice. There are many herbal based packs available that can speed up the recovery process.

Rest is important:

The importance of rest cannot be ignored. One needs to take enough rest so that the injury is completely healed. If proper rest is not taken, there is a chance that the condition will aggravate.

Keeping a positive body image:

Women are often conscious about the way they look. In today’s world, ‘being thin’ is considered beautiful. A woman’s thin image is always beautified in the media and social circles. This leads to various eating disorders among women. Women need to understand that ‘being fit’ is important and it is not to be confused with ‘being thin’.

Preventive Philosophy Works the Best:

As cliched as it may sound, women need to take care of their health so as to remain disease free and live a long and healthy life. For example, calcium is very essential to maintain bone density. Girls need to take calcium supplements so that they will not risk of having bone related problems like osteoporosis in their later lives.

Women’s life at risk because of acid attacks in Ethiopia

  • Posted on February 15, 2012 at 7:36 am

Kamilat Mehdi, a twenty one year old girl has been stalked by a person in Eithiopia. While she was on her way back home, the person came from the shadows and threw sulphuric acid on her face. Not only the acid distorted her face but it also disfigured the faces of her siblings as well who were walking next to her. Dr Elaine Rocha, a professor at Addis Ababa University’s Institute of Gender Studies, said It is only the most extreme cases like this that ever come out into the open. A woman is taught to tolerate abuse from a very, very early age. We could be talking about beating, abduction, harmful traditional practices like genital mutilation. The only time she might talk about it is when her life is at risk. Why it happens? The victims are attacked for many reasons. In some cases, the attack takes place because a young girl or woman has spurned the sexual advances of a male or has rejected a proposal of marriage. Recently, however, there have been acid attacks on children, older women and sometimes also men. These attacks are often the result of family or land disputes, dowry demands or a desire for revenge. Is it a Rising trend? According to the British charity Women at Risk acid attacks against women have been accounted in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India, three cities in Britain and Uganda. Although laws have been initiated in safeguarding women but there is still a problem with enforcing these new laws. Emotional trauma The offenders succeed in putting an end to the normal life of women. It is an extreme form of revenge on women. The families hesitate to go ahead with legal battles to punish the offenders who come out on bail easily due to imperfections in the prosecution statements. Once they come out, they threaten the victim’s family with further damage. Hence, the conviction rate for this crime is very low. Sometimes I think the perpetrators in question should be given acid showers to understand what they put the women through.

New propaganda letter in Faye’s name says: Pull out of Iraq

  • Posted on February 15, 2012 at 7:35 am

Iran created a new propaganda in retaliation to Blair’s demand of ‘unconditional release’ of the 25 year old mother with her 14 comrades. Part of the propaganda was a hand written note which the Iranian diplomats claimed to be written by the abducted sailor calling for British troops to be withdrawn from Iraq. Addressed to ‘representative of the House of Commons’, the one-page letter reads, ‘Isn’t it time for us to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future.’ It is signed ‘Faye Turney’ and dated March 27, three days ago. It concedes the key issue in the present crisis, which she and her fellow hostages were in Iranian waters when they were seized, which Britain strongly denies – and stresses her captors ‘have looked after me well.’ The authorities are of the view that the write up has been written under pressure. Downing Street said, It is cruel and callous to do this to someone in this position. To play games like this is a disgrace. Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said, We have not seen the letter but we have grave concerns about the circumstances in which it was prepared and issued. This blatant attempt to use Leading Seaman Turney for propaganda purposes is outrageous and cruel. Tehran had said she would be freed after ‘confessing’ that her Navy boarding party had ‘trespassed’ in Iranian waters but it back-tracked on the pledge. Hardline Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani accused the British Government of ‘arrogance’ and warned it to end its ‘fuss’ and ‘media campaign’. Mr Blair vowed to ‘step up the pressure’ on the Iranian regime and condemned the video footage of Mrs Turney as sheer ‘disgrace’. Iranian TV broadcast what it claimed was evidence that the Navy boats had repeatedly violated its territorial waters – despite data which Britain insists shows the incident occurred 1.7 miles inside Iraqi nautical waters. In the footage, lasting just five seconds, gunshots are heard and a helicopter hovers above inflatable boats in choppy seas. Iranian boats are shown cruising around with a couple of revolutionary guards shooting into the air. The scene of Mrs Turney being compelled to read out a statement on Iranian TV approving her captors has also focused attention on the way today’s servicemen and women are ordered to conduct themselves if detained. Conventionally they have been told to refuse to give anything other than name, rank and number. But now they are trained to cooperate with their captors if they believe their lives are at risk. Iran’s decision to suspend the release of Mrs Turney distressed her family and those of the 14 other political pawns. It also reopened the debate as to whether women members of the Armed Forces should be put in the front line of battle.

New Zealand: A woman was being raped while onlookers were ‘busy’ chatting

  • Posted on February 15, 2012 at 7:31 am

A group of seven men chatted around while, one of their friend, sexually molested a woman. The incident occurred at Wellington. Police called for witnesses to the attack, which inflicted horrific injuries on the victim, but Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Miller stated that there had been little or no response to that call. Police were disappointed by the response so far and again called for witnesses to do the right thing. The 20-year-old woman was walking down Courtenay Place past a group of Polynesian men about 5am on Sunday when one of the members of the group spoke to her. Later, he chased her till a car park and molested her. While the victim was being raped the offender spoke to his friends, who had followed him into the car park. Although the men had not participated in the attack but by protecting the rapist they were prolonging the victim’s trauma and recovery.

Historian documents Japan’s role in sex slavery

  • Posted on February 14, 2012 at 7:30 am

Japanese government’s claim that their military were not hand in glove with the running of brothels throughout Asia during World War II has been rebuffed by a historian. Yoshiaki Yoshimi, a history professor at Chuo University in Tokyo, cross checked the official documents from the 1930s in the Defense Agency’s library. And he discovered some ‘hidden information’ which insinuates the military involvement in running the brothels. For the past fifteen years, the government had established that there were no official documents to prove the military’s role in managing the brothels. However, Yoshimi pointed out, …if you can’t use anything except official documents, history itself is impossible to elucidate. The stress on official documents, according to Yoshimi and other historians, has always been part of the government’s strategy to control wartime history. In the two weeks between Japan’s surrender on Aug. 15, 1945, and the arrival of American occupation forces, wartime leaders anticipating postwar trials had destroyed nearly all the potentially incriminating documents. Even today, Japan refuses to release documents that, historians believe, have survived and would shed light on Japan’s wartime history. Although Yoshimi has discovered official documents showing the military’s role in managing brothels but he is not optimistic about unearthing documents about the military’s abduction of women. He says, There are things that are never written in official documents. That they were forcibly recruited – that’s the kind of thing that would have never been written in the first place. In late 1991, former sex slaves in South Korea became the first to break their silence. When the Japanese government responded with denials, Yoshimi went back to the Defense Agency’s library on a premonition that there were more incriminating official documents. Of the half-dozen he then discovered, the most damning was a notice written on March 4, 1938, by the adjutant to the chiefs of staff of Japan’s North China Area Army and Central China Expeditionary Force. Entitled ‘Concerning the Recruitment of Women for Military Comfort Stations,’ the notice revealed that armies in the field will control the recruiting of women and that this task will be performed in close cooperation with the military police or local police force of the area. While, other such paper noted that molestation of the native women by the Japanese soldiers had aggravated anti-Japanese sentiments and that conception of facilities for sexual comfort as quickly as possible is of great importance. Yet another asserted that the 21st Army had directly managed 850 women. Now, the question arises, how these documents survived? Well, it was because they were shifted to 40 kilometers west of central Tokyo before the end of war. The postwar American occupation forces had confiscated the documents at that time, eventually returning them to Japan in the 1950s. Government tried it utmost to hide the past yet Yoshimi succeeded in coloring a detailed picture of Japan’s wartime sex slavery. Yoshimi asserted that it was all because of the persistent campaign by nationalist politicians who have succeeded in casting doubt, in Japan, on what is accepted as historical fact elsewhere. The fund which was aimed to help the victimized women is set to expire today. As provided by the statistics, it, provided 285 women in the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan with monetary compensation and gave medical aid to some 80 Dutch sex slaves. Yet there were many who did not accept the aid because it had neither come directly from the government nor been accompanied by an official apology. Read
