I will hold your hand at times and smile at you. I will notice how your lips curve upwards when your favourite music plays on the stereo. I will tell you about the habits you didn't know you had.

How To Maintain Colour-Treated Hair

Have you coloured your hair recently? That must’ve been an exciting experience? As much as we love colouring our hair, little are we aware that colour hair needs extra intensive care if you look to last the dye longer. It's so heartbreaking when you colour your hair, and it fades away in just a few weeks due to improper care of your locks. Before you learn it the hard way, here are some of the tips that we have gathered for you: Turn Down The Water Temperature: Hot showers are fantastic, but it's not so great for your colour treated hair. Remember that when you wash your hair with warm water, the hair's cuticle is opened. This allows the colour to wash away while shampooing and conditioning.

How Many Calories Should You Eat A Day?

What goes into our head the moment we think of calories? Fattening foods. However, in dietary terms, calories are what provides us with energy. If we take in more energy than we do need, we will start gaining weight. And on the other hand, if we take in lesser energy, we will start losing fat, weight and eventually muscle mass. What we eat determines how much calories we consume. For instance, if you are on a weight-loss diet, chances are you will decide on what to eat and what not to eat. Not to forget that how and when you eat does put an effect on the body as it uses energy differently throughout the day. Your body’s energy use always depends on how active you are and a little bit on how old you are. [blockquote author="" link="" target="_blank"]As per Dietary Guidelines fo...
