Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Answer
Beauty is a value associated with an innate and emotional perception of life's affirmative and meaningful aspects within objects in the perceived world âie. vitality, fertility, health, happiness, goodness, and love. Cognition of "beauty" involves the interpretation of objects as being in balance and harmony with nature, which in turn elicits a sense and experience of attraction, affection, and pleasure.

In its most profound sense, beauty is said to engender a salient experience of positive reflection with regard to the meaning of one's own being within natural life. An "object of beauty" may be anything that reveals or resonates with a personal meaning. Hence religious and moral teachings have often focused on the divinity and virtue of beauty, to assert natural beauty as an aspect of a spiritual beauty (ie. truth) and to define all self-centered or materialistic pretensions as based in ignorance. The ancient story of Narcissus for example, deals with the distinction between recognizing beauty and falling into vanity. The presence of the self in any human context means that beauty is naturally tied to its human meaning, wherein human beauty is often the dominant aspect of a greater natural beauty. Otherwise, objects can be defined as belonging to any of various types, such as "artificial," or "intellectual" beauty.

In the modern context, the usage of beauty as means to promote an ideology or dogma has been a focus of societal debates which center around issues of prejudice, ethics, and human rights. The usage of beauty for purposes of commercialism is a controversial aspect of the "culture wars," wherein feminism typically claims such usage promotes a dogmatic (ie. "The Beauty Myth") rather than a virtuous understanding of beauty. The literal opposite of beauty is ugliness âie. the perceived lack of beauty, which stimulates displeasure and engenders a deeper negative perception of the object.

Is it okay to mention in the resume the beauty website I own?

My website is all about beauty and woman's health. It contains reviews of cosmetics, astro stuff and many other things that deal with women's personal development including psychology. Usually, I do not say anything about my own personal life over there. But yeah, I do mention my opinions on cosmetics stuff. Is it okay to include address of such site in the resume?

Answer
Only if you make profit on it, or it has a decent amount of followers (over 100 for sure).
If so, then you have a strong attribute to add to your resume! (:

I have two neighbors that have been driving me up the wall. One is an old woman who gossips a lot and is a busybody.

The other one has a child that screams in the wee hours of the night.
She has been badmouthing about my family (after my aunt confronted her) and my late grandmother who used to live in my house.

I have not dealt with the matter at hand but I am most curious: how do Muslims deal with such people?

**I am a convert

Answer
As salaamu 'alaikym warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, sister.

Insha'Allah, as to the neighbor who child cries at night, I would politely speak to her about the same inquiring if she might need some assistance with the child during the day that she might get some more rest so as to be better able to deal with the child during the might.

You might also find that the child has a health problem or some other difficulty and you assistance might make a big difference for the mother and the child. Alhumdulillah!

Insha'Allah, every time you busy body neighbor begins to back bite and gossip, change the subject to something totally unrelated like the weather, a pleasant news story you may have heard, and experience from your past, etc. You might also ask her about her hobbies, if she sews, knits, gardens, cooks and talk about that.

If she ask why you don't seem to be listening to her gossip politely explain to her that in Islam, back biting, gossiping and spreading rumors is haram/forbidden.

For both, keep them in your prayers during salaah asking Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala to guide them to the right path, and to allow them to discover the beauty, truth and wisdom that is Islam. Alhumdulillah!

In all cases, try to see what is going on with the other person from his or her point of view treating them with the same respect and kindness you would wish to receive. Alhumdulillah!

May we all be rightly guided.

ma'a salaam

(P.S., I am a revert, too. Alhumdulillah!)

How do people deal with the unexplainable death their dog?

Our dog recently died a very painful death in the end. Massive internal bleeding brought on for no reason. Our vet and several others are stumped. He was in perfect health and died on his 8th birthday which is killing me. I have incredible guilt I should have gotten him to the vet sooner.

Answer
i started out on here in YA answering in the dogs section, and as tempting as it is to go into the possible reasons as to why this might have happened, you posted here in R&S, so i will answer from that perspective.

much the same as an unexpected and and unforeseen aneurysm can occur in seemingly healthy teenagers, massive injury can occur to our pets that leave us feeling as if we have been hit with a with a sucker punch to our soul.

do not torture yourself by replaying the events over and over in your mind. the "what if" game will only destroy and eat away at the beauty and happiness that your pet's life represented. in the end, what pain he might have had, he knew, in his canine mind, that he was with a master who had loved and protected and defended him all life, and there was no other safer place for him to be, no matter the circumstances.

you gave him the best life he could have ever had - this i'm sure of. you wouldn't be tortured with these feelings if you didn't care so much, and that type of owner treats and loves his pet well. the years you had with your dog were good ones, and he was lucky to have had them with you, instead of somewhere, anywhere else.

focus on the memories. remember a specific instance - a funny time chasing a ball, nipping at a bug, licking the toilet bowl water - anything good, and make that come to your mind when the dark thoughts threaten to take over. it will ease as time goes by...i've not been in your exact same situation, but i've been there as to the loss of a pet.

my thoughts and sympathies, as do the ((hugs)) from furry friends in the house here, go out to you and yours.

I heard that the average person has anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds of fecal matter build up inside their colon! (YUCK) and that a colon cleansing can get rid of that. Is that true or just junk science?

Also, if a colon cleansing is worth the money, do you have to go to a doctor to get one done or can you buy something at a drug store or health food store and do it yourself?

Thanks for any help and / or advice.

Answer
As I understand it (not that I've had it done or anything) it is more than just a fad. It is meant to be VERY good at getting rid of toxins which will make your body much more vibrant and healthy, better digestion, better skin, better flow (blood and waste), you should feel less sluggish and more 'on the go'.

However it is expensive and it only really has long term benefits if you get colonic cleansing on a regular basis - like once a year.

I am a little shy of it but if I had more money and knew I could keep up the annual payments then I would try it as I believe it to be very beneficial.

Where to get it done? I'm not sure - I think most beauty salons would do it. Perhaps some private doctors/health clinics too? I don't know how to advise where you find out the best one in your area. Google's always good but as for reviews? Who knows?

Good luck!

How do I deal with my emotions after drastic weight gain?

I need help dealing with my emotions in healthy ways while I transition from the weight I am currently at back down to my goal weight. I'm 21 years old and in the course of four years, I gained 140 pounds due to a couple of medical conditions. I went three years with undiagnosed hypothyroidism and also suffer from PCOS(poly-cystic ovarian syndrome). I finally found out about my thyroid after I discovered a mass in my throat. I was gaining weight so rapidly and I became severely depressed and the weight gain honestly changed who I was as a person. I completely changed my lifestyle. I stopped going out, stopped seeing friends and family, and isolated myself most of the time. I didn't feel like I was even worthy as a person anymore. I know beauty and being considered "beautiful" isn't just about physical appearance, but the shame I felt from my weight was so overwhelming that it masked who I was on the inside. Especially because not even 5 years ago, I was a healthy and active person who enjoyed life and was fearless. I'm beginning my weight loss journey and I'm on a mission to find the old me again. I'm finally going on the right medications to help with my health problems and to help me get my life back. I just need some extra confidence and support. Nobody understands what i'm going through and how this has honestly affected every single aspect of my life. I have felt like a prisoner in my own body for the past 4 years. I miss feeling good about myself and not having constant worries. Looking back on old pictures is so painful. I miss the girl in those photos and most of all I miss that sparkle in my eyes. Anybody who has gained weight or even somebody who is beginning a weight loss journey of any kind, I'm open to any advice you are willing to give. Thank you all sooo much in advance and take care! xxoo Leilah
