Perhaps, your boyfriend persuades you to shop for his Aunty Jane, who you've never even met. That is a good time to rely on popular Christmas gifts because they appeal to so many people.

Social networking sites "good for businesses"

Good news for workers addicted to Facebook, Bebo and MySpace - a British think-tank says bosses should not stop their staff using social networking sites because they could actually benefit their firms.

The report by Demos said encouraging employees to use networking technologies to build relationships and closer links with colleagues and customers could help businesses rather than damage them. It concluded that trying to control the use of sites such as Facebook, which alone boasts more than 100 million users worldwide, could even harm organizations.

Top 5 Foods to Eat to get Slim

1.Fish
Most fish have low fat and high amounts of protein. There are some fish however, with high amounts of fat such as salmon, trout, herring, mackerel, and sardines. Although due to the fact that these fish are so high in Omega 3 fatty acids, these can and should be eaten liberally. You should have your fished baked, grilled, or boiled. Be sure to avoid fatty and high calorie extras such as sauces and butter.

2.Green vegetables
This could be broccoli, green beans, lettuce, asparagus, etc. Fibrous carbs are your best bet to get fat burning carbohydrates. These green vegetables barely contain any calories! You can never have enough of these fibrous carbs… eat them liberally, and have them anytime of the day. Having a diet consist of green vegetables along with lean proteins is one of the best ways to burn fat as fast as possible.

3.100% Whole Wheat and Whole Grain products
Your main diet can include a wide variety of bread products, provided that they follow one important rule: They must be 100% whole grains.

4.Nonfat Dairy Products
Milk, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese. Whole milk dairy products should not be included in your diet, because they contain loads of fat.

Dairy products are good because they can accomplish two important aspects of weight loss and muscle gain: the need for carbohydrates and proteins. Because dairy products tend to have high quality protein, a dairy product with high amounts of protein can be substituted for other protein foods. For example, you can eat non-fat cottage cheese as a protein substitute instead of eating lean meat. Non-fat cheese can also be used to increase the amount of protein in your meal.

5.Brown Rice
Brown rice is perfect all year round, as long as you watch your calorie intake. This means not eating fried rice or other rice dishes with lots of extra fat and calories. Eating steamed or boiled rice is the best way to go.

Of the different types of rice, slowly cooked brown rice and basmati rice are excellent choices. Instant rice is okay if you’re low on time, but instant rice is digested quickly and is processed similarly to a simple carbohydrate. Diet & Nutrition help

Water Filters - The safest way to drink water

Water is a vital part to nutrition, but knowing just how much water to drink to maintain a healthy lifestyle is often difficult. The truth is, there is no hard and fast rule governing how much water an individual should drink. The specific amount depends upon a number of factors, including your age, gender, level of activity, and even your environment. While the 'eight cups a day' long recommended by doctors may hold true for some people, it is far better to look at your own individual lifestyle factors to determine the appropriate amount of water for you.

Water filters currently provide the best and healthiest solution to the problems of both bottled water and tap water. Water filters remove more dangerous contaminants than any other purification method, and they are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water. Also, drinking filtered water is a much more economical practice than drinking bottled water. The pure water product of a water filter costs very little more than untreated tap water. Furthermore, because water filters use no more energy than is already required to propel water through a home's plumbing system, they circumvent several of the environmental problems of the bottled water industry.

Cheer Up - Exercise for Stress

Have you ever noticed how much older you look when you are stressed-out?

Taking care of yourself physically, exercising, and learning a deep relaxation technique can actually make you appear and feel younger and more youthful.

When you are worried and/or stressed, extra demands are placed on your body. This increases your need for good nutrition and sleep. Many scientists believe adequate sleep and good nutrition even combat the negative effects stress can have. Another potent weapon against stress and its aging effect is exercise. A regular program of aerobic exercises will:

* Increase energy levels
* Make you feel younger, more youthful.
* Improve self-esteem
* Clear your mind
* Make you appear more youthful
* Relax tensed muscles, including facial muscles where tension is aging, thus making you look younger.

Deep relaxation makes you feel calm and refreshed. It is difficult to feel stress when your body is relaxed. In a mere 20 minutes per day, you can trade tension for relaxation and look and feel younger in the process. Better than any anti-aging pill.
Exercise is mood-altering without a prescription, exercising with music is even better.

Give it a try. Play that music and get exercising for at least five minutes. It is an over-the-counter way to improve your mental outlook and your physical self. Extend that exercise until you are up to at least 30 minutes. Or try walking briskly in the park with a headset tuned to music. You'll come home relaxed and feeling sensational from the music and the outdoors.

Make your skin glow with RoC skincare

Yesterday I picked up a little tube of ROC retin-ox anti wrinkle moisturiser that my grandma had left in my house when she visited last week. I am very sceptical when it comes to wonder creams and such like, but I felt positive so I thought I would give it a go and see what happens. I applied a little bit of it over my face and neck, just before bedtime.

Well, today I awoke and went straight to the mirror. My skin was firmer, my wrinkles vastly reduced, and I felt more confident. Suprise, suprise... I certainly was!

Believe me I don't work for RoC Skincare, but I highly recommed them, and I will be looking at their other products soon. Try it yourself - it actually works. Well they do say, they keep their promises!

So I have set up a little RoC shop in association with Amazon.co.uk. If you would like to look at some of their bestsellers, click on the RoC Skincare shop.
