7 Beauty Uses For Lemons
1.
Clarifying moisturizer: Mix a few drops of
coconut water with a few drops of lemon juice. The coconut will hydrate your
skin, and lemon will clear and brighten your skin.
2.
Elbow and knee bleacher: If your elbows and
knees appear darker than the rest of you, simply rub them with half of a lemon.
3.
Blackhead treatment: It may sound too good to be
true, but because lemons are antibacterial, they can help treat acne. Just
slice a lemon, and squeeze the juice on your face. Your blackheads will start
to fade before you know it.
4.
Cleansing wipes and shine eliminator: Try mixing
a couple drops of lemon and tea tree essential oil in about 170ml of distilled
water. Use it with cotton pads as a cleansing wipe for problematic skin and to
reduce excess oil.
5.
Teeth whitener: Mix baking soda and lemon juice,
and apply it to your teeth with a clean cotton bud. Then, use your toothbrush
to scrub your teeth and rinse.
6.
Skin brightener: Lemons are rich in vitamin C
and citric acid, so they can help brighten and lighten your skin when used over
time. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant for neutralizing free radicals and
boosting collagen production. That means it can help lighten dark spots.
Remember to wear SPF when using lemon juice on your skin, though, since the
citrus fruit can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
7.
Nail strengthener: Make a mixture of your
favorite cooking oil (try olive oil) with lemon juice, and soak your nails.
This is a good practice if your nails are dry and brittle, but it's also a
great way to help fix nails that have yellowed.

7 Types Of Sex Every Couple Should have At Least Once.
1. The Zero-Inhibitions Sex
This sex is when you totally let go
and let your wild child out. You'll try things you haven't had the guts to before,
and drive both you and your partner completely wild.
2. The make-up sex that is totally worth
the Fight
Some of the best sex Seyi and I
have had is just after a fight. Sometimes I find that when I’m most mad at him
is when I want him the most. I mean we'll be in the middle of a fight and I’ll be
thinking “I want him so bad now”.
3. Sex That's So Good You
Accidentally Break Things
This brings back memories of me,
Seyi, a shower curtain and a shower curtain pole. This is sex when you're so out of your mind with
pleasure that you have pretty much no control over where your hands, feet and
other body parts go. So the lamp is shattered, your shower curtain is ripped,
your headboard is broken, your bed is broken, your report that’s due tomorrow
is ruined and your laptop is fried after that glass of water dropped on it.
4. Morning Sex That Makes You Late
for Work
This guarantees you’ll come into
work all flustered, with a stupid grin on your face and feeling very naughty.
5. The
OMG-I-Can't-Believe-I-Did-That Sex
They say when you are old you regret the
things you didn’t do not the things you did do. So whether its sex in the car,
when you have guests round or on a plane, something that excites you as
much as it makes you nervous, just do it. Whether it ends up being totally awesome or
absolutely awful, you can cross if off your list that you did it.
6. Goodbye Sex
When you’re going to be apart from each other for
a while this will be slightly soul crushing but extra passionate, and it'll be
good.
7. Sex with THAT Soundtrack
First of all, if you don't have that song yet,
you know, the one you makes feel all loved up, gooey inside and naughty all at the same time,
you need to go out and find it, stat. Have
it on while you're getting it down and it will be the best ever. Mine is sexual
healing by Marvin Gaye and it gets me every time. Copyright June's Secrets 2015

Warning Signs Of Future Mother-In-Law Problems.
When I was younger I used to say I would like to marry a man whose mother had either passed away when he was young or lived on another continent. Well I got my wish, my mother inlaw does live on another continent, but I have since discovered, the hard way, that promiximity or lack thereof does not determine whether or not you will experience mother inlaw issues.
I was adviced, when I was old enough to get married, that the way to know how a man will treat you and whether he will be good to you is to look at how he treats his mother. If he's close to her and kind to her then he will treat you right. Boy was that the wrong advice, because it was half baked. They didn't say that if he is close to his mother then he will not be close to you and if he is kind and meets all her needs, like HER husband should, then he will not meet yours. I took what should have been red flashing warning lights to mean green and that I would be safe. I thought as soon as we got married, all that care and affection would be transferred to me and his kids and we would come first. Was I "epically" wrong. It's was 10 tearfilled and hard years, it's all good now but if you would like to be prepared and not have the same experiences I did then here are a few warning signs to look out for;
1.Mother-in-law is insensitive and doesn't respect boundaries.
2.Mother-in-law is overly dependent on your man for emotional and lifestyle support. She calls him every time her husband looks at her wrong.
3.Partner clearly puts mother-in-law needs and requests ahead of yours.
4.Partner talks to mother daily and will literally drop everything when she calls.
5.Partner values mother's advice and opinions over yours. Always talking about my mother said this and my mother does it this way. ( a good response to this would be"well she wasn't the one rocking your world last night")
6.Partner runs to mother when arguments occur.
7.Mother-in-law attacks your character and he doesn't stick up for you.
8.Mother-in-law treats her son like he's still a child and competes with you. Tries to prove she knows him better than you.
9.During family gatherings, you're overlooked or ignored by mother-in-law
10.Mother-in-law actively campaigns against your marriage. Well I think this one is a no brainer, if she's saying she doesn't him marrying you then chances are she will be a nightmare if he does marry you but this is only if he allows her to be.

2 Stomach Friendly Tips For a Healthier And Happier Tum.
1. Take probiotics on an empty stomach
It’s the new craze now. Everyone is talking about
probiotics, but what are they? They are quite simply the good bacteria that
naturally exist in the gut. They aid digestion and digestive health and have
been shown to possibly help you lose weight. Taking good quality probiotics
everyday on an empty stomach will ensure you get the most benefit. There are
probiotic capsules you can take such as Bio-Kult, Optibac and Solgar or if you
are pill-popping averse then you can try eating foods that naturally contain
probiotics.
Foods that contain probiotics include
·
Yoghurts, go for ones that say live and active
cultures on the label and little or no sugar e.g. Yakult
· Kefir. This is a cross between yoghurt and milk.
It is made by fermenting milk with bacteria and yeast to produce a slightly
tangy and creamy drink that can be taken
on its own or blended with fruit to make a smoothie.
· Soft cheese. Not all cheese are a good source of
probiotics the main ones to eat are cheddar, cottage, parmesan and gouda
cheese.
2. Fast twice a week.
Give your digestive system a rest by fasting for 16 hours
twice a week. You can have soup early one evening and then have nothing to eat
until lunchtime the following day. This gives your gut a much needed break and
allows the lining of the intestines to heal and repair.
