Insomnia treatment- Instant stress relief!

In my previous articles, most of you would have identified some of the symptoms you may be facing. The most common symptom generally felt by many is feeling fatigue the first thing in the morning. Coffee seems to be the only beverage that seems to be working, but the number of cups seems to be increasing as one cup does not seem to be enough to keep you energetic anymore.

Are people doing anything to increase their quality sleep hours instead of doing something to increase their wake hours?

The mind has a great influence over the energetic body because it plays a significant part in the health of our energy body. It can either work for us, helping to balance the energy flow and bringing about good health, or it can work against us, causing disruptions and diminishing our overall health.

Conditions such as insomnia indicate that the body is struggling and that there are energetic imbalances, which will require time and effort to put right.

I have been searching for a method which can help give you instant stress relief when you can feel a knot at your forehead. Here is a tip which you may find useful:

Focus on two very effective stress-releasing points, on your forehead about 2.5 cm (1 inch) up from the center of your eyebrows. Do it consciously and direct your energy here when your mind refuses to relax down, or when you are unable to sleep, despite your body and mind being exhausted. 

Increased clarity

Holding your stress-releasing points for a minute or two can bring tremendous relief from the turmoil of the mind. Use them whenever tensions are building, when you feel the need for increased clarity, or when you think your inability to sleep is due to stress and anxiety.

• Gently place your thumb and index or middle finder in position to induce calm.
•  After a while, you will probably notice that your breathing deepens and flows more freely and that your mind is clearer as your thoughts become less congested.

      Use these methods when you are having a rough time during school or at work. If it works for you, teach others how to do it.

If you realized that this mini exercise is not helpful, your sleep condition could be more serious.

Sleep routines that HELP you sleep better

This post is going to teach you a routine to improve your sleep!

Imagine that when you open your eyes in the morning, your mind is refreshed and you can immediately jump out of bed. Your eyes are clear and bright, and there are no signs of eye bags. After putting on your power suit, you make a quick check at the time. You are early for the meeting scheduled at 11am! If only every day is like today!

Would you like to have many days like that too?

The unfortunate fact is that, most people find it difficult to get out of bed once the alarm rings and they look dead tired when they start their day. Once lunch is over, they have a tendency to fall asleep and have poor concentration. This is the time when they drink the most cups of Nescafe, and struggle with the task on hand. 

What can you do if this scenario seems familiar to you?

Firstly, bedtime routine is part of sleep hygiene and helps us to prepare psychologically and physically for sleep. Try out these tips that may help you:

• Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol late in the day

• Eat the last meal of the day at least 2 hours before bedtime

• Cut down or avoid fluids at least one hour before bedtime

• Engage in exercise but avoid vigorous activity too close to bedtime

• Don't watch television in bed

• Relax your mind before bedtime

• Create a bedroom environment that enhances sleep

• Get up at the same time everyday

• Avoid daytime naps

Do you know…?
Relaxation is an important part of preparing for sleep. People who are plagued by a continuous stream of thoughts near bedtime can try listening to soothing music, relaxation tapes or meditation.

Our body temperature also plays an important role in determining the quality of sleep we have during the night. Our body temperature falls naturally towards the end of the day as we prepare to sleep. Having a warm bath, at least an hour before going to bed, can help raise the core body temperature and decreasing the transition time to sleep. Water has a relaxing effect on us, which also enhances sleepiness.

Exercising can also help to improve sleep. Physical exercise tires us out and results in the release of chemicals and hormones in the body that produce better quality sleep. Exercising in the afternoon rather than exercising close to bedtime is encouraged.

Having the right diet is important because we are what we eat. Inculcating the habit to have more fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet can help promote sleep.  As a first step, it’s a good idea to decrease the amount of stimulants you take in your body. Caffeinated drinks, chocolate, fizzy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, refined white sugar, junk or fast food, will lead to heartburn, dehydration, irritation of digestive process and irregularities in the heartbeat, if they are in our system for a long term.  All of which can contribute to wakefulness.

We also need to include a plentiful supply of vitamins and minerals in your diet. Therefore, eating food with high vitamin B content is vital. Vitamin B can be found in leafy green vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, lean meat and wheat germ.  Grapefruit juice, apples, apricots and honey have also been found helpful in promoting sleep. At the same time, having food rich in calcium and magnesium can also encourage the relaxation we need for sleep.

Are you curious whether you are having sufficient vitamins and minerals in your body? Would you like to enquire whether you are eating the right food for your body?

Effect of insomnia- Death from lack of sleep

I can’t sleep!

I’m having sleep deprivation!

I have a close friend who often shares his woes to me about not being able to sleep well. He seldom exercises and feels lethargic when he misses his daily pull ups and jogs. Due to his busy schedule, he has to sleep late. In the morning, he suffers from daytime sleepiness and often has sore throat and flu throughout the day whenever he does not have a good night’s rest. He wishes to wake up for work every morning, feeling refreshed with a clear mind and an evenly balanced mood. Could you be facing such symptoms as well?

What is sleep?

As stress mounts on the society to work longer hours, it indirectly affects the quality and quantity of sleep that determines a good night’s rest. During sleep, our senses are totally disengaged and we are temporarily unresponsive to our environment.

Sleep is important to health, and lack of sleep can lead to problems with our immunity, heart and circulatory system, hormone secretion and more. Poor quality or insufficient sleep can lead to impairment of daytime functioning, excessive daytime sleepiness and progressive memory loss.

How much sleep do we need?

Teens and preteens (12 to 18 years) require an average of 8.5-10 hours while adults would need 7.5-9 hours of sleep. Most adults actually sleep between 6-8 hours a day and they are often deprived of sleep.

The best way to assess whether you are meeting your sleep needs is to evaluate how you feel as you go about your day. Feeling energetic and alert all day long means that you are logging enough hours!

Besides the amount of sleep, we also should take note of the quality of sleep. Most people who are generally sleep deprived do not enjoy sufficient deep sleep. Deep sleep is the time when the body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. It plays a major role in maintaining your health, stimulating growth and development, repairing muscles and tissues, and boosting your immune system.

Could you be suffering from a sleep disorder?

Many people around me are unaware that they could be having sleep disorders. They could be having excessive daytime sleepiness, excessive movement during sleep, sleep apnea, snoring, narcolepsy or even sleep-walking.

However, they are not doing anything about it.

A sleep disorder is an abnormality in the state or progression of sleep. Being unaware of the symptoms and finding a treatment for the disorder, this could mount to long-term insomnia.

What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a symptom which defines inadequate or poor quality sleep which could be due to:

• Difficulty in falling asleep

• Difficulty in staying asleep

• Waking up too early in the morning and unable to get back to sleep

• Un-refreshing sleep

This condition which plagues many Singaporeans both young and old may be divided into situational factors, medical or psychiatric conditions, or primary sleep problems. Insomnia increases with age and is more common in women. People over 65 years of age generally have approximately 1.5 times higher rates of sleep difficulty compared with adults below the age of 65.

The duration of symptoms can be classified into transient, short-term or chronic. Transient insomnia generally last less than seven days; short-term insomnia usually lasts for about one to three weeks, and chronic insomnia lasts for more than three weeks.

What causes insomnia?

I have been doing observational studies for some time with people around me. The most common reason which causes insomnia is stress, anxiety and also poor lifestyle habit.

However, there are also many other health conditions which will lead to sleep disorders. Below are just a handful of conditions,

• Excessive snoring

• Chronic illness e.g diabetes

• Ageing

• Menopause

But we all have to agree that despite most trying to change their lifestyle by exercising and eating right, the problem still remains because of lack of time and motivation to change.

What is the possible problems insomnia will cause?

Sleep disorders and insomnia can result in accidents at work and on the road because it reduces your concentration level resulting in poor alertness and slow response. Many people with ongoing insomnia problems become depressed or generally agitated. Insomnia can also worsen an underlying medical condition.

Can Insomnia be treated?

Insomnia treatments are available. Before treatment can be administered, you have to first diagnose the primary cause for insomnia. It can be treated with short term use of sedative medications which are prescription, non-prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids, sleep hygiene, alternative therapies, or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Therefore it’s important to understand the type of treatment available to avoid any serious repercussions to one’s health.

Ladies edge

My style constantly balances between different looks.

One of my beloved styles is ladylike vintage styles.

Last week I received this wonderful jacket from Daydream Nation from one of my favorite bloggers Barbro.

I was the lucky winner of her giveaway. The jacket is so warm and soft that I wanted to wear it immediately.

What I like the most about it is it's edge in it's details. The fur trim and the studs.

As I was attending a cabaret event, nothing was over the top. So pulled out a fancy dress and my new pumps and my new Ray-Ban sunnies. I'm absolutely in love with them. It's a vintage model from the 80s called Laramie. It has a slight cat eye effect to the usual Wayfarer model.

I think girls don't dress up quiet enough, these days. Many of them just follow each other, walking around like clones. I always was a fan of personal style. These days it's more jeans and a shirt, than a nice dress and heels. Kind of boring if you ask me. It's funny, because so many people are overwhelmed when they see me and my friends all dressed up. For us it's just normal and this is how it should be.

I'd rather drop dead than wear sneakers to the restaurant. But here, in Belgium, it's not such a rare sight. Believe me or not. Many women forgot what it is to look at it's best. Such a shame...

I wore: Zara dress and pumps, Daydream Nation cardigan, Ray-Ban Laramie sunnies, H&M necklace and hair pin, C&A clutch.

River Island Preview X-Mas collection 2011

Tuesday we were invited by the wonderful pr girls from Oona to attend the preview of the X-Mas collection of River Island. The event held place at their own offices in Antwerp.

The collection was all about reinventing the Christmas classics. 70s chique was main trend. Bold colors and accessories, flared palazzo pants, lace, embroideries and fake fur are the keywords. With these elements you are sure of being the centre of attention during the holiday parties. River Island is relatively new on our Belgian market, it's becoming well known fast. Their take on trends is interesting and there's is a big variety of accessories and bags to accompany the clothes. There's still some work on the quality of some garments.

I must admit there were a few pieces I really fell in love with some of the items, especially the blue pleated midi skirt. I'll be on the hunt for it soon. 

It was a very warm evening with a lot of lovely fellow bloggers. I was nice to see you all again!

Arriving with Manon from Affreux

Health Benefits and Nutrititive Value of Cow’s Milk: Milk and Diabetes

In a 25 year long cohort study conducted on 5700 Scottish men, it was observed that the rate of death due to coronary artery disease and heart related disorders was lower among men who consumed two-thirds of cup of milk each day. Further, the study also observed a lower rate of cancer related deaths and stroke among individuals consuming milk regularly. The study found that the components of milk had a protective action against life style related disorders. However, the use of cow’s milk especially during infancy and early childhood may be associated with certain adverse effects on health including development of type 1 diabetes

Cow's Milk has several

Health Benefits

Cow’s Milk and Nutrition: Milk Fats and Vitamins

Cow’s milk comprises of 87.4% of water and 12.6% of milk solids. In whole milk, the solids portion comprises of 3.7 percent of fats, 3.4 percent of proteins and 4.8 percent of lactose. In addition about 0.8% of the milk solids comprises of essential vitamins and minerals.

A single serving of 100 ml of whole milk supplies approximately 60 calories of energy which comprise of 3.3 grams of proteins, 3.25 grams of fats and about 4.9 grams of carbohydrates. Fat free milk contains nominal quantities of fat and average calorie intake of one serving of milk is approximately 34 calories.

Milk fats comprise of 98% of triglycerides and 2% of phospholipids, cholesterol, free fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins including Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. Milk contains more than 400 different fatty acids and fatty acid derivates and contains high proportion of short chain and medium chain fatty acids.

Milk is also a great source of conjugated linolenic acid which has several potential health benefits including having protective action against the development of breast cancer. Milk is a great source of Vitamin B complex and the only source of Vitamin B12 for vegetarians.

Health Benefits of Cow’s Milk: Protects the Heart, Prevents Cancer and Aids in Weight Loss

Cow's Milk is protective

against Atherosclerosis

Regular consumption of milk has several health benefits. These health benefits include,

• 
  

  
  Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) found in milk is known to prevent the formation of plaques and has a protective action against atherosclerosis. In addition CLA is also known to enhance immunity and lower the risk of development of cancer. In a study conducted on 360 women it was observed that in females with higher concentration of CLA in breast tissue were at 74% lower risk of developing breast cancer. 

  
  
  
  


• 
  

  
  Myristic Acid in milk is an important fatty acid which plays a crucial role in the stabilization of proteins; especially those used by the immune system and thereby enhance the ability of the body to fight chronic conditions including cancer. Similarly Sphingomyelin is known to have anti cancer properties. 

  
  
  
  


• 
  

  
  Caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs) bind with calcium and increase their absorption and play a beneficial role in the prevention of osteoporosis and joint disorders. 

  
  
  
  


• 
  

  
  Antihypertensive Milk peptides block angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACE) and play a pivotal role in regulating blood pressure. 

  
  
  
  


• 
  

  
  Glycomarcopeptide is responsible for delaying gastric emptying which in turn helps in suppressing appetite and aids in weight management. Furthermore, CLA has also been known to promote lean body mass and thereby plays a crucial role in fighting obesity and assisting in the process of losing weight.

  
  
  
  

Cow’s Milk and the Type I Diabetes: Importance of Breast Milk among Infants

Population based studies have reiterated the role and importance of breast feeding, especially during the first few months of infancy. Breast milk provides considerable protection against infection and considered to play a vital part in the early development and growth of the infant.

Case control studies have shown that individuals who developed type I diabetes were more likely to have been breast feed for less than three months compared to others.

It is hypothesized that bovine insulin present in cows milk can trigger an autoimmune response in the body, which may result in self destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas.

In addition, another adverse reaction of cow’s milk especially among children is the higher rate of constipation associated with increased consumption of cow’s milk.

A rare flower

Already a month passed from the day she died and it still feels kind of surreal.

There will be no more new records, never will that beautiful voice sing again.

She was troubled, a tortured soul. But she might have had a bright future ahead of her.

She was half way through, it's sad she didn't make it.

But she will be remembered, already a legend, as all of the others that are gone too soon.

This is a tribute to the one and only Amy Winehouse. The photographs are by Hedi Slimane who really captured her soul in them.

† May she rest in peace †

Too cool for school

And finally, I'm back from my, what it seemed, blogging break.

As I previously told I went on vacation to Rodos, a wonderful Greek island very close to Turkish coast.

The pictures from the trip are yet to come.

I came back tanned, but, unfortunately to bad weather. Was ill and busy.

But here I am!

It seemed like time for a new outfit. And here it is.

I decided to return, with what, I guess, must be one of my signature looks through the few past years: The School Girl Look. My fascination with school uniforms began at an early age of seven. From that age till I was 13 I wore a black and white uniform at my school. We could choose between any white blouse or sweater and a black skirt, so it was still fun.

I moved to Belgium where I never had to wear a school uniform again, but my love always remained. An early age fetish that's there to stay. I don't think I'm not going to be able to pull that look off when I hit my thirties, but that gives me still a lot of years to play.

I was immediately in love with that Zara blouse when I saw it hit the stores. Unfortunately it sold out pretty fast. Great was my relieve when I found it in the sales. It has everything I love, green and stripes! I don't have to tell you by what collection it was inspired and I decided to add some orange nails to add that extra reference ;)

This preppy, sporty college outfit was entirely bought during the sales. Budget shopping wise! (Also the one from my previous post)

Wearing: Zara blouse and skirt, Fred Perry bag, C&A sunnies.

Graslei Ghent. I'm here so often that I'm practically used to all the beauty we live around.

An important aspect of your skin care regimen and anti aging treatment program is water. Drink plenty of water. Water hydrates your skin from within. Insufficient amount of water causes dehydration and consequently essential anti aging nutrients can not be delivered to the system. To look younger, you have to make sure that water is an integral part of the anti aging regime.

Anti Oxidants and Anti Aging Go Hand in Hand: Anti Aging Foods

• Make sure you take plenty of anti oxidant in your daily diet. Anti oxidants are powerful tools to battle the ravages of age. They prevent oxidative cell damage and thus ward off the onslaught of aging.


• Ensure that you have loads of limes, lemons, bell peppers, cherries, berries, apples and papayas. They are packed with vitamin C, the most potent anti oxidant and beauty vitamin. Vitamin C fights off fines lines, delays their appearance and lightens the skin significantly. It protects your skin from the brutal effects of the sun.


• Vitamin A is crucial for healthy looking skin and hair. It imparts a healthy sheen to the skin, banishes age spots and keeps your skin looking supple.

• Another powerful anti oxidant is the vitamin E. Vitamin E is vital for youngest looking skin and hair. What’s more, it helps deal with stress effectively. Vitamin E is fundamental for the healthy functioning of the nervous system. It soothes frayed and frazzled nerves and eliminates negative moods and emotions. Nuts and seeds are the best sources of vitamin E.


• Taking supplements to meet your daily need for the anti oxidants is recommended too. However, do not depend entirely on supplementation. Incorporate these foods in to the daily menu. 








Regular Skin Care prevents

Aging and maintains a




Glowing Skin






• Include green tea to your routine. Green tea is an excellent natural anti aging food that is packed with anti oxidants. It slows down the process of aging: fights heart trouble, keeps off cancer, helps maintain ideal body weight, boost stamina and immune mechanisms and keeps you looking radiant.

Anti Aging Treatment and Daily Skin Care

• You must scrub your face and neck twice a week. Natural scrubs made of oatmeal; walnuts, cinnamon, etc. are decidedly effective and widely popular. A scrub gently exfoliates the skin. Exfoliation is a crucial part of anti aging. It helps eliminate dead cells and enhance cell renewal. Use a loofah to scrub your body daily. Never neglect the skin on the rest of your body. It needs care as well.


• Steam your face once in a week. Make sure you apply ice after 5 to 7 minutes of steaming. Steam opens up the pores and gets rid off dirt and grime that tend to clog and enlarge the pores, resulting in black heads, white heads, acne and pimples.


• Moisturization is exceedingly essential. Keeping your skin moisturized gives it a radiant and dewy appearance. Dry skin looks old and neglected. Moisturization prevents the development of wrinkles.


• Importantly, protect your skin from the sun. The sun makes the skin dry, dull and leathery. It speeds up the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Use scarves, glares and umbrellas and slather on plenty of sun block.

Exercise to Look Younger: Anti Aging Exercise

Exercise daily and face yoga gives you loads of energy, builds muscle mass, enhances blood flow to the skin, tackles depression and anxiety, strengthens bones and boosts metabolism. Exercise augments the delivery of vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells and makes you look youthful.

Sleep is very vital if you want to preserve your youthful looks. When you sleep, your body releases the growth hormone which stimulates cell turn-over. Poor sleep and stress suppress the immune system and step up the process of aging considerably. Ensure that you sleep for 8 hours everyday. Power naps are extremely effective too.
