Tips How to Personalize Your Interior Environment

June 11, 2010 By Denz

Interior Design today is all about customizing your built environment with conceptual planning, aesthetic sense and technical solutions applied to achieve the desired result. It goes beyond just the visual or ambient enhancement of an interior space, it seeks to optimize and harmonize the uses to which the built environment will be put. Between you and me, this jargon simply means dressing up your closed spaces to make them look their best. And just as you would dress for the occasion, your interiors need to be ‘dressed up’ for a specific intended purpose or use. And that is where technical expertise really helps.

Basically, Interior Designs should reflect your needs. Each space is unique with its own dimensions, construction, design potential and, of course, – limitations. Are you going to use that space for work or leisure, entertainment or learning, worship or healing? Can you create the ambience that you wish to convey – be it power, authority, wisdom, and achievement, a sense of security, playfulness or serenity, as required by that space?

Consider the practical aspects. Is access easy, lighting adequate, acoustics soothing, and seating comfortable? And have you worked out strategies for wise storage space without forgetting special needs – especially health and safety? Sounds a wee-bit difficult, isn’t it? Despair not! You as user are the only one who can come up with all the right answers. Look for interior design ideas – they are available aplenty. It’s just this small matter of putting things together judiciously. Who knows? There could well be a Le Corbusier hiding somewhere in your persona

How to Deal with stress

June 10, 2010 By Denz

Basically, the secret of managing stress is to look after yourself and where possible, to remove some of the causes of stress. If you start to feel things are getting on top of you, give yourself some breathing space. Take a day off work, domestic chores, family and everything else that puts pressure on you. Spend the day doing only relaxing things that make you feel good. It can make all the difference, reducing the threat to your wellbeing. So, here are some ways to cope with stress:

  • Accept offers of practical help
  • Do one thing at a time – don’t keep piling stress on stress
  • Know your own limits – don’t be too competitive or expect too much of yourself
  • Talk to someone
  • Let off steam in a way that causes no harm (shout, scream or hit a pillow)
  • Walk away from stressful situations
  • Try to spend time with people who are rewarding rather than critical and judgmental
  • Practice slow breathing using the lower part of the lungs
  • Use relaxation techniques

Things to Remember after Tooth Extraction

June 5, 2010 By Denz

Following an extraction, it’s important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That’s why your dentist will ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes after an extraction. If bleeding or oozing continues after you remove the gauze pad, place another gauze pad on the area and bite firmly for another 30 minutes. You may have to do this several times. After the blood clot forms, it’s important to protect it, especially for the next 24 hours. It’s important not to:

  • smoke and chew tobacco
  • drinking alcohol
  • suck through a straw
  • rinse your mouth vigorously
  • clean the teeth next to the extraction site

These activities could dislodge the clot and slow down healing. Limit yourself to calm activities for the first 24 hours. This keeps your blood pressure lower, reduces bleeding, and helps the healing process.

After the tooth is extracted, you may feel some pain and have some swelling. You can use an ice bag (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off) to keep this to a minimum. The swelling usually starts to go down after 48 hours.

To control discomfort, take pain medication as recommended. Don’t take medication on an empty stomach or nausea may result. If antibiotics are prescribed, continue to take them for the indicated length of time, even if all symptoms and signs of infection are gone. Also:

  • Drink lots of fluids.
  • Eat only soft, nutritious foods on the day of the extraction.
  • Don’t use alcoholic beverages.
  • Avoid hot and spicy foods.

Tips to Make your own Fitness Plan

March 17, 2010 By Denz

All of us know that developing a fitness that works for your own individual needs can sometimes be an overwhelming task. However, when you break down the components of a fitness plan you’ll be able to start slowly and come up with a fitness plan that works for you.

One of the first things that you need to do is determine where you are with your fitness level. If you’ve been inactive for a long period of time you’re not going to be able to jump into a fitness plan that is too strenuous and tiring. You’ll need to start off slowly, perhaps by doing some walking for 30 minutes each day.

You should take some time to book an appointment with your doctor so that you have a complete checkup before you start on a fitness plan. If you’ve been moderately active you can incorporate other fitness activities into your daily routine. Try biking, swimming, hiking, lifting weights, or yoga. The list is endless when it comes to increasing your physical activity.

Another part of your fitness plan is paying attention to what you eat. Make changes to your diet so that you’re consuming the amount of calories that your body needs while at the same time getting the vitamins and nutrition that is recommended. Reduce the amount of sugars and refined flours that you eat. Trim the fat from the meats that you eat and choose leaner cuts.

You can substitute chicken or fish for meat at least a couple of times a week. If you smoke you should take the necessary steps to quitting. Talk to your doctor so that you get the help that you need to succeed. Don’t try to do everything overnight since studies show that permanent lifestyle changes take time. Make small changes in your physical activity and your diet, and you’ll soon be on your way to a fitness plan that meets your lifestyle.
