Sex Tips for Virgins on their wedding day

If you'll be a virgin when you get married, you're probably feeling some apprehension about what will happen on your wedding night. Here are tips and advice to help things go smoothly.
How to Communicate BEFORE the wedding night
Pick a quiet moment to ask your soon-to-be-spouse "are you feeling nervous at all about our wedding night?" Odds are, he or she will be relieved to have the opportunity to talk about it. Talk about what your hopes and fears are. If your partner has sexual experience or you want to prevent pregnancy, talking about safer sex is essential. You may want to visit a counselor, or talk about sex during your pre-wedding counseling. If you are too nervous to bring up the subject of sex, consider leaving a magazine open, or even forwarding this article in an email.
How to communicate DURING sex
The most important sex tip for being a great lover is to learn how to communicate in bed. For nervous first timers, it might seem more natural to stay silent; dirty talk can be intimidating. Try saying, "That feels good" or just moaning a little when you like something. Be observant of your partner as well - if they're quiet and still, you might want to try something different. You can ask, "Does that feel good?" or "Can I try..." Most importantly, speak up when something doesn't feel good. Sex can and should give both of you pleasure.
Will she bleed? Will it be painful?
When a woman loses her virginity, it is possible for it to be a little bloody or painful. However, it shouldn't last for too long, and it is almost never very serious. To make things easier, make sure there's plenty of foreplay before you try penetration. You'll also want to have a good lubricant. I recommend a brand called "Slippery Stuff" because it is safe to use with latex, and it's glycerin-free. (Glycerin can cause yeast infections.) Even if you use a lubricated condom, you'll want to use extra lube. And, if you're afraid of bleeding on the hotel sheets, bring a towel with you, or your own sheets.
Will he be able to maintain an erection? What happens if he can't?
The pressure of the wedding night can be too much for many men. If things aren't "working," try to change up the mood. Spend some time kissing, and fondling each other. Perhaps make a game out of how many different body parts you can kiss, or be a little more serious by talking about the wedding, your love for each other, and milestones ahead of you.
Will I be any good? How can I wow my new husband or wife?
Sex, like most things, takes practice. You are likely to be a little clumsy and to feel a little goofy. Take things slowly, and try to listen to your partner. Find out what feels good, and what doesn't. Don't be afraid to ask! But don't concentrate on how mind-blowing (or not!) the physical feelings are. Instead try to be gentle with one another, and focus on how amazing it is to finally be in each other's arms as a married couple.

Having an Oily Skin?.. solutions are here!

With reference to the previous  article which has been talking about the
best way to take care of the face skin, in this article we will follow
the same direction in recognizing one of the very difficult type of the
skins which called the oily skin and how to deal with it ,
Which may cause a lot of embarrassment for the girls and especially in
the adolescence. The resulting problems, particularly acne



Caring for Oily Skin

Oily
skin is caused by over-active glands, which produce too much sebum.
Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands. It is necessary as it helps
lubricate your skin and carries away dead skin cells. When the skin is
oily, too much sebum is being produced. This article tells you:
  • What are the problems faced by people having oily skin?
  • How food intake and oily skin are associated?
  • What causes oily skin?
The right oily skin care
is essential for anyone with oily skin. Oily skin does not look healthy
and is prone to skin problems like acne. It is important that such skin
be given proper treatment for oily skin.

What is oily skin and how is it caused?

Oily
skin is caused by over-active glands, which produce too much sebum.
Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands. It is necessary as it helps
lubricate your skin and carries away dead skin cells. When the skin is
oily, too much sebum is being produced. The skin becomes dull and greasy
and pores may become clogged.

The extra secretion of sebum can
be caused by many factors. Heredity, diet, birth control pills and the
wrong cosmetics can all cause oily skin. Hormonal balances can also
affect the production of sebum, which is why oily skin is often common
in teenagers, pregnant women or women going through menopause.

Problems Faced by People with Oily Skin

People
with oily skin often suffer from skin problems, like blemishes, acnes,
black heads, white heads and pimples. Enlarged and clogged pores may be a
problem. Oily skin often looks dull and shiny. With the right oily skin
treatment, it is possible to treat such problems.

How to have less oily skin

Oily
skin, and the problems it brings, can be minimized. Thorough cleansing
can prevent some of the problems associated with oily skin, as it
removes the dirt and dust and stops the pores becoming clogged. As
make-up can also clog pores, it is important that all make-up is removed
before going to bed. Here are some more tips on how to have less oily
skin.

NATURAL METHODS


Natural oily skin care can be very effective. Food intake, proper
hydration, herbal care and other natural remedies can all help provide
the proper treatment for oily skin.

Food Intake


To improve your oily skin through nutrition, eat plenty of foods that
are rich in protein. Include lots of leafy vegetables and fresh fruit.
Vitamin B2 can help prevent oily skin, so include good sources of B2 by
eating wheat germs, whole grains, beans and nuts.

Cut down on the amount of sugar and fat in your diet, and avoid soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, chocolate and fried food.

Hydration


People sometimes make the mistake that oily skin does not need to be
hydrated, but oil is not moisture. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking
plenty of water. A good moisturizer, that is suited to oily skin, can
also help keep your oily skin hydrated.

Eating Healthy and Losing weight

There you go! 

As promised, I am sharing with you my own diet. Please remember that each person’s body is different. Age, physique, activity levels and so on affect the way diets work for people. So if this diet has worked for me, it may not necessarily work for other people.

You need to check with your doctor or nutritionist before you start this or any other diet and always use your own judgment.  

And finally, please not that I am against diets; I am with a healthy and nutritious lifestyle that goes on forever. Think of this as the way you should start living and not a short term plan. 

Now read the following rules first:

Eat small frequent meals

Eat 6 to 8 times per day which equates to roughly every 2 to 4 hours. It is important to keep a constant influx of nutrients (protein, calories, healthy fats and complex and low-glycemic carbohydrates) in your body to maintain a positive nitrogen balance.
Eat your body weight in grams of proteins

Always strive for 2.5 to 3 grams per kilograms of bodyweight in grams of protein. For example, if you weigh 60 KG then you need to eat 150-180 grams of protein per day. This is spread out between the 6 meals that you eat in a day which comes to an average of 30 grams of protein per meal. 

Carbohydrates are crucial to muscle growth

Do your best to eat 4 to 5 grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of bodyweight, so again if your weight is 60 KG then you need to eat about 240 to 300 grams per day. And usually aim for a slightly lower amount if you want to lose weight. 

Eat enough calories 

It is important to take in 30 to 40 calories per kilograms of bodyweight. Start at the lower number and adjust up or down based on the progress that you are making. If gains are coming well and your body looks to be gaining muscle with a minimal gain in body fat, maintain or even slightly up your caloric intake. If the opposite is occurring, lower the calories until the desired effects are occurring. 
So here’s what a meal should look like:

Meal One - Breakfast: 7 – 8 am: 
Any of the following choices:
  • 2 eggs with little olive oil (add vegetables for a delicious omelet)
  • 2 pieces of toasted bread (multigrain, wholegrain or whole-wheat)
  • Vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion, etc)
OR
  • 2/3 cup of Muesli (or Oats or organic whole-wheat flakes)
  • 2 cups of unsweetened soy milk (or skimmed milk)
  • 1 piece of fruit (orange, apple, etc.)
  • A handful of mixed raw nuts
OR
  • Foul and Hummos (one cup) with olive oil and lemon
  • 2 pieces of toasted bread (multigrain, wholegrain or whole-wheat)
  • Vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion, etc)
Meal Two – Snack 1: 11 am: 
  • 2 slices of sheep Kashkawan with a slice of organic whole-wheat bread , a slice or tomato or cucumber OR
  • 2 tbls. Natural peanut butter with Organic whole-wheat bagel OR
  • 2 Slices of Turkey with multi-grain toast with a slice of tomato and mustard 
Meal Three – Lunch: 2 pm:
  • Protein (Beef, Chicken or Fish) 
  • Mixed Salad (any vegetables) 
  • One cup Brown Rice 
Meal Four – Snack 2: 4 pm: 
  • 1 small apple or any fruit of your choice
Meal Five – Dinner: 7 pm:
    • 2 to 3 cups of mixed salad
    • 6 oz. of sliced chicken breast OR sirloin steak

Best Scrub Around




An amazing body scrub that does wonders and leaves your skin super clean and soft is sugar, lemon & olive oil scrub.




Ingredients: Mix 5 Tbs sugar , 1/4 cup olive oil , 1/2 a lemon and 1ts of grounded cinnamon and rubbing it on your body, you can wash it immediately but leaving it for 1 or 2 minutes is better so that your skin will have enough time to absorb the olive oil.



A great addition to this scrub would be melted cocoa butter (take care it melts very quickly). Cocoa butter leaves skin smooth and is generally very good for healing scars, stretch marks and other skin problems.



Some prefer putting the warm cocoa butter after the scrub and leaving it in. Make sure you only add a little bit, a dollop or so, you don't want to have oil and sticky skin.

NOTE:

1) If you feel that this mask is very strong for your face. Limit using it to your body.

2)If your skin gets reddish take out the cinnamon from the mask.

3) If you have any skin allergies or your skin is very sensitive try this scrub on a small part at first.
