What Vitamins Should I Take To Improve My Hair, Skin And Nails? The biggest news recently about beauty, especially hair, skin, and nail health, revolves around the ability of vitamins and minerals to help skin be healthy and young looking. Nutrients, vitamins, and minerals can promote hair growth, healthier looking hair, and help strengthen nails so they don't chip and break. This means not just nutrients found in lotions and creams that go on the skin, but those that are found naturally in the food we eat, and in vitamin and mineral supplements that can be taken to help improve hair, skin, and nails from the inside out.

Vitamin and mineral supplements added to a healthy diet can make such a difference that you don't need to spend a lot of money on a full regimen of skincare products. Fortunately, most of the same things that are good for your skin will also work to give you healthy hair and nails; that makes taking a supplement so much simpler!

Vitamins C and E
As far as your skin goes, both vitamin C and E are very important in stopping the negative effects of too much exposure to the sun, such as wrinkles and ageing. Vitamin E has been shown to decrease sun damage and wrinkles and smooth out the texture of skin. Long term use of both of these vitamins can reduce the chances of getting sunburn and vitamin C can help with collagen formation.

For skin, hair, and nails, both vitamin C and E act as antioxidants. Vitamin E and C improve blood circulation (and nutrient delivery) to the scalp, resulting in healthier hair. C and E taken as a supplement and in a topical lotion can reverse the damage caused by free radicals, and help replace collagen and elastin.

Vitamin C also promotes healthy nails. Hangnails can be caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. You can get vitamin C from leafy green vegetables, citrus (such as a lime, grapefruit and oranges), and cherries. A powder form of supplement is probably the easiest way to digest synthesised vitamin C. Just mix it in with juice.

Vitamin A
If the levels of vitamin A in your body are too low, you may experience things like dry and flaky skin as well as dry scalp. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy skin and repairing damaged skin. There are also vitamin A lotions that can significantly reduce wrinkles, and even help control acne.

Taking a vitamin A supplement (or beta carotene) helps the scalp produce the oils it needs to avoid flakiness and dryness. Pregnant women need to seek advice before taking vitamin A and everyone needs to be careful not to over do it. Too much can be toxic.

Vitamin K
In our bodies, the job of vitamin K is to help with blood clotting. For the skin it works to reduce dark circles under the eyes as well as fade bruising, especially when used as a topical cream. Vitamin K is made by bacteria in the gut so keeping your insides healthy helps with the production of vitamin K. A routine to support the intestines and stomach may be one way to keep your good tummy bugs happy and healthy – and busy producing vitamin K.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)
One of the B vitamins, biotin, may one of the most important supplements you can take for you skin, hair and nails. Biotin (B7) is a nutrient contained the cells of our hair, nails, and skin. When you don't have enough biotin, itchy skin and scalp result as well as hair loss. Try a multi-B supplement that contains biotin and as well as Niacin, B5, B6, and B12, all of which are important for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Minerals for Hair, Skin, and Nails
Like vitamins C and E, the minerals copper, selenium and zinc, can help develop elastin to make skin tighter and smoother. They also have other benefits and are usually included in good multi-vitamin supplements specifically for hair and nails.

Check with Your Doctor
Before you begin taking anything new, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor to make sure that they won't have any negative reactions with any medications you may be taking. The doctor can also advise you on safe dosages to take each day. Be sure to read the label and only take the recommended daily dose.

As complementary therapies are not tested in the same way as pharmaceutical drugs they have varying levels of effectiveness, so try a few different brands till you find a product that works well for you.

KC is one of my fave local celebrity,  aside from being one of the most prettiest face she was also 
appointed by United Nations as the World Food Programme Ambassador in the Philippines.I like her because of her good heart and humble attitude.
Screen Name: KC Concepcion
Nick Name: KC, Kace, Kooks
Real Name: Maria Kristina Cassandra Concepcion
Birth Date: April 7, 1985
Birth Place: Manila, Philippines
Height: 5'5
Hobbies: Shopping Clothes, reading books, cooking
KC Concepcion has inherited both halves of her family legacy and keeps the flame burning bright with her talent and knack for powerful theatrics and acting. KC as she is popularly known was born Maria Kristina Cassandra Concepcion. KC’s name is a strange mix of her mother’s love for the name Kristina and her father’s love for the movie "Cassandra Crossing". The uniquely distinct name personifies a unique woman who emanates power and passion through her acting.




All throughout her young life, although she hasn't been officially counted as an artist, KC Concepcion has always been loved by the media and many of her parents' fans. She has made few uncredited appearances during her mother's concerts and television shows but it was not until in early 2003 when K.C. explored the world of advertising, becoming the spokesperson of major products in the country. She became one of the most sought after commercial endorsers both in television and print ads. On that same year, ABS-CBN Network televised what would be K.C.'s introduction to the society as a young lady, celebrating her 18th birthday which became the highest rated TV special that season.
People were anticipating for her grand entrance to the world that her parents were once loved but instead of accepting multiple movie and television deals, K.C. flew to France in 2003 to start her college life, taking up International Corporate Communications with a minor in Theatre Arts at the prestigious American University of Paris. In 2007, four years later, K.C. was joined by her mother, Sharon, her stepfather, politician Francisco Pangilinan, and younger sisters, Frankie and Miel (her mother's daughters with Pangilinan) as she marched for her college graduation.

Today, KC is a different woman altogether. A dynamite and a powerhouse of talent, KC is driven by the passion to achieve success and to soar high in sky like an eagle. Today, she is a singer, VJ, model, actor all rolled in one; a multi-talented persona that matures as each day goes by and shows something new to the thousands of fans who swear by her name.
Soon, she will start  her own new talk show titled "Simple at Totoo KC " i don't know if that's the exact title but looking forward to launch her  talk show in the next few weeks or months from now.


She's beautiful inside in out, isn't it? i wish that i look like her haha "dream on"

Cleansing Your Face Is Not All You Have To Do To Keep A Healthy Face

I know you are also curious like me about the importance of washing your face on a daily basis, and the how to's of washing your face the right way but that is not all you should be doing. A face moisturizer is also a necessity when treating your face daily. Not only does your face, and actually the skin on your whole body, need to be cleansed of the dirt and bacteria that could be harmful but it also needs to keep hydrate to look its best. This is why I say to make sure you use a face moisturizer as well as a facial cleanser.

Now that we have the reasoning behind adding another product to our daily cleansing routine, it is time to find the best face moisturizer available in the market. This does require a little bit of 'need to know' information on your part. What I mean by this statement is knowing your ingredients and what they do for your face when involved in the moisturizer that you have decided is the best face moisturizer. Be careful though because there are a lot of face moisturizers out there that contain certain synthetically made ingredients that, due to their chemical base, with irritate your face or dry your face out even further. 

So, my suggestion will be to look for natural based or organic ingredients that are made from the earth. These types of ingredients work with your skin and not against it.
An example of a great ingredient used in some of the best face moisturizers and the best body moisturizers is called Shea Butter. Shea Butter comes from the Karite nut tree that is based out of Africa and has been used for centuries. Being of a very thick nature, Shea Butter is like an extra layer of protection added to your skin which is very useful, especially in a face moisturizer. This is because our face goes against some of the toughest climates and environmental factors on a daily basis. Shea butter, being one of the most moisturizing ingredients available, also has a healing and regenerating quality that is like an added bonus. 

Try to do your research and talk to your friends and family, they will give you great advice on what to do. Just remember that to make sure to get the best results out of your daily facial routine, a face moisturizer is need and the best face moisturizer is preferred.

Thanks for reading, 
peace and love,love love to everyone.

Thank you, Mama, for teaching me about compassion and caring for other people; thank you for reminding me that even though we may have it bad at times  of difficulties, there are always others who have it so far worse; and they are the ones who need our help and our prayers!

I wish that God give me generosity just like hers, she helps the helpless, she never thinks of herself and she's so un-selfish....

Love is the key to happiness and tears

True love never disappears


Love is the most purest and sacred emotion that God has ever created in humans heart. It is beautiful and divine. It has the capacity to mould mountains into small lumps of sand, oceans into rivulets, and finite into infinite. It is a guiding force, which enlightens our entity and illuminates our souls. True love is indeed difficult to find, but when it is found it goes far beyond the limited boundaries of microcosmic existence.


When love is in the air, lovers jump over the treacherous dungeons of space and time. It fills them with so much vitality and vigor that they can do anything and everything for each other. When all the other aspects in this world tend to cease, it is true love that never dies. It is often said that love is blind and can go to any limit. 

When the partners are together, holding hands in hands, hugging tighter and closer, then the happiness and bliss is almost indescribable. These cozy moments can only be felt, as mere words are not enough to rate them. However, not every lucky person is that lucky to experience this closeness. Many singles cannot meet or stay together due to geographical hindrances or some or the other life crises.


But, life does not end here. Today, in the modernized world of fast growing technologies, love can be still in the air. And this has been possible due to online dating services. Because of this facility many people can be in touch with their beloved and moreover many singles can find their soul mates. When life becomes too fast-paced, when theres no time to jot down letters, when telephonic conversations become too boring and cranky, online dating adds vivacity and color to modern-day relationships. It adds meaning and worth to singles, living lives in the midst of pains, psychological trauma, isolation and a lot more.

Benefits:

Online dating has a wide range of beneficial facets. Some of them are:

-Shedding geographical barriers and hence maintaining relationships

-Economic

-Less-time consuming

-Can be used anywhere round the globe and round the clock

-Better platform for manifestation of emotions and feelings

-Privacy can be maintained

-Acts as a good support system

-Helps to curb isolation and trauma

-Gives a clear picture and better mutual understanding of partners involved

-Free from stereotypic attitude and prejudice

-Adds up safety against wrong malicious intentions


Drawbacks:

Cannot be used in remote areas where access to internet is not possible

Through this many people get off their boredom world of inhibitions, isolation, fear and social obligations and enter into a different world of happiness and fulfilling relations. Love in its generic sense never remains restricted to a distinctive race, culture, age, language, etc. In fact it is ever-pervading and ever-lasting. And with the gift of online dating services many isolated and needy are coming out of the hearth of a weary dreary life. So that:

With every click on the net

A beloved partner is born

With his/her presence

Every tear is gone

Do you have any stories and testimonies to share, did you found your better half via online dating site? please share with us so everyone will be inspired that there's still good men on the cyber dating site.


***
and here's also an interesting topic that every girls loves to know after meeting your online dating guy how would you know now if he's really interested in you, based on the survey and most answers that I got thru online forums here's are signs that he's really into You:

-he wants to make you happy
-he always wants to see you
-he spends time with you
-giving extra ordinary attention
-he teases you
-he will  come online even when he's tired, make time to call or text you
-he does things to you which he doesn't do to other girls

but sometimes guys sending mix signals , so girls be wary of this signs sometimes it's hard to predict them follow your instinct and i guess you get the real answer about their intention
