Holidays...

Don’t you just love holidays ?

Holiday is time to re-think about your dreams. Holidays gives you time to try new things and to go on exiting adventures.

When it’s holidays I see things around me :I see smiles, I see laughs, I see nature and I see all the tricks my dog is doing.

A holiday is different and feels different than schooldays. Holidays brings joy into you and your friends. And there are so many places to go and now you can enjoy your holidays anywhere in the world.

So enjoy your holiday and enjoy it to full…!

Colours...

Without colours we would never know when to stop and when to go .

Black is darkness from a tree

White in contrast stands for purity

Yellow makes me feel warm like the rays of the sun

Orange and brown are the leaves of autumn

Grey shows it`s age on the hair of the old

Pink makes a statement loud and bold

Imagine a world without colour so plain

No rainbow to shine brightly after a good rain

Smiling...

 

1. Forcing yourself to smile can boost your mood: Psychologists have found that even if you’re in bad mood, you can instantly lift your spirits by forcing yourself to smile.
2. It boosts your immune system: Smiling really can improve your physical health, too. Your body is more relaxed when you smile, which contributes to good health and a stronger immune system.
3. Smiles are contagious: It’s not just a saying: smiling really is contagious, scientists say. In a study conducted in Sweden, people had difficulty frowning when they looked at other subjects who were smiling, and their muscles twitched into smiles all on their own.
4. Smiles Relieve Stress: Your body immediately releases endorphins when you smile, even when you force it. This sudden change in mood will help you feel better and release stress.
5. It’s easier to smile than to frown: Scientists have discovered that your body has to work harder and use more muscles to frown than it does to smile.
6. It’s a universal sign of happiness: While hand shakes, hugs, and bows all have varying meanings across cultures, smiling is known around the world and in all cultures as a sign of happiness and acceptance.
7. We still smile at work: While we smile less at work than we do at home, 30% of subjects in a research study smiled five to 20 times a day, and 28% smiled over 20 times per day at the office.
8. Smiles use from 5 to 53 facial muscles: Just smiling can require your body to use up to 53 muscles, but some smiles only use 5 muscle movements.
9. Babies are born with the ability to smile: Babies learn a lot of behaviors and sounds from watching the people around them, but scientists believe that all babies are born with the ability, since even blind babies smile.
10. Smiling helps you get promoted: Smiles make a person seem more attractive, sociable and confident, and people who smile more are more likely to get a promotion.
11. Smiles are the most easily recognizable facial expression: People can recognize smiles from up to 300 feet away, making it the most easily recognizable facial expression.
12. Women smile more than men: Generally, women smile more than men, but when they participate in similar work or social roles, they smile the same amount. This finding leads scientists to believe that gender roles are quite flexible. Boy babies, though, dosmile less than girl babies, who also make more eye contact.
13. Smiles are more attractive than makeup: A research study conducted by Orbit Complete discovered that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup.
14. There are 19 different types of smiles: UC-San Francisco researcher identified 19 types of smiles and put them into two categories: polite “social” smiles which engage fewer muscles, and sincere “felt” smiles that use more muscles on both sides of the face.
15. Babies start smiling as newborns: Most doctors believe that real smiles occur when babies are awake at the age of four-to-six weeks, but babies start smiling in their sleep as soon as they’re born.

So go ahead ... smile :) =P ;D

Ian Somerhalder...☺

Ian Somerhalder… known for sinking his teeth into humans on The Vampire Diaries, but off screen he has begun the Ian Somerhalder Foundation that is focused on environmental issues,  from water conservation to battling deforestation and problems of animal overpopulation.

 “I’d just wrapped Vampire Diaries and found out about the oil spill and was so angry. I literally packed everything, grabbed my two pets, rented a car and hauled ass back home to Louisiana.” Ian founded the ISF in December, on his 32nd birthday.

He’s also working on finding sponsors for a nationwide cleanup day that the ISF hopes to stage around Earth Day. Although the global issues Ian has in his sights are overwhelming, he brings an infectious optimism, and realism, to the table.

“You have to pick battles that are small enough to win, yet big enough to matter,” he said. Ian Somerhalder is not only a great actor and performer but also a very down to earth and environmentally friendly guy!

Art...

à   It’s not just a drawing or a painting, it can be anything from make-up to doodles

à   helps you express your feelings

à   the creative side everyone has

à   is part of you

à   comes from your mind and heart

à   pours from the soul

à   makes you feel free and able to do anything

à   helps people relax because it’s about letting your feelings out

You’ll never know what you’re good at until you try. Maybe you can’t draw like Da Vinci, but perhaps you’re better at dancing or singing.

Everyone is able to do something, whether you’ve found it or not. The only way to know is to try everything from poetry to photography. Try something else, even if you think you’ve tried everything. Possibilities of art are endless and once you start you’ll never want to stop.

Let your thoughts come out! Imagination is the key. So pick up a pencil and let your imagination run free, or pick up a pen and let your mind speak to the paper. You’ll be happy you did.
