Head of FIA Cyber Crime Zone Sindh, Imran Riaz recently made an appearance in the morning show “Morning At Home” hosted by Nadia Khan. The basic purpose of the show was to educate people about Cyber Crime and how it can be avoided. Imran Riaz in-depth shared the ways through which a complaint can be lodged in the cybercrime wing.
“There are four ways through which we can be approached. First of all, you can approach us through our website http://complaint.fia.gov.pk/ or you can approach us through Email which is [email protected] then you can call us on the number which is 1991 to report a crime, and fourth is you can walk in as well.

They do the processing there and forwards the complaints to the relevant cities. The best approach is to walk into the office.
Good housekeeping habits not only keep our house clean but also welcoming. Here’s a list of bad housekeeping habits you need to let go of to keep the good ones intact:
Don’t pile up clean laundry here and there
After your clothes are out of the washing machine and dried, make sure to fold them immediately or hang them in their designated spots. Don’t leave them lying around here or there as a growing pile of clothes in the corner will only make your room look messy and unkempt.Make this a habit as it won’t take much time and your closet will remain organized.
Don’t leave your bed messy in the morning
Make it a habit to do your bed once you’ve awake. Not only does a messy bed look unwelcoming but it might need changing as well. It is really important to wash your bed sheets, pillow covers, quilt covers every now and then so they are fresh and new. Fresh bed covers also help you sleep better.
Don’t use dirty cleaning tools/appliances
For sure cleaning tools are used to clean other surfaces and objects around the house but it is as important to wash them as well. A dirty cloth will only attract more bacteria rather than picking up dust.
Make sure to also give your washing machine and vacuum cleaners attention in this regard. While washing machines can be cleaned with hot water and vinegar, vacuum cleaner bags need to be emptied out every now and then.
Don’t create a mess in your drawers
Mostly people forget cleaning out their drawers because they simply think if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Try and empty out your drawers every now and then and throw things which you won’t need.
Don’t forget to empty and clean your fridgeand food cabinets
Mostly people buy food items and forget about it. In this way, they stay in the food cabinets and the fridge while getting spoilt and rotten. Don’t be that person! This will only accumulate fungus on the food and smell bad. Repeat this process every two weeks so you can make a habit out of this.
Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink
Make it a habit to wash dirty dishes once you’re done eating in them. Some pots and pans need to be soaked for longer to get the grease and oil off them. A dirty sink will only attract bacteria, insects and bugs. So make it a habit as it is much more easier to wash lesser dishes than washing a huge pile of them afterwards.
Clean while you cook
They say a good cook is one who keeps his cooking area clean while s/he cooks. While your delicious meal cooks on the stove, make sure to wash a few dishes in the meantime. In the end when you’re tired and done with cooking, you won’t be welcomed with a huge pile of dishes and utensils thus leaving you time to enjoy your meal.
Staying organized can make your life way way easier. It helps save time, and get things done quicker than usual. One such place that needs to stay organized in your household is your closet. Maintaining an organized closet is ongoing process from time to time. Here’s a guide that can help you keep your closet neat, tidy and organized:
Rearrange your clothes by season
Make space in your closet by rearranging it at the beginning of winter and summer season. It makes your closet look neat and makes a lot of space in your cupboard for other items as well. You don’t need warm clothes such as sweaters or boots in the summer, and you won’t ever wear shorts or sleeveless clothes during the winter. Instead take a duffel bag or suitcase and neatly pack your clothes and shoes in that, when the other season comes, you can easily switch this way.
Color code clothes by hanging or folding them neatly
Don’t stuff your clothes in one place, color code them by hanging in your cupboard or fold them neatly. When you color code, you won’t have to rummage through your stuff frantically looking for a certain item. You’ll know exactly that it is in a designated spot and finding it would be much easier.
Put your favorite items in the front
If there are a few pieces which you absolutely love wearing again and again, place them in the front of the cupboard while the least favorite or seldom wear ones go at the back.
Buy trouser and scarf hangers or hooks
Trouser and scarf hangers help create space in your cupboard. Investing in these mean you’ll have extra space in your cupboard and all your trousers and scarves can be in one place rather than all over the cupboard.
Declutter your closet
Stop holding onto pieces just because there are memories attached to it or you simply can’t let go. Learn the art of sacrificing and start giving to charity and make others happy as well. You can always go out and buy new stuff, while there are so many others who can’t afford this luxury of spending all the time.
Buy storage boxes and drawer dividers
Put your makeup, undergarments, belts and socks in storage boxes and mark them accordingly. This way you’ll remember what items are kept where. You can easily pull out the boxes and get your items. Another great hack are drawer dividers. These keep your items secured in sections and look extremely neat and organized.
Invest in a shoe rack
Investing in a shoe rack will make your life ten times more simpler than before. This is because you’ll have your shoes neatly stacked instead of being piled up on one another. You can even place them the way you want to, heels at the top, then flip flops, then sandals and so on. Any other pairs of shoes that you won’t be wearing can go in shoe boxes.
A beautiful space can bring you great joy, but if your home feels like it’s full of bad vibes, then it’s time to banish that negative energy once and for all and increase positivity in the household. Here’s a few ways to welcome positive vibes in your home:
Remove your shoes while inside the house
Try and leave your shoes at the entrance of your house as footwear collects negative energy. A therapeutic technique known as Grounding or Earthing allows one to reconnect with earth while walking barefoot inside or outside. Grounding reduces muscle pain and damage, stress and even depression. In this technique, all your negative energy inside your body is absorbed by earth and substituted by positive energy.
Allow fresh air in the house
Open all windows in the house and allow fresh air and sunshine to enter the house. Free flowing air and sunshine are excellent negativity removers. Natural fresh air means you can save up on electricity bills too. Opening windows and doors also allows sunlight in the house which is a great source of Vitamin D and boosts energy and mood. Keeping the windows closed prevent positive energy from coming inside your house and negative energy from going out.
Clean your house thoroughly
Clutter is a negativity magnet. Clean your house every now and then and dispose off all the old unwanted things. Clutter and mess attracts and accumulates negative energy in the house. Do not hold onto any broken or unwanted stuff which does not bring you joy anymore. Let go of the sadness and welcome happiness in your life.
Burn incense around the house
Incense is a biotic material that releases a fragrant smell when it is burned. It is used mainly for therapy, meditation, etc. Incense attracts positive energies as it creates a calm and serene environment.
Keep potted plants around the house
Potted plants or trees around your house or on the balcony can also ensure more positive energy in the house and outside areas. Plants absorb harmful toxins in the environment, they bring peace and tranquility in your household, help you sleep better and most importantly bring luck and prosperity in the home.
Use rock salt as an ingredient for removing negative energies
Rock salt is a useful ingredient to remove negative energy around the house.It can cleanse, heal and balance energy, while repelling negative vibrations. Wash or mop your floor with a fistful rock salt in a bucket of water. This ensures that every nook and corner of the house is rid of negative energy.
Have a bath in rock salt once in a while helps removes negative energies attached to your body. You only need about one cup of rock or sea salt for bathing purposes. Even if you keep your feet in hot water or take a tub bath with some aromatic oil (along with salt) added to it then also you will feel recharged and fresh.
Try and spend more time outside
Try and spend more time outside in the open air. Take walks in the garden or open ground as this will help you re-energize and recharge your body. Spending time in nature also boosts brain energy, makes one productive and creative, improves immune system and definitely makes one happier.
Avoid negative thoughts, speech and actions
Be kind and welcoming to others through your way of speaking and actions. Being negative will only bring negative vibes in the household.
Everyone gets hurt but there are certain wounds that do not heal quickly. These wounds can result from your earliest relationships as a child. They can even be an outcome of the relationships you had as an adult. Irrespective of what caused these wounds, it is really important to heal from them in order to have healthy relationships. Many people cannot have healthy relationships because they find it really difficult to heal from what hurt them in the past. Some people are not even aware of how these old wounds are affecting their present relationships.
If old habits are hard to break then old wounds are even harder to heal. The good news however is that healing these wounds is in your own hands. You might think that you will never heal from these wounds but that is not true. Many people are living content and fulfilled lives even after being hurt and wounded by those people who were closest to them.
Here are some tips to heal from old wounds so that you can enjoy your present relationships.
[lwptoc]
Accept The Past
The first step towards changing the present is to accept the past. Do not run away from your wounds, think clearly about everything you have been through in the past, and accept whatever happened. Sometimes in an attempt to move on, humans tend to be in denial. The unpleasant memories are stored away from the conscious mind even though they are constantly affecting our present life with the subconscious mind keeping us in fear and distress. The only way to heal from past wounds is to accept that they exist.
Give Yourself Time
Do not expect too much in little time. If the wounds are old and deep, they will take time healing. Have realistic expectations and take one day at a time. Understand that this might be a long journey but once you are completely healed it will be worth the effort and time you invested in it.
Self-Analysis at Every Step
It is really important to analyze your reactions and responses when dealing with people. You will have to continuously question those reactions which might be extreme. You have to ask yourself why you are reacting this way and what can you do to change. While analyzing your own actions and feelings, don’t be judgmental.
Love Yourself
Loving yourself despite all the hurt other people or someone, in particular, put you through is really important. While you are analyzing yourself at all times, make sure that there is no self-blame involved. If you start feeling sorry for yourself because of what other people put you through, you are adding to the damage. No one is perfect and nobody has a perfect life, everyone is flawed in their own way. Learn to love yourself because if you don’t love yourself you will never be able to make someone else accept and love you for who you are. Your first and foremost commitment is with yourself, everything and everyone else in your life is an extension of you.
Take Control
You are in charge of your life; you are the only one who can help yourself heal completely. No matter how someone has wounded you, if you decide to take charge and change how you react to whatever has happened to you in the past will transform your life completely. If you are hurting in a relationship, take control, and stop that person from hurting you further. Whether the hurt is a thing of the past or the present, taking control of your life will change everything. Believe in yourself more than you do in anyone else. This will give you the confidence to make things better for yourself and you will not look at others for validation.
Don’t Hide Your Feelings
When you enter into a new relationship while you haven’t healed from your past wounds, you might feel the need to constantly hide your feelings. You do not want to come across as needy or overly sensitive because you are already healing from what hurts you. Stop doing this and be strong enough to share your true feelings with your partner. Your partner might be able to assist you in this healing process if you do so. If you keep on hiding your actual feelings then your partner will be clueless and might end up hurting you even more unknowingly.
Be More Forgiving
Forgive yourself when you make a mistake while in a relationship and while analyzing your past. Most importantly forgive your partner you are currently in a relationship with. When we are wounded from our past experiences, it is difficult to forgive, and sometimes we expect more from others. Break the pattern by being more forgiving and accommodating.
Conscious Responses
You will definitely be in relationships while you are on your healing journey. When faced with a situation that triggers you mainly due to your old wounds do not react instantly. This will require great strength and determination but this is really important so that you can have healthier relationships. When faced with such a situation react only after consciously thinking everything through.
Don’t Let Your Fears Take Over
When practicing all of this make sure that you never let your fear take over. When we let our fears take over, our body has a flight or fight reaction which will result in making the situation even more complicated. When there are wounds from past relationships, giving in to fear can be difficult but this is a battle you can win if you practice every single day and eventually perfect the art of healing.
Therapy & Mindfulness
Therapy can help you figure out where these wounds come from if you cannot figure that out on your own. Sometimes relationship wounds start so early on in our lives that we do not even recognize the fact that these wounds could be so deep-rooted in your past. Practicing mindfulness also helps to heal from past wounds, it also makes the quality of life and relationships better.
Whatever you are going through right now will heal if you want the status quo to change. You are in control, take charge, and do not let other people define your life.
Nowadays people do not value there relationships. Breakups and conflicts are becoming a trend in Pakistan and also in other countries. Many of my friends face problems in there relationships. There are many causes for this; the difference in mind sets, a busy routine, lack of understanding and a lot more. Every couple has their own problems and their own ways to solve the problems. In this article I will highlight some of the ways through which a relationship can be made healthy, happy and long lasting. This article is for people who are having a commitment and also for those who are looking forward to be committed in the upcoming years.
In a relationship it is necessary that you must know what you and your partner want for yourself and from the relationship. In easy terms if the girl wants trust and care from the relationship she must tell the boy before getting into a relationship and if the boy wants space and fun then he must also tell the girl before they take any step forward. In this way both of the people will be careful and they will give what each of them demands which will result in a lesser number of conflicts. Apart from this each of the people in a couple must know that not everyone is perfect and that not all needs are fulfilled. There will be times when your partner will not fulfill your need because of some problem then you must be able to understand him or her. A person only gets to know the feelings of the other person when he sees himself in the shoes of the other person. This is why for a relationship it is necessary to understand the needs of each other.
Both of the people must be ready to compromise on things to save the relationship. If you know that your partner does not like your late night socializing, then you must have the courage to stop or minimize late night socializing for the sake of your partner’s happiness. In this way he will also give up things for you. A relationship is not only about one sided compromise or sacrifice, it is about two sided compromise. Both of the partners must learn to be happy in other’s happiness only then they will have a perfect and happy relationship. Moreover you must work hard to accept the differences between you and your partner. The same is for him or her as well. Do not demand from him to change to meet your requirements because love is unconditional and you must love him the way he is. Changing him will only make him uncomfortable so it is important to stay happy with the differences of opinion. Remember that opposites attract.
Do not agree with one another all the time but do not be rude enough to criticize your partner again and again. Respect his opinions, views and thoughts and try to interlink you own thoughts with his thoughts. More criticizing and interrupting habit will make you look like a teacher which is not suitable. You must learn to be your partner’s friend and then try to solve problems between both of you. Seeking professional help or involving the third party between your personal problems is not a good idea. It just increases the conflict. Try to solve your problems yourself and do not show to others that you had a fight. Trust is a basic brick of every relationship. Try to trust your partner. You must be confident enough that your partner is all yours otherwise people will take advantage of your habit of not trusting your partner. It will be better if you do not give any other person a chance to create problems in your relationship.
No matter how many years have passed and no matter how old your relationship is, do not forget to compliment your partner. Adopt ways to appreciate him and show him that your love for him has grown in these years. Same goes for men as well, they must also learn to propose there wives very often. This creates a happy feeling and kind of refreshes a relationship. Simple lines like I love you and I trust you or I am always there for you can create a magic in your relationship. Taking her out for dinner and giving her flowers can brighten up her life and she will get a positive energy to love you once again. Adopting these little ways can make your relationship a healthy, happy and a long lasting one. Give your suggestions below as they are appreciated.
If you’re someone who has thin and coarse hair and are constantly looking for ways to get thicker, volumized and lustrous locks, you have landed in the perfect spot. Here are several ways you can get bouncier, healthier hair:
Pick a volumizing/thickening shampoo and conditioner
Make sure to pick the right shampoo for your hair. Look for shampoos or conditioners with labels which read thickening, volumizing or bounce on their bottles.
Condition your hair before shampoo. This is because if you condition it after you have shampoo-ed your hair, it will weigh down the hair and make it slick and straight. So conditioning should be done before you shampoo your hair for thicker, volumized and bouncier locks.
Get a haircut which adds volume
Although it is said longer and thicker hair is desirable but it is pertinent to know what type of haircut to get which will add volume. If you want to keep your hair longer, it is advisable to get layers. Layers give an illusion of extra volume in the hair. On the other hand, if you want shorter hair, get a long bob or a bob cut. Both these hairstyles not only make one look younger but also add texture to the hair.
Use a dry shampoo
Dry shampoo can give instant boost of volume to your locks making them look healthier and rejuvanized. Dry shampoo contains powders like starches and minerals to increase the friction between strands and absorb oils which creates volume in the hair.
Use hair extensions
Hair extensions are an effective way to make your hair look thicker, healthier and volumized. Although they do cost an arm and leg, but thats just a one time investment for them. It is tricky applying hair extensions yourself, so try to get a hairstylist to do the job for you.
Minimize the use of heat styling
Heat styling contributes to damaging hair to a large extent. Although done occassionally, it does not contribute to much damage. When styling your hair using straightners, blow drys or curlers, make sure to use heat protectant sprays or serums so as not to damage your hair. These sprays and serums also help make your hair bouncier and healthier.
Get highlights done in your hair
Highlights add depth and volume to your hair instantly making them come alive. It gives hair dimension and the illusion of fuller locks instead of single flat toned hair. Add a few foils in your hair to give them the sass, oomph and panache they deserve.
Try teasing your hair
If your locks tend to fall flat at the roots, try teasing them a little to give the appearance of volume. After you are done teasing or back combing them, gently brush over them to blend in with the hair. Use a small tail comb for this purpose.
Take supplements for your hair
There are vitamins and supplements out there which work well for hair growth. Visit a dermatologist so they can prescribe the best supplements for your hair growth and texture.

Here is how you can lead a better life by working on your mental health.
[lwptoc]
Wake Up With a Positive Mind
The fact is that most of us do not wake up happy unless we have to catch an early morning flight to go on a dream vacation! So many people say that they are not a ‘morning person’. This is where the change needs to start. We all have to wake up in the morning and start our day whether we like it or not so why not start it with a positive mind? Positive thinking does not come naturally, it comes with practice. Start practicing today by making sure that no matter what lies ahead, you can and you must take control and stop all the negative talk in your mind and replace it with a positive thought. Embrace the reason why you wake up in the morning whether it is housework, a job, or your baby crying – you can go ahead with your day thinking ‘oh I don’t want to do this’ or ‘I can do this and I will do this to the best of my ability.’ The way you start your day will set the tone for everything that ensues.
Don’t Be Afraid of Challenges
You may wake up with a positive mind, ready to slay the day but a challenge or something unexpected could happen that might catch you off guard. This challenge can only affect your mental well-being adversely if you choose to be fearful of it. Our mind is designed to be fearful because it is supposed to save us from what might harm us in any way therefore we need to constantly train our mind not to be fearful of every single situation which is out of the ordinary. Take charge instantly, tell yourself that you can handle this and once you do handle it, you will feel more empowered than ever before. Challenges can be a source of empowerment when we refuse to be fearful of them. They become a source of strength when we decide to overcome them. Believing that you have the capability to do so is really important. All you have to do is to keep on reminding yourself that no challenge is too big if you decide to overcome it. Most of our anxiety comes from being afraid of these challenges, once you embrace them; they are no longer a threat.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Once you have the strength to face everyday challenges, it is really important to challenge yourself consciously. Step out of your comfort zone every now and then, try doing something you are fearful of and appreciate yourself when you manage to succeed. Stepping out of your comfort zone can mean something as small as going out in public and meeting people or it could be a life-changing decision such as filing for a divorce or pursuing higher studies. Challenge yourself continuously in order to keep your mind sharp; do not live life in comfort zones. Such challenges will make your life more meaningful as well.
Be Aware of Self-Talk
Most of us are really conscious and careful while talking to other people. We make sure we do not belittle others and are respectful. This is one of the first lessons everyone is taught, it is so important to be polite and well-mannered. No one ever teaches us to be polite to ourselves. No one ever tells us to be aware of how we talk to ourselves. Every human on this planet has an internal dialogue going on within them yet no one is ever taught as a child to make that dialogue polite and meaningful! While we are busy pleasing people and being politically correct, we are not focused enough on our internal dialogue. Our self-talk can often harm ourselves more than anything anyone says. How you talk to yourself affects you more than anything else anyone else would ever say or do. You can be your biggest motivator or you could be your bitterest bully. That is a conscious choice you make every day. Every time your subconscious mind tells you that you are incapable or not good enough, prove it wrong. Practice thinking positive thoughts and making these thoughts the tool to achieve goals.
Tackling negative self-talk might be a constant struggle for many people. It is therefore highly important to keep changing the narrative in your mind. The kind of self-talk going on inside your mind will determine how you react to a situation and how quickly you bounce back. Positive self-talk will boost your confidence, help you cope with stressful situations, and will keep you motivated constantly.
Focus On Solutions, Not The Problem
Mental strength comes from looking for solutions instead of focusing on the problem. Every time you are faced with a problem, the only way out of it is to focus on the solution. If you keep on concentrating on the problem, it will appear to be bigger than it actually is. A problematic situation will not resolve itself; if it is left unattended it will only intensify. Be a fighter and not an escapist. The Second you are faced with a problematic situation instead of feeling sorry for yourself and thinking about how this could impact you adversely, swing into action, and start working toward finding solutions. There are many different ways in which people can look for solutions. If we condition our minds to focus on the solution, every time we are faced with a problem, we will automatically be more ready to face problems and be strong mentally.
Meditation & Exercise
There are many different ways to meditate and all of them help regain energy and get rid of stressful thoughts. Meditation relaxes the mind and gives it the energy needed to deal with stressful situations. Meditation exercises also help people increase self-awareness, focusing on the present situation, increasing tolerance, and reducing anxiety. It is a way to organize all the jumbled up thoughts in your mind and moving towards action with a more focused mind. Meditation is also a step towards mindfulness, it gives us the opportunity to sit back and observe our own life from a distance. Life is busy and chaotic for most of us, there are hardly any times when we get to sit down and sort things out in our own mind. We are constantly in action therefore it is always needed to pause and be present in the moment. Mindfulness helps us look at our own life objectively and detangle our thoughts.
Physical exercise also has a lot of neurological benefits as well. It does not only help people stay fit physically but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Exercise also improves mental health and memory. The way exercise helps our mental well-being is pure science therefore if you want to be mentally strong you need to take up some kind of exercise even if it is a walking routine, especially during the day.
Stop Expecting Too Much From Others
There are so many times when the root cause of our anxiety and depression are expectations from other people. Most of us are constantly looking for validation from others. First of all, we need to stop looking for validation outside ourselves. When we stop doing that, our actions will be directed towards driving self-pleasure instead of pleasing others. When we expect too much from others, very often we try really hard to win their approval. Similarly, we are constantly expecting people to act a certain way, to say certain things, and when they do not do that we are disappointed and feel hurt. In order to stop expecting too much from others, we need to understand their situations, be optimistic, and finding joy within your own self. Do not hand over your happiness to someone else and don’t let other people determine where you stand in life. If you stop expecting, everything someone does for you is a bonus.
Surround Yourself With Uplifting People
While it is really important to not rely on others to make you happy, it is equally important to choose the people you spend time with intelligently. No one can live a secluded life; all of us need a human connection no matter how self-sufficient we are. The good news is that it is entirely in our control who we choose to surround ourselves with. Choosing your company wisely is just as important as not expecting too much from people. When you surround yourself with people who are uplifting and are achievers, they give you the inspiration you need from the outside world. It is equally important to stay away from people who put you down.
Set Priorities & Boundaries
In order to be strong mentally and emotionally setting priorities is a must. If you do not set priorities and boundaries you are walking on a path with your eyes closed. If you do not have a set goal then you can’t be sure where you are headed and where you should be focusing your energy. All of us are constantly balancing different aspects of life; work, relationships, finances, pleasure, and personal growth. Most of us do not really sit down to determine which aspect of our lives will get more attention than others although determining this is extremely important. Subconsciously, we are giving priority to some aspect of our lives more than the other, deciding if it needs to be changed could affect your mental health greatly. Creating boundaries in relationships comes hand in hand with balancing work and finances. Those people who cannot set boundaries in relationships often end up being emotionally exhausted. Setting these boundaries will automatically lead to making you stronger mentally and emotionally since you will be the one in charge.
Do What Makes You Happy
Happiness means different things for different people. Deriving happiness out of small things is the best way to stay strong emotionally and mentally. Sometimes we associate happiness with achieving big goals but that makes us frustrated and stuck in a constant struggle more than anything else. Happiness should be derived from everyday activities which could be something as simple as having coffee with a friend, a meaningful conversation over the phone, a morning walk, watching your favorite movie or show, taking your puppy out for a walk, spending quality time with you children and the list is never-ending. The bottom line is do not wait for someone else to make you happy and do not wait for something big to happen in order to make you happy. Find happiness in small things and make sure that every single day you find time for yourself and do something to make you happy. This ‘something’ does not have to require a lot of time either, it can be something that lasts a few minutes but manages to make you happy. Redefine happiness for yourself and make it more accessible.

Emotional distance in a relationship can make two people drift apart even when they are living together. Many couples who live under the same roof feel that they are not connected emotionally the way they once were. There can be many reasons for this emotional distance and fixing this problem depends on what this reason is. It is really important for couples to work on fixing this problem because otherwise, they will feel lonely and unhappy even when they have a partner who loves them. This feeling might be present on both sides or sometimes one of the partners might feel that the emotional connection between them is no longer as strong as before. This is a difficult period for both the partners but staying strong and not giving up is the key to a lasting relationship.
If you and your partner are drifting apart emotionally then here are some ways you can fix the problem.
[lwptoc]
Communication Is The Key
If you feel that your partner is no longer emotionally available, talk to them instantly. Most of the time people ignore this feeling until it is replaced by resentment because they feel that their partner is ignoring them. At other times, people are unsure; they feel that perhaps they are being overly sensitive. Do not keep on questioning how you are feeling but recognize the problem and talk about it. You never know your partner might be feeling the same way but is holding back. Sometimes healthy communication is the first step towards resolving problems.
Make a List of The Reasons
After you have a conversation with your partner, make a list of the possible reasons for this emotional distance. It could be that your partner is under stress, is too busy or he/she is simply in need of alone time. Sometimes people need some space and want to be alone. If your partner wants to be alone for some time, respect their decision, and don’t feel bad about them wanting some space.
Think Less, Act More
Most of the time in such situations people think a little more than is necessary. Once you have figured out what the possible reasons can be for the emotional distance start acting on a plan to bridge this distance. You know your partner better than anyone else, instead of worrying about your relationship do what needs to be done. This will keep you motivated and busy. If your partner needs alone time then you should also plan something which will keep you busy.
Give It Time
Many couples who have been together for a long experience of emotional distancing. The majority of the couples manage to bridge the emotional distance with time. Don’t expect a quick fix, sometimes time can change things dramatically in a good way. Many couples say that such emotional distancing is most often just a passing phase in a relationship. You should know that this is the situation is only temporary.
Avoid Negative Thinking
When there is an emotional distance in a relationship, it is really common for the partners to think negative thoughts. Thoughts such as, “he doesn’t love me anymore”, “he might be interested in someone else”, “she does not find me attractive” are common in couples who are facing this issue. Whenever such thoughts come to your mind, think of all the reasons why you might think your partner still loves you.
Date Nights
Date nights once a week are a great way to bridge the emotional gap in a relationship. If you feel that your partner or you are too busy during the week then take the time out for a date night when you are available for each other emotionally. It is even better if the conversation revolves around how you feel during the week instead of what you have been doing.
Get Creative
Sometimes small gestures and surprises which might not even require a lot of effort make the other person feel special. Getting creative to get close to a distant partner can go a long way. Even if your partner is not making an effort, try doing so yourself.
Active Listening
Sometimes people become emotionally distant because they want to be heard but are not willing to listen. Is your partner not sharing things with you because you were never an active listener? If that is the case then listen to whatever they have to share with interest even if you don’t find it interesting enough.
Express Your Love Differently
Your partner might want you to express your love for them differently. While your idea of a great evening might be a candlelight dinner, it could mean something entirely different for your partner. Find out how your partner would like you to express your love for him/her and do whatever appeals to them the most. It can be something that doesn’t appeal to you but could work wonders for your relationship.
Get Professional Help
Even after trying to reach to your partner and doing everything suggested in this post, you feel that your partner is still emotionally distant, seek professional help. A good counselor or therapist can help you two figure out the reasons for the distance and also give you great tips to bridge it. Sometimes we overlook things that only a professional would notice after a session. Getting such help is always a step in the right direction and it can save your relationship.
Don’t give up on your relationship because relationships require conscious effort. You are not the only one going through this phase and if your relationship is strong, you will get through it.

Hydrate yourself
You need to have at least eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated properly. Other than that, you can also have fruits with an adequate amount of water content in them. Being hydrated makes us energetic while increasing lean muscles and burning off unnecessary calories in the body. It all helps us stay mentally fresh and focused on our everyday chores.

Ask someone to come along with you so you don’t get bored. You can also include yoga and meditation into your exercise routine which is useful for mental health.
Get body massages regularly
One of the best things you can do for anti aging for your body is getting body massages on a regular basis. Massages can help exfoliate the skin and helps in skin regeneration which promotes youthful glow.
Moisturize and use toner and anti aging creams
Moisturizers prevent our skin from getting too dry and flaky. If your skin gets too dry, look for a moisturizer with higher oil content. If it gets too oily, look for lotions instead of moisturizers. In addition, moisturizers, anti aging creams and toners also help one look youthful while repairing skin and making it healthy.

Tik Tok is a video sharing social networking service or application. From last year Tik Tok got a lot of hype.

Every girl loves to play around with makeup and achieve a flawless makeup look. From creating a clean canvas for your face to work on to getting a smooth base, we all wish to look out of this world. The most attractive feature of our face is most definitely the eyes. Doing the right eyemakeup with proper steps, techniques and tools not only makes the job easier but also helps you achieve an incredible flawless finish. Here are a few tips to help you out with your magical look:
Prep your lid
Just like an artist needs a clean canvas to work on, you need a clean base to apply makeup to. Wash your face thoroughly to remove any dust particles. After drying, apply toner to remove any excess dirt left behind. Let your face absorb toner, and apply moisturizer for a smooth base. After moisturization, prep your lid using a good eyeshadow primer. This helps ensure the eyeshadow stays on longer and makes the colors pop even more.
Choose the right brush
In makeup artistry, using the right brush makes the job much simpler and does wonders to your makeup look. It enhances the pigment of your eyeshadow and makes blending much easier. There are brushes specially designed for different techniques which help you work consistently for achieving your desired magical look.
Blend, blend, blend
The key to an attractive eye makeup is to blend your eyeshadow like a pro. The colors should be seamlessly blended into each other and look like one, not divided by lines. Wear colors that compliment each other, otherwise your whole look can turn into a disaster!
Wear eyeliner
Eyeliner makes your eyes pop out and look bigger. But it is important to wear a wing that suits your eye shape. The wrong shape can make your eyes look smaller and even a little droopy. You should also wear white or nude pencil on your lower water line to further enhance your eyes and make them look bigger. Avoid applying a dark kohl liner on your lower water line as this can make your eyes look smaller. However, you can use a black pencil on your upper water line which will make your lashes appear fuller.
Wearing liner with eyeshadow looks even better as it helps fill any pigments and makes the eyeliner last a lot longer whilst giving a beautiful dramatic look.
Use a good mascara
The right mascara does wonders for your eye look especially if you’re not a regular wearer of false lashes. To give an illusion that you are wearing false lashes (when infact you aren’t), layer different types of mascaras together such as a lengthening mascara and a volumizing one. Simultaneously, you can also use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes upwards and give a feathered out look. The end result is just like that of false lashes.
Highlight your eyes
Adding a touch of highlighter will instantly open up your eye and add a little shimmer. Applying highlighter to your brow bone will lift the brow, and applying a little to the inner corners of your eyes will help open them up. To finish, add a touch to the very center of the lid to make your eyes pop. Voila, your makeup look is complete and good to go!

Climate change is a real issue which needs to be seriously taken before things get worse. From drastic changes in weather patterns to rising sea levels to a thinning of ozone layers, the impacts of climate change are disastrous and dangerous. If we don’t take action today, it could become more and more difficult to adapt in the near future. Here are a few ways you can contribute to helping the environment:
Say no to plastic
Plastic is not only harmful to the environment, causes pollution, kills marine life especially because the waste is thrown in the seas and oceans. It also takes time to decompose which is why it is advisable to stop the use of plastic and switch to Eco friendly material such as biodegradable bags which can be reused over and over again.
Switch to metal straws
Just like reusable bags, reusable metal straws are a good alternative to plastic straws. A metal straw comes with a spoolie type of brush with which you can clean the inside of the straw. It is hygienic as well as you are the only one using it.
Stop wastage of paper
We all know how many trees are chopped off for making paper. Paper is a product we all use and need in our day to day chores of our lives. Use as less paper as you can. Don’t let kids scribble for no reason or while they do their homework, make them use the whole page before moving on to the next one. You should do the same if you’re using paper for writing down errands to run or work use.
Stop wastage of water
Just like paper, water is essential for everyday use. It is used for cleaning, cooking, bathing, drinking, etc. Freshwater is a scarce resource which is not renewable. It is better to conserve it before we run out fast. While brushing our teeth, we should turn off the tap so running water is not wasted. While having a shower, only necessary amount of water should be used. Not only humans but animals and plants also need water so we should be kind and think about them as well.
Stop littering
Garbage that is not dumped in the proper places causes extreme problems to the atmosphere, animals and even our lives. Littering looks unpleasant and has a stench smell while making the area around come across as unkempt. Littering also causes soil, air and water pollution as substances can emit harmful chemicals. Some wastes such as plastic even take time to decompose which is hazardous for the environment as they readily emit toxic chemicals while in the process. Litter also becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes which becomes the root cause for diseases such as dengue, malaria, etc. Alternatively, stray animals can be harmed or killed if they go searching for food in the litter by materials such as glass or bags. If litter is dumped in the seas and oceans, marine life is also prone to harm by accidentally getting entangled in the waste.

When one goes on the trip, they sure don’t want to get sick and spend time just coughing and sneezing. Its better to prevent sick by a few tips which we have here for you:
Avoid tap water
Water is one of the basic necessities of our lives but drinking unfiltered tap water may not suit everyone. If you go on a trip to a foreign country or a different city in your country and see people drinking tap water on a regular basis, well, think twice before following their suit. Since the locals have been drinking it forever, it might suit them but not you. This is because there’s different kinds of bacteria found in water around the world. Bacteria affects the immune system and those who drink unfiltered water daily would be used to it and not affected by it. People who have weak stomachs need to be careful in this regard.
Purchase bottled mineral water from the shops in order to avoid getting sick while travelling overseas or even domestic for that matter. Moreover, also be vigilant of using glasses sitting in your hotel room, especially if they aren’t properly wrapped or at least covered. It’s always better to be on the safe side and wash glasses and cups before using them as bacteria is easily transfered. Similarly, eating fruits and raw vegetables washed in tap water is also a big no.
Carry medicines with you
While you’re travelling you should carry basic medicines with you such as those for headaches, cramps or fever. You never know when you would get sick.
Additionally get shots for any diseases you might be prone to during the season such as malaria, etc.
Stay hydrated during your trip
Dehydration can affect your mood, memory and motor skills, it can also lead to a severe case of sweating, diarrhoea and vomiting as your body needs water to maintain its temperature.
Many people avoid drink too much fluid for the fear of using public restrooms (another bacteria prone area). Staying hydrated helps our body to function properly and prevents sickness. While on a trip, one should opt for water, fresh juices or milk based drinks such as shakes, etc. Soft drinks and caffeine such as coffees and teas are not an ideal source of hydration to the body. One should also not be in direct sunlight too much as it can cause several problems and dehydration. Always carry a water bottle by your side during your trip to prevent illness while travelling.
Avoid eating food at unhygienic places
If you go to eat at a restaurant and it’s deserted, you’d know the food won’t be worth it. Furthermore, by looking around at the cleanliness levels , you would be easily able to tell if you should be eating there or not. Food poisoning is a common illness when one travels abroad so be extra vigilant during your vacation.
Carry hand sanitizers
Carry a hand sanitizer and anti bacterial wipes with you on your trip as they are able to eliminate a good percentage of germs. You never know when you touch anything dirty, you would need to sanitize immediately.
There can be many different reasons for wanting a break in a relationship. Young couples nowadays are more aware than ever of relationship dynamics which is why when there is an ongoing conflict in a relationship, many people feel that they need a break. This break is different from a break-up and the reasons for taking the break vary from person to person. Some people are confused about the relationship status therefore they need a break to figure out where the other person stands in their life. At other times, the relationship might be affecting friendships and other relationships which is why you need a break from your partner so that you can give other people in your life more time. At other times, the reason for the break can be that you simply need some time alone to figure things out.
When a couple has been together for long and they see each other really often, they need a break more than couples who are not seeing too much of each other. Taking a break can sometimes strengthen a relationship and at other times the two people who are in a relationship might feel that they can actually live without each other. Taking a break sometimes can be an easy decision to make but a difficult one to ask for from your partner when he or she does not feel the need to take a break.

Face-to-Face Conversation
Asking for a break over the phone or in an online conversation can be a step in the wrong direction. Although having this conversation face-to-face can’t be easy for anyone but that is the only way to go about it. When you sit down to talk to your partner make sure your body language is not aggressive and that you make them feel comfortable. When your partner is with you they cannot walk out without listening to your point of view. Decide a private meeting place where you won’t be distracted and will have plenty of time.
Choose The Right Time
No one decides to take a break from a relationship all of a sudden. It is and should be a well-thought-out decision. Therefore, it is really important that you choose the right time to share how you feel with your partner. Do not have this conversation after a fight or during an argument. Do it at a time when there are no ill feelings so that your partner does not feel defensive when you have the conversation.
Positive Mindset
Before asking your partner for a break, make sure you have a conversation with yourself first. Take this decision with a positive mindset, thinking that this will be beneficial for your relationship. If you have such a mindset then your partner will be more understanding of the decision you took. Even if this decision is taken out of anger, the conversation should be initiated with a positive mindset otherwise it will lead to confrontation.
Compliment Your Partner
When you sit down to talk about wanting a break from the relationship make sure you tell your partner why you love them and mention the good qualities they possess. Remember that you are the one who needs a break, your partner might not feel the need for it so they might get hurt by your decision or feel that they are not good enough for you.
Give Your Partner a Chance To Talk
You have already made up your mind but your partner might not have thought about taking a break therefore be patient and listen to what they have to say. A partner who is not ready to take a break might have a lot of questions and might get upset as well, give them a chance to express themselves before you take the conversation forward.
Don’t Be Confrontational
When you make the decision to take a break from a relationship, it is really important to understand that you still want this relationship to work out. Therefore your approach should not be confrontational. A confrontational approach will not get you anywhere and will lead to more problems. Unless you want to break-up do not have a confrontational stance.
Make Them Understand Your Point of View
Make sure you know exactly why you need a break before you ask for one. You will have to be really clear in your mind so that you can convince your partner and make them understand your point of view. Do not have this conversation without thinking it through first.
Lay Down The Rules
Once you have convinced your partner, make sure you lay down the rules. Be honest about how long this break will be and whether you want some degree of communication or none at all. Laying down the rules is really important otherwise this whole conversation will not be fruitful.
Make The Final Decision Together
Make sure that the final decision is not one-sided. Both of you should decide mutually how this break will work and how long it will last. You should have an open mind and respect what your partner has to add. Having an open mind will help avoid conflict.
Part Ways Cordially
This isn’t always possible but you should try to part ways in a warm and friendly manner so that there is no resentment. Wish each other well and be honest if you feel you will miss the other person. You might miss them but not want them around for some time, that is perfectly fine.
Whatever you do, make sure that you have your and your partner’s best interest in mind. All the best!
