The incredible Aloe Vera needs no introduction. It has long been called a miracle plant for all the right reasons. Packed with countless healing and soothing properties, aloe has been used in traditional medicines since ancient times. The plant contains powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, which is why it is highly effective for treating inflammation— the root cause of many health problems. Also, it helps to heal small wounds, burns, and cuts, improves digestion, and boosts immunity.  Due to all the amazing benefits, Aloe Vera was called the ‘plant of immortality’ by the ancient Egyptians.
That’s not it – the gel of Aloe Vera plant has been widely used for treating skin related issues as well as for beauty purposes.
The green cactus-like plant that you see growing almost everywhere is the crux of a billion dollar industry, extending from diet supplements and healthy juices to beauty creams, moisturizers, and a lot more.

What Skin Benefits Can Aloe Vera Provide?
The magic of Aloe Vera plant lies in the transparent, gooey gel inside its leaves.  It contains more than 75 different types of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. Here are a few skin benefits that Aloe Vera can provide:

·        It Helps to Treat Skin IssuesIn the field of Ayurvedic medicine, Aloe Vera is widely used to heal chronic skin issues, like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.  The benefits come from the two naturally occurring hormones in the plant’s gel, named Gibberellin and Auxin. They contain powerful anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Furthermore, Gibberellin has been found to help in the skin healing process by stimulating the growth of new cells.
The use Aloe Vera gel for healing small wounds, cuts, burns, and scrapes has been a common practice in many cultures since ancient times. Due to the anti-microbial properties, the gel helps to disinfect the wound, speeding up the healing process. Also, it helps to soothe irritated skin and is highly effective for treating sunburns.
Many experiments conducted to study the healing properties of Aloe Vera showed that the plant’s gel can help patients having first and second-degree burns. It can reduce the pain and also speed up the healing process.
Aloe Vera gel has also been found to be great for treating skin discoloration and blemishes.

·        It Nourishes and Hydrates SkinAloe Vera gel gently exfoliates, rejuvenates, hydrates and nourishes your skin. Rich in vitamin A and E, Aloe Vera gel deeply moisturizes your skin without blocking your pores or leaving any greasiness on your face. It also helps to soothe irritated and dry skin as well as balances the skin’s natural oil production.

·        Aloe Vera Gel has Anti-Aging PropertiesAloe Vera gel contains beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A) and is also rich in vitamin E and C. Because of this, scientists believe that it can help boost the production of collagen. Applying Vera to your skin can also help fight against free radicals. As a result, your skin remains firm, plump, and wrinkle-free.
These are just a few of the countless skin benefits Aloe Vera gel can provide. Due to its wonderful skin benefits, Aloe Vera gel has been used in many skincare products and treatments.

While you can use Aloe Vera gel on its own, it can also do wonders when combined with other powerful ingredients. However, only a trained healthcare professional or aesthetician knows the right combinations (you cannot just mix it with anything). Find a reliable salon or spa in your area to get an Aloe facial or skin treatment. If you are living in Tampa Bay, look nowhere else than SB Health and Beauty Spa.

Your 4 Step Guide To Peace and Happiness
If you want to be more peaceful and happy, there are things you can do to achieve that. No matter your situation in life you can have the feeling and attitude you desire. Here are four steps that you can take in order to find your peace and happiness.

1. Adopt an optimistic attitude
If you're constantly focusing on the negative that's happening in your life, the lives around you, or in the world, it will be difficult for you to be happy. Taking on an optimistic attitude doesn't mean you ignore bad things that happen. It means you don't let them control you or become the focus of your life. If you are able to see the bad in every situation, you have the same ability to see the good. You just have to train yourself to look for positives in every situation. You will be a happier person when you focus on the good side of situations you are faced with. Even the most difficult ordeal has something good to offer.

2. Learn to manage your stress
Life can be stressful, so it's important that you learn how to relax. Taking time for yourself to decompress is a good way to manage your stress. You can meditate, take a bath, or read a book. Exercise is also a good way to de-stress. You don't need to hit the gym in order to exercise. You can exercise at home, go for a walk each evening, or run a few times a week. By managing your stress you will be more at peace no matter what is happening around you.
​

3. Surround yourself with happy people
If the people you hang around with are negative and spend the majority of their time complaining, you will find that your energy and happiness will be drained. You may be used to the people and the attitudes they have, but that doesn't mean it's good for you. If you want to be a happier, more peaceful person, you need to surround yourself with people who are the same. Once you ditch the whiners and complainers, you will feel a sense of relief almost immediately. Toxic people should be removed from your life in order to help you find happiness.

4. Devote time to things you love
Life can become busy, but you should always make time to do things you enjoy. If you are passionate about writing, make time to write. If you love to read, spend more time reading. You may need to re-prioritize the way you spend your time to fit these things in. If you spend three hours watching TV every evening, replace that activity with something you love. No matter how busy your life is there is always an opportunity to spend time with something want to do. Instead of sitting in the doctor's office and texting your friend about what you ate for lunch, pull out your notebook and write or read a few pages of the novel you've been trying to finish.

Being more at peace and happier is possible by changing the way you life your life. The choices you make every day are what will determine if you're happy or not.

Women – they live a perfectly healthy lifestyle and faithfully undergo regular physical activity – but no matter what – genetics kick in or age causes the body’s cellular metabolism to inevitably slow down, resulting in accelerated fat storage. Cellulite is usually the unattractive result of that fat storage, and it unfortunately doesn’t care what part of the body it affects.
Upper arms have always been a concern for women who appreciate and care for their bodies. No matter what age, it’s necessary to stimulate the cells and tissues responsible for keeping the skin youthful and supple. Thanks to good old-fashioned exercise and the creation and development of the machines and varying treatment protocols of Endermologie®, this concern can be successfully addressed.
Because fat accumulates at any location and at any age, no matter a woman’s weight or state of physical fitness, especially around the upper arms, it’s important to use a combination of methods that have had a history of success. Here are a few great tips to help successfully smooth and tone arms.


WORK IT
​The part of the arm usually affected by cellulite or loose skin is the triceps area on the back of the upper arm. Toning the arms, like any other part of the body, takes dedication and work, but the results should be noticeable within a matter of weeks. The key is to stay motivated, to exercise regularly and eat right. Targeting arm muscles using the right exercises will help to shape and tone them.


Perform any favorite workouts at least three times per week. Shapely, sculpted arms are possible – at any age. Doing some faithful exercise tailored to a specific fitness level are a wonderful start. Find and follow a program that works the chest, shoulders, and arms from every angle to tighten and firm the droopiness that can start with age, causing the loss of lean tissue and natural suppleness.


ADD ENDERMOLOGIE BENEFITS
Cellulite is trapped fat that forms under the skin and causes a dimpled appearance. Although there is no cure for it now, one of the most stimulating, yet relaxing procedures you can undergo to reduce it is by starting and following an Endermologie treatment program. Since the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) cleared these non-invasive treatments years ago, the base of faithful clients has grown exponentially.
Going through a program of Endermologie treatments is a wonderful way to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite on the upper arms while toning the skin. As shown in clinical studies*, the deep massage provided by Mecano Stimulation™ stimulates the collagen and underlying tissue to tighten the targeted area. Often a program of treatments is recommended to attain the best results and then further enhance or maintain them.


MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
As with any effort to tone or smooth the skin and underlying tissues, starting or maintaining a healthy diet and staying well hydrated are essential to the overall plan. Reduce the usual daily intake of calories by 250 to 500 calories. Try to cut down or avoid eating empty-calorie and high-sugar foods like desserts, snacks, deep-fried foods, doughnuts and refined white flour products. Start eating foods higher in nutrients, such as lean meats and fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, low-fat dairy products and whole grains.
By taking charge and following a few of these tips, it won’t be long before the thought of wearing sleeveless garments becomes something to look forward to, not avoid.
