Skin Firming Mask:

Sometimes the best cures are the least expected.In your skin's case,one of the best methods for cleaning pores is,well,more dirt.Cosmetic clay contains a host of skin-nourishing minerals,and its naturally absorbent properties help draw debris,dead skin cells,excess oils,and other toxins from pores.Used weekly, a clay mask (also called a mud mask) results in a smooth,supple,deeply clean complexion.Mixing clay powder with cool,filtered water is the simplest way to prepare a mask,but you can get added benefits by using other liquids.Cool green tea provides an extra antioxidant boost that may help fight the formation of fine lines.To soothe irritated or very dry skin,you can try mixing clay with cold milk or cream.
1) To start,add one tablespoon of water,green tea,or milk to a small bowl.Gradually add two tablespoons of fine clay powder to the liquid,stirring to prevent clumps.The result should be a smooth paste;if it's too thick or too runny,add a few drops of water or a little more clay to achieve the desired consistency.
2) Using your fingers,apply a thick layer of the paste to clean,dry skin,avoiding the eyes and lips.For a more even application,use a clean and soft one-inch paintbrush.
3) After 10 to 12 minutes,rinse with warm water.
4) Pat dry with fluffy towel and follow with a natural toner and a light moisturiser to soften and nourish skin throughout the day.

Sex:The Big "O" & The Big Difference:

A man usually needs about two or three minutes of stimulation to have an orgasm,a woman generally needs 10 times more. For a man,an orgasm is instinctive.For a woman,it happens only after direct stimulation of the clitoris. A man's climax usually lasts for 10-13 seconds.For a woman,it lasts 6-60 seconds. A man must recuperate after an orgasm but a woman can have repeated orgasms within minutes or in rapid succession. Wonder why a man rolls over and sleeps after? During sex,his body releases oxytocin,a hormone that induces drowsiness.A woman is more relaxed after sex,which is why she wants to talk or cuddle.

The Tip : How to get your man in the mood :

1) Handfeed your lover with tidbits such as strawberries or chocolates. 2) Turn a cuddle into a sensual neck and back massage. 3) Create a love-tape of your lover's favorite love songs and present it to him. 4) Write a loving a sexy note for your lover and leave it somewhere you know he'll find it during the day. 5) Send a love letter. You don't have to fill pages-just one or two lines saying how you feel about him speaks volumes. 6) Send a text or e-mail that simply says that you're thinking of him at that moment. 7) The next time you have dinner together, light a few candles, put on some soft music and show your lover you want to make him feel good. 8) Offer to go out on an errand for your lover and come back with a surprise gift-it only needs to be a small present yet the gesture seems big on caring.

Breastfeeding safer for HIV+moms

Breast feeding,which helps build a baby's immune system, may be the best option for HIV-infected mothers in developing countries, despite the risk of transmitting the virus that causes AIDS to their babies, according to new studies presented some days ago. HIV-positive mothes generally are counselled to feed their babies formula to limit the risk of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus, but that has caused problems in nations where clean water and other needs may not be met. Hoosen Coovadia a pediatrician at South Africa's University of KwaZuluNatal said that instructing HIV-infected mothers in developing nations to breast-feed would result in about 300000 children becoming infected with HIV, but would save 1.5 million from dying of other diseases.
