~ Ideal Habits for a Better Lifestyle ~

The joys of winter season are largely understood, when the simplest of hot meals taste amazing,snuggling under multiple bed sheets brings an incomparable sense of joy and sipping on hot chocolate is bliss beyond comparison. However, like most good things in life, winters too present some issues. Among these, dry or flaky skin is the most common condition. For keeping your skin moisturized and supple during the winters, you don’t need medical advice or spend hours researching on the internet—just read through the following tips and follow them with regularity: Moisturize After Every Cleaning Session Whether you take a bath, wash your face or wash your hands, ensure that during winters, you immediately follow this with some basic moisturizer or lotion. Soap and water tend to cleanse our skin along with removing its natural moisture, leaving it drier and vulnerable to cracking. Keep an all-purpose body lotion handy or carry a small jar of vaseline. Try not to use harsh cleaning agents that can react on dry skin and can lead to further erosion of the skin’s essential oils. Don’t Forget Your Lips Most people tend to realize the damaged state of their lips, when the cracking and flaking becomes visible. Rather than testing your lips’ ability to counter the drying winters, it is better to equip them with daily application of a lip balm. Chapped lips are plain ugly, capable of immediately ruining your impression. If you want, you can carry a chap-stick. Just go to washroom and dab it on your lips throughout the day. Your Scalp Needs Caring Too Dandruff tends to haunt many people, particularly during the dry winter season. With lowered water intake and cold winds constantly taking-away the skin’s natural oils and moisture, the scalp too is left dry and flaky, leading to dandruff. The best way to avoid this winter skin problem is to massage your head with lukewarm oils like coconut or mustard oil before going to bed. Exfoliation Basics You Should Know Firstly, exfoliate minimally during the winters. With your skin being dry and susceptible to breakouts, it is better not to exfoliate with very hard scrubbers. Ensure that you moisturize the exfoliated cuticles comprehensively. This includes the spots of thicker, dry skin found along the heels, elbows and needs. It is better to use nourishing oils like sesame or coconut oil for this. Keep Away From Scalding Water Yes, taking a winter bath under the hot, steaming shower is one of purest forms of joy known to us but remember this—scalding hot water can leave your skin drier. It is better to regulate the temperature of your bathing water where it should be a shade under boiling hot. If possible, try to use lukewarm water rather than heated water. A good, preventative idea is to lightly massage your body with body oils before taking a hot bath. Use Winter Dietary Supplementation To avert dry skin, it is advised to equip yourself with a systematic winter supplementation regime should include omega-3 oils found largely in fish. This can be consumed in the form of fish oil pills. Other essential vitamins and minerals for the winter season include vitamins A, D and E apart from zinc. Thus, ensure greater consumption of lean meats, apples and green leafy vegetables apart from walnuts, peanuts, peanuts and pistachios. Keep Your Environment & Body Hydrated With closed windows and shut doors accompanied by central heating or room heaters and blowers, the internal air loses the basic moisture level it should always possess. The dry air is re-circulated. Dry air tends to further dry-up our winter-bashed skin. Thus, it is better to use a humidifier or allow some ventilation for a few minutes, every two hours. Your body too needs more water to fight-off the winter dryness so consume water at regular intervals. In fact, it is now postulated that winter and summer season water intake should be almost equal for ensuring better, all-round health.

⊰ DK ⊱

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay.
Love isn't love till you give it away.
When I first saw you I was afraid to talk to you..
When I first talked to you I was afraid to like you..
When I first liked you I was afraid to love you..
Now that I love you I'm afraid to lose you ..
Love is gentle..Love is kind..Love is when...
two lives combine If a kiss were a raindrop, I'd send you showers..
If hugs were a second, I'd send you hours..
If smiles were water, I'd send you the sea..
If love was a person, I'd send you me...
I'm not supposed to love you,
I'm not supposed to care.
I'm not supposed to live my life, wishing you were here..
I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do..
I'm sorry I just can't help myself, I fell in love with you...
I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away..
I wrote your name on my hand but I washed it the next day..
I wrote your name on a paper but I accidentally threw it away..
I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay..
The day will come when you'll be mine..But I'll just wait till that time...
If I have to wait forever, that's what I'll do...
because I can't live my life without you...
You are irreplaceable and irresistible.
Together we'll make this unbreakable...
Best Wishes, Luvs & Regards.. { Deepak Kumar }

Top 10 Amazing Facts About Snow

Did you know that each winter one septillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) of snow crystals drop from the sky and that it takes about a million little droplets to make one snowflake? As common as it might seem at first glance, snow is actually a very complex type of precipitation. If you are wondering which is the world’s largest snowflake or what is the record for the greatest snowfall in the United States, you have landed on right page. Here are my Top 10 fascinating facts about snow:

10. Funny Snow Terminology
Not all snow is the same and who knows this better than skiers and snowboarders? Skiers created in the early 1900s their own terminology to describe various types of snow. The crazy lingo used by them includes funny terms such as “pow pow,” “mashed potatoes,” “champagne snow (powder),” “cauliflower,” “sticky snow,” “dust on crust” and many other descriptive terms. Slang adds humor, color and personality to any vocabulary. Did you know that “pow pow” or simply pow (from powder) is the fresh powder snow, which is actually a soft, fluffy type of snow? “Champagne snow” has such an extremely low moisture content that you can’t even make a snowball with it. While “champagne powder” is great for skiing because it’s smooth and dry, “mashed potatoes” is an old, dense and heavy snow that is hard to turn skis in.

09. The World’s Largest Snowflake
According to specialists, “snowflakes are agglomerates of many frozen ice crystals., most snowflakes are less than one-half inch across”, NSIDC. The water content of snowflakes is more variable than we think. An average snowflake is made up of 180 billion molecules of water, but the snow-water ration depends on various factors such as temperature, crystal structure, wind speed etc.
Even if there aren’t any images of the biggest snowflake ever recorded, the Guinness Book of World Records states that a giant snowflake was found at Fort Keogh, Montana on January 28, 1887. It was 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick.

08. The Colors of Snow
While many think that snow is either white or blue, its ‘colors’ range from yellow and orange to green and even purple, but…believe it or not, snow is actually colorless. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center,
“the complex structure of snow crystals results in countless tiny surfaces from which visible light is efficiently reflected. What little sunlight is absorbed by snow is absorbed uniformly over the wavelengths of visible light thus giving snow its white appearance.”
Cold-tolerant algae are small, photosynthetic organisms which grow on snow and ice in the polar and alpine regions. Different strains of algae can color the snow yellow, red, orange, brown, green. Of course, the snow acquires its color after it has fallen. You may see snow that falls pink, brown, orange or red, if the air is filled with dust, pollutants or sand. Orange snow fell over Siberia in 2007 and Krasnodar (Russia) was covered by pink snow in 2010.

07. Snowfall Record
If you ever wondered where did the most snow fall in one year, here is the answer. Mount Baker, in the North Cascades of Washington State, holds this amazing world record, a reported 1,140 inches accumulated during the 1998-99 snowfall season. It is the youngest volcano of the Mount Baker volcanic region and the most heavily glaciated of the inhospitable Cascade volcanoes. Mount Baker (10,775 feet) is for sure one of the snowiest places on earth.

06. Snowfall Record Within 24th
The greatest amount of snow to fall within 24 hours in U.S. occurred in Silver Lake – Colorado in 1921: 76 inches of snow. Another impressive record of 63 inches was registered in Georgetown, Colorado on December 4, 1913. It can never be to cold to snow. Actually, it can snow even at incredibly low temperatures “as long as there is some source of moisture and some way to lift or cool the air.” (National Snow and Ice Data Center). However, major snowfalls occur in relatively warm temperature climates. If you are curious to know how much snow falls where you live, check out the Snowfall Table provided by the National Climatic Data Center.

05. The Longest Winter Road in the World
Constructed each January on ice and snow, the ‘Wapusk Trail’ road has a length of 467 miles and links Gillam, Manitoba with Peawanuk, Ontario, Canada. ‘Wapusk Trail’ is the longest seasonal winter road in the world. It even got a Guinness World Records certificate. This type of ‘temporary highways’ have a crucial role in enabling goods to be delivered to communities without permanent road access. Warm weather forces the closure of the winter road staring with March, early April. Air transportation is an alternative, but it’s quite expensive.

04. Snowstorms and Bombs
Did you know that a single snowstorm can drop more than 39 million tons of snow, carrying the energy equivalent to 120 atomic bombs? ‘The Great Blizzard of 1888’ was one of the most devastating snowstorms to hit New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The storm dumped up to 50 inches of snow. ‘The Great Snow of 1717’, ‘The Washington and Jefferson Snowstorm’, ‘The Long Storm of November 1798’ and the ‘Portland Storm’ are other major snowstorms that struck America.

03. The Fastest Ever Half-Marathon Run Barefoot on Snow
Dutch daredevil Wim Hof holds the world record for running the fastest half marathon barefoot on snow and ice. He completed the marathon in 2 hr 16 min 34 sec near Oulu, Finland, on 26 January 2007. Hof’s stunning abilities to withstand harsh winds, snow, ice and freezing temperatures won him the nickname ‘Ice Man’.
By courageously swimming 80 meters under the North Pole ice, Wim Hof earned another Guinness World Record.

02. The Largest Snow Sculpture
A team of 600 amazing sculptors unveiled at the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival held on December 20, 2007 – ‘Romantic Feelings’ – the world’s largest snow sculpture. The Olympic Games were the source of inspiration for the staggering 656 ft long and 115 ft tall sculpture. This magnificent ‘landscape’ was the centerpiece of the festival opened in the Heilongjiang Province, one of China’s coldest places.

01. The Snowflake Man
Throughout time, snowflakes have fascinated many eminent scientists and philosophers such as René Descartes, Johannes Kepler and Robert Hooke, but the man who literally devoted his entire life to showing us the diversity and beauty of snowflakes is American Wilson A. Bentley (February 9, 1865 – December 23, 1931).
This ‘snowtastic’ Top 10 list is a tribute to Wilson Bentley, the first man to capture snow crystals on film. Known as “The Snowflake Man”, Bentley captured more than 5000 photographs of snowflakes. He received international acclaim in the 19th century for his pioneering work in the fields of photomicrography, because he perfected a process of photographing snowflakes before they either melted or sublimed.
Bentley’s legacy is an extraordinarily rich one: a vast library of detailed journals, books, published articles and over 5000 photographs of “tiny miracles of beauty”, as he often referred to snowflakes.
