Vacuum Plus Music Equals Clean Fitness

What if I told you that you can lose weight, become fit and healthy without having to exercise or even take any diet supplements? Sounds wacky right, but wait there is a way and it has been around for decades now. Vacuuming your entire house on a regular basis gives you the required exercise otherwise attained today with gym, keeps your mind free to roam around and your house clean. Now each of these benefits, in turn, help you one way or another.

First, vacuuming is a time-intensive process and although not too physical or taxing, one that many want to avoid. In fact, most folks have a housemaid or helper around to get such things done but doing the vacuuming yourself not only keeps you busy but also works out your body muscles. Imagine what a proper session of vacuum includes. Lifting the rug, shaking down upholstery, chugging your cleaner up the stairs, crouching to access hard to reach areas and more. Add to this the fact that you have to allocate at least an hour to do all this and you get a complete workout routine all perfectly chalked out for you.

Second, when you vacuum, your mind isn't stressed and neither is the body taken beyond a breaking point. This allows you to all the while thinking on more important things like what your tax savings look like, where to invest your hard-earned money, how sweet your last date was and when's the next one and so on! An idle mind may be the playground for the devil but a mind that is left free to ponder is the workshop of an angle. You will be astonished by how many new ideas come to you during each vacuuming session. Couple it with the right music and you got a perfect meditation session in hand, on demand!

Finally, you keep your house clean, dust-free at all times. This in turn directly translates into a healthier lifestyle. Unknown to many, the effect of vacuuming lasts for no more than two days and by the third day, your home has become the breeding ground for dust, grime, and dirt. Cleaning your home every three days helps keep allergens away, your health under check and you feeling active with clean breathable air.

Maybe, it is time you fired your housekeeper and started taking care of it personally. You will want to work more on the house, clean and maintain it better actually. And all the while you are having fun, enjoying your favorite jazz track!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
