We all have a place we want to go to very much, more than any other place in the world , and that is our dream place. But when you look at the calendar and all the things you have going on in your life it may look impossible to ever go there. But don’t get discouraged, you can turn it into a reality and I’ll give you some tips on how to start saving for it.   1. Keep your vacation reasonable - the first step is to understand your starting point. The baby steps you’re on right now will help you determine what’s possible. Your dream vacation for a given year might be a quick trip to the beach, instead of a Caribbean cruise or a tour of European capitals. Just remember, the idea is to get away from the “normal” for a little bit 2. Plan your vacation with the end in mind - once you know your starting point, you need to figure out where you want to be and how much will it cost to get there. Research how much your vacation is likely to cost, then divide that by the numb...

Spring is just around the corner. The weather gets warmer, so we will have to stop wearing those sweaters and warm winter coats, and instead give way to the lightweight and bright clothes.   There are many kinds of clothes and accessories that are fashionable during the spring months. You can experiment with different colors and motives, and get the look, in which you feel gorgeous.   Here are some suggestions of combinations, which I definitely LOVE: 1. White jeans and off-the shoulder top This will make a fantastic outfit for a day out. The best thing is that the white jeans give you the opportunity your top to be whichever color you like. However, I suggest combining them with light and pastel colors. Especially light pink. Moreover, off-the shoulder tops look amazing in spring! I feel like the outfit will go well with both sneakers and sandals. So, it’s up to you. You can also add some jewelry to finish the look.   2. Skirts   Skater...

Many people struggle with obesity and often find themselves in a tricky situation simply because they do not know whether they should do cardio or lift weights. It is hard to know which is a better use of your time and which will have more benefits on your body. So in this post I will cover the basics you need to know about cardio vs lifting for weight loss 1. Weight training helps you burn more calories everyday - although weight training doesn’t burn as   many calories as a cardio workout, it has other important benefits. For example it is more effective than cardio for building muscle, and muscle burns more calories at rest, including fat. Because of this, it is commonly said that building muscle is the key to increasing your resting metabolism — that is how many calories you burn at rest.   2. High-intensity Interval Training or HIIT -   it provides similar benefits to Cardio, but in less time. Although weight training and cardio are two of the most p...

Everybody has a fear. Actually at most cases more than one. Some people are afraid of highs, some of failure, others of a completely different thing.   Some people are afraid of something due to a childhood trauma or a painful moment from their past, while others don’t know the particular reason - it is on subconscious level.   Fear is natural to every living creature. It is one of the most powerful emotions, which affect our mind. Fear can actually help us keep ourselves safe. However, it can also prevent us from doing things that we want and sometimes even ruin our daily lives. Luckily, it can be overcome with enough will. Here I will provide you with some advice, which I hope to be helpful.   1. Find out where your fear comes from and why. This step is really important. You should be aware of what is the actual thing that frightens you. Moreover, by realizing the reason you will know what exactly you should try to change. This might be a hard on...

Ever had the urge to eat something sweet or unhealthy? You know, those foods that you know are bad for you, but you just can’t resist them because they are so delicious? Yea, me too and thats why I’m going to show you some healthy alternatives to you favorite junk foods.   1. Baked veggie fries instead of French fries - they can have the same crispy yet soft texture as regular French fries, but are so much healthier. Just take one sweet potato, chop it up and put it in the oven. It’s so easy and you’ll get much more healthy nutrients from it.   2. Yogurt fruit pops instead of ice cream - if you’re craving something sweet, ice cream is not the way to go. If you are in a creamy mood, mix diced fruit in your favorite yogurt and put it in the freezer for couple of hours. If you want something chocolaty dip bananas in melted 75% or higher dark chocolate and put them in the freezer, too. The great thing about making your own frozen desserts is that you control how ...

Working out is a great way to stay healthy and fit. Unfortunately, some of us find it hard to set up a routine and exercise regularly. The main reason for that is not having enough motivation, which often leads to various excuses. The truth is that there are many ways to encourage yourself to train more and cope with this unpleasant situation.   One of the things you should do is find out what kind of workout is the best for you. No matter if it is going to the gym or playing a sport, if you like the activity and feel confident doing it then go for it.   Another great way to get motivated is setting a goal. You can begin with short-term ones and after some time you will get used to it. Challenge yourself every time and be better than before. Remember that the only person you should compare with is your own previous self.   Never forget why you started. The reasons might be different - to lose weight, to strengthen your muscles, to be healthy or somet...
