1. When you are aware that your words have the potential to cause great harm to another person. Even if you don't mean any harm with your words, they can still cut deep if they are insulting, sarcastic, or condescending. Words spoken years after the fact can still have the same crippling effect as those spoken moments later. One's choice of words has the power to either comfort or traumatise.
3. When you feel strong feelings coming on inside, be quiet so we can figure out what's going on.
Your bedroom is perhaps the most personal space in your home. As the place where you go to relax and re-energize, it is worthy of your whole focus. But before you head out to the stores to spruce up your bedroom, have a look at these suggestions for how to make the space as lavish as possible.
Use a rug. One of the simplest ways to make your bedroom look better is to add texture and warmth. Whether you're into florals or more muted tones, like jute, a gorgeous rug will pull your bedroom design together in an instant.
Use a hanging lamp or a pendant light. Eliminating the breast lights is a requirement. Get a dazzling chandelier or other dramatic hanging light to take their place. These Wayfair Chandelier adds drama and romance, so there's no reason to go overboard on your spending.
Focus on the statement pieces. A bed frame made of dark wood, a beautiful gilded dresser, or a velvet armchair may serve as the room's center point. The room should not be crammed with furniture; instead, each piece should be given space to shine.
Put in some plants. The easiest and quickest way to make a place look more expensive is to decorate it with plants. It's totally up to you how this shows up: Do we have a fern of some size? What kind of plants do you have in your little pots above your dresser? Regardless, a few well-placed plants may push a space over the edge into the realm of luxury.
Here are a list of indoors plants for bedroom

Another great benefit of watches is that they’re versatile and can be worn with many different types of outfits. You can find a watch to fit any personality or style, from classic and traditional to modern and edgy.
Additionally, watches can be a great investment. Many high-end watches are made from precious metals and stones, and some even come with warranties.
Finally, watches are a timeless gift. They’re often seen as a symbol of status and prestige, and they make a great impression. Plus, they’re practical and can be used for years to come.

To alleviate your chronic pain, you may have tried one of the many forms of medical cannabis (marijuana). Cannabinoids are the primary active ingredients in marijuana, and the vast majority of the millions of Americans who use products containing them report doing so for pain relief.
A new review in JAMA Network Open says that there is good evidence that a cannabis placebo, which is a substance made to look, smell, taste, and feel like the real thing, gives very similar pain relief as a cannabis-based product. Why is that, though?
What did this study try to find out?
In this meta-analysis of 20 randomised controlled studies, the effect of positive media coverage on patients' hopes that cannabis products will help with pain was looked at. There were a total of 1,459 people in the studies, and most of them had neuropathic pain or pain from multiple sclerosis.
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), the two main cannabinoids in marijuana, as well as the prescription drugs nabilone (Cesamet), dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros), and nabiximols, were used in these studies as active treatments (Sativex). Both the real drugs and the fake ones were given as pills, sprays, oils, smoked, or vaped. Researchers found that both groups of patients—those who got real treatment and those who got a fake one—felt about the same amount of pain relief.
Ted J. Kaptchuk, who runs the Program in Placebo Studies and The Therapeutic Encounter at the Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says that the study's results are not shocking. He says that, with the exception of opioids, most painkillers are only slightly more effective than a sugar pill.
In fact, clinical trials of common painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen have shown that placebos relieve pain about as well as the real drugs. But this doesn't change the fact that the drugs have effects on the body. Instead, a placebo has the same effects or effects that look like the real thing. Kaptchuk says that they just use different neurobiological pathways to work.

There are a lot of things you can do to take care of your skin, from using sunscreen to drinking plenty of water. But this article will focus on eight specific ways which will help keep your skin looking young and healthy for years to come.

Use Sunscreen
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to use sunscreen every day, even if you don’t plan on going outside. Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection and try to wear it all year long (yes, even during the winter times).Additionally, choose a sunscreen with physical ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, rather than chemical ingredients. These physical blockers block the sun’s rays from penetrating your skin, while chemical blockers merely absorb them.
Non-invasive Treatments
In-office treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion are two noninvasive treatments that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Chemical peels use exfoliants to strip away dead skin cells, while microdermabrasion uses a diamond wand to remove the top layer of skin and stimulate collagen production.On the other hand, if you need to enhance the condition of your skin due to the aging process, weather, and stress factors, you may also consider Botox and dermal fillers. These treatments are minimally invasive, meaning that they involve injections of either botulinum toxin (such as Botox) or hyaluronic acid (such as Juvederm). While there is botox being offered in Glasgow and other major cities, this kind of treatment requires trained professionals to administer the injections. Consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to learn more about these treatments.
Eat Skin-boosting Foods
You can’t outsmart genetics when it comes to your skin, but you can ensure that you’re getting the right nutrients to help keep it looking healthy. Eating foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3-rich fish will not only help protect your skin from sun damage, but they’ll also give your body the essential vitamins and minerals it needs for glowing skin.Additionally, adding foods rich in antioxidants, such as green tea and dark chocolate, will help fight free radicals and keep your skin looking radiant. Lastly, try to avoid sugary processed foods as these have been found to lead to an increase in wrinkles and age spots.
One of the unspoken guidelines for wearing animal print is to approach it the same way you would any other neutral colour in your closet. This means it can be paired with other prints, like tartan and stripes. Muted brown versions go well with denim, burgundy, navy, and khaki.
I don't like wearing animal prints, and this happened to be one of them, but I pushed myself to buy this dress, and I like the fit.
This dress has very flexible styling options. You can style it with boots, sneakers, sandals, slippers, or heels; all will be perfect with this dress.
The dress is still available at Primark, and you can purchase similar online.

Never judge a bottle of wine by its label, they say. I'm not a big fan of red wine in general, but the Snoop Dogg Cali Red Blend is a cut above the rest. The Snoop is no different; it's subtle, smooth, and easy to drink. In my opinion, a bottle is decent if it tastes good and is easy to drink.
Snoop Dogg, on the other hand, is a household name. The California-based rapper collaborated with 19 Crimes to sell his signature wine, the Cali Red. I was very impressed with what I tasted, and I would recommend this wine to anyone who enjoys sweet wine with a sophisticated flavour.
Cali Red is dense and dry, with bright flavours that evoke raspberries, blackberry jam, vanilla, and toasted oak. Aside from the tasting notes, the beautiful plum colour adds to its allure. This Snoop Dogg wine review will tell you more about its flavour, aroma, and food pairings.
