Massage Pressure Points

I found this long ago on the interwebz. Tried it today. It actually works. You can basically cure a headache by only the help of a hand massage.

The trick is to find the right amount of pressure that you need to exert using your forefinger and thumb. It should be bordering on your comfort level.

Lemme know if this worked for you.

I've been wanting to write about this for a long time, but I kept putting it off since I thought it would sound too clichéd or boring. But today, I found this while browsing the internet and it made me feel really happy.

It's a link that leads you to pictures of a photo shoot of plus size models. Beautiful women, with curves. No, I'm not putting this up since I'm biased towards curvy people but just because it gives me great pleasure to see people not associating beauty with someone's size.

Skinny people are beautiful, so are curvy people. Ultimately it's how you carry yourself.

Same goes for starving/dieting/working out. Doing it as SS said "to maintain a healthy lifestyle", and not being obsessed with losing weight for anything else than for your own satisfaction.

At the end of the day: It's your body, your life and the feeling you get when you look at yourself in the mirror.

So keep eating, stay healthy and be happy no matter what you do! Cheers. xx
