TEENAGE A BEAUTIFUL AGE

 TEENAGE BEAUTY:
A few tips which make a teenage a beautiful age.

• Teenage beauty-a special rewarding word for teenage girls.Beauty at teenage is a problamatic age,coping both with under and over active glands causing various skin problems like acne,pimples and open pores,not only these and they suffer from  either under weight or over weight problems.
• If a girl is overweight ,or if it is a heridatory,then she has to switch to more fruits ,vegetables and milk.And has to avoid all cakes pastries and icecreams,and junkfood ,and sugar based cooldrinks.
• But if a girl is underweight,she has to choose foods with proteins and vitamins.She should not skip meals and substitute them with snacks and drinks at odd intervels.
• Besides having a good diet ,should sleep for atleast 8 hours a day,coz the cells in the body can repair and renew themselves when a person is asleep.
• Exercise in open air,go for long brisk walks either in the morn or eve,to keep yourself fit. 
• During the teenage only,the skin will be getting rough,and the skin pores will be accumilated by the secretions leading to pimples ,acne,and marks.To avoid these skin problems,keep your skin clean by having baths thoroughly atleast 2  times a day.
• Steam your face twice a week.Then apply a herbal face mask ,which not only cleans the skin but also purifies the facial skin,thus making it function noramally.
• This is the age where you can care a little more what you look alike. Regarding making over ,use compact on the face,wear lipstic of lightest shade or you may go with a lipgloss.And for marriage functions and parties,if  your skin is acne prone skip off the heavy make up and foundation.Do not atleast attempt for a foundation or so,and beware of  oily skin which turns horrible with foundation.
• Instead of mascara,apply a little castor oil on your eye lashes before bath.This will encourage their growth.And for parties or get togethers a little application of eyeliner may be suggested.
• And  as for nail polish use palest of pink shades.And try any of the new ones either makeups or hair styles in the week ends and take the suggestion of your mother,as she is your most close friend  of all in the world.This generation mothers do consider as nothing is important for them other than their children.
• Agood proper care should be taken towards hair coz they will make you the centre of attraction amongst all in your near by comming future.Brush it nicely both morn and eve,and if the hair is falling or looking dull give it the hot oil treatment.But be on your own ,to establish the  hairstyle or makeup,without looking like any one else.Dont imitate.
• In teens the problem of greasy hair,is a natural outcome of a greasy skin.The scalp should be kept clean, not to have scalp infections.To treat a greasy scalp wash your head with multani mitti and luke warm water.Hot water promotes greasyness.Use plenty of luke warm water for washing the hair.Even curds can be applied to the roots of the hair,it acts as cooling agent,besides this it darkens the hair.
• Try new outfits together with accessories.Its good to try new things with a light makeup and good clothes.Do wear fashionable which are decent and latest,and most imp it should suit you.
• And by the age of twenty,a big transition,a senior in fashions having your own style and trend.Be updated in the looks which has a vast differance than in the middle school.Be usual with daily make over in the day,and add a little darker shades of eyeliner and more festive look and good accessories from head to toe when you go with friends for parties or functions.

FENGSHUI TIPS

FENGSHUI TIPS:
Fengshui is called as chinese vaasthu .These days most of us  are following fengshui tips.In my observation,though the vasthu is a little imperfect, and when it is impossible and very expensive to alter,then i choose fengshui as a remedy.It helps to some extent.Normally in the shops where the fengshui items are available,there are many varieties of fengshui objects and we can follow them.

• According to fengshui,the  Southeast corner(agneyam mula  in telugu) in the house is considered as wealth and goodluck corner.Dont keep this corner dark without light.Atleast in the nights maintain a bulb in the south east corner. 
• Keep 2 idols of roaring lions,in the two sides of main gate.Or atleast idols of cement can be carved on the gate.Last but not the least,paste 2 posters of roaring lions ,coz according to fengshui ,these roaring lions  protect the wealth ,and dont allow the evil forces to enter the house.
• Place the picture of 9 running horses ,in the south block of the house,the fame and recognition part of the house.Surely your name and fame(keerthi prathishtalu) will be improved.
• The career and oppurtunities causing part of your  house,in the North direction,place a small bowl with water.The other option is stick a poster of water ,running water or water fountain,without stones,in the north part.A good  change will be there in your career.
• Dont keep or stick any posters relating to rivers,sea scapes,and water related pictures in the Bedroom.
• Generally the place in the north will be more spacious and large when compared to the south in our indian vaasthu,the constructions are done according to this rule.So never use,the place in the north, as a dumpyard or storage of clutter ,or old articles.Keep it scruplously clean and vacant,coz that is the  career and oppurtunities part of the house.
• Donot store sweeping brooms,etc clutter in the back of the doors.Coz according to fengshui the doors are to be opened fully without any obstructions.
• Regularly do oiling to the screws and bolts of the doors and windows.There should not be any sounds while opening and closing of doors,coz the sounds obstruct the good luck .
• No plants are to be placed in bed rooms.
• Generally the slippers or slipper stands are kept in the  entrance of the door.This doesnot bring good luck according to chinese vaasthu.According to fengshui ,the CHI ,the good energy of luck ,will enter the house and travel inside from above the slippers and  shoes etc (if shoes are kept there)carrying the negative odour, which is not a good luck.Place the shoes and slippers away from the entrance of the house,and welcome the wealth and good luck in to your house.
• The Tv s are not to be placed in the bedrooms,but it is not possible to each and every body.So after switching off the tv cover it with a thick plastic sheet and not with a cloth.
• According to fengshui,the Good Luck CHI which enter your house,will retain in the water and remain there.So maintain scented flowers in flower vases, or  fish acquariums,or  water fountains, by which you change the water occasionally.

These are some of the tips to be performed according to fengshui  for a better and quality living.

GUMMADIKAYA ATTU & VADIYAM/ PUMPKIN BAJJI

Gummadikaya attu
Boodidha Gummadikaya or White pumpkin slits -4 cups
Pumpkin washed thoroughly and made in to thin and small slits of 1" size
Then apply salt,and place in a cloth napkin and squeeze well,or keep it under
a heavy weight box,on the kitchen platform,very near to wash basin .So that

the water which oozes from the pumpkin slits will go in to the wash basin directly,
thus not making the platform shabby

Urad daal -1 cup
Before making the attu,wet grind the urad dal,by adding less water in to a paste.
Wash & soak for 4 hrs
Greenchillies 6 nos
crushed into a paste.
Red chillie powder 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Hing powder a pinch
Oil for shallow frying
Method:
Place the pumpkin slits from  which the water is  squeezed in to a bowl,then add
the grinded urad dal mixture in to it.
Mix well then add the crushed green chilli paste,redchilli powder,salt and hing well.
So that every thing will be mixed well,and now the pumpkin mixture is ready.
Place a tawa on the stove ,add 1 tsp oil after heating,and place 1/2 cup of the pumpkin

mixture on the tawa and spread it a little,add 1 to 2 tsp oil and shallow fry.
Serve hot either with rice or tomato sauce.

VADIYAM:
Where as if this material is deep fried in oil it is called Gummadikaya Pachhi Vadiyam.

Place a kadai on the stove,add oil for deep fry,and after heating ,deep fry this batter in to medium sized vadiyams.It absorbs much oil so place on a tissue paper before serving.

MAMIDIKAYA PULIHORA

MAMIDIKAYA PULIHORA:
Materials:
Rice 2 cups
Grated raw mango-1cup
Salt to taste
Seasoning:
Oil 2 to 3 tbsps

Channa daal 1 spoon

Cashewnuts or groundnuts-1/2 cup

switch it off.
Add the grated mamidikaya ,haldhi,and salt with the cooked rice, mix well according to your taste.If you want less sourness add less amount of grated mango,but if you want it more sour and tasty,add more qty of grated raw mangoto the cooked rice.
Lastly add the total seasoning to the rice.And mix it well.Mango pulihora tastes yummy.
TIP:
If you want to store it for a day i.e. both for supper and dinner also, then fry the grated mango in 1 tsp of oil for 5 mins in medium fire,saute well then switch it off.And after it turns cool then add into the rice.Like this it will retain for 1 day in  indian atmosphere.
I prepare this atleast thrice or four times in the season of mangoes.

BEAUTY------CHILDREN

Beauty-a wonderful word which every body craves for.In each and every segment of the life a human craves for and tries to be goodlooking with his/her  dress,appearance and behaviour etc .And each age group has its own problems regarding beauty.Here the beauty to maintain for a child by her mother is my topic,.Afew tips that every mother should go through to make her daughter a future MONALISA.

• In the child hood ,the question of beauty ,it will start by  learning personal hygiene,and how to look sweet , decent,chubby and bubbly..
• At the age of teens,the beauty urge starts in the girls,and starts noticing the look of appreciation in others eyes towards her.
• Then after that,Young women more than 20 years,middle aged women should understand the law of nature and its demands,according to their age groups and do maintain the beauty care like wise and Grow up with beauty:
• As soon as a baby girl is born,the mother starts her pampering with varieties of nice clothes as toddlers.
• Then regarding bath the mothers start massaging with oils,butter and giving them a herbal hair bath with bath powders.
• Surely a mother has to start the beauty regime of her daughter from her child hood as the foundation is to be laid in the childhood itself.
• The good looks depend on the type of food a child is given to eat.An adequate diet full of nutrition obtain the necessary elements of growth,such as all vitamins,calicium,minerals and carbs etc.So as a cautious mother who is interested in her child,should see that every food that is good for her is included in her food.
• But see that you are not pampering her with sweets,starchy and fatty foods.
• But when your children like sweets,give them home made sweets made with honey rather than sugar.
• Give her fresh fruit juices,raithas instead of colas.And keep a competition among you and your child saying that who drinks first will be the winner,there by developing a competition spirit in her.
• Give her a training by joining in the classes of dancing,swimming and yoga as this gives a good posture .
• Next comes the heredity which provides the colour ,the basic bone structure and the texture of the hair.
• But majority of the beauty lies in careful nurturing ,diet and exercise.
• Children  do have a tender skin and soft hair which needs cleansing with a mild shampoo regularly.
• Rub fresh cows milk in to her/his hair roots 15 min before giving hair bath.
• If the hair is too curly add a little hair oil and plait them daily.
• Apply hair oil/olive oil/castor oil before head bath and wash after one hour.
• Children get lice in the hair,from other children though how carefully you maintain.Lice may arise many skin irritations and skin sores.
• Give bath with a medicated shampoo,and quite often comb the hair and remove lice and nits.
• Mix a little camphor and coconut oil, and make partings along the hair and apply camphor oil with the finger tips.After applying the whole scalp with camphor oil, tie the head with a piece of cloth and let it remain the whole night.The next day morning give her a head bath.Repeat this treatment every month till she is in school,if she is to be free from lice.
• Donot allow the child remain to be with greasy hair, coz they dont look their best in oily hair.Every time before bath apply oil ,and dont after bathing.
• Trim hair once in two to three months,and split ends are to be cut.
• Do not tie up in a tight pony tail, coz the hair falls and breaks after some time.
• They should be allowed to play and walk around without slippers for sometime daily,as this firms the muscles and bones of the feet strong. 
• When just the child is about to walk or just started walking, the shoes should be soft and flexible.
• Regarding the teeth teach your small child to brush or wash the teeth after every meal.Make her wash  her mouth after she eats sweets,so that the sugar in her mouth wont decay the teeth.She should be trained to rinse her mouth with water,where ever and whenever she eats anything.
• Show  her to a dentist if the teeth are not in a order,and not straight.
• Allow her to join and mingle with  her co- friends,giving speeches and stage shows in the schools,so that she will be habituated to move in the society freely in the near by future.
• Not only physical beauty ,but the posture ,behaviour and the mental beauty,lending a hand to those in need will also counts in the beauty.And this should be made a part and parcel of the life from childhood which add points generously,to the physical beauty. 
• By giving her the extra care and attention from her childhood the child will be grown up with a self discipline,in to a gorgeous young lady  with confidance ,like a lady in Raja ravivarmas paintings.

Note:
Even though it can be eaten after the balls are made,no need of cooking like idli.Thats why 2 1/2 cups of water are added.But some people add only 2 cups of water instead of 2 1/2 cups,and after making balls they cook them as they cook for  idlis .Depends .
