One Wish to Have It All

Posted on Mar 23, 2009 under Articles | No Comment

What would one want if one got just one wish to fulfill? What would you do if you got a chance to fulfill your one single, undying wish? Would you go for the ethereal love, romance or relationships? Or would you simply choose faith as an alternative and pray that the Almighty fulfills all your wishes?

It is hard to tell what we would do, or could do, if we got to fulfill that ‘One’ wish of ours. A number of sites, however, have come up in the web, that either help you in fulfilling your wish, or rather help in fulfilling the wishes of those who possibly cannot achieve them. The latter include people affected by life-threatening illnesses, are paralyzed, struck by poverty or are already in their deathbed. 

Not only do such sites portray the vagaries of human life, but they also mirror the drastically different range of thoughts of people, divided by extremes (money, region, faith, relationships and so on). My neighbor Edgar only yesterday found out that his wish to live in a hamlet near the Himalayas was shared by over eight thousand people all over the world, from Africa to Russia! He jokingly had quipped to me, “And I was thinking that I might just get lonely up there!”

No matter what your wish is, these online sites provide you with an outlet to your dreams and you’re ambitions. And once you realize that your wishes are similar to what a lot of other people dream or wish for, fulfilling that impossible wish suddenly seems like a very possible venture again!

It is a normal fact of life that you will have lines on your face and body. You can just humbly accept the situation as it grows or take the initiative and do something about it. Instead of purchaseing expensive emollients and moisturizers, perhaps you can try some home remedies that have proven to be effective against furrows. You can utilize egg whites under the eyes so for those that want to prevent creases, you may also use odor free castor oil and put this to the skin, under the eyes or the throat.

Remedy

Those who want to make their own cleansers can do so by emptying the contents of 3 Vitamin E caps into a tiny bowl and then blending this with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. After combining it all together, rub it on your face with a cotton ball and let it set for ten minutes before you wash it off. There is another mixture that can be made with a one-fourth cup of comfrey infusion, a one-quarter cup of patchouli essential oil. The appealing thing about this, is that you are able to save the surplus in a clean bottle for a later use.

You can also mix one teaspoon of raspberry juice with one teaspoonful of orange juice, a teaspoonful of olive oil, whipped egg yolk and two tablespoonfuls of grind oatmeal. After combining everything, you wait twenty minutes and wipe this on the face. After it is done drying just wash it off in tepid water. Before retiring to sleep be sure to keep your skin healthy by applying coconut oil to the pores of your skin. For those that have pineapple at home, you can open this and then rub the center of the fruit on your face for ten to fifteen minutes before rinsing.

You can also use green Thompson seedless grapes and once you cut this in half, you gently crush this on your face so the juice will be absorbed by the skin. Leave it on for twenty minutes and then wash off with tepid water and let it dry naturally. A paste of turmeric made with sugarcane juice can also be used as it has proven to be efficient in getting rid of wrinkles and slow skin aging. Regardless of what product you use, regular facials are an effective way to control lines. You should also give yourself a facial massage as this helps improve blood flow which results in the tightening of the muscles which reduces the fleshiness of the skin and restores your youthful look.

Each time you use this technique, you will want to begin by massaging in small circles with your fingers beginning with your neck first and moving up your face into your frontal bone region. Prior to utilizing your choice home remedy to remove wrinkles on your face, you must first clean the area with wet cotton to wipe out all cosmetics you wear on face and to make it easier to open the pores on the skin. Sunglasses and wearing a hat will help protect your eyes from the sun and also delay the onset of furrows on the sides of the eyes, known as crow’s feet.
