According to research sleeping in complete darkness may help prevent weight gain and depression.  Over eight weeks, mice exposed to dim lighting at night the equivalent of leaving on television, computer, or adjacent bathroom light-gained 50 percent more weight than mice in total darkness, despite similar caloric intakes and activity levels.  And hamsters subjected to nighttime light experienced a rise in depressive behaviors.  The light may throw off the biological clock and increase nighttime eating, says a doctoral student at Ohio State University in Columbus.  If the findings hold true for humans, she adds people may benefit from a consistent sleep schedule and window curtains or sleep marks.

Do you dread going to the gym? Do you prefer staying at the comfort of your home watching TV instead of going for a quick run? Guess what? You are not the only one! Studies show that 60% of Americans don’t get the recommended amount of physical activity, and over 25% of adults are not active at all.  These statistics reflect the fact that many of us simply don’t exercise.  Have you every heard of the expression “use it or lose it”? It’s true and in many ways if you don’t use your body, you will surely lose it.

Wearing the right nail polish for work all depends on what kind of job you have and how flexible they are towards your position.  Many companies within the fashion & beauty industry allow and accept many nail polish colors as part of a trend or a representation of who you are while other jobs are more concerned about your appearance and how this may reflect their company. Many colors wether it's green, blue, white, or neutral may be socially acceptable depending on your field, yet if you are an attorney or work representing clients you might want to reconsider the "green" nail polish.  I suppose, when it comes to looking professional your nails are an extension of your appearance perhaps leaving the glitter and silver nails for a fun night out with the girls. Below are best nail polish for work for any position.

SMOKING

• Like you need another reason to quit? Seriously—it's time. Because if you keep smoking, you'll not only damage your health, but you'll develop more and more deep wrinkles and blotchier skin tone. In fact, every decade of smoking results in a perceived extra 2.5 years of age, according to research published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Summer time is quickly approaching and that means protecting our skin as much as possible.  We all know that sunscreen is essential, but what does it really mean and how many times should we apply?

• What does SPF Mean? SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. SPF numbers on a package can range from as low as 2 to as high as 60. These numbers refer to the product's ability to screen or block out the sun's burning rays. The SPF rating is calculated by comparing the amount of times needed to produce a sunburn on protected skin to the amount of times needed to cause a sunburn on unprotected skin. If you are using SPF 30 this means that you are like applying 30 more layers of "skin" to your body and face so that the sun has to burn through those 30 skins before your actual skin gets burnt.

• Orange Nails: Everyone is buzzing about: CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Colour in Orange.  A vibrant sherbet shade will keep your nails glowing all summer.
