<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">From eating more tomatoes for sun protection to sleeping on your back, these ten changes have been scientifically proven to make skin, hair and nail conditions better.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contrary to popular belief, moisturiser does not add moisture to the skin. It traps existing water in the skin by preventing it from evaporating. To capture the most amount of moisture from your bath or shower, moisturise within three minutes of bathing according to the <a class="link-external" href="http://www.skincarephysicians.com/agingskinnet/winter_skin.html" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">American Academy of Dermatology</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The fact is that skin is an organ, which without water does not function properly or at its best. Even if you drink plenty of water, <a class="link-external" href="http://www.med.wisc.edu/" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">physicians at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals say</a> the unfortunate truth is that water will reach all the other organs before it reaches the skin. So, it's important to apply water to our skin and keep it there.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">While we all know the muscle and cardiovascular benefits of exercise, its a lesser known fact that physical activity also helps keep your skin healthy and vibrant by increasing blood flow.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," <a class="link-external" href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/features/exercise" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">says dermatologist Ellen Marmur</a>, author of <em>Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman's Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin</em>. Blood flow helps carry away waste products, including free radicals, from working cells. "By increasing blood flow, a bout of exercise helps flush cellular debris out of the system," added Marmur.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><a class="link-external" href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/04/16/younger-skin-through-exercise/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=1" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">A recent study by researchers at McMaster University</a> in Ontario suggests regular physical activity can even reverse skin ageing in those who start exercising late in life. When a group of volunteers aged 65 or older started jogging or cycling at a moderately strenuous pace for 30 minutes twice a week over three months, researchers found the outer and inner layers of their skin looked very similar to those of 20- to 40-year-old. (Note, researchers studied skin samples from the volunteers' buttocks to ensure it was an area of skin not frequently exposed to the sun.)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I don’t want to over-hype the results, but, really, it was pretty remarkable to see," said Dr. Tarnopolsky. Under a microscope, the volunteers’ skin "looked like that of a much younger person, and all that they had done differently was exercise."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">However, try to avoid excising outdoors between 10am and 4pm when the sun is at its peak. "The main danger if you exercise outdoors is sun exposure," <a class="link-external" href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/features/exercise" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">says April Armstrong, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California</a>. Sunburns increase skin cancer risk and rapidly age the skin.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"If you sleep face-down the blood vessels will become constricted and the circulatory system releases congested fluid from tiny flaps in the walls of these vessels," <a class="link-external" href="http://fridaymagazine.ae/beauty/grooming/the-new-wrinkle-buster-sleep-1.1244881#sthash.9rsuPXfE.dpuf" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">says Colette Haydon</a>, a doctor of pharmacy and dermo-cosmetology at University of Lyon, France.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"The dark circles are actually tiny blood vessels ‘pooling’ under the thin, delicate skin below the eyes. The older you get, the longer they take to disappear; and you may notice more lines forming permanently on the side of the face you normally sleep on," added Haydon. "This is because as we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, and doesn't ‘bounce back’ into shape."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">It's time to eat more pizza and pasta. A pigment called lycopene in tomatoes has been found to significantly protect skin from UV damage.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In the 2012 study led by Newcastle University, <a class="link-external" href="http://www.nrjournal.com/article/S0271-5317(12)00065-6/abstract" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">one study</a>, 23 women who were used to burning merely at the sight of the sun ate 55g of tomato paste every day for 12 weeks. When they were exposed to UV radiation they showed 33% more skin protection. Scientists said the tomato paste acted as an equivalent to a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 1.3.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Eating tomatoes will not make you invincible in the sun, but it may be a useful addition to sun protection along with sunscreens, shade and clothing," <a class="link-external" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/06/07/tomato-anti-ageing-skin-sunburn-protection_n_1578519.html" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">said professor Mark Birch-Machin</a>, lead author of the study, in a statement.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Recent studies have shown that a diet with more fruits and vegetables can change and improve skin tone.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Most people think the best way to improve skin colour is to get a suntan, but our research shows that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is actually more effective," <a class="link-external" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110111133224.htm" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">said Dr Stephen whose 2011 study at University of Nottingham</a> found that people who eat more portions of fruit and vegetables per day had a more golden skin colour, thanks to substances called carotenoids which gives natural produce its pigmentation</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In 2012, <a class="link-external" href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0032988" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">researchers at University of St. Andrews School of Psychology</a> tracked the fruit and vegetable consumption of 35 people over a six-week period and saw an increase in red and yellow tones in participants' skin.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The researchers also credited the changes in skin colour to carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, which gives carrots their orange colour and is also found in yams, peaches, pumpkin, apricots and spinach; and lycopene which gives peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, apricots and pink grapefruits a reddish hue.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Our study suggests that an increase in fruit and veggie consumption of around three portions, sustained over a six-week period, is sufficient to convey perceptible improvements in the apparent healthiness and attractiveness of facial skin," said lead researcher Dr. Ross Whitehead. “Conversely, those [participants] that worsened their diet became paler."</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">You've probably never heard of an element called silica but it works wonders for our skin hair and nails and is is the <a class="link-external" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17435951" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">second most prevalent element after oxygen</a>. When you're young, your body has abundant levels of silica which is why children normally have beautiful silky hair, soft skin and perfect nails. We are born with large amounts of silica but we lose it with age.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A study by the University of Cincinnati’s College of Pharmacy found that fine-haired women who were given 10 mg of silica per day for nine months had thicker hair, increased elasticity and better tensile strength. Another study executed by the Department of Dermatology at the University of Bologna found that women taking silica over a 20-week period had less-brittle nails and hair and decreased skin roughness.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Since the amount of silica found in food today is very low, because it is usually found in the skin or outer layers of food and is removed during processing, we need to be aware of the <a class="link-external" href="http://www.vitalhealthzone.com/nutrition/nutrition-questions/Lesa-Rusher1/foods-with-highest-silica-content-amount-of-silica.html" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">foods with the highest amount of silica</a>, such as</span></div>

<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">bananas (yellow, peeled), beer, high bran cereal, wholegrain bread, raisins, cooked green beans, peeled raw carrots, brown rice and certain mineral waters such as <a class="link-external" href="http://chriskresser.com/nutrition-for-healthy-skin-silica-niacin-vitamin-k2-and-probiotics" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">Fiji brand water</a>.</span></b></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">UV radiation from the sun is <a class="link-external" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19138021" sl-processed="1" target="_blank">responsible for damaging the internal protein structure of hair</a> and can eventually weaken it. As with skin, the lighter the colour of your hair, the more affected it will be, as Melanin in hair serves as a protective barrier from sun damage.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">If you happen to live in or holiday at a place with strong sunshine and you intend to be outdoors for an extended period, wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from UV damage and the associated loss in strength. Sunscreen is just as effective on skin as it is on hair too.</span></div>

I apologize for disappearing for such a long time - my country has been going through some very tough times over the last 5 months and it's become impossible for me to keep up with everything exciting happening in Kylie's music/TV career and around the world.<br />

*UPDATE*<br />
The video is here :) Happy Birthday Kylie!! (p.s. she did watch it, btw ;)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is one of two new judges on talent show The Voice, which returns on Saturday, but getting the 5ft Aussie to actually hit her buzzer and spin her chair around in approval might be tougher than the wannabes would hope.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chatting backstage at the BBC studios in Salford, Greater Manchester, Kylie admits she cannot make decisions, which, she points out, makes judging tricky.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She giggles: <i><b>“I don’t like decisions at the best of times, this is constant decision-making, so it’s just having to go with that gut reaction.”</b></i></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, after years of singing and acting, Kylie thinks – or possibly fears – the real her is about to be revealed.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 1.4em;">Kylie has never been one to let criticism stand in her way and she has shrugged off snobbishness about her Neighbours roots and cheesy pop career to become an honorary national treasure here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.4em; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.4em; text-align: center;">At 45 she is still a pin-up, and has rocketed to worldwide fame, with more than 70 million record sales around the globe, seven UK number ones and a string of awards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But despite her wealth of experience, the decision over whether to take the judging role was tricky.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kylie was close to signing up in 2012 when The Voice was first launched, but she wavered. There were allegedly rows about money, but she insists it was the prospect of showing her emotions in front of the camera that terrified her most and made her stall until now.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She says: <i><b>“I had a meeting and Mr will.i.am bombed it.

Literally And In Pictures! ;)A few weeks ago I stumbled upon these really funny illustrations of some very popular and often heard English expressions. As a teacher and a person who studied the language from the scratch, I have faced very similar misunderstandings myself. They say English is an easy language to learn, and I agree, but sometimes, the literal translation of such expressions can cause you some real funny (and sometimes, uncomfortable) situations :D So, have fun... and learn English if you haven't done it yet!<br />

From the words of a person who heard the song (thanks!):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"The song is classic Kylie sounding. Starts and end with a 90s housey piano and very lush melancholy strings. Not a dance song per say about 116-118 bpm, but remixes could be great. I would say in feeling it's a little bit "aprhodite" a little bit "no more rain" from X. The chorus is anthemic and she sings into the blu-uuuuu-uuuuuuu an a gorgeous high falsetto. The break down and end have some gorgeous falsetto ad libs. I think any long time K fan should be very happy as it fits into her catalogue beautifully!"</i></span></span></div>

This is what Kylie herself has to say about her new single, <i><b>Into The Blue</b></i>:<br />
"<i style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: none; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We have the first single. All the people who listened to it told me that it was undoubtedly a ‘Kylie song’. Let’s say it is a mix between that part avant-garde 'Slow’ had or, at least, really different from the pop then this classic side found in the ‘Love At First Sight’ and its modern, contemporary, ‘[Can't] Get You Out of My Head’. </span><span style="border: none; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yes, I think it is really a ‘Kylie song’ whatever the definition given to it.
