New Cosmopolitan Magazine



I have been reading the new Cosmopolitan magazine cover to cover like usual and i found some very interesting tidbits that i thought i should share.

There was an article about five spa treatments that one could do at home. I think this is a great article because i always love going to the spa but spas are really expensive. The first thing the article mentions is different ways to get a good nights sleep. It says to do relaxation techniques during the day and not just at night. It also mentions giving yourself a foot massage right before you go to sleep so your body becomes more relaxed to fall asleep. Also, if you press the space between your thumb and forefinger it slows your heart rate down. I tried the last two tidbits and i realized that doing these calming techniques only help if you tell yourself to relax and stay calm throughout the day.

Fun Fact: Many companies are creating nap rooms for employees to solve the typical mid-afternoon exhaustion. Apparently, experts say a power nap can enhance a persons creativity and mood. Who Knew!

Interesting Fact: A weird behavior guys do not understand about girls is when they decide to go to pricey fat free yogurt places because they think it is healthier. Guys feel even if its frozen yogurt it is still desert and unhealthy. Guys feel girls should stop pretending frozen yogurt is healthy when it is just another dessert.

I think the nap idea is a good one. Employees would be much more productive if they were able to just lay down and rest for 15 minutes before the afternoon slump kicks in and they need to resort to that afternoon cup of coffee.
