Happy 2012! Tatchme’s New Year Skin Care and Beauty Resolutions.

  
  
  

Tatchme wishes you all very Happy New Year. Loads and loads of love and best wishes for all of our dearest friends!

We like to share with you our top five clock-stopping beauty secrets:

 

  1. Wear sunscreen everyday (at least SPF 30) - Sun damage means wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and loss of elasticity and skin firmness.
  2. Quit smoking - The nicotine from cigarette smoke affects capillaries in the face, reducing the amount of oxygen it receives. That results in more and deeper wrinkles and drier skin.Reduce alcoholic drinks.
  3. Reduce alcoholic drinks - Alcohol accelerates skin aging and excess alcohol is a recipe for wrinkles and ill health.
  4. Cut back on sugary treats – They reduce collagen’s regenerative ability and increasing collagen breakdown by making it stiff and inflexible.
  5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! - Drink a lot of water and keep your skin moisturized, all day long.

Rebecca BotzemAnd of course, TAKE TIME FOR YOU: don’t forget to make yourself the number one priority during the year. We all know that stress from everyday life can take its toll on your skin, causing breakouts as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Do something relaxing for yourself: get a massage, take a bath, or even an occasional glass of wine will help you de-stress from a long day.

New Year, New You!

 

2012 will be a very excited year for Tatchme. We are about to present Tatchme's new body and spa line and planning many launch events around the world... Stay tuned!  www.tatchme.com

Happy Chinese New Year 2011: The year of the Rabbit

Chinese New Year 2011 begins with the New Moon on the first day of the new year (February 3) and ends on the full moon 15 days later (February 17). 

The Rabbit is the 4th symbol in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. If you were born in 1903, 1915, 1927, 1938, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987 or 1999, your Chinese Zodiac Sign is the Rabbit.

Babies born in 2011 will be under this sign as well.

<b>MORE ON THE PERCEPTION OF TIME</b>

  
  
  

 

Professor Philip Zimbardo conveys how our individual perspectives of time affect our work, health and well-being. Time influences who we are as a person, how we view relationships and how we act in the world.

<b>TIME IS AN INTERPRETATION</b>

  
  
  

 

One of the things that influence how the body functions is our interpretation of our experience of TIME.

We tend to think that there is such a thing called TIME. But ask a physicist: is TIME a thing or a notion? Is TIME something concrete or just a concept to explain how we experience change in our environment?

Sir Thomas Gold, an eminent physicist, said: "No experiment has ever been done that proves the existence of TIME."

In other words, TIME is an internal dialogue.

How this apply to us? Few examples will make it clear.

The other day, I took a flight from New York to Paris and I met an old friend of mine. I was having such a good TIME, that TIME flew. The flight took over 7 hours, but for us it seemed that we were there in few minutes. We forgot to eat, to sleep; when we got there we didn't even have jet leg!

What happened? Well, as a result of that notion that TIME was flying, our biology was also affected.

Or, you come across people who say "I am running out of TIME". They have ten deadlines to meet; they are constantly trying to beat time. They watch the same clock, but for them it is moving faster, as a result of their internal perception of time.

If you measure such a person's biological responses, you find that their heart rate is faster, their insulin level is higher, their blood sugar fluctuates much more, their blood pressure is higher, etc. When they suddenly drop dead at a certain age, then TIME has run out.

Meet another person and his internal dialogue is "I have all the TIME in the world". You find that his blood pressure is slower; his biological responses are much smoother. And he lives a longer TIME.

Another person may have used this expression "The beauty of the mountain was breathtaking, TIME stood still". When TIME stands still, breath come to a standstill. Breath and TIME are both the movements of thoughts. In a moment of unity, a peak experience is the all reason of the existence of heart. This is the reason why to look at art, or why we listen to music, or why we enjoy nature.

When the beauty completely overwhelms us, though comes to a standstill. In these moments, the experience of changing the body comes to a standstill. Breath stops, and biological functions go to a level of silence. In fact, the aging process stops in those moments.

All these experiences of TIME are interpretations.
