Learn How To Detox From Sugar After Halloween

| |

I feel so lousy this morning. I got involved with the kids and their Halloween candy last night, and I am so sorry that I did. It seemed so harmless at the time....
I know I need to learn how to detox from sugar because this morning, it feels like I went out drinking with my Penn State College buddies! And had a drinking contest to see who could down the most beers in an hour! That's what it feels like anyway. My head hurts. My stomach is queasy. I have no energy. And I have a killer jammed pack schedule to get through. What was I thinking?
Hind sight is 20-20 and I can't take it back! Just file away in my memory bank so I don't fall down that same trap again. In the meantime, how am I going to get through today?

Tacfit Commando Review - Scott Sonnon's Military Fitness Program Review

| |

The Tacfit Commando fitness program is not your "run of the mill" workout program. It is less focused upon getting you to look better but more on getting you to a whole new physical ability level.
The program is the creation of Scott Sonnon, noted trainer, and is used by various elite outfits all over the world, including units in the Israeli army, anti-terrorism squads, bodyguards, law enforcement agencies, and martial art fighters.
These guys care less about getting huge muscles than they do about getting their body to perform at the top most level and be able to push themselves to greater heights of ability. In many cases, their job not only requires it, their life may depend on it too.

White Contact Lenses Not Just For Halloween

| |

The color of the iris portion of the human eye is either: brown, green, gray, blue, or a combination of colors, such as amber or hazel. The only part of the eye that is naturally white is the sclera. So when people encounter a person whose complete eye appears 'white', they might be grossed out. There is no need for such a reaction, as 'white eyes' are not the result of any strange medical conditions but rather white contact lenses. What are white contact lenses? White contact lenses are special types of color contacts that make the eye appear white. They come in three different varieties: those with no special effects, those that glow in the dark and those that cover the entire eye, blinding it.
The most common white contacts are those that contain no special effects. They cover only the iris, allowing the pupil, (the black circle part of the eye), to still show. These types of contact lenses can cover any type of iris, even those that are naturally very dark. Appearance-wise, while they are white, they are usually not as white as the sclera surrounding the iris. In essence, they just make the eye look like it has a very light-colored iris.

Be Frugal - It's Easier Than You Think to Make Your Own Halloween Mummy!

How to Make a Halloween Mummy
Hanging pretend thick spider webs and home-made lanterns using Halloween pumpkins have become traditional, but here is an original way to decorate your home for your Halloween party. Try to remember to save all of your old newspapers before Halloween since you will need a large number to make your mummy. Make all the body parts from newspaper and tape everything together. If you have some bandages, wrap them around the body parts, but don't worry if you think bandages are too expensive as you can use white toilet paper. Obviously plain white toilet paper, which is very effective, provided you don't use paper with a flowery design as this will ruin the ghostly effect.

Halloween Costumes and Halloween Culture in Norway

| |

In Norway people dress up in their "Halloween-kostymer". But they surely are not too familiar with history behind the party.
Halloween has history traces back to the Celtics in Ireland and their ancient religion. The Celtic people were pretty conscious of the spiritual world and created their own ideas of how they could access to it - such as by helping their more than 300 gods to crush their enemies in battle, or by doing imitations of the gods by showing cleverness and cunning skills.
The Celtics had two big feasts, in the beginning of summer they have Beltane (May 1), and in the end of summer they celebrate Samhain (Nov. 1). They truly believed that Samhain was a time when the split between the two worlds became very slim, and dangerous, supernatural troublemakers were active and spirits were free to wander wherever they felt like.
During this small period, the normal order of the universe was forgotten, and the natural and the supernatural gets its barriers temporarily removed, the side lies open and all unknown beings and the spirits of the dead wander freely among men and sometimes interfere violently, in their affairs.
Some Celtic priests carried out the rituals were called Druids, and were members of pagan orders in Britain, Ireland and Gaul. They generally performed their rituals with offering sacrifices, mostly of crops and animals, but even sometimes of humans, just in order to please the gods to ensure that the sun would return in the end of the winter and also frightening away evil spirits.
Norwegians dress up this day as ghosts, marvel-heroes, pirates and others. But, do the Norwegians know what really happened? I do not think so. When joining this private party at my friends I actually asked most of the participants joining the party if they knew the history of Halloween. In fact many did not know. Despite so many people connecting now with this tradition in Norway, this is fairly not as known as it should be.
I am very fascinated with these traditions, and would like more Norwegians to know about the history. I have made a web-page where I am including as much relevant information about the topic that I can find.
