Hace más de un año me realicé una técnica estética que me recomendaron para evitar la cirugía de nariz o rinoplastia. Después de leer mucho acerca de la rinomodelación, decidí probarlo y tener mi propia experiencia.Es realizada bajo sustancias absorbibles por el cuerpo humano y por este motivo, se trata de una modificación saludable, eficiente pero temporal. Mi médico estético me habló de que la duración varía de acuerdo a la sustancia utilizada y la tipología de la persona, me dijo que los resultados podrían conservarse de 20 a 25 meses. Desde mi adolescencia me ha parecido que mi contorno nasal no se corresponde al resto de mi cara, además de tener una grave desviación de tabique nasal que me provoca mayores irregularidades. Con esta técnica estética conseguí que mejoraran al menos 3 grandes problemas que solía tener con mi nariz: 1. Modificó el aspecto de la punta de mi nariz, la hizo más fina y delicada. 2. Corrigió los desniveles e irregularidades ocasionados por la desviación de mi tabique nasal. 3. Mejoró en gran medida el aspecto de mi giba nasal. Antes de realizarme este procedimiento, mi médico me aclaró que era una técnica con fines estéticos únicamente y que no modificaría mis demás problemas respiratorios, por tanto, me refirió directamente al otorrinolaringólogo. Durante este procedimiento estético pueden utilizar diversas sustancias, en mi caso mi médico optó por utilizar el ácido hialurónico, ya que era el que tenía mejor biocompatibilidad y sería capaz de solventar mis problemas estéticos nasales. Una vez que comenzó el procedimiento, mi médico me colocó un poco de anestesia tópica para disminuir las molestias de la inyección de la sustancia. Los resultados estéticos de la rinomodelación son inmediatos y en mi caso, fue un procedimiento realizado de forma ambulatoria y en un período no mayor a los 20 minutos. Quizás uno de los factores que llamó mi atención sobre este procedimiento es que no requiere de hospitalización, entablillado de nariz u otros post-operatorios que suelen ser una molestia. La recuperación de esta técnica estética es sencilla, basta con no tocar la zona tratada en un lapso de 48 horas y no utilizar lentes. Así mismo, mi médico me prohibió otros tratamientos faciales, hacer ejercicios, ir a la sauna o practicar deportes extremos durante 7 días después del procedimiento. Lo único que noté una vez que salí de la clínica fue una pequeña ruboración en la zona tratada, no obstante, mi médico me aclaró que era algo natural del procedimiento. Me siento conforme con este procedimiento estético, para mí ha sido una solución rápida (aunque temporal) para mis problemas físicos nasales. 

- ¿Ves la temperatura del agua? -le pregunté a mi reflejo.- Esta a 3 ° C. -respondió él.- ¿Por qué? -preguntó de vuelta.- Porque ni aun así se podría apagar la frustración que inunda mi cabeza. -comencé a explicarle sentándome en el piso, a un lado de la bañera, mientras esta se llenaba. - Observa bien, -le dije- mis brazos están heridos. ¿Ves toda la sangre que corre de mi pecho? Mis piernas ya no pueden moverse, el dolor es muy grande, mis pies están hinchados y ya no puedo seguir caminando. -Podría jurar que perdió todas esas cosas; era tan real, incluso diría que podría palpar la sangre.-¿Te duele mucho? -preguntó, parecía preocupada.- Sí, demasiado.- ¿En serio? ¿Y eso qué? -regresó a su indiferencia.- Que seguiremos en este tormento. -Me recargue a un lado de la bañera; ya no me enfrentas con fuerzas.- No. -Dijo puesta en pie con una firmeza que no había escuchado antes. - Eso es lo que a ti te atormenta; yo, en realidad no existo. -Dijo, viendo el agua caer de la llave.- ¿De qué hablas? -pregunté siguiendo su mirada, incorporándome en pie.- De todo. ¿Has visto alguna vez tu propio rostro? -Preguntó seriamente. Yo estaba a punto de asentir cuando mi reflejo respondió.- No es así -se respondió a si misma, aún sin verme a los ojos.- Por supuesto, lo visto millones de veces. -respondí tajante.- No es verdad, solo ves lo que tu mente quiere que veas; y mueres a como ella te aconseja.- Dices que no he visto nunca mi rostro, -dije frunciendo el ceño- pero puedo verte a ti. -Ella volvió su mirada a mí.- Entonces, si me ves, haz caso a lo que digo.- ¿A qué te refieres? ¿Qué haz dicho? -murmura expectante. Ella esbozó una leve sonrisa, apenas perceptible.- Mira tus brazos. -dijo levantando la voz; al mismo tiempo que toma mis manos.- Mira tus brazos no están heridos, -dijo extendiendo sus propios brazos, - mira tu pecho en realidad no sangra; mira tus piernas aun se mueven, mira tus pies no están hinchados. -cuando terminó de decir esto, ya estaba en el suelo otra vez.- ¿Y eso qué tiene? -pregunté sollozando.- ¿Qué es lo que te impide continuar?- En realidad no lo sé. -dije antes de llorar por completo.- ¡Solo es tu mente! ¡Solo es algo vano! ¡Solo es algo, abstracto! -finalizó.- ¿Y qué haces aquí? ¿Cuál es tu trabajo?- Salvarte a ti.- ¿Cómo lo harás?- Abriendo tus ojos. ¿Sabes qué es lo que te impide estar de pie?- Mis piernas -dije volviendo el rostro al suelo.- ¡No! -volvió a decir- ¿No lo entiendes? ¡Es tu mente! ¡Son tus pensamientos!- ¿Pero de qué hablas? ¿Tu no vienes de mi mente?- No; yo vengo de ahí. -dijo señalando mi pecho. - De tu corazón. -finalizó.- ¿Entonces, me quieres ayudar?- Por supuesto. -Hizo una pausa.- Como ya te había dicho, estoy aquí para abrirte los ojos, para decirte la verdad que tu mente no te deja ver.- ¿Y, cuál es la verdad?- Que puedes hacerlo.- ¿Hacer qué?- Que hacer; todos los sueños que ha tenido, todos los planos y las metas que ha trazado. ¿Ya es tiempo no crees? -finalizó volviendo un sonreír brevemente.- ¿Tiempo de qué?- De quererte un poco, de tomarte en cuenta, de caminar a la derecha mientras sonríes; de amarte a ti misma. Porque es tu propia mente la que a veces miente, te destroza y te desanima, te llena de intrigas y de desanima. -Ambas respiramos hondo.- ¡Pero ya basta! ¡Ya es suficiente! Ya es tiempo de que empieces a creer en ti, recupera el valor, levanta la vista, seca las lágrimas y sonríe al mundo. Escucha hay personas que dicen que para evitar un momento incómodo la risa es el mejor instrumento, y eso es cierto; es cierto no todo es risa; pero tampoco todo es llanto, puedes reír y puedes amar. Ya te ha lamentado demasiado y ahora es tiempo de ser feliz.Perdí la noción de lo que pasaba al rededor mientras yo hablaba, y de pronto, me descubrí sonriendo, pesar de las lágrimas que aún podía sentir en las mejillas estaba sonriendo, por fin, después de tanto tiempo, y no era una risa fingida , era vivacidad autentica.- Tienes razón. La única razón para que una persona no sea feliz es porque no lo intenta; sí, es cierto que tenemos problemas, ¿pero, quien no los tiene?- ¡Exacto!- Sí, vale la pena vivir.

A few days ago my sister turned years and although I have no experience in baking, I love chocolate cupcakes. At first I did not think they would be like the pictures I saw on the internet, however, the final result left me very pleased.To make this recipe we need very basic ingredients that we usually find in the pantry of our house. Do not worry if you have not prepared cupcakes or cakes at other times, you really don’t need to be an expert to make these delicious chocolate cupcakes.Its spongy texture and the rich taste of sweet chocolate remind me of a cake my grandmother made many years ago. I want to share my learning with the Goletrax community and get everyone to be able to make homemade chocolate cupcakes.Ingredients:As I said before, this recipe does not require exotic ingredients or anything similar, it is common ingredients that can be found in the kitchen of our house.• ½ cup of butter at normal temperature• 1 cup of hot water• 1 1/3 cups wheat flour• ½ cup of cocoa• 1 teaspoon baking powder• ½ teaspoon of baking soda• 1 cup of brown sugar• 2 eggs• 2 teaspoons vanilla• 1 pinch of salt• Chocolate chips for garnishThe preparation is very basic and I am sure they will have a lot of fun. To make these cupcakes we need a blender, a bowl to beat, a wooden pallet and cupcake cups the size of the tray.To begin with, we must make sure to preheat the oven to 180°C. We add the cocoa to the hot water and begin to mix with the wooden pallet until we obtain a homogeneous mixture, leaving it aside while it is tempered.Next, we make the union of the baking soda, the salt, the flour and the baking powder, making sure to sift the mixture. Then, we beat the butter for a minute and begin to add the sugar little by little. It is time to add eggs and vanilla.At this point of the preparation we must add the flour mixture to the butter, making sure to sift well to avoid the lumps. Once we have all of this incorporated, we add the cocoa mixture and beat until everything is unified evenly.It's almost time to put our cupcakes in the oven, but first we must put the chocolate chips to the mix. Once we have the cups in the cupcake tray we should start filling them, measuring a little over half the layer.The final moment has come: bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes at about 180°C. To check that they are ready, we can introduce a wooden stick in the middle of one of the cups, observing if it comes out wet from raw mix or if it is already cooked inside.A good tip: swirl the chocolate chips before placing them in the mixture, this will prevent them from sinking or if they melt completely with the heat and remember not to open the oven during the cooking of the cupcakes.The final result will be soft and rich cupcakes, which you can decorate with melted chocolate. I hope this recipe has been useful to you and that, like me, you are encouraged to try it.

Against our best wishes, the new year is almost halfway through and a vast majority of our New Year resolutions are yet to see the light of day. A whopping 40% of Americans are predicted to have weight-loss as a part of their 2018 resolution. Given the prevalence of hacks and our passion for DIY fixes, I have collated some of the expert opinions on easy weight loss in this new year. The list presented below highlights the easiest tips to reduce your scale numbers while ensuring you are energetically balanced to maintain your healthy lifestyle. 1. Diffuse the fluids: historically, Epsom salt has been used in various traditions as a weight loss tactic and various celebrities have reportedly soaked themselves in the substance before events to diffuse excess bodily fluids from her amazing body to her bathtub.2. Stick with smoothies: As diverse studies have suggested, nutrient dense smoothies not only serve as antioxidants in our bodies, they readily induce weight loss. Also, including tofu in your morning smoothie not only increases your protein intake and creamy consistency, but it induces more weight loss. Opting for fluids such as smoothies on specific diets helps our bodies readily burn through its fat reserves.3. Never leave out your veggies: Regardless of the dish you crave or are already ordering, ensure a serving of salad is also ordered. This not only limits our eating capacity but offers immense metabolism benefits that induce weight loss. Moreover, to spice up your veggies intake, consider using a spiralizer to transform your veggies such as potatoes into veggie noodles.4. Alter your eating habits: Research has shown that eating on-the-go not only hampers meal experience but further increases meal dissatisfaction, leading to the consumption of greater proportions. Additionally, diverse studies have shown that gradually reducing your chinaware’s size over time controls your consumption capacity, ultimately allowing you to limit your caloric intake. Therefore, health-conscious people are encouraged to sit down for every meal while eating from a small chinaware.5. Minimize eating out: frequenting exotic restaurants and indulging in fanciful meals not only reduces our mental control over our meals and alters our dietary plan but in the long run increases or weight. It is advised that people seeking to lose weight purchase durable Tupperware set and plan their weekly meals, including lunch on weekends. Should your date be hesitant on you guys sharing a romantic meal, opt for a health-conscious restaurant or do date night in; where you can prepare and/or control every meal.The basic tenet of weight gain or loss is; Garbage in, Garbage out! So, take the high road by limiting your consumption patterns and gain the body you deserve this season.

Fashion Revolution Week is actually a cold, mournful week in the fashion industry; a day set aside for the sad remembrance of about 1, 138 persons that died in the building collapse of the Rana Plaza, in Bangladesh on 24th April 2013. The collapse further led to lots of casualties, some of whom, years later have not been able to get back to work. It was indeed a sad day, and a day that shed more light into the dark corners of the fashion industry, to reveal cobwebs that we have all refused to address a long time ago. The fact remains those who produce most of the clothes seen in markets are not doing so under suitable conditions.Fashion Revolution week is set aside to bring to the notice of the world the fact that a lot of persons who are tirelessly working in the backgrounds to produce most fashion items which we wear today are doing so in very unsafe environments. Highly underpaid workers being exploited by some fashion outfits, without any real continuous benefits. Fashion Revolution Week runs through 23rd to 29th April 2018 and is spearheaded by the organization ‘Fashion Revolution’ whose sole purpose is to seek a game-changing effect on the model which the fashion industry has been running on, bringing transparency, sustainability, and ethics in the fashion industry. It is no news that there are lots of underage workers in Asian countries earning less than $1 a day while working hard to amass wealth for their bosses. The organization is leading campaigns that wish for “a radical change in the way that clothing is produced, sourced and consumed so that fashion is much cleaner, safer and fairer for everybody and the environment too.” – Fashion RevolutionDuring this remembrance period, the organization suggests that people online and offline should ask fashion brands how their clothes were made, in order to better understand the conditions under which their wears were made. This can be done online by tagging your brand with a corresponding hashtag #whomademyclothes. In retrospect, if all necessary standards were duly maintained, there wouldn’t have been a need for a number of garment industries to have been situated in a substandard plaza. And the death of 1,138 persons could have been avoided.

Recuerdo que en la clase de español de la primaria en repetidas ocasiones los profesores me planteaban la pregunta: ¿qué son las palabras? Yo al quedarme sin ellas optaba por no responder; pero ahora lo entiendo, las palabras no son solo letras ordenadas por reglas lingüísticas, gramaticales u ortográficas, sino que son tristeza, felicidad, dolor, angustia o alegría, todo depende de nuestras emociones y sentimientos.Y así comienzas a internarte en esas palabras, en ese nuevo mundo que se ha ido creando, en esas letras, comienzas a entrar en una realidad, en el arte, en el amor, en la ficción, en un mundo casi palpable y así poco a poco encuentras la paz que te hacía falta y la cordura que un día perdiste.Las letras son vida y las palabras esperanza.-MarHern🔩

Odio las noches de insomnio, en donde aparece la frustración, y la culpa me embarga; en donde la decepción se hace presente; en donde las palabras atrapadas en mi garganta duelen amargamente; mi mente me atormenta día y noche; quisiera tener una pequeña vela, y que al soplarla todo lo malo que he hecho desaparezca, y así tener una oportunidad de redimir me.Y así tener una oportunidad de ver su sonrisa en el reflejo de la luna y poder decirle que le quiero.

Source: Electronic_worldIn recent times, detoxification has become a resounding buzz in the health sector. Lots of diets have been proposed to be among the best fits for detoxification. Lots of mixtures, exercises and monthly diet plans have been introduced too. Among all these proffered solutions lies a very simple alternative, which though commonly suggested is continuously ignored because of its seemingly simple approach — water detox. When it comes to issues that deal with health, people tend to believe that the most effective solutions have to be tedious in order to work. A regular intake of water is one of the most effective ways to detoxifying our system, at least to a greater extent when compared to other methods. Basically, it involves daily consumption of large quantities of water. This will go a long way to keep the body constantly hydrated, this will aid the organs — kidney, liver— in working fluidly to flush out toxins, while water itself will keep flushing wastes and lingering toxins out of the digestive system. On the high side, it helps maintain normal bodily functions, creating an environment most suitable for the organs to carry out their tasks. Sticking to 8 cups of water a day might seem like an uninteresting thing to do. As water on its own its own is tasteless, and might not be the first option that comes to your mind when you are thirsty, but there's soda in the fridge. This is where fruit infusion water comes in, an easy semi-mixture of detoxifying fruits and water to produce a nutrient-rich tasty, water. It is an infusion because the fruits are not entirely in a direct contact with water, but the contents of the fruits rather diffuse into the water. This is achieved using fruit infuser water bottles, which come with two chambers, one for the fruits and the other for water. The taste of the resulting water is entirely dependent on the fruits used, this dependency also affects the sort of extra nutrients to be gained. The water can be kept in a fridge to replace sodas, anytime one thirst for a drink. This is a more healthy sugar-free way to go about detoxifying the body.
