Bathroom trends
Will you be renovating your bathroom in the coming months, and would you like to keep up with the latest interior design trends?
**1.Terrazzo**
Terrazzo is an artificially created stone surface created by inserting stone particles into a cement or epoxy surface. Because it is resistant to moisture and heat and easy to maintain and clean, it is an ideal material for bathrooms. It can be used to cover both floors and walls.
Terrazzo was one of the most popular materials in the 1970s, and is now making a comeback in fashion and use. Today, it is produced in many forms of design and colors, so it can greatly enrich the space
**2.Marble**
With the year 2021, marble is also returning in great style. Especially in white, gray or reddish. Marble will give your bathroom an elegant, even royal touch.
As it is one of the more expensive and quite sensitive materials - it requires a lot of care in cleaning and maintenance - many people prefer to consider a cheaper substitute: porcelain or ceramic tiles with the appearance of marble.
**3.Small tiles and tiles with geometric patterns**
If you end up choosing tile as your floor or wall covering for your new bathroom, choose ones with geometric patterns, such as simple lines. Or mosaic tiles or those that give the impression that an opaque number of small tiles have been laid on the wall. This is exactly what will be in trend next year, writes the New Decor Trends website.
**4.Natural materials such as wood and stone**
The trend of 2021 is also to incorporate natural materials into the bathroom if at all possible. Wood still predominates among them. Wooden furniture will give your bathroom a warm touch. Some people even manage to include mosaics made of real stones in the bathroom, whether they decorate the floor or even one of the walls. Those who are willing to go a step further can consider a sink made of real stone.
And if you may be in doubt which of the natural materials to choose, let me give you a hint: you can combine both together. Connoisseurs ensure that wood and stone complement each other perfectly.
**5.Golden details**
Surely you have noticed in the shots or photos of the famous and rich that many have gilded faucets in the bathrooms, buttons for flushing toilets, even golden bathtubs or shower stalls. But you don't have to be outrageously rich to bring a touch of prestige and elegance to your bathroom as well.
If you want your bathroom to match the latest trends, take into account the fact that the color of 2021 is gold, and simply add details in shades of gold, where it is an imitation of gold and not real gold. You can imagine a mirror with a gold frame, a gold towel rack, a gold brush holder, or a gold hand soap base.
You can also bring gold into the bathroom by covering the wall, which is not tiled from floor to ceiling, with wallpaper in gold tones, or by hanging a framed printed matter, a photograph or a picture in a gold frame.

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a very powerful antioxidant that belongs to the group of polyphenols, and its active ingredients have long gone beyond the field of cardiovascular protection. Many scientists agree that this active ingredient is one of the greatest discoveries of the last twenty years. In addition to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, resveratrol also protects our cells from destructive free radicals, lowers bad and raises good cholesterol, helps reduce the chances of developing diabetes, and gives our cells energy and therefore more in especially great help when dealing with chronic fatigue.
But that's not all: Resveratrol also inhibits the aging of cells and consequently the whole organism. This will be especially pleasing to all of you who are striving to live longer in any way.
***What are the best sources of resveratrol?***
The best sources of resveratrol are definitely red wine and Japanese knotweed. The latter is said to be the highest quality source of this extremely powerful antioxidant. In addition to red grapes and Japanese knotweed, some resveratrol also contains peanut butter, dark chocolate and blueberries, as well as some types of pine.
***Positive effects for our body:***
Resveratrol acts directly on our cells, as it increases the activation of the SIRT1 protein, thereby greatly contributing to better cell regeneration, reducing their death and improving their metabolism.
Even before there were studies confirming the effects of resveratrol in maintaining eternal youth, this powerful antioxidant was used in traditional Asian medicine to treat high blood pressure. Resveratrol also has many positive effects on the health of our heart and blood vessels. It reduces the risk of blood clots and regulates blood triglyceride levels.
***It also helps with excess fat:***
Resveratrol also works well against the accumulation of excess body fat, as it contains a natural compound that can attack fat cells and break them down. In one study, rats ate a high-calorie, high-saturated fat diet, but did not gain weight due to resveratrol consumption - in contrast, rats in the control group did not receive resveratrol.
This miraculous antioxidant has also been shown to be effective in defending against various cancers. It should be noted that quite large amounts of this antioxidant have been used in studies dealing with such effects of resveratrol. Otherwise, resveratrol is associated primarily with a reduced risk of developing cancer of the colon and rectum, which is today one of the most common cancers in our country.
Resveatrol is definitely an antioxidant that deserves all and even more attention given to it. It is now possible to get dietary supplements containing this powerful antioxidant in our market as well.
***Where to find resveratrol?***
It is found in nature in many plants, but it is mostly found in the skin of red grapes, in red grapes (blueberries, blackberries), in the peel of peanuts, in spruce needles, eucalyptus leaves and in Japanese buckthorn, which is the best natural in addition to grapes. vir.
It is also abundant in red wine, where in the process of squeezing grape juice, the rest of the solid mass, which contains mainly the skin of the strawberry clusters, is not removed immediately. Thus, resveratrol is also excreted into the juice, which is later found in red wine. And why do plants make it at all? Resveratrol is a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent that protects grapes and other plants from attacks by microorganisms, especially mold.
***The French paradox***
Did you know that the famous "French paradox" is associated with the action of resveratrol? And what exactly is the basis of the “French paradox”? For decades, health researchers have been wondering why the Mediterranean nations are healthier than other European nations, especially when it comes to cardiovascular disease. At first, it was assumed that the reason for this was the Mediterranean diet, ie a diet rich in vegetables and olive oil.
But after the analysis, they found that the French are equally healthy, who eat a lot of butter instead of olive oil, ie solid saturated fats with a lot of cholesterol. However, they drink a glass or two of wine, especially red wine, at meals. The researchers thus concluded that the French (despite a relatively large amount of saturated fat and cholesterol) have, on average, a healthier heart and blood vessels, which they attribute to resveratrol in red wine, alcohol itself, and rest after meals.
***With resveratrol over cholesterol?***
It is known to be one of the most powerful antioxidants and activator of many biochemical processes in the body and cells, leading to the protective action of the cardiovascular system. This is probably one of the most likely positive effects of resveratrol, which will be seen with years of taking preparations containing this active ingredient. In experimental animals, it reduced the concentration of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and corrected the ratio of bad to good cholesterol (HDL). Thus, resveratrol helps to strengthen blood vessel walls and reduce the progression of atherosclerosis.
It also reduces the likelihood of developing pre-diabetic conditions and diabetes, and is also thought to work against the growth of certain cancer cells in animal models and in laboratory conditions.
***Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant in the fight against aging and free radicals***
Of course, it is also associated with the eternal theme of rejuvenation, as some antioxidants are said to inhibit the aging process. Physiological aging of tissues and the organism is only one of the factors, and the actual appearance of the body depends on genetics, environmental influences, diseases and the general condition of the organism. Unfortunately, we do not yet know the magic molecule that would significantly rejuvenate us.
***Resveratrol in the form of a dietary supplement***
Resveratrol is marketed in the developed world, especially in the USA, the EU and Japan, as a dietary supplement.

Greetings to all from @Cutecat
Various manipulation techniques were mostly used by our parents during childhood (unconsciously)
And they certainly left these consequences on us that we still carry today.
The point in childhood should be for the child to learn to trust in themselves. If his surroundings deny his emotions and needs as a child, perhaps even what he sees, hears or feels ... this can cause lifelong self-doubts.
**Many people grew up in families where their emotions were denied or. pushed aside, no one dealt with them, they were ignored, unnecessary, irrelevant ...**
***The child thus begins to doubt his own truth and also his own value. And this accompanies him throughout his life if he does not consciously heal it.***
Denying a child’s feelings causes a sense of confusion about what is true and what is not. He loses his sense of confidence. He then looks for answers somewhere outside of himself what is right for him; which feelings are then correct and accepted? How should I feel to be okay? And he is looking outside himself, never inside himself again, as his feelings were obviously wrong ...
***As a result, the child (and later also as an adult) finds it difficult to make decisions, becomes increasingly dependent on others, increases feelings of anxiety or learns to avoid or. escape.***
The stress a child experiences when he denies his truth and his needs is an emotional abuse, and the consequences are usually transferred to adult life.
If situations where someone disregards your feelings cause you discomfort in adulthood, imagine how a small helpless soul in a child’s body experiences this.
When we said something as a child, when we did something, when we felt something, and we were ignored, we gained a sense of worthlessness, perhaps even shame or guilt.
Later, this can also result in feelings of panic, dizziness, anxiety, and so on. The biggest problem is if our loved ones don't take it seriously again and wave their hand, saying that we are imagining something, or that we should "get over it" because "there is nothing". Thus we re-experience the denial of what we feel. **The pain only gets worse. And we are beginning to believe that something is wrong with us.**
Many children had to do something they didn’t like in their childhood, or they weren’t allowed to do what they wanted. Many children’s parents didn’t ask what they really wanted, but rather suggested to them themselves what it was that they should like, how they should think, and how they should feel about their rules.
Maybe they were yelling at them or punishing them with silence. The child finds it difficult to grasp the meaning of either one or the other. He finds it hard to understand why someone is angry at him, especially if someone is angry when he expresses himself. This can cause a lot of anxiety.
Later, many teenagers start using alcohol, drugs, or other substances and the ways they patch their wounds. Some overdo it with food, others with excessive exercise, and so on. Everyone finds their own way.
To love and appreciate oneself thus becomes a very distant concept......
***The first thing we need to do is allow ourselves to feel and see all that we have denied within ourselves for years. This is not an easy job. For many years we denied ourselves and acted against ourselves.***
**The healing path begins when we allow ourselves to feel what we feel, whatever it is, okay.**
And just like we were treated by our parents ... That’s how we usually treat others when we’re adults.
If the parents yelled at us, we will yell at our partner. If our parents punished us with ignorance or silence, so will we punish our partner.
***And no, we can’t change the past and what happened to us, but we can change the way we treat ourselves and others TODAY.***
When certain feelings arise, we do not suppress or deny them, we take a deep breath in and out, and we consciously begin to observe ourselves. We sit with our feelings. I observe them and make friends with them. We do not judge.
In adulthood, certain (even completely banal) situations can cause us old wounds and traumas of being rejected, not getting the love and acceptance of someone else as we would like.
Once again, we need to remember that there is nothing wrong with these feelings.
All this rumor about what is “good, bad, right, wrong” is the reason we don’t know how to accept and appreciate who we really are.
But we need to see misunderstandings as to why we believe in something. We will not consciously notice this because our thoughts create stories based on our old experiences and actions.
Our true emotions and feelings are a habit in the subconscious memory. Why? Because when we felt something, we didn’t have emotional maturity yet, so our psyche preferred to push it into the subconscious.
***Now, as adults, however, we can access our subconscious memory and tackle our shadows.***
We need to find our inner child who needs treatment. As we go through the process of healing our childish “shadows,” we become more and more compassionate and loving to ourselves and others.
Working with shadows begins by observing what "triggers" us or. what causes difficult feelings in us. **What does someone do to keep us from feeling worthy? To feel rejected?**
Don’t blame yourself, don’t blame others ... take a deep breath and allow yourself to feel what you feel.
People who cause bad feelings in us or. they “trigger” us, usually just reflecting what we carry within us. They show us how we treat ourselves. They show where we need healing and love.
For example, if someone ignores us, it opens up feelings and wounds of abandonment and dislike in us. **In a moment like this, it’s important to notice how we reject ourselves and why we don’t love ourselves.**
***Unsustainable situations in relationships happen for a reason because they require confrontation with oneself.***
It is also a good exercise to write down the reasons why we are sad / disappointed / angry. We just have to be careful not to blame other people for this, but to focus on ourselves and our feelings.
We have the usual protection within us that does not allow us to see or feel our pain quite clearly. Therefore, a good measure of compassion is needed to see things honestly and clearly.
Most often, feelings come to light that we are not good enough, worthy or loved enough.
We need to realize that these are misunderstandings ... that something has happened to us in the past and that we need to welcome it now.
**To finally give our inner child unconditional acceptance, compassion, love, and true understanding.**
To connect our mind and body with our truth: that we are worthy and loved. That we are exactly enough as we are.
When we come to this truth, energies begin to flow differently through our body. It changes our view and perception of ourselves, others and the whole reality, which is of course only a reflection of our energy.

Surfing dogs
Hello @cashreaders
How are you today? I am newbie here and i hope you will like my articles.
Today i want to write you about funny thing.So lets start......
Just like humans, dogs can learn until late in life. How much we can teach our dog, regardless of his age, largely depends on our ability to know how to show him in an understandable way what we want from him.
We must present him as unambiguously as possible the behavior we expect of him, and confirm his every step towards the goal with praise or reward. We can help him with the bait to a certain position. In this case, the puppy will look us in the eye and wait for instructions.
Surfing champion Chris de Aboitiz, who is also a dog trainer, lives in Australia (Sydney). Wanting to combine the two things that make him happy, he decided to pass on his surfing skills to furry friends - he started teaching dogs to surf.
Not only did he teach two of his rescues how to stand stably on the board without falling - he even taught them to move and position so that all three together optimally ride each wave that comes.

Teaching a dog to surf is all a matter of discipline, as with children. The dogs are left to be curious to observe the surroundings, but when they are on the board, they do what Sam tells them. Now he travels around Australia with all 4 adopted puppies and passes on his knowledge to other dog owners. He teaches them how to raise dogs with their unique methods. He also regularly visits shelters and educates volunteers there. In this way, they also know how, in addition to love, to offer rescued dogs a proper upbringing.
**The largest annual competition called the “Surf City Surf Dog Competition” takes place on the famous beach in Huntington, California. In 2012, they even set a Guinness World Record in San Diego - as many as 18 of man’s best friends stood on a board at once and rode a wave.**
**Impressive!!!!!!!**
So here is great idea if you have dog and you know how to surf.
