Are you drinking coffee so much?
An after-dinner espresso may taste great, but it can keep you up. Drinking the equivalent of a double espresso 3 hours before bedtime shifts the clock back by an average of 40 minutes.Although caffeine’s effects on alertness and sleep are well known, researchers weren't sure how it affects the circadian clock in humans. The researchers also found that human cells in the lab exposed to caffeine lengthened their circadian clocks, an effect that the researchers linked to molecules known to play a role in cells’ 24-hour rhythms. The work also suggests that drinking coffee at the right time can help people adjust more quickly to jet lag, which is due to the body’s clock being out of sync with the local time zone. Other research has shown that caffeine affects the circadian clock in animals such as fruit flies.

Hydrating Strawberry Facial
What you need: 10 fresh strawberries; ¼ cup bee pollen (sold at health-food stores); 3 tablespoons raw honey (health-food stores); 1 tablespoon olive oil mayonnaise; and a few drops of lavender essential oil.
How it works: Strawberries not only are rich in vitamin C but also contain alpha hydroxy acids, which exfoliate the skin. The grainy texture of the bee-pollen granules helps to exfoliate, too, allowing the honey, a potent humectant, to better penetrate the skin’s surface. Olive oil moisturizes and is infused with antioxidants; mayonnaise softens the skin while giving the whole shebang a rich, creamy texture. The lavender? Pure aromatherapy.
Do it yourself: Combine all the ingredients. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Relax for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Benefits of Walking
-It strengthens your heart
Regular walking has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. It lowers levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and keeps blood pressure in check.
-It lowers disease risk
A study in the British Medical Journal showed taking more steps every day can help ward off diabetes. And according to the charity Walking For Health, regular exercise such as walking could reduce risk by up to 60 per cent. Those of us who are active have around a 20 per cent lower risk of developing cancer of the colon, breast and womb than those least active.
-It keeps weight in check
-It can help prevent dementia
Dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six over 80. We know being active has a protective effect on brain function and regular exercise reduces dementia risk by up to 40 per cent. And, according to Age UK, older people who walk six miles or more per week could avoid brain shrinkage and so preserve memory as the years pass.
-It tones your legs, bum – and tum
A good walk can help strengthen and shape your legs, giving great definition to calves, quads, hamstrings and lifting your glutes (buttock muscles) – especially if you add hills. But if you really pay attention to your posture as you walk, it can tone your abs and whittle your waist, too.
- It boosts your vitamin D levels
-It gives you energy
It might seem like a paradox (and the last thing you might feel like) but a brisk walk is one of the best natural energizers around. It boosts circulation and increases oxygen supply to each and every cell in your body, helping you to feel more alert and alive.
- It makes you happy...

Some Things You Didn't Know About Pixar
1. Pixar Started Under George Lucas
Pixar
began under the wing of George Lucas as part of the computer division
of Lucasfilm in 1979. At that time the company was known as the Graphics
Group.
2. The Origin of the Pixar Logo Is a Lamp
Pixar's
very first animated short was "Luxo Jr." (1986), produced by John
Lasseter after he left Industrial Light and Magic. The short film, about
two desk lamps and a small rubber ball, became the company's signature
logo (you know, the intro before every Pixar film of the jumping lamp).
3. Steve Jobs Once Bought Pixar
Steve
Jobs was the co-founder and CEO of Pixar. Jobs bought the Graphics
Group from Lucasfilm in 1986 for $10 million, $5 million of which he
gave to the company as capital.
4. Steve Jobs Also Saved Pixar
In
fact, Jobs even saved Pixar from folding under at one point by
investing more money into it. This led him to eventually owning the
entire company for a total investment of $50 million.
5. Pixar Has Won (Many) Awards
Pixar has won 27 Academy Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and eleven Grammy Awards.
6. Pixar Made a Computer
Before
Pixar had a fully functioning animation department the functioned as a
high-end computer hardware company, with their main product being the
Pixar Image Computer. This computer helped begin Pixar's relationship
with Walt Disney Studios, who was one of the first buyers of the
computer. The studio used the system to computerize the ink and paint
process of their traditionally animated films.
7. Pixar Made a Major Deal With Disney
When
Pixar made a $26 million deal with Disney in 1991 to produce three CGI
feature films (the first of which became "Toy Story"), Pixar was still
struggling financially and had lost 30 employees including their
president.
8. The Critics Helped Save Pixar, Too
It was word from New York critics about the destined success of "Toy Story" that gave Jobs hope for the company.
9. In the Early Days, Pixar Hired Lots of College Grads
Most
of Pixar's animators in their early feature film days were college
graduates. Since 2D animation was still dominant at the time and Pixar's
studio was located in San Francisco, nearly six hours away from the
animator industry in Los Angeles, it was difficult to hire professional
animators. Thus fresh college grads were the top choice.
10. 'Toy Story 2' Was Almost Direct-to-Video
"Toy
Story 2" was originally planned as a direct-to-video movie . Lasseter wasn't very pleased with the material at the time so
he had the Pixar team start over from scratch and, voila! we got the
much-loved sequel to the talking toys adventure.
11. The Animators Pull Double Duty
Animators
are cast just like actors! Some animators specialize in comedy, some in
emotional scenes, and others in drama. Pixar casts animators based on
their sensibilities so each character is brought to life as
realistically as possible. Just look at how many different emotions this
single shot from "Finding Nemo" had to depict (evil, scared, and of
course the always-jolly Dory).
