6 Skincare Mistakes Influencers Make


Do not put those during flights and always look on the expiration date of the mask @primavera.yoga


1. Apply your skincare during flights. Do it before the flights. take off your make up, put a good Serum and then use moisturizer, an heavy cream cause on the airplane it is like the desert (so dry). Why you are not supposed to treat your skin on the airplane? Cause it is so dirty and full of bacteria and then you put it on your skin, Also sheet mask is so bad to put it on the airplane, you make your skin more dry when you take it off, cause there is no moisturizer n the air. It is much better to do it before gry into the airplane.

2. Incorrect skin care products. You just spend money on products without doing the right things in the right order, and you can also damage your skin. Start by using water-based products and end with the more heavy creamy ones, then only in the end you can use oil.
3. Putting eye cream/oil all over the eye. That will irritate your eye. You just have to TAP it on your orbital bone with your ring finger and on the eyebrow area.
4. You have to do a lot of research before doing the treatments and cosmetic procedures with Laser, cool sculpting (it is really dangerous and can damage your nerves), injections, etc. Check reviews and side effects before anything you do, and also read about the doctor, don't trust anyone.
5. If you start early with treatments and surgery, you just gonna look older. Keep it simple.

6. Using products with fragrance (good smell). It can irritate your skin, even if it is not irritating now, it can be develope over time. I know it is nicer, and most of the products have fragrance, but It is not good for your skin. Also, a natural fragrance like essential oils is not good for the skin too. Finally, now they start to understand it and many companies started to make products without editing fragrance to their products.


Also in the flight, you have UVB raise, so it is so important to put sunscreen.
After the flight also take care of your skin. renourish it.

The best advice is to ask your aesthetician what is better for your skin cause we are all different. (And please don't listen to what you see on youtube)
Another Big mistake, Peptides are not recommended to be used simultaneously with AHA-acids – (acidic pH is undesirable for peptides), and peeling should be done prior to using peptides.

Matcha- which one you should buy & a matcha recipe




I am a believer in a higher grade matcha. There is a very big difference between the different matcha brands and grades. The ceremonial grade is amazing- the taste is phenomenal and it has a better “mental high” and a higher l-theanine content so better for sleep. This one is great JAS
If you have culinary grade matcha you can use it in lattes and smoothies and tonics but I do not recommend using it on its own because most brands taste subpar. In a herbal concoction, it can be a good tea option. This is a good middle-grade Japanese matcha.
Just recently I purchased a new one which is Premium Grade- that is in between ceremonial and culinary grade and I love it!!!! It is crisp and green and delicious-  SENCHA MATCHA 

Watch this before you decide which matcha to buy and where you gonna drink it. Really important to know if the leaves are effected by Fukushima radiation.



VEGAN MATCHA LATTE

Ingredients


  • 1 1/4 tsp matcha powder 
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or stevia to taste // more or less to preference + depending on sweetness of macadamia and coconut milk)
  • 1 Tbsp hot water
  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk 
  • 3/4 cup macadamia nut milk  (or other type of milk)
  • 1/4 tsp maca root powder 

Instructions

  1. Add matcha powder to your serving mug along with sweetener of choice and hot water. (If adding add-ins like maca,  add at this time.)
  2. Whisk with a bamboo whisk or a metal whisk until completely dissolved. If you don’t have a bamboo whisk, you can use a spoon or a metal whisk or even blend the latte in a blender. Bamboo whisks are gentle on the matcha and also help it dissolve more completely. So if you like matcha, I recommend investing! Otherwise, use what you have.
  3. Once the matcha is completely dissolved, heat* your coconut and macadamia milk (or other dairy-free milk). you can heat in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot and steamy.
  4. Pour dairy-free milk into your mug. Taste and add more sweetener if needed. I found that, when I used the macadamia nut milk, I only needed a bit of maple syrup or stevia to sweeten. Enjoy immediately.

Bon appetit šŸ¤

5 Reasons You Can’t Hear Your Intuition

Have you ever turned to your intuition for guidance – and discovered it wasn’t there?
Have you ever found yourself desperate for a trustworthy answer, yet come up empty and blocked?
If you yearn to tap into your own magical intuitive powers, this post is a great place to start. In it, I give you 5 reasons your intuition might be alluding you – and tips to get things on track.


@primavera.yoga in Jaffa streets


1.     You don’t recognize it. If you’ve ever learned anything about the psychology of communication, you know that it’s much more than just the words you speak. In fact, speaking only accounts for about 8% of it; gestures, eye contact, and body movements make up most of the rest. While most people don’t think of their intuition as a form of communication, that’s exactly what it is. And, just like any other language, intuition can come through in many ways. One person might hear their intuition in the lyrics of a song, delivered at “just the right time”. Another’s answers may come by way of a repeating set of numbers – 111, 222, or 444, per se – or a certain feeling, or on the words of a billboard. Then there are times when it speaks softly and directly, and you know exactly what to do.

2.    You’re too stressed. I read an awesome article recently in which the author talks about the fact that thinking, especially the creative type, takes up a lot of energy. This is a huge bonus for authors, artists, and pretty much anyone out there since we all pretty much use some form of creative thinking daily. It also explains why, after penning an article or participating in a brainstorming session with co-workers, you can feel totally exhausted – despite a lack of physical exertion on the job. According to the article, accessing the reservoir of energy needed to think at a high level can easily be blocked by high levels of stress. The reason? Stress takes up a high level of energy, too. Therefore, if you’re stressing out about everything from your partner to the holidays to the drive to work, you aren’t leaving yourself enough energy to experience creativity or receive insights – two ways intuition comes through to you.

3.    You’re too focused on pain, lack, or limits. If you’ve read anything about the Law of Attraction, then you know that like attracts like. You also know that anytime you focus on what you don’t have, you’re actually bringing more of what you don’t have into your life due to this Law’s basic precept. Given this, anytime you over-analyze, obsess, or mentally stir about anything that’s missing – including your intuition – you are blocking it from coming to you. A better choice here would be to soften up your stance, adopt an attitude of faith, and trust that your intuition will come in when the time is right.


4.     You have too many distractions.  When you have a lot of thoughts, projects, demands, people or energy in your space, it creates a similar environment of confusion and chaos. The next time you want to clearly hear your communication, try clearing out your space. You can do this physically by putting things away or getting rid of things, and mentally by clearing your mind through journaling and/or meditation.

primavera yoga


5.     You don’t meditate. This is one of the biggest and most important – and also one of the easiest to fix. Why is meditation so important for accessing intuition? you ask. Simply put, think of meditating like giving yourself a direct line to your Higher Self. Simply plugin, and start to receive. Well, maybe it isn’t quite that easy, but it definitely isn’t as hard or as scary as many people make it out to be.  Meditation doesn’t have to be time-consuming, either. There are many different forms of meditation available – from traditional to mindfulness to walking and painting – and there is a good form for every kind of person and personality. And, along with its physical and emotional benefits, meditation will also enhance your intuition dramatically.


So, there you have it: 5 unique reasons you may not be hearing your intuition – and some tips for bringing it in.

49 REASONS WHY WOMEN CAN’T ORGASM DURING SEX


We are living in a culture of severely under-fucked and unloved women. Women living without the ambiance of sensual love wilt and dry up like flowers, often experiencing depression, despair, and stress. And now, after being maybe too dramatic (I think it is a good reason for being dramatic personally)


If you are having a hard time experiencing pleasure and orgasms during sex, it could be due to the following reasons:
1.   You are having sex with someone you do not actually like or truly attracted to. There is no real interest nor passion towards your partner. There is a chance they are a complete stranger. There is a lack of trust, vulnerability or intimacy. Your heart is closed out of protection.
2.   The kind of sex you are having is not in alignment with your true desires (ex. having rough sex while yearning for sensual love-making). You are doing what you think is considered good/trendy/cool sex.
3.   You are trying to impress your partner during sex instead of enjoying yourself and your body. Your full concentration is on them. (It is great to think about yourself in the bedroom)
4.   You’ve heard that many women struggle to orgasm during sex so you assume that it's a normal thing that you do not either!!! (I e hear that reason a lot)
5.   You do not really know what or how you like to receive pleasure. You are impatiently waiting for your lover to figure it out for you. (I really recommend you to read the book Orgasm Unleashed: Your guide to pleasure)
6.   Your judge the quality of sex-based on whether you orgasm. The main goal is to orgasm as fast as possible to appear adequate and low-maintenance as a lover. Your inability to orgasm leads to feelings of failure.
7.   You assume that the only way you will orgasm is if you have an amazing tantric lover. Fake news šŸ˜„.
8.   Sex is primarily fast, hard and aggressive. Movements feel rushed with the sole purpose of getting yourself or your partner to orgasm. At some point, the body, especially the genitals, begins to feel numb from over-stimulation, often requiring even rougher movements or high-intensity sex toys.
9.   The muscles in your vagina are tense and are preventing you from orgasmsTension and numbness in the vagina are the body’s coping mechanisms to deal with stress. Many women experience tension in their vaginal muscles due to rough sex, emotional stress, and blockages as well as unpleasant and painful sexual experiences and abuse.
10.  Your partner’s hygiene is not great, yet you feel too shy to ask them to shower before sex. There is a sense of disgust or revulsion which are you trying to battle during sex. Have a shower together before ;).
11.  You feel ashamed about your true kinks/desires thus never sharing them with your partner. You are worried about being rejected for your “weirdness”.
12.  You become frustrated, annoyed and upset if you not feeling orgasmic. You secretly resent yourself or your partner for this. You feel broken and ashamed.
13.  There is a sense of tension in the body during sex, especially the face, jaw, and genitals. Just relax and feel your body, the touch, make noises.
14.  Sex follows a typical predictable “route” and barely sways off to different directions -mouth kissing > neck kissing > breast licks > belly licking down > quick oral sex to make it wet  >  rapid penetration > fake or real orgasm. Boring and predictable!
15.  Primary concentration during sex is on each other’s genitals, with an occasional stroke/lick of the rest of the body. Penetration is considered the main form of sex. It often happens before you are fully aroused.



@primavera.yoga



16.  Unless penetration happens, everything else is not considered “sex”.
17.  You often find yourself working hard to become aroused as fast as possible so your partner can penetrate you. You feel ashamed for needing more time to become wet. You are worried that foreplay feels like a chore to your partner.
18.  To orgasm, you often wander off into naughty/pornographic fantasies. There is a sense of boredom or feeling of “not enough” with what is happening in the present moment.
19.  You are not sure what your partner actually likes when it comes to sex. In fact, you never shared what you like with them either.
20.  You are bombarded with distracting insecure thoughts about your body, your taste/smell, and sexual performance. You are too insecure to share this vulnerability with your partner. You are in a constant state of fighting off these thoughts. 
21.  You are too insecure to give feedback or ask for something different from your partner for fear of hurting their feelings. You pretend that you are enjoying yourself even though you are not. 
22.  You work hard at not being “high maintenance” in bed, often giving up receiving pleasure or faking orgasms. You do not wish for your partner to “work hard”.
23.  You treat your partner’s pleasure as more important than yours. Sex is considered finished when your partner orgasms. You either fake your orgasm or lie that you do not need it.
24.  You think it is the responsibility of your lover to turn you on and make you orgasm every time. You are frustrated when they don’t.
25.  You feel pressured to do certain sexual acts that you do not enjoy, or which physically hurt you toin order to please your partner. Certain sexual acts trigger you.
26.  You are passive during love-making. You feel it is your partner’s job to “do all the work”. You just lie there wondering why you can’t orgasm.
27.  You feel a time pressure to orgasm, often reaching for the vibrator to assist you. You feel ashamed for needing a toy in order to orgasm. It is better not to start to use vibrators, cause it will be too hard to get orgasm during sex after getting used to the high vibration of the vibrator.
29.  While your partner seems engulfed in their pleasure, you feel left behind, invisible and used. You do not speak up, silently enduring your emotional or physical discomfort. You smile and pretend that everything is ok.
30.  Penetration does not feel pleasurable to you. You feel vaginal tension, dryness, and even mild pain after 10-15 minutes. Due to prolonged frisky penetration during partner sex, your vagina feels swollen/sore after sex.
32.  You feel insecure about the look/smell/taste of your genitals. You cannot relax during oral sex, so you skip it altogether or pretend that you do not enjoy it.
33.  You are having sex out of relationship obligation, out of desire to appear cool or because your partner is “hot "or because you feel like you owe it to them. You are not sure about your true motivation for having sex.
34.  You have casual sex even though you secretly do not enjoy it. Everyone else seems to enjoy it so you are trying to figure out how to have “sex without feelings”. You crave deeper connection and a committed relationship yet too afraid to admit it to those you date.
35.  You suppress any ‘non-sexy emotions” for fear of ruining the sexy mood such as feelings of tenderness, love or even crying.


@primavera.yoga


36.  You feel too shy to ask your partner to slow down, to take a break or even let them know that you need to pee or water. You are worried it will ruin the mood.
37.  You are “performing” an ideal image of a sexy lover in order to impress your partner instead of being yourself (ex. acting like a horny porn star). You are not sure what a ‘true you’ actually is. You are worried to let go and make your true sex noises or facial expressions. You spend the entire time making “sexy moans” and “sexy faces”.
38.  You do not look at each other in the eye during sex, keeping your eyes closed most of the time. It feels too intimate and scary.
39.  There is a lack of intimacy/sensuality during and after sex. You crave cuddling and aftercare yet are too shy to voice this need. There is an awkwardness between you both after sex.
40.  You are too shy to allow your partner to see certain parts of your body thus staying half-clothed, covering yourself with bedsheets or turning off the lights during sex. You feel repulsed by parts of yourself and do not believe your partner when they tell you that they find you attractive.
41.  You fantasy about someone else while having sex with your partner or you are in love with someone else.
42.  You are having sex for purposes other than pleasure and connection – to get the job/promotion, to forget an ex, to be considered cool, as a form of relationship manipulation.
43.  Sex feels to lack in genuine playfulness and lightheartedness. There is a serious determination to orgasm.
44.  Alcohol/drugs are a constant presence in your love life. You are unable to relax and let go during sober sex.
45.  You are worried about unwanted pregnancy or STD’s during lovemaking. You are too shy to ask your partner to use a condom or show you their STD test results.
46.  You are repressing your true sexual orientation, having sex based on what your culture deems appropriate.
47.  You are obsessing over minor things during sex such as a pimple on your butt or an ingrown hair. Your assumption that your partner disapproves of it, won't allow you to relax into pleasure.
48.  You find yourself easily distracted or annoyed by small things such as a wrong playlist, street or television noise, temperature in the room, etc.
49.  Your partner is using delay gel/spray, this is also affecting you.

Great sex is MORE than orgasm and rubbing onto a naked partner’s body. Great sex is 10% skills and 90% state of mind. Orgasmic sex involves genuine pleasure, connection, intimacy, transcendence, compatibility, self-expression and play. Great sex is about expressing one’s unique eroticism. Eroticism gifts us meaning.

Conventional sex is fast-food sex. It fills up short-term cravings yet leaves you starving in the long run. Conventional sex is not a sustainable form of love-making and is one of the main reasons why couples eventually stop having sex. It is especially damaging to the female body and sexual psyche.


Lack of knowledge of how the female body operates, lack of emotional connection and excessive stimulation of the genitals leave a woman feeling used and unloved. The body begins to lose its capacity to feel. Eventually, women require harder, faster and more intense stimulation like vibrators in order to feel pleasure.
The idea that women do not desire sex as much as men do is a sad myth. Women simply aren’t having the amazing sex worth craving. When a woman is being made love to the way her body and heart have been designed for, she blossoms as a highly aroused orgasmic woman.
It is time to step out of conventional sex into the world of conscious pleasurable sex!
