Is Your Bad Mood Making You Less Beautiful?

What's your go-to bread?

Thinkstock

Think of yourself when you wake up in a fabulous mood. You put on an outfit you love, try a creative new hairstyle, then walk to work with a smile and a bounce in your step. Totally different than those frumpy days when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, right?

A great mood makes you feel gorgeous, and is proven to make you look more beautiful too.

When we’re flooded with positive emotions, we naturally see the world in a better light. “Your mood influences what you remember and how you interpret everything around you,” says YouBeauty Psychology Advisor, Art Markman, Ph.D. You’ll remember a rosier past and pick out the positive details in the present. Even looking in the mirror can be a better experience—you’ll be more likely to focus on features you love instead of the “imperfections” that nag you when you’re down in the dumps.

QUIZ: What’s Your Mood Today? &nbsp

When you see the best in yourself, that confidence shines in your conversations with others. “When you’re feeling happy or serene, you are much more open to interacting with other people,” says Markman. “That’s generally speaking a more attractive mode to be in.” Not only that, a genuine smile is a lot lovelier than a forced smile or a frown.

Embrace Your Bad Moods

We’d love to be happy-go-lucky all the time, but bad moods are natural—and inevitable.

When the clouds roll in, there’s no need to beat yourself up about it. Regular ups and downs are part of your mind’s natural process—and can be a great opportunity for growth. “All of our emotional states, all of our mood states, have to play a role that is beneficial to us or they would never have survived evolution,” says Markman. “If you wake up one day feeling stressed or sad, ask yourself, ‘Is this [feeling] trying to tell me something?’”

Some mental health professionals believe that’s exactly what a mood depression is meant to do: Tell you something. During a depression, you tend to slow down, withdraw and ruminate, giving you time and space to identify a problem in your life. Getting back on track requires that you start thinking and behaving in new ways, challenging you to grow and change.

People who are truly happy imagine the life they want and go for it. They focus on what they do want, rather than what they don’t want. “When you’re trying to achieve something positive in the world, that’s when you’re going to experience happiness,” says Markman. Whenever you open yourself up to happiness, sadness is always a possibility. But Markman points out that you have to face the odds head on—trying to avoid pain eliminates your chances for joy. “The best you can do is just be relieved that you’ve dodged a bullet.”

MORE: Understand Your Emotions   

Bust a Bad Mood

Your moods are tied to everything from hormones and PMS to the food you ate for breakfast or a fight with a friend. If you find yourself snapping at your co-workers or eating a box of cookies while you cry over Hallmark commercials, look at the root causes to figure out the best fix.

QUIZ: Does Your Mood Affect Your Eating?

We rarely take the time to pinpoint exactly what we’re feeling and why, especially when we feel down. But sorting through the mess is step one toward a better day tomorrow.

Our Mood Quiz helps you sort out what you’re feeling right now, with personalized tips for improving a bad mood or making the most of a good mood so your beauty and confidence can shine.

Start today: Try these quick mood-boosters to help you out of a funk.

Hit the gym. Exercise increases endorphins and naturally boosts your mood. Cardio is your best bet, so try running, speed walking or biking.

Snack between meals. Letting your blood sugar drop between meals can cause moodiness and carb cravings, so keep nuts and fruits on hand as healthy snacks.

Laugh with a friend. Laughter can increase endorphins and reduce stress, while spending time with a friend can strengthen your emotional reserves.

Storming the Crest

Storming the Crest

I took my new 1D Mk IV for its first Action hitout this morning, more to get used to the setup of the Auto Focus (all 60 or so custom functions, 50 pages of reading in the manual and a separate 50 page white paper from Canon ... ) and I was really impressed with the way it operated essentially straight 'out of the box'

Do I need more time to get used to it, and fine tune it ... you bet !

One thing that really put a smile on my face this morning was just how beautifully AutoISO works on this thing ... just set the shutter speed and aperture you want, and with the absolutely spot on exposure .... worrying about changing lighting conditions are now a dim dark memory ;-)

Is the image quality as good as my 5D Mk II ... nope

Do I care ... no way :-)

5 Foolproof Healthy Cooking Tips

By Melissa Walker

Making your own healthy meals is one of the easiest ways to ditch pounds. But if grilling, roasting, and sauteing often turn into a kitchen nightmare, use these no-fail tricks to go from flop chef to top chef.

Related: 6 Fall Recipes to Whip Up

How to Bake the Perfect Chicken Breast

"Baked chicken breast is always either raw or dry when I cut into it."

A common mistake is to cook it for a set period of time (say, 30 minutes), regardless of size or thickness. For a moist, perfectly cooked breast, Natalia Hancock, RD, culinary nutritionist at Rouge Tomate restaurant in New York City, recommends purchasing bone-in chicken breasts with skin. "Baking chicken with the skin on locks in moisture and helps prevent the flesh from shrinking and drying. The bone adds flavor and promotes even cooking," she says. Hancock suggests seasoning a breast with salt, black pepper, and your favorite spice (try poultry seasoning or a Cajun spice blend), then cooking it in a 9-by-9-inch glass baking dish -- metal or cast-iron pans, earthenware, and Dutch ovens work too -- at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. (If you have a chicken breast that's one pound or bigger, give it 55 minutes.) After it cools for 15 minutes, cut it from the bone and remove the skin to slash fat.

How to Cook Steak

"When I cook steak on the stove, it never tastes right."
 
Often people don't start with a high enough heat, and that leads to overcooked meat. "The key is having an even, high heat to caramelize the steak through searing," explains Tyler Florence, host of Tyler's Ultimate and several other Food Network shows. He recommends choosing a thick cut of meat for juiciness -- like a one-and-a-half-inch New York strip steak -- and using a cast-iron pan or ovenproof skillet. First, dry the surface of the meat (excess water leads to stewing instead of searing) and season with salt and black pepper. Pour a little canola oil in the pan and turn the heat to high. Once the pan is hot, cook the steak for six minutes on each side. Then put the pan into the oven at 375 degrees for about five minutes.

For a thinner cut (less than one and a half inches), the final step in the oven isn't necessary, says Stephanie Izard, the only female winner of Top Chef to date and owner of Girl & The Goat restaurant in Chicago. Just make sure the pan is hot, sear the meat for a minute, turn the heat down to medium high and cook for two to three minutes more. Then peek at the underside; once it's brown, flip it over and cook for a couple of minutes more. "A classic mistake is flipping too often, which can make the meat stick or develop an odd color," Izard says. "Two to three minutes a side is all it takes."

How to Cook Scallops

"My scallops taste like rubber."

The culprit: prolonged exposure to heat. Another common mistake? Tossing the scallops into the pan without drying them off with a paper towel (if they aren't dry, they'll steam instead of developing that yummy caramelization). Season them with salt and black pepper, put a splash of canola oil in a superhot nonstick pan, and cook. "Don't overcrowd them," says Devin Alexander, author of The Biggest Loser Flavors of the World Cookbook. If you see any excess moisture (look for telltale bubbles), remove the scallops with a slotted spoon and dump out the liquid; then immediately return them to the pan. After two to three minutes, when the scallops are golden brown, flip them and cook until their middles are turning opaque. Remove them from the heat (they'll continue to cook for a minute or so) and add fresh lemon juice.

How to Cook the Perfect Scrambled Eggs

"My scrambled eggs are overcooked."

Most people cook them too long and dry them out. The trick is to take the eggs off the burner when they've set but are still slightly wet and just starting to thicken, Krieger says. Keep folding them with the spatula; they'll continue to steam and cook without drying. Try Izard's tried-and-true recipe for an egg-white-and-veggie scramble: Whisk four egg whites until they're fluffy. Then saute onions and garlic with diced fresh or canned tomatoes and a handful of spinach. As soon as the spinach wilts, pour the egg whites over the top. Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 seconds; then stir it for a minute. When the eggs change from clear to white and the ingredients begin to hold together, put them on a plate and top with a pinch of grated Parmesan.

How to Cook Whole Grain Pasta

"Whole-grain pasta ends up either tough or a mushy mess."

The cardinal sin when preparing whole-grain pasta is overcooking. It needs to be al dente, meaning the noodles are not hard, but still firm. Hancock's rule of thumb is to use one gallon of salted water for each pound of pasta. "I add a teaspoon of olive oil to help prevent the pasta from sticking together," she says. "You should drop in the pasta only after the water has reached a rapid boil and give it a few stirs to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom." Start checking it two minutes before the suggested cooking time on the box to be sure you catch it al dente, which you can test by biting into a noodle. It should be not quite fully cooked -- a little firm yet tender.

James charnley house (Louis Sullivan)

Designed by Louis Sullivan and sitting on a really small plot of land in North Astor Street on Chicago's Gold Coast, the Charnley-Persky house as it is now known is the home of the Society of Architectural Historians. There are free trips of the interior on Wednesdays at 12, which is when we went. Recommended. (I took some pictures of the exterior back in June, see earlier in my stream).

These Knockoff Miu Miu Glitter Booties Cost $720 Less Than The Real Thing

Get the look of Miu Miu&#39;s open toe <a href=glitter booties for way less." title="Miu Miu glitter booties knockoffs"/>

Miu Miu glitter booties knockoffs

Guess who's knocking off Miu Miu's glitter booties?

We, along with every other fashion blogger worth her salt, have been lusting after these&nbsp;Miu Miu open toe glitter booties (at left) for ages now. But at a whopping $890 price tag, it's just not gonna happen. 
For those of you not opposed to a good knockoff, you'll love this: these Steve Madden glitter pumps are eerily close, and $720 less, weighing in at $169.95. Not to mention, with their slightly tempered muted champagne glitter, they work just as well with skinny jeans as with festive attire. Coincidence? We think not. Tell us what you think in the comments.
Still not in your budget? See all of the best glitter heels from around the web. But be prepared to stave off the barrage of compliments bound to come your way! 
See all of this week's best sales and deals, online sample sales and best find of the day picks, too.

Ireland Seeks to Tap Diaspora

The Irish government Friday hosted a gathering of Irish-American business leaders, which it calls the Global Irish Economic Forum, saying it plans to tap an influential network of the Irish diaspora to help the country recover from its worst ever debt crisis.

"We are determined that the Ireland that emerges from this crisis is one that is economically stronger, leaner and more sustainable," deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore told about 300 business leaders. "There is now a far greater appreciation of the fact that the global Irish, in all its diversity, constitute a vast source of soft power for this country."

The Source: Novel Idea for Raising Funds

Since 2008 Ireland has been engulfed by a deep debt crisis after the government could no longer bear the monumental costs of supporting its banks. When government debt markets effectively refused to lend the country more money, the Irish authorities were forced to turn last year to the European Union, International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank for a €67.5 billion bailout deal.

But the new coalition government is now hoping that initiatives such as the Global Irish Economic Forum will boost its message that the country is winning back its economic sovereignty and will get back to market funding in the coming years. The government has cited cuts in the costs of its European bailout loans as a major achievement since it was swept into power in March.

Analysts say Irish exports are helping the economy grow for the first time in three years, but that the domestic-focused economy is flat on its back as households struggle with home-loan debts and fear for their jobs. And consumer demand is unlikely to recover any time soon as the government has committed to its bailout lenders to introduce more austerity of spending cuts and tax rises. The government is required to reduce a huge budget deficit of about 10% of annual economic output this year to below 3% through 2015.

To build on its recovery initiatives, Gilmore said he will tap an international network of Irish business leaders first set up two years ago. The Irish government also plans to honor the achievements of the Irish diaspora.

On Thursday, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny told an audience of U.S. business leaders organized by the U.S. embassy that Ireland's competitive corporate tax rate will remain unchanged. Ireland is home to many European head offices of U.S. computer and pharmaceutical companies.
