Though there is nothing better than letting the body generate vitamin D on its own by soaking in the sunlight. Here are some foods that are a great source of vitamin D:
Fatty fishes (tuna, salmon, mackerel)

Vitamin B12


Cobalamin or vitamin B12, is a vitamin that plays a vital role in boosting metabolism. Vitamin B12 aids in production of red blood cells. At the base of hair follicles, there are numerous blood vessels, which are connected to the 
hair roots. The red blood cells carry oxygen to these blood vessels. Without adequate oxygen, hair cannot sustain healthy growth and will become dry and brittle. Vitamin B12 is also essential if you wish to keep problems like hair greying and falling at bay.

What to Eat?

Mackerel
Cheese (swizz, feta, mozzarella)

Taylor Swift Style Lyrics And Mp3 Song




Midnight, you come and pick me up
No headlights
Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, it's been a while since I have even heard from you
I should just tell you to leave cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch us go round and round each time

You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt,
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.

So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
Lights are off, he's taking off his coat
I say I heard that you been out and about with some other girl
Some other girl
He says, what you've heard it's true but I
Can't stop thinking about you and I
I said I've been there too a few times

Cause You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt,
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.

Take me home
Just take me home
Just take me home

You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style

COMMON HAIR WASHING MISTAKES



Mistake 1: I love to rinse my hair with hot water

Have you been washing your hair with sweltering water all this while? Well then, ouch and ouch! Hot water dries out your scalp and hair much faster. If you want, then use lukewarm water as that will open up the hair cuticles, and maximise the effect of your shampoo and conditioner.
Also, towards the end of your hair washing regime, rinse your hair with cold water at least once. Cold water will help to close the hair cuticle and keep the moisture locked in.
P.S.: Those with colour-treated hair must at all costs avoid hot water as it increases the chances of the colour fading away faster.

Mistake 2: I skimp on water

Many women make the mistake of not giving their hair enough time to soak in the water before they move towards shampooing them. If you are thinking about the environment, then we appreciate that by all means. But otherwise, it is a serious hair washing mistake that you are committing. 
Before you shampoo your hair, wash it under running water for at least a minute or two. This would ensure that you get the best out of your shampoo and conditioner.
P.S.: Not rinsing your scalp well enough, after using the shampoo and conditioner, is another hair washing mistake. Make sure before you move out of the shower that you completely rinse out the shampoo and conditioner, and that no residue is left behind, because that can lead to scalp irritation and flat hair.

Mistake 3: I use a lot of shampoo to get the shine

Most of us think that if a shampoo doesn’t produce much lather, it is not doing its job. But, did you know that the lather may not actually be helping you to get rid of the grime build-up? Too much foam can prevent the shampoo from working its deep cleansing magic.
It is suggested that for your first wash, try to squeeze a dollop of shampoo, approximately the size of a €2 coin. And, if you need a second wash, then use a lesser amount of that.

Mistake 4: I wash my hair within 4-5 minutes only

Whoever washes hair in less than 5 minutes (which includes conditioning) is not doing justice to their tresses. You don’t have to slap tons of shampoo on your head and rinse it with cold water. Take some time and massage your scalp with fingertips in circular motions.
It is advised that you start doing so from the hair line, and then move towards your nape. It not only helps to create lather and cleanse your hair roots, but also improves blood circulation.
P.S.: Concentrate on using your fingertips to only massage your scalp. Rubbing your hair strands between your hands rigorously while washing, can cause friction and lead to hair damage.

Mistake 5: I don’t need a hair conditioner

After a head bath, your scalp will regain its natural oils it is stripped off after a short while, but hair-ends are susceptible to getting drier. This is why; you need a conditioner for your hair. Apply first at the very bottom of your hair and then move along till the mid-shaft.
Another advantage of conditioning your hair is that it reduces friction and consequent breakage when you brush your hair.
P.S.: Applying hair conditioner on the scalp is another sheer blasphemy for your hair. If you have the habit of applying your hair conditioner on your scalp, then stop right now. Only use the conditioner till the mid-shaft of your hair length.

Mistake 6: I wash my hair everyday

Yes, we do accept that many hair experts suggest that you should wash your hair only after two to three days. But, having said that, we would still point out that it is just a good suggestion, and not a rule per say! You are the best judge, so wash your hair whenever you need to. If your scalp turns greasy despite shampooing you can wash it the next day; or if not, then you can wash it after a day or two.
But, don’t wait for a week’s time, especially during summers (when you sweat more!), as it will cause a built-up of dirt on your scalp and threaten your hair’s health.
P.S.: If you are blessed with non-greasy scalp, and if you can avoid, then do follow the mantra of washing your hair only after every two or three days.

Top Ten Places You Can't Visit

It's always fun to break the rules and enter into restricted places. But there really
are 
some places it's impossible to visit. We count down the top 10 places you can't visit!

1)Area 51 

U.S military installation located roughly 100 miles (161 kilometers) north of Las Vegas
had 
been one of the worst-kept secrets on the planet. Area 51, as it's commonly known to UFO conspiracy theorists and aviation buffs who piece together the details of classified military spy plane prototypes, is a place whose existence the U.S. government long refused even to acknowledge.



2) RAF Menwith Hill 

The giant white “golf balls” look out of place next to the rolling hills, stone fences
and 
picturesque farms of the Yorkshire countryside.
The “golf balls,” or radomes, dwarf the buildings at this tiny U.S. military base in 
northern England. They house satellite receivers and transmitters that help Men with
Hill’s 
workers fulfill the mission of providing “intelligence support for U.K., U.S. and allied interests,” according to the base website.



3) Room 39


Room 39 is a secretive North Korean government organization that seeks ways to maintain the foreign currency slush fund for the country's leader Kim Jong-un.





4) Snake Island

The highest concentration of one of the most venomous snakes in the world is located about
90 miles off the coast of Santos, Brazil, on a small, craggy chunk of otherwise 

uninhabitable land. It’s known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, or Snake Island, and it’s the 

only place you will find 2,000 or so of the wholly unique golden lancehead viper, or 

Bothrops insularis.


When you step ashore, with a keen eye you spot one of these snakes roughly every 10 to 15 

minutes after clearing the base of the island, and as many as one every six square yards in 

other parts of the island. This means, as you are walking through the waist-high brush,

even with some good boots on, it’s like walking through a minefield that moves and, instead 

of blowing you into chunks, slowly paralyzes you and liquefies your insides, as the golden 

lancehead does to the migrating birds it feeds on in the treetops.





5) Vatican Secret Archives

One hundred secret documents held in the labyrinthine vaults and tunnels of the Vatican’s
Secret Archives are on public display in Rome for the first time. 

Normally kept under lock and key and not available to the public, the documents will be 
shown in the Capitoline Museums until September to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the 
establishment of the Secret Archives.The archives have always aroused curiosity, no more 

so than when they were featured in the Dan Brown novel “Angels and Demons,” in which


Harvard “symbologist” Robert Langdon races against time to stop a secret religious order
from blowing up the Vatican. The priceless documents span more than a millennium, from the 


8th century to modern times, and feature a cast of historical characters ranging from 

Martin Luther and Henry VIII to Galileo and the warrior monks of the Knights Templar.





6) North Sentinel Island

North Sentinel Island, a part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal Ocean
between Myanmar and Indonesia, is home to one such tribe. The Sentinelese people are so 

hostile to external contact that the island has been dubbed the ‘hardest place to visit’ in 

the world.

The Sentinelese are thought to be direct descendants of the first humans who emerged from

Africa. They have lived on the tiny island for almost 60,000 years. Their exact population 


is unknown; it could be as low as 40 or as high as 500.


7) Metro-2 (Moscow)

This subway system is called "Metro 2" and is located under the civil subway in the very
centre of Moscow. Right now we're going to go down for 110 meters in the area of Red 

Square. 

The secret special subway system can be built in many ways and for different purposes 

starting from evacuation of the Russian generalship and finishing with the systems of 

special communication of various bunkers belonging to all possible agencies and structures.

8) Mezhgorye – Secret City

Mezhgorye is a closed town in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, located in the
southern Ural Mountains near Mount Yamantau, about 200 kilometers (120 mi) southeast of
Ufa, the capital of the republic, on the banks of the Maly Inser River (a tributary of the 


Kama River).This town has population of 17,353 inhabitants according to the latest 2010 

census.It is one of the most interesting towns of this type for sure.






9) Mount Weather

The Mount Weather Special Facility is an unacknowledged Continuity of Government (COG)
facility operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 200,000 square 

foot facility also houses FEMA's National Emergency Coordinating Center. Located on a 434 

acre mountain site on the borders of Loudon and Clarke counties, the above ground support 

facilities, with 240 employees, include about a dozen building providing communications 

links to the White House Situation Room.







10) Surtsey

Surtsey, a volcanic island approximately 32 km from the south coast of Iceland, is a new
island formed by volcanic eruptions that took place from 1963 to 1967. It is all the more 

outstanding for having been protected since its birth, providing the world with a pristine 

natural laboratory. Free from human interference, Surtsey has been producing unique long-

term information on the colonisation process of new land by plant and animal life. Since 

they began studying the island in 1964, scientists have observed the arrival of seeds 

carried by ocean currents, the appearance of moulds, bacteria and fungi, followed in 1965 

by the first vascular plant, of which there were 10 species by the end of the first decade. 

By 2004, they numbered 60 together with 75 bryophytes, 71 lichens and 24 fungi.Eighty-nine 

species of birds have been recorded on Surtsey, 57 of which breed else where in Iceland. The 

141 ha island is also home to 335 species of invertebrates.
