The Sum Of You
To find out what's going on for you in July, you first need to work out your Destiny Number. Do this by adding all the digits in your date of birth until they reduce to single figure. So if you were born on 14.11.1977, add 1+4+1+1+9+7+7= 31. Now add 3+1= 4. Your Destiny Number is 4.
1.DESTINY NUMBER
Something is beckoning you onwards. You know where you want to be and how to get there. So why do you keep coming up against obstacles? Partners may be having hissy fits and pals throwing spanners in the works, but is this because of the signals you're giving out? You may believe you're Miss Independence, but understand that you may be either assuming others will put their lives on hold for you, or - shock, horror! - manipulating people into helping you by making them feel guilty or unimportant. If so, this is unlike you, and your courage and common sense will dispel it.
Great Day: 8 August
You score a major success.
Dodgy Day: 18 August
Someone's in tears, but is it your fault?
2.DESTINY NUMBER
Pursuing shared interests brings you closer to people, but not quite in the way you expect. You're being prompted to explore new ways of looking at life, so square your shoulders and embrace change. If you're artistic, your creativity will be boosted, and if you feel strongly about something, friends will arrive to share your mission. But don't take life too seriously - one smile is worth 10 minutes of logical reasoning. Socially, let others take you as they find you.
Great Day: 20 August
A colleague gives you a boost.
Dodgy Day: 23 August
You lose your temper and wonder where all that anger came from.
3.DESTINY NUMBER
Having committed to something, you know you must stick to it, however much it goes against the grain. 'Routine work' may threaten to drive you crazy, but as the month progress you'll see you're getting somewhere. Not as fast as you'd like, but projects that have been pending can now take root and grow. Sort out your finances and make a savings plan - you'll find a security blanket comforting and strangely liberating. Stay organized and cultivate patience.
Great Day: 31 August
Something puzzling now makes sense.
Dodgy Day: 15 August
It's all so confusing.
4.DESTINY NUMBER
The goalposts are moving and people seem to be expecting you to work miracles. You could be forgiven for throwing a wobbler, but would that help matters? Your mission is to walk the line between stubborn grouchiness and flapping about, and nobody does it better. Keep your cool and you'll find some gems flying around in the shrapnel: lucky breaks, cunning new perspectives and helpful contacts. You may not be able to exploit them all immediately, but at least keep notes.
Great Day: 22 August
You're back in the driving seat.
Dodgy Day: 14 August
Something comes out of left field.
5.DESTINY NUMBER
You may have to kiss a lot of frogs before turning one into a prince - not just romantically, but career-wise, too. Friends may be high maintenance and family members oversensitive. If you're too fixated on your own interests, you could create more strife for yourself. Just go with the flow and shelve some of your more challenging projects, and you could have a great time. August is good for starry-eyed holidays or a laid-back budget break with easy-going mates.
Great Day: 15 August
You wow everyone at an important event.
Dodgy Day: 6 August
Mixed messages make you feel uncertain about how to act.
6.DESTINY NUMBER
Just because others don’t understand your needs and feelings does not mean you should tell yourself you don’t have them. You may fear isolation, but if you're true to yourself, your relationships will be stronger. Keeping secrets for others may stretch your loyalty. Put complex moral issues to one side and go with your gut feelings. A little introspection can go a long way now, although not necessarily analytical head-shrinking. A holiday involving yoga or meditation would be ideal.
Great Day: 24 August
A creative project takes on new meaning.
Dodgy Day: 17 August
Trying to please everyone could mean pleasing no one.
7.DESTINY NUMBER
Even though you resist, the rat race seems to be sweeping you up in its grimy tide. You may have to get your hands dirty, but it doesn't mean that your ideals will be tarnished. Life is the art of the possible. The pressure is on to succeed, and you may have to schmooze people you don't respect, but so what? Enjoy what comes your way and don't look a gift horse in the mouth. There could be some high tech, high-fashion perks for you, with a touch of luxury.
Great Day: 27 August
A special someone brings enchantment.
Dodgy Day: 21 August
Just how selfish can you-know-who be?
8.DESTINY NUMBER
You're at the end of a cycle and it could be time to change gear. With your nose pressed to the grindstone you may have lost sight of the wide blue yonder - reconnect with your true purpose in life. Physical or mental challenges will get the juices flowing again, so an adventure holiday would be perfect for you. Think a jungle safari or walking the Great Wall of China. Encountering different lifestyles will jolt you out of your rut. Take the wise words.
Great Day: 18 August
A surprise gift opens your eyes.
Dodgy Day: 11 August
Weeping willows make you feel guilty.
9.DESTINY NUMBER
Challenges will bring opportunities for positive change, so put your blinkers on and take no prisoners. Worry about the environment and starving millions when you've gained yourself a stronger position - which you soon will if you look after Number One. For a while, you may feel unsupported, but you know better than to compromise on what's important just for company. People who matter will soon rally round - be true to yourself to sort the wheat from the chaff. A short break alone watching the sea or wildlife will give you big ideas.
Great Day: 19 August
You kill two birds with one stone
Dodgy Day: 4 August
Red tape makes you lose it.

Take a stroll around Oxford Street and Padding ton, the hip shopping zones where Sydney's fashionistas splurge on the hottest trends - chic boutiques on Victoria Street, stocks a plethora of designer labels. After flexing your credit card, there are plenty of ethnic eateries near Victoria Barracks, or cafes near Paddington Town Hall.
Pop down to Manly Beach for a spot of sunbathing and the chance to spot some of Australia's aquatic stars - pods of dolphins are often seen playing in the waters just off the bay all year round, while whales can be spotted in the cooler months.
Rejuvenate your self with a stop-over on Oxford Street, where luxurious spas will put you in the perfect frame of mind for a buzzy night out in Darling Harbor!

The 5-Minute Face
FIVE SENSES
Refresh Your Life BEAUTY
Don't skip make-up altogether on busy days. Try our simple plan to get pretty and polished, pronto.
cleanse-Ton-Moisturize
Besides refreshing you, clean, hydrated skin helps make-up go on smoother and look more natural. Ideally opt for the same brand for all three. Try grape-fruit face wash.
Cover Up
You don't really have the time to put on a base, but you still need to cover up those dark circles and blemishes. In summer, it's a better idea to choose a water-based concealer – a creamy one can get heavy and make you perspire. Also, make sure it’s a shade lighter than your skin tone.
Now, Play Up Your Features Lush Lips In Seconds
If you do nothing else before you leave home, put on lipstick – it adds life to your face. A soft pink is great for daytime and looks good on everyone. Got an extra second? Slick on some gloss to enhance color and make your lips look fuller.
Quick Chic Cheeks
Swirl a subtle pink shade of blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards to your hairline, to give your face a lift and brighten it up. A cream blush works well for winter, and a powder blush in summer.
Instant Eye Opener
So, you line your eyes with Kohl. But to really brighten them, stock up on pencil liners in various colors – brown, blue, gold, silver. To open them up, brush on a coat of mascara.

Lose Weight, Feel Great
Q: If you are 20-year-old girl. Your height is 5’4 inches?
A: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a relationship between weight and height that is associated with body fat and health risk. According to your height your weight should not be more than 52-56kg. You have started skipping rope and walking daily, it is a good thing. If you will exercise daily and eat the recommended food items (given below), you will get positive results. People think that there are some foods essential for losing weight, that is not the right approach. Actually there are some food patterns which help to lose weight. It is suggested that the following food sources will help you greatly.
Millet: A well-balanced diet should consist of whole grains instead of refined grains like white rice and pasta, and millet is a beneficial and delicious staple of this category of food. This non-glutinous grain is over 10-percent protein, has high amounts of fiber and B-complex vitamins, and because it isn't an acid forming food, is easy to digest.
2. Asparagus: When losing weight, it's important to favour chlorophyll-rich foods, including asparagus. Asparagus is a nutrient-rich vegetable provided with folate, vitamins A, C, and K, and fiber.
Be careful regarding food items, all the best foods for weight loss should generally be fresh natural food, nutritionally dense food, high in fiber, low in calories, low in fat, refined sugars and sodium.
A word of advice for all flabby friends is please, please, please avoid over eating.
Q: If you are 34 years old. Your height is 5’3 inches and weight 155lbs?
A: First of all you should get your polycystic syndrome treated as this is the major cause behind your extra weight. Further the situation you have written is also a symptom of the disease. In this scenario I would like to recommend decreased intake of calories and enriched carbohydrates, increased fiber intake including fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, fish, lean meats, nuts, and seeds daily; smaller, more frequent meals (every 3-4 hours) to help control blood glucose levels and at least 30 minutes of moderate or vigorous activity regularly. Use lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, pepper, herbs and spices instead of table salt to season foods. Limit foods such as cured and smoked meats, salted nuts, canned and processed vegetables, meats, marinades and sauces. Minimize intake of processed and junk food. As for your chocolate cravings, go for dark chocolate instead of sweet ones as it has low calories and is considered a weight maintainer. And in place of ice cream, frozen low-fat fruit yogurt is the best option.
Q: If yoy are 15 years old and your weight is 43kg at 5ft, have no time for exercise?
A: Your BMI is 19 which shows that if you will lose weight then you become under weight. If you are putting excess fats on your belly and even you can’t spare time for exercise, then you have to manage your weight by eating fewer calories. Eat a variety of foods that are all natural, low in fat and low in sugar. If you’re having a really difficult time in losing the few pounds decrease your carbohydrates intake, especially late in the day and at night.
Ideally, you should spread your calories out into six small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don’t overeat at a time. The benefits of frequent eating include faster metabolic rate, higher energy levels, less storage of body fat due to smaller portions, reduced hunger and cravings, more calories usable for muscle growth and better absorption and utilization of nutrients.
Q: If you are 18-year-old girl and have a problem regarding your weight. Your height is 5'4 inches and weight is around 79 or 80kg?
A: Your weight and that of your mother should be 52-58kg and 50-54kg. If you and your mother will follow my suggestions you will get unbelievable results very soon. Following a diet and exercise schedule automatically drag the cholesterol level to its normal limits.
Go for green vegetables such as kale, chard, collard greens, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, etc. These contain vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and are very filling, high in fiber and low in calories.
Include servings of whole grains in your diet. They contain B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron and fiber. Use whole-wheat flour instead of white flour. Manage your diet and don’t skip breakfast. Do the exercise given below:
Lie on your back and lift your legs and arms off the floor, so that your knees are bent just above your hips and your arms are directly over your shoulders, palms facing forwards. Keeping as still as possible, pull your abdominals back into your spine. Hold this position for two sets of eight counts. Then lower your right foot to the floor and tap with your heel four times, without letting the lower back arch. Still contracting your abdominals, raise the right foot back up, then lower your left to tap your heel on the floor. Build up to six to eight repetitions for the whole exercise.
I would suggest your mother to avoid cream, butter, cheeses, ice cream, milk, vegetable fats such as palm oil, margarines, fast food, fried or roasted foods that have had fat or oils added, cakes, biscuits, puddings, roasted, salted nuts, crisps, crackers and eggs - no more than three per week.
Q: If you are 21-year-old girl. Your height is 5'8 inches and weight 54kg and have a very thin body. If you want to gain weight so that look healthy?
A: Don’t worry. The basic principle of weight gain is simple: you need to take more calories than you expend.
The healthier way to gain weight is to exercise and eat properly (especially complex carbon hydrates). By exercising you will feel hungrier (you will eat more) and your muscles will grow. Also don't gain a lot of weight within a short span as that can cause stretch marks. I would suggest doing a combination of exercise and eating healthy but high-calorie foods. Nuts are excellent for this.
Eat more calories: It involves some calculation. The approximate normal daily caloric requirement for an average female is 1,900. You need to eat around 1,000 extra calories per day to gain less than half a kilo a week.
Make smart choices: For example, choose dairy products, fish and meat over bread. Choose eggs over vegetables. Eat foods with high protein content such as beans, pulses and peas, and foods with high starch content such as potatoes and rice.
Eat more snacks: Consume a lot of high-calorie snacks (not junk food) such as cheese sticks, milk shakes, muffins, dried fruits, yogurt and breakfast bars.
Drink more fluids: Drink a lot of fluids that supply nutrients and calories; milk and fresh fruit juices.
