1. Eating out healthily

Eating out usually means that we have little control over how the food is prepared or how large the portion is. Foods eaten out tend to be higher in fat and research has shown that those who eat out regularly generally have higher intakes of fat, salt and calories. Studies have also shown that eating with friends can tempt us to overeat. Meals with multiple courses eaten over longer periods and with alcohol are all associated with overindulgence. Large serving bowls and spoons increase the likelihood of piling more food on your plate than you usually eat.

Unlike packaged food, foods bought from cafes, restaurants etc don't have to carry nutritional information and so opting for the healthiest option might not always be obvious, or easy. However, with some knowledge and thought, eating out can be enjoyable and healthy!

2. How to eliminate Acne Scars using tomatoes

We need tomatoes as much as we need. How to use:
Clean the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes that have been cleaned into sections. Put the pieces on the face of existing acne scars. Let stand for about 20-30 minutes.
Clean your face with clean water. Perform it routinely 2-3 times a week.

3. Celebrate Life

Age does not lie. It tells you the truth about your endurance in facing situations (either good or bad situations). Now I fully understand that 27 is not "that young", this is the transitional period before entering the next stage of my life, being a 30 years old guy. All actions that I have done during all these years will shape my own future, maybe in the next 5, 10 or even 2 years from now. If there is an action, there must be a reaction and I am quite scared, what kind of reactions that I am going to face of in the next upcoming years (hmm, I am crossing my fingers right now).

It is true that everybody wants to be happy. Happiness is something that we search everyday. But is it true that we have to find that happiness, even the short one? I do not think so. Some people go to a club every week to find for their happiness. Some people use drugs as their "sweet" escape and hope to find their own happiness by using those things. Some people search for sex every week (or every day) to satisfy their sexual needs which they hope can bring a little of happiness to them. Some people travel, looking for something or maybe happiness by visiting a random place. This searching of happiness is very critical in our life and this is something that we do everyday.

I don't want to spend the whole year in my life just for searching for a very short happiness. It is just a waste of time to find something that is not eternal. The clock is ticking, the more you grow older, the less power that you can do in life. I just want to make sure that I make best decisions (as much as I can) during this 20s and those decisions are not based on the argument that "this is only for a short happiness". Seek something that is eternal, not something that is temporary.

4. How to Quit Smoking

To successfully quit smoking, you’ll need to address both the addiction and the habits and routines that go along it. While some smokers successfully quit by going cold turkey, most people do better with a plan to keep themselves on track. A good plan addresses both the short–term challenge of quitting smoking and the long–term challenge of preventing relapse. It should also be tailored to your specific needs and smoking habits. Take the time to think of what kind of smoker you are, which moments of your life call for a cigarette, and why. This will help you to identify which tips, techniques or therapies may be most beneficial for you.

Start your stop smoking plan with START
S = Set a quit date.
T = Tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit.
A = Anticipate and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting.
R = Remove cigarettes and other tobacco products from your home, car, and work.
T = Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit.
