5 Perfectly Romantic Proposal Ideas
Having a crush on someone or wanting to be with someone are both frustrating and amazing. However, at one point, you soon begin to feel that you need to take action, and that action is the confession of your feelings. Now for most people, confession means rejection. They just can’t imagine it lead to anything else. However, whether you fall into this category or not, here are a few perfectly romantic ideas for you to consider before you make that confession:
Do it over a road-trip or a drive
This is a perfectly romantic idea. Suggest to your partner that you should go out to some place together on a road trip or for a dinner. Then take her through a longer route so you have time to talk. Indulge in deep talks on the way and talk about your fears, dreams and hopes. Then, propose to her while you are caught up in the madness of words and emotions. However, you have to be very careful. It is better to do something like this on your way back. If they are not ready yet, don’t force them into anything. Don’t scare them because they will be alone with you at that moment. The way you handle that situation might get them to change their mind.
Music
You know what makes things easy and also perfectly romantic? Music. They say music connects on a deeper level with not only us but to our souls. It is a wonderful way to express how you feel. Whether you are sitting in a crowded metro or whether you are having a quiet dinner, a song will change everything, and what is a better way of expressing yourself than music? Put on some songs and express you love, or do something old school. Make them a compilation of your favourite songs on Soundcloud or burn them a CD. On the playlist, add an adorable voice note and confess your love.
Make her dinner
Whether you are a cook on Master Chef level, or whether you burn your Omelette every morning, proposing over self-made food is perfectly romantic. Find a simple recipe or call your mother or some aunt who is an expert at cooking. Get a few ideas from them. Invite them over. Set the table and then propose to her in the best way that you can. You will leave her awestruck and she will feel very special for being treated this way.
A surprise.
This is another perfectly romantic idea. Surprise that person. Do it at their work place in their cabin or randomly knock on their door and propose to them. Just do it in a way that they had never imagined. I remember my time.
"My partner and I were best friends. One night, we were randomly talking and I was ranting as usual when he stopped me to tell me that he wanted to be with me for the rest of his life. I was taken aback, but obviously I was over the moon. (Had fallen for him a long time back.)"
-GLAMOUR
Anyway, if that person really loves you or cares for you, no matter what you do, it will be extremely special for them.
Happy loving!

The Best Ways To Prepare For Final Exams
Finals week can be a stressful time for all students–I know it is for me. So, knowing how to properly prepare for finals is the key to avoiding stress and acing every single one of your exams. Of course, all students would love to relax by receiving massages or by the healing power of dogs before finals (I sure would!).
But, we all know this isn’t really possible. There needs to be a uniform way to assess our performance as students and it has to happen at some point (hence, “finals”). So how else can we lower stress and know that we’re on the right track to excel in each course? Well, here are some proven methods that will have you focused and better prepared for final exams.
1. Say NO to cramming: Study in intervals! Studying in 20-50 minute increments and giving yourself 5-10 minutes in between is more beneficial than cramming. Distributing learning over time typically benefits long-term retention more than a short period.
2. Say YES to cardio: Science says that just 20 minutes of cardio can improve your memory. Whether you’re dancing, jogging or busting a sweat by walking, exercise will increase your energy level and reduce the effects of stress. Very important!
3. Eat superfoods/antioxidants: Everybody knows you should eat breakfast the day of a big test. Research suggests that high-carb, high-fiber, slow-digesting foods like oatmeal are best (oatmeal is more fulfilling than cereal). But what you eat a week in advance matters, too. When 16 college students were tested on attention and thinking speed, then fed a five-day high-fat, low-carb diet heavy on meat, eggs, cheese and cream and tested again, their performance declined. The students who ate a balanced diet that included fruit and vegetables, however, held steady, says Cameron Holloway, a senior clinical researcher at the University of Oxford. When you study, your brain consumes glucose, so take a five-minute break every hour to let your body produce more fuel for your studying. Eating a healthy snack is very beneficial and can make a significant difference (almonds, fruit, and yogurt are good choices).

4. Alternate study spots: Shake up your finals routine! Spending all night in the library can be draining. According to the New York Times, simply alternating the room where a person studies improves retention. In an experiment, psychologists found that college students who studied a list of 40 vocabulary words in two different rooms — one windowless and cluttered, the other modern, with a view on a courtyard — did far better on a test than students who studied the words twice, in the same room. Why? Supposedly, the brain makes subtle associations between what it is studying and the background sensations it has at the time. Try alternating your study spots between the library, a study room, and a quiet coffee house.
5. Time management: Cramming causes anxiety, which lowers your ability to retain information. By creating a balanced study plan and schedule, you will be able to study each subject in its entirety and ultimately boost your test performance.
6. Avoid the all-nighter: Almost every college student pulls an all-nighter, but it is a bad idea. Based on a 2008 study by Pamela Thacher, Associate Professor of Psychology at St. Lawrence University, all-nighters impair reasoning and memory for as long as four days. As a result, you will receive lower grades. But that’s not all; you would then be forced to wake up earlier than expected–and that’s bad too. According to Dan Taylor, director of a sleep-and-health-research lab at the University of North Texas, this will interfere with rapid-eye movement (REM), which aids memory. So, get a good night’s sleep and expect to perform better on tests. (Quick tip: Review the toughest material right)

Beat aging with Beetroot juice
Elevated to the status of a super-food owing to its many benefits, Beetroot’s deep, overpowering red juice has earned its reputation as the most bossy of vegetables.
This root fruit holds a lot of nutritional benefits, known to boost stamina, remove blemishes from the skin, prevents signs of aging, lowers blood pressure, improves liver function, boosts haemoglobin levels, reduces inflammation, helps prevent cancer and as well detoxify.
Although the leaves have always been eaten, historically the beet root was generally used medicinally for a range of ailments, including fevers, constipation and skin problems.
Beetroot is a good source of iron and folate (naturally occurring folic acid).
It also contains nitrates, betaine, magnesium and other antioxidants (notably betacyanin).
Recent health claims by the British Dietetic Association (BDA) suggest beetroot can help lower blood pressure, boost exercise performance and prevent dementia. Due to its richness in nitrates converted in our body into nitric oxide helps lower blood pressure
However further long-term trials would be needed to improved exercise performance
The dieticians verdict on beetroot juice, along with green leafy vegetables, cabbage and celery, suggest a useful amount of balanced diet as their nitrate content may help to reduce blood pressure.
“Getting active, reducing the amount of salt in your diet and maintaining a healthy weight are also key strategies for getting your blood pressure under control.”
