Use humidifier

There is a condition, called keratosis pilaris is caused by excess keratin, which usually forms a plug at the site of a hair follicle. It further leads to other skin disorders such as eczema. And the reason could be cold temperatures, hormonal changes, food allergies, or stress. This can be handled either with DermaDoctor KP Duty Scrub, ($46) or humidifier, which unplug the trapped keratin and dead skin cells that cause the bumps. The process should start at least a year before.

Dry brushing

Dry brushing is another way to get major skin benefits, including exfoliation and increased blood circulation. Basically, it whisks toxins out of our systems, thereby helping you have a beautiful skin. Should be started at least half a year before.

If you think your skin is tanned, better you get it de-tan immediately. There are several options to do that, you can do it at home also and if you want get it done at some reputable parlor. There are spray tans also available in the market which can help you get rid of tan. Also, make sure you cover yourself properly while going out in day time, use a nice sunscreen lotion before you step out. Make it your habit and start it at least 6 month before your wedding.

Hair color

Well, if by any chance you are planning to get hair color on your wedding, plan it beforehand, have a clear objective what and how you want your hair to be colored. Research online and get ideas. Trial and error will be good in this case, if you do it a year before your wedding because then you will have plenty of ideas about how will it look.

Keratin Treatment

If you are not among those lucky brides who are born with silky soft hair then keratin treatment is the way to get those hair. Also, remember that chemical straightening can cause a severe damage to your hair so better you choose keratin treatment, there are so many such treatments available in the market. Start the process 9 months before your wedding.

Head wash

It’s a myth that you should wash your hair daily or four times a week. You might not be aware that over- shampooing cause significant damage to your hair. So, it is better that you wash your head a little less and that too with a mild shampoo which is chemical free and paraben free. Start the process at least 9 months before but good to practice this all your life to have great hair.

Condition your hair

Make sure you condition your hair quite often. You can use home-made masks or conditioners for the process. Regular conditioning will help you maintain that beautiful shine of hair. You can also give a nice oil massage to your hair to avoid damaged and split hairs. A nice food to your hair for their health and rich colors. Start the process a year before but if time is a constraint then at least 3 months are a must.

Decide your wedding hair style beforehand

It is important you decide your wedding hair style beforehand it should not be a random or spontaneous decision on the day of your wedding. Talk to your hairstylist about it and know her idea. Also, do a lot of research online and get some of your favorite hairstyles to your stylist so as to let her have your idea of style beforehand. You can start it whenever you have free time or at least three months before your wedding.

Hair extensions

If you think your natural hair lack volume or your wedding hairstyle requires some extra length, then hair extensions are the best options. As, extensions can help you have variety of hairstyles on your wedding. The process will need at least two months. So, don’t delay.

Visit your dentist

Who doesn’t want that impeccable smile in her wedding pictures? Everybody wants to have gorgeous pictures of their wedding, and for that it is essential that your teeth are sparkling white. Besides, practicing regular oral care a visit to dentist before your wedding is a must. Because most often the stains which we get due to consumption of tea/coffee/alcohol etc., remains there even after brushing. So for getting rid of those stains better to visit your doctor and get your teeth cleaned. Start the process before one year of your wedding as dental issues take time.

Oral Care

Make sure you maintain a thorough oral care. It is recommended to brush and floss your teeth twice a day. Also, start oil pulling as it not only helps you maintain your oral care, but also it helps in having a perfect jaw line. Besides, make sure you clean your mouth after every meal with an ADA marked mouth wash.

Use straws for drinking alcohol and caffeine

That may sound a little bizarre but the fact is alcohol and coffee leaves stained teeth which are not good for your wedding pictures. So, it is better you have them with straw. Start practicing this at least 6 months before, even earlier the better.

Tooth whitening

If you think your teeth need tooth whitening then it is easy with myriads of tooth whitening pastes and strips available in the market. Go ahead just one month prior to your wedding.

Dental cleaning

If your teeth are stained badly or even a little bit then get your teeth cleaned at the dental clinic before your D-day. It is easy and the process hardly takes half an hour for that. Just a week or four days before your wedding go for dental cleaning.

Nourish your nails

Your nails are equally important for your perfect look at your wedding. Nails may seem smaller part of your body but remember they are most visible if not fine-tuned with your entire attire. Dry and brittle nails doesn’t look good. To have healthy nails simply start massaging your nails with oil rich with vitamin E. And start the process a year before your wedding. Because healthy nails take time to come up.

Nourish your hands & feet

Your hands and feet are equally important and it is essential you take good care of them too. First, use sunscreen whenever going out to avoid tanning. Scrub your hands and feet regularly (weekly most referred) to remove dead cells and get that glowing skin. Use a nice moisturizer. Start the procedure a year before your wedding.

Invest in regular manicures and pedicures

Your wedding is once in a lifetime event, and it is essential that you treat and pamper yourself well before your wedding. It is imperative to have that flawless skin be it your facial or other parts of the body. Start taking regular manicure and pedicure sessions. As, getting a regular manicure and pedicure is a wonderful way to care for cuticles, nourish your nails, and calm your mind. Start the process at least 3 – 5 months before your wedding.

Eye Brows

Don’t get your eye brows plucked by anyone

Your eye brows as I said plays an important role in your face, its better you do not get them plucked by anyone randomly. No matter how much a person says he is good at shaping eye brows, never trust. Shaping an eye brow is an art in itself, which not everybody perfects. See its not your hair leg which you can get waxed anywhere. Get your eyebrows done only by a reputable beautician, or else you will end up regretting your decision.

Baller Mind Frame

King James Leads His Knights to 3-2 Series Lead

Screen capture courtesy of the NBA/YouTube

Screen capture courtesy of the NBA/YouTube.

To begin my Game 4 piece, I stupidly asked the question, “How could this game be more exciting than the last?” The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls showed me by wowing the nation with a spectacular game. I never make the same mistakes twice so my expectations Game 5 were exponentially higher.

Pau Gasol was absent from the lineup for the second straight game. Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau replaced him with Taj Gibson who proved his worth in a Game 4 start. The Bulls desperately needed someone to step up and help the offense along with Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose. Those two have been phenomenal in every game this series but they needed a third helper.

Although LeBron James hit the game winning shot in Game 4, the end result would not have been the same if not for the superb three point shooting of J.R. Smith late in the fourth quarter. Because of that, I questioned if David Blatt would switch back to Smith in the starting five over Iman Shumpert who has started every game for the Cavs against the Bulls. He would stick with Shumpert but Smith was a quick sub in the first quarter for the Cavs.

The Bulls came out of the gate like a team possessed. They hit eight of their first nine shots and looked as if they would be in control early on. On the back of their energized point guard, the Bulls would hop out to an early ten point lead and Quicken Loans Arena was silent early on in the first quarter. Taj Gibson would also get himself involved early on in the first with some big rebounding and strong putbacks.

James obviously had one intention in this game. It was to take over in the paint and back Butler into the post so he could have his way with him. Cleveland would scratch their way back into the game before the quarter’s end. With the ability of LeBron to consistently cut through the lane and finish strong at the rim, the Cavaliers were finding open shooters on the wing and that trend would continue in the second quarter.

Once the second quarter arrived, it was as if the Chicago Bulls had put cinderblocks on for shoes, lethargic and out of breath. King James sensed the tiring team across from him and began to really pour on the pressure. It was becoming apparent that James understood the severity of this Game 5 and was doing anything to pull his team away from the Bulls. James’ success and energy finally rubbed off on Kyrie Irving who began to rise from his early series grave, hitting the same big threes he has all season.

With Shumpert becoming that “third man” for the Cavaliers, the Bulls were stuck in the same Butler and Rose limbo that has cost them two games already this series. No other player for Chicago could answer the bell. Rose was beginning to understanding that his offensive ability alone was capable of propelling his team in this intense Game 5.

With five minutes remaining in the half, the Bulls were on another one of their signature scoring droughts. This one was going on six minutes without a bucket before they changed their fortune. Amazingly, all series the Bulls have stayed close with the Cavs even when they can’t get a basket. Tonight was starting to look a little different as the King was clearly in control of the game and showed no intentions of giving it away to anybody. Even Butler attempted a hostile takeover, but a hard foul from Tristan Thompson would extinguish that flame. Thompson was also making his presence felt at the other end with offensive rebounds and beautiful put backs.

The long series was beginning to take its toll on the Bulls who were 0-8 from three point land with three to go in the half. Most notably Jimmy Butler only had six points at that stage of the game and wasn’t doing as well guarding LeBron as he had in the previous games. Not to mention he tossed up a horrendous three bomb that hit nothing but air. Fatigue was apparent.

Cleveland’s 12-point lead seemed like 22 as the quarter was coming to a close. James was converting any shot he wanted to take as well as finding an open Shumpert in the final minute giving him his sole assist of the half. Also, Joakim Noah would show us all that his portrait would remain on the milk carton because he would remain missing from this series. His third foul of the half would send him to the bench pleading with his coach to leave him in the game before the half.

Even if Thibodeau had left Noah in the game in, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. LeBron James was the first half monster with 24 first half points along with five rebounds and only one assist. 16 of his points came in the second quarter, and it looked as if that play would continue into the second half. Rose would not be outdone with 14 point of his own.

Just like in the previous game, Rose came out and hit a hard bank shot to get his team going in the third. With the lead at six, the Bulls began to make stops but turnovers would end some easy fast break opportunities. Rose and Butler were no longer waiting around for anyone else on the team to step up and were only concerned with tying the game. Their concerns created worry in Blatt because a steal from Rose, who would assist on the Butler layup at the other end, would lead to a Cleveland timeout.

Cleveland came out of the timeout with a smaller lineup. Timofey Mozgov would sit, bringing James Jones in the game. This created a giant mismatch for Gibson who is above average in the post. Noah would take advantage of his team’s size on the floor and finally get his second bucket of the game, capping off his team’s 8-0 run.

Irving would do his best to get the home crowd involved and a beautiful pull-up jumper would do just that. He would again get the fans on their feet with a fast break layup keeping his team’s lead at a comfortable six. LeBron’s three point shots continued to miss, but the Bulls Mike Dunleavy was hitting threes and heating up. Although the Cavs were missing their shots initially, Thompson was getting his team plenty of second chances. Thompson has made a name for himself in this series as one of the best offensive rebounders in the league.

The Cavaliers were steadily keeping the league at three, but with five minutes left in the third quarter, fans began to get the vibe that this was going to be another great game until the end. That lead must have been frustrating to Noah who went on to pick up his fourth foul and a technical foul within 15 seconds of each other. Giving the Cavs free points was something the Bulls could not do.

The lead was cut to one by a Butler layup. It quickly ballooned to seven off back to back Kyrie Irving three pointers, one of those coming off a James assist. With all of the offensive success for Cleveland happening, something had to step up for the Bulls. It was Mike Dunleavy. Dunleavy had scored 11 of the Bulls previous 14 points with two minutes remaining in the third, briefly taking over as the third helper Chicago needed.

With the clocking nearing zero for the third quarter, LeBron James was putting on a basketball clinic. He was stealing, rebounding, swatting, stripping, driving, shooting, scoring and playing hype man for the band that was Quicken Loans Arena. The lead was at a half-high 12 points for the Cavaliers and the home crowd was ballistic. All the momentum was with the Cavaliers until Bulls breakout rookie Nikola Mirotic made a half-court buzzer beater that cut the Cavs lead to single digits, doubling as a mute button to the fans. The King was not going to relinquish a nine point lead without a battle.

The Bulls were starting to look like the Golden State Warriors in the start of the fourth, nothing but three ball after three ball. It works for the Warriors…that’s it! No one else should ever shoot as many three’s as that team but Chicago was. It was costing them the game. The missed field goals and growing lead caused aggravation that all came to a head underneath the Bulls’ basket.

Taj Gibson and Cavaliers role player Matthew Dellavedova crumbled to the floor. Gibson was the first to get up and looked as if he had kicked Dellavedova once he was on his feet, but upon replay we saw that Dellavedova initiated extra contact by locking Gibson’s legs with his own. Unbelievably, Gibson was ejected which was a huge blow to the Bulls already missing Gasol. With the lead at 14 for the Cavs, it was looking as if the Bulls were looking to Thursday’s game 6.

The intensity of Cleveland and determination of LeBron could not be matched by the Bulls. The lead was at 17 when Thibodeau finally put a merciful stop to the onslaught Cleveland was raging on his team. Gibson and Gasol being gone was hindering the Bulls from stopping the spectacular above the rim play of Tristan Thompson. A monstrous alley-oop to Thompson from Dellavedova would stamp a 20-7 run for the Cavs.

LeBron would hit a ridiculous three to essentially sum up the night the Bulls were having. It was his first made three of the game and he was falling away out of bounds with Butler all over him. It looked improbable. The Bulls night was just that, totally improbable. Even with the great game James was having, everyone expected it to be closer. It was improbable that Gibson would get tossed. That fade away three from James summed up the night perfectly. So I guess it was only right that Chicago would begin an IMPROBABLE comeback. With four minutes to go in the game, the Bulls had cut the Cavs lead to four with a 18-5 run.

The making open shots and team defense was keeping the Bulls alive as well as the great three-point shooting of Dunleavy in the final quarter. Dellavedova would commit a huge turnover late in the quarter with the score of 101 to 96 in favor of the Cavaliers. A scramble for the ball was originally ruled Cavs ball but upon further review it was overturned. That would end up being a big turnover as it finally led to a three-point shot from Butler cutting the lead to two. Somehow the Bulls made the game close, after being down 17 in the same quarter.

The King would go on to royally block a Derek Rose layup that looked like a sure thing, a moment that proved to be the dagger of Game 5. James would carry his team to the end of the game. Finishing this astonishing Game 5 with a game-high 38 points. His supporting cast stepped up and played exceptionally well in a pivotal game. Rose only hit seven of his 24 shots, making only one basket in the second half for an underwhelming 16 points. Butler scored 29 but his team will never win a game in which James has almost 40 points.

Chicago will head home for a Game 6 on Thursday in a win or go home situation. How will this stagnant Bulls’ offense respond? More importantly, can the King be stopped at this point?

Can Maladaptive Daydreaming Be Treated?

Maladaptive daydreaming is a controversial condition in which an individual daydreams to an abnormal amount – such that it begins to have negative impacts on their real day to day life. The condition will vary between different people in terms of the symptoms and severity, but commonly it can described as having the following features:

• The individual experiences highly immersive daydreams that seem hyper real – and that at times may be scary or confusing.

• The individual develops emotional attachment to the characters in the daydreams, and to the situations.

• They may express emotion in accordance with their daydreams – for instance laughing, crying, smiling or frowning during their daydream.

• Often there is a described link between the daydreaming and music. Either the individual uses music in order to incite daydreams, or they find themselves unable to stop when they hear music.

• The daydreaming is compulsive and the individual finds it hard to stop – even to the detriment of other activities and behaviors.

• Often there is some form of tick or movement/behavior that the individual engages in unconsciously while daydreaming – such as tapping a pencil, chewing nails or bobbing their leg up and down.

• In some cases, individuals report feeling light headed or experiencing headaches following their daydreams.

• Individuals may exhibit some symptoms that are similar to ADHD and other disorders – such as short attention spans and general detachment from reality.

The definition and diagnosis of maladaptive daydreaming is something that is still debated and it has yet to achieve official status. Thus there is currently relatively little research into the topic and few decisive courses of action recommended by doctors. However there is a huge amount of support for ‘MDers’ as they are known online collectively and many forums.

However that said, it is possible to make some educated guesses as to the causes and possible treatment for maladaptive daydreaming by drawing parallels to other conditions.

The causes of maladaptive daydreaming are potentially numbers. The term was originally coined in order to refer specifically to one form of maladaptive daydreaming – that being daydreams that are triggered by traumatic events in the past such as abuse. However the term is today used more broadly to accept many different causes and forms of daydreaming.

Often daydreaming is used as a form of ‘escapism’ and this suggests that an individual is unhappy with their real lives. For instance if someone creates ‘imaginary friends’ then often this might be as a substitute for real friends and that person might feel lonely. Meanwhile if the individual experiences daydreams of being a superhero and fighting crimes and flying, it may be that they feel ‘powerless’ in their day-to-day lives. Someone who dislikes their job may daydream of punching their boss, or someone who is sexually frustrated may have daydreams with explicit sexual content.

Today’s culture also seems highly likely to trigger daydreams – as we spend much of our lives sedentary and in doors, while reading about, watching and controlling fictional heroes doing extraordinary things.

If you do not get enough REM sleep, then studies have shown the possibility of dreams ‘bleeding’ into your daylight hours. Daydreaming could also be linked to various psychological conditions, such as schizophrenia (visual hallucinations) or psychosis.

Management Techniques

As mentioned, there is no official ‘treatment’ for MD as it is not recognized as a condition officially. However there are some methods you can use yourself to address the symptoms, and the online communities suffering from the conditions have suggested various methods for preventing the tendency from getting in the way of everyday life.

Tell Friends and Family

Alert your friends and family of your problem and ask them to nudge you whenever they notice the patterns of your daydreaming.

Set Alarms

When you are in the house alone, set an alarm on your phone to go off and then press snooze every time it does. This will sound an alarm every five-ten minutes that can hopefully startle you out of a daydream should you be having one.

Combat Tiredness

If you are tired then you are going to be more likely to experience distracting daydreams. Avoid this by making sure you get lots of high quality sleep. Sleep for eight hours a time, make sure to create a conducive environment for sleeping (shutting out all light and noise) and address any issues such as sleep apnea. If you don’t think you are getting enough sleep then attend a sleep clinic where you can have your sleep monitored.

Use Caffeine

If you are still drifting off in meetings and lectures then try using something to keep you more awake such as tea or coffee which will increase your metabolism thereby keeping you more awake and preventing daydreams.

Identify Triggers

You should also try to identify the triggers that may be causing you to daydream. Keep a diary of when you daydream and the other significant events leading up to it. Perhaps browsing the web causes it, or perhaps music. Once you identify the trigger you can then be sure to guard against it more at these times, or avoid that stimulus altogether. Even better is to identify the psychological triggers that lead to daydreaming as in cognitive behavioral therapy. Learn to identify when you are starting to slip into daydream and then identify techniques to combat this.

Address Underlying Issues

If you are daydreaming as a form of escapism or to create imaginary friends, or as catharsis for sexual frustration, then the daydreaming is really just a symptom of a more complex problem. Address the underlying cause of your daydream and try to make your life happier and fuller to prevent the ‘need’ for daydreaming.

Daydreams are not always maladaptive, and in fact they serve a great way for us to make plans and visualize the futures we want. Make an effort to take the themes of your daydreams – and to make them a reality.

Therapy can help you to identify these underlying causes, and can teach you to have better control over your thoughts. ‘Cognitive Behavioral Therapy’ is one particularly good form of therapy that will help you to control and recognize your thought patterns better.

In rare cases medication might be necessary such as anti-psychotics or antidepressants might help to combat the symptoms (in conjunction with therapy). Make sure though that you always consult a doctor and do not consider self medicating which can have numerous negative side effects.

  • I have this condition, and it was causing for me dysfunction in study and work, until I discovered I have BAD, it was much decreased with mood stabilizers and antipsychotics.

  • What if you have this problem and you know it's not ok but you want to live it in some imaginary machine. Does anything like that exist?

  • I have daydreamed excessively since 1987. It has affected a lot in my life. I daydream about everything. The triggers are so many. If someone annoys me I daydream for hours about beating them up; If I meet a nice Lady I daydream about being with her; If I see a great Movie I daydream about making the highest grossing movie ever etc. This article has helped me to realize that I am not alone. Thank you.

  • Excellent article which explains this condition in lay terms and immensely helps understand it well. Practical tips/hints for treatment and very sensible suggestions. Thanks for this!

  • I am very shocked and amazed that this disorder I have actually have a name to it. I thought I was crazy and really needed help, but after reading so many peoples responses; I now see that I am not alone. I wonder if this is genetically passed on through generations because my mother has it too, which made me more confused about it. Wow I am only 17 years old and I am really happy that I am not alone.

  • I'm also suffering in this kind of condition and I feel so frustrated. I'm always not aware that I'm wasting my whole day in daydreaming until I noticed that I'm becoming irresponsible and lazy. Anyway, thank you very much for a very helpful tips and information. I hope I'll become better = )

  • After years of wondering what the hell was wrong with me, didn't have the courage to ask because I thought I was a freak. Jeez, this article is a relief.

  • It was a while back I realized I had this. My entire life I had been daydreaming without noticing!! I only started to notice something was off once I started doing a specific thing when I daydreamed which was pacing. But then the pacing was turns into running and really hurts my chest, because the tissue around my ribs inflames easily, pressing against my lungs. But I can't stop doing it. I'm not old enough to move out and with my parents having their new baby I can't find any time to daydream. I know this should be a good thing but it's just making me more frustrated than relieved. I'm not going to just start running back and forth through the house while they're here, I'll look crazy. And I've told them I think I have maladaptive daydreaming, but they're deaf and tend to forget a lot of things I try to talk to them about. I feel like I'm in too deep. Even when my chest hurts, and I'm out of breath, and sweat is literally dripping down my forehead, I just can't stop. I don't want to either, that's what scares me.

  • This describes so many of the issues I have been facing for years. What if I don't want to get better? I know it is affecting my daily life but it brings me untold amounts of joy to constantly daydream. I know I have an issue, but I am scared to lose this.

  • This disorder is all too real for me. Two years ago I went through my worst phase with it. I cut myself off from family and friend, staying in bed all day, alternating between looking at outfits and celebrities in magazines and daydreaming elaborate scenarios for my idealised personalities.

    I literally had to force myself out of bed to do mundane things like washing and cleaning my apartment. On several occasions I would get up with a clear purpose of doing something productive for the day, but feel too depressed to follow through. I would wake up and shower, only to get back into my robe and crawl into bed.

    Thanks for bringing attention to this disorder.

  • Really informative and not too much to take in, I'm surprised I read it all before slipping into another process.

  • Excellent article! For almost my entire life I felt like a freak, it has helped so much to know that there other people with the same condition!

  • This was very helpful to me. I have suffered with this condition for probably 30+ years. I now finally know what to explain to my Dr. I am afraid to tell any family or friends though, I don't want to be rejected or judged by them. It is however, comforting to put a name to it and know I am not alone.

  • I have just realised I have this condition, it's such a comfort knowing I am not alone and not completely nuts, I was beginning to worry about myself. Not sure how I will explain this to those close to me, but I will try. Thank you so much XX

  • Thank you! This page helped me understand things I was unsure of, and gave me the information nobody and nothing could give me. Thank you.

  • There is a website called dedicated to people with MD, the website is to basically post/write about your daydreams instead of letting all your imagination go to waste, try it!

  • oh no… I wish I didn't have this problem… I'm 17 and I have to study hard to go to university but MD waste my time… I'm full of stress, I need help…

  • Hello, I'm a 17 year old who believes that I suffer from maladaptive daydreaming. Since I have been in middle school I have spent hours daydreaming and during the summer I have spent days. I usually pace back and forth while daydreaming sometimes I run. This has honestly impacted my life for the worst. I really need support I'm going to be a senior this school year and I'm off to college and I don't want this to impact the road of my life. It feels good to know that I'm not alone.

  • There is a new 12-step group called Escapism and Fantasy Addicts Anonymous that might be a good resource for maladaptive daydreamers.

  • I do not think there is a treatment for maladaptive dreamers. None of these here help, unless you are a MDer for a short time. If you are one less than a year, I think you could find the escape. I, MDer for around 5 years, haven't found anything that would help me. It started so innocently and it turned into something that makes me happy yet kills me inside.

    The thing about escapism is very very true – in last couple of years, my imaginary world has helped me through a lot and if I didn't create it those years ago, I do not know if I could be writing this comment. I became so unhappy 2 years ago and I fell in depression. I do not have just one world that kept me happy inside, there more. Though there is that one main world that I live in every day.

    Well, back to the treatment part. Don't know how about other MDers, but I think I will get rid of it partly when I become happy again. By happy I mean very very happy. Maybe when I get married or have children. Maybe have the job of my dreams that distracts me a lot to the point there is no time to do that (which would be hell of a magical job that I am so desperate for).

    If I ever told my parents, they'd think I am a psychopath and they'd tell me to stop talking non sense. If I told my friends – well I did, but they still have no idea. As much as I help them with their personal things, they never help me back. They can listen, but when I told them, they no longer cared or they said "wow that's cool". It's became kind of a drug to me. Sorry if my English isn't that good, I am not a native speaker, but I tried! 😀

  • I think I daydream a good 30-40% of my day daily. Which doesn't sound like a lot but kind of is. I've been diagnosed with OCD since 11 and I do tic and zone out as a trigger. Triggers could be music, tv, comics, emotions, certain thoughts, like crushes, stress, etc. I think depression has something to do with it as well. I think that Maladaptive Daydreaming could be more of a symptom than a problem or could start off as a coping mechanism that stemmed from a problem and then turned into its own thing. I have been seen acting out my daydreams from time to time and I guess that can make me seem psychotic. I don't know, it's just funnier living in my mind than in real life.

  • I have had this condition ever since I could remember. I was very young. My family knows about this because I used to pace around the table every time I watched TV. When they asked what I was doing I said, "thinking." They didn't do anything about it because they thought it was normal. Now I'm 16 and I just discovered that it the thing has a name! But the problem is that I don't really want to let go…

  • Wow, this whole article describes what I've just though was normal -_- to make this worse I have Non 24hr Circadian Rythm disorder which means living a normal life with a 9-5 job tends to leave me without that high-quality sleep most of the time (until my sleep cycle realigns, then I'm ok for a few days). Who would I go to see if I wanted to get checked out for this?

  • I'm sixteen and I think I have this disorder. I'm hard of hearing and I was also just diagnosed with Asperger syndrome so I'm not too sure what's going on inside my head. I remember when I first started daydreaming when I was around 2 about kids shows like Dragon Tails while I was waiting to fall asleep and just making complex story lines, then when I was around 5 I just started daydreaming while I was doing everyday activities like walking to school or painting, and just started daydreaming about anything and everything. Since then I have learned to function at my job and school while daydreaming excessively and tried numerous times to stop. I find it very relieving to know that I am not alone and there is research being conducted on this.

  • This fits me 100%. Thank you for writing this article. The only question I personally need to face now is, "Do I really want to leave?"

    Also, should I tell one of my closest friends about it? My family knows about it, and my teachers apparently do too, because of mother. I don't want the whole world knowing how weird I am, but should I trust one of my closest friends?

  • I believe that I suffer from maladaptive daydreaming. My mother was an addict, and was sent away to rehab. My dad was always working, and I was at daycare and felt like I never had a lot of attention. I grew comfortable being by myself. I used dolls and paced around the room, creating stories in my head. I'm now 13 and don't use dolls anymore. Instead I use pictures to help create stories, along with music. I want to get rid of it, but I also don't want to. I remember doing it one time in front of my family at Christmas, and being laughed at by them. I knew it wasn't normal then. I never knew that there were others like me, and it's so reliving to find out that. I'm trying to get help. Wish me luck.

  • I honestly had no idea that other people struggled with this same problem. I've been dealing with this even since I was in middle school and I didn't even notice I was doing it until I read this article.

  • I am 40 now & I think it started at the age of 14-15 for me. I do know it’s NOT real & is imaginary, so I am NOT crazy, delusional, psychotic or schizophrenic. But some of the things I do sure look crazy.

    1. I will talk out aloud. I will imagine the situation or person (imaginary) to be sitting in front of me. I will talk out aloud to that person in a high voice. That person will also talk back to me in a loud voice (basically it’s just me talking back to myself, but as the other person).

    2. I will gesture. Pace the room. Body language, everything. I will really get into it.

    Usually my triggers are NEGATIVE. Like someone insults me or annoys me & I don't do anything about it. Later on I will daydream about that situation, and enact the whole thing out, with loud voice, pacing, gestures, body language. But this time I will have the upper hand. I will also imagine an audience in front of whom all this happens.

    Everything feels, looks & sounds hyper real to me, but I KNOW it’s not real, so it’s not delusions or hallucinations or voices in my head. I clearly know the difference between reality & the fantasy.

  • Since grade school until now at 36, I am still experiencing this excessive daydreaming. I thought I'm alone with this battle until I tried to search for this disorder yesterday. I'm so relieved there are a lot there who can share their experiences on how to combat this sickness. I sweat excessively, my hands and lips shiver but I couldn't stop daydreaming even if I know it's the cause. I am anti-social. I have few friends and I don't like people staring at me. Today, I managed to stop daydreaming every time it's about to start. I don't know if it would work for you but surely it does have an effect to me for a day. I am currently reading the book THE POWER of NOW. It's like a meditation to stop yourself from thinking the past and future, and only lets you focus on the present. I am planning to read meditation books afterwards. I hope it works for you too.

  • I can't believe there are other people like this and it has a name! I'm 31 and have done this since been very little. My father was very abusive and I did it as a way to escape my life. I also have mental health disorders. I have such a very vivid imagination and the character of myself that I have created in my daydreams has been perfected over my whole life. I'm incredibly attached to her and I could never stop my daydreams. She is the total opposite to me in every way, her lifestyle too. These last 5 or so years though I find myself immensely unsatisfied with my real life, because of this fantasy life I have dreamt of for 25 years. I think it's because I know now I am older it is too late to ever achieve a life as wonderful as my daydream life. I don't know how to get over this feeling. It's making me very apathetic about life, and suicidal but in a very apathetic sense not in an overly emotional way. Does anyone else have this issue? I can't get over this being a "thing". I've felt so embarrassed about this and have never disclosed this even in therapy. This is blowing my mind. If anyone feels the same as me and would like to have a conversation about this let me know on here and I will set up an email address and post it. I'm really struggling with this feeling I'm having and really really need to change this as I have children and I just don't want to be here anymore.

  • A good friend of mine has this condition, but she doesn't want it to stop… she says she wants to live in a daydream world instead of reality. Her life isn't actually that bad, and she is a very confident person… it makes me wonder if she was faking the whole thing for attention from me and her divorced parents. That could be why she forbid me to tell anyone… I don't know if I'm mad at her or just disappointed.

  • This article helps me a lot and it is very relieving that I am not only one who has this kind of condition. I am now seventeen and I have this kind of condition since I was young and I only noticed it now when my guardian noticed me that I'm daydreaming. Maybe she noticed me because she has knowledge of psychology. I thought that I'm crazy but then when I read this article, it helps me a lot. I don't know where this condition came from because I think my mother and my sister have this kind of condition and maybe I have this condition because I'm abused verbally from my previous guardian when I was young because I am a working student. I don't know how to tell my family and friends about it I want this out of my life. I'm sorry if I have a wrong grammar.

  • I'm almost 17 and glad I found this now. I have noticed many triggers and never knew what it was. I was starting to think that I was crazy and started telling myself that I should ignore it all. My grades have been going down, year by year because of my daydreaming. It seems as if the more stressed I get, the more daydreaming I do. It also increases if I'm alone or in a quiet place. I told my friend about it and had her help me do some research on it and she even noticed something she does. We found a little quiz also and took it and got the highest score. It gave us some links to groups of people who also have the disorder. We can now try to knock each other out of them if we are starting to have one.

  • This really explains a lot… I was sexually, physically, and emotionally abuse as a child. I started having these day dreams since childhood. I would describe myself as more of an introvert but for the most part I am a normal adult. But when I am by myself, I find myself very restless like bouncing my leg, tapping pens, and pacing back and forth. I always knew that my childhood had maybe caused me to constantly daydream and I am practically an insomniac. I feel relieve, I kept thinking maybe I had signs of Multiple Identity disorder or schizophrenia but I know the daydreams are not real and I know who I am. It's just when I feel stressed, Lonely, listen to music, read a good book… I just daydream. It doesn't distract me from work or school, maybe more socially than anything. I learned to use an white noise app to help get more sleep and I have been encouraging myself to hang out more with friends and choose a career that involved communication with staff and patients. It does not really stop and I feel like due to my childhood, it was just something that developed to help me cope. I believe it's just a coping method. It's a relieve to give it a name, I literally thought I was going crazy and did not know how to approach it. It scared me but I feel less worried about the situation and maybe feel more comfortable bring up to family or even my Dr. if I felt that it was becoming a serious problem. I know it use to worry my mom seeing her child talk, laughing, smiling to herself. I feel more at ease as I can differentiate between daydreaming and reality.

  • I've now read many articles about this and I never knew it was a thing, day dreaming was like a escape from reality. In my dreams I've built this whole life of what I want and I've had past relationships with people who I've never met in real life! My dreams aren't all perfect so I feel like that has emotionally scarred me, I never realized how badly this affected me. I've been daydreaming for around 3 years, which may not be long compared to other people with this disorder but it has become a daily thing. I have major social anxiety so whenever I'm forced to go out in public I imagine a character from my dream is there. Or I daydream. I can't listen to music without zoning out and dreaming. I honestly thought I was crazy but seeing how many other people suffer with this makes me feel a lot better. Thank you, this article was wonderful.

  • What do you do when you have had this problem since you were 5 years old and just noticed how bad and how long you have had it.

  • I have excessive maladaptive day dreaming. It is very hard to be in the world. I am almost totally in the dream world like when driving, working, cooking, bathing whenever wherever. I have severe headaches, excessive irritation, and untimely anger. Attention problems. Memory problems. It is hard to sleep. It is impossible to avoid dreaming. I have high suicidal tendencies. I have approached psychologists two times and got medicated but there is no improvement. They even conducted a lot of tests on my head. Man it is hell. Can anyone help me with this? Would anybody help me by giving me tips to avoid it.

  • Very good article. I would also like to add the point that there may be extensive movements for some maladaptive daydreamers. E.g. If I daydream like I am dancing, I may literally dance in the real world. Daydreamers try to isolate themselves as much as possible. When they come out of their extensive daydreams, they are aware (painfully aware) of the reality.

  • I’m 15 years old and I have been daydreaming for as long as I have been alive, but I have almost full control over my daydreams. I’m not sure if it has any correlation, but I am also able to control my dreams during the night and have even continued dreams from previous nights or during the day. Maybe MD and lucid dreaming could be related?

  • I think I may have this, and I do this at school and I sometimes can't pay attention for more than like 5-10 minutes without subconsciously drifting off and doing this. I also have trouble getting out of bed in the morning because of it.

  • I feel I have it. It's been on continuation since I was 11 and I can't seem to stop. It hasn't affected me harshly until I went to college. The more course work I had to more I wanted to daydream instead. It sucks. Most of my triggers are music, tv, movies. Daydreaming is very relaxing to me but I can do it all day long sometimes and I have a lot of work to do.

  • Wow… I figured out after reading several articles on Maladaptive Daydreaming that I started daydreaming after I was sexually harassed by my adopted cousin when I was seven. I now daydream whenever I can. It's not good. I know it's bad but I can't leave my dreams. They comfort and smooth me. They're what make me, me. I can't stop it, I've tried. I'll find myself drifting off into one. The only triggers I can think of are music and sleep. Music is my entire life though. I can't stop listening to music. And it's not like I can stop sleeping. I had depression very badly and recently I've been thinking its back, so I'll have to address this with my therapist this week. I'm scared though. My parents think I'm always begging for attention, because I want to be poplar and crap, but I don't. I just want friends and to be happy. I want their approval and praise. They're part of my depression and maladaptive daydreaming. I don't know what to do.

  • I had no idea this was a real thing! Even as I read the article the first time and the comments below I was letting them turn into stories in my head. Before finding the name for this, I thought I was just weird (well let's be honest, I prolly am…) But now I know I'm not alone! I did lose a lot of sleep at night, and end up daydreaming during school. It had gotten bad. I'm almost 18, and this was making my life really hard to concentrate on. I still try to avoid it during the day, but it is helped me to embrace it at night. During the day I try to keep myself busy with going out with friends, even if all we do is go sit somewhere and talk. I can normally keep myself too busy to daydream. As for at night and in the mornings I like to let it happen, but keep it in check. If I daydream about something good before I sleep, I end up sleeping better, and I don't let the dream get too complicated before then. I wake up early in the morning. Earlier than everyone else, and while I eat breakfast, I let the stories out again. I've found that this helps me better concentrate on most of my day. It doesn't banish the rest if the daydreams out of my life, but devoting a little time to them every day keeps them at bay the majority of the time. Hope I could help someone else out there 🙂

  • I've suffered from and eating disorder and I've been pretty sad for majority of my life. I started maladaptive daydreaming since I was 9. I'm 21 now and never thought this was a bad thing, it's been a really good coping skill for me.

  • I thought I was alone with this, until I read this.

    I can identify to this very strongly, and have been suffering with MD since I was 6 years old.

    It makes a lot of sense.

  • I am relieved cause I thought I was the only one like this. It has really affected my life so much. I get really frustrated sometimes and can't even tell my family cause am embarrassed and they will probably think am a freak or something. Thanks a lot.

  • I recently came across this term and I couldn't believe how accurately it describes what I do. I thought I was the only one and I've never told anyone about what I do or how much this has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I really thought I was crazy so I kept it very hidden. I can't imagine telling anyone in my life.

  • I'm not alone, thankfully. I've had problems with this, but it makes me so happy. It was a way for me to escape rejection from everyone around me because that's kind of how my entire childhood went, so I resorted to imaginary friends and situations. I'd not just pace around, I'd act it. I'd voice it. I do it everywhere, that my parents are genuinely concerned about it. Apparently it's strange.

    But this makes me so happy, so what if I don't want to let go?

  • @ Comment #35 (Posted by Lea)

    I hope you come back to read comments at some point because I swear what you wrote could have been written by me (almost word for word) about my experiences with maladaptive daydreaming. I don't have the children, but

  • I am glad to know that at least has some name… I always escapes from stress and anxiety this is the only to do so… I know this is not a right way so I surely stop this… well I know it needs time but I really want to be happy in my real life!

The "snack table" at work a couple of weeks ago.

First let me say, I am in no way looking a recovery horse in the mouth. I am so grateful to be recovered from binge eating disorder and am still amazed by what it is to live a life that’s not dictated by food. That said, I was thinking a couple of days ago that being normal about food isn’t always smiles and rainbows.

For one thing, you have to deal with choice. On a daily basis—actually multiple times a day. Because everything’s allowed, and nothing is “bad,” you actually have to make decisions about what you’re going to put in your mouth. When I was actively bingeing, I was out of control and never felt like I had a choice. I was being driven by the desperation and emotional need inside me and simply had to give it what it wanted, and as much as it wanted.

Then, farther along in my recovery when I started going to a support group that recommended having a “food plan” I had another force governing me. Rules that—although they were much more mentally healthy for me than the way I had lived before—were still not quite normal. (Did anyone see Huge last week? The camp director had this line where she said, “I don’t eat in motor vehicles,” and it reminded me of myself in those days.) Like, I had a rule that I didn’t eat free food at work. It made things easier, because I didn’t have to wonder, “Is this emotional eating if I have a cupcake at So-and-So’s birthday party? Is it real hunger that’s making me grab a handful of these chips?” I just didn’t ever eat any of it. I also avoided most trigger foods, so there were a lot of things I didn’t eat: Crackers, cookies, chocolate candy, donuts, fried stuff. The rules I had were very helpful to me at the time, but they were pretty black and white.

It was like the pendulum swung from one end which was absolute anarchy and primal need to the other, which was too much control.

Now, I really feel like I am a normal eater. I am not afraid of any food, nothing is off limits, I tune in to see what my body needs, then try to give it to myself. But other than that, I pretty much don’t have any rules. The freedom is sort of miraculous. But at the same time, I now have to deal with things—like normal body changes, weight fluctuations, and making decisions about nutrition—that I’ve never had to before.

I was talking with some coworkers the other day about how crazy our snacks table is in the office. How it’s really, truly, insane how many edibles are just lying around here, and how easy it is to just mindlessly grab a taste of this or handful of that. We were all kind of laughing about how everyone gains weight when they first start working here and I realized how…normal and mundane it all was. It struck me how candy dishes and mindless eating are something that 100 percent normal eaters deal with, and that I was truly one of them.

I will gladly take these kinds of “difficulties” over the ones I had before. But, just like you learn in recovery that being thin doesn’t make everything perfect, I’m realizing that being a normal eater doesn’t make everything—or me—perfect either. Oh, life lessons.

Have you learned any life lessons lately? About food, yourself, black and white thinking, perfectionism? Please share! xo…Sunny

4 Responses to Hey, Wait, I Thought You Said Things Would be Perfect When I Got "Normal"!

  1. Perfection is a myth. There is no such thing. Even if someone reaches a perfect from their own ideal, someone else will see flaw in it. Everyone has a different idea of what perfect is, so trying to achieve an overall level of perfection is impossible.

  2. As always, excellent post, Sunny! Very thought-provoking.

    When I healed my relationship with food and my body, I just assumed that now I’d officially be perfect. What I mean by that is that I figured that once I started having a healthy body image, I’d never “feel fat” again or I wouldn’t revert, sometimes, to my negative thinking of years ago.

    So I basically transferred my perfectionism from wanting to follow a diet perfectly and wanting to have a perfect body to being the model of positive body image. I also struggled with wanting to be perfect, because I felt like I had to set a good example for readers.

    Once I realized what I was doing, and wrote a post about my own struggles, I started catching myself whenever these perfectionistic tendencies would strike.

    The key with food, your body, whatever… is flexibility. That’s what normal eating is (have you read Ellyn Satter’s definition of normal eating? She emphasizes flexibility). That’s what a positive body image is, too. We all struggle from time to time, and it’s important to be flexible and kind to ourselves at every step.

  3. Carly says:

    I’ve learned that it’s okay to let myself have some candy every once in awhile, and I can trust myself not to eat the whole box of cookies. I now know that I can have just one or two and then put them away. Also, if I happen to go a little overboard on birthday cake or ice cream every once in awhile, it’s okay! Normal eaters do indulge sometimes, so it’s nothing to beat myself up over. The key for me has been trusting myself and finding a balance. And if I happen to let the junk food win once in awhile, the world won’t come to an end, and I’ll get right back to healthy and normal eating habits :)

  4. […] it would be all those years ago when I first started wishing for it. It’s really…imperfect, and normal and sometimes messy, just like life. But guess what? The guilt is gone, and so is the shame, and the obsession. More […]

Is This The Reason Healthcare Simulation Isn’t Main Stream?

clinical simulation in nursing

Key Nursing Educators have spoken against the use of simulation for a very bizarre reason. In the latest “Clinical Simulation in NursingJournal December 2016 Volume 12, Issue 12, INACSL Journal Editor Suzan “Suzie” Kardong-Edgren explains a major misunderstanding about the use of healthcare simulation.

In the edition, Suzie provides a powerful reminder about the challenges faced for simulation in nursing education, and “what simulation is and how it is evolving”. In our opinion, the laggards of simulation technology adoption will cite any and every reason to reject modern advances in educational practices as the scapegoat for systematic failures. Another must-read commentary by one of our community’s most influential thought leaders entitled “High Fidelity Educators” which you can read here:

Sponsored Content:

“A recent Researchgate citation alert led me to a most interesting editorial by Dean, Williams, and Balnaves (2016) entitled Living dolls and nurses without empathy. The lack of general understanding about what simulation is and how it is evolving, demonstrated in the editorial, provided fodder for thoughtful commentaries from many in the simulation community. This evolving commentary can be found in the blog section of the Journal of Advanced Nursing. It is well worth a read.

It remains very clear that a segment of the nursing education community does not understand that simulation is not about the manikin. However, learner deficits identified during simulation can be easily scapegoated because of the use of simulation. The upshot of the Dean et al. editorial is that nursing students are demonstrating less empathy and that the use of plastic dolls contributes to this. I contend a noted lack of empathy is not new (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2010) but that we can clearly see it now during simulation.

Part of the skill set required of a simulation educator is choosing the right kind of simulation (standardized patient, manikin, or task trainer) to accomplish a learning outcome. It is probably not ideal to have a learning outcome of empathy embedded in a manikin-based simulation, but it is certainly possible. Many of us have seen student learners crying at the end of a manikin-based scenario.

Simulation has allowed us to more clearly identify those students who might lean toward a less empathic nature. I might not have noticed a lack of student empathy with a real patient in the past because I, as the faculty member, was there, beside the student and interacting empathetically with a patient, whether the student was capable of doing so or not. In reality, we know our students’ skills and abilities much better after a simulation than we know their abilities within the clinical setting. I became a much more astute educator after seeing my verbally skilled students say some unbelievable things to patients, during simulation.

Sponsored Content:

Working in simulation, one becomes a high-fidelity educator. Admittedly, manikins provide only partial fidelity. The facilitator sets the scene, the mood, observes, diagnoses, and debriefs the scenario. If fidelity is defined as the “degree of accuracy to which a simulation, whether it is physical, mental, or both, represents a given frame of reality in terms of cues and stimuli, and permissible action” (Tun, Alinier, Tang, & Kneebone, 2015 p. 164), it is the educator (facilitator) who orchestrates this fidelity and brings it home, during the debriefing. Students missing opportunities to develop or demonstrate empathetic communication skills can be debriefed in a simulation setting and can try it again, preparing for real patients and families. Arguably, the best clinical educators today are those who work in both simulation and the clinical setting. They are true high-fidelity educators.”

O’Quinn Wins Again! Undefeated Detroit Bantamweight Sends Mexico’s Esquivel Through the Ropes in Second Round TKO Victory

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn continued building his reputation as one of Detroit’s most promising young fighters on Friday night with a second-round stoppage of former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico.

Fighting at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, O’Quinn (now 10-0-1, 7 KOs) showed why he is so highly regarded by sending Esquivel through the ropes for a TKO victory at 2:56 of round two.

Esquivel, a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBC FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion, had no answer to the fast and powerful hands of O’Quinn. He falls to 30-16-1, 23 KOs.

“Christian Esquivel was a world title challenger and an experienced fighter. My goal was to make a statement,” said a happy O’Quinn, post-fight. “I did what was expected of me and rose to the occasion.  I’m looking forward to having another impressive win before the year’s ends and starting next year with my TV debut. I am bringing world championship glory back to the city of Detroit. It’s just a matter of time!”

O’Quinn’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, said he expected a strong showing from O’Quinn and says he got even more than he hoped for from the 23-year-old.

“Ja’Rico is one of the most gifted prospects in all of boxing! I was very impressed with his dominating performance. He is on his way to winning a world title and joining the list of the great champions from the city of Detroit.”

Connexions receive much needed funding from HBL’s Community Chest

Things are hotting up for a community group in Uttoxeter following a £2,000 grant to buy a new oven.

Connexions is a group for over 60s that meets at Uttoxeter Pentecostal Church every Friday. Sessions include a free lunch, games, talks and the chance to build friendships.

The new oven purchase – provided with Community Chest funding from Heath Big Local – will mean Connexions can serve regular hot meals to keep its regulars happy.

Co-ordinator Sue Fletcher said: “We’ve struggled along with an old oven for years now and it’s sometimes not very reliable and we’ve had to cook food off site and bring it in. This new oven will mean we can constantly provide hot, reliable and regular meals for our regulars. We’re grateful to Heath Big Local for the generous grant.”

Local Trust is a non-profit company operated by a charity called Big Local Trust.

Time Management Tips

Many teens go through their day thinking, "I just don't have enough time!"
You only have 24 hours in a day, but sometimes you just need an extra hour or two t get everything done. Since you can't add any hours to do the day, what can you do to get ahead of the game?

It's called TIME MANAGEMENT. Time management is the process of making the most of the time that you have. As a result of good time management, you often find that you are less stressed and able to accomplish more in the day.

If you have experienced any of the following, you may be in need of some time management skills:

- Missed deadlines
- feeling overwhelmed
- Feeling like you're rushing all the time
- Unable to commit to new activities
- Constantly tired or worn out
- Unable to spend quality time with family and friends
- Often distracted
- Realizing you have no clear plans or goals

If any of those items describe you, there are a few easy steps you can take to start developing good time management skills.

1. Set priorities
Determine what is most important and focus the majority of your time on those things. Is school most important? Spending time with friends or family? Make a list of activities and people in order of importance and consult that list when planning your day.

2. Set goals
By setting goals, you are better able to organize your time and complete tasks in a timely manner. For example, if you have a research paper to write, set a goal to work on your research for 30 minutes a day until it is finished. You can set multiple goals at once to help keep yourself on track.

3. Schedule every minute
To get yourself on track, schedule every minute of the day. That doesn't mean you need to be on the go for every minute of the day, but you should have some idea of how you spend your time. Include time for relaxing, sleeping, and doing homework. As you become more aware of how you spend your time and start setting priorities, you can refine your schedule to make it work better for you.

4. Decrease Time Wasters
Do you do little things that suck up time? Maybe you spend 30 minutes deciding what t wear every morning or sit down to watch TV for 30 minutes and end up staying on the couch for 2 hours. Pay attention to how long it takes you to complete small activities and look for ways to shorten the time it takes.

With these few simple steps, you can start managing your time now instead of always letting your time get the best of you.

The ABC Guide to Tiles and Pavers

by：Heng Xing     2020-05-07
Dressing your backyard or garden area could become an exciting project if you have the right materials for the job. The good news is that there are so many choices out there for you to choose from; the bad news is that it can all get rather confusing. So, here is a comprehensive guide to pavers and tiles for the outdoor area. Material?: Outdoor tiles and pavers may be made from a variety of materials like clay, concrete and natural stone. So, what should you choose? Clay - An excellent choice, as it is hard (harder than concrete even) and quite affordable. However, clay tiles will require a concrete base as these cannot stand on their own. Concrete slabs add to the price of the final product. Concrete - Economical and versatile, they are the choice when the project calls for very large tiles. However, there are limitations when it comes to shape and size. Natural stone - By far the best choice if you are looking for the heady combination of beauty and affordability. Natural stone looks striking and are available in a range of colors, designs and finishes. There are enough choices to suit any taste and budget. Trends?: Outdoor pavers and tiles are durable and flexible. They are therefore used extensively in the outdoor areas of the home including courtyards, verandas, pools, gardens, walkways and so on. The current trend is to opt for large natural pavers. Natural tiles are available in different shades and designs. Even within a batch, there will be slight variations so that no two tiles are alike. This is a natural characteristic of stone tiles. Purposes?: Different kinds of pavers may be used in different areas. For instance, the driveway may contain thicker tiles in darker colors as these are easy to maintain. Walnut or brown colors are the best choice. Pool decks should have tiles with brushed finish or tumbled finish as these are not very slippery. Thus, different finishes and colors are recommended for different areas of the house. Budget?: One of the most important factors to consider when choosing pavers for your home is your budget. The cost of natural stone tiles vary from low to very high, depending on design, quality of stone, size of tile and so on. It is important to choose a variety that sits well within your budget, so that you will get a product that looks great without burning a hole in your finances. Seller?: When buying pavers and tiles, make sure that you are doing business with the best in the locality. This ensures that you get high quality tiles for the money you pay.

The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers
By Greg Herzler, DDS
March 11, 2012
Category: Dental Procedures
Tags: braces   retainers

We'd like to take a moment to clarify why it is so important to wear the retainer(s) given to you after your orthodontic treatment. These devices, which literally “retain” your teeth in their new and improved positions, are not just for kids. Anyone who has recently had their teeth moved through orthodontics needs to wear them for the prescribed length of time. Here's why:

Though your teeth may now look perfectly aligned, research has shown that there is no “right” position for your teeth to be in that can assure they don't move again — no matter what age you are when treated for malocclusion (“mal” – bad; “occlusion” – bite). In fact, most people will see changes to their bite and tooth alignment as they get older, with or without orthodontic treatment.

For one thing, there is a natural tendency for bottom front teeth to undergo a gradual “uprighting” with age. This can cause them to crowd as they move toward the tongue. And it happens regardless of whether wisdom teeth are present.

In the case of teeth that have been straightened recently, a type of “memory” of their original position may cause them to drift back to it. This tendency gradually lessens, but it may be a problem for up to 18 months.

That's why it's crucial to follow our instructions for wearing retainers. Keep in mind that the plan we have given you is designed to achieve the best possible results in your individual case. Some people will need to wear retainers 24 hours per day, some just at night, and still others on an as-needed basis. You may have received a removable retainer or one that is secured to the back of your teeth. The important thing is to secure the results you've worked so hard to achieve.

If you have any questions about orthodontic retainers, please contact us, or schedule an appointment for an orthodontic consultation.

You can read more about this topic in the Dear Doctor magazine article “The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers.”

The original plan was to ride from London to Paris and for intrepid runners to run a marathon in support of the wonderful charity Hestia.

However, as COVID-19 put a stop to our plans the charity needed even more support so we got CREATIVE! The intrepid people in the Euronext office are going to do indoor cycling in May for the same distance and a virtual London marathon for the runners. The original details are below.

COVID-19 has hit the most vulnerable in our society hardest. The people Hestia work with are struggling to access food and essentials. They are often in unstable accommodation and unable to safely isolate. While still in the middle of their own personal crisis, they are at risk of being left terrified and alone.

Your donations will help Hestia get vital lifesaving essentials to these adults and children across London. You will be providing life saving PPE, food drops for isolated older people and IT equipment for children struggling to continue their education while living in a domestic abuse refuge.

We are Sophie Bishop, Mike Hodgson, Christian Schmid, Chris Hamilton, Nina Cardoza, Francia Acosta-Saltos and Mike Bournes

What the bike ride would have been:

Day 1: Euronext HQ in Cannon St, London > Newhaven Ferry: 100km / 7hrs (hilly and heavy traffic)

Overnight ferry

Day 2: Diepe > Paris (via Brian’s favourite Omelette stop): 200km / 12hrs (rolling hills)
