 Retinoids
minimize the appearance of wrinkles, bolster skin's
thickness and elasticity, slow the breakdown of collagen
(which helps keep skin firm), and lighten brown spots
caused by sun exposure. Carotenoids, such as
beta-carotene, can be converted into retinoids by the
body. Red and orange vegetables and fruits such as sweet
potatoes, squash, carrots, pumpkins, cantaloupes,
apricots, peaches and mangoes all contain significant
amounts of beta-carotene, thus retinoids.

Build your Character
 Your
character is determined by how you challenge yourself,
and how you wrestle with your problems, in a way that is
unique to you. This is how character is polished and
becomes diamond-like.
One cannot become a starring player in life if one is
easily swayed by one’s emotions over every little thing.
Strength of character lies in performing the drama of
life with courage and confidence, practicing
self-reflection and self-control under any
circumstances.
It’s not about others; it’s about you winning, and
winning over yourself. By doing so, you will provide
inspiration and encouragement to all around you.
