How to Tell if Your Dog Was Involved in a Sex Scandal,

Body Language Mouth Cues, Lying, Deception, Infidelity

This lip pressed together mouth turned down facial an expression I call the cover smile. Yes, most people who give this expression believe they are covering their true emotions with a smile. They are giving out many cues that say what they are truly feeling, but they really believe they are doing a good job fooling you and perhaps deceiving themselves in the process. Of course the dog is just being cute, that video of him with the Poodle was a set up. He will tell you all about what really happened in his Oprah interview.

Lavender not only helps you sleep it makes the sleep you get deeper!

You've probably heard that the smell of lavender helps you to get to sleep. New research shows it helps improve sleep as well. People who breathed lavender scent as they slept enjoyed a 20% increase in the quality of their slumber. So find a lotion with lavender in it and put on a little before you go to sleep.

Creating the Perfect Light for Sleep

For a sounder slumber and quicker going to sleep time replace your bed side lightbulbs with one labeled warm white or soft white. Research shows reading in the soft light prompts the brain to release melatonin hormones that promote sleep. When I'm on the road, I put my hot pink hoodie sweatshirt over the bedside table lamp to give the light in the evening a soft pink glow one that promotes the correct brain waves for sleep.

Create a Set of Nighttime Rituals

Before I go to bed I check the locks on all the doors, turn out the lights, let out the dog, wash my face, pull down the shade in the bedroom and curl up with a good book. Creating nightly rituals like checking the house, brushing your teeth, reading before bedtime will send subconscious signals to your brain it's time to relax.
