10 of the Most Inspiring Quotes of All Time

Quote #1

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs You should only listen to yourself, because no matter how close someone is to you, they can never know what you truly want and what your dreams are.

7 Best Exercises You Can Do At Home

#1 – Lunge

An exercise which works your backside, front and rear thighs and your core muscles which are called into play to help you balance. Great for shaping your legs. Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart and take a big step forward with your right leg, bending your knee until your right thigh is roughly parallel to the ground. Keeping your torso upright, push through your right foot to drive yourself back into the start position and then repeat for the left leg. This is one repetition. How many repetitions you do will depend on the strength of your legs but do...

5 Habits that Are Aging You

#1 - Stress

Unfortunately, stress can become a very unhealthy habit in all our lives. If you are in the habit of being stressed out over some relatively small things, then know that over time you won’t be able to perform any task without losing it completely. Stress is known to shrink areas of the brain that are responsible of your mood, memory, and learning; ultimately making you feel older.

#2 - The University Bedtime

Remember that you are not in University anymore, and it isn’t healthy to have little sleep on a daily basis. You are not partying every other night...

#10 – England

England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872. They were World Cup hosts and winners in 1966 and semi-finalists in Italy in 1990, though it’s arguable whether they are still a top ten team in the world right now, even though they’re officially ranked at #10 in the FIFA World Rankings. Most Capped Player: Peter Shilton, 125 (1970 – 1990) Top Goal Scorer: Bobby Charlton, 49 (1968 – 1970)

#9 – Spain

7 Foods That Will Calm You

#1 - Avocados

Avocados are healthy for you in many ways, as they are an exceptional source of healthy fat. However, these fruits can also be the key for your calmness. Avocados are known for containing a lot more folate than other fruits, as well as their richness in glutathione, which is a substance with the ability to block intestinal absorption of certain fats that cause oxidative damage. So, the next time you prepare a salad, or a sandwich, be sure to add some avocado!

#2 - Berries

If you consume berries on a regular basis, you will see things much clearer....

I am not normally alarmist, but increasingly find myself very concerned that our global food systems are under exceptional pressures. We might even say four frightening horse riders stalk our world at this time…

The first is called ‘Global Warming’.

A few months ago ASDA announced that it may not be able to guarantee supply of 95% of the foodstuffs it now sells in twelve months time. Most of the fresh produce sold in their shops is already at risk from climate change. The company’s director for sustainable business suggested that it is imperative that supermarkets start to...

Top 10 Cutest Dog Breeds

#1 Pomeranian

The Pomeranian originates from the Pomeranian region in Northern Poland, and it is also called “the Pom Pom”. This dog breed is small (3.5 kilograms at most), which makes it perfect for people who like to carry their best friend with them all the time. “The Pom Pom” is very popular in the U.S. (we all know the Facebook sensation Boo, who’s a Pomeranian; he’s so cute because his owner grooms him every month at the salon), he doesn’t grow too big, and it’s perfect for those living in tiny flats. The Pomeranian is also extremely easy to train and super...

Thanks sent to a good samaritan

Margaret Cooper, from Woodbury, would like to send her thanks to the good samaritan who came to her aid on Wednesday 7th May.

Margaret and three friends were travelling along the Bishopstainton Road in Teignmouth when their car broke down.

Margaret described the woman as her 'knight in shining armour' and said she was saddened to have not taken her name.

If you are the good samaritan that helped...

The 6 Most Fun Ways to Get Fit

#6 - Get a Dog

Would you be happy to sit on your couch watching Netflix for days on end? Is your idea of getting fresh air opening the window in your car? Getting a dog will change all that. Provided you are properly set up to look after a cute canine, dogs are a great way to get more exercise while still having a lot of fun.

Do you know my Knight(s) in shining armour?

Today three men came to my aid after my Ford KA skidded across an Exeter dual carriageway.

I had just passed Sandy Park and Tescos when my car came into difficulties, leaving me facing oncoming traffic.

A white van man and two passers by came to my aid, ensuring I was ok and my car was moved safely out of the road.

The first man that stopped to help even made sure I would be ok until help arrived.

I was so shaken I did not get chance to properly thank these men. If your husband/boyfriend/son came home today and told you a story about helping a young woman,...
