Funny Faces Pictures

Living in today's society can be a stressful environment. Every day we have so much to do and our jobs and chores can sometimes make us feel low. Often people may turn to unhealthy solutions such as alcohol or other drugs to escape or help them feel better. It's very easy to turn to such unhealthy solutions as they are methods that society has subliminally taught us and promoted. How many times have you heard from someone who was upset; "I am off to the pub" or "I really need a cigarette". These types of behaviour have become common in today's society and it is a very sad state of affairs. Even on television the common cure for the blues is to turn to alcohol and there are hundreds of movies where a sad person turns to drink, cigarettes or drugs. Surely there are better ways other than damaging our bodies and our health to make ourselves feel temporarily better. But what are there alternatives?

There are lots of great ways to relieve stress in healthy ways. One of my favourite ways to relieve stress is to look at funny or hilarious pictures. There are literally hundreds of websites out there that have great collections of very funny pictures that can cheer you up to no end. A popular favourite of lots of people is to look at funny animal pictures with captions. The cuteness of the animal combined with the funny caption attached to it has always been a good recipe to make someone smile. Just looking at some funny pictures for thirty minutes can really help elevate and change your mood.

It is very easy to get caught up in with our stress and keep soldiering on and never taking any time for ourselves. This can eventually lead to more problems by increasing the severity of the issue and could even lead to a mental break down. Sometimes we need to let go of our problems and realise that all things will one day pass. As well as taking the time to de-stress with some funny pictures you could also: spend some time with your kids, take a walk in the park, have a long hot bath, reconnect with an old friend or watch your favourite movie.

There is evidence to suggest that smiling can have great effects on your mood and health (not to mention prevent you from getting frown line wrinkles). When you smile endorphins and other chemicals are released into your brain which make us feel in a much better mood. You can even try doing it right now. Force a smile and make sure it is a big one. Hold that smile for at least 10 seconds and you will notice that you feel better than you did before you smiled. Isn't it strange that such a simple thing as using certain muscles in our face can make us feel so different.

In summary it is important to smile and be happy as it can cause a chain reaction. When were happy we smile and when we smile we feel happier. Sometimes it is just a case of 'breaking the smile barrier' and getting those first few initial smiles in to set us off on a good foot. I can highly recommend taking the time to laugh and smile at funny pictures to aid you in the quest of happiness and stress relief.

Funny Foods

In my opinion, a good laugh is just as important to personal health as eating right and exercise. In fact, if I had to list the top three healthy habits, they would be green tea, broccoli and laughter. Laughter improves our overall state of mind and sense of satisfaction with life, raising our energy level and causing us to lean less on unhealthy "comfort" foods. With that in mind, check out these funny food quotes and remember them the next time you spend some time in your kitchen. You can also register to receive jokes and other funny stuff by e-mail from our team here at Recipe4Living.

Share these quotes with your loved ones, sneak them into lunchboxes, and write them on unsuspecting chalkboards and whiteboards everywhere. Laugh it up!

She had always warned them to wave a plate of rice and peas before her nose when she was in her coffin, to make certain there was no mistake; for if a breath of life was left in her, she would sit up and eat, but if she smelled the hopping-john, and did not stir, then they could just nail down the coffin and be certain she was truly dead. Carson McCullers (The Member of the Wedding, 1946)

All I ask of food is that it doesn't harm me. Michael Palin

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting. Andy Rooney

Baby Pictures,

Going to a professional photographer to get that set of perfect baby pictures is nice. It's a moment to capture your baby while they're still young. But it doesn't fully capture the child. The setting is fake and just for show. Home pictures speak a lot more than professional in this way, but most people are too afraid that they can't take good enough pictures worth hanging up or sending to friends. Hopefully this article will point out some key aspects to put a more professional look on the average day snapshot.

No matter professional or not, clothing is the first thing to consider in taking a portrait. This is no different for a baby picture. It's a very open kind of category in that you have so many choices obviously. For the most part it will probably be casual and just wanting to make the baby look cute. Sometimes it might be more themed.

The important thing to remember is that the outfit is the second thing the viewer will notice. The first is obviously the baby's face. It is because of this that you want to make sure you pick something that compliments your child's personality. This may sound odd since it's a baby we're talking about and the personality isn't quite there fully, but you will still be able to tell a general sense of where to take this picture.

Next you have to take in to account the setting. This this is a home picture, possible settings are the house, the rooms, a crib, a chair or couch, or the back/front yard. It is wise to take into account how the setting will go with the clothing and emotion trying to be expressed. You may want a more comical picture, or a more relaxed, or just a very casual.

The background also needs to go with the clothing. This is important so the picture seems whole and nothing clashes. Even simple things like wallpaper or blankets behind the baby in the picture can look odd if there is too strong of a contrast with the outfit. Try to find a setting that goes with the clothing, or clothing that goes with the desired setting.

Lastly you should take props into consideration, if any are being used. This can include such things as furniture, toys, and other things in the picture other than the baby. They can be nice little hints about the baby, like adding his/her favorite toys, favorite blanket, etc. Most people might worry that it will take away from the picture but little things like this can enhance it.

Furniture like a chair or couch can also give a more interesting environment. Obviously this requires the baby to be a bit older and able to sit up on his/her own in most situations. What can make a picture like this more interesting is the variety of textures and colors the furniture can add. A nice shine and color of a wooden piece can enhance other colors, like brown and blue, and even bring out the eyes more.

The final key here is perspective. This means that you should take into account the angle that the picture is taken. This may sound too artsy or too detailed for many, but it's very simple. You want angles that compliment the baby. This is the case for any model. You don't want angles that make limbs look odd, or make the body too short or elongated. Most people just think straight on is the only way to go. It's safe, but can be overused. Try more side shots, above shots, just shots in general that give a different look to the child. A lot of the times, once the baby is more active and moving its limbs and head around with more dexterity, you will notice many opportunities to try these different perspectives. Just keep in mind that the idea here is to make even simple snapshots more memorable to the moment.

You don't need to be a professional photographer to make home pictures look more than just snapshots. You just need an eye for detail, some thought and creativity, and a little fun. The whole purpose stays the same: you are capturing some form of essence of your child and preserving it with a photo. There are so many vital moments in the earlier months alone that you don't want to waste them with poor photos that will leave you wishing you could do it over again.
