Welcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast, I am your host LoriLynn! Recently I placed lovely lilacs in vases throughout my home and it inspired me to look into the positive benefits of having flowers in your home. HAPPINESS is fresh flowers! "I must have flowers, always, and always."  Claude MonetA behavioral research study conducted by Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, reveals that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home.1. Flowers feed compassion.2. Flowers chase away anxieties, worries and the blues at home.3. Living with flowers can provide a boost of energy, happiness and enthusiasm at work.Link:Harvard Study conducted on Behavioral Researchhttps://safnow.org/aboutflowers/quick-links/health-benefits-research/home ecology-of-flowers-studyWelcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast, I'm your host LoriLynn.

Alessia Evans developed a love of makeup from a young age and started working in the cosmetics industry at 19 where she climbed the ranks as a makeup artist, trainer and manager for L'Oreal. Fast forward 10+ years, and Alessia has bowed out of the beauty industry to study Psychology, undertaking a dissertation investigating whether applying makeup makes us smarter... what she discovered was remarkable! Since being awarded the British Psychological Prize for Best Dissertation 2020, Alessia has gone on to write for a magazine on the psychology of beauty and currently lectures at the University of South Wales where she also recently completed her Masters in Psychology Research.  This week she joins Psychology in the Classroom to talk about the impact that make up can have on social interaction, mental health and cognitive function.  We discuss schools' general aversion to make-up and ask the question ‘Is this rule appropriate?' The answer may not be what you expect, whatever you think about make-up, Alessia provides some really fascinating insights into the reasons why we wear make-up and why we should perhaps open up the conversation around make-up in schools. You can get in touch with Alessia Here: https://staffdirectory.southwales.ac.uk/users/alessia.evans.html You can find details of Nancy Etcoff's book here - Survival of the Prettiest, or just search her name online.

Learn why humans gravitate toward pretty people. Have you ever noticed how things just seem to work out for pretty people? Or how you feel so much better about something if it’s visually gratifying? Author and psychologist Nancy Etcoff argues that these preferences indicate more than a simple preference for certain aesthetically pleasing things: it actually taps into one of the core drives that motivate human beings. Follow along with Survival of The Prettiest (1999) to learn about the relationship between beauty, evolution, and survival. *** Do you want more free audiobook summaries like this?

Do you hate the way you look?  Do you wonder how you could ever feel okay about your body?  If you’re middle-aged or older, do you worry about your wrinkles and the effect gravity is having on your body? In my opinion, women spend way too much of their time and energy focusing on that one small aspect of ourselves: our appearance. Almost all of us are guilty. There is so much more to you than the way you look!  Yes, I coach people about how to permanently lose weight, but I believe that having a healthy relationship with food and eating and being healthy are so much more important than the size of your body or what you look like.  But sadly, throughout history, women’s appearance has been given way too much weight in determining our value.  Despite the feminist movement, the situation is getting worse. According to Dr. Nancy Etcoff at Harvard Medical School, the latest research shows that low body image in women is a global issue of epidemic proportions.  When we spend so much of our time and energy worrying about our appearance, we can’t spend it doing something really meaningful, productive, or that make a difference in your life and the lives of others.  LISTEN to learn more about what it means to have a good body image, and why you don’t need to look like Jessica Alba to have one!

Beauty surrounds us, draws us in, gives joy and creates conflict. In this hour, TED speakers conjure up beauty both ancient and modern, and suggest reasons why humans are hardwired to crave and respond to beauty. Guests include the late philosopher Denis Dutton, psychologist Nancy Etcoff, fashion model Cameron Russell, community activist Bill Strickland, and designer Richard Seymour. (Original broadcast date: April 19, 2013)

The eminent US cognitive scientist Nancy Etcoff talked about a unique human activity, to dress, in the 2010 Premsela Lecture, "Born to Adorn", on 26 May at the Royal Institute for the Tropics in Amsterdam. Etcoff asks why we have been doing this since the beginning of human memory. Grooming and adornment increase an individual's attractiveness but also constitute clear sexual signals. Clothing turns the human body into a "supernormal stimulus", sending an exaggerated, provocative signal that out-does the natural original. Adornment and clothing contribute to a fruitful life, you might say. And we can speak of an evolutionary process from people having sex to ideas having sex.

Being Beautiful: Embrace your beauty and find happiness, inside and out.
