Natural Skincare with Quality Results

Natural Skincare with Quality Results

I love using natural vitamins and oils on my skin. I’m grateful, I get complements all the time on my complexion. Questions of what I do for my regular routine? Well, usually I answer with the simple clichés. It’s got a lot to do with your diet. What you put in is exactly what you’ll get out. I’m blessed to have good genes on top of it all, but I started my skincare routine as an adolescent. The skin is the largest organ we have. We must care for it properly.

I don’t stick to one oil or a multivitamin. I pay attention to what my body needs. Example, if you’re craving something, your body needs something from it. Sometimes it’s a challenge to figure out exactly what your body needs when you’re craving something like chocolate ice cream, but the fact is you might need dairy, vitamin D, sugar, or the benefits of chocolate itself. Sometimes it’s a trial or error thing. But the more you pay attention to your body, the more you’ll come to understand it. Your skin will thank you for it. Perhaps, you got a great skincare regimen, but now your skin is looking dull.

Getting a Boost

I’ve been using Blackseed oil in my dry areas on my face, especially under the eyes. It works great for me, but it’s like I hit a wall during the summer. I was asked to try Livad skincare products, which was created by dermatologist, Dr. Janet Prystowsky. The product is based on using vitamins A, D, & E.

Here’s what I found out

Using the Vitamin A+D or Livad anti-aging cream boosted the vibrancy in my skin! Seriously, a dab will do you. With a tiny push on the pump, I received enough cream to cover all my dry spots and then some. No lie, I noticed a difference within one day. I didn’t have dehydrated summer skin any longer. I can’t tell you what will happen in the winter months, but I know that somewhere between January and March my skin starts to look dehydrated after being in heavily heated indoors. I’m thinking these products will definitely do the trick!

I was happy to see Livad also offers winter and summer bundles for their skincare line. The holiday bundle offers an After-Sun cream great for year-round sun exposure.

I would totally recommend these products based on their use of natural vitamins, which I have found many folks are deficient in. Also, after trying the products, first-hand, I’m self-assured in saying it might be worth a try to anyone wanted a new skincare routine, including those that have sensitive skin issues.

Side note: I stopped using my other oils to get a true assessment of these products. I do plan on adding a few of my oils back into my routine to see how they react together. I’m confident the results will be fantastic for my personal skin.

ORGANIC HEALTH & HOME

Does Organic Pest Control Work?

Does Organic Pest Control Work?

Your first instinct when you discover you have a pest problem is probably to grab the chemical spray and start spraying.

Pests can make you feel itchy and uncomfortable in your home; an instant spray makes you feel more in control. This is an acceptable reaction. Pests carry hundreds of different diseases which have the potential to seriously damage your health.

However, it is also possible to utilize organic pest control methods. But, you’ll need to know your enemy and be able to identify the best solution that will take care of the pests for you. You can find out more by talking to a professional pest control expert.

What Is Organic Pest Control?

Pest control generally spraying chemicals into your walls and where you believe the nest is. These are generally very powerful and should kill the issue with just one or two applications.

However, these chemicals can also have side effects for humans; they are, after all, poisons.

This is why you may prefer to consider the organic methods. This type of pest control treatment uses products naturally available which work in nature to kill various animals.

A great example is your cat catching a mouse; that’s natural but not necessarily a practical solution.

Other examples include using mint leaves or cloves to deter ants; it’s surprisingly effective. You can also use slices of cucumber at entry points or even just spray the ants with soapy water.

Another effective and organic method for ants is diatomaceous Earth; just sprinkle a little wherever you see them. It won’t kill them but it will persuade them to leave the area.

Tannic acid is excellent at neutralizing the allergens in dust mites and even animal dander; allowing you to organically enjoy your own home.

 You may even be surprised to find that catnip is effective at deterring cockroaches. Either leave the sachets round the house or make a catnip tea and add it to a spray bottle for use as and when needed.

Does It Work?

The short answer is yes. These are all products which occur naturally in nature. As the Earth has a multitude of systems in place to ensure animal numbers stay under control you’re simply tapping into the Earth’s natural resources.

If you’re not confident implementing these techniques yourself or you need the reassurance of a professional pest control expert then you can click here to find out more about the services on offer.

Even the professionals will use organic solutions if you request it.

These are products that have been tried and tested to eliminate the issue without killing the pests. However, it is important to note that should you decide to take this route it will be extremely important that you tidy your space inside and out, keep it clean and ensure that potential entrances for pests are blocked.

If you don’t new pests will simply arrive.

You should always consider using a professional as they will be able to locate and target the nest, making sure the problem has been dealt with effectively.

Salt and Relax

Salt and Relax

Some great natural remedies for stress include meditation, aroma therapy, relaxing and cleanliness. I discovered you can get all four in one shot, thanks to the invention of the bathtub and Relax Spa and Bath.

With dozens of scents and healing properties, I concur Relax Spa and Bath has a lot to offer. I started off with choices from their Happy Hour cocktail line like Cosmopolitan, Appletini, etc. I love the idea for bridal party gifts. Brides are always looking for great ideas to give their ladies for being part of their big day. Adding a simple gift like bath salts along with champagne and chocolate in a basket could be a great little ‘Thank you’ to your favorite gals!

I moved onto the next line of salts, and I was impressed!  The Athletic line is packed with natural relief for sore muscles. Three different salts to target three needs Relief, Rebuild and Recover. These are amazing to use in a full bath, but why not just in a foot soak? I added a small amount into a footbath and felt the tension in my feet dissipate within twenty minutes. The Athletic line smells good. It’s a unisex smell. It doesn’t sway one-way female or male. They are just extremely pleasant to the nose.

Finally, my favorite salt, Eucalyptus Mint, which I wouldn’t use every day, but for only very special days… those days when I’m feeling under the weather, feel the start of a cold or have a sinus clog going on. It’s powerful scent is beautiful, and somehow, unclogs the sinus cavities quickly. A tingle of rejuvenation comes from the skin after soaking for a solid twenty. They also offer the Rx line, which I plan to try next!

Not only is it fun trying out the different salts they have to offer, I have been more centered and relaxed taking these soaks. My stress-level has reduced drastically. I would totally recommend to anyone feeling a bit overwhelmed in life to take at least a good ten minutes for themselves to soak in some very pleasant smelling salts and regroup.

Find Your Perfect Bra

By Tia Cristy

Find Your Perfect Bra

One common gripe you’ll hear amongst most women is the invention of the bra. Memes and jokes about shedding the bra once at home have existed for a long time. Bras in general aren’t the enemy… But the particular bra you’re wearing could be. Here’s how to find the perfect bra for you.

This bra is too big

When your bra is too big, it gives a false sense of security. Things can shift inside and straps can fall. This can result in bad posture, which can lead to back and other muscle pain. Trying to work out in a bra that’s too big can result in rubbing and poking from the material. This can leave a discomfort and irritation to the skin.

This bra is too small

When your bra is too small, it can be dangerous on many levels. First, this can cause back pain, resulting in that need to shed the bra as quickly as possible. But the more dangerous things that can happen are not only internal cysts, but fungal or bacterial infections on the skin. If you end up with a rash under your breasts, try otc cortisone. See if the rash clears in a day or two. If not, go see the doctor– the doc will be able to tell if it’s fungal or bacterial and provide you with an appropriate script.

This bra is just right

Not everyone is the same size or shape, which means not everyone can shop at the same place for bras. And, not every sized-bra is a one size fits all. Hence, the reason there are so many manufactures out there. I’m not saying you’ll get it right with every bra, but sizing yourself for a standard bra is a pretty simple if you have a sewing tape measure.

First, find your band size by wrapping the tape measure around your body, just under your breasts.
Example: 32 inches

Next, move the tape measure up to include your breasts fitting loosely around the nipple.
Example: 34

Finally, you’ll subtract the two numbers. The number left over determines your cup size.

0=AA
1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=DD
6=DDD-F
7=G

So with our example… Minus 34 by 32 and you are left with -2. That means your bra size is 32B.

Bras have advantages

Although, it’s easy to complain about a bra, they do have some advantages. If you remember their true purpose… bras can give support. Some women and professionals believe that sleeping in a bra can keep the muscles from sagging. Personally, I’m not for or opposed of such practices.

I have found that wearing the right kind of bra on a daily, can change your overall mood. Whether you buy a bra like Knix for comfort and protection or a lacy thing that makes you feel like a bombshell, bras have the ability to adjust your mental state. Hence, this is why women will spend gobs of money on their undergarments… not to show them off, but to feel the best that they can feel. And, like most powers of the mind, that self-esteem will certainly show on the outside.

Why you should check for Hidden Cameras in your Hotel Room?

 Why you should check for Hidden Cameras in your Hotel Room?

 

You are at risk wherever you go these days. No place is secure unless you are alert to risks that happen in any country you visit. Naturally, with boom in the electronic consumption worldwide you cannot assume that you are safe and has a space of your own for there are equally rogue humans who would love to break your privacy with hidden cameras. A good shot of your body in the bed or in the bathroom may be enough to cheat on you unknowingly. So, knowing a little bit of cameras and those that hotels hide in your room would go a long way of assuring you a hassle-free stay.

There are numerous kinds of cameras that can be hidden with ease in any hotel room and many of them are so small that it can be difficult to spot them. I highly recommend you to check the complete article from SCR.COM that explain you How To Detect Hidden Cameras In A Hotel Room.


However, you must know, unless there is a something big at stake for spying on you, no hotels would like to compromise on their goodwill. Therefore, you will need to understand that it is the staff or another visitor to the hotel who would be doing this mostly. Naturally, they wouldn’t be investing a huge amount of money on this as they only after some fun. Hence, you needn’t worry about very tiny highly sensitive and sophisticated cameras, but only those that you may be able to spot with a thorough search.

 

Your Eyes are the Best Detectors

If you want to spot the hidden camera then you ought to train your eyes to search thoroughly. This means inch by inch screening of the whole room and the bathroom. Look at places like the shelves, wall decors, electrical sockets, mirrors, indoor plants, tissue boxes, shower, toys, DVD cases, table lamps and any other places that you suspect may be quite easy for a camera to be hidden.

If you have not spotted a camera then you must take your search to the next level. This is done during the evening. First you draw your curtains and then switch off the lights. Then look around for any light sources or any other source that reflects your own tiny torch lights. Remember to maintain pin-drop silence while you are doing this. Most cameras give out a tiny buzzing sound while many would give out some tiny streak of light which you may be able to detect in the dark.

You may also detect a source which reflects your own torch lights as most cameras have lenses. Again, there are some places in the room where you may detect unusual wiring or adapter settings and power outlets then be warned that there may be some kind of object hidden somewhere in the room.

Apart from the above, you may use your own mobile phone for detecting spy cameras in your hotel room. If you are using iOS or Android then you may download an application straight from the web.

Lastly, you may still be able to detect the undetectable camera if you call one of your friends or family members and walk around the room. If there is a camera anywhere then there will be interruption in the frequency levels.
