How to Give Your Hair a Makeover

There’s something about the new year that inspires many people to want to change their looks or switch up their style. Most people make resolutions to eat better and exercise more, while others opt for a more immediate change and reinvent their wardrobes. Still others choose to change their hair. If you are one of those people looking to makeover their hair, here are a few ways you can go about it:

Hair Extensions

For an instant, dramatic transformation, consider wearing hair extensions or a wig. If you have short or shoulder length hair, you can have long, luscious locks that still look completely natural with some high quality hair extensions. This is a great option if you have a big event coming up soon and can’t grow out your hair in time, or if you just want to try out some long hairstyles and still have the option to switch back to your short hair without getting a haircut. For gorgeous, lustrous hair extensions and wigs, look no further than True Glory Hair. Their premium virgin hair extensions and wigs are extremely well made, super soft, and are guaranteed to last years without shedding (with proper care and maintenance.)

Choose from a wide array of options, including their Virgin Indian Collection, Classic Brazilian Collection, Brazilian Wig Collection, and Remy Hair Extensions. The latter is one of the most popular choices for hair extensions as they are naturally bouncy and light, and very easy to curl and style.

Intensive Treatments

If your hair has been looking lifeless, dull or lackluster, it may be time to breathe new life back into your mane by giving it some intensive treatment. African-American hair requires plenty of moisture to maintain its natural bounce and shine, and it can get especially dehydrated during the cold winter months. Try a rich oil treatment at a salon to give your hair a much needed boost.

Between treatments, avoid washing your hair in hot water or with shampoos that contain sulfates and harsh ingredients. Always condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner, and follow this up with a nourishing oil like coconut or argan oil. Then wrap your hair in a silk scarf before you sleep to retain moisture and wake up to beautiful, bouncy and frizz free curls.

Hair Color

Changing your hair color is one way to completely change your look. If you’re brave enough to go all out, try a bright or bold color like vibrant purple or mermaid shades of blue, green and turquoise. One of this year’s hottest colors is Living Coral, Pantone’s official color of the year for 2019. It’s not for the faint of heart, but this striking color is very on trend, and can suit a wide range of skin tones, whether you are light or dark, or if you have a warm undertone or a cool one. This stunning shade would also be perfect for ushering in spring, and would also be great to wear during the summer.

If crazy rainbow colors aren’t your thing, or if you work in an office where more subdued and conservative hairstyles are preferred, you can choose to simply go a few shades lighter than your natural hair color. Caramel brown is an almost universally flattering shade to go with, as are redder tones like mahogany brown or auburn. You could also go blonde; light ash blonde looks gorgeous against darker skin tones, while honey blonde can give you that carefree, sunkissed beach girl vibe.

However you decide to makeover your hair, try not to overthink it. Have fun with it and do whatever feels right and makes you feel good. The important thing is to do what makes you feel beautiful so you can step out into the year with confidence and joy.

Your most embarassing fitness questions answered by a fitness guru

www.Vshred.com

If you follow fitness trainers or enthusiasts on Instagram, we are besieged by women at the gym who look supremely confident, airbrushed and without a bead of sweat. The reality is, most of us don’t look or smell our best after a tough workout.  Not everyone is comfortable walking into a class of strangers in form-fitting gym clothes.  And what about the sounds our bodies make when we are working out?  What about those of us who want to exercise but feel we are too heavy to even begin a program?  Fortunately, we have Certified Fitness Trainer, Model Turned Fitness Expert, Instagram Fitness Guru & YouTube Sensation Vince Sant, co-founder of the online platform www.vshred.com  to answer the questions you are too shy to ask. 

Why do I let out a little pee when I exercise?

Vince Sant explains that “This is very common amongst anyone who’s had a child. the term is stress incontinence, meaning you involuntarily leak out a little urine. It can happen when you exercise, laugh, or even sneeze.” First and foremost, don’t be embarrassed. Nearly every woman that’s given birth has experienced this. There are, however, two things you can do to improve stress incontinence says Vince, “Learn how to do Kegels, and practice engaging your pelvic floor in Pilates-based exercises. Both of these actions can help strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce the severity of your stress incontinence.”

Will running make my boobs sag?

 “Sag happens to all breasts that are natural. It’s normal for the collagen that keeps breasts firm to stretch out thanks to gravity, time, pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss.” Although there’s limited research, Vince Sant says, “The up and down motion of running could logically contribute to sagging as well, but the health benefits of running definitely outweigh that possibility. If you wear the right sports bra, your breasts shouldn’t experience a lot of movement anyway. So, don’t be afraid to run!’

Why do I seem to sweat so much more than other people at the gym?

“How much you sweat is really individual, and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything positive or negative about your exercising ability,” says Vince. On average, men tend to sweat more than women, and if you are overweight you may sweat more near the end of your workout because it takes more for your body to cool itself down. Ultimately, it’s not a bad thing if you find yourself drenched in sweat while the person next to you on their machine seems to be relatively dry.

Why does running long distances make me have to poop?

Long distance running can aggravate some people’s digestive systems, particularly if you suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). But you don’t necessarily have to have pre-existing digestive issues to get some unpleasant stomach symptoms on long runs. For example, studies show that as much as 50% of runners in a 10k race experience digestive issues, including runner’s trots. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but there are things you can do to combat the unpleasant reality of urgent, frequent bathroom trips. Vince suggests avoiding high-fiber foods a few days before a big race, staying well-hydrated, and avoid caffeine.

Why do I tend to pass gas during certain yoga poses?

Passing gas during the occasional downward dog is extremely common. Why? You’re bending and stretching, which massages the internal organs—which can sometimes stimulate your digestion. (There’s even a yoga pose called “wind reliever). Vince recommends, limiting any high fiber snacks beforehand, and stretching before your actual class to “eliminate” ahead of time.

What’s the best way to start exercising if I am completely out of shape?

Literally just put one foot in front of the other. A Chinese Philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And walking is nothing to be ashamed of. Vince stresses that “It really is exercise and there are all kinds of athletic people and celebrities in amazing shape who use it to stay that way. Get a pedometer and take at least 10,000 ‘baby steps’ a day and start improving your fitness.”

I have gym anxiety. What should I do?

There are four psychological reasons for gym anxiety: Not being sure what to do, comparing yourself to other people in the gym, feeling like people are judging you, and feeling like you don’t belong. What are a few ways to reduce gym anxiety?

Vince Sant provides some tips:

Ask friends how they feel about their own programs. You can even try to go to the gym with a friend, which is a great way to stop feeling like you’re getting judged.

Watch YouTube videos for each of the exercises you plan to do on your first day at the gym.

Wear workout clothes that you feel are both flattering and comfortable.

Pick a gym that is known for being more low key as opposed to a “meat market” or a “sceney gym.”

If going to the gym is too anxiety provoking, you can try an online fitness platform such as www.vshred.com

My Skin Chafes almost Everywhere: My Butt Cheeks, Under My Arms, Inner Thighs, How Do I Reduce the Pain?

Skin-to-skin and skin-to-clothing rubbing can cause a red, raw rash that can bleed, sting, and cause pain during your post-workout shower. Moisture and salt on the body make it worse. Underarms, inner thighs, along with the bra line (women), and nipples (men) are vulnerable spots. Vince advises, “Wear moisture-wicking, seamless, tagless gear. The fit is important. Baggy shirts have excess material that can cause irritation; a too-snug sports bra can dig into skin. Apply Vaseline, sports lube, Band-Aids or Nip Guards before you run. And moisturize after you shower. Drier skin tends to chafe more.

Am I too overweight to work out?

Forget the fancy equipment, you don’t need anything to start. Keep it low impact and rest when you need to. For example, Vince suggests the following, “Jog for 30 seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have to walk for 5 minutes to get your breath back, just do it, then jog for another 30 seconds. Do that 3 times. Then when you’ve done that for a couple of days, jog for 10 more seconds each time. Then only take 4.5 minutes to get your breath back. And as you lower the rest time, repeat it 5 times instead of 3. Keeping the overall workout time at around 20 minutes total is fine.” If you haven’t exercised for a while, the body heat, breathlessness, and sore muscles can be off-putting, but those feelings quickly become more manageable.     If you have any concerns about your health and ability to work out, always consult with your doctor first.

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind

K Beauty Doctor Breaks Boundaries

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind and designed to work long-term by nurturing the skin starting at the root. The long-term, gentle approach is what really helps skin get that glow that truly beams with that signature “K-beauty healthy and hydrated look”.

Meet Dr. Jenelle Kim, the Queen of Korean Skincare and formulator of Cannabis Beauty Defined, the first-ever Korean skincare line that incorporates CBD oil into traditional K-beauty products to further enhance the benefits your skin already receives from traditional skincare.

CBD hemp oil has a huge range of skincare benefits due to it being loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to protect against aging skin. Hemp oils act as a barrier to strengthen and soothe skin and protect it from sun damage. Your body absorbs the oil, too, allowing the benefits of the CBD to go beyond just your face.

Forbes Magazine predicts the multi-billion dollar CBD industry to grow 700% by 2020 with Dr. Kim standing in the frontline as a massive contributor to this number with her luxury skincare line. So, who is the woman that disrupted the beauty industry with her CBD infused products? Dr. Jenelle Kim, a skin enthusiast who’s passionate about her purpose to change the way we nourish our skin is inspired by Eastern philosophies and her Korean lineage to create products that change not only how we look on the outside, but how we feel internally.

5 Simple Tips to Help You Get the Most From a Chartered Flight

5 Simple Tips to Help You Get the Most From a Chartered Flight

 

woman on jet

 

There’s no doubt that renting private jets is one of the best ways to travel. If you’ve never done this sort of thing before, you do want to keep a few things in mind as you schedule a reservation. Doing so will help you get the most from the flight and may even save a little money.

Always Ask About Empty Legs

Sometimes called empty sectors, empty legs develop when a charter flight brings visitors to your city but does not have anyone schedule to take the flight back to the jet’s home base. Unless someone does choose to book a flight to the jet’s home city, it will have to return empty.

Why does this matter to you? Many charter services are happy to offer seats on an empty flight at discounted rates. The jets have to return to the home base anyway, so why not make something to help offset the cost?

If you can arrange to leave within the time frame that the jet must depart, you could end up saving quite a bit of money. This approach works especially well when you find yourself needing to make a trip on short notice and would rather not take your chances flying standby on a commercial flight.

Find Out if Meals are Served

Depending on how long the flight will last, meals may be served. When renting private jets, find out what sort of food and drink is considered standard for the distance you are traveling. Remember that many charter services are fine with passengers bringing along food if they like. That does make the planning easier if you need to follow a certain type of diet because of allergies or some type of chronic health issue.

Ask About Internet Service and Similar Amenities

You’ll find that many charter flights offer Internet access as well as power sources for your personal devices. These services are available on empty legs as well as flights that you book well in advance. Whether you want to relax by checking out what your friends on social media are up to or if you need to do some work in preparation for a meeting you will have at your destination, rest assured you will have the resources on hand to do whatever you like.

Can Ground Transportation Be Arranged Through the Charter Service?

Charter services do focus on renting private jets to their clients, but they can also help with other types of travel needs. For example, do you need a rental vehicle at your destination? Would you like to have someone take you directly from the airport to your hotel? There’s a good chance that the charter service can make those arrangements for you. Best of all, they may be able to lock in a lower rate than you could manage on your own.

Are There Additional Fees for Rescheduling The Return Flight?

There are times when circumstances require that you return sooner or later than originally planned. When this happens, you do want to find out what if there are any empty legs going your way, and if you would incur any fees or charges for rescheduling the return trip. Depending on what the service has available and if there is a jet that is returning empty to your city, there may not be any cancellation or rescheduling fees.

Take the time to learn more about charter flights and the options that the service has to offer. You will find that most services are flexible and do their best to make the travel experience simple and comfortable for clients. Try this mode of travel once and you will never want to fly any other way.

6 Dental Procedures That Will Improve Your Smile and Your Health

 

Today there are more ways to protect your smile and your dental health that at any time before. From basic procedures all the way through dental surgery that can be done on an outpatient basis, your dental professional can correct a number of problems and ensure they don’t trigger more issues elsewhere in the body. At the same time, many of them make it much easier to flash a beautiful smile.  Here are some examples of procedures that may be right for you.

Dental Implants

Did you know that there are two different approaches to dental implants? If you have some teeth missing or are about to lose all your teeth, rest assured your dental professional will talk with you about both options. Each approach provides benefits that you will enjoy for a long time. In fact, you may never need to replace those implants once they are in place.

Root Canals

Root canals can correct a number of potential issues. The process often involves removing some of the pulp or the root to alleviate pain and prevent the spread of inflammation. While you will need sedation for this type of dental surgery, today’s methods make it possible to undergo the procedure and go home all in one day. While you still need someone along to do the driving, many people experience no more than minor discomfort in the days following a root canal. Best of all, the pain you felt before the procedure is gone.

Teeth Straightening

Just as people may receive dental implants at many different times in life, it’s also possible to have your teeth straightened even if you are no longer a youth. Perhaps it may be necessary to remove a molar to eliminate crowding and then wear some type of retainer or brace for a period of time. The good news for adults is that there are clear aligners that can have the teeth in perfect alignment in a year or so.

Extractions

When a tooth is in such poor condition that it cannot be saved, the most practical solution to to extract it. This form of dental surgery is relatively simple and straightforward. You are likely to need nothing more than a local anesthetic to deaden the gum around the base of the tooth. While you will need to take it easy the rest of the day, getting rid of a tooth that is basically nothing more than an empty shell is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Fillings and Crowns

Perhaps the decay has not yet consumed most of the tooth. In this instance, a dentist can remove the decayed portion, fill the space, and then top off the tooth with a crown. As with the extraction, this procedure can be done in the dental office and you can go home in a few hours. The filling and crown certainly improve the look of your smile, and eliminates one potential risk of inflammation and infection.

Teeth Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is sometimes viewed as an optional procedure. This line of thinking holds that if you brush and floss regularly, there is no need for a professional cleaning. That’s not the case.

While the brushing and flossing does quite a bit to remove residue from teeth, there is still some that’s difficult to reach on your own. During the cleaning, a professional gets into the tiny spaces between teeth and other nooks and crannies in the mouth where residue and bacteria are still present. This is usually done by a qualified dental hygienist.

The cleaning goes a long way toward reducing the risk of cavities, helps to minimize the potential for losing enamel, and in general keeps your teeth healthier. That means you are less likely to need dentures or implants even when you are older.

These are only a few of the procedures that modern dental professionals offer. What would help improve your dental health and improve your smile? Schedule a check-up with your dentist today and find out if anything needs to be done right now. Whether it’s a cleaning, an extraction, one of the forms of dental implants offered today, or some other procedure, your dentist will be happy to tell you why it’s needed, and how you will benefit from the work.

5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Footwear For Your Office

 

Part of being properly attired for the office involves selection footwear that is in line with the dress code. Fortunately, there are quality brands like Merrell shoes that offer all sorts of solutions. All you have to do is decide what qualities you want and find a pair that has all of them. Here are a few tips that will help you choose a pair of shoes for the office that will serve you well.

Casual or Business?

What sort of footwear is included in your company dress code? Consider what sort of designs the employer considers appropriate. For example, did you know that a pair of slip-ons may be considered too casual even if they are somewhat dressy? If that’s the case, then you might want to consider something like an Oxford design with a lower heel and subtle appearance.

You can bet that among the best shoes for men in Canada you can find something that’s fine for the most casual office setting or one that leans more toward the traditional and the conservative.

The Colour Matters

Colour may also come into play when it comes to selecting shoes for the workplace. A safe choice with any type of traditional office setting is to go with basic black. A nice pair of Merrell shoes in black will go with just about any type of business attire one can imagine, making them more versatile.

If your company dress code does allow options like darker brown shades in addition to black, feel free to invest in a pair or two. They will certainly work on those days when you wear some lighter shades of slacks and pair them with a darker sport coat.

Materials That Hold Up Well Are Important

Always consider the materials used for the shoes that you select. Some synthetic materials look fine at first, but they don’t tend to wear well. Lesser brands may be made of materials that crease a lot faster than those made using higher quality materials. The last thing you need is a new pair of shoes that look heavily worn after only a month or so. Spend a little more for the best shoes for men in Canada and you will actually save money on shoe repair and replacement over the next couple of years.

Go With a Comfortable Fit

Since you will be wearing the shoes all day, it makes sense to go with a pair that feel comfortable. That means the size must be perfect and the cushioning should be sufficient to absorb the shock of walking over concrete floors that are covered with nothing more than a thin layer of padding and carpeting. You’ll find that all the designs offered by Merrell shoes have excellent cushioning and sizing that makes it easy to enjoy a proper fit.

Support Matters Even If You Are at a Desk All Day

Support is just as important as comfort when it comes to shoes for the workplace. Perhaps you do spend the majority of your day at a desk. Even so, you need support that ensures your feet and legs are not subjected to undue stress. Thanks to the support offered by the best shoes for men in Canada, your feet will feel fine at the end of the day. Your lower legs will also not feel strained and the odds of experiencing muscle cramps are kept to a minimum.

Remember that investing in the right pair of shoes for the workplace is not just about projecting a professional appearance. It’s also about wearing something that’s good for your feet and lower legs. Choose carefully and those shoes will serve you well for a long time.

5 Excellent Reasons to Get a New Tattoo or Redesign an Old One

What do you think of tattoos in general? Do you have any right now? Would you like to have one or more? The answers will tell you if tattoos in Toronto are right for you. If you would like to explore the reasons a little further, consider these scenarios that lead many people to get a new tattoo or have some additional work done on an older one.

You have a New Story to Tell

You are no stranger to body art in Toronto. In fact, you have several tattoos and each one of them has to do with an important or person in your life. Now that you’ve entered a new chapter, there’s an event that you would like to memorialize with body art. Find the right professional, come up with a design, and determine where you would like it to go. Once it’s done, your new story will always be there to tell when the mood or setting is right.

An Old Story Has a New Chapter

Maybe an event that you thought was complete turns out to have a little more to it. By all means, keep the tattoo that tells the beginning and have it augmented so that it reflects the rest of the story. Remember that existing tattoos in Toronto can be altered or added to in such a way that they continue to capture the essence of the original inspiration while broadening the subject to tell a little more. A skilled professional can help you come up with ways to enhance the old design and ensure it captures the essence of the new.

There’s Someone or Something You Want to Honor

Many people choose body art in Toronto as a way to create a living memorial to someone they love. It could be a romantic partner, a relative, or anyone else who has brought many good things into your life. It can even be some event that has changed the course of your life for the better.

A professional can work from a photograph, a description, or even an idea and come up with the perfect tattoo design. As with the design elements, you get to choose the colours that are in keeping with the topic. When the work’s completed, you have something that makes it all the easier to sense the presence of that person or at least remind you of why that individual or event is so important.

You Appreciate Body Art But Don’t Have Any Right Now

You have friends with some wonderful tattoos in Toronto. You like they way they look and the stories they tell. Up to this point, you’ve never gotten any tattoos but now seems like the right time. There’s someone special who’s been in your life for some time, or something has happened that you want to remember all of your days. That’s worth a trip to a reputable tattoo parlor for getting your very first tattoo.

You See a Design That Would Look Great

You were out and noticed a tattoo that really caught your eye. The design is something that would work well with the body art in Toronto that you already have. After telling the person how much you love the design, it’s perfect acceptable to ask where it was done. If it was an original, ask the person if he or she would mind if you took a photograph and used it to recreate a similar design. What you will find is that many people are happy to oblige.

What’s your day like? If you have the time and are in the mood, why not visit your local tattoo parlor and see what designs they have? You can also bring along an original design that the artist can enhance a bit. You can bet that once the work is done, you’ll be happy with the results.

A Woman’s Guide to Buying Your Dream Car

Buying Your Dream Car

 

Buying your dream car be a tricky thing. Particularly when you are shopping alone, you are more likely to get taken advantage of. Unfortunately,  most dealerships and vehicle sellers assume that women don’t know a great deal about cars, they try to quote higher prices. Now, although this may seem like a bleak situation, don’t give up hope. To get your dream car at a price that you are happy with is relatively simple – as long as you know the right tactics. So, without further ado, here are all the tricks that you need to remember:

Do Your Research Beforehand

So, maybe it is true that you don’t know much about cars. This doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t learn. Now, you don’t need to memorize every detail and you definitely don’t need to be an expert in vehicles. At the same time, when it comes to shopping around for vehicles, a little preparation can go a long way. This way, when you are scrolling through the ads on Kijiji cars, you will be aware of what to look out for and what to avoid. Not to mention, it also makes it a lot harder for anyone to take advantage of your naivety.

Consider Secondhand Models

There is no denying that a car is one of the most expensive investments you will make. This cost can go up even higher if your dream car is a luxury model. The good news for you is that your ideal vehicle doesn’t have to be out of your reach. Instead of opting for a brand new model, why not consider one that is slightly used? For instance, if you really want to own a pricey Coupe, check out the Coupe classifieds. You will be pleasantly surprised to find some older models at a very affordable price.

Don’t Make Snap Decisions

When you do find a vehicle that seems absolutely perfect, it can be tempting to snatch it up right away. Making impulse purchases, though, won’t do you any good. Rather, make a note of the car, the details, and the cost and step away. This will give you some much-needed time to check out all the facts and figures of the car. As a result, you will be better equipped to decide whether or not this is the vehicle for you, after all.

Be Fully Aware of Your Deal

The final obstacle you will have to overcome is actually purchasing the car and signing the papers. All the technical jargon and endless paperwork can cause you to simply sign the documents once they are presented to you. However, under no circumstances should you resort to this. Instead, go through every detail and make sure that it matches up with what you have agreed on with the dealer or the vehicle owner.

It is clear that buying a vehicle by yourself, as a woman, doesn’t have to be a bad experience. With the right guidance and tools, you will be able to walk away with an excellent deal.
