The Yarn Lover’s Guide to Mother’s Day

 

Once again Mother’s Day is just around the corner. While this date tends to fly right up to us and can sometimes catch us off guard, there’s no reason that with a little planning and consideration can go a long way.

To help you plan for a good Mother’s Day this year, here are some gift ideas for the yarn-loving woman in your life. There are plenty of creative ways you can encourage the craft of someone who loves to knit and crochet. You’ll look like a star when you give your mom these gifts!

Yarn Bouquet

For the mother who loves to knit, swap out a traditional flower bouquet for a colorful yarn bouquet. You don’t have to look too hard to find the best and brightest springtime colors since a quick visit to your favourite online yarn store will show you everything you need.

You can even go for a cheeky and memorable presentation by creating a paper and cellophane cone just like you would get at a flower shop. Keep things seasonal by sticking to springtime colors like soft pastels and light neutrals. Ideally, the yarn colors you choose will coordinate, so browse online and stop by Yarnspirations to see more options of finished projects and their color schemes.

Lotions, Oils, and Scents for Knitters

Give an extra thoughtful gift this year and get your mom some items that will make her knitting and crocheting experience more enjoyable — and even luxurious! Hand balm makes it easier to knit and keeps hands from drying up and catching on the yarn.

Major knitting projects require plenty of yarn handling, so a soothing and gorgeous-smelling balm can keep her hands in the best condition. As a little something extra, why not tag on a lavender or cedar-filled pouch to better store mom’s yarn? The smell is lovely and tossed into a basket or drawer of yarn, it can help keep moths and mites away.

Crochet Your Own Gift Basket

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a truly lovely gift basket? Whether it was filled with fruits, cheese, soaps, chocolate, or anything else that can go into a gift basket, it’s always great to receive and open up a gift basket. There’s so many ways you can fill it and plenty of different themes and styles you can use.

 

If you’re planning on gifting a collection of small items to the mother figure in your life this year, why not personalize the gift by putting it all in a handmade crochet basket? You don’t have to be an advanced crocheter to make a basket yourself, and putting a little thought into the container for your gift means that your mother will also get a reusable basket.

 

Crochet baskets are super versatile and can fit into any room in the home. Once all the treats in the basket are used up, your crocheted piece can find its forever home next to mom’s favourite armchair, filled with yarn for her own crafty projects.

Need an eyebrow or eyelash expert?

ABOUT UMBREEN SHEIKH LICENSED COSMETOLOGIST

 FOUNDER + CEO OF WINK BROW BAR

www.winkbrowbar.com

For London born Umbreen, beauty is in her blood.  Her mother was a huge influence, having attended cosmetology school and owning London Salons that encompassed all areas of beauty in addition to eyebrow threading, which was quite rare at the time.  Umbreen learned to “thread” brows at an early age. Umbreen jokes that her mother taught her, “The birds, the bees and the brows.” Growing up, Umbreen spent much of her time in her mother’s salons while also attending University at King’s College London and graduating with a degree in Biomedical Sciences.  After marrying in 2003, Umbreen moved to New York where she became PR Director of a niche magazine.  In 2005, Umbreen had a son, and in 2011 her daughter was born. After her children were in school, she decided to fulfill her lifelong passion for beauty, brows and product development.

While living in New York, she realized that there were no brow salons that catered to threading and focused on understanding face shapes and how to achieve the perfect brow shape in a way that did not damage the eye area.  Although many salons offered waxing, this was not a method Umbreen wished to pursue.  She was dismayed by existing salons that offered one size fits all, unhygienic, or painful brow/eyelash treatments.

As someone who learned the reigns of beauty and brows from an entrepreneurial mother, the concept of women’s “Embrowerment” was essential to Umbreen. In 2014, she developed the concept for Wink. Today, her empire includes three Wink Brows Bars in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn and one in London.  For those who can’t make it to the salon, Wink has an eponymous line of brow, lash and facial products available for purchase online.

Philanthropic pursuits play a significant role in Umbreen’s life. She is a committee member of “Developments in Literacy” that educates 27,000 girls in Pakistan. She is also a Lotus Circle Advisor for The Asia Foundation a non -profit international organization that works across Asia advancing the rights and opportunities for women through their empowerment program.

Umbreen resides in New York with her financier husband and two children.

About Wink Brow Bar

Wink was founded by Umbreen Sheikh, a licensed cosmetologist who grew up in the beauty industry in London.  Wink began as a luxury threading studio that combines state-of-the-art and traditional techniques as well as the very best formulations in the treatment room to create perfect brows, eyelashes, skin, hair and nails.

Believing strongly in the transformative power of great brows, gorgeous lashes and fabulous skin, Wink evolved their services to include a prestige Vegan skincare line, bringing the luxury of a spa experience to the home.  This line includes three products for brows and lashes and six products for skin vitality and anti-aging. Comprised of essential products, the lineup focuses on the hydration, beauty and balance of the skin without irritation or disruption of its natural biorhythms.

Wink Brow Bar has three convenient locations in Manhattan, one in trendy Cobble Hill, Brooklyn and an international location in the U.K.

Their list of services includes:

Organic Brow Threading

Brow Tinting

Brow Extensions

Lash Extensions

Keratin Lash Lift

Hair Waxing

Microblading

Custom Facials

Manicure/Pedicure

Hair color, cuts, and blow outs

Sunglasses are great fashion items to accessorize your look, be it for a casual event or a glamorous party. But the use of sunglasses goes beyond making you look like a celebrity. It is also important to consider the type of lenses that work best for you and suits your lifestyle.

Do you need polarized sunglasses, mirrored, gradient, or with UV protection? Each type provides specific UV and glare protection. Lens colors also affect how your eyes react to varying light, so it’s best to find out which one suits your activities and conditions well.

Finally, you can copy the looks of your favorite celebrities without spending a fortune on sunglasses. Just find the right brand that suits your budget. If you’re in the market for designer sunglasses then there’s plenty of online sunglasses shops where your can buy sunglasses from like Great Southern Sunnies.

How to Combine Comfort and Fashion

 

It is a well-known phrase that you can’t have fashion without a little pain. However, is it possible to combine comfort and fashion? When we are just going about our daily lives, it can be frustrating not to reside in comfort, especially in the chilly winter months. Luckily, there are a few simple ways in which you can stay both on-trend and cozy throughout the seasons.

Buy Cashmere

The material of your outfit can change the game, allowing you to wear the same styles but ensuring that they are much more comfortable. Whereas materials such as cotton and polyester are practical, yet not particularly cozy, there are many fabrics that can give you the perfect balance between luxury and style. Cashmere is the most stylish of these options, providing you with a sleek look that also keeps you wrapped up warm. At https://statecashmere.com, State Cashmere offer a range of fashions in this favorite material, including gorgeous cashmere wraps in a range of colors. This makes cashmere the perfect option to ensure that you stay on the right side of fashion while living in utter comfort.

Add Layers

While you might have an outfit which screams style underneath, adding layers to your ensemble can enable you to switch from the cozy indoors to the freezing outdoors quickly and easily. While a fashion-savvy coat might be the only accessory you need to turn your outfit into an enviable arrangement, layers ensure that even if your coat is not in line with the latest fashions, you will be able to enjoy the lavish outfit underneath without worrying about a lack of comfort. At the same time, layers can add interest to any outfit, meaning that you can wear our comfy clothes beneath and add a dash of style with a smart jacket.

Accessorize

In terms of accessories, they can add the perfect comfortable flair to your outfit. While you may have previously been told that accessories add style to an outfit, they can also add comfort. For instance, a fashion scarf or chic beret can both keep you warm and comfy while also ensuring that you gain the benefits of their fashionable mold. Therefore, not only can accessories keep you comfortable, but they can add the sprinkle of excitement that every outfit needs to look wonderful.

Consider Color

If you are choosing to make your outfit comfortable with practical items such as a jumper or scarf, you should consider livening these up with a splash of bright color. Color adds interest to every outfit and gives the façade of fashion to an outfit, even if you have chosen it simply for comfort. Most items come in an array of colors, and you should pick the brightest and most arresting of these in the future.

Choose Shoes Wisely

If you have the most gorgeous outfit on, your shoes will not matter as much as you think that they are going to. Swap heels for some smart flats or boots. Not only will these still look fashionable, but they will ensure that you are able to walk for a long time without the unnecessary pain of heels.

Quinoa does wonders for the hair. Here’s how.

Did you know that the new mother of all grains, Quinoa, if hydrolyzed, does wonders for the hair? The reason being is that it penetrates through the cuticles and supplements the protein loss that happens through coloring, bleaching, sun, sea and age. Quinoa’s natural protein content is far more than any other grain. Furthermore the quinoa protein composition is almost identical to the protein composition of the hair. So when the proteins come in contact, they immediately bond together, making the hair stronger and rebuilding it naturally to prevent breakage and split ends. It also protects against hair loss and thinning for both men and women.

 You can now use the quinoa protein to add to your chemical color at home ( 4-5 pumps) or take it the salon to put in 0.25 oz into one application of 2 oz of color or into one scoop of bleach to give back the protein the hair loses. The difference is amazing and could be felt and seen right away.

QUINOAPLEX R3

Introducing Quinoaplex by ONC, made of the new miracle grain “quinoa”, that transforms hair when hydrolyzed and molecules are then small enough to get through the cuticles of the hair to penetrate into the hair shaft. Quinoaplex by ONC is therefore beneficial because hair is made of 85% Protein which also is called Keratin. Washing hair, color/bleach and/or its exposure to sun, causes loss of protein, thinning of hair (men & women), hair loss and hair breakage.

Quinoaplex by ONC provides:

– lasting shine
– manageability without the need of any gels or hairspray.
– shorter time of hair drying
– decreases hair loss, thinning and breakage
– increases the lasting of hair color
– soothing irritated scalp
– it allows the hair to be colored and bleached with much less damage more often as the protein that the hair loses, is given back with the hydrolyzed quinoa protein.

Photo Thought Catalog

Other great benefits of quinoa hair protein are:

  • It promotes growth
    Helps the pigmentation of your hair color
    Its minerals are natural hair strengtheners
    Protect your hair from environmental damaging agents like air pollution.

Use: Shampoo hair and towel dry. Spray on evenly all over hair and then massage till it lathers. Leave for 10-15 min. Then rinse and condition (leave on for 3 min). If you don’t have time, you can just leave it on and not bother with the rinsing and conditioner. You can also spray 4 pumps ( 0.25 fl. oz.) into any chemical box color right before coloring at home. Take it to your salon and ask or insist the colorist to spray 4 pumps ( 0.25 fl. oz.) into  your chemical color or bleach solution. It does not interfere with ratios, developer or formula time. You can see its effects after one application. But never use immediately after hair coloring. Wait 3-4 days.

Bored With Your Hair? Reload Your Locks!

Wikimedia

Sometimes the occasion doesn’t matter, we can feel bored with ourselves, whether we’re on a road trip, going on vacation with friends, or just heading back home for a long weekend. If we feel that we are not making the effort to stand out or shake up our style, we can feel that we have let ourselves down somewhat. But the fact of the matter is that it’s a bit of a struggle to play around with our style. But there’s one thing we can do and transform our entire look; alter our hair. Do you find yourself getting bored with your hair? It’s safe to say that we all do. And if you found the perfect clothing that conveys the style, but you feel that you get bored with your hair way too often, let’s provide you with a few simple suggestions…

Change Your Product

Sometimes it’s a simple as this. If we use the same product for a long time, it gets to the point where our hair almost puts up some form of resistance to the product. And sometimes it’s not just about the hair products we use in our hair, but it’s those that we used to style our hair. Something as simple as a styling hair dryer concentrator can work to dry the hair, but also style it in different ways. This way, you’ve got an abundance of options at your disposal, but without all of the effort! When we are bored with our hair, it takes a lot of time to try and find the perfect style, changing your product may provide such a little alteration to your style, that this may be all that you need to feel rejuvenated in your locks.

To Fringe Or Not To Fringe?

This can make all the difference. If you’re looking to supercharge your look, you can go for a side fringe, or just go for the full-on straight style. If you wear your hair back, adding a fringe does so much to alter the composition of your face that it’s worth giving it a go. Although you may not be keen on a fringe for various reasons, if it’s been a few years since you’ve tried it, and you weren’t impressed with the results before, at the very least, give it a go. It’s worth shaking up our style every couple of years, and by adding a fringe, it can make all the difference.

Try Some Do-It-Yourself Tutorials

The fact of the matter is, there are so many Instagram influencers out there that provide hair tutorials, whether you want a fishtail braid or you fancy trying a bun, or you just want something a little bit messier, there are numerous resources out there to stop you getting bored with your hair! It’s worth taking the time to find some do-it-yourself tutorials, not just so you save yourself a lot of money, but you can actually take the time to find the right style for you. Sometimes we don’t deviate from the norm because we shouldn’t rock the boat. After all, we’ve got one style, and it suits us, why should we change it? But if you get bored with your hair, it’s your right to mix it up!

Finding Your Unique Personal Style

woman yellow long sleeve sunglasses

We all know someone with an incredible sense of personal style. That one individual who can enter a room and command it by virtue of their chic look and aura of confidence. Perhaps there’s even that one item that always reminds you of them – the exquisite leather bag, the perfectly tailored blazer, chic silk scarf or bright slash of crimson lipstick. Whatever it might be, and whether their style is simple and minimal or full on and full of color, they are unforgettable. Often we assume that such individuals are just naturally stylish, as if they came out of the womb already rocking a leather pencil skirt with four inch heels! But that is never the case. Style is created, not born. And the good news about that is that it means you have a chance to deliberately create your own personal style and become one of those headturning people in your own right.

Discovering a signature style that works for you involves a lot of different factors. Some of it is about assessing your lifestyle including your career, hobbies and what you like to do in your spare time. A signature style will never work unless it works for your reality. Equally, there is a little bit of aspiration, in looking for examples that can show you how to style up certain items – these don’t have to be celebrities, street style is often more illuminating. There is also being aware of what suits you in terms of your body shape and coloring. From this combination of things, you can refine a style that is authentic to you and you only – and that uniqueness is exactly what makes style work.

You could be in need of a complete style overhaul, not knowing what clothing, accessories and make-up works for you anymore, perhaps following a big lifestyle change like graduating, changing careers, becoming a parent or going through a relationship break-up. Or it may not be as drastic that – you might simply have realised that you’re stuck in a bit of a rut and need to hit refresh on your look.

Whatever the scenario, sometimes getting started is the hardest part. These steps will help you to reassess your personal style and redevelop your wardrobe to find a look which suits your lifestyle and suits you.

Get To Grips With Your Body Shape

At its most basic level, style is all about knowing what garments suit your body shape. Blindly following trends will get you nowhere – that’s more sheep than chic – what you need is to understand your body shape and what silhouettes will flatter you and make you look your absolute best. This is about making the most of what you have, celebrating your look no matter your shape and size, and showcasing your best bits while distracting from your not-so-best bits. All of this will give you the confidence that comes from knowing you’re looking your best – and that confidence is the key element of personal style. Once you know what shape you have, it can be useful to look at celebrity body shapes. Purely because these stars have access to an army of professional stylists, and you can see the pieces that they rock and hunt down similar pieces. Work out what you already have in your wardrobe that flatters your figure and makes you feel empowered – if you have an honest friend, now is the time to recruit them! Take some pictures so that you can see objectively what sits well on your frame – this is a much better method than just looking in the mirror. Identify which silhouettes work best for your shape and you have one of the formulas which will allow you to crack the style code.

Find Your True Colours

Another key to style is knowing which colours really flatter you. Get it wrong and you’ll look washed out and uncomfortable. Get it right and your skin will glow, your eyes will sparkle and your hair will look more vibrant – sounds good right? Start from a neutral base – these suit everyone and are a great starting point for redeveloping your style. There are cool neutrals like greys and navy blues and warm neutrals like camel and blush. Find out which neutrals work for you and then layer in a family of colours complementary to your skin tone. Now you have a colour wardrobe tailored to you. Armed with the shapes that fit and flatter and the colours that make you shine, you’re well on your way to immaculate personal style.

Choose Some Signature Pieces

Anyone whose style is truly memorable generally has a little style signature that makes you instantly think of them. Spend some time working out what that could be for you. It could be a beauty look – think Marilyn Monroe’s signature red pout or Alexa Chung’s feline winged eyeliner. It could be hair – Zooey Deschanel is unrecognisable without her blunt bangs. Or it could be an accessory which makes your heart sing, from delicate layered gold necklaces to cinching your waist with a skinny belt. Make it your mission to hunt down a unique place to source your signature items – whether that’s saving up for an Hermes silk scarf or sourcing high quality leather accessories from a website like JOKIBOKI. These items are the secret sauce that will elevate your signature style to a whole new level.

Invest In Your Building Blocks

One you understand the pieces which are fundamental to your style – be it a great pair of jeans or a silk blouse – invest as much as you can afford in them and wear them lots. Don’t forget that sourcing items on sale, through a designer seconds site like The Outnet, on eBay or even via thrift shops can save you a lot of money and allow you to buy better quality. Natural fabrics like cashmere, silk and pure cotton are always a better investment than man made items like rayon. Learn how to properly take care of delicate fabrics and keep your pieces in fabulous condition. The truly stylish don’t have hundreds of different options – they have a handful of well-chosen, high quality classic pieces on constant rotation. When you dress well and with personal style, you don’t need any more than that.

Sleep Comfortably Knowing Heliocare Has You Covered!

By now, most people know that sleep is essential for feeling and looking healthy. However, many people don’t realize that insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions.1 A lack of sleep causes free radical production which wreaks havoc on the body.2 Additionally, a lack of sleep can result in trouble concentrating, irritability and “beauty fatigue” – a tired appearance.

“My patients are always looking for tips on how to maintain radiant looking skin, and I tell them, when it comes to your skincare, lifestyle, and dietary choices – all of which impact your skin’s health through the gut-brain-skin axis – consistency is key. Consistently getting a good night’s sleep (‘beauty sleep’ is real), supplementing your healthy diet with antioxidants, and limiting exposure to free radical producers like blue light are all essential to healthy, vibrant looking skin,” advises NYC dermatologist, Whitney Bowe, MD.“When it comes to healing and nourishing your skin from the inside-out, I often recommend Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula to my patients because this supplement helps serve as a protector; it helps to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals from the inside out,* and it’s a simple, maintainable step to add to your daily routine.”

Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula contains an antioxidant called Polypodium leucotomos (PLE), which aids in eliminating free radicals and their harsh effects on your body.* Reducing free radicals can help with “beauty fatigue” as well, as it helps to maintain younger-looking, more resilient skin.* Only the PLE extract in Heliocare, which has been studied for over 25 years, has been extensively tested by leading American and international dermatologists.

Unfortunately, if you prioritize logging the recommended seven to nine hours of shuteye, you’re not necessarily in the clear because you may not be getting “quality sleep,” which has its own set of issues. 3 To set yourself up for quality, uninterrupted sleep, establish a nightly routine to help shift your mind into a relaxed state. Here are a few ideas:

  • Try lighting a chamomile scented candle to help signal the transition from “high power, work mode” to “low power, relaxed mode.” Of course be sure to blow out the candle well in advance of falling asleep!
  • Enjoy a cup of Chamomile or Lemon Balm tea, known for inducing calm.
  • Spray your pillow with a lavender mist, credited with helping to support relaxation and improved sleep.
  • And to help transform your bedroom into a sleep haven, try a sound machine, blackout shades and dropping the thermostat to 65 degrees.4

Sweet dreams!
