Kirsten Dunst’s Luscious Locks

We all admired Kirsten Dunst’s luscious locks during a special screening + press appearances of her new show On Becoming a God in Central Florida. 

Kirsten’s hairstylist, Owen Gould, prepped her hair using Refuge Hair’s REJUV system ($35; www.refugehair.com). “I love that is sulfate free as lot of my clients prefer that,” said Gould. “The hair was so smooth and shiny after too which is always an added bonus!”

Kirsten stepped out the next morning after the screening to promote her Showtime series on The Today Show with her hair still looking flawless and shiny!

Why Choose a Quality Desk for Back to School

Give the young student in your family every opportunity to succeed in their studies with the best equipment possible for the job. When it comes to furniture designed to help a student succeed, there’s no better item than a fine, solid wood desk. In today’s competitive academic environment, a student needs every advantage that they can get to stay ahead of the curve.

Poor Quality Furniture Can Result in Poor Quality Work

A cheaply made desk, like those assembled at home and made of pressboard, will quickly wear down. These items might seem like a good idea initially, but when you consider how long that quality handcrafted wood furniture can last when cared for properly, it shows how poorly an investment a cheaply-made desk will quickly become. 

This kind of furniture isn’t built to last through all of high school, let alone a college or university career. When your son or daughter has earned a place at a great school, they deserve a desk that is of far better quality than what they used in grade school. 

An Excellent Lifelong Investment 

When you’re investing a lot in a great education, you need to follow through with great materials as well. No one can afford to jeopardize a student’s success by holding back on expenses after the initial cost of tuition is paid. 

The best part about buying quality-made solid wood furniture is that it will provide more in return than any other expense involved in post-secondary education, outside of the learning itself. Not only will a solid wood desk last through the entire span of a university career, but it will also continue to supply an excellent work space for the home or office for years to come. A fine heirloom item can even be passed down to future generations. 

Quality Furniture Can Instill Confidence

Much like the desk bought to furnish a great business career, a student’s workplace can mean the difference between a confident student and one that constantly feels like an imposter. Moving away to go to college or university is one of the biggest changes that a young adult will face up to that point in their life. Faced with the difficulties of being away from home, fitting in among a new peer group, and the constant pressure of difficult course work, students can easily get discouraged – and when they do it can affect their work. 

Give a Reminder of Family

Many new students find the transition to studying away from home difficult for the simple reason that they become homesick. Given this common dilemma, everything you can do to make their new residence a little more cozy and familiar will help to ensure success. When you give a heartwarming gift of a finely handcrafted solid wood desk to a new student, they’ll be able to feel at home every time they sit down to get to work. 

As a parent or close family member, there’s no better present that you can provide to a new student that a well-made and stylish solid wood desk. Cherish those last moments of your child being at home by picking out the perfect desk together.

– It’s Been A While Since Your Last Check-Up

The Biggest Interior Design Trends of 2019

 

Interior design trends are constantly evolving and developing. But your home should be an oasis of tranquility and a space you should be proud of – and as such it is important not to just follow the fashions of interior design but use them as a source of inspiration. Before you decide to redecorate your home, it is important to create a mood board of your favorite styles and then decide on what to purchase over a period of time. There are many contemporary themes that you can incorporate into existing styles and spaces; here are some of the best interior design trends this year.

Natural Influences

This year house plants have continued to grow as a trend and it looks as if they are here to stay. The reason why natural influences are so popular is that people are increasingly living in apartments in urban areas without gardens, and so houseplants and natural flora help to give a burst of the outdoors to any interior. There are dozens of health benefits to be gained from being amongst plants, and there is an increasing amount of scientific research that explores the positive outcomes of being surrounded by plants. If you want to boost your physical and mental health, this is a brilliant trend to embrace this year.  

Sustainability

This trend is part of a big shift in an environmental focus within the home. Sustainability is now central to many people’s lives and it is more impressive to transform old furniture into stunning pieces than it is to buy a brand-new piece of furniture. This trend requires you to think creatively, but it also can be a lot of fun. Instead of shopping online or heading to a department store, you can re-invent objects around your home and transform them into unique decorations or pieces of furniture. 

There are so many ways to update your home in a sustainable manner. Whether you sculpt your own plant pots or design a mural, there are dozens of ways to create original and inexpensive pieces to show off within your home. Sustainable design is more than just a ‘fad’ or a trend, it is a way of life and it is a very accessible approach to interior design. You can also make your home more environmentally friendly by updating some of the more practical elements of your home, such as researching “window companies near me” on Porch.com and replacing your windows with upgraded modern windows designed to keep your home more energy efficient. 

Constellations

An interest in star signs, magic and the metaphysical world is something that has existed within humanity for centuries, and it has now become a popular interior design trend. Bring the wonders of outer space into your home and embrace mysterious magic with printed velvets, deep hues and metallic symbols. Adorn bedrooms and living rooms with this stylish choice and create an out-of-this-world ambiance with eclectic nebular prints. 

Warm Nude Hues

Cold and hard shades of gray have been abandoned for warm and cozy nudes when decorating upholstery and furniture. Shapes inspired by the natural world in soft shades are central to this interior design trend, and you can add a touch of luxe throughout any home by mixing a selection of neutral hues for a show-stopping atmosphere. Make sure you include soft and supple fabrics to mirror your color choices, thus softening the rooms you spend most of your time in.

Nomadic Inspiration

If you are an avid traveler, then you may be inspired by the nomadic interior design trend that has been exceptionally popular this year. Fill your home with artwork and furniture that you have collected while traveling the world or you can research and purchase interesting pieces online. This is your opportunity to ignite a global spark in your home with unique décor that has been inspired by all four corners of the globe – making your home a worldly treat to welcome guests into. 

Maximalism

This interior design trend draws inspiration from the ideology that more is more. This trend involves mixing bold patterns and colors across your home to create a unique and characterful effect. This is a trend to consider with caution and it is not an excuse to fill your home with clutter. It is best to pick three principle colors and then mix patterns and hues within this color choice. Alternatively, you can pick favorite patterns and use colors accordingly. This is a fun and unusual trend that allows you to express the vibrant side of your personality.

There are dozens of trends to choose from when decorating your home in 2019; hopefully some of these top picks will inspire you to get the most out of your home interior design.

The No Slip Sheet Masks from Seoul

The No Slip Sheet Masks from Seoul

Sheet masks can sometimes fall off or shift. But what if there was an option that didn’t slide right off? Meet the no slip sheet masks from Seoul – The Vitabrid C12 Dual Masks. Available in two formulas, Brightening & Luminous and Age-Defying & Firming, these soft, non-stimulating microfiber sheets perfectly and comfortably adhere to the skin – all while promoting even absorption of their active ingredients.

The Vitabrid C12 Dual Sheet Mask: Brightening & Luminous instantly brightens tired and distressed skin and enhances radiance and luminosity. It boosts skin regeneration, elasticity, and moisturization, while also delivering soothing and illuminating effects. The Age Defying & Firming formula promotes the feel of increased collagen, replaces skin’s moisture, and improves the overall look of your complexion. This soothing and revitalizing mask works in minutes, leaving skin dewy and radiant, and fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

Both no slip sheet masks feature unique Peptibrid® and Vitabrid® technologies to improve the stability and penetration of wrinkle-fighting peptides. Peptibrid® (INCI name: Peptibrid) improves the purity and penetration rate of peptides by improving its limitations such as stability and skin absorption. It promotes collagen synthesis and regeneration efficiency, while also boosting the efficacy of each mask’s other active ingredients. Meanwhile, Vitabrid® delivers advanced biomaterials that overcome the limitations of traditional Vitamin C, which is easily oxidized, water-soluble and difficult to transfer into the skin. This proprietary new form of Vitamin C penetrates deeper into the skin in an activated state, allowing it to act for more than 12 hours simultaneously (ICID entry name: Vitabrid CG).

Directions:

  • Peel off the sheet and wear for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Lightly tap in any remaining essence into the face and neck with fingertips.

Pricing:

$8 each

$35 for a box set of 5 sheet masks

Is It Cool To Be Cool?

Do people even use the word cool anymore? Perhaps edgy, sick, or epic would be more apt. Being cool means a lot more than dressing in designer gear and having an achingly desirable image. Being cool means being content, happy with yourself and feeling confident in your own skin. For some, being cool means chasing the latest trends and copying the attire that they see on the catwalk. However, the coolest people set the trends or don’t care about them at all. These are the individuals who a happiest going their own way allowing their fashionista credentials to show off their personality and flair. Take a look at whether you can be cool by looking at these three aspects of coolness.

Less Is More

Those people who are obsessed with looking the part and following the crowds always end up trying too hard. They are so keen to be perfect in their outfits and fashion sense, that they don’t even care whether they like what they are wearing, so long as it is on trend. This isn’t cool. Instead, less is more. If you like the latest suede jacket trend that is gracing the cover of every glossy magazine, by all means get one. But if you’d rather stick to your vintage upcycled one of a kind leather jacket, this can be just as cool, if not cooler. By taking charge of your own fashion and not relying on the catwalk or designers, you will feel more free to experiment with your clothes.

 

Confidence Is Cool

If you’ve ever seen people rocking the monochrome tattoos or body piercings and felt a little pang of jealousy at their confidence, don’t think that you can’t harness this too. Being confident is massively cool. If you fancy a piercing, but you’re a little nervous, go slow. Perhaps get your eyebrow, tongue or nose pierced. Get yourself a cool 14k gold nose ring and rock it with pride. Being happy in your own skin is key to being cool, so if you fancy a tattoo or two and a piercing, get them done. At the same time, if you adore Dr Martens, you love bright colors or you fancy rocking the animal print, do this too. If it makes you exude confidence, it’s cool.

Think Cool

If you yearn to be cool, the chances are you won’t be. However, if you put being cool to one side, and focus on your attitude, mindset and confidence, the chances are that you’ll emerge cool without even realizing it. Take a look in your wardrobe and pull out all of the things you don’t like wearing and think about what you could replace these outfits with. Go shopping and buy what you like. Enjoy piecing together your wardrobe without a fashion magazine dictating to you what to buy. By thinking in an individual way, you are thinking cool.

It is cool to be cool, but it’s not cool to be so desperate to be cool, that you become thoroughly uncool! Keep things in perspective and enjoy experimenting with your style, your fashion and your look. Being cool is good, but being happy and confident is awesome.
