They seek out brands who are socially responsible and sustainable, offer clean formulations that perform as advertised, and are transparent throughout. This way of thinking really aligned with our core values and inspired Fieldtrip’s launch. Equally important was being able to offer clean, effective products at an affordable price to ensure the line is accessible to all.”

The brand embraces a “Your Earth, Your Skincare” philosophy and formulated all products to be clean, cruelty-free, vegan and formulated with a minimalist ingredient list that excludes ingredients such as silicones, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, chemical sunscreens, retinyl palmitate, synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, formaldehyde, triclosan, triclocarban, petrolatum, mineral oil, talc, hydroquinone, BHA and BHT.

5 Subtle Personal Style Changes That Make A Big Difference

 

https://unsplash.com/photos/IwVRO3TLjLc

Everyone has their own unique personal style, and while yours might be one that you’re comfortable with having, you’re likely thinking about updating your style – especially if you tend to wear the same outfits and use the same accessories whenever you go out.

You’re likely reading this blog post today because you want to make some changes to your personal style. However, you’re not comfortable with making a massive transformation – especially one that will likely cost you lots of money!

Did you know that it’s possible to make some small, subtle changes that will enhance your current look without costing lots of money? Take a look at the following ideas for some practical tips:

Get A Name Necklace

People often get necklaces with a custom-made or engraved name written on them. Name necklaces could be their own names or those of people close to them in their lives.

If you’re thinking of getting one, you could consider an Arabic name necklace as an example. It could even be a fitting nod to your background, for instance, or a spouse or partner with an Arab background.

Buy A New Pair Of Sunglasses

Sunglasses are an excellent accessory to wear when the weather is bright and sunny outside. You’ve probably got one or two pairs of go-to sunglasses that you wear outdoors, but it could be the right time to upgrade to a new pair.

Consider looking for sunglasses that are a different style from what you usually choose.

Upgrade Your Handbag

Some women might have just a single handbag, while others may own a few to use with specific outfits, for instance. In any case, you may find that your handbag collection consists of examples that look similar from a style perspective.

Have you thought about splashing out on a new handbag that doesn’t bear any resemblance to what you already own? Doing so will mean you can make a fashion statement but in a subtle way, plus give you the chance to experiment with a partial new look.

Purchase Some New Shoes

Most women will own a few different pairs and styles of shoes, such as heels, sneakers, pumps, and so on. There’s no denying that shoes complete any outfit or look, so think about mixing things up a bit with a new pair of shoes in a style you seldom choose.

You might surprise yourself by finding a new pair of shoes in a different style to what you’re accustomed can really accentuate your look.

Treat Yourself To A New Ring

Finally, another item of jewelry you could buy that will make a subtle yet substantial improvement to your personal style is a ring. As you can appreciate, you can buy rings in various styles, so choose one that makes an excellent fashion statement!

Final Thoughts

The ideas illustrated above will give you an excellent indication of how you can make a few minor changes to your personal style to have the biggest impact. Enjoy!

Wedding Season is Here! Tips and Tricks to Try on the Big Day

2022 is a record-breaking year for weddings, with an estimated 2.6 million weddings expected to take place by the end of the year. With all of these nuptials on the horizon, I wanted to share a few great tips and tricks to tackle a busy wedding season. These tips and tricks are courtesy of TheSoul Publishing – an award-winning publishing co. behind one of the top five YouTube channels, 5-Minute Crafts, (76M+ subscribers and 140M+ social followers).

  • Clean Heel Hack: If you’re having your wedding outdoors or even just attending one as a guest, this clean heel hack is for you! Walking through dirt and grass can leave your heels stained and dirty. Instead, try this hack. Take a piece of parchment paper, wrap it around the edge of your heel and place a small square underneath the heel. Next, take a hot glue gun and place it over the parchment paper, creating a thicker, square heel. Allow to dry and remove the bottom piece of paper. Now, when you walk across grass or over dirt, you will have a protective layer preventing your heels from sinking in the ground! Once you get to your destination, easily slide the layer of glue and paper off your heel and you’re all set!
  • Wedding Dress Button Trick: On many styles of wedding dresses, there are many buttons down the back that need to be closed one by one. If you want to quickly get into your dress, or help the bride into hers, try this hack! Using a bobby pin, simply hook the latch onto the pin. Next, you will be able to easily pull the latch over the button with the bobby pin, quickly and easily closing the dress without having to fumble with each button one by one!
  • Strapless Dress Hack: If you’re opting for a strapless dress either as a bride or as a guest, you might find yourself struggling to keep it from falling. If so, try this hack! Using fashion tape or double-sided tape, you can discreetly place a small piece onto your skin and the dress, holding it in place the whole night. No one will notice and you won’t have to worry about your dress the whole night!

Why My Dermatologist Uses Restylane® Dermal Fillers

 5631934 © Scott Griessel | Dreamstime.com

If you visit the websites for dermatologists who provide dermal fillers, there’s an excellent chance you’ll find Restylane® on the menu. Providers love Restylane® because they can choose from a whole family of filler options, all made from one of the safest known filler materials.

How Does Restylane® Work?

A dermal filler has one primary job: it takes up space in or under the skin to add volume and lift. An ideal dermal filler is well-tolerated by the body, provides natural-looking enhancement, and works for various applications.

Restylane® ticks all these boxes. It uses hyaluronic acid, a complex molecule found naturally in your skin. It attracts water molecules and binds them, hydrating the skin and helping it maintain moisture levels over time. Restylane® works for many applications because instead of one product, Restylane® contains an entire family of hyaluronic acid fillers.

The Restylane® Family of Fillers

Whether it’s restoring lost volume, smoothing lines and wrinkles, or enhancing your lips, there’s a Restylane® family member that can do it.

Restylane® Refyne

This filler with XpresHAn Technology™ works on the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and creases around the nose and mouth. While sturdy enough to hold up to wrinkles, it allows the treated areas to move freely.

Restylane® Defyne

This sibling to Refyne works for deeper marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and other deep lines and folds. It allows natural motion, making it suitable for deep lines in areas that need to stay flexible and soft.

Restylane® Kysse

Kysse plumps and contours the lips for enhanced volume and more defined edges using Optimal Balance Technology. This filler has a soft, natural look that spreads and moves freely, so your lips maintain their natural motion.

Restylane® Lyft

This durable yet natural-looking filler can add volume to the midface and cheeks. It uses larger cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules to create a more resilient filler that stays put even in challenging locations.

Restylane® Contour

For people who want fuller cheeks with youthful-looking “apples” when they smile, this filler offers flexibility and the ability to hold up to use in the cheek area. It gives your provider another option to provide you with the cheek volume and shape you want.

Restylane® Silk

This filler works for lip plumping and fine lines around the mouth. This area requires a highly flexible filler that moves naturally. Silk can give you enhanced definition in and around your lips for a more youthful-looking pout.

Reasons to Try Restylane®

You know Restylane® is versatile and has a formula for almost every dermal filler need. Here are a few more reasons why dermatologists offer Restylane® to their clients:

  • No downtime – finish treatment and go right back to work
  • Results appear immediately after treatment
  • Lidocaine makes injections painless and easy
  • Can last 6 to 18 months, depending on the type
  • Bio-safe material unlikely to cause a reaction
  • Reversible with an enzyme injection
  • Natural-looking contours

9 Simple Ways To Improve The Way Your Skin Looks And Feels

Are you worried about the way your skin looks and feels? You might be concerned that your skin is giving away your age. If this is the case, then it’s worth taking steps to improve your skin. Some of these are easier to achieve than you might imagine and won’t even cost you a fortune.

https://pixabay.com/photos/woman-face-portrait-model-skin-2303361/

Change Your Sheets More Regularly

First, let’s talk about the issue of dirt. Dirt is always going to be a nightmare for your skin. It will cause your pores to become more clogged up overtime leading to issues with grease and oil. You need to make sure that you work to avoid your skin getting too dirty or grimy. One of the major issues here is always going to be problems with your bed and your sheets. If your sheets are dirty – and it’s worth noting this dirt isn’t always visible – it’s going to cause problems. You should aim to change your bed properly about once every two weeks. Do this more frequently if you tend to sweat a lot at night.

Try Different Sheets

It’s not just about cleaning your sheets regularly of course. You might also want to try different types of sheets and see if these have an impact on the way your skin looks and feels. For instance, you might want to try softer sheets that are made of materials like silk. Options like silk are great because they will be far less abrasive on your skin. This can help ensure that you don’t develop blemishes or other issues with your skin. Research suggests it can also have a positive impact on the aging process of your skin too.

Stay Out Of The Sun

There are two issues that are more likely to damage your skin compared to others. The first is going to be problems with the sun. The sun can be incredibly damaging and may even cause you to develop problems with skin cancer. That’s why you should make sure that you are using protection whenever you are out in the sun for long periods.

Another point to consider is pollution. While there’s little you can do to fully avoid pollution and the impact it will have on your skin, you can think about cleaning up your air quality in controlled environments. This can be achieved by simply adding more plants around your property.

Speak To A Dermatologist

If you are worried about different skin issues, then you might want to think about speaking to a dermatologist. They can discuss the problems that you are experiencing and potentially offer advice on the right treatment that is going to provide the greatest benefits. This could include options such as eczema treatments or specific treatments for dealing with problems like acne. Remember, acne can be more significant and more severe than a couple of pimples now and then. If this is the case, then professional support can be the right choice.

Drink Plenty Of Water

It’s great if you can drink plenty of water. Ideally, you should be aiming to drink about a liter of water each day. This isn’t just great for your health, it’s useful for clearing out the pores across your skin too, ensuring that dirt and grime doesn’t start building up overtime.

Test Different Skin Products

It’s important to find the right skin products for your skin. Some people find that certain products have a negative impact on their skin. Certain products might even mean that you are more likely to develop issues with dry skin or acne. So, it’s great if you can test a few different ones to find the right possibilities for you.

Find The Right Skincare Routine

https://pixabay.com/photos/sunblock-skincare-healthy-skin-1461397/

Most skincare issues can be dealt with more effectively by making sure that you do use the right skincare routine. This is about more than just choosing the right skin care products. You need to make sure that you are thinking about when you are going to apply different products to your skin. This will depend largely on the various individual aspects of your skin including the pigmentation and whether it tends to get dry or oily.

Stop Getting Stressed

Stress can have a profound impact on your physical and mental health. But it can also mean that you are more likely to develop various cosmetic issues including problems with your skin. Indeed, dry skin and oily skin are two of the most common signs that you are overly stressed and overworked. As such, you need to make sure that you are thinking about how you can relax a little more and reduce the levels of stress in your life. One option worth considering would be meditation. By meditating you can train your mind to deal with stressful situations more effectively.

Eat Well

It’s true what they say, you are what you eat. So, it should come as no surprise that your diet impacts your skin too. If you don’t get the right things that you need in your diet, then you’ll find that your skin is more likely to punish you with lots of different problems. You could also find that eating a healthier diet and potentially cutting out some of the more harmful substances helps your skin to glow and thrive. Some people even report that going vegan is better for your skin but we’ll leave that one up to you to explore.

Sweat It Out

Finally, another great way to improve the look of your skin would be to sweat regularly. It’s up to you how you achieve this and the process makes no difference to the results. You can sweat by heading into a sauna or you can think about exercising more regularly at the gym. Once you start sweating more regularly, you’ll see a noticeable difference to your skin.

We hope this helps you understand some of the key steps that you need to take to ensure you improve the way that your skin looks and feels. By exploring these options you will love the reflection that smiles back at you in the mirror.
