7 tips for being a glamorous parent

Having children can completely transform your life. It can drastically alter your priorities and change the way that you interact with the outside world. While this can be an extremely positive experience, it is vitally important that you still hold onto your sense of self. The fact that you are a parent shouldn’t stand in the way of you being a confident, attractive, and dynamic individual. If you are wondering how this is possible, you will need to read on. Below are seven tips for being a glamorous parent.

Create beautiful outfits

The first step towards a glamorous lifestyle is ensuring that your family is always well presented. You can do this by sorting through everyone’s wardrobe and evaluating their outfit choices. You should also consider investing in high-quality pieces, as opposed to flimsier items that are likely to fall apart. This is also an excellent way for you to teach your children about the importance of caring for their possessions. If you want to start them young, why not visit Nickis? This is a fantastic place for you to find designer labels at affordable prices. You’re sure to be inspired when you see their impressive range of children’s clothing.

ideas for dressing your kids, Storage solutionsDesign a beautiful interior

Although it is important to think practically when creating a home for you and your family, it is also perfectly fine to add a touch of glamor to your household. You can do this by creating a design scheme that perfectly combines common sense with aesthetic appeal. You should also think carefully about your children’s bedrooms. Try to create a look that will stand the test of time. Instead of decorating the bedroom walls, you should try to focus on the accessories. This will make it easier for the room to evolve as your child gets older. You can simply take out certain items and replace them with more age-appropriate pieces. You should also try to divide your home into adult friendly and child-friendly spaces. Perhaps you could give your kids a playroom or a snug, as this will help to keep all of their toys out of the main house.

Invest in storage solutions

You can also do this by investing in clever storage solutions. This is a great way for you to organize all of your family’s possessions. It is also ideal if you are someone who prefers a streamlined, minimalistic aesthetic. Instead of your home looking cluttered and chaotic, you can have everything neatly stored away. Having a set place for everything will also help you to teach your little ones about cleaning up. If they know exactly where an item needs to go, once they have finished with it, they will be more likely to put it away.

Experiment with your choice of food

As a parent, it can be extremely difficult to get your kids to experiment with new foods. Whatever you do, don’t give up. Teaching your children about different cuisines is a fantastic way for you to introduce them to new cultures and experiences. It is also a great opportunity for you to enjoy a touch of glamor. Why not have at least one night a week where you and your family sit down to an alternative meal? You could even start the process with one ingredient at a time. The most important thing is that you are pushing your boundaries and encouraging your family to do the same. If you are struggling to get your kids on side, you could think about letting them take part in the preparation process. They may be more tempted to try a new meal if they have had a hand in its creation.

Set up a professional photo shoot

Another fun idea is to set up a professional photo shoot for you and your family. This is a great excuse for you all to get dressed up and to embrace your most stylish selves. You could ask a family friend to come along and take a few snaps. Or, you could splash out on a professional photographer. This will help you to ensure your pictures are high-quality images that you can be proud of. Although it is not possible to be glamorous every day of your life, your photos will be a pleasant reminder of a time when everything came together. You could also go it alone and take your own family pictures. Why not treat yourself to a high-quality camera and top of the range printing equipment? You never know, you might have a hidden talent just waiting to be uncovered.

Stay organized

If you are going to enjoy the finer things in life, you will need to make sure that you stay on top of your duties. This will help you to free up some time and to preserve some valuable energy. If you are rushed off your feet, it is unlikely that you will want to bother with glamorous activities such as dining out or dressing up. However, if you effectively manage your day, you should have plenty of opportunities for a little bit of glamor. Perhaps you could aim to get all of your tasks done by a certain time. Then, you could spend your evening celebrating with a cocktail, a tasty snack, or a relaxing bubble bath.

Enjoy a spa day with your family

Another idea is to treat you, and your family, to a relaxing spa day. There are plenty of establishments that are more than happy to cater to children. Just make sure that you call up to check beforehand, as you don’t want to be caught out at the last minute. Alternatively, you could enjoy your spa day at home. You could make everyone facemasks, buy bath bombs for the evening, and sit down in front of a relaxing movie. You could even make healthy treats such as a fruit smoothie or a sushi platter. The most important thing is that your entire family has the chance to escape the stresses and strains of daily life.

CBD AND PARKINSON’S –EFFECTS AND MANAGEMENT

Parkinson’s is a memory disease that affects a large number of patients every year. It is a progressive disease that has a tendency to get worse over time. It starts with mild tremors but then eventually becomes a full-blown condition wherein every movement of the patient gets affected. This disease affects men more than women.

Parkinson is a complex chronic condition which points at the death of the nerve cells in the brain. When particular nerve cell starts malfunctioning, it gives rise to tremors. With constant shaking of the body, there are prominent cases of muscle stiffness as well. And this makes the tremors of Parkinson’s easily identifiable and distinct. It becomes quite distressing to deal with this situation.

How CBD helps?

CBD has many wonderful effects on the human body. With the use of CBD, people affected with Parkinson’s are relieved instantly and are able to walk and talk almost normally. There are a number of neurons in the brain which produce a hormone called dopamine. This hormone is called as happy hormone as well. This hormone rewards your body and makes it feel good. It also helps in regulating voluntary movement. Many body movements like walking, running, handling of objects, and everything you do by your free will are also affected by dopamine.

CBD helps the patients to regain most of the control lost early on. CBD aims at managing of pain, anxiety and other symptoms.

CBD delivery deals with the symptoms from outside as they happen. One of the important advantages of using CBD is that it has powerful neuron-protective effects which protect brain cells. CBD is famous to roll back all of the damages like the oxidative injury that happens in the brain. If not completely, it can slow it down.

CBD refreshes cellular mitochondrial activity and also helps with waste disposal in the cell. CBD also recharges the overall health of neurons. It helps the patients in living a controlled and normalized life.

CBD is known for its amazing effects in relieving psychosis and Parkinson’s. When CBD is used regularly, it is used to treat the symptoms of the disease. Patients can see improvements by sleeping as well. CBD promotes peaceful sleep amongst its users. It is taken before going to bed so as to relax the mind, giving users sleep that doesn’t seem that is drug induced.

Many surveys have been conducted and it has been proved that CBD and cannabis have much more effects than other drugs and medicines tried by them like music therapy, meditation, and prayer.

CBD has been one of the most effective ways to ease the pain of Parkinson’s, both physical as well as emotional. If you have symptoms of the disease, you should try it. You should consult the doctor for symptom management as it is safe to use. You just need to pass a physical test before you approve taking CBD as a medicine. Now it has become easier to cure Parkinson’s with CBD.

Why Do Luxury Retailers Make So Much Effort with Their Christmas Store Decoration?

 

 

Christmas is a time when shopping becomes a major priority for a lot of people, with gifts to buy as well as parties to choose outfits for! Shopping during the run-up to Christmas can be quite a different experience than at other times of the year, and while this is partly simply because everything is a bit more hectic, it is also because of the nice, festive atmosphere created by Christmas music and the lights and decorations.

 

  • Decorations and High-End Stores

 

Some stores opt for decorations so lavish and impressive that people actually view those stores’ Christmas displays as a feature of Christmas itself. Whether it is Harrods in London or 5th Avenue department stores, Christmas displays tend to be impressive and something people go out of their way to see. Newspapers even report on the choice of display for the year in some cases!

But why do luxury shops do this? It is almost certainly something that costs them a lot of money and requires the input of some serious creative talent, so why do they pull out all the stops rather than simply putting up a tree in the store like lower end retailers do?

 

  • Making Iconic Buildings Even More of a Talking Point

 

One of the reasons luxury brands tend to go for particularly elaborate and beautiful displays at Christmas – especially when it comes to the outside of the building, is that many department stores and the flagship stores of giant luxury designer brands like Chanel and Dior tend to already be very eye-catching buildings. Flagships for designer brands were often built specifically to house these brands, and designed by a luxury architect like Peter Marino who specializes in creating shops that have a substantial visible presence in some of the world’s major shopping cities.

Making these buildings, which already stand out as unique pieces of architecture, look even more impressive at Christmas, is a way brands can leverage the beauty of their shops even further to attract more customers.

 

 

  • Stand-Out Lights Encourage People to Shop in Person

 

Designer brands are well aware that people have the option to shop online, and also that there are other retailers offering their products – sometimes for less. While this is good for them because it does still help them to sell their designs, at the same time, photos online can’t necessarily do a lot of products justice. Many of the things sold by luxury brands are things one is likely to want to try before they buy – such as fragrances, make-up and clothing. It is easier to sell these expensive products to people who have seen them in the flesh, and having a Christmas display that is worth seeing can be enough to lure Christmas shoppers out from behind their computers to shop in person.

Checking out the Christmas decorations in big, luxury stores can be a lot of fun, but it is interesting to think about why this is done from a business perspective.

Give the gift of luxurious skincare with Luminesce

If you are looking for luxurious skincare to gift a special lady in your life, Luminesce has a fabulous line of skincare products to choose from. Two of my favorites form the line are  LUMINESCE™ ULTIMATE LIFTING MASQUE and ESSENTIAL BODY RENEWAL

The LUMINESCE™ ESSENTIAL BODY RENEWAL is a hydrating body lotion that moisturizes your skin from head to toe. The lightweight formula is non-greasy and fortified with legume and fruit extracts, leaving your skin looking and feeling refreshed. With the cold weather, my skin gets dry almost overnight and I like to find a formula that will keep it hydrated, but that isn’t too heavy or will clog pores. The Luminesce Body Renewal lotion is perfect for that with vitamins and minerals to keep your skin soft, healthy, and glowing.

The LUMINESCE™ ULTIMATE LIFTING MASQUE is an extremely nourishing, listing masque that is uniquely formulated with APT-200™. While it does have a higher price point, this masque definitely packs a punch. You apply the thick, clear, gel like formula to your face and neck and let sit for 15-20 min and once dry, slowly peel the layer of masque off in strips, a la American Psycho style. It reminded me of pore cleansing strips, but less abrasive and painful and exfoliates and cleanses your entire face, not just one area. The directions state to apply a thin layer, however I applied it slightly heavier the second time and found it was much easier to remove that way. Old, dead skin cells peel away with the masque leaving behind smooth, more youthful looking skin which I noticed almost immediately. Once I finished washing the formula off, my skin felt tighter and looked brighter. This is definitely a great product to add to your weekly skincare routine to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy.

The LUMINESCE™ ULTIMATE LIFTING MASQUE and ESSENTIAL BODY RENEWAL, both part of the company’s anti-aging skin care line, are dermatologist formulated to restore vitality and radiance to your skin.
