From the pros: Dr. Christopher Calapai shares seven medicine cabinet must-haves for the summer!

Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O., a New York City Osteopathic Physician board certified in family and anti-aging medicine has shared seven medicine cabinet must-haves for the summer!

 

  1. Moisturizing Sunscreen – This goes without saying. A moisturizing sunscreen is an absolute must! Sunscreen acts as a basic sun protector, assists with premature aging, helps with evening skin tones, all while making sure you stay moisturized.

 

  1. Aloe Vera Gel – With the sun rays in full force, it can be difficult to protect your skin from the heat. Aloe Vera Gel has great preventative properties also working as a skin rejuvenation, healing and soothing product. Aloe Vera Gel is a summer essential tool in skin-health and can used to relieve burned skin, remove sunspots, and moisturize dry skin

 

  1. Calamine Lotion – The summer brings mosquitos along with other pestering insects, leaving you vulnerable to bug bites and itchy rashes. Calamine Lotion is an oldie but goodie. This soothing cream is great to calm any itching that you may endure.

 

  1. Neosporin – Most people are more active during the summer season, partaking in outdoor activities like hiking, camping and beaching. Neosporin helps in treating and preventing infection due to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns you may get from your summer lifestyle.

 

  1. Band-Aids – Besides the most common use of Band-Aids, such as treating minor cuts and scrapes, Band-Aids can also be a great summer hack and important to prevent blisters, friction and wounds from sandals and other exposed footwear.

 

  1. Benadryl – Summer allergies are no joke! Pollen and insects can do a lot harm. Benadryl treats sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, skin rash, itching, and other allergy symptoms that summer brings.

       7. Multivitamins – Some people may not know it, but summer is a great time to boost your body’s defense system. Multivitamins are important to provide the nutriment your body will crave in the summer.

Glam Denim Fashion Ideas

Ever since it was first introduced sometime in the nineteenth century, denim has always been at the forefront of fashion. If you think about it, you’re bound to have a pair or three of denims in your clothes cupboard right now, some from high end fashion houses as well. The quintessential blue denim is ever popular but today, denim has embraced so much more- colors, cuts, looks and styles.From boyfriend jeans to vintage denim, denim is timeless. Buy a roll of denim, get out your trusty sewing machine and get started! Before we proceed, let’s talk of a few basics.

Denim is a tougher material than cotton so a regular machine will not do. You want a machine that is tough-think metal, not plastic- and has a special needle specifically for denim. A hand cranked machine may not be as effective as a foot operated machine. This will ensure your denim stays in place as you stitch. A strong motor is a must because denim requires strength. Do make sure that your machine has a wide variety of stitches available from the cool zig zag and long length stitches. The zig zag is necessary to keep your stitches in place, so it’s not just cool but functional as well. There are sewing machine brands specific to jeans, for instance, Singer and Toyota. Invest in one that can do more than just stitch denim- makes sense in the long run.

Now, let’s take a look at some cool glam denim fashion ideas.

             More than jeans

While denim is mostly associated with jeans, there is a lot you can do with the material. Versatile as it is, it lends itself to all sorts of fashion. For instance, think of denim dungarees. This hard-working outfit can be given a touch of oomph with patchwork pockets and a contrasting t-shirt. Roll up your dungarees, pair it up with a pair of heels or wear your favorite ballet slippers. Or cut your dungarees and make them into shorts for those warm summer days. It’s all good when denim is in play.

              Tops

Denim shirts are comfortable and hardy. Make them with sleeves or without, short or long. Decorate the shirt with embroidery or lettering or do smocking stitches to give it a peasant blouse appearance. Knot it around the waist or under the bust and you’re bound to turn heads. A jacket is a great idea as well. Rhinestones and glitter go well on a short jacket. Remember, less is more, so go easy on the shine.

              Skirts

A short ruched skirt or a long classic one-denim skirt is truly a class apart. Give it a slit on the side or the back for ease of movement. Pair it with a long beaded chain and a plain colored shirt and you’re good to go.

Once you’re more comfortable with your stitching, think about other cool things to do with this material. Hats and caps, heels, shoes and flats, even swimsuits and innerwear. A denim dress with a minimalistic pattern is also a great fashion statement.  Go glam with denim!

If a Brazilian Glow is what you want, Teadora Has it

My skin is feeling soft as ever with Teadora’s Brazilian Glow. This is an amazing shower accessory and you can use it in the bath too. Brazilian Glow can be used on your face and body, that’s how gentle it is. I love this brand as I already use Teadora Soap bars an their line of Shampoos and Conditioners. Brazilian Glow Revitalizing Scrub & Clay Masque is the perfect shower companion for light exfoliating which will leave your skin feeling silky soft. Brazilian Glow Revitalizing Scrub & Clay Masque has a slightly oily and mild grainy texture, smells very good and feels great on your skin. I like to exfoliate more in the summer because my skin is exposed to the sun and other elements more than in the winter which makes my skin feel dry. Brizalian Glow does such a great job of moisturizing that it’s the only moisturizer I need after a shower.

What I like about Brazilian Glow Revitalizing Scrub & Clay Masque is that it is a scrub and masque in one product.  It is formulated with “a proprietary RainforestYouth(tm) Elixir – a superfood oil cocktail of exotic essential oils from Açaí, Andiroba & Maracujá combined with YouthSpark(tm) Actives complex to provide powerful detox, exfoliation, smoothing, brightening, and firming. “

Brazilian Glow Revitalizing Scrub & Clay Masque contains organic sugar and an exotic Brazilian RedAmber Clay that helps to improve elasticity and firmness.

Enjoy a spa like experience with Brazilian Glow Revitalizing Scrub & Clay Masque. Simply coat your skin, like your arms and legs with Brazilian Glow and wrap them in saran wrap or a hot towel. Relax for 15 minutes and rinse off. you will feel wonderful!

I love that Teadora supports the environment. With the purchase of each Teadora product www.teadora.com, the brand supports sustainable agriculture in Brazil to help put an end to rainforest deforestation, partnering with groups and organizations including the Rainforest Alliance, Conservation International, the Kayapo tribe of the Amazon and more.

All Teadora products contain natural and organic ingredients harvested from the Amazon in a sustainable way, paying respect to Mother Earth.

HOW TO HANDLE EVERY SHOE CHALLENGE WITH EASE USING THESE TIPS

Shoes and slippers are a very important part of our lives. As we need clothes shoes are equally important. To make our feet comfortable and protected we need good and comfortable shoes and slippers. Shoes add on to our all around outlook. Shoes have to be maintained, kept clean and looked after carefully so that it provides us comfort. Still, there are some problems which we can face with the shoes. The material and the construction of the shoe may cause a problem. Instead of just hiding away the pair of shoes in your cupboard causing problem we can try fixing it up with some easy solutions.

 

  • Blisters

 

This seems to be the most common problem with shoes. Every foot is different in shape and dimension. If the shoes are a little tight it rubs against the ankles causing blisters. This can cause discomfort and it pains when you wear shoes. If proper care is not taken the blisters can get infected and result in serious problems. To avoid this we should ensure to buy shoes that are comfortable. We should always try the shoes on before selecting them. While trying it on we should also have a trial walk with these shoes. This may help us to judge the comfortability of the shoe which would avoid blisters.

 

  • Shoes can cause body pain

 

These days shoes are manufactured to please the eye rather than for comfort. This is the reason why the wearer can experience pain in certain parts of the body. If correct types of shoes are not used the common pains a person can experience are back pain, knee pain, ankle pain and plantar fasciitis. Very high or very low heels can be the reason for these pains. Tight shoes can reduce blood circulation leading to bunions. This is another common problem if you do not wear the right type of shoes for a particular activity. To avoid this kind of pains it is very important that we choose shoes according to the occasion of the work we are doing.

 

  • Sweaty feet

 

If the shoes are tight and uncomfortable they may lead to the feet getting heated up and perspiration. This will lead to skin problems and would also produce an unpleasant odor. While selecting shoes you should always ensure that they are not too tight. Socks should always be worn to reduce the friction between the feet and the shoes. The socks must be changed and cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene. Sweaty feet can cause fungal infections. It is also advisable to wash your feet. Shoes should also be cleaned and dried regularly. Sprinkling talcum powder in the shoes before wearing it and also applying available ointment to reduce sweat can also help.

 

  • Incorrect walking style

 

The life of the shoe can be reduced and many health problems created because of improper walking style. If a person does not work properly the body weight fails to spread evenly. This may lead to undue pressure on certain parts of the body causing it to bear additional stress. Different types of pain are also caused because of this. Certain parts of the shoe wear off quickly due to incorrect walking styles. It is very important for us to learn proper walking postures.

 

  • High Heels

 

High-heeled shoes may be very attractive for young girls today. They look cool with skimpy outfits and help you increase height. However, use of high heels for a very long time can turn out to be a disaster for your feet. It will lead to ankle pain and at times back pain too. It may also lead to some mishap while walking as it is very difficult to keep your balance on high heel shoes. Minimum use of high heels is always advised if not stopped completely.

 

  • Loose shoe towards the heel

 

When you wear loose shoes they may tend to slip away causing this comfort to the wearer. Wearing thick socks and using an insole can help in tightening the shoe. Buying proper fitting shoes is advisable.

 

  • Calluses

 

The hard dead skin tends to form on the soles of the feet and the sides of toes which can be very difficult to get rid of. To prevent this it is very important to choose the right fitting shoes. Wearing socks would also help.

Shoes can bring about a few problems in our daily life. It is easy to handle them if we are aware of the problems misfit and the wrong shoes may cause to us.
