Swedish Watch Brand Gyllen

 

Newly launched Swedish brand GYLLEN is selling Swiss watches for women that not only serve as a timepiece but also act as a visual reminder to life’s endless possibilities. Intrigued? This already much buzzed about brand is offering even the pickiest of buyers ultralight, modern, affordable pieces which truly compliment any outfit. All watches have Swiss movement, unscratchable sapphire crystal glass, 50M water resistance and are plated in real 24K 99.9% purity gold, shiny white gold and rose gold colour.

 

Julyana Otelinger, who previously worked with the #1 lighting designer in the world Ingo Maurer, joined forces with her partner Richard Gyllenbern to disrupt the watch industry by selling value through emotions and feelings. The duo is targeting women who want to buy a watch not only because of its quality and aesthetic design but more so because they feel a strong connection with the brand message and infinity sign on the watch.

 

The brand’s core message is already hitting hard with buyers. One Australian girl with cancer reminds herself to keep fighting, one Swedish girl with Cervical Dystonia is reminded about acceptance, while another Belgian girl who lost her daughter is reminded about balance and to appreciate the small things in life.

 

All these ladies are sharing their stories on the brand’s website which serves to empower other women to stay strong, keep fighting and to be reminded that regardless of what you do, have done or will do, everything is possible.

 

All watches have gone through rigorous quality controls to meet the standards of true affordable feminine luxury with prices less than $199.

What it Takes to be Fit and Healthy

It happens all too easy: you turn around one day and suddenly find you’re not feeling too well. It’s possible to turn things around if you reach this point, but it’s much easier to change a few things and lead a much healthier lifestyle before it happens. Being fit and healthy doesn’t mean you need to spend hours at the gym and eat nothing but steamed vegetables and grilled chicken. Keeping in shape can be far less painful than that! Here are some habits you might want to consider adopting.

  • Kick Your Bad Habits

If you say you haven’t got any, then you’re only kidding yourself. Some habits are definitely a big no-no, such as smoking and addictions. There are also a few habits that aren’t too bad if practiced in moderations. These include alcohol, sugar, caffeine, and junk food. Enjoy these once in a while rather than regularly, and you’re not doing your body too much harm.

  • Regular Checkups

There are a number of medical issues and complications that, if caught early enough, can be successfully treated. This is why it’s important to go to your doctor for regular health checks. Many examinations you can also do at home, such as self-exams for breast or testicular cancer. Additionally, keep an eye on your moles and if any of them change shape or color or start to bleed, have them checked out.

Also, don’t forget to give some attention to your eyesight as well! Many working professionals stare at screens for the most part of their day, and this can cause serious strain. Sub-optimal eyesight can also lead to other ailments, such as headaches and migraines, so be sure to have a look at iconic for your next pair of comforting eyewear! Not only will you find yourself working much more efficiently, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing you’ve done everything you could to take care of yourself as best as possible.

  • A Healthy Sleep Pattern

How much and how well you sleep has an impact on both your physical and mental health. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hardly surprising so many people don’t get enough. If you’re not getting enough sleep, your metabolism, moods, concentration, memory, stress hormones, immune system, cardiovascular health, and motor skills suffer. When you’re asleep, your body has time to heal, repair and rejuvenate itself.

  • Regular Exercise

If you want to be fit and healthy, you need to exercise regularly. There are various types of exercise you should be doing. Stretching exercises increase your body’s flexibility. Strength training strengthens your muscles. Aerobic exercise is good for your heart and lungs. Ideally, you want to be doing all three of these. As long as you’re getting some exercise, however, it’s going to be better than doing nothing at all.

Exercise can be very energizing, and you might find yourself taking it very seriously. If you’d like to be involved on a more professional level, there are many opportunities if you fancy a change of career. For example, click for personal trainer courses Brighton. Even if you don’t want to be a full-time personal trainer, it’s something you could do alongside your regular job or use what you learn for your own purposes.  

  • Eat a Healthy Balanced Diet

Does your regular diet include meat on a daily basis? You need to change your diet so that you’re eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If you feel the need to snack, then choose wholefoods such as fruit, vegetables, and nuts. Drink plenty of water and avoid highly processes foods.

Research is now showing that the key to lifelong good health is making a few simple changes in what we eat, how we exercise and the way we sleep. All the tips mentioned above are manageable if you really want to make a difference.

INSPIRATION:
Isla is wearing a sequin gown that shines both silver and gold and knowing it was all things shimmer and glitz I knew I wanted Islas makeup to do the same! I wanted her skin as radiant as possible and her makeup to simply shine, with a pop of color on the lips. Isla’s look is a fresh modern take on old Hollywood glamour.
LIP: I used Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick ($8) in Red Supreme to complete this flawless look. I wanted a classic siren red lip to pop against her beautiful skin tone while still complimenting her gown and hair.

African Pride, a hair care manufacturer with more than 30 years of experience creating quality, affordable products, introduces its Black Castor Miracle collection. The eight-product range provides women with a simplified regimen to change the way they care for their hair before, during and after wearing protective styles; which include braids, locs, weaves, wigs or any other hairstyle that tucks the ends of your hair away from constant manipulation.

Each product in the Black Castor Miracle line was specifically formulated with black castor oil; the number one ingredient associated with hair growth and other premium, all-natural ingredients like coconut water, jojoba, tea tree, peppermint, coconut and soybean oils, coconut milk and shea butter.

“Through our research, we know that within the past 12 months, more than 65 percent of African American women have worn their hair in a protective style,” said Kendria Strong, Director of Marketing. “We also know that consumers experience breakage and damage while wearing these styles due to lack of knowledge around proper hair care so we made sure that Black Castor Miracle products were simple, multi-functional and created with the highest quality ingredients to help them protect what’s theirs.”

The simplified Black Castor Miracle regimen covers the key phases or steps in the life cycle of a protective style: (Step 1) moisturize and prep, (Step 2) style and protect, (Step 3) refresh and seal and (Step 4) take down and detangle, all while nourishing the hair and scalp, sealing in moisture and protecting against styling damage that may cause breakage; helping to retain length while promoting healthy hair growth.

The eight-piece Black Castor Miracle collection includes:

  • Prep & Leave-In Moisture Butter (8oz) – Moisturize and prep hair before braided, weaved or protective styles with this specially crafted blend of black castor oil, shea butter and jojoba oil which penetrates hair strands, providing long-lasting hydration and protection against breakage during styling.

Specially crafted with a keratin complex, this light-weight formula blocks humidity, seals in shine and keeps hair straight for up to 2 weeks or until your next wash day.
  • Braid, Loc & Twist Gel (8oz) – Smooths frizz and fly-aways while boosting shine, for longer lasting styles. Leaves braids, locs and twists neat and smooth and can be used to slick edges or finish desired styles.
  • Hold & Cover Black Edge Gel (2.25oz) – Slicks stubborn edges, temporarily covers gray hair and fills in thinning edges or part lines.
  • Braid & Scalp Cleansing Rinse (12oz) – Uses a special blend of micellar water, black castor, coconut and peppermint oils to gently cleanse and condition hair, edges and scalp during braided styles and under weaves without causing frizz. Soothes scalp and calms itching; leaving hair refreshed and styles lasting longer.
  • Hair & Scalp Sealing Oil (6oz) – Locks moisture into hair strands and improves moisture retention, while helping to condition hair, soothe scalp, calm itching and prevent dryness. Great for braids, crochet styles, edges, under weave care and protective styles.

How to Pick a Best Mattress For Your Toddler

Did you know that your little one also needs the quality mattress for them to feel better as they sleep?  This doesn’t only ensure comfort, but it also helps them sleep better, which is important for their growth and development! But it might be difficult for many parents to choose a toddler bed since there’s so many to look into.

That’s why it’s best to do your research, just as you would with your own mattress. To help you out, I did my own tests and searching so read on! I’ll show you how to pick the best mattress for your toddler.

Sleeping toddler

How to Pick a Best Mattress For Your Toddler

Finding a mattress for your toddler isn’t the easiest, though possible! Here are the five important factors to consider when doing so:

  1. The Type of Mattress

There are only two types of mattresses to consider for toddlers, the innerspring or cotton mattress.

I highly recommend that you get a durable innerspring mattress, which is known to last longer and provide the adequate support and comfort. They are also more affordable compared to other foam-type mattresses, as they are the classic and traditional mattresses we’re used to. Get innerspring mattresses with thicker coils for durability.

However, you can also consider getting the cotton-made mattress, which has the softness yet still stays firm enough for better sleep for your little one. Choose cotton or foam mattresses with high-density foam (four pounds per cubic foot) for better edge support and durability.

  1. Safe and Hypoallergenic Materials

You should only get the best materials for your mattresses, especially for your toddler, who can be sensitive to various materials and also make a mess easily. That’s why I recommend that you prioritize materials that are organic and waterproof!

I highly recommend organic materials, which are naturally hypoallergenic and safe, preventing any allergies on sensitive babies. Furthermore, invest in waterproof material which prevents huge issues if your little one makes a spill or mess. That way, it’s easier to clean and you have fewer issues in washing or blotting accidents and spills.

Avoid investing in mattresses made with harsh chemicals, which can affect the way your little one sleeps.

  1. Size and Durability

There is usually one standard size for a crib and toddler mattresses, though some may differ depending on the toddler bed or crib you’ll be placing it on. Consider the dimensions and area the mattress will be on to prevent any sizing trouble. It should fit your little one just right, too!

Also, besides the safe materials, the mattress should also have the solid foundation and make to last. While toddlers would outgrow these beds, it’s still best to find something durable for years, especially if you’re considering having another baby. You’ll get your money’s worth that way and will have less trouble and expenses with replacing the mattress.

  1. Comfort and Support

For your little one to get the best sleep, they should have the combination of both comfort and support. So while I suggest that you get a soft cover and feel for your little one, it shouldn’t be too soft as well! This is because babies require a firmer surface to support their heads and bodies. A firmer surface can prevent flat head syndrome and SIDS, keeping them in one position and not sinking down to the point of trapping them!

There’s a fine line between firm and hard. It should still be comfortable enough for babies to sleep on (not as hard as a floor!).

  1. What’s Your Budget?

You also need to take account how much you can spend on your toddler’s mattress. While you can find cheaper ones available, I recommend that you still look into a reasonable budget rather than getting the most inexpensive one out there. This is because it has a shorter lifespan and is more susceptible to wear and tear.

However, avoid overspending as well, which takes a toll on your budget (unless you can spend more). Set a reasonable price range and you can begin your search based on what you can afford. For me, I would set $100 to $300 as a reasonable one to start off with.

Wrapping It Up

And there you have it! With the proper mattress for your toddler, they will be able to sleep well and without any issues. You can sleep well and without worrying about their sleep quality as they stay in bed, resting soundly. It only takes a bit of research to choose the best mattress for them!

Hopefully, this article on how to pick a best mattress for your toddler helped you out. So don’t wait any longer and look into these factors today!

If you have any questions or want to share your tips and experiences when getting a mattress, then comment below. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Simple At Home Nail Care Tips

Simple At Home Nail Care Tips

It’s winter and that means dry skin and brittle nails. Think you need regular visits to the expensive nail salon to maintain gorgeous, healthy nails? Think again: all it takes are some good habits, nutritious foods, and a couple great care products you can use at home, in any season.

Our nails are essentially an extension of our skin, and, like our skin and hair, they’re an indicator of our internal health. The amount of water we drink and the foods we eat affect the appearance and condition of our nails, skin, and hair, along with other factors like stress and environmental pollutants. Therefore, in order to have healthy nails, we need to eat well and drink plenty of fluids.

This means a diet that includes plenty of vegetables and fruits. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories our bodies need for proper maintenance and to fight off free radicals and chronic inflammation. Nails also specifically benefit from protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, B & C, zinc, iron, and calcium. It’s best to eat foods containing these components for proper use and absorption, but supplements will do, if necessary. And drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate from the inside out.

lovely hands

Speaking of hydration, nails benefit from topical treatment as well. When using a moisturizer, be sure to rub the product into your nails and cuticles, too. Let it absorb. What’s even better is using a formula that is made for cuticles – a part of hand and nail care that is often ignored. Cuticles are there to protect your nail bed from bacteria and infection, so avoid having them cut and removed. Instead, try part of the latest Grown Alchemist skin care products line called Cuticle Oil with Hypericum Extract, Neem, Borage. It is an oil used to repair nails and cuticles and to soften the latter. It is rich in fatty acids plus it reduces fine lines around the nails. Gently push cuticles back if you’re applying color.

When picking a nail polish, try to avoid harsh chemicals. Nail color can have some nasty ingredients in it, especially the cheaper brands. Watch out for: formaldehyde, camphor, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, dimethyl and diethyl phthalates. Water-based polishes tend to be safer, but you’ll be sacrificing a longer wear. Remove polish with acetone-free remover.

Purchase a nail care kit with a quality file and clippers. And unless you’re going for world record nail growth (yikes!), you should cut them regularly, otherwise they risk getting snagged, bent, and broken more often. Then you’ll have to cut them all down so they’re equal length.

Soak clean and bare nails in warm to hot water (not scalding) for a minute before cutting to soften and straighten them out. They’ll be easier to cut evenly. Then use the file to gently shape the edges from rounded off squares to curved, depending on your preference.

Apply moisturizer and cuticle oil and let them soak in. Then apply polish or leave them bare if you prefer. The right nutrients, water, and moisturizing care products should be enough to protect them but adding a clear coat for extra strength and protection is wise even if you don’t want a colored shade.
