Eyelash Beauty: What you need to Know about Eyelash Extensions

imgres-2

In this day and age, almost 90% of women use artificial means to enhance the appearance of their eyes. To mention but a few, eyeliners, mascara, eyelash extension, eye shadow are some of the beauty enhancers that a great majority of women have embraced.

Basically, eye lash extensions are added on the existing or rather natural eye lashes. The extensions are normally organic and synthetic and the procedure of placing the on your natural lashes will be painless. The main reason why women put on eyelash extensions is to make their lashes appear thicker and longer. Not to worry, these extensions are lightweight and comfortable to have on. Needless to say, eyelash extensions will make your eyes more appealing and your overall look more sophisticated and fresh.

However, before you do eyelash extension near me search, here is everything you need to know about eyelash extensions. So, for some exciting eyelash beauty tips, (please) read on.

Applying lash extensions

The most common question that almost every woman pops is, how long does it take to apply eyelash extensions? Well, according to most beauticians, it takes at least two hours to apply a full set of eyelash extensions. The lash experts have also made it known that since the procedure is painless, it has become a ‘dream come true’ for the modern woman.

The other concern that most women raise is when and how to have the lashes removed. According to lash experts, eyelash extensions can last up to 8 weeks but since this depends on the rate at which your hair grows, it is important that you have an eyelash maintenance procedure every three to four weeks.

To remove your lash extensions, please go to a ‘lashtician’ or an eye lash expert. The process of removing them without damaging your natural eyelashes can be tiring and time consuming.Brooke Jones,

How to Care for your Lash Extensions

When you decide to have those lash extensions, you better know how to care for them and make them last longer. After all, the reason for having them in the first place was to enhance the allure in your eyes. So, here is how you ensure that those eyelash extensions last long;

  • For the first night, sleep on your back – the glue that is used to fix these eyelash extensions can take like a day to dry up. So, to ensure that you do not get some funny kinks, sleep on your back for the first night or two. After that you can resume your normal sleeping position.
  • Avoid contact with water – it is important that you allow the glue to dry up. Therefore in addition to sleeping on your back, keep your eyes away from water.
  • Comb your eyelashes – using an eyelash brush, close your eyes and comb your lashes out. This will ensure that the lashes do not entangle and leaves them looking fresh and defined.
  • Oil them up – do not keep the eyelashes dry. Every once in a while, lube them up. The best remedy for dry eyelashes is baby oil. Gently rub a little baby oil on the eyelash extensions with your fingers.

Confidence is Key

confidence1

Recently I attended a networking event called, “LipStick Mania Business Social” and the topic was about image. I was expecting the regular spiels about hair, make up, and clothes. To my surprise the speaker, Marjory Brifil spoke of inner image which I am all about. I believe that image is tied to your self-esteem and it has to come from within. She spoke of four topics I want to share with you.

Self-Awareness – The word says it all, aware of one’s self, including one’s traits, feelings, and behaviors. It is important to know thyself. Know your strengths and your weakness. If you are not sure of your strengths and weaknesses here is a little exercise you can do. Take a blank piece of paper and draw a line down the center on the right side write the word strength on the left side of the line write the word weakness. Then write at least things on 10 on each side.

Self-Care – Taking care of yourself is so important, yet we rarely do it on a regular basis. Women we put everyone in front of ourselves. Taking care of one’s self is a deliberate action you take to care for your physical, mental and emotional health. Make an appointment with yourself to do just that, read a book, exercise, or meditate, whatever you need to do to safeguard your well-being body, mind and spirt.

Passion – The definition of passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. If you are not sure what your passion is, just think back to when you were a child. What did you like to do when you were little? What did you want to be when you grew up? Reconnect to what you loved and be passionate about it, may it be your business, your family or even your friends.

Enthusiast – Embrace your enthusiasm, don’t hold back because you fear judgement from others. When you do something enthusiastically, you do it with excitement and eagerness and when you are genuine others will feel your excitement and join in with you.
When you truly connect with these 4 things, your outer image will be vibrant and no one can resist you, people will be drawn to you and that will be beneficial to you and your business.

New Theraflu™ ExpressMax™caplets provide an instant warming relief formula for colds and flu

THERAFLU™ ExpressMax® Warming Relief Formula For: Severe Cold & Cough

THERAFLU™
ExpressMax™
Warming Relief Formula
For: Severe Cold & Cough

 

The cold and flu season has arrived with its nasty symptoms that can not only be annoying but keep us from enjoying and participating in the fun seasonal activities with family and friends.

While already experiencing a cooler than average fall,  many of us have come down with frequent colds, coughs, sore throats,  body aches, and the like.  But there’s good news!!

GSK Consumer Health has launched a terrific new product that will help Americans manage those cold and flu seasonal symptoms by providing a unique over the counter symptom relief Caplet with a warming sensation! GSK Consumer Health is launching Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ caplets. This is the one and only cold and flu caplet that provides you with an instant warming sensation!

You’ll find that these new Caplets combine the same nonprescription maximum strength medicine* that we’ve come to expect from the Theraflu™ExpressMax™ family of products while delivering their unique warming sensation you’ll experience right away!    *Use only as directed. Maximum strength per 4-hour dose.

 Theraflu™Express Max™Formulas for Daytime and Nighttime are available now at major retailers across the country.                                                                                          

I wanted to find out more about these new products to share with you, and  was truly  delighted to have an opportunity to ask Peter Van Zile, the Pharm.D., Country Medical Affairs Principal Scientist, Respiratory for GSK Consumer Healthcare the following questions:

#1. Vicki: Colds and flu may occur at any time, but is there a particular season when colds and flu seem to be more prevalent?

Mr.Van Zile: We’re constantly coming into contact with viruses and bacteria, so you’re right – it’s possible to catch a cold or get the flu year-round. Cold and flu season typically coincides with the fall and winter. The incidence of flu usually peaks in January – February and may last as late as May. Remember to wash your hands often during this time!

#2. Vicki: What differentiates a cold from the flu, and what symptoms might a person typically experience from each?

Mr. Van Zile: The influenza virus, commonly called the flu, is a contagious respiratory infection. Unlike the common cold, the flu may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people. Flu symptoms include nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, body ache, cough, and fever. If you suspect your symptoms are the result of the flu, you should consult your healthcare provider. Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets come in both Daytime and Nighttime options for severe cold and cough.

#3. Vicki:  What are the benefits for the consumer?

 Mr.Van Zile: With new Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets, consumers can feel confident that symptom relief is on the way, no matter the time of day. In addition to the symptoms temporarily relieved by the Daytime, the Night Time also relieves a runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose or throat, and itchy, watery eyes.  They can also expect the same powerful over-the-counter symptom relief they get from the Theraflu™ family of products, but now with a unique warming sensation they can instantly feel.

#4. Vicki:  Are you able to take Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Severe Cold & Cough Caplets if you develop a cold and are taking prescribed medications?

Mr. Van Zile: You shouldn’t use Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets with any other drug containing acetaminophen (prescription or nonprescription) or if you’re allergic to acetaminophen. If you aren’t sure whether a drug contains acetaminophen, ask your doctor or pharmacist. You also shouldn’t use Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets if you’re taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric, or emotional conditions, or Parkinson’s disease), or for two weeks after stopping the MAOI drug. If you don’t know if your prescription drug contains a MAOI, ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking the blood thinning drug warfarin.

#5. Vicki:  Please tell us more about the warming relief formula in the Theraflu™  Caplets.

Mr. Van Zile:  Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets are the one and only cold and flu caplet that provides a unique warming sensation you can instantly feel. The formulation has been designed to allow the ingredients that cause the warming sensation to dissolve in the mouth when the tablet is consumed. The warming sensation will be felt in the mouth and then in the throat and upper chest when the product is swallowed.

Vicki: Thank you so much Mr. Van Zile for sharing this extremely helpful and valuable information about the new Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets.        

I’d also like to thank GSK Consumer Healthcare for sending me a complimentary box of Theraflu™ ExpressMax™ Caplets. It’s reassuring to know that my family and I are now prepared for the cold and flu season as winter is on the way.

How to Successfully Market your Dentistry Website to your Audience

logo-2

Business websites have become the ultimate way for business minded people to reach out to their potential client base. Well, this is not any different when it comes to dentistry. Yes, believe it or not, dentists are going above and beyond to ensure that they reach as many patients as possible.

Needless to say, if you want to make the best out of what exactly it is you are offering, then online marketing is something you must embrace. First things first, this kind of connection will never happen until you set up a business website or blog. The website should contain quality, informative and convincing content that is going to lure your audience.

As we all know, a website is not really a website until you get excellent rankings on Google, right? Well, read on to understand how you can be able to market you services online and start your journey to high rankings.

  • Research widely

For your dental SEO Company to become successful, you must stay relevant to who you are and what you are. Because you are pursuing on becoming the best dentistry website, then your web content should include everything there is to know about diagnosis, treatment of disease, prevention of diseases and basically anything about oral cavity and health.

Explore different dentistry websites and try to find out what it is they are putting out there. Fundamentally, compare and contrast. When that is said and done, you can now find ways of standing out from those other websites and emerging the top, because whether we like it or not, a website is as good as dead when you have zero traffic to the website.

  • Be informative

The only way you can get traffic to your website is when you provide information that is precise, helpful and convincing. So, for online marketing, generate articles that are good enough for your clients. Basically, search engine optimization is all about those articles building a strong platform for your website on Google rankings.

So, all you need to do is create quality and detailed content that your viewers will want to read through. Ensure that your articles flow well, that your grammar is on point and that they are as informative as possible. Moreover, ensure that the article flows well so that the reader can actually read through every single detail.

Key Points to Remember

  • Nowadays, most potential clients spend most of their time on the internet.
  • Your website should not only inform, but also educate, diagnose, and treat oral conditions as well as promote oral health
  • SEO (search engine optimization) is an important feature in the business world today, and definitely dentistry is no exception.
  • Every single detail is important when it comes to marketing your website
  • Wow your audience with top quality content.
  • Focus on getting good reviews; they will contribute to your being ranked high.
  • When you get traffic, your business grows and that means more money for you.

Rock that Holiday Look

Think costume theatrical. The classic theme for the holidays is festive, so it’s a great time to dress up and celebrate. Be daring, and have fun with colors and makeup.

Choose sparkling, bright sequin dresses in reds, pinks, silvers, greens and blues. I found a great pink sequin dress that I only paid $10 for at a discount store. I kept it in my closet just so I could wear it during the holiday season.

If you are more conservative, classic black always provides a classic, subtle and polished look.

Either way, the key to rocking any dress is making sure it fits properly. It should be tight enough to show off your assets — yet not so tight as to pull or make you look like a stuffed sausage.

Your makeup should be complimentary, with a strong emphasis on the eyes, especially for an evening event. Always apply eyeliner and mascara; you can even add some shimmer or sparkles.

Just remember to blend and keep both sides symmetrical. Play around with your lips. I always choose a darker color with a light color over the lips, especially if you opt for a dramatic look on the eyes.

Above all, have fun! And happy holidays!

4 of the Most Desirable Features in 2016 Smartphones

imgres

It is amazing how far smartphones have evolved in such a short amount of time. The giant shoebox-sized cellphones that could only make calls have morphed into technological wonders that are slim, sleek and seemingly able to do anything.

While being able to access the internet and email your boss from the local coffee shop is old news, there are some bells and whistles that will still wow you. With that in mind, check out the following most desirable features in this year’s smartphones:

Edge Displays

Samsung’s Galaxy line has branched off to offer the Galaxy S6 Edge and S7 Edge. As its name implies, the display continues onto the edge of the phone and provides information and notifications on the side, which is handy when the phone is lying face down on a table or is partly visible from inside your purse. The edge glows when you are getting an incoming call, and you can even assign a specific color to contacts you add to the People edge. The edge also displays a clock and can alert you if you miss a call, text or email from one of your fave five people.

4K Technology

If you love taking videos of your everyday adventures, look for a smartphone that has 4K technology. Your footage of your pets, kids, travels and fashion events will look like it was produced by someone in Hollywood. The iPhone 6s Plus is renowned for its 4K technology that helps you take crystal clear photos and videos. Plus, since it’s so small, you can take it with you anywhere.

Virtual Technology

The mere thought of turning your smartphone into a virtual reality (VR) experience is mind blowing. If your phone is VR-compatible, you can purchase a VR headset and download apps that allow you to virtually explore the world with your friends, play games and more. The good news is that the VR headsets work with a long list of available smartphones, including iPhone and Android phones. You don’t necessarily have to upgrade to the latest model to virtually visit Europe with your BFF, all from the comfort of your living room. Freefly VR has a comprehensive list of phones that work with VR technology.

Fingerprint Readers

Some of the newer smartphones are now equipped with fingerprint readers that you can use to access your phone, authorize a credit card payment and do other tasks. It goes without saying that you want this technology to be bug free. The Apple iPhone 6 and its Apple Touch ID is as reliable as it is easy to use. The Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X also have impressive fingerprint sensors. By simply swiping your finger, you can avoid the hassle of remembering passwords, log into secure websites and have the peace of mind that anyone who picks up your phone won’t be able to access your personal data.
