4 Pro Tips to Achieve the Best Holiday-Season Look

Have you ever wondered where the ugly Christmas sweater craze originated and why everyone chooses to look, well, rather silly?

According to the aptly named Ugly Christmas Sweater Book, the rise of ugly sweaters started in the late 1980s, around the same time when Chevy Chase played the iconic role of Clark Griswold in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. But the ugly sweater party craze saw its rapid climb around 2001 and hasn’t slowed down since.

Then again, depending on who you ask, the ugly sweater Christmas craze should be put to rest in favor of gorgeous seasonal fashion that people are proud to wear. If you want to retire those ugly sweaters and reach for something more flattering, follow these pro tips for a fashion-forward holiday.

1. Reach for That Little Black Dress

The classic little black dress is always a must-have for any seasonal wardrobe. It’s versatile, flattering and offers plenty of flexibility throughout the holiday season. Dress it up with stunning jewelry and fabulous shoes, or keep it simple with an essential bangle bracelet and earrings. And if you secretly love all the holiday fanfare and ugly Christmas sweater, add a fun scarf or wrap depicting a festive seasonal motif.

2. Go Glam with Velvet

There may be no better excuse to pull out the velvet and drape yourself in luxury than the holiday season. Choose from black or dark blue, or go bold with bright red and grab some shoes to match. Wearing velvet is also a fun way to make a big entrance at your next holiday party, where all eyes are bound to be on you. But if you’re not feeling head-to-toe velvet, opt for velvet shoes and a handbag to add some style to your holiday outfit.

3. Drape Yourself in Jewelry

If you’re not sure what to wear or don’t want to invest in a new dress, celebrate the season with your best jewelry for a glittery evening on the town. The holidays are the time to shine, and you can use this season as an excuse to invest in new signature pieces for your collection.

Look for long, draping necklaces that can jazz up the little black dress, sparkling earrings to grab some attention from friends and family, and oversized cocktail rings for a festive touch. The best part about jewelry is that you can add more to make a statement or tone it down to keep the focus on simple elegance.

4. Layer for Warmth and Style

With a mix of soft, cashmere scarves and cardigans, wearing layers is an easy way to create a stunning look for the holidays. Plus, you simultaneously end up looking great and staying warm without compromising your signature look. Then again, if you live in a more temperate climate, you can still layer your way to achieve that upscale holiday look.

Just add a lightweight sweater or wrap to dress up your outfit. Layers also let you course correct your wardrobe as the night wears on. After an upscale dinner, you can hop over to a party and quickly shed your layers for a more basic look to join a casual crowd.

Be as Creative as You Want

With the right pieces, from the little black dress to the right jewelry, holiday fashion can be fun and flexible for just about anyone. This holiday season, let your creativity dictate your signature fashion. Just make sure to donate those ugly holiday sweaters to make room for your new style.

Life Lessons From Mr. Tater Tot

Books that preach or teach can be so boring that you would put them down after just a few
paragraphs of reading. However, that is not the case if you are reading life lessons from a
Tater Tot life lesson book. Drawing you into his world of fun, Tater Tot and his friends take
you on a fun-filled trip and then something goes haywire. This is where the life lesson comes
in. There are no books that give us advice about what to do and make us aware of potential
problems and pitfalls before they take place.

Frankly, even if there was, we would not pay heed to them, would we? Tater Tot, however,
is too cute to be ignored and his stories are interesting and take you to the crux rather
quickly. As a fall guy, Tater Tot allows us the luxury of practicing empathy for those who
make mistakes and did not have a life lesson book to either guide them or did not
comprehend what was being said in the life lesson book. Tater Tot allows us to do this and
not be on the defensive about the issue.

Why do we Need Life Lesson Books?

Life lesson books should be interesting and should make its readers reflect on the situation
and learn the life lesson therein. We must understand why we act the way we do. However,
it is equally important that we also understand how our attitude, words, and actions are
perceived by others around us. This understanding will bring about a difference in how we
communicate and act with others to achieve the best outcome in the situation. Sounds
simple, doesn’t it, and yet we see people around us creating problems for others with their
speech or actions.

While it is great fun to watch television sitcoms, where misunderstandings make for
humorous situations, in real life such situations can generate a tremendous amount of
stress for those involved. Life lessons books at MrTaterTot.com, offer us the chance to
reflect and ask if we truly understand what another is trying to convey to us.

Tater Tot Life Lessons

Life would have been so easy if we had a book to open each morning that would tell us what
we need to learn to pass that day. It would have been easier if we could remember
everything we read in that book by heart. However, the reality is different and that is why
Tater Tot decided to write these life lessons books in such a way that people would want to
read them over and over again resulting in a better understanding and newer learning each
time. Life lessons are multiple and deal with every aspect of our lives.

Tater Tot shows us how although he loves to help people, he ends up causing problems and
issues for them. Not wanting you to feel as miserable as he does after realizing the problems
he has caused, Tater Tot hopes that his life lesson s books will help you in understanding
and realizing how to avoid similar situations.

Happy reading!

An Intro About Mimosa Pudica

 

Mimosa pudica is called by different names in different parts of the world. It is called the sleepy plant, touch-me-not, sensitive plant, Chui Mui, Makahiya plant, etc. This plant is available in many South Asian countries but it is native to Central and South America. It is found largely in wastelands under the shade of trees or in other areas where there is shade. 

The plant is a perennial herb that belongs to the Fabaceae family and genus Mimosa. It is spiny and grows up to a height of about 30 cm. It has flower puffs that are small and globular and has compound leaves. The leaves respond to touch by rapid closing and slowly reopening after a few minutes. 

 

Why do the leaves close upon touch?

There are many species in the plant kingdom that experience structural changes rapidly and is known as rapid plant movement. The receptors that are present in the body of the plant is activated due to which there are modifications in the shape of the plant. Among the plants that show rapid plant movement Mimosa Pudica is one nad hence called a sensitive plant. That is the reason people grow it as an ornamental plant. When the plant is touched there are specific regions in the plant which release potassium ions and many other chemicals in the body. These chemicals result in loss of pressure in cells as the water gets diffused out of it. That causes the leaves to shut when there is an external stimulus like the human touch. This is then transferred to the neighboring leaves too and even that closes. 

 

What is the purpose of the closing of the leaves?

Though there is no proof of why the Mimosa Pudica developed the trick of closing the leaves on external stimulus many researchers believe that it as a sort of defense mechanism. It can be to prevent a herbivorous insect or animal from eating it by scaring them away from a plant that folds or droops when touched. It can also help in dislodging an insect that can harm the plant. 

As exciting as it looks to the human eye this process of recoiling and opening consumes a lot of energy and hence the plant has to work extra hard to regain it back. Moreover, it is also found that rapid movement interferes with photosynthesis. Though it is great to watch the recoiling and refurling of leaves it is not in the best interest of the plant and hence should be avoided. 

 

Chemical composition of Mimosa Pudica

As per the phytochemical screening of this plant, its leaves have many alkaloids, flavonoids, amino acids, glycosides, etc. The root extracts contain essential oils, fatty acids, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phytosterol, and glycosides. It also contains a few phytochemical compounds like betulinic acid, jasmonic acid, mimosine and Mimopudine which are essential for health. An intro to Mimosa Pudica from Microbe Formulas shows that it contains antibacterial and antivenom properties that can be used to treat many general health issues like a sinus infection, healing of wounds, inflammation, fungus related issues and can even treat venomous snake bite. Using this plant extract daily as a supplement has many health benefits that make it a highly beneficial herb to have.  

Health benefits of Mimosa Pudica

Treats small cuts and wounds: The leaves of the Mimosa Pudica plant have antibacterial properties that not only help in reducing pain but also heals the small cuts and wounds effectively leaving no scars behind. Apply the juice of the leaves on the affected area directly and repeat the process until it gets cured. 

 

Reduces joint pain and arthritis: The shy plant has many anti-inflammatory properties that aid in relieving joint pain and also arthritis. A paste should be made from the leaves of this plant and should be applied to the joints. Repeated application of this paste every night helps in reducing swelling and also pain. 

 

Reduces itching: The anti-inflammatory properties of the leaves help in reducing itching and the anti-bacterial properties ensure that the root cause is eliminated. The condition which can worsen due to constant scratching can be brought under control by mixing the paste made of leaves with sesame oil. 

 

Reduces menstrual bleeding: The leaves extract has properties that can balance the hormones in the body and also bring instant pain relief from cramps during menstruation. The juice got from the leaves can be mixed with honey and pepper to treat excessive bleeding. 

 

Acts as an anti-venom: Mimosa pudica has antivenom properties which can reduce the venom of even a cobra attack as per a study. The water obtained from boiling the dried root is said to have this property. But this treatment has to be done under the supervision of a specialist healer. 

 

Cures piles: Mimosa Pudica is useful to reduce the bleeding piles. The leaves of the plant have to be powdered and mixed with a glass of milk. This mixture has to consume twice a day in order to get rid of piles. 

 

Helps in diabetes and blood pressure control: High blood sugar levels in the body can lead to other complications. This can be controlled by the use of Mimosa Pudica as it releases insulin to the blood and thus regulates the sugar levels. The juice of the plant should be consumed for a week to 10 days to see the blood sugar levels reducing.

Along with diabetes, high blood sugar can lead to many cardiovascular diseases and by drinking the juice extract of this plant’s leaves the high blood pressure gets regulated. 

 

Protects the liver: The plant extract is said to be useful in reducing toxins and protecting the liver. It also has anthelmintic properties that aid in killing and expelling worms from the intestinal tract.

 

Treats jaundice: It is a disease that happens when there is excessive bilirubin in the system, by consuming the juice of Mimosa Pudica for 2 to 3 weeks it can help in treating jaundice. 

 

Mimosa Pudica is a traditional herb that has been used by practitioners as natural medicine. The health benefits that are mentioned above are also acknowledged by health experts and hence safe to use.

Using Teledentistry To Keep You Looking Glamorous!

By definition Teledentistry is the use of information technology and telecommunications for dental care, consultation, education, and public awareness. And here in Hollywood, the biggest company is BYTE, whose made-to-order aligners are six times faster than braces and guaranteed for life! Behind the marketing for this great company is Sarah McDonald. After years of working at Fortune 500 companies (BD Medical, YouTube) Sarah took her talents to early stage start-ups in the Direct-to-Consumer marketplace such as byte. I sat down with Sarah to find out more about herself, why social media is important in today’s marketplace for companies, the ‘Don’t Tell Me To Smile‘ campaign that her brand has made gone viral, and all about byte and why celebrities are using the products of byte to look fabulous!

NICK NORTHSTAR: Let’s kick things off with a fun fashion question: How would you describe your own personal style – both while at home and while working?

SARAH MCDONALD: Typically I go for minimalist and timeless looks both at home and at the office. I try not to buy super trendy pieces that will only last a season but instead look for neutral colors I can wear throughout time that fit me well. When it comes to work, I choose my outfits based on comfort and ease. Vintage Levis, a white tee and gold jewelry is my go-to uniform!

NN: Why did you decide to leave your job working for big fortune 500 companies and concentrate more on start-ups in the direct-to-consumer marketplace? What’s your day-to-day like now?

SM: Working at fortune 500 companies was a great start to building my career foundation and of course was impressive on paper, but I hit a point where I realized I wasn’t truly passionate about what I was doing. It started to feel like I was just another number, and I wanted to make a larger impact when it came to my day to day. I was in my mid-20s and made the decision to change industries completely. This change was terrifying as I am a calculated risk persona and felt that I’d have to start over to do so. I figured if I was potentially going to take a couple of steps backwards, I wanted to grow as quickly as possible and thought a start-up would be my best bet. I figured I’d get the chance to take a lot on and gave myself one year to “just try it out.” I happened to land at a start up in the direct-to-consumer wine and tech industry and haven’t looked back at larger companies since. My day-to-day now is fast paced, exciting, and while it feels like it’s never-ending, is so worth it! As Head of Brand Marketing at byte, I wear dozens of hats, and I’ve had to master the skill of prioritizing. I typically start my week off identifying any deadlines and organizing my many to-dos in order of urgency. The week usually speeds by with meetings, brainstorms and content creation sessions. I have an amazing team that I work with every day and it’s been a very exciting experience so far.

NN: What makes byte stand out from other teledentistry companies?

SM: byte stand out in many ways! We’re able to straighten your teeth in half the time of any other invisible aligner company in the marketplace thanks to our exclusive accelerator device, the HyperByte. Not only can we get you done faster but we’re also a fraction of the cost and can be done without leaving home, which is major. Another way we stand out is our Smile Science technology, created by our co-founder Dr. Marashi, who is the celebrity dentist of every A-lister out there. We design a smile that is all your own by analyzing your selfie and considering the proportions of your face, unlike other brands that use generic software.

NN: What first attracted you to them (byte) to work for?

SM: I was attracted to the idea that I would be able to change lives through a product I believed in. I loved the thought of providing something meaningful to people who may have not previously been able to afford or access the tools to achieve a smile they were proud of. I joined byte pre-launch, and while the idea of starting a company was scary in some ways, I was eager to have a real say in how we would build an authentic and meaningful brand.

NN: How important is social media these days for beauty and lifestyle companies to get the word out?

SM: Social media is extremely important especially when it comes to beauty and lifestyle companies. A brand like ours that is altering the way you look and requires a lot of trust relies heavily on our customers to share their experience, and social media is where that takes place. Our product is something people spend lots of time researching before deciding to purchase so I always want to make sure that we have a one stop shop on social for them to get educated, see byte results, ask questions and feel inspired to go after the smile they’ve dreamed of with byte. It’s a great place to tell your brand story and reach new audiences.

NN: What has the feedback been from people who have used the various products byte offers?

SM: The feedback has been beyond amazing. Since day one, we’ve been obsessed with our customers’ experience and do everything we can to make sure that each and every person feels valued and gets the results we promised them. If you look at byte reviews, you’ll often see people calling out how much they love our customer service, are in awe of the HyperByte and love the brand itself in terms of design, look and feel. Our entire byte team takes great pride in what we do, and we love to celebrate our customers as they finish their treatment and achieve their new smiles.

NN: What is the process for those wanting that “perfect smile”?

SM: The process is all about convenience and ease. You start off by finding out if you’re a byte candidate by ordering our Impression Kit and taking molds of your teeth at home. An orthodontist reviews your smile and creates a custom treatment plan so you can see what your smile journey will look like. At this point, you’ll order your byte aligner system which comes with all of your aligners, teeth whitener and our exclusive HyperByte tool, and you’re on your way to a straighter, whiter smile. Our team is with you every step of the way, and we make it work with your budget whether that’s through our 100% credit approval financing that’s under $100 per month, using your insurance or utilizing your FSA/HSA benefits! byte takes an average of 3 months to give you the smile you’ve dreamt of!

NN: byte also recently launched the “Don’t Tell Me To Smile” campaign. Tell us more about this initiative and why it’s so important to you?

SM: This campaign is very important to me, and I’ve been in awe of the heartfelt response we’ve gotten since launch. I’ve always admired brands that are not afraid to use their voice and reach to get real messages across. It’s powerful when done right and allows a brand to stand for more than just their product. “Don’t Tell Me To Smile” campaign was all around empowering people to own their smiles. Unfortunately, most women can think of one if not dozens of times someone on the street, at a bar or even at work has told them they need to smile more, and we wanted to start a conversation around this. Smiling is great (and we’re clearly in the business of making smiles), but we also want to build the confidence around a beautiful smile and it being for you to show off when you so choose. Upon launch, we received thousands of shares and comments from women sharing their stories around being told to smile more and how much our video meant to them. We hoped that men would jump into the conversation as this was a learning moment for everyone to get something out of.

NN: As we ask everyone here, on a personal note, what is your definition of “Glam”?

SM: Glam is being the best version of yourself and finding the confidence to live in your truth. I love when I see people doing what makes them feel beautiful and fabulous.

NN: What can we expect from byte moving forward this year and next?

SM: 2020 is going to be a great one. We just entered into an exclusive partnership with FabFitFun, the #1 beauty and lifestyle subscription box and have other surprises in the works. We will continue to put our customers first and find ways to help people achieve smiles they’re proud of and confidence to get after their dreams.

Color Outside Of The Lines: Why You Need To Dress Outside Of Your Normal Style Sometimes

 

 

While you may have got your style down to a fine art, do you really venture outside of it these days? We all know that there are things that suit us down to the ground but the big problem is that we stick to these things so rigidly that we are doing ourselves a disservice. It’s important we find a different style sometimes, but we can only do this if we dress outside of what we normally wear. Why do you need to dress out of your normal style on occasion?

 

It Gives You A Chance To Try New Prints

Some of us stay away from leopard print, others embrace it. If you are someone who, for the last few years, has been slowly coming around to the idea of leopard print, it’s always worth trying something simple like a leopard kimono, and seeing if it suits your new approach to style. Some people wouldn’t touch leopard print with a barge pole, but if you are one of these people, you could always go for something like hounds tooth instead.

 

You Are Trying On A New Version Of You!

It’s a great opportunity to try something different, but also, dress for a different part that you want to play. Look at your role models; they change their style every now and again, and perhaps you don’t need to necessarily put on new clothes; do something different with your hair instead. Trying on a new version of you is your duty! Become someone different, even if it’s for the day!

 

It May Make You Happier

We can underestimate how much clothes have an impact on us. The right clothes provide so much detail in terms of class, power, and age. But what we can also get from this is an increased sense of self-satisfaction. Changing up your style doesn’t mean dressing in odd colors if you don’t want to. Wear things that make you happy. And you don’t know if you’ve changed so much, especially if you’ve had the same style for the last 10 years, so give something different a try. Perhaps you are sticking to your early 20s styles, and it’s now time to embrace your 30s? When you look at how you present yourself, you will feel better.

 

It Could Change Your Life

Like they say: dress for the job you want, not the job you have! When you decide to switch up your fashion ideals and dress outside of your normal style, you may very well get inspired to go down a completely different avenue. Yes, this may seem like a very grand statement, but you’ll still look great! Having an extra bit of confidence when you look at yourself in the mirror could springboard you into new and exciting territories. There is nothing quite so empowering than the right pair of heels  and a swagger when you walk into a job interview! 

 

And remember, even if these things don’t suit you, that’s what receipts are for! So try something new; you never know, it may change you forever!

Utica NY Laser Hair Removal and It’s Benefits for Beauty

Is hairless more attractive? Historically, women have always been required to have hairless skin on their bodies, and that includes smooth skin in parts such as the underarms, face, and, according to recent trends, in the bikini area. A survey conducted among men shows that 46% have a preference for the women going completely bare down there.

How important is manscaping down there? Thirty percent of men say that hair down there is a deal-breaker. Ouch! To make the sexes even, however, men need to trim their hair too. Chest hair, underarm hair, and hair in the abdomen need to go.

Women surveyed in a study find hairless men’s bodies more attractive. Recent trends have settled the attractiveness of hairless bodies, so how does one go about getting rid of unwanted hair to achieve flawless, smooth skin? Plucking is painful, and shaving tears the skin and leaves ugly hair follicles.

Luckily, laser hair removal is an alternative. Click here for clinics which are readily accessible and offer reliable and high-quality services. Below are just some of the benefits of laser hair removal:

  1. Removing hair with a laser is more precise

How does hair removal lasers work? Lasers use light to destroy the hair. Light is concentrated on the hair for a few seconds. The hair absorbs the light, thus destroying it, roots, and all so it won’t come back. If you have coarse hair on your chin, underarm and legs, the precision of laser can target these unwanted hairs and get rid of them completely.

You can get rid of unwanted hair speedily with laser

People are always in a hurry, and if you have a tight schedule, a laser hair removal session will not take up much of your time. A laser can remove hair in small areas in a matter of seconds. For larger areas such as the chest and legs, the procedure may take up to an hour.

  1. Laser hair removal ensures results

With other methods of hair removal, the hair comes back. Maintaining a hairless body with other procedures can be time-consuming and costly. Think of the amount you have to spend on regular waxing. Shaving is not foolproof and leaves ugly coarse hair in the skin’s pores. Plus, you will feel new hair growing back in a matter of days or weeks. These methods are not designed to induce hair loss permanently, unlike laser hair treatments.

  1. Most laser hair removal machines are now pain-free

Laser hair removal is pain-free. The technology for hair removal is so sophisticated that most laser hair removal machines have a cooling mechanism. Laser uses light, and light is transformed into heat that destroys the hair and its follicles. This process can cause sharp pain, but the cooling mechanism mitigates the pain caused by the heat. The machine gives blasts of cooling air constantly while the laser performs its work so you can have hair removal sessions comfortably and without pain.

  1. Laser hair removal means less skin irritation

What is worse than coarse hair would be an ingrown hair. Laser hair treatments can specifically target hairs that are ingrown and remove it. You need several sessions to obliterate hair using laser hair removal methods. If your hair does grow back again, it comes back thinner and straighter. Hair that grows straight means less irritation, so you won’t have just smoother looking skin. You will also feel better.

  1. You can be fuzz-free while having your laser hair removal

Unlike plucking and waxing, you need the hair to grow to remove it. The method of waxing needs wax to stick to the hair and remove it in one tug. Plucking also requires visible hair. With these methods, you have to wait for days and deal with fuzzy ugly hair before you can get rid of it. If you choose the laser method, you can go completely shaved and go to the clinic with no worries that your hair won’t be properly removed. Laser is so precise that it can target the hair follicle itself.

  1. Laser hair removal has minimal side effects

Other hair removal methods cause a lot of suffering. Waxing entails that you have a high tolerance for pain while shaving can leave you with uneven hair and ugly nicks and cuts. Plucking only allows you to remove hair in small areas and is also extremely painful. The only side effect of laser would be redness, which disappears after a few hours. You can apply a soothing aloe vera lotion or gel after if you need to calm your skin. Other procedures leave an aftermath of its effects on your skin in the form of bumps, cuts, and sometimes a chicken skin appearance. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, only leaves beautiful, smooth, and hair-free skin.

Final Thoughts

People want to look attractive, and having perfect skin that is hairless and pleasing to look at is undoubtedly the trend these days. If going hairless will increase your confidence and give you the look you want better get an appointment with an aesthetic clinic and watch your unwanted hairs disappear. Soon your beautiful hairless body will be turning heads at the beach and make you feel like a total knockout.

5 Tips for an Eco-Friendly Wedding

Your big day is a celebration of your love, and it should be a reflection of your personal style. More and more couples are becoming conscious of their environmental footprint and are choosing to have an earth-friendly wedding day. Of course, you can still have the day you have always dreamed of, but with a few creative eco moderations.

If you want to plan an eco-friendly wedding, here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Upcycle a Dress

You might have spotted your dream dress in a designer boutique, but what if you were to look for something second-hand instead? These days, dry cleaning, alterations and acid-free storage mean a preloved wedding dress can look brand new.

Reusing a dress will give it a second life, and the added benefit is it will save you money. If you’re sentimental, you may be able to wear a dress from your mother or grandmother, and with the help of a dressmaker, it can be made into your own. After the big day, pay it forward and pass your dress on to someone else.

2. Create a Wedding Website

When it’s time to send out your invitations, you can cut down on additional printing costs by creating a wedding website. Your website can be customized with the names of the couple, photographs and a choice of themes.

When guests access your website, they will find additional wedding details such as time, location, accommodation options, and a gift registry. They can even RSVP online, which saves paper while being a convenient way to respond.

3. Make the Most of Natural Lighting

An outdoor ceremony and reception under the stars will provide a romantic atmosphere, providing the weather is suitable. A wedding with lower energy consumption is a more eco-friendly choice, and you can use it to your advantage. An evening outdoor celebration can be enhanced with solar lights, and when the day is over you can reuse them in your own garden.

4. Source Organic Flowers

Flowers that are out of season or rare may be pretty, but they come at an environmental cost. In fact, your favorite bouquet may have been grown and stored with harsh chemicals. In order to avoid this, look for flowers that are in bloom at the time of your wedding and ask your florist how they are sourced. Oftentimes, flowers come with plastic to help keep them in position, but you can ask for sustainable alternatives such as bamboo.

5. Replace the Bombonieres

Giving your guests a gift is a nice gesture, but knick-knacks wrapped in plastic could very well end up in a landfill. So be thoughtful with your bonbonnieres and use recycled packaging. A potted plant is a favor they can cherish and is something they will continue to enjoy. If you prefer, skip the bonbonnieres all together and ask each guest to choose between two charities. You can then donate a small sum on their behalf.

The Wrap Up

You can have a beautiful wedding day while still being eco-friendly, as a few simple replacements could make your special day a more sustainable one. Consider wearing a preloved dress, cutting down your energy consumption, finding organic flowers, and rethinking the wedding favors.

There will be a range of elements you’ll discover that can be replaced with eco-friendly ones. You just need some forward planning — and creativity!
