May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Don’t believe these 4 Myths

Day at Beach

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. We all know that the sun can be very damaging to the skin. It can even  be deadly!

With over twelve years leading the field of skin research, Dr. Hal  Simeroth,  skin expert and creator of innovative Stemology skincare line wants us to be aware of some of the most common myths about sun damage.

stemology

Here, Dr. Simeroth lists the top four myths about sun exposure.

  • You won’t get skin damage if you wear sunscreen. 
  • You have to be out in the sun for a while to get skin damage. 
  • You’re only at risk for sun damage and skin cancer in the summer months. 
  • It’s safer to use a tanning bed and avoid sun exposure. 

Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature skin aging, contributing to such unsightly problems as brown spots, wrinkles, and thickened skin. Damaging UVA and UVB rays, though invisible, break down skin’s collagen and elastin – essential elements for healthy renewal and repair – resulting in loose, sagging skin, or worse: skin cancer.

Audrey – A Cherished Memory By Author John Schwartz

Audrey Hepburn, her name is synonymous with the elegance of Hollywood’s Golden Age and, in her later years, human rights. Audrey Hepburn was born May 4, 1929 in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium and passed away on January 20, 1993 in Tolochenaz, Vaud, Switzerland.

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey – A Cherished Memory shares the personal account of a young boy who met, and became forever fascinated by, a young Audrey Hepburn in German-occupied Holland during World War II. The book also includes rare and beautiful photographs of pre-fame Audrey.

Author John Schwartz was only 7 years old at the time, but the chance encounter with the future movie star was a day that Schwartz never forgot. He longed to meet her again, and miraculously, his dream came true much later in life.

A Short Travel Guide to Pennsylvania

pennsylvania scenery

Having traveled all around the world, we’ve had a ton of memorable experiences that we’ve shared on this blog. While most of our posts have been about highlighting  beauty, food, and people, every once in a while we like to feature  places that we have been to as well.

Our own United States of America, home to 50 states and several other jurisdictions,  is a repository of many different cultures coming from many different people from all walks of life.

What we particularly enjoy about traveling in the US are the scenic views. Some of them are so breathtaking, you can really feel the grandeur and the majesty of the landscapes. These landscapes can also evoke a sense of romanticism. When you’re with your significant other, you may even want to be spontaneous and get married right then and there!!

This is exactly what the state of Pennsylvania has to offer. During one of our trips, we had the opportunity to visit Pennsylvania and tour some of the most breathtaking spots in the state.

Talamore Country Club

We had the chance to visit Talamore Country Club during our last visit to the US. The country club can serve as a luxurious wedding venue especially during wedding season. We noticed a lot of lovey-dovey couples making inquiries at the reception area, and it’s easy to see why. With sprawling landscapes full of native flora and fauna accentuating the rustic feel of the club’s architecture, it really does evoke that romantic feeling every couple wants to have during their special day.

Cathedral of Learning

Our style of travel is not exactly one that can be described as “Instagrammable” or “backpacker-friendly”. We’re always sort of in the middle, just on the lookout for any new places or experiences and trying new things. So our visit to the University of Pittsburgh was very much right up our alley. And boy, were we really happy we did. We got to see the Cathedral of Learning, which was built in the Gothic style in the 1930s. The study hall was like something out of a medieval fairytale or the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Its imposing presence and high ceilings really made us feel like we had to wisen up.

Codorus State Park

Those of you who are more inclined to going on nature trips will surely appreciate Codorus State Park. When we went there, seemingly unending hues of blue and green really made us feel like we were in a different world. This state park is great for the number of outdoor activities you can do with your loved one if you are both into the outdoors. Hiking trails, horseback riding, and of course, fishing or boating on Lake Marburg are just some of the things in the area you can do. We really had fun riding around Codorus State Park ourselves.

Our trip to  Pennsylvania, was wonderful!

The Ultimate Road Trip: How To Have A Safe And Fun-Filled Adventure on the Road

Road Trip

 

From TV shows to real life, road trips have become more than just a once in a blue moon affair. They have become a part of American culture. For the adventurous and free spirits, spontaneous road trips are sacred. However, there must still be ample preparation for it. Before heading out on the road, you must know the most important considerations and be ready for any contingency.

Whether you are planning your next trip to a not-so-nearby city or you are planning to have an exhilarating long drive just for the sake of it, these tips will surely get your gears turning and your heart jumping and thumping with excitement. Continue reading below to learn more about how to be safe while on a road trip.

1) Check The Condition Of Your Vehicle

Before anything else, you first need to assess the condition of your vehicle. There is nothing more disappointing than a cancelled road trip due to avoidable situations. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition and check your brakes before you hit the road.

Also, check on your tires. Is the tread too worn out already? Are they still viable for a long drive? Consider these questions first and take immediate action. Moreover, check your tire pressure so you can avoid a blown out tire, which not only brings hassle and rains on the fun but can also have grave consequences such as when accidents occur.

If you ever get involved in a car accident, make sure to seek medical attention immediately. It is a good thing to know emergency hotlines and keep them on hand. Also, it is advisable to seek out the services of a lawyer than to outrightly and solely depend on the insurance company. Remember, a lawyer looks out for your best interests while insurance companies look out for cheaper compensations. If you ever get involved in a car accident while in New Jersey, you can visit https://www.dsslaw.com/jersey-city/car-accident-lawyer/ to find reliable and excellent legal services.

2) Make Sure The Driver Gets Enough Rest

Next to the car, the driver is the most important figure in this road trip. Make sure he or she gets a good night’s sleep before you all head out for a long road trip. If this is not possible, at least have another passenger who knows how to drive the vehicle (with an appropriate driver’s license, of course) so that they can change places from time to time to avoid drowsy driving.

Also, always check up on the driver and make sure he is comfortable. Make sure he does not feel sleepy and keep him entertained. Nevertheless, do not distract him while he is driving. Tell him not to shy away from taking power naps in between trips if he needs to. Stop the car at intervals and give the driver a chance to nap or drink a nice warm cup of coffee.

3) Always Have A First Aid Kit On Hand

Accidents happen, it is one of the harsh truths in life. While you never know when accidents may happen, it is always a good idea to be prepared. Whether it’s an 4-hour drive or a 16-hour trip, having a first aid kit handy is strongly recommended.

A well-stocked first aid kit should have a couple of bandages, antibiotic ointment packets, antiseptic wipes, non-latex gloves, gauze roll bandage, sterile gauze pads, non-mercury/non-glass oral thermometer, and alcohol. The Red Cross also lists 2 packets of aspirin (81 mg each) as another first kit must-have. Feel free to add basic over-the-counter medicines in there like Imodium (for diarrhea), age appropriate cough drops, cough suppressant or expectorant, and most importantly pain and fever medicine.

How To Make Your Eyes Pop This Summer

We all know the dangers of the sunshine in the summer months, and we all know that wearing protective eye wear is essential to fight against the harsh rays. They are also the way to stop yourself from getting new wrinkles by squinting all the time!

With constant squinting, your eyes can look tired and be a total giveaway that you’re not wearing the right eye protection! However, there are so many ways that you can brighten your eyes and reduce the wrinkles appearing. You want your eyes looking healthy and bright all year, including the summer where you’re likely to take more selfies with your friends by the pool. Let’s take a look at some of the ways that you can ensure your eyes are whiter, brighter and healthier this year.

White Eyeliner

The fastest and easiest way to brighten up your eyes is with white eyeliner. The eyeliner gives the whites of your eyes the illusion they have brightened up – even when they haven’t. There are plenty of eyeliner options on the market, but the MAC Fascinating one is perfect.

Wrinkle Reduction

It may sound like something you would never do, but eyelid surgery is a surefire way of reducing the look of those wrinkles from squinting at the sunshine. You can reduce puffiness and change the way that your eye shape sits – in a good way.

Shape Your Brows

Believe it or not, the shape of your eyebrows can change how bright your eyes look. They will frame your eyes and give you a more sophisticated look at the same time. Tidy brows make for tidy eyes; don’t forget that.

Realize Your Color Potential

Playing with different eye shadow colors can make a difference to the brightness of your eyes. Blue eyes go so well with a rust color, where brown and hazel eyes pop with bronze and gold. Once you work with the colors that will make your eyes stand out, you can really see the difference and feel so confident on the beach.

Moisturize

You may be moisturizing your face every day, but the skin around your eyes is thinner than the rest. You need to ensure that the moisturizer that you use here has a high SPF so that you don’t burn in the sunshine.

Sunglasses

We’ve mentioned this already, but you should remember that sunglasses will stop the skin around your eyes from aging prematurely. Not only that, but you’ll be able to see in the sun without squinting hard and looking too tired!

Avoid Chlorine

You should 100% go swimming this summer, but you should also choose to wear goggles if you’re swimming for exercise. You could react to the chlorine and find your eyes bloodshot and sore when you get out again. Instead, use goggles and ensure that you look after your eyes the best way that you can while you’re away.

Bright eyes for summer? Totally achievable in so many ways. Embrace them and be careful with your sight.

Common Skin Complaints and What to do About Them

blemished skin

Common Skin Complaints and What to do About Them

Our skin is our largest organ- not to mention it’s the thing people see first when they’re speaking to you. Unlike hair that you can just shove a hat on if it’s acting up, your face is different, which is why our skin is so highly linked to our self esteem. Most of us have some form of skin issue or another, but if yours is effecting your life it’s time to do something about it. Here are some common skin complaints and what to do about them.

Acne

If your acne has been going on for a while and isn’t resolving (or is getting worse) the best thing you can do is visit the doctor instead of trying to treat it at home. Often, acne is a hormonal issue and needs more than just celebrity endorsed skincare and strange home remedies. In fact, these can make it worse. A doctor will be able to either help you directly or refer you to a dermatologist, but either way it’s about getting to the cause of the problem rather than just treating the spots which are a symptom. Acne can be painful, embarrassing and destroy self confidence. Don’t just suffer with it, take action and give your GP a call.

Blackheads

Blackheads appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are called blackheads because the surface looks dark or black, as the sebum oxidizes with the air causing the dark appearance. They’re often found on the nose and can be unsightly and troublesome as they tend to keep reappearing. There are products that can help, charcoal derived from coconut shells is a great detoxifier and can help to remove these impurities from your pores. Face masks and pore strips are also good at getting rid of blackheads.

Dry skin

Dry skin feels uncomfortable and can flake off meaning it looks unpleasant. Makeup and fake tan won’t sit well over it, and in a bid to make yourself look better you can actually end up looking worse! Start by nourishing your body from the inside out, make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables. Gentle exfoliation will remove the existing dry and dead skin, and allow any moisturizer you put on underneath to work much more effectively. If it’s summertime and you skin is dry, make sure you’re protecting it properly from the sun. Use SPF and a hat to shade your face, and stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day.

Redness

Unless the redness is caused by a medical issue like rosacea or flushing due to temperature changes (common in menopausal women) then redness is likely just to be how your skin is. Some people just have more red undertones than others, but if you hate your rosy cheeks there’s no need to fret. Use a green based concealer which works by colour balancing and neutralizing the red and pink shades. If you find a good foundation with enough coverage, this alone could do the trick.

MODELHUNT, Errol Isip is the man behind the idea

MODELHUNT.com

The 2019 spring runways were the most diverse ever. The last New York Fashion Week opened with all plus-size models. And Madeline Stuart, the world’s first model with Down Syndrome, has been gracing the runways in New York and Europe since 2015. But does the industry need to be even more inclusive? Does it need to fully celebrate the infinite form of human beauty? We think YES!

MODELHUNT

That’s the vision behind the already much talked about MODELHUNT, the world’s most diverse model search taking place in Los Angeles, CA. in July. So why is everyone already buzzing about the event? It’s designed to break barriers and set new beauty standards while launching new modeling careers and inspiring the acceptance of one’s flaws and uniqueness.

Errol Isip is the man behind the idea. His nearly two decades in the fashion and events production world has taken him around the globe. In 2001, he became one of the Philippines’ youngest talent managers. He later moved to Dubai where he spent 12 years organizing and managing events for the biggest fashion luxury brands like Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, and Stella McCartney, and jewelry brands like Bvlgari, Boucheron, and Pomellato just to a name a few. After moving to Los Angeles, he started his own fashion events firm and is currently the Casting Director and overall Choreographer for Los Angeles Fashion Week.

It wasn’t until recently that the modeling world began to make major strides in diversity. But still, Isip says the industry still has a ways to go in terms of fully embracing diversity.

MODELHUNT is his latest contribution to the movement, as it is a model competition like no other. Instead of just seeking “standard models,” they seek to find models in a wide range of categories representing different ages, genders, heights, sizes, looks and abilities.

Aspiring and professional models can submit their application and photos online at www.modelhunt.net. Following submission, they will be called in for a live screening and the top candidates for each category will be chosen to go through extensive training, mentoring, photo shoots, social media promotions and compete in the finals happening in July. This is where they’ll model in a fashion show in front of top talent agents and launch their new careers!

ModelHunt Categories:

Petite – Men 5’9 below Women 5’7 below 18+ yrs
Mainstream – Men 5’10 above Women 5’8 above 18+ yrs
Edgy – Men and Women with tattoo, piercings 18+ yrs
Mature – Men and Women 50+ yrs
