Spring Is Here With NOGU

Spring is here! A lead designer at trending jewelry brand NOGU, gave It’s a Glam Thing some info on what’s trending. These tips are perfect as people are looking to freshen up their style for spring or looking to buy gifts for graduation, Easter, Mother’s Day or any spring occasion!

Coral, coral and more coral: Some folks are afraid to wear bright clothing, so a great way to wear Pantone’s Color of the Year is to accessorize with coral bracelets and necklaces. This look is fresh, bright and on trend.

Gifts that give back: Find a bracelet that signifies a charity or cause you or the recipient is passionate about! For example, NOGU offers collections that benefit charities like Heart & Stroke, the ASPCA, and one of my favorites – The Sea Turtle Conservancy – we’ve already raised $10,000 for this organization with a great line of jewelry featuring sea turtles.

Layers aren’t just for haircuts: Layering jewelry whether it be rings, bracelets or necklaces, remains a hot trend this spring. In most cases, the more the merrier when it comes to how you can stack jewelry.

Literally anything mermaid: Mermaids are hot this year – we’re still hoping fans are right and that Taylor Swift’s new album is all things mermaid. Either way, a great gift is NOGU’s trending mermaid glass collection — made with beads that look like they’re glowing. Like magic!

With the insight that nearly half of Americans do not recycle their beauty and personal care products, accounting for 1/3 of all landfill waste, Garnier has been working with TerraCycle since 2011 to educate people on how to recycle responsibly.  Since the partnership inception, the brand has diverted over 11.7 million empties from landfills, providing a comprehensive solution to personal care and beauty packaging waste with its free recycling program for hair care, skin care, and cosmetic product empties. These empties have been upcycled into materials such as raised garden beds, benches, and picnic tables to build 13 parks, gardens and community spaces nationwide.  To kickoff the Greenhouse Tour, Garnier built a garden at the University of Miami on March 17, and will help beautify a garden in New York City in recognition of Earth Day on April 22.  The Greenhouse Tour is another opportunity to encourage reducing personal waste, as guests are invited to bring their beauty empties to the designated TerraCycle bin at the Garnier Greenhouse for recycling.

Ways to Determine What Mouthwash You Need

如何選對適合的漱口水

漱口水有自己的特定功能和優點。目前市場上出售的漱口水五花八門,很難選擇哪種最適合您。在選擇正確的漱口水時,最好的考量是考慮您目前的口腔保健需求。

以下是選擇漱口水產品以滿足您口腔衛生需求的指南:

1.美白牙齒

很多人對牙齒都有同樣的憂慮,就是擔心牙齒會變黃; 雖然不少人的牙齒天生就有點天然黃色,但牙齒變色主要是由於牙齒衛生不良而造成的,例如沒有每天刷牙、表面污漬也會導致牙齒變色,特別是在食用高度色素的食物時,如咖啡,漿果,紅酒,番茄醬和薑黃等黃色香料。隨著時間的增長,吸煙也會導致牙齒表面出現污漬。

為了防止和控制由於表面染色引起的牙齒變色,您可以嘗試使用美白漱口水來幫助去除牙齒表面污漬並密封牙齒琺瑯質,防止未來的牙齒出現染色變色的情況。

2.清新口氣

口臭是一種令人尷尬的經歷,您可以通過適當的飲食和口腔衛生來緩解。口臭主要是由口腔中的細菌積聚引起的。通常它是由吃洋蔥和大蒜等刺激性食物以及某些疾病如胃酸倒流而引起的。為防止口臭,您可以從飲食中減少進食辛辣和酸性食物。但是,如果您的口臭是由口腔細菌引起的,您應該使用含有氟化物的治療性漱口水來提升您的口腔衛生,以消除因細菌導致的口臭問題。保持口腔清潔更可以讓您的口氣保持更長時間的清新。

3.預防牙齦炎

牙齦炎是由牙垢積聚引起的常見口腔健康問題,通常是由於口​​腔衛生太差而引發。牙垢是一種在牙齦周圍形成的堅硬物質,使牙齦腫脹並引起牙齦疼痛。當牙齦周圍粘稠的細菌膜(稱為斑塊)漸形成牙垢後,牙菌斑會積聚在牙齦之間; 這是因為日常刷牙和使用牙線不足以到達牙齦之間的空間。雖然牙垢只能由牙醫去除,但您亦可以通過維持日常口腔護理程序來防止牙菌斑積聚,強烈建議您使用抗菌漱口水。

4.舒緩乾燥的嘴巴

口乾是一種不舒服的體驗,口乾正正因為你的嘴巴沒有產生足夠的唾液、或者由其他因素引起,例如脫水,感冒或流感,吸煙或藥物的副作用。長期口乾會使您易患口腔潰瘍,導致吞嚥,咀嚼和說話困難。

雖然您應該先諮詢您的牙醫以確定口乾的根本原因,但使用不含酒精的漱口水可以幫助舒緩您的口乾,既可以殺死細菌,又不會產生酒精和灼熱感覺。

5.孩子們的漱口水

為兒童選擇合適的漱口水可能很困難,因為儘管他們可能與成人有相同的口腔保健需求,但大多數可用的漱口水並不適合兒童。為您的孩子購買漱口水時,請注意漱口水的酒精含量以及其安全預防措施,並確保漱口後用清水正確沖洗。總結

選擇適合您特定口腔保健需求的漱口水產品時,您可以根據自己的特殊需要使用特殊的漱口水。如果您在為自己選擇合適的產品時需要更多幫助,請務必諮詢您的牙醫以獲取進一步的建議。

Ways to Determine What Mouthwash You Need

Mouthwashes come with their own list of features and benefits. With dozens of different mouthwash variants sold in the market today, it can be difficult to choose which one is the best for you. In selecting the right Mouthwash, the best place to start is considering your current oral health care needs.

Here’s a guide in selecting mouthwash products to suit your oral hygiene needs:

  1. Whitens Teeth

Many people are concerned about stained and discolored teeth. Although many people are born with naturally yellowish teeth, teeth discoloration is mainly caused by poor dental hygiene, such as not brushing one’s teeth daily. Surface stains also cause teeth discoloration, especially when eating highly pigmented foods like coffee, berries, red wine, tomato sauce, and yellow spices like turmeric. Smoking also contributes to surface stains over time.

To prevent and control teeth discoloration due to surface staining, you can try using a whitening mouthwash to help remove surface stains and seal your teeth enamel from future stain discoloration.

  1. Freshens Breath

Having bad breath is an embarrassing experience that can be mitigated with proper diet and oral hygiene. Bad breath, or halitosis, is mainly caused by germs and bacterial build up in the mouth. Oftentimes, it is temporarily caused by eating pungent foods like onion and garlic, and some medical conditions such as acid reflux.

To prevent bad breath, you may cut out pungent and acid forming foods from your diet. However, if your halitosis is caused by oral bacteria, you should upgrade your dental hygiene by using a therapeutic mouthwash containing fluoride to kill bad breath causing germs and bacteria. Keeping a clean mouth keeps your breath fresher for longer.

  1. Prevents Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a common oral health issue caused by tartar build up, often due to poor oral hygiene. Tartar is a hard substance that forms around the gums, making the gums swollen and causing gum pain. Tartar is formed when sticky bacterial films called plaques compact around the gums, and this happens because ordinary brushing and flossing cannot reach the spaces in between the gums, where plaque builds up. Although tartar can only be removed by a dentist, you can prevent plaque build up by maintaining a daily oral care routine, and using an antibacterial mouthwash is highly recommended.

  1. Soothes Dry Mouth

A dry mouth is an uncomfortable experience that happens when your mouth does not produce enough saliva and may be caused by many factors, such as dehydration, catching a cold or flu, smoking, or as a side effect of medications. Having a chronically dry mouth can make you susceptible to mouth sores and can cause difficulty in swallowing, chewing, and speaking.

Although you should check first with your dentist to identify the root cause of your dry mouth, using an alcohol-free mouthwash may help soothe your dry mouth, by killing off germs and bacteria without the burning and drying sensation that comes along with alcohol-based mouthwashes.

  1. Children’s Mouthwash

Choosing the right mouthwash for children can be difficult because although they might have the same oral health care needs with adults, most available mouthwashes are not suitable or children. When buying a mouthwash for your child, always take safety precautions with the alcohol content and ensure proper rinsing.

Conclusion

Choose the right mouthwash products that target your specific oral health care needs. If you need more help in selecting the right product for you, make sure to consult with your dentist for further recommendations. There’s a special mouthwash that you can use for your specific need.

5 Ways Fashion is More Than Just Clothes

When you hear the word ‘fashion,’ what comes to mind? Likely, you think about the latest clothing trends: whether flare jeans are making a comeback or if you really can’t wear white after Labor Day. While fashion certainly involves clothes, it is so much more than what’s in our closets. In fact, an essential part of fashion comes from skincare, beauty, and makeup products. By encompassing all components, you can ensure that you’re at the top of what it truly means to be fashion-forward. 

Skin Care

The first step in creating a trend-worthy look is starting with healthy, radiant skin. It’s incredibly important to recognize that everyone’s skin is different and will, therefore, require a skin care regimen that perfectly suits their individual needs. No two faces are the same and the same goes for skin care. For all things skin care related, be sure to check out the women behind Face Flawless Skin. When it comes to toners, cleansers, sunscreen, and everything in between, this blog has you covered. 

If you enjoy keeping up with the latest skin care trends, you’ve likely heard of the Korean Beauty craze. For those who haven’t heard, Korean skin care products are flooding the shelves of department stores and specialized beauty shops, and for good reason. Countless women agree that the products work wonders. To learn more about how Korean skin care products may be the next addition to your skin care regimen, check out Peach & Lily, a blog that goes above and beyond when it comes to Korean beauty. 

Makeup

The next step in embracing your own personalized fashion is incorporating makeup. Whether your look requires a full face of glam or a more subtle glow, no outfit is complete without the perfect makeup. However, choosing the right makeup can be easier said than done. If quality is everything, than consider using Amway’s Artistry Studio 3-in-1 Brow Shaper. The gel-cream formula and built-in brush not only make it simple to use, but also easy to customize. 

Fashionistas who fall in love with Amway’s beauty products even have the opportunity to make a little extra money by selling their favorite makeup. Spreading the love of makeup while making money with Amway is something we can all get behind. 

Hair Products  

Another crucial part of fashion is how you choose to style your hair. Choosing the appropriate shampoo and conditioner is the first step. For instance, hair that has been colored will require a different product that hair lacking volume. That’s why companies like Chi make specialized shampoos and conditioners that are formulated for exactly what your hair needs. When it comes to hair products, one size does not fit all.

Next, by using tools like BaBylissPro’s 3/4″ Spring Curling Iron, fashionistas can take their look from day-to-night simply by changing up their hair. Finally, texturing wax, mousse, and spray can secure your look and help effortlessly pull your entire style together. 

Body Care 

When we talk about our skin, we must consider all of our skin, not just our faces. Healthy, moisturized skin gives individuals more freedom to express themselves fully without the fear of covering up their insecurities. When it comes to glowing skin, beauty blogger Samantha Wennerstrom knows the secret. Luckily for us, she shares it on her blog for everyone to benefit from.

Experts agree that healthy skin often starts from the inside out. For most, that means being hyper-aware of how different food affects your body and, therefore, your skin. Taking care of the inside of your body will prove to have wonderful benefits for the outside of your body. 

Confidence 

Perhaps the greatest way to truly embrace your fashion sense is through your confidence in doing so. With this beautiful mindset, you can be one step closer to fully embodying what it means to be fashion-forward.

Fashion: More Than Clothes 

When it comes to fashion, look beyond your closet. Look to brilliant, clear skin. Look to bold eyeshadow palettes. Look to fierce hairstyles. Embrace your body. Feel your style from the inside out.
