Here are some jewelry ideas according to generations!

Jewelry is a fashion accessory that has its admirers ranging from little girls to aged women and even men. Be it the little girls who just started to wear their mom’s jewelry or the aged woman who is trying to flaunt her elegant beauty or even the man who is wearing a ring or maybe a cool bracelet, everybody loves wearing jewelry. You will not find a rule book that says who should wear what jewelry, but it is rather something that we learn as we go. With our increasing age, we become more mature, and thereby there is a change in our personality too which in turn affects our perception towards different styles of jewelry.

Here are some jewelry ideas :

  • When you are just starting your career: The 20s, it’s the most important age for anybody who is looking to start a bright and good career. This is also the age range where we find our passion. This is not the age where we wear big diamond necklaces or heavy gold jewelry, rather it’s an age of wearing light-weight fashion pieces of jewelry or maybe a stud earring with a simple necklace. 

Since most of us who are at this age always need to be moving, whether it’s for job purposes or college, it’s preferable to wear light jewelry. 

Amethyst bracelets are a good choice to get started with since they’re simple, versatile, and affordable. In this age range accessorizing forms the most important part of dressing up. It is an age to go with the latest fashion trends. Wearing a beautiful purple amethyst bracelet will not only enhance your look but will give you the confidence that yes you can do it too! Such is the charm of an amethyst. It can clear your mind of any negative thoughts and give a boost to your morale. If you want a more sophisticated look, you can try pairing them with American diamonds. The purple color of amethyst along with the sparkling white color of diamonds will surely attract some attention towards yourself(for the right reasons) but it will also be subtle at the same time. American diamonds are relatively affordable and hence this type of setting will be within your budget too.

  • Racing 30s: The 30s is an age by which time we are in a settled career position or field. It is an age where we have to look our professional best. Diamonds are a good choice, so is a lapis lazuli necklace. Lapis lazuli is a mesmerizing stone with various healing properties. The best way to wear a lapis lazuli necklace is to pair it with either a gold or silver chain. This is because a small lapis lazuli stone is normally more polished than a large one. So the small stone along with the radiance of a gold chain or a cool silver chain will look more attractive. 

A lapis lazuli necklace has a heavy-looking stance, so you gotta plan and balance it out by wearing loose-fitting outfits or maybe a smaller size stone. If you are targeting a party or small office gatherings, then pairing a lapis lazuli with pearls or diamonds might be a good idea. Also, another obvious thing which you need to keep in mind is that since the lapis lazuli is deep blue, you should avoid anything in a bluish tone to avoid diluting your overall look.

  • The Middle Ground Forties: The 40s are an age where we reach a certain level in life. Most of us have already found our calling and have struck a balance. Diamonds are the best choice in this age range. A beautiful White diamond necklace along with a stylish outfit can throw you in the spotlight at a party more easily than any other necklace. It is an age when you can show off to the world your achievements and success. A diamond necklace will help you proclaim the crown and show to others that after working hard in your 20s, making solid commitments in your 30s, you finally reached your 40s and are now enjoying your life. There are many different types of diamonds and their color and texture vary according to the regions they were mined. 
  • American diamonds are the most cost-effective ones while the South African ones are the costliest. Choose according to what your budget permits you. Also if you fancy a diamond that has a different color than white, say pink, that to is available. Australian diamonds are mainly found with a pinkish hue. You can try to mix and match along with different outfits to find your unique style.

Caring for a Loved One with Dementia: 5 Tips for Reducing Sundowning

Sundowning is a symptom associated with dementia. Otherwise known as ‘late-day confusion’, if you’re caring for a loved one with the disease, you may find they become more confused and agitated during the late afternoon and evening. On the other hand, their symptoms may not be as prominent in the morning and daytime.

Once your loved one reaches mid to advance staged dementia, they’re likely to experience sundowning. Here are some tips you can take on board that can reduce sundowning, which will be beneficial for all parties.

Keep to a Routine

If your loved one is living with dementia, they may find it hard to create and remember new routines. Should your loved one react with confusion, stress, or anger when in unfamiliar places, sundowning can be the reason behind it. If possible, try and keep things exactly the same each day. This will be beneficial for the both of you.

Promote Activity

Many individuals who experience sundowning syndrome find it difficult to sleep during the night. One of the common triggers of sundowning is tiredness and fatigue. As you can imagine, this creates a vicious cycle. To help your loved one get a good night’s rest, try to to promote physical activity during the day. Of course, the level of exercise they do will depend on their stage of dementia. If in any doubt, speak to their doctor about what activity your loved one can do. 

Alter Their Eating Patterns

Making minor changes to your loved one’s eating pattern can be a big help, especially in reducing sundown syndrome symptoms. If your loved one has a large meal, this can enhance their agitation, meaning they may find it difficult to sleep. It’s advised you encourage your loved one to avoid caffeine or alcohol too, as these stimulants can do more harm than good when it comes to sleep quality. 

Minimize Stress

When late afternoon arrives, you need to help your loved one stay relaxed and calm. One way to do this is by encouraging them to stick to easy activities that are not too challenging. If your loved one has trouble with an activity, their stress levels can rise which will only add to their irritability and confusion. You may find playing soothing music can help your loved one relax and unwind. Also, ensure they’re in a peaceful and relaxing environment. 

Track Their Behavior

Although sundowning syndrome is common for those living with dementia, each person will have different triggers. This means you’ll need to examine your loved one’s behavior so you can be on the lookout for what sparks symptoms. To help, you can download an app on your smartphone to monitor their behavior, environments, and daily activities, or write in a journal.

While the causes of sundowning are not fully understood, there are steps you can take which can help your loved one feel less anxious and distressed. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate in seeking medical advice.

Tips to Live with a Baby in a Small Space

Living in a small space is already challenging as it is. It is even more complicated if you have a baby. Nobody likes to be in such a situation, but it happens anyway, even to those who think they have got it all figured out. Between the baby cot, the tiny clothes, swings, strollers, toys, and all the other things you have to fit into the baby’s room, all of a sudden, a spacious room can turn into a very tiny space.

We all know that babyhood is a critical stage in every child’s life. So, as a parent, you want to give your bundle of joy as much comfort as you possibly can.

The question is, how can you do that in a small space? Most people believe that this is an impossible task, but in reality, it is not. There are plenty of ways to manage your small space to accommodate the rest of your family and the baby.

In this article, you will discover a few of them.

  • Pack all the clothes, toys, Gear, and Everything else that the baby Does not Need Yet

Indeed, babies grow so fast. So, it makes a lot of sense to accumulate stuff that your little one isn’t ready for yet. But for the moment, you do not need to access those items.

To save more space, keep just what the baby needs right now and store the rest away. Under the bed boxes, closets, and high shelves are great places to keep items you do not need. And because sooner or later you will need those items, make sure you sort and label them to make it easy to locate them when the time comes.

  • Make Good Use of Your Vertical Space

When babies start to crawl and walk is when trouble begins. They move in every direction and pick everything in their way, put it in their mouth, or throw it around. That is very risky and can cause serious injury to your child.

The first thing you want as a parent is to protect your child. The second thing is to create enough space in your home. Using your vertical space to store some of your items is a perfect way to achieve both of those things.

For instance;

  • You can store your knives on a magnetic strip instead of keeping them on the counter,
  • You can hang your pans on the wall instead of keeping them in a drawer
  • You can use the floor to ceiling bookshelves to store your books; alternatively, you can install picture rails
  • If you have bicycles, you can mount them on the wall, and so on
  • Use Every Inch of Your Space

There are always these spaces in your home that you cant fit any furniture. Well, these spaces are beneficial for something too. You can use them to store stuff you rarely use, like warm blankets that you only need during winter.

In short, make sure you use every space in your room.

  • Baskets All the Way

Baskets are amazing. They are nice-looking, portable, and above all, easy to throw and pick stuff. You need to have them in every room. You can use baskets for just about anything from diaper supplies, books, toys, clothes, you name it. They are perfect for easy cleanup.

  • Choose Long-lasting, Good-looking Multipurpose Gear

Instead of having two or three strollers that will serve different needs, try to look for one that can serve multiple purposes. A high chair that your baby can use through their childhood and beyond is far much better than something you will need to replace in a year or two.

When choosing gear, you have to be extra cautious not to buy something that you will need to replace sooner rather than later (like in a year or two). Such stuff can fill up your home and take over your space within a blink of an eye; by all means, avoid them.

Conclusion

Babies are a blessing; there is no doubt about that. But they come with their own set of demands which can sometimes be very frustrating to fulfill. It is more frustrating if you live in a small space and have no clue how to deal with the whole situation.

Thanks to this article, now you have a few ideas to live in a small space with your baby.
