Hot Tips on Getting Your Bridal Jewelry Selection Just Right

 

wedding

The typical Indian wedding can be (and usually is) an extremely elaborate affair. Right from the multiple ceremonies to the guest list, the wedding feast, the bridal trousseau, and even the honeymoon, the list of preparation to be made and executed right can be mindboggling. From the bride’s point of view the planning and shopping for the bridal jewelry is extremely important as all eyes would be on her when she makes her entrance at the grand nuptial ceremony. Some hot tips on proper jewelry selection:

Give Yourself Plenty of Time

Unless you are getting married in a real hurry, you should give yourself at least six months of time to do all the planning, especially your trousseau and jewelry. Aim to be completely ready with everything at least three week before the big day so that in case you have a last minute change, you can still go ahead and execute it without tearing your hair off. If you are as picky as most girls are, start visiting your favorite jewelry shops well in time to acquaint yourself with the latest trends. It can also be a very good idea to visit the many online jewelry stores that stock some really amazing bridal jewelry.

Shop for Your Wedding Couture First

Even though your bridal jewelry will end up costing many times more than your wedding dress and also last much longer, you need to realize that at the end of the day, the jewelry is an accessory that needs to be paired with the apparel to create the right effect. Hence, you need to make up your mind regarding your bridal look and make the necessary purchase of your wedding saree, lehenga or whatever it is that you wish to get married in. Since there will be a number of functions, you need to plan out your dresses accordingly, which will in turn dictate the need for appropriate jewelry.

How to Shop for the Best Diamond Bangle Design

To start off with you need to allocate a certain budget for purchasing jewelry. The amount will vary according to your means but you also need to keep in mind whether you will be inheriting jewelry from your family as that can save you quite a lot of money as there is no need of replicating the heirlooms with fresh pieces of jewelry. If you are going to purchase the ornaments from the high-street stores be sure to only visit the well-reputed ones, especially those that you or your family have frequented earlier. Make it a point to arm yourself with a photograph of the dress or a fabric swatch so that you can refer to it to make sure that your choice complements the outfit. Also have handy the ideal length of the necklace, wrist and waist circumference, etc. so that you can be sure that the items will be proportionate.

Alternatively, you can trawl the Internet to see if there are any fine jewelry pieces that you may like. Shopping on the net also allows you the flexibility of purchasing from the best of high street jewelry stores in the country as well as from specialist online stores such as Candere.com that will offer the most happening and trendy styles, especially in necklace and diamond bangle design. When choosing bridal jewelry it is best to select pieces that will not only look stunning on the big day but can be used on many occasions thereafter. Rather than picking out very heavy pieces, try to look out for interchangeable pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a versatile look on both upcoming formal and casual occasions. Almost all girls tend to have a struggle with family elders regarding the styling. To avoid arguments it can be a very good idea to pick out some items that are modern recreations of the old and classical styles that never die out.

Don’t have time for a hair appointment? Relax and Touchback

unnamed-2

For some reason, whenever I make a hair coloring appointment (months in advance), something always happens that it needs to be postponed. OK, one week I can handle, maybe two weeks but my grays won’t wait. Thanks to TouchBack Instant Temporary Color, I can relax. TouchBack has a line of temporary hair colors that really get the job done. I have used TouchBack Plus Non Stop Color System and Touchback Markers in the past and got the same fantastic results using TouchBack Instant Temporary Color Depositing Shampoo and Depositing Conditioner. I found TouchBack at CVS, the Shampoo and Conditioner are reasonably priced at $19.95 for the set.

This TouchBack System is easy to use, simply apply the shampoo, Leave on for a few minutes and rinse off. Next, apply the conditioner, leave on a few minutes and rinse off. You will notice absolutely no smells and is formulated without using harsh chemicals like ammonia, sulfates or peroxide. TouchBack Instant Temporary Color gives your gray a boost of color, just enough for the grays to fade away. You will notice your hair shiny and soft. The color will last through 3 shampoos which for me, will be enough time to get my permanent color done.  You can use TouchBack on chemically treated or natural hair. You won’t be disappointed with TouchBack, you will be able to relax once your grays have faded away, at least temporarily.

From the PROS: Do you know what’s in your toothpaste? Why you should!

7c8e18_28b5950e66fa58289c06bad11a20e83c

COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA– (January 18, 2016) – Each year, consumers spend around $20 billion on cosmetic and personal care items, with many of those purchases going to oral hygiene products. After all, we are a nation of people who strive to brush our teeth at least twice per day, floss daily, and use mouthwash. What we use to do this task is often something we don’t give a lot of thought to, but it can actually make a big difference when it comes down to the ingredients in the products.

“There are so many choices today that people often don’t know what to look for,” explains Dr. Bruno Sharp, a fourth-generation dentist who created a line of natural oral care products called Dr. Sharp Dentistry. “Plus, manufacturers can be clever in making it look like their products are a great choice, when really they contain harmful chemicals. The best way for consumers to keep them and their family healthy is to learn all they can so they can make informed choices when choosing products.”

Many toothpaste brands contain ingredients that may be health hazards or go against consumer values. When looking at the ingredients list and overall product, there are some things people should be aware of, including:

Most people have been led to believe that fluoride is a good thing to be in oral hygiene products, yet fluoride consumption has been linked to such health issues as hypothyroidism. To learn more about these adverse effects, visit www.fluoride-free.com.
Artificial colors and flavors. Many toothpastes that are created for children contain artificial colors and flavors in an effort to get them more interested in using the products. These artificial colors and flavors are not healthy for the children to use.
Non-BPA free bottles and tubes. There has been a lot of news regarding the health problems that may be associated with plastic that is made with the BPA chemical. Consumers are better off opting for a product that does not have BPA in the packaging.
Harmful ingredients. There are some ingredients that are used in some toothpastes that should be avoided, including sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens, alcohol, triclosan, DEA, gluten, and propylene glycol. Plus, some toothpastes use genetically modified ingredients, so it’s best to look for one that is non-GMO.
Products that are not cruelty free. Most consumers are not aware of the fact that many of the oral hygiene products they are purchasing have been involved in animal cruelty, such as animal testing, or may contain animal-based ingredients. The good news, is that there are products on the market that are PETA certified cruelty free and vegan, so they do not contain any animal products at all.
“Brushing our teeth is something we do daily throughout our lives, so we have to get the products right,” added Dr. Sharp. “If we choose natural products that are safe, we will be helping to protect our health. It just comes down to knowing what to look for and what to avoid.”

Dr. Sharp created a line of oral hygiene products to give people a healthier alternative. His product line includes wild berry kids toothpaste, fresh mint with green tea adult toothpaste, fresh mint mouthwash, and dental tape. All products are safe to use, and are gluten free, have no artificial colors or flavors, are vegan, non-GMO, alcohol free, fluoride free, and cruelty free. Plus, they help whiten teeth and have xylitol, which is a natural sweetener that also helps to fight off cavities. The products are safe for the entire family. The products will be showcased at the Natural Products Expo West in March 2016, in the “hot products” section.

Top Hairstyles for Every Hair Length That You Can Try Today

unnamed

A good hairstyle complements your dressing and boosts your confidence. Fashion is from head to toe and hair is a very significant part of it. Finding a hair stylist who can get your hair to look just the way you want it (or saw it online) can be quite difficult. If you have asked yourself “how can I find hair salons near me?” then the hair salon directory is what you are looking for. If you are looking for inspiration for your next haircut, the following are the top hairstyles for the three hair-lengths; short, medium and long.

Short hair

There is often the notion that short hair has limited styles. Contrary to this, there are so many things you can do with short hair like coloring it, curling it or adding in extensions. The three most popular hairstyles for short hair include:

– Camren Bicondova, a young American actress, is the ambassador of short curly hair.This look is great if you want to maintain a young and fun look. You may need a bit of mousse and hairspray if your hair is not naturally curly.

– Jaime Pressly has been rocking it short and straight and killing it. The back of this cut is usually tapered close to the scalp and can be worn with bangs or a side part. Sleek and shiny with bold color looks great with this cut.

-Short hair can also be wavy with a tapered cut that is short and shaved close to the scalp at the back and longer at the front. This style has a variety of cuts, quite popular with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Jenifer Hudson.

Medium length hair

Medium length here is also popular today, especially with the short messy bob. The term ‘messy’ is used quite loosely as there is a lot of effort that goes into making it look as good as it does. From Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce and even tailor swift, the messy mane has
been worn in various ways to create a chic and trendy look that works for any occasion. You can add a twist to this look with highlights or two-toned color. Flamingo pink and blond has been one of the best combinations so far as worn by Katy Perry.

Long Hair

It is hard to go wrong with long hair if you choose between one of the three acceptable ways to wear it: curly, wavy or straight. The choice of curls, waves or straight hair often depends with the shape of your face. Nice and neat waves look great on long hair, so if you are going to curl it make sure they are tight and neat. If you have a messy mane, you can
tame the frays in a side or back fishtail, tie it up in a messy bun or style it up in the classic French twist for a dressy event. Straight long hair can be tricky if you do not know how to wear it right. A slick bun is one of the trendiest ways of wearing straight hair.

Bio

Brenda Hynes is a fashion stylist who has worked with celebrities before. You need to find the right stylist to help you achieve your ideal look. You can use the hair salon directory to find great hair salons near you.
