Piggy Paint is a safe non-toxic nail polish for kids

 

Piggy Paint is a safe, non-toxic nail polish that puts a rainbow of colors at the fingertips while giving parents the peace-of-mind they need. Perfect for a girls’ night for mommy and kids!! This advanced water-based formula delivers all the thrills of a “big girl” mani-pedi without the harsh solvents and their dizzying fumes. Plus, it’s non-flammable, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, vegan, and proudly made in the U.S.A.

The brand was developed by Melanie Hurley, a mom of two manicure-loving daughters who hated the thought of so many chemicals in contact with their fingers. The result is a candy store selection of hues ranging from flowery pastels to playful brights, all made from natural ingredients. Special effects include shimmer, glow-in-the-dark, and there are even new, deliciously scented formulas.

Today, Piggy Paint comes in more than 40 fun and whimsically named individual shades and multiple gift box assortments, all available on Amazon and piggypaint.com.  Prices range from $7.99 for a .5 oz bottle to $22.50 (gift set).  In addition, Hurley has just debuted a special collection in selected Target stores, with .33 oz bottles on offer for just $4.99 each and special boxed four mini-polish collections for $7.99.

La Vie Boheme: A Visual Take on Leather Handbags

Leather handbags maintain a reputation for being sturdy and stylish at the same time. In this era, the real feeling of a bohemian lifestyle is coveted by different generations. What better way to live that lifestyle than by purchasing leather handbags? Whether people are going to work or having a night out in the bustling city, bags made from authentic leather make a solid statement of professionalism and style.

The numerous yet exclusive designs of leather bags cater to different people. Finding one’s uniqueness through signature styles and functionality of a handbag and purse now comes easy. The extensive range includes fringes and tassels hanging in the exterior of a bag, embroidery expertly inlaid on the material, fabrics from different parts of the world combined to make exotic patterns, and durable hand-tooled leather. Every piece stands out, creating a one-of-a-kind leather bag for every person in the world.

How are leather handbags made?

Experts ethically produce these items to provide eco-friendly and beautifully made handbags and purses. Sustainability is another aim for these products, and thus, they are made durable to endure years of use in any environment. All leathers are a bi-product of the food industry, meaning the material is not made out of cruelty. These are carefully hand-dyed and fashioned through artisan practices. Chemicals are not used when making leather products. The vegetable tanning on the product is thanks to natural substances that bring out the warm qualities of leather. The craftsmanship stays loyal in its promise of zero cruelty and maximum style and function.

How long do leather handbags last?

With that said, no other material can withstand the passage of time, unlike leather. The quality of the material usually lasts more than five years. It remains fashionable and durable even in the years to come. The high-quality material also helps in saving money. Instead of purchasing a bag that can easily break every year, investing in leather handbags will lessen expenses because it can outlast any material. Even when placed in storage, leather is resistant to dry abrasion and collective specks of dust. The longevity of the material means less waste in the long run. 

Some leathers have different properties depending on the type of skin produced. These handbags usually retain their quality when adequately maintained; they hardly wear off in comparison to the popular synthetic leather handbags. Another remarkable aspect is its flexibility. When bringing along heavy items, wear and tear rarely occurs. Leather handbags become softer and welcome more room for essential things after long use. The texture of the material also becomes smooth after a time, making it easier to wipe off the water when caught in a sudden downpour. Its resistance to dirt is noteworthy as well since leather does not attract bugs, nor does it become a house for mold. Handbags made from leather create an environment where bacteria cannot thrive. 

A leather handbag can easily be matched with the outfit of the day. On regular days such as going to the grocery store, it still gives that chic look, or perhaps you can pair it with trendy loafers for a night out.

How Sports Chiropractic Treatments Facilitate An Active Lifestyle

It is essential to be active to stay healthy. But at times staying active is not possible if you experience pain while performing an activity. Sports chiropractors can help you increase your stamina and mobility.  It also helps to recover from the pain and improve your performance. You can avoid medications that have various side-effects. Chiropractic treatments can be a supplement for an active life that you did not know you needed. Read on to understand how sports chiropractic treatment facilitates an active life.

Improves Performance 

Everyone strives to become the best version of themselves. It can be in giving the best shot at your exercise regimen or at the gym. One way to achieve that personal best is by setting wellness goals as that helps to measure your success. But to reach the goal is not easy as most times the body does not support you. That is where routine chiropractic care can help; it can provide relief from pain, reduce the recovery time needed after workouts, reduce muscle soreness after exercise sessions, improve muscle flexibility, increase performance and boost the overall immune system. You can reach your personal best under chiropractic care. 

Keep the Body Healthy 

The spinal column consists of discs, joints, nerves, and 24 vertebrae. It protects the spinal cord and also helps the body to move, bend and twist. Due to the daily wear and tear the discs can get ruptured, the spinal columns get misaligned and the nerves can get compressed causing pains, aches or general discomfort in the body. It also impacts the nerve communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Even a healthy person whose spine is aligned and the nervous system is functioning optimally puts a lot of pressure on the tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons during exercise. Chiropractic care ensures that these crucial components are in good shape and you can continue with your regular exercise and stay fit. 

Prevent Pain from Intruding your Routine 

If your fitness routine is interrupted due to pain or injuries, a chiropractor should be the first person to consult. Chiropractic care offers much more than simple pain relief. It is a natural and holistic approach to get relief from back, neck, knee, ankle and foot pain. It also helps to relieve pain from the shoulder, wrist, arm, sciatic nerve, headaches, migraines, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Since it is all-natural you can avoid medications for pain but still be able to alleviate the symptoms. Apart from offering a holistic solution to pain relief, it is also useful to recover from injuries. With chiropractic care, there is nothing that can limit you from being active.

Chiropractors for the Latest Athletic Trends

To keep the body active there are many athletic trends. While these routines can help you look great but can potentially damage your body. Let’s take a look at some of the athletic trends, how they cause injury and the different remedies offered by chiropractors. 

Spin class

It is an intense cardio workout that can help in toning thighs and reducing the extra weight in the body. Many people in a bid to reduce those extra pounds quickly overexert themselves which can lead to injuries to the knees and quadriceps. 

Solution: If all that spinning has caused some injuries or wear and tear to your body a chiropractor can help you. Many different techniques can be used to help you recover and experts from https://www.alignmeridian.com/ suggest massage therapy to relax your muscles. In the case of overexertion, massage therapy relieves stress and also improves the mobility of the joints. 

CrossFit 

It is a high-intensity, high-impact exercise regimen that saps a lot of energy from the body. Since the regimen is so demanding it can cause wear and tear on tissue and joints, results in tennis elbow, knee pain, stiff necks or shoulder spasms. 

Solution: CrossFit takes a huge toll on your body and a chiropractor has various treatment techniques to bring relief from those muscle aches. Since the exercise routine can cause spinal misalignment due to the vigorous exercises a spinal adjustment may be required. To reduce the stress on the muscles and to promote healing Electric Simulation, the instrument-assisted technique is adopted. The soft tissues are mobilized using the instrument-assisted, Soft Tissue Mobilization technique.

Orange Theory

This is a high-intensity cardio training that is usually done for an hour. The Orange Theory routine should be done after proper stretching of the hamstrings and the pectoral muscles. But most often, people jump in without that and hence there is a high risk of injuries to the joints and tissues.  

Solution: To reduce pain, relax the muscles, reduce inflammation and to soothe the muscles your chiropractor may use Electric Stimulation, E-stim technique. Additionally, proper stretching techniques will be taught to prevent injury and soreness after workouts. 

Zumba 

This dance fitness program needs a lot of twisting and bending of the spine and the knees. When not done properly, it can result in knee, ankle or hip injuries. There is also soreness in the lower back and shoulders after the workout. 

Solution: A spinal adjustment may be recommended due to the twisting and bending of the spine. That can help in reducing pain, relieve pressure on nerves and also improves the range of motion. Other instrument-assisted techniques can be used to increase blood flow and to reduce the soreness. 

Yoga

It is a low-intensity exercise and is known for its healing powers. Improper form can lead to sprain, pull, and tear of muscles. It can also cause back and neck pain. 

Solution: Ultrasound therapy is used to treat sprains and strains to reduce pain and decrease inflammation. Massage therapy may also be included to relax the muscles. 

If you have pains and aches after workouts, you have something in common with the best athletes. They also suffer from back, neck or joint pains, while some have chosen medications, many have opted for natural preventive care. Best athletes like Micheal Jordan, Dan O’Brien, Lance Armstrong, Tom Brady, Muhammed Ali, and Barry Bonds have used Chiropractic treatments to help them in sport. Now you know what to do if you suffer from post-workout blues!

GET THE LOOK: PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS

Celebrity Hairstylist, Harry Josh, worked with Priyanka Chopra Jonas for last night’s red carpet.

Here is how to get the look…

Photo: @harryjoshhair

HARRY’S INSPIRATION: “Priyanka’s dress had old school Bob Mackie and Cher vibes, so I wanted to play off of that. Luxurious, long, sleek hair was an important part of getting the look right.”

STEP 1: To start, Harry prepped Priyanka’s wet hair with the Goldwell Kerasilk Style Forming Shape Spray to protect against damage from hot tools.

STEP 2: Next, Harry applied the Goldwell Kerasilk Style Smoothing Sleek Spray to smooth and control flyaways before straightening Priyanka’s hair with his Harry Josh Pro Tools Ceramic Flat Iron.

STEP 3: Then, Harry applied 10 rows of Great Lengths GL Tapes Tape-in Hair Extensions for the perfect amount of added length, starting at the nape of the neck and working his way up. This allowed for the extensions to blend seamlessly with Priyanka’s natural hair.

STEP 4: Once all of the 22-inch extensions were applied and in place, Harry went over the pieces with the flat iron.

STEP 5: To finish, Harry sprayed Goldwell Kerasilk Style Accentuating Finishing Creme all over to keep the style in place for the night.

All Goldwell products can be found at a Goldwell salon on the link:

Five Reasons to Give a Sunrise Engagement Photo Shoot a Shot

An engagement photo shoot is one of the most iconic ways to celebrate the start of forever. It offers you an opportunity to acquaint yourself with your wedding photographer before the big day and vice versa. But should you do it during sunset or sunrise? Most people prefer a walk in the sunset. While there’s no denying that sunset shoots yield mesmerizing photographs, there are some pretty good reasons to consider a sunrise engagement shoot, as described in this article.  

  • You Can Have Your Engagement Shoot Exactly Where You’ve Always Envisioned it

Are you more of a night owl than an early bird? Well, you’re not alone! Most people would trade the world for one or two extra hours of sleep every morning. This is what makes sunrise engagement shoots such a good idea. The fact that most of the city is still in deep slumber and that most places are almost empty during the morning hours allows you to have your shoot exactly where you’ve always envisioned it. This is especially advantageous in highly urbanized cities like Atlanta and Austin, where people are always out during sunset.  

  • A Longer Golden Hour

The golden hour in photography refers to that time of the day when the sun is sitting low in the sky, and it’s usually during sunrise and sunset. This means you can get photos during sunset, which are as stunning as the ones you get during sunrise. 

However, the light changes quickly during sunset’s golden hour, and you have to rush the photo shoot session so you can get all the photographs you want before it gets dark. With a sunrise shoot, on the other hand, it’s the opposite. Although the sun’s position changes, you get more and more light giving you the time to pose for perfect photos at your own pace.

  • Clearer and Stunning Engagement Photographs

Mornings are beautiful — the atmosphere is often quiet and crisp, and the rising sun turns everything into shades of mesmerizing orange. But other than that, this is the time to catch Mother Nature in her best form. With less smoke and pollution in the atmosphere, the air is usually clean and free of haze, and as a result, you can be guaranteed of sharper and beautiful images.  However, this is not to say that sunset photographs aren’t stunning. With a skilled wedding photographer, you can expect clear and amazing pictures regardless of the time.  

  • You Can Catch the Morning Fog

Low morning fog or mist tends to add a magical and irresistible touch to photos. It especially adds a wonderfully moody element to photographs if the light rays from the morning sun are peeking through it. 

But it can be tough to catch the morning fog as the sun tends to burn through it pretty quickly. Starting your shoot during the first few minutes of sunrise gives your wedding photographer a higher chance to capture this breathtaking phenomenon. 

  • Lastly, a Chance For a Breakfast Date

When was the last time you and your partner had a breakfast date? It must probably be a long time ago, as most times, mornings get you sleeping in. Also, if you’ve ever had such dates, chances are they were indoors. After an engagement at sunrise, you and your significant other can pass by your favorite restaurant for a breakfast date. 

An engagement session at sunrise might not tickle your fancy if you hate saying goodbye to your bed. But as you’ve seen above, it comes with some pretty exciting perks. Moreover, you can always tell your wedding photographer you want a sunset shoot later, for comparison.

The pants have a low rise and sit just below the waist. The pants have 98% cotton material, blended with 2% spandex, giving them the right amount of stretch.

 

To find the perfect fit pants, always measure at the top of the hipbone over the shirt for waist measurement. The inseam measurements should be from the crotch base to the top of the shoes. Most importantly, use the best twill fabric to experience its fabulous features and benefits.
