Live Your Best Life: How to Improve Your Financial Situation in 2018


While money isn’t everything, it can provide a person with greater freedom and less stress, which can improve their quality of life. For example, the more money you have in the bank, the more opportunities you will be able to enjoy throughout your life, such as moving into your own home, buying a new car, or booking a dream vacation.
If you’re struggling to keep up with bills, can’t secure a loan due to bad credit, or want to simply protect your money as much as possible, find out how to improve your financial situation in 2018.

Set Financial Goals

Setting financial goals will help you to effectively manage your cash flow, as it will increase your focus to reduce debt, increase your savings, and buy a new home. A set deadline will also give you a timeline to stick to, so you’ll realize there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to debt or saving money.
You should also place your financial goals onto a refrigerator or dressing room mirror, which will remind you to stick to a budget and you’ll see yourself getting closer to the finish line each month.

Learn from Your Mistakes

You cannot move forward unless you have learned from your financial mistakes. Before you do anything, you must identify the errors you have made in the past and make it your mission to avoid them in the future.
For example, a frivolous lifestyle could have led to substantial debt, or a lack of research could have resulted in you taking out a high-interest loan.

Stop Using Lines of Credit

If you’re serious about improving your finances, you must stop using all lines of credit you have accumulated, such as a credit card. Your sole goal now must be to pay down your debts and not increase them, which means avoiding adding more debt to your budget. If you don’t have the cash to pay for an item, it might be a smart idea to go without it if you can.

Improve Your Credit Score

A poor credit score could affect your ability to receive a loan, secure a mortgage, or could even prevent you from getting approved for an apartment. If you have bad credit, you must aim to increase it to help you secure a line of credit in the future. For example, pay every bill on time to increase your score. Read this article for more information on the best options for building a credit score.

Pay Off Your Highest Interest Debts First

High-interest debts can lead to you paying more money than you need to on a loan. If you want to improve your bank balance, you must aim to pay off your highest interest debt first and work your way down the list until you have eliminated your debts.

Look for a Second Job to Increase Your Income

Hard work pays off in the long-run. Sacrificing a little time to boost your income could help you to pay off your debts at a quicker rate, which will decrease your stress and increase your financial freedom. Look for a flexible second job that allows you to work in the evening or a day or two over a weekend.
For example, a few shifts in a restaurant, bar, or retail store might be ideal outside of your office job. You could even work in the comfort of your own home as a virtual assistant, marketer, or administrator to make a little extra money.

Make Sacrifices to Save Money

Eradicate debt or increase your savings by making some sacrifices each month. For example, rather than going out for an expensive meal or drinks with friends, use the money to pay for an upcoming bill.
Also, review your wardrobe to play with your style rather than buying clothing or accessories you don’t need. Cutting back on unnecessary expenses might feel like a chore at the time, but it will be worth it when you have more money in the bank and less pressure on your shoulders.

Talk to a Financial Planner

If you are struggling to get your finances in order, seek professional advice to improve your situation. For example, a financial planner will have the knowledge, tools, and experience to identify how to reduce debt, increase your savings, and scale back your lifestyle. It is a small fee that could lead to big savings, so it could be worth the investment.
Automate Your Bills to Avoid Missed Payments
Manually paying your bills could lead to you to missing a payment, which can damage your credit score. Ensure you never miss a payment again by automating your bills, so they’ll automatically come out of your bank on a select date each month. Write a list of all automated bills and their dates, and regularly review it to ensure you have enough money in your bank or savings account to cover the costs.

Build an Emergency Fund to Cover Unexpected Bills
If you want to enjoy greater financial stability in the future, you must aim to save at least six months of living expenses to cover any unexpected expenses. Life is full of surprises, so you’ll want to have cash in the bank should you need it, so an emergency fund will help you to recover your finances quickly and easily while minimizing stress.

Sell Your Unwanted Items

Rather than holding onto items you don’t really want or need, you should sell them to improve your cash flow. For instance, that old keyboard in an attic could go to a more loving owner, or you could sell all your old clothing to another fashion lover.
There are numerous ways you can sell your unwanted items; for example, you could hold a garage sale or sell items on an auction website, such as eBay or Craigslist. In addition to having more money in the bank, you’ll also declutter your living space.

Male Model Makeover, Hottest Trend for Millennial Men

Male Model Makeover

Image: maleplasticsurgeryla.com

We live in an age where lookism is a way of life. What would have once been considered “Hollywood-ready” is now considered to be a standard appearance for both men and women. The demand for plastic surgery among women has grown steadily throughout the world, and with it, so have the number of specializations plastic surgeons can take.

In recent years, one genre of plastic surgery in particular has taken off: male plastic surgery. From the year 2000 to 2017, the number of men who have requested to go under the knife increased by 76 percent on average. Just last year alone, over 250,000 cosmetic procedures were performed on men.

It’s becoming clear that men are beginning to embrace the plastic surgery boom, and that they are quickly turning into a coveted market demographic. Celebrity plastic surgeons like Dr. Steinbrech have taken notice of this new development and have worked to create custom procedures to help men reach their aesthetic goals.

One such example would be the Male Model Makeover, which is a series of filler injections developed by Dr. Steinbrech as a way to add contour to a man’s face. Due to the fact that it has instant effects, has no downtime, and has long-lasting effects, it’s become a favorite at his office.

How high the demand goes is shocking, even to Steinbrech himself. According to Dr. Steinbrech, the Male Model Makeover procedure has seen a 300% increase in requests since last year alone. This year, it is very likely to surpass that growth, making it one of the most popular male-oriented procedures in history.

Will this trend continue? What will happen to the plastic surgery world if it does continue? If numbers are correct, men could be the next big plastic surgery demographic throughout the country.

Dr. Christopher Calapai Natural Ways To Avoid Sunburn This Summer

Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O., a New York City Osteopathic Physician board-certified in family and anti-aging medicine, suggests the following natural solutions to relish the sunshine without sacrificing your well being.

girl on beach hat glasses on beach

Pay attention to the timing of your sun exposure. Peak sunburn hours are around 11:00-2:00 (or more broadly, 10:00-4:00), so if you’re planning on spending a prolonged period of time outdoors, aim to do so earlier or later in the day than this time frame. Additionally, limiting your time in the sun is beneficial, as people of all skin complexions can absorb maximum vitamin D from the sun within an hour, and for fair-skinned people it can take as little as 10 minutes. Smaller segments of time in the sun will decrease risk of burn. Plus, as your skin gets darker over the summer through short increments, your skin will acquire an increased tolerance to the sun’s rays and you will be able to spend more time in the sun sans damage.

Defend your skin from the inside out. Many people do not know that what you eat has a massive impact on your skin’s reaction to sunshine. Build up reserves of powerful antioxidants in your body with a varied, healthy diet in the warm months. Green tea, tomatoes, red wine, fatty fish like salmon, almonds, citrus fruits, and greens all contain vitamins and antioxidant phytochemicals that can support the skin’s response to UV rays and greatly impede skin damage. As a general guideline, focus on colorful, whole foods and avoid refined oils and processed foods to maximize the skin’s response to the sun.

Keep your skin moisturized prior to sun exposure. Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Apply moisturizer before going outside in the sun to make sure your skin is in its most prime state to defend itself and not get dry, red, and damaged. Keep in mind, moisturizer is not enough in itself to prevent skin damage, but as an added measure, it can be very effective.

Check your medications. Many common medications, both prescription and OTC, can increase your skin’s susceptibility to irritation and damage from the sun. These include, painkillers like ibuprofen, antibiotics, antidepressants, and acne medications, among others. Check your medication’s labels to ensure that it is safe to be in the sun while on them.

Consider wearing light clothing. You do not need to have all of your skin exposed to enjoy the summer’s warmth and sunshine. Wearing loose clothing made with light fabrics like cotton or linen protects the skin from damage while allowing you to stay cool. Don’t forget your sunglasses, and you can enjoy the sun in comfort, style, and great health.

If you  use an over-the-counter sunscreen, go for a mineral-based one, rather than a chemical-based one. Mineral-based sunscreens include those that are zinc oxide- or titanium dioxide-based. These reflect, rather than absorb, the sunlight and seem to be safer than their chemical-based counterparts. As a rule of thumb, 15-30 SPF is as much protection as you need. Furthermore, the more familiar the ingredients are in your sunscreen, the better it probably is for your skin. Look for ones enriched with vitamins, natural extracts, and other antioxidants. These can greatly improve your skin’s response to potential UV damage.

No Fuss Beauty, Summertime 2018 Essentials Chosen By The IAGT Team

No fuss products are what we need for hot summer days at work, the gym, the beach and for our beauty regimen. The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are not always relaxing and fun but we need not fret. We can coast through summer with some help from the brands below. We have tried everything here and they all have our seal of approval.

 

Zoella Sweet Inspirations Body Mist

Zoella Sweet Inspirations Body Mist

 

First, let’s talk about a fragrance that is perfect for summer and perfectly priced ($12.95). Actually, it’s a mist for a subtler approach to fragrance. It’s light and fresh. It won’t cause the headaches that heavy perfumes may cause you or others in the hot summer weather. So there is no need to grab a cold compress just try Zoelle Beauty Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. It is available at Ulta. Ulta details the fragrance as “inspired by the scrummy scent of sweet macaroons, this deliciously chic fragrance will leave you smelling totally irresistible!” Some of the ingredients include (Sweet Almond) Oil, Mel (Honey) Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract. Sounds like a macaroon to me! For Amazon Prime members look for Zoelle Beauty products at Amazon.

Mehron’s Highlight-Pro palettes

Mehron’s Highlight-Pro palettes

 

For the face and body we love Mehron’s Highlight-Pro palettes. In the hot months forget the foundation and ditch your concealer, black mascara and eye shadow for a more natural look.  During the summer days we use a lighter approach to highlighting, brushing the highlighter on the parts of your face where light would hit but not just the cheekbones. Highlighter is the perfect cosmetics product for day into summer night wear. We especially love it on summer nights. We never forget to highlight our décolletage especially in the evening. At night we go a bit heaver on the highlight than during the day.

From Mehron’s website: “Highlight-Pro palettes are formulated with the highest quality ingredients to provide a subtle shimmer and illuminating effect for face and body. This professional pressed powder is perfect for accenting and highlighting areas such as the cheekbones, brows, inner eyes, bridge of nose, cupids bow and décolletage. Available in two palette varieties, cool and warm, each with three varying undertones.  These lightweight and long wearing highlighters will brighten all skin tones creating a soft, luminous glow.”

Booty Shawls

Booty Shawl

 

This summer I am loving my Booty Shawl . It’s a hip wrap. This season, I am hiding a little extra belly fat (my booty is fine) so Booty Shawl is  perfect for that bit of extra coverage when hanging out at the beach house on the weekends. I am wearing it over my shortest  solid black biker short (instead of a bikini bottom) and with various bikini tops. It looks great and I feel comfortable and confident. I have the Black Lace Isabella Wrapalini style . Again, I love it!

I also wear it with a tee and ankle leggings, my denim skinny jeans and my yoga pants. For exercise class I am always on the search for tops that cover my lady bits in my tight exercise leggings but with Booty Shawl, I am covered! I can leave it on or just wear it to and from class. I definitely need to buy more colors and styles! I am already thinking of the wear possibilities for Fall and Winter. Patti Breen is the owner and founder of Booty Shawl. @bootyshawl

Stained Teeth and Bad Breath? Here Is What To Do About It

image from eversmile.com

image from eversmilewhite.com

 

Stained teeth and bad breathe? Each day we eat and drink things without giving a second thought about the impact that they may have on our teeth or breath. Yet we will look into the mirror and wish our teeth were whiter, or find throughout the day that we suddenly have breath that makes us want to hide from talking with others. What we eat and drink can have a major impact on the color of our teeth, as well as the freshness of our breath. This makes it important that we know which products are the main culprits and what we can do about it in order to help protect our smile and reputation.

“We know well how important it is that people have beautiful teeth and fresh breath,” explains Dr. Michael Florman, a Los Angeles-based orthodontist and the chief executive officer of EverSmile, Inc. “That’s why we have created our line of EverSmile products. We want to help people be able to enjoy the foods and beverages they want, but still have the smile and breath they can be proud of.”

Here are foods that can stain teeth and what you can do about it:

  • Beverages. Coffee, tea, red wine and cola are favorite drinks of many people, but they can all stain your teeth. They contain pigments that attach to the teeth, causing discoloration. If you are going to drink these beverages, opt for a reusable straw for the cold ones, which will help minimize staining of the cold beverages. For all of them, rinse your mouth out with water when you are done drinking them. You can also use a quick tooth whitener, such as WhitenFresh, which will help you keep your teeth white and your breath fresh with just one quick spray from the airless spray bottle.
  • Citrus. Everyone loves to sip some lemonade, but they won’t love what consuming a lot of citrus can do to their teeth. Citrus erodes enamel on the teeth, which leads to discoloration and make it more prone to decay. Your best option is to minimize citrus and rinse your mouth with water after consuming it.

Here are foods that can cause bad breath and what you can do about it:

  • Garlic. Love it or hate it, garlic has a strong aroma that lingers due to its sulfuric compounds. When you eat it, especially if you eat a lot of it, you will be exhaling the strong scent of garlic for hours. If you don’t have breath freshener on you after you eat a dish with garlic, ask for some parsley to chew, which will help minimize the odor.
  • Onions. Just like garlic, onions are notorious for causing bad breath, which comes from the sulfur compounds in them. When they have been cut into, they release that mix with bacteria and create an unforgettable scent. You can help minimize the smell by carrying a breath freshener to use or chewing on some anise seeds.
  • Dairy. Many people love dairy products, but when the amino acids from them mix with the bacteria in your mouth it can cause a real stink. Bad breath often follows the consumption of dairy products, so be prepared with having some breath freshener on hand.

“Nobody wants to give up having these foods and beverages, but we also don’t want stained teeth and bad breath,” added Dr. Florman. “It’s all about knowing how to battle back. We help make it easy to do just that.”

EverSmile has created WhitenFresh, a product that comes in a small airless spray bottle that can be carried in your purse or pocket. It has been specially designed to whiten teeth, get rid of bad breath, and kill germs at the same time. Plus, it’s something that has been formulated so it won’t cause sensitivity. People can use it up to six times per day. EverSmile products use patent pending EverClean™ technology, which cleans and whitens using proprietary surfactants, solvents, and hydrogen peroxide. It breaks up organic stain particles that discolor the teeth and dental appliances.

EverSmile’s line also includes products that will help those with braces, aligners, and retainers keep their appliances clean. At the same time, they will be able to clean their aligners, whiten their teeth, and freshen their breath. The cleaning products are now available in 4,800 CVS stores around the nation. The entire line of products includes EverSmile WhiteFoam, which gently cleans aligners or trays, EverSmile OrthoFoam, which cleans under and over braces, and EverSmile WhitenFresh, which is a freshening and tooth whitening spray that kills bacteria that cause bad breath and tooth decay on the go.

Dr. Florman, who practices in Los Angeles, is considered to be one of the top Invisalign providers in the country and has over 25 years of consulting experience for oral care companies including for Colgate, Arm & Hammer, and others. Dr. Florman has invented multiple dental products and has brought several products from inception to commercial success. For more information about the company and products, visit their site at: www.eversmilewhite.com.

About EverSmile

Located in Los Angeles, EverSmile’s mission is to create new and advanced oral care products that will change patients’ lives. Currently in development are our new sensitivity-free whitening agents, dry mouth formulations, low-abrasion toothpastes, and a complete children’s dental line.

Try These 6 Eating Tips for Healthy Weight Loss

Weight loss has become one of the most popular topics among many people and discussions that many techniques have been put forward for it to be effective. There are plenty of ways ideas and even myths that have been suggested, but only a few of them have proven to really work maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Remember that not all diet tips are effective and healthy. One technique may work for someone, while another may not. Therefore, it’s good to choose techniques that are natural and proven to be effective. Here are 6 eating tips for a healthy weight loss.

  • Eat slowly

Take your time when eating. Chew your food well and swallow it properly. Chewing food well is essential to its full digestion and extraction of nutrients from the food you eat. On the other hand, not chewing well can result in indigestion and stomach ache.

Eat at the proper time of the day, too. Breakfast, lunch and supper times should be followed because these are specific times when your body need the most nutrients and energy that you get from your food.

  • Listen to your hunger

A diet technique of “not eating” is never an effective one. Depriving your body of food without proper medication can bring more problems in your health than solve them. Hunger is your body’s way of saying it needs more nutrients to see through the rest of the day, and if you do not feed your hunger, your organs may not function properly.

Online Phentermine information can be easily searched, and this drug can help with repressing appetite which is used on many weight loss programs.

  • Consume a low-calorie diet

Feeding your hunger does not mean you can eat anything you want. Of course, you need to be mindful of the food you choose to eat. Calories are the enemies when we talk about weight loss, instead of being an unhealthy choice, calories can add to your weight, instead of subtracting from it.

Choose food types that are low in calorie content. Check the nutritional contents of the food you buy from stores, or better yet, eat more fruits and vegetables instead of store-bought food.

  • Stay well hydrated

Hydration is a very important factor, not only for your general health but also for daily survival. Water is the only natural way to stay hydrated. Doctors recommend drinking eight glasses of water every day, the more the better.

Water does not only keep you hydrated, it is an effective and natural antioxidant that cleanses your body from toxic from the food that you ingest daily. The more water you drink, the cleaner your body inside and out will be.

  • Be mindful of trendy drinks

When we say trendy drinks, there are several types – coffee, unnatural tea, energy drinks and concentrated juices. These drinks, although you may argue that is needed by your body to give you the energy boost you need on a day to day basis, are actually toxic to the body.

Coffee and tea have been proven to have good effects, as they have antioxidant properties that help rid the body toxic. However, too much consumption may not be a healthy choice. Energy drinks and concentrated juices may be effective in containing your hunger and giving you the energy boost needed, but these types of drink are toxic to the body.

  • Ditch sugary drinks and sodas

Juices, sodas and energy drinks are only a few of the most common sugary drinks that may seem harmless. Some types of coffee, especially iced and frappuccino, contain more sugar than the regular freshly brewed coffee. Sugar, as studies will tell you, is the leading cause of heart problems.

Sugary drinks and sodas can result to higher blood sugar levels; too much sugar consumption is not an ideal way to lose weight, and too much sugar can eventually lead to heart and/or kidney problems. Better lower your sugar intake not only on drinks, but from all other food choices.

An effective weight loss technique is not when you are eating less. You may still eat more, as long as you eat properly and choose food that is healthy. Dieting, or eating less, may make you lose weight, but be sure to accompany it with supplements that can balance the nutrients needed by your body.

Losing weight is not something that can happen just overnight. It takes time, discipline and self-control, but the result is always better – a longer, healthier, happier life.
