Knowing Your Face Shape

Knowing Your Face Shape

Have you ever spent weeks combing magazines for a new hairstyle, searching for looks that would work with your hair type? Upon finding one, you take the picture to your stylist who duplicates it down to the last layer. You stare at your new self - the style is gorgeous and works so well with your hair type. So why does it look so bad? You probably didn’t take your face shape into consideration. A hairstyle chosen without your face shape in mind can distort your features by changing the balance of your face. A simple rule is that hair should be wide where your face is narrow and vice versa, and hair should have length where your face is square and vice versa.There are several methods you can use to determine your face shape. The easiest is to ask your stylist. The next easiest is to pull your hair off your face and simply look. Often, your face is noticeably square, or oblong, or oval. If it’s not, grab a bar of soap, a tube of lipstick, or an eyeliner and stand at least 6 inches (15 cm) from a mirror. Using whatever you’ve got in your hand, trace the shape of your face in the mirror. Match the shape you scrawled to one of the following descriptions:Oval is considered the perfectly balanced face, making it a beauty ideal. Featuring a softly rounded hairline and a jaw line that is a smudge narrower than the temples, it can handle any hairstyle that works with your hair type. If you’d like to show off your lucky shape, avoid on-the-face looks that hide your features. If you’ve got a round or square face, avoid center parts, which can emphasize the face’s fullness. Instead, try parting your hair deep on the side to slim the face.Round faces are, well, round. If creating a slimmer look is important to you, try to keep fullness away from the sides (no Farrah feathers or curly bobs) and create length at the top or bottom (or both) of the style. Styles to make a round face look longer include short or long cuts with ultra-short bangs, French twists, long-layered cuts with sleek sides, and side-swept bangs.

In Your Child’s Bedroom

In Your Child’s Bedroom

Most children spend about fifty to sixty hours a week sleeping and even more time playing or hanging out in their bedrooms. One of the most important steps you can take to remove common asthma triggers is to target your child’s bedroom aggressively. This doesn’t mean you must scrub everything twice a day; most of these changes are not difficult or time consuming. For example:Cover pillows, mattresses, and box springs in plastic or dust-filtering covers; pillows should be made of washable, synthetic material, not feathers. Use washable, synthetic blankets; avoid fuzzy cotton or wool blankets. Bedding, including pillows, should be wasbed once a week in hot water (hotter than 130 degrees) to kill dust mites. If you have pets, keep them outdoors if possible. Keep them out of your child’s room at all times and keep the bedroom door shut. Replace venetian blinds or miniblinds and fabric curtains (that attract and hold dust) with smooth, pull-down shades that are easily wiped down with warm, soapy water. It’s even better if you can replace all blinds and drapes with shades throughout your home. Replace any carpet (wall-to-wall or area rugs) in your child’s room with a bare wood floor or tile that can be damp-mopped regularly.Keep clothes in drawers and/or closets with the closet door shut.Keep any woolen clothing in heavy plastic bags.Clean or dust surfaces in your child’s room weekly. Try to use furniture that doesn’t attract and hold dust (wood, metal, or plastic as opposed to upholstered when possible). Avoid shelves that hold pictures, books, and knickknacks; move those items to another room or store them in closed cabinets. Contain clutter. Although it’s difficult to remove clutter from any child’s bedroom, it is essentia every night to put all toys and books in closed containers, drawers, or closets.This reduces your child’s exposure to dust while sleeping.Avoid stuffed animals. It’s hard for children to give up stuffed creatures completely, but try to keep them to a minimum. At least keep them off the bed. If your child has a favorite stuffed animal, wash it regularly in hot water.Keep all food out of your child’s room to avoid attracting roaches. If your home has a forced-air heating system, turn it off in your child’s room, or cover the bedroom air vents with filters.Many places sell supplies that help reduce allergens in the bedroom. Most linen or bedding stores carry hypoallergenic mattress and pillow covers. They can also be purchased from online or catalog stores. Some useful items include: electrostatic cloths that remove most dust, HEPA filters to remove animal dander in the air, and a dust mite reducing solution. The Pet QuestionChildren with asthma are often allergic to pets that shed hair, dander, and feathers. Some studies indicate that if pets are present in the home before the diagnosis of asthma, a child may already be sensitized to pets and less likely to be allergic to them. Once a child has been diagnosed with asthma, however, it is better to avoid furry and feathered pets. If you don’t remove a pet from your home, at least keep it out of your child’s bedroom at all times, even when your child isn’t in his room. Animal dander is very sticky, so if a furry pet lives in your home, every effort should be made to wipe down all surfaces each week. While this can be very difficult, it is important to keep your child from picking up and playing with the animal. Acceptable options for pets include fish, reptiles, frogs, or turtles. SmokeTobacco smoke is the most common irritant for children with asthma. The best way to reduce tobacco smoke pollution exposure in the home is for the smoker to stop smoking. If there is a smoker in your family who has not completely quit smoking, the next best goal is to move the smoke away from your child who has asthma. Steps to a Smoke-Free Home Children with asthma are at a higher risk from the effects of cigarette smoke. Parents can take these steps to protect their children:Smoke only in one room Blow smoke out the window Use an air purifier or smoke filter Never smoke near a child Never smoke in a car with a child Smoke only outside the home Never allow smoke in your home or car Never allow smoke around a child

History of the Mattress

October 25th, 2008 by admin

History of the Mattress

A mattress is usually defined as a mat that is placed on top of a bed, where a person usually sleeps or lies. Like many words ‘mattress’ originates from the Arabic language which had the original meaning of “to throw” and “place where something is thrown.” Later on in time the Europeans adopted the method of the Arabic’s by sleeping on cushions that had been thrown on the floor. Eventually mattress found its way into the English language.A mattress can be placed on the floor, but in many cases it is placed on top of a type of platform, so that it’s further from the floor. Originally mattresses were filled with a wide variety of materials such as straw and even feathers. Today the type of material we use has changed, and they contain materials such as foam and latex. The mattress of today usually contain some type of spring, but may also contain a variety of natural fibres. During the Neolithic period mattresses start to be invented, the bed upon which a mattress lies also change with the beds been raised so as to avoid drafts and vermin. The first mattresses probably consisted of a very few materials for example grass, leaves or maybe even straw and animal skin. Very different to what the beds of today are made with. The mattress has seen many advances in recent decades, including the development of the air mattress, the foam mattress and the memory foam mattress. I recent years people are seeking affordability and convenience rather that quality due to the economic climate the world is seeing. Types of mattresses • The spring mattress core supports the body of a sleeper; today these mattresses are usually called “innersprings” and tend to be made of steal coil springs.• The air mattress usually consists of one or more chambers rather than springs to provide its support for the sleeper. Quality of these mattresses can vary considerably with inexpensive ones for camping been available, and right at the other end of the scale where high end luxury ones are available. • Memory foam mattresses use shape-conforming latex not springs to provide support for its sleeper. Most memory foam mattress stores offer a wide range of products which vary from high end products to low cost products.

The Secrets of Man Skin Care, Revealed!

October 13th, 2008 by admin

 

Are you interested in looking into the realm of man skin care? Perhaps you have heard of that old adage “Let the buyer beware”. Well, in the world of skin care, especially man skin care, that couldn’t be more true. When buying a skin care product, we have to ensure first that it is not simply some fancy skin care agent for women, repackaged as a male product. That means no perfumes, no chemicals that unnaturally soften the skin, nothing that does not give us what we want: Younger, healthier skin that retains a rugged masculinity. Due to various scientific advances, male skin care has never been better.

In order to have an idea what man skin care will actually provide a very demonstrated benefit, you have to have an idea of what works, and how it works. Think of your body like a machine… when everything is running properly, some people might think you do not need to have an idea of how it works, but that knowledge will help you maintain it. In addition, if a machine breaks down, suddenly you are in a heap of trouble if you do not know the first thing about it. By understanding how these skin creams function when looking at the selection of male skin care products, you will be better set to help your body respond to the skin problems you might encounter.

One major contribution to the world of man skin care is the contribution of keratin, which is a protein found naturally through the skin. Keratin serves a structural purpose within your skin, providing support to the various cells that function within your body. Now, most products that include keratin have de-naturalized it, meaning that it has been processed to be applied in a product. This process usually involves applying a high temperature or a concentrated acid to various animal products… hooves, feathers, horns. It is unhealthy, and does not provide your skin with what it needs.

The answer? Look for solutions that provide keratin without this de-naturalization process. A company has done work on extracting natural forms of keratin from sheep in New Zealand, producing a product that does not go through the same kind of extreme punishment that de-naturalized keratin. Just as a worker are only as good as his tools, a skin care product will only function at the level that its compounds let it.

By keeping your eyes out for natural processes of keratin extraction, you can make sure you are providing yourself with the premium in man skin care. Know your products, know your active ingredients, and remember that just like any other machine, if you are feeling run down you deserve a tune up.
