How to Pick a Great Salon

Tweet

Finding a hair salon that can give you a great look that matches your personality can be tricky. Fortunately, there are things that you can look for to find a place that will provide you with consistently good service.

Consider Your Needs

Before you can find a salon that you know you'll be satisfied with, you need to know exactly what you’re looking for. While salons may all seem the same from a glance, they vary greatly and cater to different needs. When you're considering your needs, think about the complexity of your styles. How long are you usually at a salon? Do you need coloring? Are you fine with simplicity? Depending on how you answer these questions, you may want an expert stylist or a simple barber. Hear me out before you laugh at this suggestion to go to a barber. Barbers provide haircuts that are both quick and consistent. They are often quite capable of giving women simple hairstyles. Choosing a barber is also very economical; most barbers do not charge more than $20 for a haircut. If you need perms, layering, or coloring, an expert stylist is probably your best option.

Figure out What You’re Comfortable With

If your top priority is finding a competent stylist who will simply cut your hair, finding a salon should be a simple process. This is not usually the case for most people in search of a stylist. If you want fast impersonal service, a chain hair salon is a good choice. People in search of personalized service should go to smaller-sized salons, such as Anne Welsh, when looking for a more intimate experience. Your choices will reflect your preferences for cozy or commercial service.

Check for Reviews and Customer Testimonials

One of your first steps for finding a great hair salon is something that you should do with any business. You should check for reviews to understand what other customers think of the salon. While reviews are not always accurate, a series of very poor reviews is a good indicator that the business does not provide great service. These reviews are also an ideal way to find which aspects of the salon are good or bad.

Ask for Training Certifications and Licenses

Every once in a while, you will hear a nightmarish story about a salon full of completely unqualified stylists. These stylists often provide inconsistent hairstyle and make amateur mistakes. To avoid running into one of the poor stylists, ask the salon manager to show you the stylists' licenses. To get a license, hair stylists are required to graduate from a certified beauty school and cut hair for a certain number of hours as an apprentice. This allows stylists to perfect their craft. If a salon's stylists are licensed, you can bet that they'll do a good job.

By doing your research ahead of time and knowing exactly what you want in terms of quality and service, you'll be able to find a great salon in no time.

Avoid the Funeral Sting with a Life Plan

Tweet

It was a good thing my father and mother in laws invested on life plans a long time ago. If they didn't, it would have cost my mother in law a lot of money when my father in law passed away last June. Funeral costs are unbelievably high these days that is why having a life plan is very important.

My Fil was found dead in the bathroom in the morning of June 18. I think he had a heart attack. He had a multiple bypass operation 18 years ago. He never complained about anything a few days before he passed, but he had a cold. He had his regular check ups and he diligently took his meds, so my Mil was very surprised when she found my father in law that morning. Everything was normal, she said, even the night before. He ate as usual, watched his favorite television shows and went to bed that is why she was surprised to find on the bathroom floor, lifeless.

Anyway, his life plan took care of everything. From the wake to the interment, my Mil did not spend a dime. It really helps to invest in this that is why my parents also made sure things will be taken care of when they go. Even my cousin got scared with the funeral costs in Sydney when her brother in law passed a few years ago.

How about you? Do you have life plans your family can depend on when the inevitable happens?

Five Things You Should Avoid to Achieve Beautiful Skin

5 Common Skin Sins to Avoid by TrophySkin.com

If you barely have any wrinkles (lucky you), now is the time to start preventing. If you are showing any signs of aging, now is the time to help repair and restructure your skin. Fortunately there are multiple ways to tackle wrinkles without having to go under the knife. Continue reading to find out what those tactics are and you'll already be on the road to younger-looking, smoother skin.

Avoid the Wrong Cleanser

Don't underestimate the power of a face wash. Using the wrong kind can wreak havoc on the skin. This principle also applies to bar soap- that is one of the worst things you can do to your facial skin. Bar soap is designed for the body, not the face because it can damage your facial skin's natural moisture and lipid barrier, leaving it dry, tight and pH un-balanced. Choose a cleanser that is right for your skin type (whether you're dry, oily or combo/normal).

Don't Overlook Breakthrough Ingredients

If you want to see a real improvement in your skin, you must invest in skin care products that deliver changes in the skin. Those products are formulated with innovative ingredients that work synergistically to 'communicate' with the skin cells to look and act younger as well as ingredients that encourage hydration and free-radical protection. Those ingredients include: peptides, antioxidants (especially Vitamins A, C & E), botanical stem cells, hyaluronic acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's).

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Did you know that exfoliation is one of the key components to a smoother, youthful-looking complexion? The proper method of exfoliation combined with the proper frequency can result in astounding results. There are basically two ways to exfoliate: mechanically and chemically (or enzymatically). Mechanical exfoliation simply means you are physically exfoliating your skin to remove dead skin cells with a grainy product such as a face scrub, or a facial cleansing brush or even a wash cloth. Mechanical exfoliation is an effective method, but you have to be careful with the product you're using because there are a number of face scrubs on the market that are too abrasive and can actually damage the skin ove rtime.

The most powerful and effective means of mechanical exfoliation is microdermabrasion. Most reputable spas and dermatologist offices offer microdermabrasion as a standalone treatment or as part of a facial. However, you can save yourself a bundle of money by avoiding routine in-office microderm treatments and invest in an at-home system like MicrodermMD Home Microdermabrasion Machine you can use by yourself. It's fairly simple to use and will impart the same results as what an Esthetician would do for you in the treatment room. Stick to exfoliating once or twice a week if your skin is on the dry side, or two to three times a week if your skin leans toward oily.

Get High-Tech With Your Skin

Non-invasive technology has really taken the skin care industry by storm. From microcurrent to galvanic and laser therapy, they can do wonders for our skin without the knife and scalpel. These treatments at the derm or spa can be costly, but luckily, Trophy Skin has created an at-home anti-aging superstar device that yields the same results as the derm's office, but at a fraction of the cost! The RejuvaliteMD Red Light is pain-free, fool-proof and can be used as often as several times a week. It improves the skin's laxity, firmness, texture, skin tone and wrinkles. It also helps to improve sun damage and age spots! That's why it's our go-to anti-aging gem.

Avoid the 3 S's: Sun, Smoking & Sugar

It is common knowledge that the sun and smoking are two top culprits behind premature aging and wrinkling, but let's re-cap: although the sun cannot be avoided completely, that is why it is imperative to wear sunscreen (in other words, a moisturizer with a built-in broad-spectrum SPF) all year round, rain or shine. Smoking destroys the skin, leaving it looking dull, sallow and wrinkly. Because smoking depletes the body's oxygen levels, it asphyxiates the skin, which gives it that lifeless complexion.

Sugar is another culprit behind wrinkles that many people are unaware of. The consumption of refined sugar causes a process called glycation in the skin- which means that sugar molecules attach to collagen fibers, causing them to cross-link, resulting in the breakdown of collagen, and thereby causing wrinkles.

Practice these anti-wrinkle skin care secrets, and you'll begin to notice years taken away from your complexion. Check out all the amazing skin care solutions at TrophySkin.com.

Holiday Gift Giving Guide 2015

Tweet

It's the time of the year when everyone is busy planning the holidays. While some of you have already started shopping for Holiday Gifts even before Halloween, there are still many who have not even started. For those of you who are looking for unique ideas, why not give a gift of experience, membership or services instead of the usual stuff? I'm sure that everyone you know already owns a gadget. Here are a few suggestions I found on Groupon to replace "stuff" with experiences.

$25 or $45 for a One-Year New Sam’s Club Savings Membership Package

Who wouldn't love discounts? Sam's Club offers substantial discounts on an array of brand-name products. Most of the items available there are priced way lower than other stores.

Paris and Rome Vacation with Airfare

Why not treat your family to memorable tour in Paris and Rome? These cities are home to some of the world’s best museums and most famous landmarks.

Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change Plus Front and Rear Windshield Treatment

A gift of service oil change will be much appreciated by a friend or a family member. Very often, people put off having their car serviced because of lack of time or money. This gift will remind them that it's time their car gets the much-needed oil change.

Daytime Helicopter Tour for Two

This tour offers a unique experience because, hey, not all of us can get the chance to ride the helicopter and tour the city, right?

50- or 80-Minute Couple's Massage

How about spa services for you and your loved one that both beautify the body and ease the mind? Aside from facials and scrubs, the couple can also enjoy the use of the spa's gym, sauna, and pool.

So, what do you think of these fabulous ideas? If you think you want to go out of the norm and give someone an entirely different gift, you can click on Groupon Coupon Code $10 Off to take advantage of the discount.

Problem Double Chin?

Tweet

Nope, you don't need those costly creams or even go under the knife to eliminate your double chin. A simple massage can bring back the beautiful contour of your ace. The jaw starts to droop when when your facial contour loses its definition. This happens when lymph flow is lazy around your neck and ears. Toxins can build up in those areas, resulting in swelling. Below are simple massages you can do to give those areas a little TLC to release those toxins.

Step 1

Starting at the point of your chin, gently slide both thumbs along the underside of your jaw, pushing the lymph toward your ears.

Step 2

After reaching the ears, use your thumbs to press the lymph nodes in the hollow behind each earlobe and massage gently to push out waste.

Step 3

Place the fingers of your right hand over the lymph nodes below your left ear. Press downward firmly, keeping your palm flat against your neck.

Step 4

Next, slide your hand down your neck to drain waste. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the right side, then repeat the full massage three to five times.

Do this daily and you'll see a big improvement in as little as two weeks.

How to Enhance Your Next Cocktail Hour

Tweet

One of the best reasons to visit a bar for cocktail hour is that you get to work with a professional bartender who can whip up almost any drink you can name. You can get a sidecar, a Manhattan or a simple gin and tonic in seconds. When you move the cocktail hour to your own home, you can save money and let your inner Don Draper come out to play. As long as you have a few bottles of alcohol on hand some other delicious additions, you can enhance your cocktail hour and please your guests.

Fresh Fruit Juice

You don't need to spend a lot of money on things to enhance your cocktail, but you do want to make sure that you have some fresh fruit juice waiting in your refrigerator. When you taste something that comes across as a little bland, this may occur because the dish needs some acidity. You can get that acidity from a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Roll the citrus fruit between your hands for 15 to 30 seconds to loosen the juice inside, or place it in the microwave for no more than 10 seconds before cutting open and squeezing.

Rim the Glass

Bartenders roll the rim of margaritas and daiquiris in sugar or salt, which enhances the sweet flavor of the drink and adds a fun touch to the cocktail. You can do the same thing at home. Pour a little water or citrus juice in a bowl, dip the rim of the glass in the liquid and then dip in the salt or sugar. You can have fun experimenting with different flavor combinations too. Try rimming the glass with cocoa powder or some crushed cookies or candy for a sweet treat.

Use Mixers

Create the perfect cocktails for all your guests with healthy alcohol mixers. A can of your favorite mixer with an ounce or more of gin or your favorite alcohol creates a winning combination. Many of these healthy mixers do not contain any harsh chemicals or preservatives, and some even lack caffeine. Find delicious flavors like citrus, cranberry pomegranate or even soda flavored mixers that contain fewer calories than the real soda. Using mixers, rimming glasses with your favorite toppings and keeping fresh fruit juices on hand helps you create a cocktail hour that you and your guests will enjoy.

Inspiring Photos Paint A Picture of a Kinder America

Tweet

In 2012, President Obama officially recognized National Volunteer Week, an event that had been celebrated by the Points of Light Institute for more than two decades prior to the presidential announcement. The designated week was slotted into the April calendar that year and highlighted in The Huffington Post. The article included a 55 page slide show of photos. The photos show specific volunteers, often but not always doing the volunteer work in question. A nice pop up blurb elaborates on the details of their volunteer work.

The first entry in the slide show was on a resident of Los Angeles, California, a lovely young lady by the name of eloise lynton. The photograph portrays her reading a book with a young child, presumably a child from the program she worked on. She had invested over a year of time and effort to successfully create a new program at the Westside Children's Center called The Book in a Bag program. The center is a local head start program. It provides a variety of services to more than 100 low-income families in the area.

Additional photos in the slide show are from volunteers from all over the country. A man in Hawaii does volunteer work for the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. A couple in New York founded an organization to raise awareness and provide support related to veterans and military families. The volunteers are men and women, young and old. One photo is of a class of school children who adopted a soldier, most of the kids in question thus starting their volunteer career at the tender age of five.

Some of the volunteers highlighted are victims of tragedy themselves. In some cases, these are tragedies that left them seriously disabled or devastated by the loss of a loved one. They have chosen to rise to the occasion and respond to their own personal pain by having compassion for strangers who are facing similar challenges. In some cases, they founded entirely new programs in order to give back in a meaningful way related to the personal pain they have endured firsthand.

This slide show is not just a portrait of a few hours of time given away for free to try to make the world a marginally better place. Instead, it is a portrait of a generosity of spirit, where a great many people have chosen to light one small candle rather than curse their own darkness. It is surprisingly inspiring. Some of these small candles may well become a bonfire.

A fair number of the volunteers are associated with the military and/or doing things related to supporting military members and their families in some way. The American military cannot function optimally without community support. These photos, and the blurbs that go with them, give insights into the many small ways in which American military members are freed up to focus on their mission by the gentle, persistent support of a great many unseen helping hands.

This is a nice patchwork of seemingly unrelated images of people who have never met. Yet, the photos, descriptions and sometimes relevant links are woven together in a way that gives a sense of the manner in which our country is blanketed with caring people, keeping things working that wouldn't work at all without dedication.

How to Keep Your Elderly Relative Safe

Tweet

When people get older, they need more things to help them get through their daily lives. Elderly people are frail, so the risk of injuries grows significantly the older a person gets. A simple fall that might have only caused a bruise earlier in their life could very easily break the bones of an elderly person. Therefore, if you have an elderly relative who is living alone, you need to do everything you can to make sure that their house is safe. Here are some items to buy for your elderly relative.

1. Stair lift

A stair lift is a device that makes it easy for elderly people to go up stairs in their home. It is a chair that is connected to the wall next to a flight of stairs. When the elderly person wants to go up or down the stairs, he or she simply sits down in the chair and presses a button. This eliminates the possibility of your relative falling down the flight of stairs and suffering a serious and life-threatening injury. Your elderly relative may live in a home with several flights of stairs. He or she may have great difficulty climbing stairs on a regular basis. If this is the case, a stair lift would be an ideal gift to install in your relative's home.

2. A walker

A walker is another essential tool that will help to prevent your elderly loved one from falling and suffering a serious injury. There are many different types of walkers on the market that you can choose from. There are models that are designed to be used with one or two hands. Your relative will have to see which one feels the best. There are many walkers for elderly people for sale at HME Medical Shop. You can browse their inventory at http://www.hmemedicalshop.com/mobility-aids/walkers-for-seniors.html.

3. Shower sand strips and hand grips

Having sand strips installed in a shower is a good idea for people of all ages to prevent falls. However, it is essential for all elderly people to have sand strips on the bottom of their shower. This will give them more traction and make it less likely they will fall. Hand grips are another precaution you can throw in for good measure. You can have hand grips installed in several different locations in the shower so your elderly relative can hold onto them while washing his or her body.

Fabulous Long Gowns and Prom Dresses

Tweet

It's not very often that I attend formal events, so when I do, I always want to look my best. Oh no, I don't go store to store to find the perfect evening dress because I hate shopping. I would rather sit in front of my computer and shop online. And if you think that I would go all out on my dress just because I want to look my best, you are wrong. Dresses online are, most of the time, cheaper than the ones you find at the boutiques. Plus, you get to compare the prices, so you are sure to get a great deal. You don't believe me? Then go ahead and check, so you will have an idea what I'm talking about.

The long evening dresses au cheap link I found the other day was where I purchased that beautiful dress.

At first glance, the gorgeous dress looked long, but when I put it on, the fit was perfect. I love that it is exactly the same as the photo on their website. The long dress flows beautifully and I just love the color. It even looked amazing in the light. The dress is elegant and very classy. I chose a dress that doesn't show a lot of skin, but it really made me feel very sexy. I have received a lot of compliments when I wore it last night. I guess it was the mermaid design that made me really stand out.

If you are in the market for an evening dress or a prom dress for your daughter, you can find modest, inexpensive prom dresses at JVS dress. The website offers a lot of elegant styles and designs that will suit your needs.

Planning a Dream Vacation? Look to Resorts First

Tweet

While you can always stay in an ordinary hotel, staying in a resort lets you fulfill your wishes for a dream vacation. Where else will you find breathtaking views right outside your window and dozens of activities right outside your door? As there are many different types of resorts out there, you might want to look at which type is right for you before booking your stay.

Mountain Resorts

When you love strapping on a pair of skis and taking off down the slope, mountain resorts are the best option for you. Some resorts even offer ski-out access, which lets you open your door and get right out on the mountain. If you need a little extra help for yourself or a loved one, you can sign up for skiing or snowboarding lessons from a trained pro. Mountain resorts may offer some other great amenities too, including hot chocolate served near a roaring fireplace, horse-drawn carriage rides through the snow and snowshoes that you can rent to explore the area around the resort.

Beach Destinations

Instead of heading to the mountains for cold temperatures and snowy scenery, consider hitting the beach for some fun in the sun. Resorts located near the water give guests rooms that overlook the ocean and put you just steps away from the sand. You may even find that the resort offers scuba diving and snorkeling lessons or fishing excursions. Some offer glass bottom boat rides as well. Try looking for resorts that let you rent a cabana or an umbrella for use on the beach too, which helps you take a break from the sun.

Casino Options

Resort companies like Blue Green Resorts Getaways provide gamblers with great vacation options. Imagine rolling out of bed and heading downstairs to find all your favorite table games, card games and slot machines right in front of you. You'll have fun playing all those games and trying to beat the house. When you need a break from the excitement of the floor, most resorts offer amenities like bars, nightclubs and concert venues. You can take in a comedy show, see your favorite band play or just have a few drinks before you dance the night away.

Cruise Packages

Did you know that there are packages that combine all the benefits of a cruise with a resort? Think of these facilities as resorts that sail through the crystal clear blue waters of the ocean. After getting a good night's sleep in your own stateroom, you can explore the ship and find something different on each floor. You might find a casino on one floor, multiple restaurants on the next and an in ground pool on the top deck. Most cruise resorts offer special activities too, including arts and crafts classes and shore excursions.

Family Venues

Let your kids have fun at a resort designed just for families. These resorts may offer babysitting and activities that give you a break from your kids, but you'll also find lots of things you want to do together as a family, including swimming, horseback riding, fishing and even playing tennis, shuffleboard or basketball. Some resorts also have nightclubs, bars, golf courses and other amenities on-site that are just for adults. With so many things to do, resorts offer more benefits than most hotels do.

Make Your Move Less Stressful

Tweet

Moving is a very exciting experience for the whole family; it can be stressful as well. But then, it can be less of a chore when you break down the tasks and start preparing a few weeks before you move. Make a weekly to do list. That way, you can get things done easily. It will also help to print a checklist, so you have a reference of the things to do and the tasks you have done.

First things first. Look for a reliable moving company like removalists Mona Vale. Do your homework and research the movers in your area. Ask family and friends if they can recommend companies they have tried. It is also a great idea to find websites where you can learn more about your rights and responsibilities before you decide on working with a moving company.

If you are relocating, it's best to research schools, hospitals and banks, doctors, and schools. You will surely need to set up new accounts, so prepare all the proper paperwork you need ahead of time.

While you are still weeks away from moving, refrain from buying too much food from the grocery. Instead, use up all your stocks in the freezer and pantry, so you don't have to bring them all or leave them.

Let friends and family members know that you are moving. Send them an e-mail or call them and let them know your new contact information. Some people send a moving announcement.

When you pack, make sure that you number and label each box. Color coding the boxes by room can make unpacking in your new home a breeze. Don't forget to get each family member to pack a suitcase that will be good for one or two weeks. You may not be able to unpack right away after moving, so it's best you have clothes and toiletries that you can use.

Lastly, check in with your moving company one last time to make sure that everything is right on schedule. When everything is clear, you may want to celebrate the memories you have made in your home and get ready to begin making new ones in your new home.

Check Out the Classifieds and Garage Sales

Home remedies for opiate withdrawal include staying hydrated, taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen or using Imodium to treat diarrhea.

Expand Your Security System's Role

Tweet

Protecting your home and family is a #1 priority. Hone security often focuses on how to keep unwanted strangers out, but home security systems have features that work to monitor who goes out as well as alarming you if someone tries to get in.

Children's Safety

You'll sleep better at night with the added layer of protection a security system can add. More than one parent has been awakened by a "front door open" signal and rushed out to find a toddler sleep walking or trying to leave the house for reasons known only to them. Once those toddlers are grown, teenagers have a mind of their own. Halt, or at least deter, their midnight rendezvouses before they can even think to set them up by configuring an organized warning layout on all possible entries or exits.

Family Comings and Goings

It's not unusual in today's society for children to arrive home from school before their parents are finished at work. You'll have peace of mind by assigning each family member their own code on the alarm system. Your smartphone will notify you know when they're home safe without you having to wait for the phone call or text that's too often- and nerve rackingly- forgotten.

Home Service Personnel

Perhaps you have a periodically scheduled cleaning service or a one-time only plumber coming in to work on your house. The security system'll advise you when they enter and when they leave- no second guessing their time or having to wait around for them to arrive. Depending on the sophistication of desired services, you can also be warned if rooms or cabinets designated off limits have been entered.

Like all technology, security systems have expanded their role in keeping your home and family secure. No longer just a method for barring bad guys, you now have options for safeguarding possessions and monitoring the precious ones as they come and go.
