While it is not discussed openly, many women worry about the appearance of their vaginal lips, which may cause them to be less confident. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Smita Ramanadham can help New Jersey women feel more attractive and comfortable with surgical vaginal rejuvenation to correct the shape and size of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, can look stretched or have hanging skin due to genetics, natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or an injury. A labiaplasty surgically decreases the size of the labia majora and/or minora to create an improved look. This may diminish irritation and discomfort while increasing sexual pleasure and confidence. Come in for a consultation at our practice in New Jersey to hear more about labiaplasty and see if you may be a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation surgery.
"Dr. Ramanadham is one of the most skilled and compassionate doctors I have ever seen. She produced fantastic results with the treatments she recommended, and she also was clear in steering me away from other treatments that I thought I wanted but she didn't think I needed or would work well for me. I have seen her for botox treatments and skin care advice and treatments for over two years."- _. / RealSelf / Feb 07, 2019
"I have been going to Dr. Ramanadham for the past 5 years for botox, fillers and chemical peels. She is truly a artist and very meticulous with everything she does. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Ramanadham and the services she provides. I highly recommend her for any plastic surgery procedure."- J.C. / Google / Jul 17, 2019
"In August I underwent breasts augmentation as well as lipo on my ankles. From start to finish this process was made easy and pleasant. Jodi is most helpful, extremely sweet and caring for Dr. Ramanadham's patients. Dr. R. is a doll! She will spend as much time as needed to assure all your questions have been answered. As for the results, so far I am pleased. I am told it will be a full year for the final results to show. I highly recommend this practice."- Anonymous / Healthgrades / Nov 13, 2020
"Dr. Smita and Jodi are THE BEST! I am a squeamish patient and they made me feel so comfortable. They were professional but caring, and provided customized care- answered all my questions and going above and beyond to explain details honestly to me. Really appreciate them!"- N.B. / Google / Nov 12, 2020
"Five Stars - From the moment I walked into the office I was treated so professionally, I was made to feel so comfortable. I asked if she could do my filler right there and then. She said fine she did a beautiful job. I love the way my face looks now. And I definitely will be going back again. As a matter of fact I went back again and had another filler done. And I will definitely refer her to any of my friends. Susan and Larosa"- Anonymous / Vitals / Jul 28, 2020
Surgery for the labia can be beneficial for New Jersey women who are self-conscious about the size and shape of their labia, which can be enlarged because of childbirth, genetics, or a physical trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause discomfort, pain, irritation, or itching when engaging in activities, like sex and exercise. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation can also be beneficial if you avoid wearing certain clothing (like leggings, yoga pants, or bathing suits) because of the appearance of your labia. While labia surgery should not impact your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Ramanadham recommends you wait until you are done having children in order to prevent jeopardizing your rejuvenated results.
Many labiaplasty procedures can be completed in our office with local anesthetic so you may drive yourself to and from our office. If your treatment plan is more complex, you may need to be put under general anesthesia at a nearby surgical facility so you will need to have a responsible adult drive you home following your procedure. Dr. Ramanadham can talk about your treatment plan and more at your consultation so you may make arrangements, if needed, prior to your appointment. A labiaplasty is most often performed with the trim technique that removes excess tissue, then the remaining skin is stitched so it is taut. Also available is the wedge technique that removes a triangular area of skin and excess folds from the clitoris before stitching the remaining tissue closed.
What to Expect
You will need around one week to heal following your labiaplasty to allow discomfort and swelling to fade away before returning to normal activities. Dr. Ramanadham suggests applying a cold compress or ice pack if needed to reduce inflammation. You are not allowed to have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 4 – 6 weeks following your surgery. Patients usually see visible results in around six weeks and final results around six months after the procedure. The improvements of vaginal rejuvenation are long-lasting; however, childbirth, natural aging, and weight fluctuations can impact your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a labiaplasty cost?
The total cost of your labiaplasty will be dependent on several factors. In your initial consultation with Dr. Ramanadham, she will understand your needs and wants before developing your custom surgical plan. Once you have decided on your options for your vaginal rejuvenation, Dr. Ramanadham can start to estimate your costs. Our practice takes several payments, and we can give you information on low-interest medical financing.
Should I choose a plastic surgeon or OB/GYN?
As you research surgical vaginal rejuvenation, you will discover that a large majority of OB/GYNs (obstetricians and gynecologists) perform labiaplasty. Although most OB/GYNs are capable of performing a labiaplasty, they may not be your best choice. An OB/GYN can surgically remove loose skin from your vaginal lips, but a plastic surgeon, like Dr. Ramanadham, will focus on other aspects as well. She will ensure minimal scarring, and your final contour, color, and symmetry all look and feel natural.
Will vaginal rejuvenation surgery cause insensitivity?
Like most surgeries, you may have some numbness in the treated area for a while. This is temporary as your skin and vaginal lips recover. For those concerned about sexual sensitivity, it is important to realize that a labiaplasty addresses the vaginal lips and will not affect the nerves of the clitoris. A skilled plastic surgeon, like Dr. Ramanadham with years of training and experience in vaginal rejuvenation surgery, will avoid the clitoris to prevent desensitizing the area.
What is the recovery process like after a labiaplasty?
Prior to your procedure, Dr. Ramanadham or someone on her team will go over what to expect following your labiaplasty and provide tips to make your recovery process more comfortable. You should expect some swelling and bruising in the treated areas, plus a certain amount of discomfort right after your procedure. You need to stay home for at least a week before resuming non-strenuous activities. Dr. Ramanadham will evaluate your healing in your check-up appointments and tell you when you can resume sexual activity.
Are there nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments?
Nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments are available, which may help to improve mild to moderate vaginal laxity. However, vaginal rejuvenation is better for dramatic improvements to reshape and tighten your labia. In your initial consultation with Dr. Ramanadham, she will discuss your surgical and nonsurgical treatment options and give you suggestions based on your needs and goals.
Comfortable and Confident
Every vagina is not identical, and many factors can affect the appearance of the outer labia. If you do not feel confident or comfortable because of the shape and size of your labia, find out more information about vaginal rejuvenation surgery. Talk to plastic surgeon Dr. Smita Ramanadham about your concerns and needs so she can develop your personal labiaplasty treatment plan. Schedule an appointment at our facility in New Jersey to hear more about a labiaplasty for vaginal rejuvenation.

As we get dressed every morning, we never question our outfit and makeup choices or ever ask ourselves if the outfit is proper to wear in our country and by government rules.
Russian women did just that. They had to abide by government “dress code” rules. Before 1991, Russian women were told to follow Communist rules of dressing, which appraised simplicity. Clothing was to be kept modest and adornment free. Beauty wise, no makeup and short hair were required.
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, women took the initiative to learn all they could about beauty. All pressure they had from the government for women to be androgynous and simple, made them even more interested in beauty and fashion. They learned about Western ideals of beauty and they saw films that perceived women as successful, just through their appearance. They connected the fabulous clothing and makeup with feminity and with advancement in life.
After moving to Canada, these women were brought into the Western fashion ideals. Russian women went out of their way to get the same looks of Western fashion because in their country, they didn’t have fashionable clothing at all. A woman had the perception that you couldn’t wear the same thing twice but in Russia you could. They preferred it to be that way because in Russia they couldn’t wear nice things and feel “well-dressed” but in Canada, they did have the luxury to do that.
After reading the article, I can see why the Russian women had different perceptions of beauty. Every culture has a different definition of what beauty truly is.
Does this correlation of beauty and success still exist today?
Do you find that people still dress to “fit in” and to “be like everyone else”? Why?
If you were to live in another country, would you change your wardrobe to blend in with everyone else?
Does having money and fashion correlate in any way?

So what makes a woman beautiful? It is not the shape of her body. It is the form of elegance she carries in her presence.
The beauty of strength in her soul that motivates her in the moments when the world is so cold.
The build of her mind intelligence and and understanding.
Her heart shaped out of compassion, love and warmth. But, strong enough to carry the burdens of the ones she loves.
The protective defense she has to stand up tall for her children. When they are scared or in need.
So do not define her, them, and or I by the physical. Because, our beauty isn’t shallow.
I, SHE, HER, WOMEN, we all are beautiful and wondrous

This has made it feasible for perfumeries to incorporate the aromas from flowers everywhere throughout the world in any of their aromas.
Fragrant plants are not difficult to find but they definitely are difficult to choose from. Choosing fragrant flowers is like choosing perfumes, just a bit more complex. The right smell may entice a lot of people and wildlife but too much smell can overpower other fragrant plants that have a lighter smell.

However, while buying these you must read the packet if the flowers are scented or not. Roses are the most fragrant before dawn, so they are assembled around evening time. The two sorts of roses that are utilized most normally for aroma are Rosa centifolia, a southern French assortment, and Rosa damascene, or the Damask Rose, which is found for the most part in Arab nations. Roses are assembled during the evening since they are at their most fragrant before dawn.

How do I know if silver hair will suit me?
How do I know if silver grey hair will suit me? … Silver grey hair will look best on olive and fair skin with yellow undertones. If you have a pink tone, your skin may appear red and irritated with a cool grey hue. So for you, it’s better to go for a peachy colour such as Metallic Rose Gold.
Is it hard to get silver hair?
To get silver hair, you have to bleach your hair until your strands are almost white. The darker your natural color is, the more bleach sessions you’ll have to go through to lighten your hair enough to achieve that ethereal silver hue. The bleaching process can be very damaging to your delicate mane.

What happens if you leave purple shampoo on too long?

How long does it take for purple shampoo to wash out?
It even works to get rid of unwanted yellow tones in natural gray or silver hair. Or, if you need a less intense re-fresh of your light locks, just use it on wet hair in the shower like your normal shampoo. You can still leave it on up to 20 minutes and then rinse out.
How long does it take for toner to wash out?
4-5 weeksToner oxidizes over 4-5 weeks. If you want to remove it more quickly, wash your hair with a gentle clarifying or dandruff shampoo.

Can purple shampoo ruin your hair?
Does purple shampoo damage hair? The cool violet pigment in purple shampoo won’t damage hair, but if you leave it on strands too long, those purple pigments will take their job a little too far and could turn tresses a purple-violet colour.
What’s the complementary color of gray?
Pink and gray have always been a popular color combination. The contrasting hues play off each other well and create a balance between the more serious gray shades and the playful pink hues. For a more sophisticated take on this combo, try a burgundy with hints of brown and gray undertones.
Can I pull off silver hair?
Dying your hair a blunt gray color is not likely to work out well. This is why dying your hair at home (at least for such a drastic color change) isn’t the best idea. Instead, go to a salon and request that they add a blend of different shades to your hair to create a more seamless, natural look.


From skincare to fragrance and from bath products to oral hygiene, consumers are continually changing the way they interact with and discard their personal care products. Whether you're a manufacturer or a product marketer, you know how important it is to stand out from the crowd whilst also reflecting the changing needs of the consumer with your packaging.
In our new bulletin, Smithers Pira explores the top four personal care packaging trends you need to know about to make sure your products stay ahead of the curve.
Consumers are becoming more environmentally aware and these concerns are leaking into their personal care purchases. These days, consumers are actively seeking out signs on packaging that show the manufacturer has an environmental conscience. Understanding how this commitment to sustainability can be communicated on packaging is increasingly key to attracting consumers.
However, herein lies the challenge for a large portion of the personal care market. Luxury products, relying on the perception of exclusivity and prestige for sales, experience a potential disconnect here as brand owners often do not want to associate their high-end goods with recycled materials. An example of a company successfully balancing these two concerns is luxury packaging producer Toly Products Ltd, and their new Zeta Biozone range. Optionally available in two environmentally friendly materials, PLA and Eastman's Tenite cellulosic polymers, Zeta Biozone are able to satisfy varying groups of consumers without losing its luxurious image.
A growing number of consumers balance their personal care routines with increasingly busy lifestyles, meaning that products offering ease of use are most likely to succeed.
As a result, there is a general movement towards PET (polyethylene terephthalate) usage, which allows for product flexibility on-the-go. Manufacturers are also using gravity to ease dispensation, a technique which has been adopted across the board.
Easier to open caps, closure devices, packs which stand up better in the shower, portion control devices and 'handleability' are all innovations which are responding to a consumer's desire for convenience and ease of use. For example, Unilever's Lynx Detox Deep Clean Shampoo features an innovative button operated cap, designed for speed and ease of use in the shower.
3.) Male grooming
The growing popularity of male grooming, particularly in emerging markets, is increasing the global demand for male hair care and facial skin care products. Shaving, aftershave and antiperspirants have been the traditional products most in demand by men, and these items are now being joined by a plethora of skin and hair care products. This trend is usually driven not so much by a desire for attractiveness, but by a professional or social situation coupled with a desire to proclaim one's status or differentiate oneself from the crowd.
Therefore in this new, tentative market, branding attributes hold significant value. The importance of building brand affinity as well as awareness and loyalty feature heavily in the brand owner's marketing activities as consumers look for the reassurance of established brands for their daily personal care routines.
Preservation of quality is a packaging pre-requisite to ensure the product remains fit for purpose for the duration of its use. Pack functionality is also very important in this sector, as the time-poor male consumer looks for more practical and simple application from their packaging. Ergonomics can also act as a differentiator to support and build the brand during product usage.
4.) Value-added products
As new developments continue to occur in the fast-moving personal care packaging sector, consumers are increasingly expecting added value in the cosmetics they purchase. Packaging companies should meet this expectation through the addition of innovative techniques, such as integrated applicators.
Across all categories, these dispensing systems have become a key way for brands to differentiate products and offer consumers additional value. Brands are introducing products with dispensing applicator tips that directly apply formulas to the face or other target area, including items such as sponges, brushes and roll-ons. Applicator tips have found their way into many different beauty segments, with skincare being one particularly suitable application.
Aptar's Caresse applicator is a leading example of such an applicator. A bi-injected, flexible applicator that works like a fingertip, the Caresse provides a gentle application which also massages the skin.

Biore (ビオレ,Biore), also stylized as Bioré, is a skincare brand owned by the Japanese company, Kao (花王,Kao). Kao sold the first Biore product, "Biore Facial Foam" in 1980. They soon began selling makeup remover and cleansing wash in the following years, which were marketed at "office ladies" or "OLs". In 1999, they revamped their "Biore Facial Foam". Over the next decade, Kao continued developing different kinds of makeup remover and face wash. Biore is also sold in the United States.
Yoko Kamio hinted at the collaboration on her Twitter in June 2016. Biore began the marketing campaign featuring Boys Over Flowers, particularly centered around the F4, in early August 2016. They also posted advertisements in the Tokyo subway system. Biore's website also had a quiz, which told customer which product to use with the F4's comments.


I am not a beauty blogger, and I have no desire to be. But multiple people have asked me to blog about my rice water rinse experience, so here it goes! Also, understand that there is no one-size-fits-all fix for hair growth. Some people find this process drying. Some people don’t see results. Everyone has to find a process that works for them! So this is just about my personal experience.
I went to get my hair trimmed and colored back in November, and my hairdresser noticed that I had a bunch of baby hair and how much my hair had grown out. Last September, I came across an Instagram post that talked about using rice water rinse for hair growth. I don’t care about length as much as thickness and volume. I have always had thin hair and very little of it. Once in college, I got a partial refund after getting a perm because they “only used ⅓ of the solution.” I have spent most of my life looking for ways to volumize my hair. So when I came across rice water rinse, I was very interested since I only use natural products in my hair. Besides, rice water doesn’t cost me anything since I cook rice at least once a week.
As usual, I did a lot of research and watched a lot of YouTube videos. So in October, I decided to give it a try… and of course, I always take before and after photos. The before photo was taken on October 10, 2020, and the after was taken on January 10, 2021 (exactly three months later). I even had a trim and color in November, but you can see new hair growth that I can’t seem to tame (since I don’t use hair styling products). I tried my best to line up the photos so you can see how much my hair has grown in three months.
Since I’ve done a lot of research, let me save you some time. The video that was most helpful to me is the one below. It’s about 10-minutes, and this method is the one that works best for me. However, feel free to google “rice water rinse” for other methods.
Few other things I have learned are:
- Fermented brown rice water smells the worst, but it seems to work best on my hair. When I use fermented brown rice water, it also untangles my hair, and it feels soft.
- I’m always looking for time-saving and easy ways. Therefore, I usually soak rice overnight and drain the rice water in a mason jar in the morning to let it ferment for about 12 hours, then I put it in a spray bottle and refrigerate it for use the next day.
- I don’t use commercial shampoo and conditioner. The video recommends co-wash, but I have used my homemade shampoo (ingredients differ all the time, but I have been using bentonite clay lately) and conditioner (usually ACV & water) before the rice water rinse.
- I usually don’t use up all the rice water. I leave some behind to use on my skin for sunspots and blemishes.
- This has been easier because I’ve been working from home during the pandemic, and I can rinse my hair 20-30 minutes after. I have wondered if I need to shower at night once life goes back to pre-covid.
Well, here it is folks! I’m always opting for a healthier lifestyle that doesn’t cost much and realistically doable without completely changing my routine. This was an easy one, so give it a try and let me know how it works for you! By the way, you can also use rice water to water your plants!

Just two months to 2015 -let that sink in! Just two months! Where did the time go?
As we start with the dry and cool November, it's time to share my favorites from October. I did not get to play with makeup so much except for when I did the Halloween Looks! I was the Half Skull, The Thirsty Vampire and Stitched Up Insanity. After all the crazy Halloween Makeup I had to give my skin the much needed care and rest.
To try to keep it minimal, here's what I used the most and loved!
2. Nivea Body Lotion - Sensual Musk
The only time I use lotions for my body is in Autumn and Winter. I bought this back in July solely for its fragrance. I love love how it smells, I'm into musky fragrances. This not only smells good but kept my skin hydrated without feeling greasy -and that's all I want from a moisturizer, hydrating without being greasy. I have used it all through October and keeping it near throughout Autumn and Winter.
3. Amarante - One Last Time
I first came across this in a Kathleen Light's video and the music just stuck to my mind. There was something so soothing about it. When I finally found it on soundcloud, that's all I listened to. Amarante has such a beautiful variety of songs and there is some depth to each one of em -their lyrics and the music. This one in particular is my favorite!! I can't stop listening to it!! You must listen to it here and tell me if you liked it.
4. L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Cream
I use this religiously every night in Fall and Winter. In Summer, I use it on alternate days. I also like to use this under my foundation. This hydrates my skin so well without leaving it greasy. This gets rid of all the dry patches and leave my skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. I'll do a full review on this for sure!
5. Kryolan Cake Eyeliner - Black
I used this a lot for my Halloween looks (see them here) and did all my winged eyeliners with it. I found it so easy to use. just a little water to make it creamy and it glides on so smoothly. I was able to create some really precise winged lines with this amazing product!
6. Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge
This has to be my favorite for every month because this is what I use mostly for my foundation and blending the concealers! It blends so flawlessly giving that airbrushed look to the skin! It definitely is a steal for its price and the closest possible dupe for Beauty Blender. In fact according to Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill, it performs exactly like the Beauty Blender! It's a staple in my makeup kit!
I wanted to do dome Fall looks but after the Halloween makeup my skin just couldn't take more makeup so I'll definitely do a Fall makeup look this month. Let me know if you want to see any specific makeup look, I am not a makeup artist but will try my best (:
Let me know what were your favorites for the month of October? You know I love hearing from you guys <3
Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

If there's one place that makes hair removal a pleasant experience its at Pure Wax Bar
Where It all Began...
Thank you for being here.
Hi, My Name is Nellie, a wife, mom of two beautiful girls, and the Founder of Pure Wax Bar. September 8th, 2020 in the middle of the Pandemic Pure Wax began and this is why. I am middle eastern. Growing up I always struggled with coarse, dark hair, ingrowns, all the things. In a nutshell, I was bullied a lot in school one of the reasons, being my body hair.
Fast forward, I started getting waxed and my level of confidence grew beyond what I could have even thought at the time. In 2017 I became an Esthetician. I opened Pure from the Pure love and mission I have for helping individuals gain more confidence and witnessing the impact hair removal has on many lives. Now that I'm a mom it impacts me in a new way. Saves me TIME. I strive to educate all the women and young women who are struggling with the same things I did that there is an amazing alternative to constantly shaving. I love waxing so much that in order to stretch it even further to reach more lives the only way to do it was TEAM. I now get to share my passion and teach others the art of waxing and the techniques I mastered to make waxing as comfortable as possible. I now have the privilege to work alongside like-minded women with the same passion I do for waxing and people. Pure wouldn't be possible without their help today reaching more hearts in our Spokane community <3

What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are silk, mink, or lightweight synthetic lashes applied directly on natural lashes. The extensions are applied using a semi-permanent adhesive by a professional lash artist.
Additionally, the extensions are mostly applied on the top lash line, and they are applied either in “clusters” or “fans” or individually.
When using lash extensions, especially if it’s the first time, you might fear having unnatural results or allergic reactions. This is why it is necessary to consider all the factors before using eyelash extensions to get your desired look.
What is Full-Set / Fill / Fill+?
Well, like you might have guessed, a full set is a type of eyelash extension procedure that involves a full-coverage of the eyelashes. This means that an individual eyelash extension is applied for every natural lash that you have, leaving the lashes to look very full and long
FILL – Lash extension fills are simply new lashes placed on natural lashes as the old ones are about to fall off. Ideally, your client should come in every two to four weeks, but longer wait times may mean a longer treatment time as more lashes will need to be filled. (Up to 2.5 weeks)
Fill + - A fill + service is for a person that currently has eyelash extension on. A Fill + service is a service we charge for clients that have passed the 2.5 weeks mark and for some of our outside fill clients that are coming from a different salon to fill. Usually if you have lost more than 60% of lashes and is under one month. Outside fills will require consultation from the stylist to see if we can proceed with the fill. If fill is not possible, the stylist may recommend a Full-Set . (3-4 weeks, before one month)
What is Lash Lift?
What Is a Lash Lift?
“A lash lift curls your lash from base to tip so that you can see the full length,” explains Clementina Richardson, celebrity lash expert and founder of Envious Lashes in New York City and Miami. All lashes have a natural shape to them, so this process alters that shape via a tiny curling rod and a lifting solution. (It’s not as scary as it sounds, as your eyes are closed as it’s applied but yes, there are some chemicals involved.) The treatment should always be performed by a licensed professional.
The difference between the two
Difference between Eyelash Extensions and Eyelash Lift
Although both the treatments are used to make the lashes longer, fuller and alluring, however, they work differently. Eyelash extensions involve the bonding of individual lashes to your natural
lashes with the help of a medical grade adhesive by an experienced artist to make them look physically fuller and longer.
On the other hand, a lash lift involves the natural curling and perming of your lashes to make them appear longer and fuller. So, the lash lifts give an enhanced look to your natural lashes while the eyelash extensions can be used for a rather dramatic effect. Ultimately, it all comes down to your preference.
The Pros and Cons
Pros and Cons between Eye-Lash Extensions and Lash lift
Pros of Lash Lifts
The biggest pro of lash lift is that they look absolutely natural as compared to the extensions. Another benefit of the lash lifts is that they help you in sorting the untamed lashes which start to crisscross or get twisted. A great lash lift makes them manageable by straightening them. Another great advantage associated with the lash lifts is that the maintenance every 8-12 weeks vs every 2-4 weeks with extensions and since you are using your very own natural lashes, there aren’t as many associated irritation
Cons of Lash Lifts
One of the biggest cons of the lash lifts is that many people can’t get theirs lifted for being too short. So, there are various limitations as you are helpless about the capabilities of your natural lashes. For instance, if they are too short, you can’t get them curled up to give the effect that you might be looking for.
Pros of Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions if done right are the best thing that can happen to a woman. They give the most dramatic look to your eyes and would be particularly perfect if your wedding is coming up. They make your mornings much more relaxing as you don’t have to worry about putting on makeup and can simply step out without applying any mascara and yet looking fabulous with those popping eyes and alluring lashes.
Cons of Eyelash Extensions
You cannot risk getting them applied from anyone as it is a job for a professional artist to apply them properly as you wouldn’t want your lashes to look clumpy. If not properly applied, they would have to be taken out and in doing so may harm your natural lashes. And the biggest drawback of the lash extensions is their high maintenance as they last for only a month and may also need a touch up in between.
How to choose the right one for you?
In order to choose the best one for you, it is important to know what type of look you want to attain. If you want a dramatic look, go for the extensions while for a natural look, lash lift would be more suitable. Furthermore, if you have short lashes, lash extensions would be the best solution for you.
"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art"

Avoid Water, Sweat, and Hot Tubs Within the First 48 Hours
Avoiding water, sweat, and hot tubs helps the glue to set perfectly around the extensions. Waiting for this time allows the lashes to last longer.
You can wash the rest of your face but avoid water coming into contact with the eye area. Additionally, avoid steaming your face, washing your hair, and yoga during this time since it is impossible to carry out these activities without interfering with the extension glue.
Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes
This rule applies during the first 48 hours when the glue has not yet set. Rubbing your eyes could also transfer germs to lashes, leading to infections of your eyes.
After 48 hours, it is safe to touch or rub your eyes. However, as long as you have the eyelash extensions on, you should avoid rubbing your eyes as much as possible to help keep the extensions in place.
Avoid Eye Makeup
Using eye makeup in the first 48 hours after application is not advised.
After 48 hours, as the eyelash extensions make your eyes pop, you can skip the eye makeup altogether. But if you must use eye products, go for oil-free makeup and apply light strokes to prevent the lashes from falling off.
Protect Your Lashes in The Shower
Eyelash extensions should not disrupt your shower routine, especially after the first 48 hours.
Unfortunately, if you are not careful, it is possible to ruin the extensions with water. Consider purchasing a Lashbrella Shower Shield from Amazon, which will help avoid water running into your lashes when you shower.

With its ability to properly hydrate the skin, coconut oil can be used as a natural way to keep the scalp moist, so it is believed to eliminate dandruff. How to use it quite easily, apply coconut oil to the scalp and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Perform routine for 8 weeks to get optimal results.
The natural way to get rid of dandruff using baking soda is fairly easy. You only need to apply baking soda to the wet hair evenly, then leave it for 1-2 minutes before shampooing. Baking soda can help get rid of dandruff because it has anti-fungal properties. Dandruff and itching problems that appear may be resolved if you do this treatment routinely for several weeks.
The content of fatty acids found on aloe vera is anti-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory, so it can overcome the inflammation of the scalp that causes itching and the appearance of dandruff. To use aloe vera as a dandruff remover, you can apply aloe vera gel directly to the scalp and leave it for 1 hour. Do it regularly to get maximum results.
Despite the need for further research, apple vinegar is believed to be able to overcome the problem of dandruff, because the acid content is able to lift dead skin cells on the head which is the cause of dandruff. In addition, apple vinegar is considered able to balance the scalp pH, so as to reduce and inhibit the growth of fungi that cause dandruff.

Doing your makeup for Pride is an all-important moment that requires great focus and concentration, and not a little ingenuity – and many people are interested in figuring out the best ways to make sure they look incredible. So, what are the best Pride makeup ideas that haven’t been overdone and will let you stand out from the crowd?
You have a ton of choices here, including things like rainbow eyes, love heart eyes, metallic rainbow blush, or rainbow face paint. Rhinestones are very Pride-focused, and you can use these to glitz up any outfit. Alternatively, opt for some subtle lavender hues, embrace the power of pink, or go for super bright lips. Colorful hair and body art are also great options.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’ve got bucketloads, so don’t worry – keep reading and you’ll soon have a Pride makeup setup to amaze anybody.
Rainbow eyes may not sound like the most unique idea out there – but that’s because you may not be thinking outside the box about all the incredible ways in which you can approach this! There are tons of amazing things you can do to make your rainbow eyes stand out from the crowd.
The first option is a basic blended hue of colors, but choose some pearlescent eyeshadow to make it stand out. This can be a very stunning approach, even if it’s one of the simpler ones. You can also color your eyebrows to match, which looks stunning. However, if you’re wondering about something a little more unique…
Why not paint a rainbow arc from eyelid to eyelid, framing your face with bright color? Alternatively, paint rainbow streaks running down from your lids, like beautiful tears – a lovely expression of the sorrow behind the celebration. If that doesn’t click for you, you could consider creating a bright rainbow mask, as though attending a masked ball. Leave the rest of your face bare, and it will stand out beautifully.
Other people have created a rainbow running through one or the other eye and streaking down across the face, which looks dazzling, especially when paired with rainbow earrings or a rainbow scarf. Really, you can get as inventive as you like with this technique!
Love Heart Eyes
Love heart eyes are another great way to celebrate Pride, and could be a better option if you’re not so fond of bright colors and you want to move away from the more standard rainbow. Love hearts can be painted on in any color, and you can even use a mini stamp if you have one.
To complete this technique to the best effect, it’s often a good idea to create yourself a backdrop of eye shadow in one block color, such as blue or pink. Next, take a makeup wipe and swipe a clear line in the eye shadow, above your eye.
Now take your stamp and choose your color(s) and then stamp some little hearts onto the clear skin. If you don’t have a stamp but your hands are steady, you can also draw them on, and they’ll still look amazing.
Metallic Rainbow Blush
It doesn’t have to be the eyes you decorate – why not make your whole face into an incredible artwork of color by applying some metallic rainbow blush to your cheeks? Metallic makeup is classy, whimsical, and oh-so-beautiful, and it’s not even all that expensive.
Whether you’re a guy or a girl, you will look incredible with some rainbow blush decorating your face and highlighting your cheekbones, so definitely consider this as an option, especially if you want something simple that you can put together in just a few minutes.
Rainbow Face Paint
For something more elaborate, rainbow face paint could be the best option out there. Choose a myriad of bright colors and then decorate your face any way you want, whether that’s drawing feathers on your cheeks, painting on some swirls, writing an important phrase, or adding a few flowers – anything can look amazing when it’s in vivid colors.
Rainbow face paint is inexpensive and versatile, meaning you’ll have some left for many Pride marches to come (and other events too), and there are endless designs just waiting to be created. It doesn’t take too much skill with a brush to make your face look phenomenal! If you get inspired, why not move onto your upper arms or neck/chest/any other exposed skin too?
If you want to bring some glitz and glamor to your outfit, why not consider creating a splash of rhinestones across your face? Whether you opt for just one zizzy color or go for the whole rainbow look, this is an incredible way to decorate your body for Pride.
Again, there are many different options here. Some people create arced rainbows on their faces – forehead or cheeks will work for this. Alternatively, a streak of rainbow across one side of your face would look incredible too.
If that’s not you, a few flashy rhinestones around your eyes is always an amazing way to decorate, or you could outline your brows in winking sparkles. Still not sure? A few tasteful sparkles around your hairline might be the option for you, lending you an air of mystery and beauty while leaving most of your face clear.
You can get larger, shaped gems to stick on your face if you prefer, and some incredible art has been created with these. Try heart-shaped or diamond-shaped rhinestones, or go for a mix and create pictures on your own skin. You will wow everybody at the celebration, that’s for sure!
Lavender is very much a color associated with the LGBTQ+ world, and for good reason – it’s got a long history. If you don’t want to go all out on the colors, a bit of lavender rarely goes amiss. It’s more subdued, but that’s very much what some people want, and it’s often a unique option among the clouds of rainbow you’ll see at Pride.
You could opt for lavender eye shadow or lavender blush, or go for the full lavender look, with eyeliner and lipstick and everything. Add some hints of lavender around your hairline, or match your makeup to your outfit, and you’ll be a stand-out figure in the crowd, without having to crack out any other colors!
Pink is just as popular (if not more so), and gosh, that’s not surprising when you see some of the incredibly vibrant pink makeup people create for themselves. Shocking pink eyes, pink lashes, or pink hearts are all excellent starting points, and you can add in other, darker tones or stick to the bright ones.
Draw some pink stars on your cheeks, add a bit of pink blush, or spice it up with pink rhinestones. Consider coloring your hair pink or choose a pink outfit, and you’ll be one of the brightest of the bunch – and certainly one of the most unique.
Not everybody loves pink, but there’s no question that this bold color is loud and proud, making it perfect for Pride. A fully pink ensemble might be a bit much for some, but pink makeup is a wonderful starting point, and you can easily match it to your nails for a coordinated look.
The lips have been neglected somewhat so far, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect yours – here’s an incredible blank canvas for you to work on. A solid block of bright color is a very effective way to do Pride makeup; theme it with your outfit or other makeup to ensure it looks put together.
Alternatively, go for a few stripes of different colors. Blue, purple, and teal look amazing together, as do orange, yellow, and red. If you’re with a group of friends, why not coordinate and match your lips to create a full rainbow? You’ll certainly look incredible!
If that’s not for you, how about some rainbow, glittery lip gloss for that irresistibly shiny, tempting glaze of color?
Makeup doesn’t have to be limited to your face; depending on your outfit, you might be showing a lot of other skin you can work with. Many people get particularly creative when painting on their arms, chests, stomachs, or legs – so consider the whole canvas of your body with care.
You might want to splash a rainbow across your skin, paint stars on your body, write your pronouns, or capture your favorite phrase about love and acceptance. You could draw love hearts, extend the rhinestones theme, or paint psychedelic swirls across your skin.
No matter what you go for, body art is very attention-grabbing, and it’s easy to find unique ideas that speak to the heart of who you are and what Pride means to you.
As you can see, there are lots of unique options when it comes to doing your makeup for Pride – grab the makeup brushes and get busy. Sparkles, rainbows, glitter, and fun; it’s all at your fingertips, and this day is an opportunity to be your brightest, best, wackiest self. Remember, anything goes at Pride!

Face masks are skin care products that provide nutrition to the skin.
Regarding the mask linen type of mask, the sachet includes a high concentration of ingredients plus essence. So , using the mask sheet or any mask for that matter, too frequently could irritate the skin. Mask sheets are very affordable but it doesn’t mean you should just use one everyday.
The particular frequency of mask application must be around every 2nd or 3rd day.
Prior to Applying Facial Mask
Double cleanse well. Even if you have a tendency put on make up, your facial skin continues to be exposed to the dirt and air pollution in the air which will only fill your own pores.
Good idea to open the pores so that when you apply the face mask, all the nutrition is instantly absorbed into your face. Cover your face with a steamy towel or bathe your face with warm water and chamomile tea bag.
Follow the directions. Utilize a face mask sheet for the timeframe suggested in the directions.
If you use dirt face masks, apply an even coating on your face, avoiding sensitive locations such as eyes and mouth.
After Applying the particular Facial Mask
You can soothe and maintain your moist and nourished pores and skin by applying plenty of moisturizing cream or lotion. If you used a linen type face mask, you can just dab your face with the remaining essence on the face.

Visiting the Victoria Gardens
The Marquesado de la Quinta Roja Garden is a beautiful and historic garden that is part of the Quinta Roja estate, which was originally owned by the Marquis of Quinta Roja, a noble family from the 17th century.
The Marquesado de la Quinta Roja Garden features a wide variety of plants and flowers, including a large collection of tropical and subtropical plants. The garden is known for its beautiful fountains, statues, and pathways, which are designed to take visitors on a journey through the garden’s many different areas.
One of the most impressive features of the Marquesado de la Quinta Roja Garden is the large, central fountain, which is surrounded by a circular pool and beautiful, symmetrical pathways. The garden also features several smaller fountains, ponds, and water features, which add to its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
In addition to its natural beauty, the Marquesado de la Quinta Roja Garden is also of historical significance. The garden is located on the site of an ancient Guanche settlement, and many of the plants and flowers found in the garden have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.
Parking near the venue can be very tricky especially in the narrow streets in La Orotava so we recommend this parking spot.


It boggles the mind just how much misinformation there is out there regarding skin treatment products. You most likely see a lot of aloe Vera skin care products on the market yet the inquiry available is: do they truly function? Aloe Vera has been utilized for centuries for medical objectives. It is effective in relaxing pest bites, inflammation, and sunburn. Nevertheless, in this day and age is aloe Vera a sensible active ingredient in skin care?
Aloe Vera skin products are nearly everywhere. The problem with mainstream aloe Vera products is the truth that they are laden with chemical ingredients. Certain, aloe Vera is a recovery ingredient that is highly reliable as an active ingredient in skin therapies but its performance is lost when it’s combined with synthetic chemical active ingredients. Artificial chemical active ingredients can harm your skin and cause early aging.
Aloe Vera skin care
Another problem with is that it hasn’t stayed up to date with the most recent clinical studies. Exfoliate dead skin with dead sea salt scrub There are products available which contain active ingredients clinically created to work in synergy with each other so you can see remarkable results. In addition, there are brand-new ingredients that are rigorously checked in labs and naturally refined using the most up to date technology in order to achieve maximum performance. Aloe Vera skin products will always be useful in skin care however if you wish to moisten your skin properly and reverse the indications of aging, you require to make use of more than simply aloe Vera products.
These three components are more efficient than aloe Vera skin treatment products because they get to the origin of the 3 leading reasons for aging which are the loss of collagen and elastin, the loss of hyaluronic acid, and the damages brought on by totally free radicals. They also have distinct healing residential properties that make your skin appearance vibrant and revitalized. Do on your own a favour and get the aloe vera skin care products for sunburns and cuts. There’s no refuting the fact that aloe vera is an effective active ingredient in healing skin but when it concerns daily skin care, there are brand-new products that are much premium and a lot more efficient.

If it smells as though you are being airbrushed into a somber and monochromatic existence... if it smells like a celebrity was overpaid to read to you from an inane, over-written script... if it smells like an unlikely romantic adventure that necessitates wind-swept hair and narration by a raspy-voiced European... we'll have to revisit our formula.

(Please note that because of varying skin types and conditions, this advice may not work for everyone.)
For the body
I lotion everything. Yes. Everything. However, I think the most important body parts to lotion are your face, chest, arms, and legs (see? everything). I'll address the face later though. I always try to lotion after shaving. Your skin is most vulnerable after you shave, because the razor scrapes off of a layer of skin. If you use chemical hair removers (Nair or Epil Stop), some don't damage skin as much, but you're still putting chemicals on your skin.
Tip: If you're using lotion or body cream without shaving, rub the lotion in the direction that you want the hair to grow/lay, so if you're using it on your legs, rub downward, toward you foot. It will take a few times doing this, but eventually the hairs will lay in the same direction.
Now, when I said lotion your chest, I did mean what you think I meant. I mean the collar bone area and the breasts, so the whole chest. It's important to moisturize the collar bone area, just as it is important to put sunblock on it, because it's prone to sun damage. The breasts, well, supposedly lotion helps prevent sagging. I have no information to confirm or deny this.
I've used a variety of body lotions, but I think my favorite so far has been Ulta's Berry Crush Hand and Body Cream (which of course I can't find online anywhere). I like the scent and consistency of it, and I got it at a really cheap price when it was on sale (I think it was $2 for a small tube that lasted a few months of weekly use).
For the face
I have tried, and still use, so much stuff on my face, trying to find what's perfect for my skin type and particular issues. So, again, this may not work for everyone. The picture to the left is the best, most recent picture that I have that shows the skin on my face (click to enlarge). It's pretty smooth, and this is all of the stuff that I do to keep it that way.
At night before bed, I wash my face with Clean & Clear Daily Pore Cleanser©. I have major issues with my pores, they're huge! Like craters! So of course I'm bound to go for a pore scrub. It also of course helps with typical acne, but because it has micro-scrubbers, it can be rough on pimples, so if you're issue is more with pimples than pores, you'll definitely want to try something different. The micro-scrubbers also help smooth skin in general and get rid of any leftover dirt or makeup that regular showering or makeup cleansers leave behind.
Tip: Before using this wash, I wipe off makeup with Walgreens Make-Up Remover Cleansing Cloth Towlettes©. They work just as well as the (more expensive) Neutrogena ones and get off all of my makeup, including my water-proof eyeliner.
For my acne, I have a $5 tube of 5% benzoyl peroxide cream (Kaiser Permanente brand). I'm fairly confident that any brand of benzoyl peroxide will work just the same, though, and you can also get 10% by prescription. Whenever a particularly bad pimple shows up, I dab this on it, and it speeds up the healing process. I do not recommend using this on your whole face, as it will dry everything out horribly, even if you use moisturizer.
Twice a day, once before applying makeup and once after washing before bed, I use Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer©. It moisturizes and (supposedly) fights acne. Since I haven't had any horrible bouts of acne in a long time since beginning using this, I'm fairly confident that it works, and it definitely makes my skin a lot softer.
I also have horrible under-eye bags and wrinkles. In an attempt to combat them, I use Garnier Skin-Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller© two to three times a day. After using this product for about a year, I still can't come to a conclusion about it. The up-side is that one roller has lasted me this long, the down-side is that I still have under-eye bags and wrinkles. However, I'm also Vitamin D deficient, anemic, and an insomniac, all of which contribute to this issue. So, I believe that the eye-roller does help as much as it can, it just can't completely get rid of my under-eye bags.
Tip: For covering under-eye bags, try using a yellow-tinted concealer, the yellow contrasts the purple/blue. If your under-eye bags are puffy (like mine) use slightly more/thicker concealer in the lower creases, usually near the inner eye/nose.
A while back, I posted about Almay Blemish Reducer. I have since stopped using it, but I can't fully figure out why. I still fully recommend it, I think that the powder just got annoying to put on or something, I also couldn't sleep with it on, so I couldn't use it at night like I can with the scrubbers and lotion that I use now. I've also expanded my daily makeup routine and had to cut a few things out that just didn't work with everything, and unfortunately, this was one of them. I still fully recommend it for how well it works, it just didn't fit into my daily skin-care routine.
So that's about it, then. I'll either post again or come back and update this if/when I find new things. I also may or may not post about my varying makeup routines and recommendations. I'm really wanting to at least post about my basic cosplay makeup routine (with theatrical makeup).


I've spent the last few weeks working away on some lovely editorial commissions hence why I haven't posted here for a bit. They're not published yet so I can't share them with you but I will as soon I can.
Besides that I also spent a weekend away visiting family and during that trip we went to Ickworth House. I love visiting properties like this, getting a glimpse of the past and strolling around gardens. The gardens here included a stumpery, I'd never heard of it before, but it's like a secret little garden made up of upturned tree stumps that have then been left dotted around so other plants can grow up around them. Sometimes the stumps are shaped into animals and so on as was the case with some here. It was beautiful day when we visited which was very lucky indeed. There may well be some work inspired by this trip!
I also loved this inventive scarecrow.
There were also some rather beautiful Dahlias in the garden, look at the perfection!
I hope you've had a lovely weekend. The days are getting shorter but I do love this time of year, it's still not too cold and the trees look so beautiful with all the leaves changing colour.
I'll be back soon :).
