Natural way,the way to go.

According to Mail Online British women spend £450 for their nails to be done .When we hear of a wedding,birthday party or any special event we want to attend we all want to look good on the day. We even go to our beautician for acrylic nails.The coming of these nails came at the rescue for some of us who are used to nail biting,  it even made the nails look extremely lovely. 

However, since they are completely artificial, manufactured from chemical compounds, they also come with their own consequences that we must know.

CONS OF ACRYLIC NAILS.

No matter how beautiful they may look, and no matter how experienced a beautician we go to, for application of acrylic nails, these nails will not look realistic and hence natural nails will always be the best compared to artificial ones.

They are incapable of protecting our original nails.If the acrylic nails bend or twist due to some reason like doing laundry or plates, it could be very painful to you original nails.

Sometimes when you remove the acrylic nails the natural nails could have changed their color.This is also a way of saying that nothing can substitute healthy, strong,natural nails.

If one does not properly remove acrylic nails after use, it might cause health problems or even damage your original nails. The material used to bond the acrylic nail to the ones we have naturally, may harm the nails or the skin around it as chemical made.Sometimes the acetone we use to remove our nails might make our skin react. Thus, one should be extra careful while removing the acrylic nails.

If done poorly there is a high risk of damaging the natural nail. This can lead to nasty things such as fungus and infection.

As much as we want to cut costs by  doing acrylic nails ourselves we are prone to risking the our nails.If you do any harm while applying the nails visit the nearest clinic. 

 

BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT YOUR NAILS BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR NAILS IT'S NO JOKING MATTER.

Winter is the most stressful season and we do not want to catch flue. However, it  also means  new winter boots in the market with different labels. We must not compromise style instead of protecting our feet from cold. Make sure you consider some of the following features and shop wisely when buying a pair of winter boots.

Warmth

Warmth is obviously a major concern when shopping for winter boots. Make sure you look at the material used inside the boots. Materials that are known for warmth include cotton and has a lot of advantages that you can want in boots hence make sure to look at the material used inside the boots.

 

Stretchability

When boots can stretch you have the ability to wear socks inside and this gives you more warmth .

Comfort

We can not talk about boots without talking about comfort. This is an important aspect to consider when buying boots. We travel a lot of distance wearing boots or we wear boots for the whole day. In particular, a good boot should support the foot and the arch and encourage good walking posture. So make sure when you are buying your boots you must be there so that you can fit you boots and walk at least one meter distance in the shop to see if the boots make you feel good and comfortable in them.

 

Waterproof Boots

We all do not  want that snow, light rain not to get into our boots when we are wearing them. So make sure you look for boots with a. A cuff  is a an extra layer of material that curves at the top of the boot to form a kind of collar. It prevents snow to get into the boot, and encourages the snow to fall to the outside of the boot.

 

Lightweight Winter Boots

Lightweight winter boots are more comfortable and a pleasure to wear. In a winter season the weather is harsh and we do not want to burden our feet with heavy weight boots. Make sure you look at what you buy and choose the most light boots that you feel you can have the potential to left up when you are walking.

Eye lashes a risk to natural eyebrow

FAKE EYELASHES (pic taken from beautyhows.com)

Eyelashes, is the hair that grows from the tips of the eyelids and protect your eye. 

Eye lashes extensions  add length, fullness and thickness to natural eyelashes. A surgical-grade adhesive is used to connect the extension to the natural eyebrow. According to UK Saloons blog  extensions there are actually three different kinds of lashes are available in different colors, lengths and thicknesses. One procedure lasts around two hours and the extension lasts from three weeks to a couple of months depending on the quality of work and materials used.

Side Effects of Eyelash Extensions

Damage to Natural Eyelashes

In some cases, the adhesive used to connect the natural and artificial eyelash can break the natural eyelash. Some people can even have permanent hair loss due to this condition.

Eye Infection or Injury

The process of attaching the eyelash extensions is very dangerous since the tools come in close proximity to the eyes. Also, it is important to be careful regarding eye irritation. The adhesive should be carefully applied in order to prevent reaching the eyes. Even the slightest eye irritation can cause severe eye infection.

Eye Sensitivity

The adhesive can cause sensitivity and irritation to the skin. This is why it is important first to check if it does. People with sensitive skin usually suffer from rashes and irritation due to the adhesive. Eye irritation and sensitivity can cause infection that can lead to eye damage or even vision loss.

To add on we cannot deny that eyelashes are a universal symbol of beauty. Women, who generally want longer lashes, typically have shorter ones . Alternative products can be used to improve your natural eye lashes . Products such as mascara will make your eyelashes look longer.

However, it is really up to you if you can accept these risk for beauty.

Better Home,better gardening

Gardening is one of the chores that a lot of women hate doing. When I was young I used to get angry when my mother made me help my cousin brother to do gardening. However, as I grew up I realised the importance of gardening. Growing your own vegetable garden can do more and whether you are using a community garden or backyard garden .A lot of us we do not know the advantages of gardening but rather we only view them as labor intensive. Gardens provide tasty produce, gardening can improve health and save money.

The experience of eating first fresh-picked vegetables can be sublime. "I've had people say it was the best taste they've ever had. Most of the farmers in bid to increase their produce so as to meet their demand for profit making they tend to use chemical fertilizers to quicken maturity of plants hence resulting in vegetables losing their taste. However, with a garden at you home you can plant vegetables without using any chemicals to quicken maturity giving your produce the taste that is unique.

Gardens are the best way we can improve our health. Not only are you getting fresh produce that are readily available but doing the garden chores can help you exercise that assists you in improve your body shape.

Sometimes we get to spend a lot of money on buying something we always have the ability to do.  Gardening will not only save money but it helps you know where the plants are coming from and how are they produced.

Gardening can save the community. In a community garden it is a program that helps everyone .It is a program that is owned communal were those interested in farming teach each other about farming skills. The program benefits the community by clearly giving skills and values you can have forever.

So ladies lets shift to gardening and enjoy the benefits.

Every year on 9 August a public holiday is observed for Women’s Day in South Africa,a public holiday that celebrates the women who fought tirelessly against the tyranny of the Apartheid government. All around the world,the 8th of March marked the celebration of International Women's Day. An opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality world wide.In 1909, the Socialist Party of America organized a New York City march commemorating a garment workers’ strike the previous year. The party called it National Women’s Day, and women organized by the group demonstrated for better pay and working conditions, as well as the right to vote, according to the International Women's Day website.

International Women's Day theme was "Make it Happen" while across countries some nations had they own theme just to fit to the context their live in.In Zimbabwe the theme was " Linking women to markets: Changing Face of Development through Zim Asset." When i was growing up i knew a little about the day, it was just like any other day until i grew up to be a women myself and not forgetting the reading of books and updates from the media enabled me to extensively widen my knowledge about this day. Not only is the International Women's Day a celebration of being a woman but it embraces more like the struggle of women to be recognized in a patriarchal society and marking the economic, political and social achievements of women.

Avoid Winter Flue

We are about to get in a season called winter. A season known for colds and flue 

Flue is a disease also known as influenza and is said to be a respiratory infection caused by a lot of viruses. It usually affects people aged above 65 and people with long-term health conditions like diabetes and kidney disease are mostly at risk of getting flue.

Symptoms of flue are

-high fever

-A cough and/or sore throat

-A runny or stuffy nose

-Headaches and/or body aches

-Fatigue

-Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea (most common in children)

Simple ways to reduce chances of getting flu

1)Try to avoid close contact with sick people.People are much physically closer during winter, this makes it easier for infections.If you are using public transport always open windows and at home MAKE SURE THE WINDOWS IN YOUR HOUSE ARE OPENED TO ALLOW CIRCULATION OF FRESH AIR.

2)Always keep keep warm.Wrap yourself with warm clothes. Wear shoes with a good grip if you need to go outside. If you can, always stay inside during a cold weather.

 3)Heat your home to make it stay warm.

Mother-child bond

We always hear experts saying the first time that a mother and child bond is during the first few hours after birth.Bonding refers to your feelings for and sense of connection to your child that begins before birth and usually develops very quickly in the first weeks after the baby is born. Bonding, or the development of trust between a mother and her child, begins from the moment the two are brought together.The bond between parent and child is one of the strongest connections in nature.Mother-child bonding is not a process that enlists not just our hearts, but our brains, hormones, nerves, and almost every part of our bodies. During this time mothers often breastfeed their children and hold them close, thus keeping the two in physical contact for the first precious hours and days of the infant’s life.

Mother-child bonding(picture downloaded from the internet)

Bond is such an amazing thing that a mother and a child would want to experience.However,with the increase in technology some bonds have been washed away while some have been reinstated. We can not deny the negative and positive impact of technology on the mother to child bond. I still remember when we started face-booking my friend used to complain that she was friends with her mother on Facebook.It made her feel like her mother was spying on her and she was in position where she felt like her mother was now going to have access to the information that she sent out to her friends.

 As much as we go to that extreme of trying to maintain or build strong bonds with our children sometimes we overdo it such that our daughters think that they are being watched.The way we want mothers and children create better relationships is that a case of mothers letting daughters fail and not fix everything for them. They can make sure that if their children are upset about something, they can do active listening, rather than feel their daughters' pain.A mother's job is listening not talk all the times so that a child enables to communicate whatever issues makes them sad.They give their daughters the opportunity to step back and try to fix the problem themselves. 

The problem when mothers fix things for their children is that it erodes daughters' self-esteem or it doesn't allow it to develop thus creating a dependance syndrome of " my mother can fix it all." It makes children feel like they can't do things by themselves.  

In all you do remember to Invest in TIME with your children make sure you have time for your child regardless of your busy schedule that way it will make them feel important
