Spring Cleaning Your Beauty Products

Frida Kahlo LifestyleBeauty

When was the last time you took a moment to go through your makeup collection? One of the best beauty tips you will come across is making sure you spend time every three to six months taking note of what you’ve got, reading expiry dates, and making sure everything is hygienic and clean.

Believe it or not, paying attention to your makeup and beauty products is in the best interests of your health, so here’s how to start taking better care of your products.

Read Expiry Dates

Even though you’d pay close attention the expiry date of your dairy products in your fridge, most people are less likely to take the same care with their beauty products. However, over time, beauty products such as foundation, lotions, and serums, can all lose their structural integrity and become less than ideal for use. Reading an expiry date on a regular basis is even more critical if it’s a product which you use minimal amounts of. It tends to sit around longer, losing its effectiveness by the day.

Replace Makeup Application Tools

One of the most common beauty tips when it comes to makeup application is ensuring you replace and clean your makeup brushes and sponges. A sponge can harbour all kinds of bacteria, while a brush can become clogged with makeup that makes application challenging over time.

Grinding Your Teeth

Grinding Your Teeth? Here’s How to Stop

Frida Kahlo LifestyleHealth

While you might find yourself grinding your teeth as you concentrate at work or carry something heavy, did you know you can do it sub-consciously while you sleep as well? According to Dentist Joondalup, grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism to dentists, is when you clench your jaw together and put force on your teeth while rubbing them against each other. While you might be able to control it when you’re awake, it’s a little more complicated while you are sleeping.

How Do You Know You Grind Your Teeth in Your Sleep?

Because you’re asleep, you’re not going to know you’re a sufferer of bruxism. However, there are a few telling signs of which you might like to be made aware. If you wake up with a headache, a sore jaw, your mouth muscles are aching, your ears hurt or you’re feeling stiff around your face, neck, or shoulders, then you could be grinding your teeth in your sleep.

What’s more, a trip to the dentist can also show that your teeth are affected by your teeth grinding. Your dentist might spot some abnormal wear, some teeth might be fractured, and some might even be on the brink of falling out. Bruxism can be quite damaging to your teeth and jaw.

Why Do You Grind Your Teeth?

There are many theories surrounding why some people suffer from bruxism, but the evidence is quite limited. According to the Bruxism Association, if you’re a smoker, a drinker, you consume a lot of caffeine or have a sleeping disorder, you may be more prone to teeth grinding. What’s more, if you’re stressed or anxious, there might be a link there as well.

Right Footwear

How to Choose the Right Footwear for Training

Frida Kahlo LifestyleFitness

Believe it or not, choosing the first pair of gym shoes or sneakers you see to begin your new fitness routine may not be the best decision to make. While the shoes might be on sale or are a recommended brand, your needs when it comes to footwear are unique. Therefore, you need to put time and effort into choosing the right shoes for your training requirements.

Most shoes on the market fall into one of four categories;

Motion control –  more supportive, rigid, and heavy – better for runners who are a little heavy-footed or have flat feet.

Stability – better for those who roll their feet inward when they run.

Cushioned – decent, all-around gym shoe that is both comfortable and supportive.

Minimalist – best way in which to feel like you’re running in bare feet with a little bit of support.

Very few people realise how shoes can differ both in style and support, but it’s crucial to help you choose the right pair of shoes for your fitness training requirements. However, with all these unique features on offer from one manufacturer to the next, you also need to pay particular attention to how comfortable they are.

Frida Kahlo LifestyleTravel

If your budget doesn’t quite stretch to amazing getaways in Bali or fancy resorts, then maybe your holiday destination needs to be a little closer to home. When was the last time you ventured out of your house to discover what your own town or city has to offer? Have you noticed the many tourist destinations? Have you gone shopping and discovered the various hot spots and hives of activity? If you’re trapped in the daily nine-to-five grind with no time or inclination to see what your area has to offer, then it might be time to start. Here’s how to be a tourist in your own town.

Try a New Restaurant

Everyone has their favourite restaurant they frequent. Usually, you stick with the same items off the menu and tend to shy away from anything different. Whether there’s a new restaurant in town or one you haven’t tried before, why not make an effort to visit? Grab some friends or loved ones and make a booking. You may discover it becomes your new favourite in no time. Try out find Perth Restaurant lists in Newspapers, or online

Head to Tourist Hotspots

Every medium-to-large sized town has something to offer tourists. Whether it’s a monument dedicated to a moment in time, a museum, or an experience. If you’ve never taken time out of your day to visit those areas that bring in tourists in their droves, then there’s no time like the present. While your budget might not stretch to Bali villas and long-haul flights, it might be large enough for you to buy passes to local attractions and events.

Bridesmaids Gifts

Benefits of Personalised Robes

Frida Kahlo LifestyleRelationships

When you’re looking for bridesmaids gifts before your wedding day arrives, you will no doubt be pulling your hair out. After all, what could you possibly buy them that would ever be enough to repay them for their time and support? However, there is one option that more and more brides-to-be are discovering as the best gift for bridesmaids. Here are a few of the many benefits associated with choosing a personalised robe for your bridal party.

Unique

Rather than buy bridesmaids gifts that are generic – such as soaps, gift hampers, and vouchers, you can opt for something that no one else will have. Personalised robes are a unique gift into which you’ve put a lot of time. What’s more, it’s a reminder for years to come for your best friends that they were an integral part of your big day.

Affordable

As you know, preparing for your wedding is expensive. In fact, according to the Bride to Be Magazine, the average Australian wedding now costs around $65,000 – a significant increase on even just a few years ago. With this in mind, it’s always in your best interests to hunt for bridesmaids gifts that won’t break the bank, but will be enjoyed all the same. Personalised robes fit that bill perfectly. Even though your bridal party will adore them, they are a far cheaper alternative to other bridesmaids gifts on the market.

Drug Rehab

Why Your Family Can Benefit from Drug Rehab Too

Frida Kahlo LifestyleHealth

When you’re struggling with an addiction, you’re not the only one who’s suffering. Your family is too. Therefore, when you decide to make a change and book into drug rehab, it’s crucial to choose not to go on this journey alone. Your family can benefit from a drug rehab facility as much as you can.

While many centres would instead focus on your recovery away from family, there usually are family weeks where your loved ones can join you at a drug rehab facility for a time of healing, support, and communication. From the professionals at Sivana Rehab, here is why booking yourself into a drug rehab helps more people than only you.

Share Their Feelings About Your Addiction

When you’re an addict – be it alcoholism or drug addiction, nothing else typically matters but that drug of choice. In fact, you can be oblivious to everyone around you. When you go to drug rehab and slowly work to become healthy again, you can find yourself beginning to realise how much of an impact your addiction had on those around you. In a controlled and supportive setting, your family can be given the opportunity to share with you how your addiction made them feel.

They Can Feel Useful

When you allow your family to support you with your recovery, you are no longer blocking them out as you may have done in the past. As a result, your family and friends can feel useful and needed in your recovery. Moreover, when you know you have genuine support, you are more likely to continue remaining in treatment, even if you’re struggling with the new environment.

Child Care

How to Choose Child Care

Frida Kahlo LifestyleRelationships

When the time comes to begin looking at child care options for your children, it’s crucial to do your research. What may have worked for the children of your friends and family may not be as convenient or suitable for you and yours. There are many things you must consider – a few of which we’ve included below.

Location

Location, believe it or not, can play a part in choosing the best child care option for you and your family. If you select a facility that’s not within proximity to your home or place of business, you may find you’re spending even longer commuting than is realistically convenient. For example, if your child is in care until 5.30 pm, but you work until 5 pm, you need to ensure a commute of 30 minutes or less is possible. Otherwise, it may cause problems for your work schedule and the facility caring for your child.

Feedback

When you’re looking at various child care options, keep our ears open. Close to half of families included in an Australian Bureau of Statistics survey utilised some form of child care. Therefore, you’re bound to know several people who take their children to facilities and have feedback about them. Ask questions, find out about the environment and the teachers, and narrow down the potential options from what people have to say.

Your Children’s Needs

Not every child thrives in a busy environment with other children – whereas others do. You know your children better than anyone, so consider what’s in their best interests. Child care is available in varying forms, so you may find home-based is far more beneficial, or a facility with structure could be as well.
