How To Change Your Look Like Your Favorite Celebrity

barbara Leave a comment

 Wigs are becoming more and more popular with celebrities and in everyday life.  Just about 5 years ago, the idea of wearing a wig for anyone below 70 years old was seen as outdated or unstylish because human hair wigs are made for the elderly or people who are losing hair due to illness.

Fast forward now, girls in their 20’s are sporting wigs every day and many are trying to emulate their favorite celebrities.  The attitude towards wigs and extensions has changed.  It is a beauty secret that almost 97% of the female celebrities wear hair extensions.  Can you imagine going from burgundy tresses to brunette, to beach blonde hair, all in one week without damaging your hair? As more and more celebs started rocking Brazilian hair wigs, we realized just how versatile they could really be.

Wigs can also be used as a protective style. It means that it is a style to protect your natural hair from heat, color damage, weather or as a temporary measure while growing your hair.   You can be Rihanna sporting a redhead or a straight sleek style next before the week is done without causing any damage to your natural hair.

The best place where you can buy good quality and realistic looking wigs at prices that are not sky high is at RealBeautyHair.com.  This well-known wig manufacturer specializes in high quality 100% natural human hair extensions and has been in business for over 12 years.

Check out this lovely curly hair wig.

If you are looking to change up your look for summer, testing out a new hair color, or you just want longer locks, a wig or bundles with closure are the way to go.  Trust us, you will be surprised at how much you love it.

So hurry over to Real Beauty Hair to select the best styles you want.  They are also available at Aliexpress store.

If you are always on the go, then this season’s necklace pouchettes and belt bags are what you need.  I just love them to bits.  They are absolutely godsend. I love that my hands are free when I go about my day. Some may be too small to my liking as it can only fit some cash and credit card. I like the ones where I can fit my smartphone as well.  Check out some of the latest here.

Do you know that one of the top 5 insecurities facing men is height?  Being tall is a sign of strength and authority.  Therefore, being vertically challenged makes a person a ‘lesser man’.  Height to men is what weight is to women.  According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, tall people have better social skills and more confidence.  Shorter men should not despair.  There are styles to enhance the stature and one of the best ways is to wear elevator shoes.  Just as women using makeup and heels to give them an edge, men are turning to elevator shoes to give them a little boost.  These shoes are now an important fashion accessory for men.

Elevator shoes are footwear that is built with a raised platform. Unlike heels for women, the ‘heel’ is hidden inside the shoe.  These types of shoes are a hot favorite among celebrities and it is well-known that many athletes and politicians also wear them.  There have been speculations about the famous celebrity, Tom Cruise and his actual height.  Some say that he wears lifting shoes to look taller.  You can even find Tom Cruise Height Elevator shoes for sale.

Actually, elevator shoes do not just make a person look taller, they also make a person stand straighter.  This is great for posture.  Most elevator shoes add around 2 to 5 inches to a person’s height.

Melania Trump’s Zara Jacket

barbara Leave a comment

Melania Trump is no doubt one of the most fashionable First Ladies the United States has ever seen.  A couple of days ago, the FLOTUS wore a jacket when she made a surprise visit to the U.S. Mexico border after President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order that would stop migrant children from being separated from their families while at the border.   Melania was pictured wearing the $39 Zara jacket when she boarded Air Force One, and it instantly triggered a media frenzy.

She was praised by some for caring about the welfare of the minors while many others were furious over her choice to wear an olive green jacket which has the words : “I really don’t care. Do u?” in bold white graffiti-style writing.

There are those who believe that her decision to wear a jacket with such a bold message, especially since it was a hot day, was not a mistake.   It was done intentionally to send a message.  What do you think?

I am guessing this jacket from Zara is already sold out.

Why And How To Choose Non-Toxic Nail Polish?

You may have wondered “Are nail polishes healthy?”, “Is there a non-toxic nail polish?”, “How do I tell a toxic from a non-toxic polish?”. These are valid questions that relate to your health and well-being.

It has been found that traditional nail polishes contain chemicals and materials that are hazardous to the well-being of people that use them because of their connection to skin irritations, cancers, etc. The harmful chemicals, at minimum, lead to dryness of the nails, and sometimes a weakening of the nails. So, when you want to have beautiful and healthy nails, it is essential to choose nail polishes that are non-toxic so as to reduce your exposure to health problems.

The three most common toxic chemicals in nail polish (called the toxic trio) are Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene. Other toxic materials include Formaldehyde Resin (a derivative of formaldehyde), Camphor (which affects reproduction, hormones, metabolism and development), Ethyl Tosylamid (which could cause antibiotic resistance in the body), and Xylene (a known allergen and possible carcinogen).

  • Formaldehyde

 

Formaldehyde is customarily used to embalm dead bodies and is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). Formaldehyde is a common constituent of nail hardeners, with concentration as much as 5%. Formaldehyde resin is found in nail polish and they usually contain up to 1% formaldehyde concentration.

  • Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

DBP is used as a solvent for dyes and for preventing nail polishes from becoming brittle. It is classified by the European Union as toxic to human reproduction and a possible endocrine disruptor. DBP has also been linked to kidney and liver failure in children that suck or chew on their fingers that have been polished with the product for extended periods. DBP is also linked to cancer and birth defects. DBP is classified by the European Union as toxic to aquatic organisms.

  • Toluene

Toluene is chemically derived from petroleum/coal and is harmful to the nervous system. Links have been established between Toluene and impaired human reproduction, nausea, impaired breathing. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety classifies Toluene as a moderate skin irritant. When exposed to the skin for long periods, it can cause dermatitis. Inhaling Toluene vapor can cause slight drowsiness, headache, irritation of the throat, nose and respiratory tracts.

Benefits of non-toxic nail polish

  • Better health

Toxic nail polish makes a person susceptible to health hazards including cancer. Choosing a non-toxic nail polish reduces, or eliminates, your chances of being exposed to such harmful chemicals that can affect your health negatively.

  • Safer environment

Not only are the chemicals in nail polish harmful to humans, but they are also hazardous to the environment. The process of manufacture of the chemicals and their toxic content pose threats to living organisms in the biosphere.

  • No smell or odor

Non-toxic nail polish does not smell like toxic nail polish. The smell of the toxic nail polish arises from the chemical composition of the polish and sometimes induces a headache when inhaled.

  • Good for the nails

Ordinary non-toxic nail polish does not affect the health of nails, while toxic nail polish can make the nails chipped, yellow or brittle.
