Cute Hand-Crafted Key Chains

Despite having to sit for an exam in a few days’ time, Cass still prefers to indulge in craft vs. poring over her school books.  Several days ago, despite having a stack of homework and test papers to do, she pushed them aside. Instead, she crafted a homemade gift from scraps – a mineral water bottle made from thin plastic.

She made a cube box by cutting the plastic mineral water bottle with a pair of scissors. Inside the box is a macaron key chain which she made some time back using magic clay from my online store. The ring for the key chain was bought from Daiso. Then she ransacked my cupboard and fished out a red ribbon to tie it on her gift box… and tadaaaaa….

This yummy cake key chain is also hand-crafted by Cass, using magic clay and Daiso-bought key ring.

I asked her if she’s going to gift these key chains away but she said she will collect them all.

On a side note, yesterday was just not my day. The moon and stars were not aligned like they should. After I parked my car outside the school to send lunch to Cass and Drama Queen, the battery went flat.  It was the first time in my 27 years of driving that I experienced a flat battery when I was out of the house.  I made a quick call to the hubs for SOS and he called his car technician over to his office. They drove to school and the technician changed my car battery. What a way to start my Wednesday!

Why Don’t I Have Amazing Health?

Once an individual becomes frustrated with poor health and the negative life outcomes it engenders, she or he may start making lifestyle changes in hopes of looking better and gaining more vitality. Yet in some cases, people find that their efforts don’t yield the outcomes they want. While this process can seem frustrating, it’s important to note that recognizing and correcting ineffective lifestyle patterns and choices can help you step into a greater dimension of well-being relatively quickly. Get the whole process going and growing now by determining whether you’re committing any of the following errors:

1. Your Exercise Program Isn’t Holistic

At some point, many people realize that exercise is an important, integral aspect of getting healthy. However, the majority of individuals do not implement and stick to a long-term exercise program. Moreover, many of the people who do exercise consistently do not develop the holistic format necessary to optimize results. For example, people who confine their workout routine to jogging on a treadmill three times a week are missing the added benefits they would attain from periodically incorporating some strength training into their routine. Also note that people who do not engage in stretching activities like yoga are missing great benefits such as an increased range of motion and decreased susceptibility to injury. With these realities in mind, make sure that your exercise program contains all three forms of physical activity. An example of a great cardio/strength/stretching program would include a combination of running, weight-lifting, and pilates.

2. Your Diet Is Lackluster

Just as many people understand that exercise plays an integral role in facilitating health, a lot of us know that what we eat determines key factors such as our weight management capacities, mood, genetic potential, and longevity. Yet many people are constantly receiving misinformation and mixed messages from the media regarding what they should be eating. In other cases, people know which types of diets are ideal and simply don’t follow those meal plans because of a lack of willpower or an unwillingness to let their palate adjust to the taste, textures, and flavors of healthy foods.

One of the primary problems with the Western diet is that it contains too many processed foods. These foods have been stripped of their nutrients and the process of fortifying them with vitamins and minerals means that the body’s ability to effectively use them is compromised. To start consuming a diet that really empowers your cells, tissues, and organs to function correctly, try a plant-based, whole foods diet in which the majority of your consumables were not processed.

Also note that many people may experience substantive results yet not feel 100% healthy with a new diet due to a lot of chemical imbalances engendered by their former poor eating habits, use of medications, and other lifestyle issues. If this is the case for you, note that you can attain assistance with key life-generating processes such as restoring hormonal balance. An HRT company such as Global Life Rejuvenation can assist you with this type of process.

There’s no reason to lead a lackluster life when you can have tons of energy, glowing skin, a stable mood, and numerous other life-enhancing outcomes that materialize in healthy bodies.

Laser Skin Treatments

Laser skin treatments can make your skin look healthy and rejuvenated. Precise, powerful laser treatments target light beams to the skin to address medical issues and cosmetic concerns. Laser treatments are both effective treatments and time-efficient.

Many laser treatment appointments take just minutes from start to finish. There’s little or no pain involved so anesthesia usually isn’t required.

Laser treatments help to enhance skin’s texture and appearance. Some of the most popular skin laser treatments include laser hair removal, rosacea treatment, sun-damaged skin treatment, vein and telangiectasia removal, and psoriasis treatments. Cosmetic dermatology Oregon has everything you need to enjoy more youthful, healthy-looking skin.

Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Treatment?
Before you have any laser skin treatment, ask the doctor if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Book a consultation to ask the doctor to explain any procedure that interests you and provide an estimate for how much the treatment will cost. You may need multiple appointments to achieve best results.

If you want to proceed, the doctor will create your customized procedure plan.

Laser Hair Removal
Shaving, waxing, or tweezing unwanted hair is frustrating for many people. If you want to remove the wanted hair, ask about laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can be used to remove excess hair from the face, arms, legs, bikini line, underarms, or other areas. Because laser hair removal is so precise, it’s possible to target unwanted hair without damage to the skin.

• Because so many people prefer the results of laser hair removal, it’s one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures across the U.S.
• Laser hair removal works by sending highly concentrated light into the patient’s unwanted hair follicles. As the pigment absorbs the light, the hair is destroyed.
• The Cynosure Cynergy ™ laser is used to treat larger areas of skin. Each session is usually 15 – 30 minutes. Most patients require three or four sessions every six weeks to remove excess hair.

Rosacea Treatment
People with rosacea are often embarrassed by constant redness, flushing, and dilated capillaries, known as telangiectasias, under the skin. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) can help people with rosacea to improve their skin. Laser treatments eliminate swollen capillaries on your cheeks, nose, or around the mouth. There’s little to no discomfort involved with the treatment.

Sun-Damage Skin Treatment
Excess sun exposure can cause irregular pigmentation and redness to the skin. Laser treatments can destroy these blemishes and bring back the look of moist, healthy, youthful skin.

Treating sun damage isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, however. Some people with darker skins may not be good candidates for laser treatment. However, many other treatment options may be considered to solve sun damage problems. To protect your skin between treatments, plan to use sun block protection.

Vein and Telangiectasia Removal
Broken capillaries and superficial leg veins may be embarrassing on legs, arms, or on the face. Depending on the location of the broken vessels, the Multiplex laser or the pulsed dye laser can destroy these unsightly veins and capillaries.

Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a persistent skin problem for many people. It’s often resistant to medicines and creams. The XTRAC laser can help to remove psoriasis plaques without pain. Most patients require several treatments to remove psoriasis patches. It’s possible to see a marked improvement in your skin in just three to four sessions. Many insurers cover XTRAC laser treatments for psoriasis, including Medicare.

Summing Up
If you want to reveal healthy, moist, and beautiful skin, consider laser skin treatments.
