There are many things to take into consideration when selecting your ideal pair of glasses. Not every style is flattering on every person.  Here’s a list of things to take into consideration when choosing a pair of glasses as well as style suggestions.

1. You need to take into consideration the shape of your face.

The shape of the frames you should select should be in contrast to the shape of your face.

People with round faces, for example, should wear frames that are narrow, angular and rectangle shaped in order to elongate their faces and thin them out.  Whereas people with oval shaped faces look best when they wear frames that are as wide as or wider than the broadest part of their face.

2. The size of your frames should be in scale with the size of your face.
3. You should select a style that highlights your best features (For example a green-eyed person should choose green frames).
4. You should take your coloring and complexion into consideration when selecting the color of your frames.

People have either cool (blue-based) or warm (yellow- based) coloring, so they should therefore, choose frames that match their coloration. The main features that determine one’s coloration are your skin tone, eye and hair color.  If you are a cool complexion then your best bet would be to choose frames that are silver, gray, plum, pink or black. While warm complexions look best in frames that are khaki, gold, off-white, peach or red.

5. Consider your lifestyle.

If you are really active and involved a lot of outdoors activities, you should consider the durability of the frames they choose. If you’re a gamer, there are even glasses that help enhance your gaming experience. And since there are so many different types of glasses that are designed to accommodate multiple lifestyles you should have no trouble finding one that matches yours.

When you think about improving your oral and dental health, your initial and only thought is likely to be brushing your teeth regularly. And while regular brushing is a great place to start, it’s just that, the start.

A Fresh Start

Despite the importance of your mouth and teeth, oral and dental hygiene isn’t given the attention it needs. Over time, this leads to bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay. To remove these issues and give your mouth a fresh start, make an appointment for a professional teeth cleaning service in Los Angeles to bring your hygiene and smile back to a healthy and clean state.

The Right Tools for the Job

You wouldn’t try to use a hammer to drill a hole with a screw. And while you certainly don’t want to think of drills and teeth, the same rule applies. Start with a soft bristled brush which has been designed to be gentle on your gums. Given you have just had a professional clean, there’s no need to get a heavy brush and scratch away your enamel. Match this with toothpaste that includes active ingredients, just not cleaning pastes.

Not Finished Yet

Your dental health regime doesn’t stop at just brushing. While you are with your dental professional receiving your clean, ask about dental floss and the right technique to use it for your teeth and maintain the routine. You should be flossing your teeth thoroughly at least once a day, with twice a day being the recommendation to prevent the buildup of remaining food which can quickly, and we mean quickly, lead to gingivitis.

Time to Quit

There are numerous health and fitness reasons to give up smoking, and you can add your dental health to the list. Not only does smoking cause dark staining to your teeth, but it also damages your gums and can cause them to recede at a much faster rate than they would genetically. Additionally, smoking works against your cleaning efforts to remove any gum disease you may be battling.

The average morning and evening dental hygiene routine only takes around two to three minutes, and the benefits are great. Speak with your dentist about any individual dental concerns you have and take the time to maintain your oral and dental health to prevent additional future health problems.

Nothing quite expresses a sentiment like a postcard – and a personalized one at that. If you are travelling and would like to let your friends or family know that they’ve been in your thoughts then why not create your very own postcard out of your travel photos.

To create a postcard all you really need are travel photos as well as a good card design software to help you out. For the latter you could opt to use Movavi Photo Editor seeing as it has all the features you need and is easy to use to boot.

Finding the Right Photo

The first thing that you should do is find the right photo – and that is largely going to depend on the reason for the postcard. If you simply want to send a memento of your travels to a friend or family member then a photo depicting a highlight of place that you’re visiting would do well. On the other hand if it’s a special occasion then you might want to use a ‘selfie’ that allows you to express the sentiment that you’re conveying.

Remember that you’re going to want to include a message with the photo that you choose – so be sure that you pick one that has space for it somewhere.

Creating the Postcard

To create the postcard itself all you need to do is load the photo into Movavi Photo Editor and use the software to add the elements that you want included. Among the many features that you will want to use include those that will:

• Add text and customize its appearance to include the message that you want to send.
• Include special texture effects such as ‘Hearts’, ‘Stars’, ‘Night Lights’ and so on.
• Apply artistic filters to alter the appearance of the photo.
• Enhance the quality of the photo and fix any issues with it.
• Remove unnecessary elements from the photo.
• Delete and replace the background of the photo.

Between these features, you should be able to transform your travel photo into something creative, unique, and special. That’s really all that you need to do to make your own card – and once you’re done you can print it out and write the address on the other side when you post it. Odds are your friends and family will be thrilled to receive a personalized postcard that is so unique in the mail.

Home comforts are important to us all, especially after a hard day at work, or relaxing at weekends with love ones. We all create our own little piece of paradise, whether it’s plump cushions and luxury curtains in our living rooms, an array of scented candles and fluffy towels in our bathrooms, or a comfortable bed and sensuous covers in our bedrooms. But how do we create our own little world of bliss without breaking the budget?

There are creative little techniques and accessories we can all add to furniture we have collected over the years. Yet when things become a little tired and dated just the odd change here and there gives us a new lease of life, and restores the harmony in our homes, which can look luxurious but doesn’t cost us the earth.

In the bedroom…

What about making your luxury throws for the bed? There are a wide range of fabrics, which consist of different textures and colours, to match and compliment your already existing décor, and you can make them in different sizes to suit your own personal bed.

A good night’s sleep is important for our health and wellbeing. Are you feeling fully rested the next morning or do you feel drained from feeling uncomfortable? One inexpensive way of adding of making your home feel an extra bit special is to look atchanging your mattress. Do your research to find the right bed that fits you. Creating comfort is personal to you. Companies, such as Bedstar, offer mattresses with that luxurious softness, with beautiful looks, and will remain sturdy for years, the basis for your sensuous bedroom but without luxurious price tag.

Get creative

 

There are many ways in which we can create the designer look without the designer price tag. How about having a go at creating your own cushions? These are very simple to make and you can pick up your favourite luxury materials from local markets and haberdasheries. With this you can add your own little touches to make them individual and mix and match your desired fabrics and patterns to suit your own personal taste exactly.

Creating your own scented candles for around the home allows you to add the fragrance which sets the mood in different areas of your home. Whilst relaxing in a hot soapy bath at the end of the day, warm scents such as jasmine and rosemary will lightly lift that exhaustion, creating peace before a good night’s rest. Also you can decide what colours and patterns you want to create a more decorative touch to your home, creating a more luxurious home without spending a fortune.

With websites like Airbnb making home-run B&Bs an ever more accessible business option, and lifestyle websites giving us endless advice on how to style our rooms to boutique-hotel levels of loveliness, we’re beginning to see the presentation of our homes as a semi-professional skill, and to think harder about the experience guests have when they visit us.

But while Instagram and Pinterest make all those stylists’ homes and attic B&Bs seem effortlessly chic, keeping your home to standards Alex Polizzi would approve takes skill and fine attention to detail.

So here are five places to start: from the best way to clean an oven to honing a unique guest experience, we’ll help you create a home you’ll be proud for visitors – either friends or paying guests – to see.

Cleaning an oven

If you’re offering your guests food, the state of your oven will be key to their experience. A dirty oven will make food taste bitter and smoky, while catching sight of grease and soot in your kitchen could make guests worry about the quality of the meal.

Watch this helpful video on the best way to clean an oven, and make sure yours is always ready to produce tempting treats for your guests.

Bedside surprises

Imagine your guests climbing gratefully into bed and reaching for the lamp on their bedside table – and finding some surprise treats there as well! A small vase of flowers, a pretty tin with a couple of biscuits, a miniature tube of hand cream – little touches show your guests you really care about their experience, and help make their evening really special.

If they’re people you know, you could select surprises just for them – a couple of books you think they’ll like, or their favourite evening snack.

Luxurious linen

One of the greatest pleasures of staying in a hotel is sinking into freshly laundered sheets at night, and wrapping yourself in a soft, fluffy towel in the morning. But when you’re running a home B&B without the cash for professional laundry services, or you’re just having friends to stay, you don’t want to blow the budget on new 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton. Instead, try these tips for keeping towels and sheets fresh and soft and save the pennies.

Finding your signature dish

Most people appreciate a classic fry-up once in a while, but with B&Bs abounding it’s a good idea to add something a bit special to your menu. Start with what you love to eat yourself – do you have a favourite weekend breakfast, or a dish your friends and family always ask for? Maybe you have something new to share with your guests, from great vegan or raw cooking to a menu inspired by a favourite holiday destination.

Whatever theme you choose, remember to keep the meal cost-effective and simple to prepare. That way you can treat your guests without denting your purse, and you’ll have more time to spend making them feel special.

A base for adventure

Maybe you can’t spend all day with your visiting friends, or your paying guests are new to the area and want to look around. Why not put together a little guide to where you live? Include suggestions for families, couples and lone travellers, and mark your favourite places so guests feel they’re really getting an insider perspective.

You might have favourite sights around the town, or spots for getting good views, as well as places to eat or things to do. If you’re a B&B beginning to turn over a little more cash, why not set up a voucher system with a local café or gift shop so your guests get some money off while bringing more life to the local area? It’s a great exchange of services that’ll help support more local business owners like you.

From learning the best way to clean an oven to crafting a tailored tour of your town, a little extra effort will make the world of difference to your guests. People will appreciate your putting so much thought into their experience, and their cosy afternoon in the bookshop you recommended, or the scent of the roses you put by their bed will stay with them for a long time.

Paying guests will come back and recommend you to others, and friends will want to return the favour – giving you a night away in your own idea of luxury. And if you fancy taking your home hosting to the next level, there’s plenty of inspiration around so that you can start running your own little home-away-from-home.
