Wine and Chocolate

Do Wine and Chocolate Go Together?

Posted on by beyondbparis

When you are providing someone with a present or gesture, more often than not they contain wine and chocolate. For some reason, these two items are “go to” gifts, especially if you don’t know the person very well. Even though they pair as gifts, you will very rarely see them appear together on a restaurant menu. Nor will chocolate be a recommended pairing when you view wine information on an online wine provider website.

While wine and chocolate with a lovely ribbon is the perfect gift for a friend, how on earth do you pair them together? The following information might help.

What Works with Milk Chocolate?

Milk chocolate consists typically of both cream and chocolate, which makes it more of a confectionary than actual chocolate. However, that doesn’t make it any less hard to pair. A sure-fire way of nailing the combination is to opt for sweet sparkling red wine.

The berry, spices, and fruity undertones from most sweet sparkling varieties pair beautifully with the creaminess of the chocolate. What’s more, each bite and swig blends together into a zesty, berry-like combination that feels silky smooth in your mouth and tastes divine. Tip: If you order chocolate mousse at a restaurant, ask for a glass of Ruby Port. With spice and berry undertones, it’s a match made in heaven. You may also be able to find this Port, which originates from Portugal, from an online wine provider.

Sauvignon Blanc

Types of Sauvignon Blanc

Posted on by beyondbparis

There is no denying that Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most versatile wines available. You can find it at almost any restaurant, and it’s abundant in bottle stores and online wine shops too. However, there’s every reason to believe that its versatility to pair beautifully with almost any dish is down to the significant variety available. Below, we outline the various Sauvignon Blanc option from different parts of the world.

What Are My Options?

If you were to leave the country of origin out of the equation, you would find there are two main Sauvignon Blanc kinds: aged and stainless. Aside from the difference of taste, another significant difference is the price tag, especially on a restaurant menu.

The most common variety of Sauvignon Blanc is unoaked. Unoaked wine refers to its fermentation process in a concrete vat or even a stainless steel one which is becoming more common. Typically, this fermentation style lends itself to a lower price tag, while still producing wine with high acidity and bold, fruity flavours.

Aged Sauvignon Blanc, which is barrel-fermented, is more of a refined Sauvignon Blanc for delicate palates and those looking to spend a little more. The wine is aged in lees which is essentially dead yeast, and the result is a far creamier wine that dances on the palate. Wine producers also have a little fun with the aging process, adding butter, lemon oil, and even lemon curd for a burst of flavour for a pleasant surprise. However, the intricacies of the fermentation process are reflected in the price tag. In saying that, you may be able to buy it cheaper if you look at various online wine distributors.

Sauvignon Blanc Varieties by Country

France: France is by far the biggest producer of Sauvignon Blanc, with significant production occurring in Loire, Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon. In Loire, you can expect hints of honeydew melon, high acidity levels, and even a slight hint of lime. However, high-end wines are typically fruitier with hints of fennel, lemongrass, and peach. These wines are commonly found in any restaurant throughout France.

Sedation Dentistry

Why Consider Sedation Dentistry?

Posted on by beyondbparis

Are you one of the one in six people who fear the dentist? While your oral health is equally as important as your overall health, more Australians are likely to put off going to the dentist than a doctor appointment. However, in many cases, the longer you put it off, the bigger the problem and cost.

According to Perth based dentist Clear Choice Dental, when you fear the dentist, it can often be hard to convince yourself to go. Instead, you tell yourself the pain will go away, that you don’t need regular check-ups, and that your teeth are okay.  Instead of worrying and putting it off, why not consider sedation dentistry and make the experience far more pleasurable?

We’ve included a few of the many reasons why sedation dentistry could benefit you.

It Speeds Up the Process

When you’re scared of the dentist, or you require plenty of reassurance during your appointment, it’s not uncommon for you to be there longer than the appointment usually would take. While your dentist doesn’t mind going the extra mile to ensure you’re comfortable, it can mean that you’re in a situation you don’t want to be in for an extended period. If you consider sedation dentistry that puts you at ease, your dentist can carry out your treatment or procedure much quicker. As a result, you’re in and out the door at lightning speed.

Stainless Steel Jewellery

Stainless-Steel Jewellery

Posted on by beyondbparis

While not all jewellers you come across will stock stainless steel jewellery, a growing number is beginning to. There is no denying that gold, silver, and platinum are still leading the way, but stainless-steel is no longer only an option for your steak knife set. Instead, it’s proving to be a beneficial metal type for your jewellery as well. Here’s why.

It Doesn’t Tarnish

If you’re not one to spend countless hours maintaining your jewellery, then you will be pleased to know stainless steel doesn’t need you to. When you buy silver jewellery, which is one of the most popular metals in the world, the jewellers you buy it from will tell you what you need to do to care for it. Silver tarnishes when you expose it to oxygen, which means that you often need to polish it. Stainless steel, however, doesn’t oxidize or tarnish which means it requires minimal maintenance or cleaning – if any at all.

No Sheen

When you purchase items from jewellers, each type of metal has a different sheen and appeal. While you look beautiful, when you wear them together, that sheen can often not match. You then have to be quite selective with what you wear together. Stainless steel doesn’t have this same sheen, which means whatever stainless-steel jewellery you buy, it will all match each other well.

Waist Training

Is Waist Training the Same as Corset Training?

Posted on by beyondbparis

Many people believe that waist training is the same as corset training, but the two are vastly different practices. While both beauty garments do look similar in style, there are a few dramatic differences that can set them apart as well. Below, we look at the differences between corsets and waist trainers so you can decide which method works for you, and which doesn’t.

What Is Waist Training?

Waist training is more of a contemporary term, derived from a time where women would use corsets to “train” their waist. However, waist trainers today are vastly different than that of corsets and corset training.

You wear a waist trainer to slim down your waist, flatten your stomach, improve your posture and accentuate your curves. There are many different waist trainers for sale on the market, and they look very different to corsets. Most of the high-quality waist trainers are made from latex rubber, and they also feature clasps not dissimilar to those of a bra which you can adjust as your waist shape changes.

The most significant difference between waist training and corset training is that waist training doesn’t alter your rib cage or organ placement to achieve an hourglass figure. Instead, it works with your shape for a more toned appearance. In essence, many people consider it to be safer.

Bridesmaid Robes

Where to Get Ready for Your Wedding

Posted on by beyondbparis

Have you decided where to get ready when the big day arrives? Many brides opt to have the hairdresser and makeup artist come to their home rather than having to travel to them. It gives you a bit more time and saves having to find a suitable outfit to wear, drive and find a close park, especially if it’s very windy or rainy. However, if you and your bridesmaids decide this is a good idea, remember to have bridal robes to wear so your hairstyle will not be spoiled pulling a t-shirt off over your head.

It’s essential to book the hairdresser and makeup artist well in advance so they don’t take any other bookings for that day. That will free them up to spend all their time getting you and your wedding party ready without having to rush back to their salon for other appointments.

Make sure you have enough room to do this, though. You need some large mirrors that chairs can be placed in front of, especially if your bridesmaids are all with you. Have some spare towels and hand-towels ready and clean off the bench top space ready for them. You might also want to add your own hairspray in case the hairdresser forgets to bring hers.

Take a Selfie Before Botox

Why You Should Take a Selfie Before Botox

Posted on by beyondbparis

According to beauty experts, prideincareuk.com, many women shudder to think their face is getting wrinkles. After going through wrinkle cream, chemical peels and dermabrasion only to find those wrinkles are still there, they may very likely turn to Botox for treatment. If you are considering this kind of treatment it is essential to discuss it with a qualified doctor, dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon and do everything they tell you to before and after the treatment.

One thing they may not tell you to do is take a photo of yourself beforehand, but this is a good idea because our memory is not always reliable, especially when it comes to small improvements. If you have a good photo of your wrinkles you will be able to see what a difference the Botox made to them. In fact, comparing your face after the shots with the photo can really help the injector to know whether they gave you enough, or if you should have a bit more.

It is good to have both a before and after photo and take one in between as well. This can give you a good idea of just how the Botox works for you, as so many others get different results. So your first photo should be taken just before the injections. Then another one should be taken the day afterwards. This is often when the doctor does not see you unless you have a problem with reactions or bruising, so it’s good to have the photo to show him the next time you go.

PhotoBooth

The Most Important Part of Any Event

Posted on by beyondbparis

If you are organising an event such as a wedding or a party, what are the most important parts? You might say every part is important, but without great photos to remember it by, the event can soon be forgotten by the many guests who attend. Hiring photo booths for the event will ensure that this never happens to your event.

With the ability to take fun photos right in the venue, each and every guest will be able to not only take the photos they want with their own friends, but download them the very next day. They can then choose which – if any – they want to have printed out, or decide to keep the digital file instead. Either way they’ll always have photos to remember you and your event, especially important for things like weddings, anniversaries and birthdays or other celebrations that are significant in your life.

Of course it is important to pick a suitable venue, order the drinks and food and make sure you have music, lighting and decorations to make the place look wonderful. And a DJ will help the night go off with a bang. But you also want everyone to have fond memories of the event, memories that will not fail with age or get lost over the years. The best way to do this is to have good photographs to look at. A picture is worth a thousand words and will certainly stimulate the memories of the person viewing it.

Health Benefits of Red Wine

The Health Benefits of Red Wine

Posted on by beyondbparis

Even though you may hate the thought of cleaning up the carpet after a spill of red wine, there are some health benefits to be gained by drinking it. In fact, many people like to drink it anyway, whether it has health benefits or not. If you are worried about your carpet, says Brilliance carpet cleaning you should simply learn the best way to do it and keep cloths on hand so that it is quick and easy to do.

In fact, soaking up and stain immediately with paper towels is a good start, but if the stain doesn’t come out you can always get the professional cleaners in. Meanwhile, stop worrying about it and enjoy your relaxing meal with that nice wine.

Here are the health benefit of red wine.

  • Wine is a great relaxant for those who are stressed or even too tired to sleep. When you are really tired, it is sometimes difficult to fall asleep because your brain seems to be going around at a fast pace even after going to bed. A glass of red will help you to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Once you are well rested, you’ll feel great the next day.
  • Red wine is made from the skins of grapes, as well as the flesh. The skin is where the colour comes from and it contains very good anti-oxidants called resveratrol and flavonoids that are good for your heart and help to decrease the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increase the ‘good’ cholesterol in your body. And as we all know, bad cholesterol sticks to the arteries and interferes with the blood flow, which can cause heart problems.

12 Ways To Ruin Your Skin without Really Trying

Posted on by beyondbparis

Skin is one of the most important parts of the body. Not only does it hold everything in place, it acts as a protective layer, a third kidney and an insulating blanket for our organs. Smooth skin can make us look younger than we are, while wrinkled skin will make us look much older. Often, we put our skin into danger of being ruined without even realising it. Here’s how.

  • We don’t shower after swimming in the pool or the ocean. Chlorine and salt are both really drying to the skin and should be washed off with lots of soap. We should then smooth on moisturiser.
  • We may go outside without sunscreen. The effects of UV radiation on the skin is very aging. If you can, notice English people or those who come from cold countries. Their skin is much more youthful looking than many Australians because they don’t spend hours in the sunshine due to the cold weather in their country.
  • Getting too close to a bonfire or a barbeque. The effect of fire and heat on our skin can truly burn and wrinkle it. Some skin types are more susceptible than others, but once those wrinkles have formed it is too late to find out if yours is.
  • Sitting too close to a radiant heater in the winter can also dry out your skin.

Event Planning – why you need a great DJ / MC

Posted on by beyondbparis

Many corporate or other events are planned around Christmas and New Year to celebrate the season and as a way to say goodbye to colleagues leaving for a well-earned holiday. Such events usually have dancing, music and entertainment. Getting a DJ from a professional company is an essential part of such an event to ensure everyone has a good time.

When it comes to hiring a DJ, companies and event planners know the value of getting an experienced one who can break the ice and get that event or party swinging from the first minute so that everyone has the fun they deserve. A great DJ/MC can actually entertain and inform the guests at a party so they all know what to expect and what to do – and just as importantly, when to do it.

A DJ/MC can control the crowd of people simply through what he says and the music he plays. He can also keep things on track if there are speeches, presentations or other things that must be done. The venue is only booked for a certain number of hours and some speechmakers go on and on. The DJ can ensure that everything finishes on time and no one is left out who has a speech to give.

Restore Damaged Teeth

4 Ways to Restore Damaged Teeth

Posted on by beyondbparis

Teeth do a lot of hard work over a lifetime and can be damaged when you chew something hard, if you grind your teeth at night or from a trauma such as from playing sport or some other accidental injury. A good dentist such as Candlewood Dental Centre will very likely be able to restore a damaged tooth, if it is not too badly damaged.

The main thing to remember is to seek treatment as soon as possible after the damage occurs, because once the tooth is damaged it is weakened and using it will only make the damage worse.  Here are some ways the dentist may treat your damaged tooth, depending on how bad it is.

  • Chipped tooth – this may not be painful, depending how big the chip is and where on the tooth it is located. Treatment will vary depending on which tooth is damaged. Front teeth are highly visible so the dentist will attempt to make the tooth look like normal again. He can do this by placing a dental veneer over the top of the tooth, or he may make a crown to replace the missing chip. It is not likely the chip that came off will be usable, so don’t worry about keeping it. Very often a chip can be replaced with a dental filling that is the same colour as the natural tooth and shaped to look like the rest of the tooth. If it’s a large chip, it might be necessary for a post to be inserted into the remaining tooth to help hold the new part on.

Addiction Treatment

What Makes Addiction Treatment Successful?

Posted on by beyondbparis

If you or a loved one have an addiction to any drug, it is essential to get treatment as soon as possible. The most successful type of treatment entails going to a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic so that health care providers can be on hand day and night to help you. There are several ways to make sure that addiction treatment is successful.

  • Seek treatment as early as possible. Even if you don’t think you are addicted it is highly likely that you are. Most people who take drugs don’t believe they are addicted until their health really starts to break down and by then it is too late to help them.
  • Get treatment from a residential drug rehab centre that also offers counselling. Taking drugs is a sign of something deeply emotional or psychological that has disturbed you. Without treating the cause of the problem you will be more likely to return to the habit. Besides this, removing yourself from the whole drug scene will give you a new perspective as well as removing the temptation to go back to old habits.
  • Most clinics treat a drug problem for 30 days after which the sufferer leaves and returns to their normal accommodation. However, drug addiction cannot be cured in this time. Like alcohol addiction it is something that the sufferer must grapple with for the rest of their life. It helps significantly if they can remain in a halfway house of some kind where they can get back to life as it was before the addiction and plan for study or work in a job. This way they can experience a certain amount of freedom yet have that care and help at hand whenever they need it. People who do this have the most success at getting over their addiction and remaining free of drugs for the rest of their life.

How Botox Works

Posted on by beyondbparis

If you are going to have Botox injections to get rid of your wrinkles it is a good idea to understand how they work – and how your facial muscles work. Botox is mainly used to treat wrinkles in the face, but it may not be suitable for all kinds of wrinkles.

How wrinkles form

Wrinkles form due to the action of muscles moving the skin, but those wrinkles form perpendicular to the muscles that causes them. For instance, those mainly perpendicular lines between your eyebrows are cause by a horizontal muscle contracting, while the horizontal wrinkles above your eyebrows and across your forehead are caused by the contraction of a vertical muscle.

How Botox prevents them forming

When Botox is injected into the muscle it blocks the nerve impulse to tissues and thus prevents it from contracting or moving and this is what removes the wrinkles. If muscles cannot move, then they can’t push the skin into a fold or wrinkle. The muscle may still be able to move a little bit, especially as the Botox is absorbed into the body and loses its effectiveness.

4 Ways to Take Care of Your Health on Holidays

Posted on by beyondbparis

A healthy person always enjoys their life more than a sick one, no matter whether they are on holiday or working. But when you go on holiday you feel like the universe owes you a good time and it is totally spoiled if you fall sick. Advice from Easy Bali Villas says that you have wasted both time and money if you can’t enjoy your holiday, so here are 4 ways to take care of your health while on holidays;

  • Mosquitoes are rife in Bali as the constant rain causes many puddles that easily breed mosquitoes. These are the kind that carry malaria, so make sure you get vaccinated before you leave for Bali. Sleep with a mosquito net over the bed if you leave the windows open. Take insect repellent with you and use it often, especially when out in the countryside or when walking along the street at night. Mosquitoes can be anywhere and everywhere.
  • Take out travel insurance because getting sick in Bali is no laughing matter. You may need to be flown home to a top hospital for treatment, depending on whether you are sick or injured and how badly. This can cost a great deal and cause much stress if you are ill-prepared. Hospitals in Bali are not the same as in Australia and you may need quality care to even survive. With insurance you can get it.

Take Child to Dentist

Why You Should Take Your Child to the Dentist

Posted on by beyondbparis

It’s a good idea to take your child to the dental clinic at a young age so they get used to sitting in the chair and having someone look in their mouth.  According to Joondalup City Dental, it is best not to wait until there are decays to be fixed, but go as an introduction to the dentist rather than for any actual treatment. However, each child is different, so if yours is a shy child who doesn’t like strangers, wait until they are a bit older before taking them.

While it may seem unnecessary to take a child for no dental treatment, what you are doing is showing your child that there is nothing to fear, while encouraging them to understand how important it is to keep their teeth healthy by brushing and flossing correctly and regularly.

In addition, if they allow the dentist to look in their mouth, he can often catch a problem and rectify it before it gets any worse.  He can usually see at a glance if the teeth are crooked or overcrowded, the shape of the mouth and what is likely to happen as the child gets older. This is all good for you to know in advance so you can be prepared to have it fixed in due course.

Guide to IPL Skin Rejuvenation

Posted on by beyondbparis

If you want to rejuvenate your skin, IPL – Intense Pulsed Light – may be the way to go. While it is often used to treat specific skin problems such as scar tissue, pigmentation or rosacea, the end result always improves the skin, making it look more youthful and brighter. This is because the outer layer of dead skin cells is removed and more collagen is produced, both of which improve the appearance of the skin.

So even though you may not have those problems, you can still have the treatment just to make your skin look younger. It is one option that lasts a long time, although you may need to have more than one treatment. If your budget or time is limited, always be sure to consult your doctor about cost and number of treatments.

Is IPL right for you?

However, not everyone is suited to this kind of skin treatment. Unfortunately, it does not work so well on darker skin tones such as sallow skin. It is more effective on pale and white skin tones. It is best to be guided by a trained and experienced doctor as there are many other options for skin rejuvenation that could suit you better.

IPL skin rejuvenation is not only done on the face or backs of the hands – areas of skin that are  visible. It can be done on the abdomen to remove ugly stretch marks so you will be able to wear a bikini without blushing. It can be done on the back to remove pigmentation or scar tissue and it can be done on the thighs or legs, if necessary. It is safe for all areas of the body.

Natural Beauty Routines

Why You Should Try Natural Beauty Routines

Posted on by beyondbparis

What can you do if you have a problem with your skin and all the chemicals in the world don’t seem to make any difference? It may be time to throw away the chemicals and go natural. After all, chemicals are actually toxic, even though they are considered safe because they are present in such small amounts. However, over time this amount will increase and cause goodness knows what kind of damage to your skin.

The problem with many skin products is that what they contain is very often irritating to the skin, if that’s even the worst it does. Soothing creams meant to make the skin soft and prevent it from drying out often contain a drying ingredient. The more you use the cream the worse your skin gets, after that initial ‘feel good’ few hours. So back you go to the same old cream and slather it on even more. The only one to benefit is the company that makes it, this is why it is so important to use trusted brands such as The Beauty Gallery.

The best thing you can do for your skin is to use natural products that contain no chemicals. You may have to pay more and even look harder to find them, but it will be worth it in the long run. You may even be able to make your own. There are plenty of DIY recipes for skin care products on the Internet.

Things you Should Know about Breast Implants

Posted on by beyondbparis

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery. While many of these women find a great deal of satisfaction in their new size and shape, it should be remembered that any kind of surgery carries a modicum of risk with it. And not everyone is happy with their cosmetic surgery for one reason or another. Here are some of the things you should be aware of before undergoing breast implants.

  • Implants don’t always last forever. Some develop leaks and need to be replaced. Or scar tissue can develop, making the size and shape of the implant different from what you expected. 25% of women who have this surgery need to have more surgery done within 10 years.
  • The shape and size of your new breasts could change if you lose weight or fall pregnant. Another reason why more surgery may be necessary.
  • Depending on where the cut is made for the insertions, you could lose the ability to breastfeed your babies.
  • It is also possible that your nipples could become numb, although they will still respond to stimulation or cold. You just won’t feel it.
  • Your breast tissue will not feel the same as your breasts did before surgery, although silicone implants do give a similar feel. If you had only small amount of breast tissue beforehand, the implants will be more noticeable. However implants placed behind the muscles are harder to detect – but more painful at first.

4 Ways to Enjoy Family Holidays

Posted on by beyondbparis

Family holidays are sometimes an exercise in patience for the parents, but especially the mother because she seems to be the one that the little children turn to for comfort or anything else that they want. Here are some tips to help make that family holiday in Bali more successful, so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Accommodation

If you want to enjoy a family holiday in Bali, it is essential that each parent has some free time and to get this you either have to split up and go alone while the other one babysits, or hire a babysitter. According to Luxury Villas Bali if you have the kind of really nice accommodation that offers affordable babysitters, it will make things easier. But it is also essential to choose accommodation that is not restrictive like a hotel room is. You don’t want to have to creep around the room while the littlies have their afternoon nap or go to bed early. Villas are much easier on family life, allowing the little ones to rest peacefully in their own bedroom while the parents enjoy more freedom in the living rooms and just outside near the pool, where they can still hear the children if they are disturbed.

The Difference Between Red and White Wine

Posted on by beyondbparis

While most people are familiar with wine, they may not be so familiar with how it is made. In fact, it is a fairly simple process of fermenting grapes that produces wine, but the difference between red and white wine is due to the presence of the skins during the fermentation process of red wine. It is the skins of red or black grapes that give red wine its colour.

When the whole grapes are crushed the skin tends to rise to the surface.  They are pushed back down several times a day during the fermentation process so that they remain in contact with the liquid.

The sugar content

Grapes must be picked when ripe so that the sugar content is stable. Traditionally, grapes were picked by hand; these days many larger vineyards have their grapes picked by machine. In warmer climates they are often picked during the night. They then have to go through a process to remove the stems and any leaves or sticks. This too, is done by a machine that also lightly crushes the grapes.

Physical Fitness For Students

Posted on by beyondbparis

There have been many research papers written on the topics of health – and other subjects too, of course. These are often written by university students as part of their studies and may contain fresh or groundbreaking news about medicines or new ways to treat certain diseases. However, when you are spending your whole time writing and studying you won’t be physically fit, so it’s wise not to suddenly undertake any exercise such as lifting heavy furniture.

If you need to move into a new flat as many students do, let the pro removalists like Brilliance Removalists Perth do all the hard work of loading the truck, otherwise you could easily strain muscles or put your back out and end up suffering pain for weeks.

Most students do a great deal of studying, often to the detriment of their health. Spending all their time poring over their lessons and assignments in order to get good grades means they don’t have enough time to play a sport, swim or get their body fit. They are often too tired to even think about jogging or running for exercise.

7 Things to do Before Botox Treatment

Posted on by beyondbparis

Botox injections are a medical procedure and should always be carried out by a trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Before you have the Botox treatment there are several things you need to do to ensure the best results and reduce the chance of any negative side affects such as prevent bruising. Here is a checklist of 7 tips to help you out: –

  • Choosing the right doctor can make a world of difference to your Botox results. The doctor should be board certified, trained and experienced in facial anatomy and Botox treatment. He or she will then understand what each facial muscle does and where the best place is for the injections for the wrinkles or lines you want to have removed. Never allow just anyone to do the injections.
  • Tell your doctor all about your health and medical history. He needs to know if you are pregnant, what conditions, if any, you have and what medication or supplements you are taking.
  • Go off blood thinning medication and supplements before the treatment so that there will be less bruising. Vitamin E, fish oil, Ginseng and Gingko Bilboa are all supplements that thin blood. Aspirin is also a blood thinner as other prescription medications may also be.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol for a few days before the injections.
