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.

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 such as Sivana Rehab 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.
