Nail Inspiration 101

Our nails tend to be the most forgotten part of our bodies, yet the state of your nails can actually give out the state of your person at any given time.

When your nails look dirty, unkept and the polish seems to have chipped off, its often an indication that you are not taking proper care of yourself.

Even if you cant afford a manicure or pedicure, its a good investment to invest in a foot scrub stone and take care to leave hands and feet clean all day long.

If you are to fix artificial nails, please remember that the artificial nails doesn't have to sit on your natural nails forever. Please make sure you use less glue on your nails, keeping in mind the chemical nature of glue.

When you get your natural nails filed, it gives your nails a nice shape and also encourages nail growth. you can choose to maintain your natural nails as against constantly fixing on artificial ones

Hand and foot creams are not only for people who have dry skin, if your hands get into water a lot it will dry out. you can also use your day cream on your hands and feet if you are on a budget.

Even if you might like to constantly be in touch with your surroundings, getting flip flops and hand gloves is non negotiable. The bacteria flying around are so friendly that they are really quick to latch on you and cause all the harmful diseases you can imagine.

i dont think the role of healthy eating in general body care can be overemphasized but at the risk of sounding like a broken records i will say this

"incorporate fruits, proteins and vegetables into your diet"

You might not just implement all these at once, but take out time and do them a put the important points where you can see them everyday.

Stick around for more tips.....

Who Is a Fashion Stylist? (fashion styling 101)

Since the fall of man in the garden of eden, man has been subjected to wearing attires to cover up nakedness. Although, We seem o have come a long way from just wearing leaves, to wearing animal skin...... to wearing cotton,nylon etc....

Yet, Some people may still ask, whats the need to get someone to put together an outfit for us, when the pupose of clothing is 'just' to cover nakedness? The answer to this is simple, 'Looking good is not a luxury, looking good is a neccessity.'

Well some people might still want to argue, but then i ask them 'when you see someone with an overall dirty appearance on the street. what occurs to you? '

Then they think and they understand, and then the light bulb goes on in their head. Truth is whether we admit it or not, we all are individual brands and attire is part of building brands.

So if you ask me, who is a fashion stylist i would say hes the one who makes sure you are not looking like a mad person at any event.

For the records, heres how the dictionary defines the job of a fashion stylist

A wardrobe stylist also fashion stylist is the job title of someone who selects the clothing for published editorial features, print or television advertising campaigns, music videos, concert performances, and any public appearances made by celebrities, models or other public figures. Stylists are often part of a larger creative team assembled by the client, collaborating with the fashion designer, photographer/director, hair stylist and makeup artist to put together a particular look or theme for the specific project. A wardrobe stylist can also be referred to as a fashion stylist, fashion editor, or celebrity stylist. According to one view, "Stylists are the people who push each celebrity to make the best dressed list," and assist with editorial photo shoots

Always Use Clean Brushes!!!

Jo Gilchrist, 27, will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair after a staph infection invaded her body and attacked her spine.

She was rushed to hospital on Valentine's Day, writhing in pain and her body numb.

It started as a niggling ache in her back, which she put down to bad posture, but the pain grew worse.

"It got to the point I had to call one of those doctors who come to you because I couldn't get out of bed," she told Warwick Daily News.

"I rate the pain worse than childbirth. I literally thought I was going to die."

At first doctors could not diagnose her condition. When Ms Gilchrist started to lose feeling in her body, medical staff had to act swiftly.

"They told me if it went up my arms and chest I would have to learn to breathe again and it would be my parents' decision to turn the machines off," she said.

She was airlifted from her hometown of Warwick to Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital for emergency surgery.

When she eventually woke, she learned she had contracted community-associated MRSA - an antibiotic-resistant form of staph.

Doctors said the infection had attacked and damaged her spine so severely that she would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Ms Gilchrist is determined to prove doctors wrong.

"They first said I would never walk again but I got a wiggle out of my toes and I just kept fighting," she told the Warwick Daily News.

"This has been a real wake-up call. Before this I was just going through the motions and existing but now I have a huge fight for life. If someone tells me I can't do something, I keep going because just the look on their faces when I do it is worth it."

Ms Gilchrist is not yet clear of the infection, which she believes she caught from borrowing her mate's make up brush.

She will have to spend another three months in the spinal ward of the hospital before she can go home to her two-year-old son, Tommy.

Despite the long road to recovery, Ms Gilchrist is just happy to be alive.

"I was so lucky it went to my spine," she said. "If it went to my brain I would have died," she told Daily mail Australia.

"If it went to my limbs they would have been amputated.

"I feel like I've got a second chance at life."
