Epilator: The Best Hair Removal Technique

2016-06-06T19:50:00.000+05:30

Gone are the days when beauty was perceived only from the face. Being beautiful means a pretty flawless look from head to toes. And you must wear a smart and sexy dress – the backless, sleeve less, deep neck and the miniskirts. Of course they are great to flaunt your feminine beauty, but only when you are ready to wear them. What I mean is hair removal on a regular basis is just one of the necessities for chic ladies.

So if you are reading this article, I guess you know what an epilator is. Yes, it’s one of the numerous ways to bring you the most desired silky smooth skin by removing unwanted hairs. It’s an electric device, quite handy and comfortable to deal with. Epilator is the latest revolution in the world of beauty gadgets. Let’s know it better!

Epilator Vs Other hair Removal Techniques –

Epilator is one hand-held device that has rotating tweezers attached to its head. When it moves on the skin, surface hairs are trapped either in a rotating head of its tiny tweezers or in the coiled spring. You can choose varying rotation speeds. It may have a separate electric razor to apply on sensitive body parts where tweezing is painful. Some also have a cool ice-pack that can be attached to avoid red skin after the epilating process. New models are available which are specially meant for face. This gadget is suitable for all body parts like legs, arms, underarms, bikini area and face. And the result is ultra smooth skin within half an hour. Let’s compare the other most common ways of hair removal.

Waxing is believed to be the oldest technique where hot or cold wax is directly applied on the skin. Once solidified, cotton strips are pressed against it and pulled out quick that snatches out all the hairs on that part. The method is a bit painful. Moreover, you need to wait till hairs are long enough to apply waxing again or you may miss the very short hairs. Doing it at home is inconvenient.

Threading is all about twining a fine cotton thread around the hairs to pull them out. Only single or a small bunch of hair can be removed at once. Hairs are taken out from the root, so re-growth becomes slow, but it’s a time-consuming process. Only well-trained professional can perform the threading method.

Depilatory Creams are available that chemically dissolves the unwanted hair. They are pain-free and inexpensive. But most of them come with an unpleasant smell. After long use it can lead to skin irritation or black patches.

Advantages Of Epilator –

· As epilator removes the hair from root; silky smooth skin lasts up to 4 to 5 weeks.

· Regular epilation helps to reduce the number of in-growing hairs.

· Epilators are capable of removing very short hairs; say 0.5mm or so. While waxing needs the hair lengths to be at least 2mm in size.

· You can carry it everywhere and use at your ease. No prior preparation needed.

· The cooling pack and messaging option make it a comfortable experience.

Disadvantages Of Epilator –

· Using Epilator may seem painful for first few times.

· You may find it uncomfortable in delicate areas.

With compared to other options, epilator seems to be the best way out to get rid of unwanted hairs. That’s the reason it’s one of the favorite products for modern women. After all new inventions are made for us. Why not take advantage of them?

Design Chic: Polyhedrons and Pots

2015-04-21T19:53:00.000+05:30

OMG designs! Tell me if you have any perfect words in you mind for this super idea of polyhedrons and pots? It's like giving a 3D shape to the virtual imagination of techno-art. Yes, we may take some time to analyse and understand this, but we must appreciate the out of the box talent. it's a combination of mathematics, innovation, technological mind, feminine ideas and green thoughts. The credit goes to iAN Yen & Design YxR

So let's have a look what yanko design talks about it --

"It sounds a bit complicated, but the explanation is worth the effort – apparently there are only five regular polyhedrons in the world, and the dodecahedron is the most stable shape of them. Using this shape in an innovative form, we have the 12 Faces of Structure – Potholder; an interesting take on geometry.

As he explains it, “I have tried to disassemble the dodecahedron as two halves with 6 structures of each as a potholder on the table. When using, just take a half and unfold on the table so you could put the pot on it. It could be combined as a dodecahedron again with its magnet core.”An interesting interface!"

No matter if you don’t meet the required number at once. Start afresh! Go on. Tell me, how many retakes you needed to complete the first board you played!

How beautifully a war theme is turned into peaceful object! That's a nice idea.
So we can see all bombs are not meant to be destructive! Isn't it? This peaceful white bomb is a part of design team Biaugust's Peace Collection. I would love to decorate some green leafs along with the flowers. That adds soothing touch to the eye and soul. It can't relieve the pain of Gaza War, but I must say it's lovely and nice theme.

In the words of its creator -
Peaceful because it helps nurture life. Add some flowers or green plants in this vase and help it sprout life! In addition to its genius design, this vase transmits an anti-war and peacekeeping message to you. Part of proceeds benefits Biaugust's cause A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). What a great way to send a message across!

Button Craft

2014-01-24T18:00:00.000+05:30

Some people see the things differently. The elements, to which we call random, useless, scattered or boring may seem very pretty to them. Take for example the buttons in our rejected clothes. Not all but only creative minds pick them up! It's an aged-old style to use buttons in making crafty cards and to renew
old clothes, covers etc. Buttons are colorful and attractive.... even kids love to eat at times. But some people are so obsessed with button craft that they can make amazing art with them. I am talking about this SortRatureguys.Simple landscape with tree and some bushes. But quite interesting, you can see!

Apple Dessert : Creamy Yummy

2014-01-20T17:44:00.000+05:30

It's a creamy smoothie kind of sweet dish. I just tried as an experiment but came out something very delicious. So yummy!
And don't worry, everybody gonna love it for sure - kids or aged. made in short time and with few easy steps. Things we need are apple, milk, custard powder of your choice, a bowl of cream, Sugar and liquid chocolate for decorating. Roughly smash peeled & boiled apples. Mix thick custard prepared with milk, sugar & custard powder (I have used strawberry essence). Blend well but leaving some mini pieces to get the taste of apple. Pour some fresh cream. Then some liquid chocolate to make it even more tempting. Ready - yes, it's that simple!

Best idea to use the leftover apples which have lost the charm & freshness.

Flower Ice cubes. What a brilliant idea to decorate the center-table! And the good thing is you can make different unique center piece everytime there is a dinner party at home.
Don't need to bother a lot or spend a lot in decorating the dining table. This is not just a beautiful idea, but it gives relaxation to mind. The very sight of flowers are soothing to eyes and re-energizes one tired mood. Making this transparent cubes are equally easy - just pick up the fresh colorful flowers (I would prefer buds at times) and set in the ice-trays. Options are many- leafs, pretty petals, bud etc. Decorate it in a glass container before you call for the dinner. Pretty idea! This can be used for drinks as well.
