ways to store my ear rings

i didn't wear ear rings till three years ago, it has never occured to me that wearing ear rings actually is a good way to beauty our look and dressing. i began to love and also buy ear rings and has since bought quite a few and the collection is still going. but i realise that i have problem storing my ear rings, i threw it in a recycle body shop container and you can see that it is quite messy, especially tanggling ear rings that will entangle with each others.

this is handling on the candle, i am not sure whether it is a good ideas as i am afraid the tip of the ear rings will be cover with wax.

this is a different way to store the ear rings, it is hang on a piece of fabric, which i thought it is quite nice.

i like this ideas, this is using the photo frame and you take out the back of the frame replaced it with a fabric. you can hang the photo frame and it become as part of the picture hanging on the wall.

My Curly Hair

A: you perm your hair?
me: no lah, is my natural curly hair.
A: good leh, don't need to perm, save money.
me: hmmm... I dont perm my hair. the curl is too messy and I cannot manage it.

you see, i have natural curly hair and i find it hard to manage. it is that type of big curl and it curl like nobody business, especially after a hair wash, the curl is more obvious. there are days i cannot manage my hair and i have to tie it up. my hair is short and little, so it looks weird when i tie up my hair.

i try to blow my hair straight after each wash, but it is that kind of right hand versus left hand issues. i got my left side of the hair straight but not the right side of my hair cos i am a right hand person and i hold my dryer on my right hand with a comb at my left hand, so the coordination is kind of out for my right side hair. anyway, if it sound confuse to you. the end resulf after blowing my hair is my left side look straight but not my right side hair....got it? still confuse?

my hair, my hair, should i rebond it again? headache!

Rent a bag

Bag, either small or big, for causal use, shopping use or going for a function, is one of the accessories a lady cannot not to have it. We have to make sure our bag match our dressing and the funtion we are going. One can make you feel miserable during the whole funtion if your bag is kind of mismatch with your occasion or your dressing.

If you are rich, that is you will have many types, kinds of bags to match your occasion. But not for people who are not that rich to have many matching bags for different occasion. It is not that cheap to own a branded bag (I will love to have one, but I know my pocket does not permit it).

Here is one website http://www.thatbagiwant.com/ where one can rent a bag and I thought it is really cool. I did not have to come out a sum of money to buy it and yet I still can have it for an occasion.

Delivery is 4 hours advance and they deliver it to your doorstep (cool!). However, booking has to be 2 days in advance (that is reasonable). Rental are on a weekly basis with rental range from $39 to $89 a week (price look reasonable). You can rent it up to 12 weeks.

I went to the website, overall it looks good, except I find that the range is kind of a bit little. Not many selection for dinning purpose, you know the kind which is small and handy type where you can carry on hand and make you look elegant. Maybe sometime in the future they will add on more range of bags and more for dinning purposes. I have not try to rent it yet, but I should if one day when I need it to attend a function. Overall, it is a good ideas to rent a bag then to own it.

Ear Candling - is it safe?

Sometimes ago, my colleagues went for ear candling at a beauty salon situated at my office down stair. After the session, my colleagues claimed that their ear is much clean than before and the salon staff has even showed them the dark debris which was the dirt inside their ear. I was almost convinced by my colleagues to try it. Fortunately I did not do it.

Ear candling is actually not recommended by doctor. In fact, there was no scientific proof to support claims that ear candling provides medical benefits.

Ear candling is done by lighting one end of a hollow candle and placing the other end in the ear canal. The smoke that flows through the ear canal is supposed to create suction that will help remove the wax and dirt in the ear. However research said that the suction power from the candle is not possible to suct the wax. Since wax is sticky, the pressure needed to pull wax from the canal would have to be so powerful that it would rupture the eardrum in the process and candling procduce no vaccum, so how does it work?

The layer of wax has a protective role, it cleans and lubricates the ear and protect the ear canal from bacteria and fungus. The ear has a self-cleaning system that naturally removes ear wax, and actually most people do not require additional cleaning. The doctor said that ear candling could actually lead to complications like ear infections or compressed ear wax and when ear wax becomes compressed, it could lead to a blocked ear. Instead the doctor suggested to use over-the-counter ear drops which will make ear wax soft and allow it to flow out on its own.

The next time before we try anything new, it is good to do some research and the best is to wait and look for any review. It is never too late to try but it will be too late if anything negative happen.
