Quality and Style Make Sunglasses a Good Investment

Almost everyone today wears sunglasses at one time or another.  You can use them to accent your casual outfits or formal wear with style and sophistication.  You can combine a good quality with an attractive pair of sunglasses to achieve your practical needs and fashion desires.

There is a wide variety of designs from which you can select a pair that will polish-off your wardrobe and make your natural beauty more noticeable.  There will be designer styles available in a myriad of vibrant colours and with varying frames for you to choose.

Sunglasses do protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and glares that can cause eye problems; make sure that the sunglasses that you select are fashionable with a practical purpose as well.

Protection for Your Eyes

Your eyes need protection on a daily basis from excessive exposure to light and harmful UV rays.  A quality pair of sunglasses improves your visual comfort and clarity by protecting them from glare which can cause eye strain and accidents as well.

Your glasses should have the proper fit for you to receive the maximum benefit from wearing them.  Make sure that they are close enough to your face to keep out stray light but far enough away so that your eyelashes won’t smear your frames.

Remember that the price you pay doesn’t mean that you are getting more UV protection. Studies show that there is no correlation between high prices and UV coverage.  You want to look good but you want good protection for your sensitive eyes.

Be a Fashion Statement

When you decide to get new sunglasses, you should think about your hair and eyebrow colour and the natural skin tones that you have; your sunglasses should flatter and complement your physical features and colouring.

Also consider the dominant colour in your wardrobe and how often you wear it.  This same colour will make a good frame colour for your sunglasses and coordinate with many of your outfits.

As a rule, dark skin tones look better with darker frames or those that carry bright colours; pale skin and lighter coloured hair looks better with light-coloured or tortoise frames.  You should try them on to see which accent matches your features the best.

Be True to Your Personality

Sunglasses say a lot about your style, who you are, and what your personality is like; the eyewear that you select should be consistent with the fashion statement that you want to make.

If you’re a bold person, choose bold, dynamic frames; if you’re shy and quiet, pick frames that help you to be one of the crowed without drawing attention to yourself.

When buying sunglasses, it’s a good idea to take along a friend who knows you well and who will give you an honest opinion about how your sunglasses look on you.

You should seek a balance between the shape of your face and the shape of the frames that you choose; a good friend can see how they achieve this balance.  You want to make sure that your selection will be one with which you are pleased.

Final Note

Buying sunglasses can complement your style or change your look altogether; the choice is up to you.  You should select a quality pair of sunglasses that protects your eyes and gives you a stylish, dynamic look.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
