The use of pearl in these days is not only limited to the use of pearl earrings, but is also used in various other styles, since there happens to be a great demand from the people. The foremost of them are the pearl stud earrings. This has gained a great admiration in the recent years, since the pearl stud earrings are also well-designed in appearance. But it is true that they are modest and beautiful, but in no way are loud accessories. If you ever have those in your wardrobe or showcase, they are going to have great compliments, and whether you have it in stylish gown or a simple blouse and jeans, they will glitter in the same manner. After all, the pearl stud earrings are a wonderful fashion statement!
Well, we though talk of the pearl stud earrings very often, but in reality we are not much aware of their compositions. It is to be taken into consideration at the very outset that the pearl stud earrings happen to be beautiful due the presence of pearls to it. Now, at the time of buying pearls it is extremely necessary to consider several aspects, of which the shape, size, color, texture and luster are of prime importance. In the respect of pearl stud earrings the shape of the pearls has a highly significant role.
Why? The pearls do come in different shapes and the three main categories are spherical, symmetrical and baroque. In this case, the round and near-round pearls are considered spherical. In addition, while the drop, oval and button pearls are considered symmetrical, the pearls that are irregular and abstract in shape are the baroque pearls. But it is certainly not enough to know only the shapes. You must also be quite confident of the sizes. Remember that the size of the pearl is determined by the measurement of its diameter in millimeters. In general, it is learnt, that the value of the pearl heightens with the size of the pearl.
You can find at best the pearls that range between 5 to 7.5 mm. in the market. In respect of color you shall also have to be crystal clear. It is a general fact, that a pearl can have a different color ranging from the usual white and cream to green, gold, blue and black, only by the means of dependence on the mollusk or oyster that produced it. The color of a pearl is determined by the efficacy of the body color and overtone. Body color is the main color of the pearl while overtone is the iridescent tint that is found on its surface, on top of the main color.
You shall also have to be confident both about the texture and luster. While the bumps, spots and irregularities can affect the quality of the pearl, the luster affects the reflectivity of the pearl. The better it reflects light and surrounding objects, the better its quality. On the other hand, in respect of the pearl stud earrings combination, the pearls are the kind of gemstones that can work well when combined with other precious and semi-precious stones. It can work well with smaller diamonds, rubies or emeralds and can even shine with jade, garnet or moonstone.
There is no doubt that in all measures, the pearl stud earrings are still an elegant choice. Lastly, there is also a great need to tale proper care of the pearl stud earrings. The reason is, since the pearls are delicate organic gemstones they must be treated with special care. You shall have to keeping mind, that they are softer and easily scratched or cracked, once there is a single damage, in spite of great efforts none can restore the beauty.
Früher hat es ja mal geklingelt aber jetzt, steht es still und ich sitze und warte. Fast könnte man sagen ich warte auf den Feierabend. Schlimm aber was soll ich tun. Einer muss ja die Stellung halten.
Ich arbeite fleissig und ständig geistert mir durch den Kopf, was ich noch alles machen wollte. Frisuren checken, Beautytrpps lesen, um sie später zu testen. Genau was ich schon immer mal machen wollte. So ein Ärger. Gesichtsmasken testen, Allergien bekommen und wer weiss was sonst noch. Aber ich bin nun mal für Produktrecherche zuständig. Na ja wenn ich die Produkte schon da habe, dann teste ich sie und kann genauere Aussagen darüber machen. Den leckeren Lippgloss habe ich schon getestet, denn die benutze ich regelmässig.
I am a hair junkie. I admit it. I have no idea what my natural hair color is. Nothing, with perhaps the exception of a facial, makes me feel better than a good cut and color. There is something about sitting in that chair, diet coke in hand, magazine in lap, skilled hands working my strands that brings me peace in a way that nothing else does. I don’t know if it’s a natural high from breathing in the chemicals or the comfort of being in an environment where no one is at their best. At least walking in the door and during the process. It’s a place to let your guard down and enjoy being a woman in all the superficial ways that make it fun to be a woman. And right or wrong my self confidence soars when I know I’m looking good. Which brings me to my dilemma, how much should we pay for that high?
I have few vices. I’m not a huge shopper. I don’t indulge in frivolous buys, often. I try my very best to be as frugal as I can. But my hair is maintenance. Expensive maintenance. I have to admit I do pause when that bill comes and it’s $200.00 with tip and a product. Is that expensive for hair? I’m not sure. I have worked in a salon and day spa. I totally understand and appreciate the skill in involved in doing good hair. I totally understand and appreciate the time involved to do good hair. I have a thick head of hair. I’m in for 3 hours for a cut and foils. That’s a huge chunk of a stylist’s day, I get that. So my question is; how much is too much? What is a reasonable amount to pay for great hair?
And am I paying for the tangible hair that I can see on my head or am I paying for that feeling that only comes from the salon? I know that when I’m feeling down, when I’m feeling dumpy, when I’m feeling like, well, only a mom, I head for the salon. And 99.9% of the time I come out feeling renewed, refreshed and reinvented. I leave feeling on top of the world and ready to conquer. At least for the 6 weeks it takes for my roots to show…
So in the scheme of things is $200.00 a small price to pay for the feeling I get when I walk out the door? Or is it simply my drug of choice and I need an intervention?
Across all cultures and ethnic groups, men have always preferred women with large hips. One of the authors of the study explains that the reason for this lies in the traditional idea that large hips are a sign of high fertility. However, this study was looking for a different reason.
Apparently, the fat stored near the bum and hips is rich in LCPUFAs [long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids], specifically the DHA omega-3 [omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid]. The DHA is probably better known as an ingredient for artificial baby milks. The DHA is essential for the brain development of fetus and newborns. It is estimated that the IQ of a child increases 0.13 points for each 100mg of extra DHA daily intake during pregnancy.
That means Einstein-grade babies if you’re Alicia Keys or Beyoncé Knowles.
Coincidence or not, the humans, intellectually superior to all other animals, are the only species with a difference in the fat deposits between genders. And don’t forget that this difference only shows when women become fertile. Could this be a biological advantage for creating smarter babies?
You’re probably dying to know what is the perfect waist-hip ratio.. well.. the truth is that there isn’t one. Artists suggest some values, but these are quite flexible. In my part-time quest for translation beauty to numbers, I found one perfect value for ME. Strangely, it happens to be 1.618 – the Golden Ration – or Phi!
Here you go, three comparisons between waist and hips. The red line is the actual waist measure and the blue line is the supposed measure for a perfect ratio of 1.618. Make your own conclusions.
The study is called "Waist-hip ratio and cognitive ability: is gluteofemoral fat a privileged store of neurodevelopmental resources?” and was published in 2007 by William Lassek and Steven Gaulin.
