Preparing Your Summer Wardrobe For 2022

via

Now that the warmer weather is on its way, many of us are starting to ditch our winter coats for something a little more breathable, even if the sun hasn’t quite shown its face too much yet. Now is a great time to begin preparing our summer wardrobes for 2022, in order to make the most of the natural opportunities shining our way.

This year it’s all about color and the willingness to express ourselves, given that the last two years have mostly prevented us from doing exactly that. If you can prepare your summer wardrobe in this way, then you’ll be able to mix and match styles depending on your mood, and of course, always bring radiance with you no matter where you go.

It might be that due to a lack of constant socialization these last two years, the novelty of your wardrobe has worn a bit thin, and new investments need to be made. In this post, let’s discuss a few worthwhile means of grounding your wardrobe from the bottom up:

Accessorize Up!

It’s healthy to accessorize up to the degree that you can, bit by bit. This might involve adding some neutral jewelry, trying a new tone, or purchasing yourself one accessory you’ll wear over the course of a summer, such as a beautiful watch with floral design or a hat that keeps your neck shaded. Small additions like this can help you theme your outfit or cause small changes in similar outfits to help you differentiate your wardrobe, as well as offer creative fun in this space in the best possible light.

Perfect Your Shoes

Perfecting your summer shoe collection can make sure that no matter what situation you’re in, event you’re invited to, or outfit you’re trying to complete, you’ll be able to finish it off with a great set of shoes. This might include opting for SAS shoes, switch are beautiful and durable, but it could also mean having older shoes of yours re-shined and repaired so that they sparkle brand new. A great pair of boots can benefit from this treatment. Also, don’t be afraid to purchase a few uncool but comfortable beach sandals - you never know when an impromptu vacation might be on the cards.

Consider 3 Formal Event Outfits

In order to prevent times when you 'have nothing to wear’ it can be nice to prepare three formal event outfits in advance. Of course, the spectrum of formality can be catered to here, rather than buying three evening gowns. This might involve the use of a comforting formal outfit you use to attend sports games, such as an over the shoulder cardigan and re-lacing trousers, or it might include a dress you can wear on those breezy summer evenings depending on your tastes. At the very least, having these three to hand can make sure that no matter what you’re invited to ahead of time, you at least have one item you can wear with confidence.

With this advice, we believe you’ll prepare your summer wardrobe in the best possible way in 2022 and beyond.

Tackling Thinning Hair

via

If you’ve noticed that your hair is thinning, or if a loved one’s hair is thinning, you may have a lot of questions on the subject. You may also be wondering what you can do to combat this natural process and make your hair thicker, or, at least, feel and look thicker. Here’s some information on the subject that can help.

Why Does Hair Thin?

Hair thinning and hair loss is extremely common as we age. In fact, nearly everyone will experience some degree of hair loss as the years pass by. There are various reasons for this. One is that the average person’s rate of hair growth simply slows as their body ages. Hair strands can also become smaller and have less pigment. Even if you had thick, coarse hair during your younger years, those reaching middle age and older ages tend to find themselves with thin, fine, light-colored hair. You may find that many of your hair follicles stop producing new hairs too. Men can often start showing signs of baldness by the time they are 30 years old, with many being completely or almost bald by the age of 60. This is called male-pattern baldness, which often starts out at the temples or at the top of the head, and is related to the normal function of the male hormone testosterone. Women can develop female-pattern baldness, where hair becomes finer and you may start to see the scalp through hair.

How to Tackle Thinning Hair

There are, of course, various things you can do to combat signs of thinning hair. Here are a few that you might want to take into consideration.

Hair Transplants and Treatments

Perhaps the most effective way to tackle thinning hair is to have a hair transplant or a hair treatment like FUE hair transplantation (Follicular Unit Extraction) carried out. These procedures can help your body to start naturally growing your own, natural hair again. It’s important that you choose a qualified professional if you do choose to have these procedures, ensuring that they are training and have plenty of experience alongside good reviews.

Scalp Massage

Scalp massages can encourage circulation in your scalp, which can, in turn, encourage hair growth through stimulation of the hair follicles. Whether you decide to go for a professional massage or use a range of home head massaging tools, this is a step that can really help.

A Healthy, Balanced Diet

A healthy and balanced diet can give your body the nutrients it needs to thrive. Look to get plenty of vitamin A, B, C, D and E in your diet, as well as iron, zinc and plenty of protein. If you’re struggling to tick all of these boxes, you could also try supplements.

Essential Oils

Many people claim that essential oils can help with hair growth. Popular options include Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, Cedarwood and Lemongrass - and they all smell great too!

These are just a few suggestions, but each could help you to encourage and promote hair growth with the best results.
