Eyebrow Threading Helps You To Maintain Perfect Shaped Eyebrows

It is a well-known fact if one has well-groomed eyebrows then it will definitely have an effect on one’s face and bring out the beauty of her eyes. Do you want to maintain perfect shaped eyebrows? Well, then one of the best ways by which you can easily do it is with the help of eyebrow threading.

Eyebrow Threading – Some Useful Information

Eyebrow threading is very advantageous because it does not allow the hair to grow very quickly.

Eyebrow threading is done by using a cotton thread. This thread is twisted over the hairs and this helps in removing them very quickly.

Eyebrow threading is not very expensive and the process also does not take much time.

It is worthwhile to know that threading is a long-lasting method of removing your hair. It just requires touch-up once every 4 weeks so that the eyebrows can retain its shape and look beautiful.

One of the most important benefits of eyebrow threading is that the hair takes a long time to grow back.

Threading does not leave any spot marks. Since the hair is uprooted completely, this area is neat and clean.

Eyebrow threading is done by an experienced and expert professional so you can definitely expect the best results.

With the help of threading, you can easily define and sculpt your eyebrows.

Permanent makeup helps to improve looks and even look natural at the same time. This makeup is used as a cosmetic enhancement. If you use permanent makeup then it will help you to save a lot of your time which otherwise you would have to spend on a daily basis for your makeup sessions. You should get this makeup done by a licensed and an experienced professional. Another thing which you should ensure when opting for this makeup is to check whether your makeup professional is using the best supplies which are available in the market today. It is worthwhile to know that with the help of permanent makeup you can achieve a refined look very easily.

If you are searching for eyebrow threading service provider then just get in touch with Browz by Bree at your earliest. We are based in Irvine and have been offering eyebrow threading service to clients for a long period of time.

Newspaper in a plant-based café in Russia

*(photo creds to my sister, who is also a world traveler)*

The second page is about the top 10 non-ethical products & the third page describes how to have a “green” pregnancy.

An earlier post on the blog linked to an article explained how raising children is terrible for the environment, but the post failed to elaborate on the 9 month phase before the baby is born.

Although I can’t read any Russian, I’ve done my own research to learn about this topic. I’ll expand on the pregnancy itself, and for all the optimistic people out there (can’t relate) I’ll explain how to make the world a cleaner and better place to raise a child (disclaimer: I do not think having children is the most responsible or ethical thing to do at this point in our environmental history).

Green Pregnancy: an oxymoron?

Part 1: Diet

The American Dietetic Association, as well as the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — the world’s largest organization of nutritional professionals — has deemed plant-based diets as “appropriate, nutritionally adequate, and beneficial for all stages of life, including pregnancy, lactation [lactose from the human mother, not stolen from other animals], infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and athletes...and can prevent and treat various diseases”. The groups even announced in 2016 how the plant-based diet is “more environmentally sustainable than a diet rich in animal products”, which is a huge deal coming from an organization specializing not in environmental issues but in nutrition. A vegan lifestyle with its plant-based diet is ultimately the best diet to consume while pregnant.

During pregnancy, along with B12 (which ALL people should supplement with as our modern dirt is no longer rich in this nutrient), it may be beneficial to supplement with folate. If you wish not to supplement, make sure to include lots of leafy dark greens in your diet. Try a green monster smoothie!

You may also wish to take a vegan-friendly prenatal. Thankfully, there are many brands that advertise with the vegan label, signifying no animal testing & no animal ingredients.

The World Health Association points out that 90% of dioxin exposure comes from the meat, dairy, and egg supply. Thankfully, a plant-based diet will help ensure this toxin (which is associated with hormonal damage, development damage, and reproductive damage) is nowhere near you or your growing baby.

Part 2: Harmful Ingredients/Chemicals

Some ingredients and chemicals should be avoided at all costs, whether or not they are truly “toxins”. Many chemicals humans are exposed to everyday can cross with the placenta and harm the developing baby.

LEAD: impair child’s brain development

ARSENIC: linked to poor brain development (can be found in some tap water, and some foods such as rice and products containing rice like flours or syrups)

PESTICIDES, INSECTICIDE, INSECT REPELLANTS: tied to neurological problems and birth defects to babies exposed in utero (avoid sprays, try to eat organic or take to a local farmer to learn whether they use pesticides) REMEMBER PEOPLE, INSECTS ARE CRITICAL TO OUR ECOSYSTEM & WE NEED THEM TO THRIVE AS HUMANS SO PLEASE STOP KILLING THEM THANKS

PHTHALATES: endocrine disruptors; can cause miscarriages and sterility in developing fetuses (found in personal care items, cosmetics, toys and nail polish, and more)

TRICLOSAN: linked to low birth weight and poor APGAR scores (a newborn health scale) — an ingredient in antibacterial soaps

many ingredients in skin care products can cause an increased risk of intracranial bleeding in the baby and birth defects: Salicylic acid, retinol, tetracyclines (this last one can cause tooth decoloring of the baby)

PAINTS: may contain lead; oil-based paints may negatively impact air quality

ORGANIC SOLVENTS: may be present in cleaning products, cosmetics, aerosol sprays, disinfectants, paint strippers and thinners, varnish and many other household products

MERCURY: toxic material does not break down in the environment (found in water & fish)

ASBESTOS: can be found in the home in old vinyl floor and ceiling tiles, old shingles and insulation, siding, stove, furnace and pipe insulation

This is by no means a complete list. Do your own research if you are concerned about a particular ingredient found in your food or home/clothing/etc. products!

Part 3: Clothing

Throughout the pregnancy, it is advisable to source ethical maternity wear. I know how is sounds: $$$$! While some brands may be expensive, there are several ways to acquire this clothing without breaking the bank or ruining the Earth.

1. the most ethical option is using clothes you already own! oversized clothing, stretchy pants, open-fronted sweaters and cardigans, and empire line dresses...those are just a few! sharing is caring- seek out female friends and family to see if they have any maternity clothing they are willing to give up.

2. Shop second-hand. If you have the luxury of living near great thrift stores (Paris, LA, Portland, and SF are all fantastic for this!) definitely go and try stuff on. If not, you can find great clothes on Depop, Ebay, Poshmark, and other second-hand online stores/apps. Frequent sales and promos will help you stay sane and know you aren’t going broke (a future post will contain a rant about people having children intentionally even if they know they can’t afford to care for the child)

3. If you have the cash, seek out brands that use recycled materials to create their clothing line. Frugi is an environmentally sustainable maternity-wear clothing store that steers clear of sweatshops, child labor, and poisonous pesticides, instead using recycled bamboo and other earth-friendly materials to craft its clothing.

Part 4: Plastic

Probably my most hated man-made material needs its own section.

Your tubber ware containers, plastic water bottles, shopping bags, etc. may seem conveniant, but they are terrible for the environment AND the baby.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical found in many hard plastics and items such as food packaging. Numerous studies have discovered how BPA can harm reproductive and brain development in fetuses, infants and children. BPA was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in baby bottles and children’s cups, but it does nothing to address the health concerns that BPA poses to pregnant woman, which include miscarriage, premature birth and still birth. According to an article in the New Scientist, even BPA-free plastic might not be as safe as you think. In tests conducted at Peking University, Beijing, the BPA substitute BHPF was found to cause fertility problems. Luckily, there are eco-friendly alternatives to plastic for storing your food and drinks. Glass bottles and containers may cost more than plastic and are heavier to transport if you’re out and about, but they’re ideal for the kitchen because they tend to hold up better in the microwave, don’t take on the characteristics of the food they hold and some of them can even go in the oven. For lightweight on-the-go solutions, choose silicone food storage bags and sealable paper bags.

Part 5: Living Green

You use a multitude of products everyday without even realizing it, whether you are cleaning the house, cleaning your body, applying makeup, etc.

An easy way to start living green while pregnant is to switch your shampoo. Many natural health experts recommend avoiding shampoos with the foaming agents sodium laureth, sulphate and ammonium laureth sulphate. These ingredients cause shampoo to lather, but they all test positive for 1,4-Dioxane, a proven cancer-causing petrochemical. The Body Shop is a great high street alternative, offering a variety of shampoos and other beauty products that are free not only from sulphates but also parabens. While parabens contain preservatives that prevent the growth of mould and bacteria, think before you massage them into your scalp. According to a study undertaken by Inserm, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, phenols such as parabens may disrupt the growth of baby boys both in the womb and during the first few years of life.

Many products (such as shampoos, lotions, soaps and deodorants) are known to contain potentially harmful petrochemicals known as phthalates, which are linked to permanent birth defects of the male reproductive system.

Nail polish may contain harmful solvents.

It’s important to remember that just because something is labelled ‘natural’, it doesn’t necessarily meant that it only contains ingredients made by mother nature. A bottle marked ‘organic’ must contain 95% organic ingredients, but those marked ‘natural’ or ‘made with organic ingredients’ may still contain the bad stuff. This is down to the frustrating fact that the beauty industry is yet to be properly regulated. No matter how appealing that body lotion smells, always ready the label carefully before massaging it into your bump. Also, avoid products that claim to be “cruelty-free” but are not remotely vegan-friendly.

Put off remodeling or building if you can, but if you do remodel, choose the least-toxic materials you can find, such as low- or no-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint.

Avoid renovations that require scraping, sanding or refinishing older walls or furniture. “One of the main sources of lead exposure in the U.S. today is lead paint in older houses (pre-1978),” says Ulrike Luderer, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health at University of California Irvine. “This is important because of the hand-to-mouth behavior of very young children.”

Lead levels accumulate in the body over time, and breathing in microscopic lead dust particles from windows and doors once coated with lead-based paint can cause irreversible neurological damage. Touching or mouthing objects coated with this dust is another common source of lead ingestion.

Part 6: Sleep care

Whether you are trying to sleep as a pregnant women or you are caring for your new environmentally-unsustainable offspring, you and this creature want comfort. Don’t keep yourself up at all worrying about toxins in your linens.

To avoid harmful substances in the linens, try to go organic. According to Deirdre Dolan and Alexandra Zissu, co-authors of The Complete Organic Pregnancy, “sheets shouldn’t be permanent-press or made with nylon or synthetic materials.” The manufacture of conventional cotton sheets requires large amounts of formaldehyde, bleaches, dyes, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Be low-impact!

Buy laundry linens with nontoxic laundry products. “Many families use separate laundry soap for their newborn’s clothing, but you can use baby-safe laundry soap for the rest of your family’s laundry as well,” says Kimberly Rider, author of Organic Baby. If you buy only one thing for the nursery, make it an organic mattress pad or cover.

Replace worn-out linens with organic-cotton varieties, which are now widely available and more affordable than ever. Cotton grown in the U.S. uses 25 percent of the insecticides in the world, so going organic will lighten the toxic load on your pillow and the planet.

Part 7: Cultivating the Garden

Growing a garden is one of the best pleasures in life. Whether it is outside or on the windowsill, breathing in chemical pesticides and chemicals is harmful to your and the baby. Natural fertilizers and nontoxic solutions are fortunely easy to find and use, and have become cheaper and cheaper over the years as demand rises.

The brand TerraCycle creates plant food and fertilizer using worm excrement packaged in recycled soda bottles.

Part 8: Go Green on Google?

Many people, myself included, love upgrading to the newest technology. Before purchasing electronics, however, make sure they have the Energy Star label, meaning they are energy-efficient.

Need to get rid of old electronics that are still somewhat functioning? Try a second-hand program, such as Ebay’s Rethink Program which acquires these materials to be repaired and sold. Even completely “useless” electronics that cannot even turn on can be recycled. R esources such as Earth 911) provide community recycling, donation and disposal options. Many college campuses have “e-waste” programs in which students and faculty can give up electronics to be sent to local facilities to use for the hardware or research purposes. Or, help the e-waste movement by passing old electronics on to friends and family. The camera may suck, but your cousin George just wants to check who wins the football game.

Part 9: Consider not having children

Save your money, time, and the planet! It’s a win-win-win!

CONCLUSION, TIPS, & MORE!

Bringing a baby into the world adds a considerable amount to one’s carbon footprint. If you are dead-set on raising a child into the world, despite the many environmental and ethical reasons not to (post coming soon elaborating on further issues), this is an opportunity to raise and educate your child to understand the environmental issues existing on our planet and what he or she or they can do to prevent or help the cause. Infants, toddlers, and children learn from their elders and are quick to pick up on habits and behaviors. Remember: once you bring a baby into this world, you are a parent but also a role model.

Meanwhile, how can you make the world a better place while you are pregnant? If you want your child to live a long and healthy life in a healthy environment on a healthy planet, then you must certainly realize your daily actions impact this environment. Don’t contribute to the environmental problems if you care about you child. Go green!

Some fun facts/tips

When selecting a midwife or ob/gyn, ask about environmental toxin and chemical exposures. Consider their response in your decision!

avoid foods in cans (legumes, beans, vegetables, soups, etc.) & opt for bagged beans/dry beans, fresh or frozen produce, etc.
