Social Saturday

Sometimes you start with an idea and it goes well for a time and then, life happens. Regardless, my creative time and energy are worth me trying again.

Spring has been slow to emerge consistently in Virginia and we've had some very cool days and nights with sprinkles of warm weather. 🌡

I'm glad I kept this blue knit cord style sweater on hand for such a time. 🔵

Meanwhile flowers are blooming 💐

[honeyrosepetals]

thank u for the tag @fadeintoyou1993 🫶🏻💗

favorite color: sea foam blue 🌊

last song: this is going to sound crazy but i haven't listened to music in like a week bc ive been binging different podcasts. dont cancel me but ive been really enjoying tana mongeau's pod bc she's funny and i am intrigued by the behind the scenes of rich girl life. it's entertaining at the very least ✨

last movie: ice age 4 🦣 🧊

currently reading: snakes and snake hunting by carl kauffeld, which is stories about his field work looking for snakes in the US in the 1930s (it's so interesting but it's out of print and was published in 1957 so my goal is to work on scanning it and uploading it to libgen so people can read it) 🐍

currently watching: rewatching parks and rec for the third time 🛝

currently craving: a leopard print bikini and the beach with someone blonde and tall (a girl can dream!!) 🏖️

coffee or tea: i like tea better but i drink iced coffee more regularly bc it has more caffeine. my favorite tea is a blend called marie antoinette from carytown teas and it's a black tea with rose petals and dried apples 🌹

DIY Lash Extensions vs. Professional Application: Is It Worth the Risk?

Lash extensions have become a beauty staple for those craving voluminous, fluttery lashes without the daily hassle of mascara or falsies. But as the trend grows, so does the debate: should you attempt DIY lash extensions at home or invest in a professional application? For residents of Richmond searching for "lash extensions Richmond," this decision is especially relevant. Let’s break down the risks, costs, and outcomes of both options to help you decide what’s best for your lashes—and your safety.

The Rise of DIY Lash Kits: Tempting, But Tricky

DIY lash extension kits have surged in popularity, promising salon-quality results at a fraction of the cost. These kits often include semi-permanent lashes, adhesives, and tools for at-home application. The appeal is clear: convenience, affordability, and the ability to experiment on your own schedule. However, the reality isn’t always as glamorous as the packaging suggests.

Pros of DIY Lash Extensions:

Cost Savings:Professional lash extensions in Richmond can range from 100to100to300+ per session, while DIY kits start at $20.

Flexibility:No need to book appointments or leave your house.

Learning Curve:With practice, some users achieve decent results.

Cons of DIY Lash Extensions:

Safety Risks:The biggest concern is the adhesive. Many DIY glues contain harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, which can cause allergic reactions, irritation, or even corneal damage if mishandled.

Application Challenges:Applying individual lashes requires precision. Uneven placement, clumping, or improper bonding can lead to discomfort, lash loss, or damage to natural lashes.

Time-Consuming:What takes a professional 60–90 minutes might take a novice hours—with less impressive results.

Why Professional Lash Extensions in Richmond Are Worth the Investment

Professional lash technicians undergo extensive training to master techniques like classic, volume, or hybrid lash applications. In Richmond, certified lash artists use medical-grade adhesives and sterilized tools, ensuring both safety and longevity.

Pros of Professional Application:

Expertise:Technicians assess your eye shape, natural lash health, and desired look to create a customized design.

Quality Products:Salons in Richmond often use hypoallergenic adhesives and premium lashes that are lighter and more durable than DIY options.

Longevity:Professionally applied lashes last 3–6 weeks with proper care, while DIY sets may shed within days.

Safety First:Professionals isolate each natural lash to prevent clumping or damage, reducing the risk of irritation or infection.

Cons of Professional Application:

Higher Cost:Regular touch-ups can add up, though many Richmond studios offer membership discounts.

Time Commitment:Booking appointments requires planning around your schedule.

The Hidden Risks of DIY Lash Extensions

While saving money is appealing, DIY lash extensions come with risks that aren’t always obvious:

Eye Injuries:Accidentally gluing lashes to your skin or getting adhesive in your eyes can lead to infections or vision issues.

Lash Damage:Improper removal can pull out natural lashes, leading to sparse regrowth.

Allergic Reactions:Even if a kit claims to be “safe,” ingredients may trigger unexpected sensitivities.

Choosing the Right Professional in Richmond

If you’re searching for “lash extensions Richmond,” prioritize salons with certified technicians, glowing reviews, and a portfolio of their work. Ask about their sanitation practices and adhesive ingredients during consultations. Many Richmond lash studios, like those in Scott’s Addition or Carytown, offer patch tests to rule out allergies before application.

The Verdict: Safety Over Savings

While DIY kits might seem like a budget-friendly shortcut, the risks often outweigh the rewards. Professional lash extensions in Richmond provide a safer, more polished outcome tailored to your unique features. The expertise of a trained artist ensures your natural lashes stay healthy, and the results last longer.

That said, if you’re determined to try DIY, opt for temporary cluster lashes or magnetic liners instead of semi-permanent extensions. These alternatives are less risky and easier to remove.

Final Thoughts

Your eyes are delicate—and deserve expert care. For Richmond residents, investing in professional lash extensions means enjoying stunning, safe results without compromising lash health. After all, when it comes to beauty treatments, some things are best left to the pros.

Ready to enhance your lashes? Book a consultation with a trusted Richmond lash artist today and experience the difference that skill and quality products make!

📍carytown - richmond, va

[shockoerecords]

Josh Rogosin, a previous producer from Tiny Desk, met Ms. Jaylin Brown in Valencia, Spain while giving a workshop at the Berklee College of Music satellite campus. He was invited to a taping of an episode of Sandbox Sessions, and Jaylin was the artist, and as soon as he heard her voice, he knew he had to find out where she lived and do an episode of Global Sound Concerts with her. Josh has been traveling the world to capture people performing in their hometowns. Jaylin chose Plan 9 because they serve as a hub for all musicians where locals can promote shows and find musical gems in one place. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtyzxL9fIwM

Dammit I forgot about the annual Cone Parade again

Last month, I took a little day trip out to Carytown - a historic shopping district in the heart of Richmond, VA. I went for two reasons: 1) to see Carytown during the Christmas season and 2) to put my long ago abandoned digital camera to use.

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! ¡Feliz martes! Hoy os traigo la foto de Richmond, la capital del estado de Virginia, una ciudad impregnada de historia y encanto sureño. Sus calles empedradas y elegantes mansiones coloniales narran relatos del pasado, mientras que el río James serpentea a través del horizonte, brindando un escenario pintoresco. Con una escena artística y culinaria en constante evolución, los barrios como Carytown ofrecen boutiques eclécticas y restaurantes innovadores. Monument Avenue, flanqueada por majestuosas estatuas conmemorativas, refleja la rica herencia de la ciudad, aunque también plantea preguntas sobre su interpretación histórica. En medio de parques expansivos y museos fascinantes, Richmond fusiona su legado con una elegante modernidad, creando un ambiente cautivador para residentes y visitantes por igual.

Para tener en cuenta...

Mantente fiel a ti mismo. No te preocupes por lo que piensen los demás de ti o por la forma en que intentan hacerte sentir. Si las personas quieren verte como una buena persona, lo harán. Si quieren verte como una mala persona, absolutamente nada de lo que hagas los detendrá. Irónicamente, cuanto más intentas mostrarles tus buenas intenciones, más razones les das para derribarte si están comprometidos a malinterpretarte. Mantén la cabeza en alto y ten confianza en lo que haces. Ten confianza en tus intenciones y mantén tus ojos hacia adelante en lugar de perder el tiempo con aquellos que quieren arrastrarte hacia atrás. Porque no puedes cambiar las opiniones de las personas, debes creer que el verdadero cambio para ti viene de dentro de ti, no de nadie más.

Stay tuned for a…
