Laser Hair Removal at Home is Both Safe and Convenient

Raymond A. Finnie — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:21:26 +0000

The concept of laser hair removal has been available and offered to the public for more than 20 years now, and the results are always followed by shear joy from the customer. Now with modern technological innovations added to the basic laser hair removal procedure, the same laser technology used by professionals for clinic performed laser hair removal, is now available for permanent results in the comfort and privacy of the home, at a mere fraction of the cost of continued clinic treatments.

A new hand held device that resembles a home hair dryer, has revolutionized the laser hair removal business. Reviews about the personal home use of the laser hair removal devices have nothing but praise and good comments about using this innovation that totally replaces the spa or clinic visit or the shaving and home waxing that so many people loath.

Medical experts have approved and endorsed the use of these new laser hair removal tools as being safe and doing a through job of removing body hair. And when you add up the cost of shaving, shaving supplies and the occasional waxing, the average price of £ 350. Then add that to how much the pain and aggravation that can come from manual shaving and waxing and you’ll see that the price is not an such an issue anymore.

The World’s 5 Best Shopping Cities

Monique A. Davis — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:16:54 +0000

Pleasure, variety and things you can’t get in the local mall are the hallmarks of a truly great shopping city. Here, from Greenwich Mean Time heading east, are seven cities no true shopper should miss.

London
Landmark stores and designer boutiques on Oxford Street, bespoke tailoring on Saville Row and Jermyn Street, hip young East End designers, open air markets, glamorous food halls, antiques from Portobello Road and quirky little one-off shops thrown in for good measure – who could possibly ask for more? London is still top of the shops, and probably always will be.

Paris
There’s more to Paris than the grand department stores on Boulevard Haussmann or the luxury boutiques of Avenue Montaigne and Rue du Faubourg St-Honoré. See tomorrow’s trends today at boutiques in the Marais, indulge your inner chef at cookware shops scattered throughout the city, mine the vintage shops for cast off couture and whatever you do, don’t forget the Fleas.

Copenhagen
With wide shopping streets closed to all but pedestrians, Copenhagen offers some of the most pleasurable shopping on the planet. In Grønnegade you’ll find fresh local design talent while Armagertorv street is a must for lovers of classic Scandinavian glassware, porcelain, and home accessories. Nearby Strøget and Købmagergade streets mingle internationally-known designers with small shops and cafes just for that mid-afternoon pastry fix.

Hong Kong
Have the mega mall experience here if you wish, but the real charm of Hong Kong is its lively markets. For the ultimate in bargains – and crowds – the Nathan Road area is not to be missed. The historic Stanley Market is the place for collectible Chinese art and porcelain, while the streets of Li Yuen East and West are lined vendors of all sorts.

Shanghai
Beijing may be bigger, but Shanghai is a lot more fun. In addition to huge malls, two of which are underneath Xiangyang Road at People’s Square, you’ll find markets almost everywhere. Huaihai Lu is the main shopping avenue, but also try the Old Town Bazaar for antiques, 50 Moganshan Art District for cutting edge art and design, and the Shanxi Lu Night Market for Shanghai’s version of les marches aux puces.

New York
Not only does New York have everything, it has it in a compact space arranged for your convenience. Searching fabric, bridal lace, or exotic trim? West 30s. Designer shops? Upper Madison Avenue. Antiques and vintage clothes? Chelsea and the Village. Cookware worthy of a five star restaurant? The Bowery. With a map and a subway pass, this city is yours.

Buenos Aires
A favourable exchange rate makes South America’s most beautiful city one of its most affordable, where top-quality leather and cashmere sell for a fraction of what they would elsewhere. The Palermo Soho area is a great place to find local designers, hip house-wares and colourful street vendors. Shop the clothing outlets on Cordoba and Sante Fe avenues, then take your savings to San Telmo for a final spin through the antique shops.

This is the golden age of global shopping, with bargains, entertainment, and local sight-seeing opportunities that more than makes up for the cost of getting there. Don’t miss out.

When taking a trip to any of these cities, make sure you take one from the many American Express cards on offer, which will enlighten your trip a great deal with special benefits and privileges.

Have Fun With Layers

Work with scarves, blazers and jackets, jumpers or vests, buttoned shirts and knit tops. Have fun working with bright, bold colours. Don’t stick with the same old pairing, but figure out some new things to do with your same old wardrobe.

Explore New Colours
Winter is generally a time when people get stuck in ruts. It’s easy to do with your clothing. Instead of sticking to those same old dark colours, be brave and try something new. Make conscious efforts to try new colour combinations. Try to wear more bright colours than you would naturally. Get new pieces in shades you’ve never tried. Be brave and have fun!
