One of the best ways to save money while touring the world is to eat like locals. That means indulging into street foods, pop kiosks and other eateries you’ve never tried in your whole life. Unfortunately, not every place that sells street food is clean.

No one wants to experience food poisoning while on their dream vacation abroad. Follow these tips to enjoy street meals and not get sick.

Eat where the Locals Crowd

Stalls with the longest queues are mostly the safest for foreigners. The locals love these places and will line up until they buy what they want. Stalls with a wide variety of customers are better as they show you different people eat there. By variety, check out whether women and children are queued up too.

Some stalls are crowded by young men who probably do menial job. While there is nothing with that, they may be more resilient to poorer food qualities than you are.

Take a Glimpse at the Kitchen

With most street food stalls, you can watch as the cooks prepare foods. Watch out how they handle the ingredients, money and other items. If no gloves are used and they keep touching money plus the food, don’t eat there. Stalls with two or more people taking different roles are better as they are better able to keep things clean.

Eat together with Locals

Because of how foods in street stalls are preserved, it’s easy for bacteria to form up and expose you to food poisoning. Eating at the time of the locals give you a chance to eat the food while it’s still fresh. Take note of the cleanliness of the cutlery. You may want to carry your baby wipes to clean up the plates should you suspect they are not fully clean.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Few people love being told about their flaws. But if you think about it, understanding the areas you are not good at and working on them is what makes you a better person. Stop ignoring your shortcomings and learn how to improve yourself by tapping on your strengths.

Identify your Strengths and Imperfections

You want to be a better person. If so, begin by identifying what you are good at and what you are not. List at least five good things about you. Think carefully and outline at least three things you firmly believe are your flaws. Keep in mind flaws mean behaviors like impatience and being quick to anger.

Shift Focus to your Strengths

While it’s important to know your weaknesses, don’t put all your focus there. The goal is to use your strengths to improve the person you are. As such, pay more focus to what you are good at. With that in mind, set goals on getting rid of your weak areas.

Goals and Progress

Don’t expect to rid of your anger and procrastination overnight. The best way to improve on your weaknesses is to set goals and to monitor your progress. If you used to postpone paying your bills for up to a week and now you pay them after two days, that’s progress.

Ask for Guidance

Your weaknesses are strengths to someone else. Find someone who is good at things you are not and let them help you in your journey. Consider also using resources like books to improve on yourself. It has worked for others and it could work for you too.

There is more to art than music, paintings, and acting. Art is an enormous industry that has room for everyone with a tad bit of creativity. So, you love to write? That’s your art. You are a fan of selfies? You are one step away from being a photographer.

If you have an interest in any form of art, get inspired to become more passionate about it. Learn how art can change your life and why everyone can become an artist.

Art Inspires Creativity

What’s art if not the ability to turn your creativity into ideas people will love? When you pick that guitar, your brain starts to brainstorm for music ideas. The best points hit your mind when you are in the act of doing what you love. So, pick that camera or whatever tool invokes the artist in you.

Art Challenges you

Some people call art an infinite intellectual puzzle. And true, real artists don’t stop working until their last breath. Writers continue to document stories in their old age. Musicians sing until they can sing no more. When you are an artist, you find challenges that inspire you to better yourself.

There is No Wrong Answer

Unlike science, there is no wrong answer in art. When two artists take on a challenge, the winner is the artist whose artwork impresses the most. Your audience is your judge. If you decide to indulge in photography, tattooing, knitting or any form of art, learn what people want. Produce different products and let your audience decide what they love the most.

Technology makes it Easy to Share your Work

With social media and the Internet in place, your artwork shouldn’t be hidden from the world. Be creative and constantly share your artwork. Keep in mind there is no wrong answer. Be bold and passionate about what you love.

You’ve probably heard it before—self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. But no matter how many times it is said, most of us tend to indulge in everything else apart from self-care.

Whether it’s doing everyday house chores, work duties or volunteer services, you probably do a lot of work every day. In 2019, think differently. Invest some time taking care of yourself. Not the usual manicure, massages or TV.

 Adopt a routine that cultivates peace and a sense of wellbeing by doing the following.

Take a Vacation

If you didn’t travel a lot in 2018, make it your point to visit somewhere new in 2019. It doesn’t have to be far. Think of the best place you can visit in your city, state or country. If you can afford it, book a trip overseas. You’ll live to remember it.

Learn to accept what you Can’t Change

When personal struggles seem to overwhelm you, always remember that you are not your circumstance. You can only change what you have power over. If you can’t change something, like someone’s hate for you, move on.

Appreciate what you have

First things first, appreciate everything that you are. Appreciate your beauty, your talents and your life. Work hard for everything you dream of. But always take a step back to appreciate what you earn or granted in life.

Do What Makes you Happy

Listen to your favorite songs if you love music. Watch TV once in a while and read books whether you love them or not. Take a dance class or join a yoga class. Whatever makes you happy in life, do it every time you have the chance.

Enjoy Life

In the words of Steve Jobs, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” Know your dreams and go for them. Think independently and enjoy your life.

If you feel down, stressed and nostalgic about the good old days, you probably deserve some self-care. You could listen to music, visit a friend or stay at home and binge-watch your favorite show.

But if you want to burn off the negative energy and lift up your spirits quickly, burn some Smudge bundles.

What is Smudging?

Smudging is the art of burning special types of herbs to absorb their ionic compounds for aromatherapy and other healing benefits. The practice has existed for centuries, most especially in the Americas.

Usually, you purchase herbs like lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary, and Palo Santo wood. Each of the herbs offers different benefits.

Sage and Lavender

Sage bundles prepare you psychologically before you begin to meditate. Consider the herb the primer of aromatherapy. You burn the bundles and immerse yourself into meditation. Lavender relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Additionally, the herb has healing benefits. Traditionally, lavender was used to treat insomnia and reduce stress.

Eucalyptus and Palo Santo

Eucalyptus purifies your breathing system and soothes your muscles. It also improves your memory and refreshes you. Palo Santo burns off negative energy. It also means the ‘holy wood’ in some South American countries and is used for cleansing purposes.  Palo Santo is also used to cleanse homes and for aromatherapy reasons.

Rosemary

Rosemary has for long been considered a sacred herb. During smudging, the flowery herb cleanses your gallbladder by killing toxins. It is also used to treat bloat and migraines. Other benefits include refreshing the skin and calming your nerves.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8rDYQANeR/

Smudging is an art that involves burning special types of herbs and inhaling the smoke. You can also use oil extracts and apply them on your skin. If you decide to burn lavender, rosemary or any other herb, you’ll want a feather for directing the smoke to your nose. Keep calm. Smudging takes less than thirty minutes but it leaves your healthier, feeling more relaxed and in a better mood.

If you love trying out new mascaras, chances are you have some good and bad experiences with the makeup product. Some mascaras wash off at the slightest contact to sweat or tears. Others clump up or smear down your face.

Thankfully, there are multiple types of mascaras and they have different pros and cons. Find out how each product works and whether it’s right for you.

Washable Mascara

Washable mascaras contain high levels of water. They are designed for temporary wear and easy removal. When on stage performing a song, giving a speech in front of others or taking Selfies, washable mascara will look good. Afterword, you can just remove the makeup using water.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BdlVJ99DtyI/

Waterproof Mascara

Waterproofs are the opposite of washables. They are designed to last longer and are better alternatives if you love putting on your mascara for a few days or weeks. They can’t be removed by sweat or water easily. You remove the makeup using special makeup removing products.

The disadvantage of using waterproof mascaras is that they tend to clump up. They strain your eyelashes and may cause you to feel pain at times.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKcXOCh0an/

Smudge-Proof Mascaras

Smudge-proof mascaras are neither too watery nor too stiff. They provide a middle-ground for waterproofs and washable mascaras. When you apply the makeup, it does not smudge off when you sweat. At the same time, it does not strain your lashes as some waterproofs do.

Tips for using Mascara

Irrespective of what mascara type you choose, you can curl, volumize or lengthen your hair with the right product. You also the proper wand o produce the expected result. If you want to curl your lashes, pick a curled brush and mascara for curling.

For lengthening your lashes, pick a mascara with lots of fiber ingredients. Don’t forget buying a primer. A mascara primer provides a good foundation for your mascara to make it last longer.

When fashion authorities are asked the best warm pieces for winter, the trench coat always comes up. First designed for British and French soldiers in World War I, the trench coat has become a fashion icon. Both men and women can style it on, stay warm and look good wherever they travel.

Burberry Trench Coat

The Burberry trench coat is named after its inventor, a British fashion mogul who designed the coat for World War I soldiers. The trench coat was popularized by the veterans who continued wearing it after the war. That and the growth of the Burberry brand helped us have the stylish men’s coat that comes in a variety of colors.

Double Breasted Trench Coat

Almost every trench-coat retailer has the double-breasted mode. It’s the most common trench coat, thanks to the ubiquitous waist belt and a wide array of designs. The double-breasted coat also represents elegance, all while looking classic.

Softly Belted

While the Burberry trench coat represents a classic look, the softly belted coat represents an elegant modern style. The coat often lacks buttons and is held together by a belt. Additionally, softly belted trench coats also tend to be oversized and overly long.

Cropped Trench Coat

Defying the traditional length of trench-coats, this model ends at the waistline. It’s mostly common with women. It’s less cumbersome and doesn’t hold the statement made by regular trench coats. The cropped trench coat is great if you love simple fashion trends while still having a piece that will keep you warm this winter.

Bold Color Trench Coats

Traditionally, trench coats came in khaki colors. These days, trench coats come in all colors. If you love military green, beige, grey or white, you can find a coat you love. Of course, bold color trench coats require that you match them accordingly.

Applying nail polish sounds like something everyone should do with perfection. In reality, applying nail products uniformly is something many women only wish they could achieve. Spray on nail polish aims to change that.

With the right brand, soap, water, and a flat surface, you can apply polish uniformly and quickly on any occasion. Here is a guide to do it the right way.

Remove Old Polish

Use a polish remover and a piece of cloth to remove your old nail polish. Consider using soap and water to make the work easier. Once done, dry your nails to prepare for the new coat.

Apply a Base Coat

The base coat provides a foundation for your nail polish. Without it, the polish will wipe off within a few days. Apply the base coat like any nail polish but spreading it on your cuticles. You can always clean it off with regular polish removers. But it’s important to preserve your base coat by applying only to your nail.

Place a Protective Cover on your Table

Place a newspaper, cardboard or piece of sheet on the flat surface you will be working on. The goal is to protect your table from the spray you are about to apply all over your nails.

Spray On

Shake the paint bottle thoroughly and apply it all over your nails. Make sure to hold the can while it faces away from your face. You don’t want to inhale much of the spray. Concerning how to apply the polish, a zigzag covers wider surfaces of your nails. Don’t worry if the color spreads to your skin, Continue spraying until you cover all nails.

Leave to Dry, Paint Again

Allow the paint to dry for a few minutes. Get back to it and apply a top layer. You can also add another layer of paint to ensure it lasts longer. But don’t overdo it.

Remove Excessive Paint

After the paint dries, rinse your fingers in warm water. Use soapy water to remove the excess paint around your skin and cuticles. The polish should last two or more weeks depending on the amount applied.

Musicians sing until they can sing no more. When you are an artist, you find challenges that inspire you to better yourself.

There is No Wrong Answer

Unlike science, there is no wrong answer in art. When two artists take on a challenge, the winner is the artist whose artwork impresses the most. Your audience is your judge. If you decide to indulge in photography, tattooing, knitting or any form of art, learn what people want. Produce different products and let your audience decide what they love the most.

Technology makes it Easy to Share your Work

With social media and the Internet in place, your artwork shouldn’t be hidden from the world. Be creative and constantly share your artwork. Keep in mind there is no wrong answer. Be bold and passionate about what you love.

You’ve probably heard it before—self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. But no matter how many times it is said, most of us tend to indulge in everything else apart from self-care.

Whether it’s doing everyday house chores, work duties or volunteer services, you probably do a lot of work every day. In 2019, think differently. Invest some time taking care of yourself. Not the usual manicure, massages or TV.

 Adopt a routine that cultivates peace and a sense of wellbeing by doing the following.

Take a Vacation

If you didn’t travel a lot in 2018, make it your point to visit somewhere new in 2019. It doesn’t have to be far. Think of the best place you can visit in your city, state or country. If you can afford it, book a trip overseas. You’ll live to remember it.

Learn to accept what you Can’t Change

When personal struggles seem to overwhelm you, always remember that you are not your circumstance. You can only change what you have power over. If you can’t change something, like someone’s hate for you, move on.

Appreciate what you have

First things first, appreciate everything that you are. Appreciate your beauty, your talents and your life. Work hard for everything you dream of. But always take a step back to appreciate what you earn or granted in life.

Do What Makes you Happy

Listen to your favorite songs if you love music. Watch TV once in a while and read books whether you love them or not. Take a dance class or join a yoga class. Whatever makes you happy in life, do it every time you have the chance.

Enjoy Life

In the words of Steve Jobs, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” Know your dreams and go for them. Think independently and enjoy your life.

If you feel down, stressed and nostalgic about the good old days, you probably deserve some self-care. You could listen to music, visit a friend or stay at home and binge-watch your favorite show.

But if you want to burn off the negative energy and lift up your spirits quickly, burn some Smudge bundles.

What is Smudging?

Smudging is the art of burning special types of herbs to absorb their ionic compounds for aromatherapy and other healing benefits. The practice has existed for centuries, most especially in the Americas.

Usually, you purchase herbs like lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary, and Palo Santo wood. Each of the herbs offers different benefits.

Sage and Lavender

Sage bundles prepare you psychologically before you begin to meditate. Consider the herb the primer of aromatherapy. You burn the bundles and immerse yourself into meditation. Lavender relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Additionally, the herb has healing benefits. Traditionally, lavender was used to treat insomnia and reduce stress.

Eucalyptus and Palo Santo

Eucalyptus purifies your breathing system and soothes your muscles. It also improves your memory and refreshes you. Palo Santo burns off negative energy. It also means the ‘holy wood’ in some South American countries and is used for cleansing purposes.  Palo Santo is also used to cleanse homes and for aromatherapy reasons.

Rosemary

Rosemary has for long been considered a sacred herb. During smudging, the flowery herb cleanses your gallbladder by killing toxins. It is also used to treat bloat and migraines. Other benefits include refreshing the skin and calming your nerves.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8rDYQANeR/

Smudging is an art that involves burning special types of herbs and inhaling the smoke. You can also use oil extracts and apply them on your skin. If you decide to burn lavender, rosemary or any other herb, you’ll want a feather for directing the smoke to your nose. Keep calm. Smudging takes less than thirty minutes but it leaves your healthier, feeling more relaxed and in a better mood.

If you love trying out new mascaras, chances are you have some good and bad experiences with the makeup product. Some mascaras wash off at the slightest contact to sweat or tears. Others clump up or smear down your face.

Thankfully, there are multiple types of mascaras and they have different pros and cons. Find out how each product works and whether it’s right for you.

Washable Mascara

Washable mascaras contain high levels of water. They are designed for temporary wear and easy removal. When on stage performing a song, giving a speech in front of others or taking Selfies, washable mascara will look good. Afterword, you can just remove the makeup using water.

Waterproof Mascara

Waterproofs are the opposite of washables. They are designed to last longer and are better alternatives if you love putting on your mascara for a few days or weeks. They can’t be removed by sweat or water easily. You remove the makeup using special makeup removing products.

The disadvantage of using waterproof mascaras is that they tend to clump up. They strain your eyelashes and may cause you to feel pain at times.

Smudge-Proof Mascaras

Smudge-proof mascaras are neither too watery nor too stiff. They provide a middle-ground for waterproofs and washable mascaras. When you apply the makeup, it does not smudge off when you sweat. At the same time, it does not strain your lashes as some waterproofs do.

Tips for using Mascara

Irrespective of what mascara type you choose, you can curl, volumize or lengthen your hair with the right product. You also the proper wand o produce the expected result. If you want to curl your lashes, pick a curled brush and mascara for curling.

For lengthening your lashes, pick a mascara with lots of fiber ingredients. Don’t forget buying a primer. A mascara primer provides a good foundation for your mascara to make it last longer.

When fashion authorities are asked the best warm pieces for winter, the trench coat always comes up. First designed for British and French soldiers in World War I, the trench coat has become a fashion icon. Both men and women can style it on, stay warm and look good wherever they travel.

Burberry Trench Coat

The Burberry trench coat is named after its inventor, a British fashion mogul who designed the coat for World War I soldiers. The trench coat was popularized by the veterans who continued wearing it after the war. That and the growth of the Burberry brand helped us have the stylish men’s coat that comes in a variety of colors.

Double Breasted Trench Coat

Almost every trench-coat retailer has the double-breasted mode. It’s the most common trench coat, thanks to the ubiquitous waist belt and a wide array of designs. The double-breasted coat also represents elegance, all while looking classic.

Softly Belted

While the Burberry trench coat represents a classic look, the softly belted coat represents an elegant modern style. The coat often lacks buttons and is held together by a belt. Additionally, softly belted trench coats also tend to be oversized and overly long.

Cropped Trench Coat

Defying the traditional length of trench-coats, this model ends at the waistline. It’s mostly common with women. It’s less cumbersome and doesn’t hold the statement made by regular trench coats. The cropped trench coat is great if you love simple fashion trends while still having a piece that will keep you warm this winter.

Bold Color Trench Coats

Traditionally, trench coats came in khaki colors. These days, trench coats come in all colors. If you love military green, beige, grey or white, you can find a coat you love. Of course, bold color trench coats require that you match them accordingly.

Applying nail polish sounds like something everyone should do with perfection. In reality, applying nail products uniformly is something many women only wish they could achieve. Spray on nail polish aims to change that.

With the right brand, soap, water, and a flat surface, you can apply polish uniformly and quickly on any occasion. Here is a guide to do it the right way.

Remove Old Polish

Use a polish remover and a piece of cloth to remove your old nail polish. Consider using soap and water to make the work easier. Once done, dry your nails to prepare for the new coat.

Apply a Base Coat

The base coat provides a foundation for your nail polish. Without it, the polish will wipe off within a few days. Apply the base coat like any nail polish but spreading it on your cuticles. You can always clean it off with regular polish removers. But it’s important to preserve your base coat by applying only to your nail.

Place a Protective Cover on your Table

Place a newspaper, cardboard or piece of sheet on the flat surface you will be working on. The goal is to protect your table from the spray you are about to apply all over your nails.

Spray On

Shake the paint bottle thoroughly and apply it all over your nails. Make sure to hold the can while it faces away from your face. You don’t want to inhale much of the spray. Concerning how to apply the polish, a zigzag covers wider surfaces of your nails. Don’t worry if the color spreads to your skin, Continue spraying until you cover all nails.

Leave to Dry, Paint Again

Allow the paint to dry for a few minutes. Get back to it and apply a top layer. You can also add another layer of paint to ensure it lasts longer. But don’t overdo it.

Remove Excessive Paint

After the paint dries, rinse your fingers in warm water. Use soapy water to remove the excess paint around your skin and cuticles. The polish should last two or more weeks depending on the amount applied.
