4 Reasons to consider getting laser hair removal today

Many women and men rely on traditional hair removal techniques such as using tweezers or a  razor to achieve smooth and clean-looking skin. But what they actually get is the opposite of what they wanted. Hair plucking is very time consuming and, needless to say, painful when done to sensitive areas of the body. Shaving with razors, on the other hand, may be a quicker solution but it can leave your skin red, bumpy, and itchy afterward. Waxing is also a popular choice but it is definitely not cost-efficient considering that you need to go back every month or so to the clinic to get the procedure done.

Laser hair removal is, perhaps, one of the best options that you can consider to get rid of unwanted hair from your body. The procedure involves exposure of hair follicles to beams of highly-concentrated light. The light gets absorbed by the follicles eventually causing the cells to terminate further growth.

Learn more about the 4 reasons getting a laser hair removal today is a perfect choice.

1. It is guaranteed safe and effective.

Before the procedure, the equipment will be adjusted depending on the color and thickness of the hair, and the tone and area of the skin. You may be asked to use a protective eyewear for your safety. A cooling gel may also be applied after to the target area after trimming the hair to just a few millimeters. Pulses of light will only target dark colored hair, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

For a couple of days after the treatment, your skin may look and feel as if it were sunburned. But it is not as worse as getting ingrown hairs, blisters, itchiness, and bumpy skin through traditional hair removal techniques. You may apply simply cold compresses and moisturizers to help ease the burning sensation.

2. It is a long-term solution.

Depending on your case, you may be required to undergo three to six sessions of laser hair removal (on average). But once the treatment is complete, unwanted hair will surely be gone for good. Popular target areas for laser hair removal in women include the upper lip, chin, bikini area, underarms, back, arms, and legs. While for men, it is the chin, chest, back, abdomen, arms, and legs.  

3. It is cost-efficient.

The total costs of laser hair removal vary from hundreds of dollars to a few thousand bucks depending on the medical professional who will be performing the procedure, the city or country where it will be performed, the size of the target area, and the number of treatments required. Nevertheless, it is much less expensive considering the long-term costs of using shaving creams and undergoing hair waxing.

4. It saves you time.

Laser hair removal will help you get rid of unwanted hair permanently, saving you more time from regular tweezing, shaving, and waxing. The procedure itself is also quick, requiring only a fraction of a second to target multiple hair follicles in an area. Laser hair removal in the upper lip takes only a minute or less while for both legs, it may take up to a few hours.

5 Ways That You Can Overcome Hair Loss

In the world that we live in, it wouldn't be farfetched to call hair loss an epidemic. Millions around the globe suffer from hair loss. Although it is natural for the head to lose up to 90 hairs daily, it is also a natural occurrence for the body to replace the lost hair. However, it gets more difficult for the body to generate hair as we grow older. If you are looking for ways to overcome hair loss, you have come to the right place. Here are 5 ways that you can overcome hair loss!

1. Stem cell therapy

There are many therapies you can try to help promote hair growth. And, one of the trusted methods that has gained rapid popularity in recent years is the stem cells therapy. So, what exactly is it? In a nutshell, the stem cell therapy involves the isolation of adult stem cells from fats located in the abdominal areas. The stem cells are then introduced to the areas of the body that requires therapy and recovery. So, why are stem cells used? Basically, stem cells excel at repairing tissues and they have been scientifically proven to aid in the development of cells. So, when stem cells are injected to the scalp, they help promote hair growth by encouraging the hair cells to function actively.

2. Using Medical Shampoo

An easy way to prevent hair loss is to swap your usual shampoo for a shampoo that is medically approved. Opting for medical shampoos that contain useful ingredients such as ketoconazole can prove to be extremely beneficial. Scientific evidence proves that ketoconazole functions as an anti-androgen. Now, what does anti-androgen do? Well, it basically prevents the transformation of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone; dihydrotestosterone plays an atrocious role in shrinking hair follicles.

3. Eat a balanced diet

Hair is essentially composed of protein in the body. Therefore, the more protein you consume, the better your chances are of promoting growth of your hair. Hence, it is essential for your diet to comprise of protein-rich foods such as eggs, dairy products, and red meat. In addition to that, you can also feast on fruits such as blueberries and guava, and vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and broccoli etc.

LG InstaView Refrigerators at Best Buy

*The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.*

You all probably know by now that I love Best Buy. Whenever I am looking for electronics, I check out Best Buy first. In fact, after a tragic incident involving our beloved 70" Smart TV, we just bought a new TV from Best Buy 2 weeks ago.

We not only got a great price, but great service. The price actually went down a little after we had ordered it. I called and they refunded the difference so we still got the lower price. It was not even a question. I said "The price is lower now.", they said "We'll take care of it" and processed the refund.

Even when I am not actually planning to buy something I love to "shop" at Best Buy and check out all the cool new products, especially the electronics and appliances. My latest obsession? LG InstaView™ Door-in-Door® refrigerators. They are so cool.


I know, refrigerators aren't normally the type of product that are #goals worthy, but the InstaView definitely is. At least for me. Maybe because I am a stay at home mom, or maybe because it is just awesome. I think it's the latter.

Have you ever told your kids (or hubby or yourself) to close the fridge because they are letting all the cold air out? But you need to see what's inside right? Even if you just looked earlier. You just HAVE to look. Well with the InstaView all you have to do is knock twice to illuminate the contents, allowing you to see inside without letting cold air out. Best knock knock "joke" ever.




While you cannot see every item in the fridge this way,  the most popular items go in the front (door-in-door section), making them more accessible. That is the part that illuminates, so you see all the most used items with the knock twice feature. Plus the door-in-door feature allows for more usable space. If you do still need to open up to see inside, the ColdSaver™ Panel reduces cold air loss to extend the freshness of food.

There are several size and style options available, to ensure you get exactly the storage space your family needs. I love the ones with the double freezer drawers. It's not only the storage capacity, it's the organizational capabilities that makes the InstaView refrigerators so extraordinary. I need all the organization help I can get.

Plus all the styles are so sleek and modern looking. There are 3 different colors and multiple sizes and configurations. They are all gorgeous and, better yet, fingerprint resistant. With kids, that is like the holy grail.

After the TV catastrophe, we cannot afford a new fridge right now (since it's not a need), but I am totally crushing on the InstaView and it will probably be our next splurge purchase. Who needs diamonds? Food is a girl's real best friend, and, naturally, the appliance that keeps it fresh and happy is too.

Do any of you have the LG InstaView yet? How much do you love it? I'd love to hear about it. Is anyone planning to buy one soon? Are you just hearing about it? I love to hear everyone's thoughts.
