OPI for the New York City Ballet

OPI for the New York City Ballet

I am loving the collaborations of OPI lately – and the OPI for the New York City Ballet collection is one of them! And like always, OPI knows what we need for spring: A new line of pastels to shake off the winter blues (and blacks, and burgundys…)

Their latest offering, OPI for the New York City Ballet, is comprised of five subdued polishes (mostly pale pinks and lilacs) and one punchy silver glitter called Pirouette My Whistle. It seems you would need more than a medication cart to cure this addiction ;)

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Travel Nursing Jobs

Lately, travel nursing jobs have become lucrative due to an overwhelming shortage of qualified medical staff in most health care unit across the world, especially in third world countries.

Specialty nurses, ones who are experienced and highly dynamic, are often prime candidates by travel nurse companies. Depending on your personality, priorities and preferences, being a mobile nurse might just be the perfect career for you.

Here are some disadvantages and advantages of being one:

Disadvantages:
1. No job security. Since you will be on assignment typically on a 13-week basis, there is no guarantee that you will be retained or your contract renewed. This is why getting good travel nursing companies is important. A good agency should be able to provide another assignment right before your assignment expires.

2. You are a floating nurse. Because you are hired to temporarily fill up vacant positions, you are also the first to be reassigned once a slot gets filled up.

3. Since you are paid more than regular staff, this can be a source of resentment for your co-nurses.

Advantages:

1. Travel opportunities

2. Attractive compensation package. Mobile nurses are paid at least 20% higher than regular nurses. You also get to enjoy other benefits such as travel allowance, housing allowance, meal allowance and many more.

3. You build such an attractive resume being exposed to various cases in different countries.

4. Career management and flexibility.

If ever you decide to be one, make sure you go through travel nurse companies like On Assignment Nurse Travel.

Tips on Putting on False Eyelashes

Kim Kardashian Smokey Eye

Thanks to Katy Perry and the Kardashians, wearing false eyelashes is back and becoming a trend, thanks to their overly extended and luscious lashes! I honestly cannot stand wearing falsies for a long time since my eyes tend to twitch when tired. And if there is something heavy weighing on them, they twitch even more. I’d need duracell procell aa batteries for my eyes I think :) . Fortunately, the falsies available in the market today are light so wearing them all day is easier!

1. Look for ones that are light with some space in between the lashes, to better blend with your real lashes.
2. Use only a small amount of glue when putting on fake eyelashes, you should put them on starting with the interior of your eye moving outward.
3. Put eyeliner on before you put your lashes on. Liquid liner is best because it’s thick and can hide the space between your false lashes and your real ones.
4. The best way to keep them looking natural is to first place the false lash on your eye BEFORE putting on the glue. While looking in the mirror, notice where your eyelashes end and the false lashes begin. Then take a tiny pair of scissors and trim the lashes to match your own (make sure to remove the false eyelash from your eye BEFORE doing this).
5. Once you have the lashes on, simply put mascara over both your false eyelashes and your real ones, to bind them together.

How to Quit Smoking: Steps on How to Stop a Dangerous Habit

Tips to successfully quit smoking.
It is a new year and for sure, majority have made their New Year’s resolution. This list can include a commitment in order to achieve a personal goal, finish a project or a change in lifestyle for self-improvement.

One of the resolution that I am sure most individuals will include in their list is to break a bad habit like smoking. But I am sure I will see a lot of hands raised and they will admit that it is the same resolution that they tried to commit to in the previous years, which obviously they were not able to accomplish.
Smoking is really a bad habit to break that is why some smokers will just quit for just a couple of days or weeks and will soon bounce back to their old ways.

So how to quit smoking? Here are a few tips:

  1. Commit. No other person can motivate you, but yourself. To help you make a commitment in achieving this goal, try to list down the reasons why would you want to quit. Is it because you want to live a healthy lifestyle? Or you want to stop the bad effects that smoking brings, not just to yourself, but to your family (especially your kids) as well. Do you want to set a good example to the people around you? List this down in a sheet of paper and refer to it constantly so that it will serve as your motivation as you go through this difficult phase.
  2. Have a Game Plan. All projects that are successful are a result of careful planning and so trying to quit smoking can be treated as a special project that needs strategizing as well. Here are some things that a smoker can include in his game plan:
  • Those who have successfully quit smoking did not do it overnight and so a smoker must try to do it gradually. A first step would be to designate one day per week as a “No Smoking Day” and slowly increase the frequency of this “No Smoking Day” until you finally can survive a day without taking a cigarette.
  • Find substitutes or diversion that can help you quit like chewing gum, toothpick, mint and the like.
  • Remove all kinds of tobacco in your home and office so you will not be tempted to take the bait.
  1. Try healthy and natural alternatives. Healthy Choice Naturals is an online store that sells all kinds of supplements for men, women and senior like Acai Berry, moringa, krill oil, etc. They also have a lot of products that can help individual with their health issues like hot flashes, low thyroid and more. One of their amazing product is their 7-Day Quit Smoking kit. This is an all-natural formula so its is safe and can help smokers quit in just 7-days without the cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
  2. Seek help from all the people around you. You can’t do this alone and so it is important that you talk to your family, your wife and kids about this so they can motivate you, understand your mood swings (which is likely to happen), give you pep talk, etc to help you achieve your goal.
  3. Join a support group. It is nice to be surrounded by people who are in the same boat as you. Joining a support group can also motivate you as you hear success stories of ex-smokers.

Change must begin in you. With a little determination and a little sacrifice, a smoker would soon find that life is more beautiful without smoking.

The Letter is P.

I am Peggy and I love to delight and amuse myself with anything artistically visual. I spend many hours on Etsy and either send money, get frustrated because I do not have money and wish I was talented with anything other than having the talent to spot nice things.

Which I think all people inherently have.

I love to shop. I love to window shop. Online.
