Leather Jackets: a Coat for all Seasons
It’s a fact – leather jackets are making a comeback! Some might say that the classic leather jacket never really went out of style, but face it, when you’ve seen a guy wearing a men’s leather jacket that is a little past its use-by date (think short, black, and diagonal zippers), it can look not-quite-trendy. In their many forms, leather jackets can be worn almost anywhere and with almost anything. Even the old aviator-style jacket can still look cool, when teamed with the right outfit and accessories.
Some great bargain buys can be picked up in clearance sales. Cheap leather jackets are now being sported by the younger generation due to their versatility and low cost. They can be worn with anything, and their affordability makes them attractive to the younger crowd. They can be seen to and from work (and even some schools), in town with pals or out with families.
Trimming Your Dog’s Nails
Giving your family dog a bath – not a problem. More than likely cleaning your dog’s teeth wouldn’t be an issue. But trimming doggie’s nails, no way! Ok, listen up. This can be done. It’s not nearly as challenging or terrifying as it appears.
Claw trimming in dogs can be done easily enough if you understand how. It may be beneficial to watch someone else (vet, groomer or friend) who is skilful in nail trimming demonstrate first. Some dogs won’t need to have their nails trimmed. Many will naturally wear the nails down or the dried up ends of the nails will merely flake away without you even being aware. But certain breeds, in particular Basset Hounds and Dachshunds may need your assistance with keeping the toe nails moderately short. As much as you’ll never want to, you might as well just count on cutting a nail too short on occasions. It just happens at times, even with experienced groomers. The nail will bleed if you cut it too short, so just be ready for that eventuality.
Get yourself a good pair of dog nail clippers. Ask a veterinarian or the staff in the pet shop which sort they suggest. Place the primary part of the trimmer in the palm of your hand and the moveable part is controlled by your fingers. You need to be able to see the small cutting blade which slides when you squeeze the handle.
Ethical & Natural Beauty Gifts
A phrase often used these days is ‘natural beauty’ and now, in more ways than one, beauty really is only skin deep. Since 2007, over 2,000 ethical skincare products and cosmetics have been launched each year making ethical beauty one of the biggest growth markets in the cosmetics industry. It’s testament to the fact that consumers are waking up to the dubious manufacturing processes of mass-produced cosmetics and are demanding a greener way to improve the appearance of their hair and skin.
Europe leads the way in ethical skincare
In 2007, the UK, along with France, accounted for 74 per cent of all ethical beauty product launches proving that as a country, we are trying to align our environmental outlook with our shopping habits. Choosing to buy products that are produced using natural sustainable materials, that do not harm animals in the testing process, and are manufactured in a way that reduces the negative impact on the environment, shows the market is gradually being driven by the ‘green factor’ and not by profit margins alone.
