Autumn Beauty Prep

Your skin can have a tough time transitioning from summer to autumn. It has to suddenly put up with the cold, wind and rain as well as a higher risk of illness which can make your complexion look drawn and tired. In order to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy you need to change [...]


Quick Tip – Torn Nail

Torn a nail? Don’t panic, you can temporarily repair it if you don’t want to cut it down completely. Take a snip of paper from a tea bag big enough to cover the tear and apply a small bead of glue to it. Press the paper on to the tear and let it dry. Next, [...]

The beauty looks spotted so far at New York Fashion Week have been polished, groomed and incredibly wearable.

It has also been found to be linked to many diseases and chronic illnesses from heart disease to cancer. So, what can you do to reduce the amount of imflammation in your [...]


Beauty Sleep

If you’re on the hunt for healthy skin then you could do worse than look at your sleeping habits. The skin’s optimal repair time is between 11pm and 1am, so you ideally need to be in bed by then. In addition, when you’re not getting enough sleep the body’s hormones are released at the wrong [...]

Curated by Ryan Lanji and DegreeArt.com the exhibition may be small but contains some fantastic pieces of art on tiny, nail shaped canvases.
