TWO. Best press on nails

Going to the nail salon is our worst nightmare. It's not that we don't enjoy manicures – who doesn't love tidy cuticles, a soothing hand massage, and a fresh, glossy polish?

That's precisely why we find ourselves returning to the nail salon, lured in by the promise of pampering – until we are seated in the chair, regretting our choice of nail polish. By then, it's too late to escape.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), we no longer have the time to spend hours at the nail salon.

The thought of all the productive things we could be doing with that time, not to mention the money spent, is unbearable.

As for us, our focus this year is on time management, budgeting, and preserving our sanity. As for the experts, short nails are trendy this year. So instead of spending hours regretting our decision to even sit down, let's explore some alternatives - all tested and tried.

Our top press on nail recommendations

2. Chill Tips - for everyday use and design, press on for over 21 days

THREE. Wellness tip for nausea, morning sickness, and motion sickness (and yes, we are talking car sickness)

You might not have guessed it, but this versatile bright yellow fruit offers a refreshing scent that can ease nausea.

Yes, smelling a lemon can help with nausea, morning sickness, and motion sickness. The scent of lemon is known for its calming and refreshing properties, which can alleviate feelings of nausea. The citrusy aroma can help reduce queasiness and settle your stomach.

For morning sickness, many pregnant women find relief by inhaling the scent of a fresh lemon or using lemon essential oil. Similarly, for motion sickness, smelling a lemon can help prevent or lessen nausea during travel.

While it may not work for everyone, it's a simple and natural remedy worth trying if you're experiencing any of these types of nausea.

The next time you're hungover in the back of an Uber, grab a peeled lemon for the ride - and don't feel confident enough to bring a fresh lemon with you, the Boom Boom Natural Nasal Stick has you covered. It's infused to help with that too.

FOUR. When someone is feeling down, ask them this powerful question

Offering support to family or friends in tough times can be challenging, but experts suggest that this simple technique can make a significant difference.

Try asking this powerful question:

'Do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged?'

Often in relationships, people have different expectations for what they want out of a conversation. By asking this question, you can clarify what the other person needs, while also boosting their well-being.

A hug from your partner can increase oxytocin levels, which helps reduce stress.

High-quality listening, where the other person feels truly heard, has been shown to lower defensiveness during tough conversations.

Additionally, research indicates that couples who offer supportive advice to each other tend to experience higher relationship satisfaction.

So, the next time a loved one starts venting or seems to be talking to you for a specific reason, ask this question to ensure you're both on the same page about the conversation's expectations.

SIX. 7 habits that will transform and slim down your face in 1 week 

1. Cut back on alcohol and salty foods to quickly improve dull skin, reduce inflammation, and reduce puffiness.

2. Introduce a peptide to your skincare routine.

3. Shape your eyebrows—if you're unsure how to do it at home, consult a professional. The eyebrows are the pillar of your facial structure, the combination of threading and waxing is ideal for the best transformation.

4. Practice gua sha daily for effective lymphatic drainage.

5. Apply SPF every single day— our top clear sunscreen recommendation and our top tinted sunscreen for daily use.

6. Dandelion root tablets or tea are great for reducing water retention. Use them sparingly, such as the week before a big event, for an instantly snatched look, but avoid daily use due to their dehydrating effects.

7. For a natural-looking tan, use a quality face tanning lotion— our favorite for the best results.
