Many people today suffer from body issues in that they don't like the way they look which hurts their self-confidence. This might not even be an issue to those looking at them, but many people think worse of themselves. A good example if you are dealing with self-confidence issues is your teeth. If you think that your teeth might be causing you issues, consider any invisalign consultation richmond va in your area.
Teeth Whitening
If you were to guess the largest issue people have in terms of confidence with their teeth, you would be looking into how white their teeth are. While our teeth are naturally not supposed to be the pearly white you see on movie stars, you still might want to get your teeth whitened a bit especially if they have been darker due to drinking coffee and tea for an example. Most if not all dentists offer teeth whitening services today in which they can whiten your teeth in one session. Additionally, you can get teeth whitening products in stores but they come with the draws that they are known to not work as good as being at the dentist, plus they can cause issues such as making your teeth a lot more sensitive for a limited time and be more time-consuming. Consider teeth whitening if you are looking into fixing your teeth in any sort of fashion.
Teeth Straightening
When you look at those with great smiles, you see usually not only cleaner looking teeth but more straightened teeth. Naturally, many of us have teeth that have shifted that usually won't go back naturally. By going to the dentist, you can get braces which can take a couple of years to go through but once you are done, you usually get straight teeth for the rest of your life as long as you are willing to wear the retainers that they give you every night. Additionally, make sure to look into other teeth straightening solutions they may have as soon offer services in which you don't have to wear braces all day as long as you are willing to deal with your treatment taking a longer amount of time. Dealing with straightening your teeth is a great way to boost your self-confidence.
Fixing your self-confidence isn't a quick battle and can take a long time in between learning mentally what you can do to help yourself along with making new decisions in terms of your body and what you decide to wear. Ensure that you aren't going too far and doing something that potentially harms your body for the chance that you think you'll look better afterward. Go to a reputable dentist and ask them what you really can do to make your teeth better so they can be honest with you on how much time and money it will take rather than going to a dentist that is willing to lie to you. This will help your self-confidence in the long run.

I was a precocious little kid. My mother says I was born able to read. I honestly can't remember a time when I couldn't read. The only bad thing about being able to read at an early age is that you can read words that you don't know the meaning of. You can pronounce the words, but you lack the ability to discern whether or not you should say them. Out loud. In public.
Case in point: I was three-years-old. My mom stopped the car at a gas station because I had to go to the bathroom. She walked me into the restroom and I went into the stall by myself. To pass the time, I read the writing on the walls. When I came out of the stall, I had a whole new arsenal of words. Top this off with the fact that I loved to embarrass my mother. So, every time a friend of hers would say, "Oh, you have the prettiest little girl," I would respond, "Fuck you."
Mom would turn three different shades of red while I recited from memory: "Here I sit, brokenhearted, came to shit, but only farted."
But the time I embarrassed her the most was at a family dinner. A lot of our extended family was going to be there. All the relatives that we saw only every five years or so.
I used to love watching Mom put on her make-up and get ready to go places. I was four-years-old and sat on the toilet lid while Mom poofed her hair up into a big beehive. I coughed and sputtered from all the AquaNet filling the small bathroom. Then I saw a box I had never seen before. I read out loud the big word on the box.
"Ssshhh," Mom scolded, "Don't ever say that word. It's not polite to say in front of people."
Flash forward to the dinner. I am sitting between my mother and my grandfather. There are about twelve other people sitting at the table, all uncles and aunts and cousins. My grandfather looked at me and asked, "So, Layce, how have you been lately?"
"I'm good," I said. I puffed up my chest and added, "I learned a new word today."
I could feel Mom stiffen in her seat beside me.
"Oh?" my grandfather asked. "What word?"
"KO-TEX," I said loudly, being sure to enunciate both syllables plainly.
There was a long silence. Mom threw down her fork, got up, and left the room.
It was my mother's fault. She should've known better than to tell me NOT to do something. Did she learn nothing from the time she told me NOT to put peanut butter in my hair?
Need a good laugh?
Look no further!

LOS ANGELES — A juvenile who fled to Armenia after he allegedly punched a man during a road rage incident, leaving the victim in a coma, has been arrested on suspicion of of attempted murder, Los Angeles police said Thursday.
The juvenile was wearing brass knuckles when he struck the man on New Year's Day, police said.
The victim has been hospitalized since the alleged attack, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Police worked with the FBI, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Interpol and the LA County district attorney's office to bring the juvenile back to the United States, officials said.
The juvenile was in a black Jeep seen driving erratically behind another vehicle in the Valley Glen neighborhood, the newspaper said.
Witness video recorded from a nearby car shows two men from both vehicles exchanging words. The juvenile exits the Jeep and strikes the driver of the other vehicle. The man collapses to the ground as the Jeep's occupants flee, the Times said.

The Trump Administration is Gutting the Endangered Species Act
Gina-Marie Cheeseman
The Trump administration announced big changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on August 12. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt assigned the new regulations which effectively remove important provisions and end protections for threatened species.
The revisions to the ESA change regulations for how a new species is listed as endangered. They also differentiate between threatened and endangered species which would make it harder to gain protections for a threatened species. Species listed as threatened, which is the designation given to plants and animals before they become endangered, would have reduced protections. Under current regulations, both classifications have equal protection. The new regulations mean that threatened species are more likely to become endangered species.
One key difference in the new regulations is that climate change is exempted from parts of the law, which makes it harder to protect species such as the polar bear and the bearded seal that are impacted by climate change. The new regulations prevent the designation critical habitat areas where species need to relocate to avoid climate change impacts.
"Undermining this popular and successful law is a major step in the wrong direction as we face the increasing challenges of climate change and its effects on wildlife," said Lena Moffitt, Our Wild America Campaign Senior Director, Sierra Club, in a statement.
"The Endangered Species Act works; our communities-- both natural and human-- have reaped the benefits. This safety net must be preserved."
Species are declining globally
Several reports found that wildlife species are declining globally. A World Wildlife Fund report released last year revealed that 60 percent of the populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians have declined globally from 1970 and 2014. A United Nations report released this spring found that one million species are threatened with extinction because of human activity.
Moffit pointed out that "undermining this popular and successful law is a major step in the wrong direction" as climate change impacts are being felt around the world. She added that the ESA works to protect communities. "This safety net must be preserved," she said.
Americans support the Endangered Species Act
The majority of Americans support the ESA. After the proposed rules were announced, over 800,000 Americans submitted public comments opposing the changes. A 2018 survey of 1,287 Americans found that four out of five support the ESA and only one in 10 oppose it. The survey notes that support for the act has remained stable over the last two decades.
In the fall of 2018, 105 members of the House and 34 senators sent letters to the Interior Department protesting the rollbacks of the ESA. Ten states, the District of Columbia, and over 30 indigenous tribal nations also opposed the new regulations.
"Over the objections of nearly everyone, the Trump Administration has eviscerated one of our nation's foundational environmental laws," said Rebecca Riley, Legal Director for the Nature Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "Poll after poll shows Americans support the Endangered Species Act as a lifeline to the wildlife it protects."
What you can do
There is something you can do to let your voice be heard about Trump's gutting of the Endangered Species Act. Sign the Sierra Club's petition urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife to protect endangered and weakened species.

As promised yesterday, I have another card to share that features Stampin' Up!'s Decor Stencils.
Today's card was inspired by fellow demonstrator, Emma Fewkes. She expanded the ink stenciling to include heat embossing as well. I used a Versamark ink pad with the stencil, removed the stencil, applied white embossing powder and set with a heat tool. This creates a white-on-white effect that's hard to see...until you add ink on top of it, that is! I used a jumbo wheel to apply a stamped image and then lightly rubbed the cardstock to remove the ink where the embossing resists. Then I added a little more ink with a sponge over the image panel to provide more contrast for the embossed image.
So I challenge you to try these stencils. I promise they're a lot of fun!
Thanks for stopping by!

Rachel Thain is a lawyer specialising in claiming compensation for victims of abuse. In this short case study Rachel looks at a historic abuse claim where the victim received compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority many years after the abuse took place.
We are often asked to investigate historic cases of sex abuse. People often assume that because the abuse took place many years ago it is not possible to recover compensation, but that isn't correct. While strict limitation periods apply in many areas of law, sex abuse compensation claims are one of the exceptions, with victims of historic abuse still being entitled to seek justice despite the passage of time. It does howver remain a highly technical area of law, so it is vitally important to speak to an expert lawyer as early as you can.
In this case the abuse had taken place in the 1960's.
Our client had been placed in the care of his local authority at a very young age. He remained in care until adulthood. He was sent to live in a residential reform school in the 1960's and lived there for around 3 years. During his time at the school, he suffered serious sexual abuse at the hands of a housemaster. The abuse had a significant effect on our client. As with so many victims of abuse he felt unable to confront what had occured or discuss it with anybody. Consequently he kept his experiences bottled up for many years.
When other victims of his abuser came forward our client finally found the confidence to speak to the Police and disclose what had happened to him.
Having confronted his past our client then felt able to seek legal advice. He approached us for assistance and we were able to offer free guidance on a confidential basis. This included advice about the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) which exists to compensate victims of violent crime, including sex abuse. Once he had spoken to us he felt confident about pursuing a claim and asked us to help him seek compensation from the CICA on a no win - no fee basis.
We liaised with the Police and obtained the information required to pursue the CICA claim. An application was therefore prepared on our client's behalf and submitted to the Authority.
On consideration of the evidence put forward in the application (includuing a report obtained from the Police) the CICA Authority was satisfied the strict eligibility criteria of the Scheme were met, despite the fact that the abuse had taken place 50 years earlier. This resulted in an award of compensation being offered which our client was very happy to accept.
Making the claim assisted our client in achieving closure. He had carried the burden of his abuse for many years and had for decades felt unable to report what happened. The Police involved in the criminal investigation were very supportive of our client and played an important role in helpling him to confront his past.
As we were able to work on a no win - no fee basis, our client was able to take advantage of our specialist experience in cases of this nature to achieve the best possible outcome. The compensation he received will not of course make up for what he had endured, but it did prove very helpful to him in at a key stage of his life.
If you require assistance in seeking compensation as a victim of abuse then you can call our FREE and CONFIDENTIAL legal helpline on 0800 037 8020 or email us at email@example.com

Hot day yesterday, hot day today, hot day tomorrow. Aargh!
Why is it that the cool, comfortable clothing for hot weather all has to be pressed? In order to look somewhat work appropriate on days like today, I have to spend at least 30 minutes with a steaming appliance in my hand. Does that make sense? I at least put the ironing board and the iron in the basement, where it is cooler, but it's still not so nice once I get started.
I took the Nutritional Typing test on Dr. Mercola's website. He says I'm a Protein Type and I should eat meat at every meal. That sounds tasty, but who's going to pay for such a sumptuous diet? I can't afford that. Then as part of the subscription, you get updates by e-mail and today's e-mail had something to do with how some dentists and physicians believe that root-canaled teeth always remain infected and can cause a whole bunch of diseases. I have a root canal as the result of a car accident (still no other cavities, knock wood). I wish I hadn't signed up. What you don't know can't hurt you, right? Okay, I guess it can, but I at least would be blissfully unaware.
We finished watching Hatfields & McCoys last night. We found out that there is a statue of "Devil Anse" Hatfield on his gravesite.
There are also historical sites related to the feud. Now we have another place to visit when Brett takes me to see Minor League Baseball in Charleston (WV Power) and Princeton, WV (Princeton Devil Rays… okay, just Rays, but someone insists on the former name)
Today is the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.
If you are Catholic and you abstain from meat on Fridays, you can eat meat if the Friday is a solemnity like today. Steak for dinner tonight!
I'm still praying for religious freedom. I can't force you to live by my beliefs, and you shouldn't be able to force me to live by your beliefs (or lack thereof). Freedom of religion is freedom to live your life according to your beliefs every day, not just freedom to worship as you choose on one day per weekend.

| 1.6°C Belfast
Wages for average UK workers are less than they were 12 years ago, even after taking inflation into account, shocking official figures reveal.
The gender pay gap also remains stubbornly high, data from the Office of National Statistics showed.
The median full-time worker is now paid £539 per week (£28,028 a year), less than the £555 per week they earned in 2004. Despite a 1.9 per cent salary increase this year, annual average earnings are still around £1,600 less than their 2009 peak.
Earnings for the lowest paid rose 5.9 per cent, faster than any other group last year, meaning wage inequality decreased slightly. The ONS said this was a result of the introduction of the National Living Wage on 1 April.
The pay gap between men and women narrowed slightly from 9.6 per cent to 9.4 per cent – the lowest since the survey began in 1997 – but the gap has remained stubbornly wide during this time. The gender gap for the highest earners is still 20 per cent.
Experts warned that inflation caused by the weakened pound, as well as economic uncertainty after the Brexit vote would keep real earnings low.
Debbie Abrahams, Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary, said: "The figures are yet more disappointing news for working people, with real earnings still below their pre-recession peak in 2008 and the number of people stuck in low-paid jobs increasing by 66 per cent on last year."
Laura Gardiner, senior policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation welcomed the introduction of the National Living Wage and the narrowing of the gender pay gap but warned Brexit could have a severe impact on wages.
"While 2016 has been the strongest year for pay in over five years, we may not see this level of growth again this Parliament given the outlook for lower earnings growth and higher inflation in the wake of the Brexit vote.
"It is encouraging to see pay finally recovering after a long and painful squeeze but with the pace of recovery set to slow, it could be another decade before we see a return to pre-crash pay levels."

Can we find drugs that remove myelin debris more quickly?
Lead researcher: Dr David Lyons
Based at: University of Edinburgh
MS Society funding: £39,710
Status: Active
About the project
In MS, the immune system damages the protective myelin coating around nerve cells. In order for the brain to repair the damage with new myelin, it first has to get rid of the old myelin debris. Special immune cells called macrophages usually clear up the debris, but in MS they struggle to do so quickly enough.
David's team recently developed a live imaging system to automatically assess how different drugs affect myelin formation in growing zebrafish.
This project will use the same system to look at how myelin debris is cleared in the brains of zebrafish. By looking at the effect of different drugs on the rate of clean-up the team aim to identify ones that have the potential to be tested as myelin repair treatments for MS.
How will it help people with MS?
Finding treatments to slow or stop progression in MS is our top priority. Developing ways to quickly identify drugs that could help the brain repair damaged myelin is an important step towards developing new treatments.
The next research breakthrough is in reach
Your donation will help stop MS.
£30could process one blood sample, giving researchers crucial information about genes and the immune system.
£50could pay for an hour on a microscope, so scientists can study cells and tissue in greater detail and improve their understanding of the biology of MS.
£100could pay for half an hour of MRI use, so researchers can monitor the success of clinical trials and understand MS in more detail.
Every penny you give really does take us a step closer to stopping MS. Your donation will make a difference.
£10a month could pay for lab equipment like microscope slides to study the building blocks of MS
£20a month could pay for lab equipment like petri dishes to grow bacteria important for studying genetics
£30a month could process a blood sample to help us understand what causes MS, so we can stop it in its tracks
Your regular donation means we can keep funding world class MS research with confidence. Together we will stop MS.

The formula given below can be used to get percent of discount.
= (Amount of discount / Marked price) x 100 %
And also, list price or marked price is the one attached to the article before the discount made is called as marked price (or) list price of the article.
To find discount amount, we have to subtract selling price from the list or marked price.
Let us look at some examples to understand how to find percent of discount on a sale.
Example 1 :
A bicycle marked at $1500 is sold for $1350. What is the percentage of discount?
Solution :
Given : Marked Price = $1500, Selling Price = $1350
Amount of discount = Marked Price – Selling Price
= 1500 – 1350
= $150
Discount for $1500 = $150
Percent of discount = (150/1500) ⋅ 100
= (1/10) ⋅ 100
= 10%
Percentage of discount = 10%.
Example 2 :
The list price of a frock is $220. A discount of 20% on sales is announced. What is the amount of discount on it and its selling price?
Solution :
Given : List (Marked) Price of the frock = $220,
Rate of discount = 20%
Amount of discount = (20/100) ⋅ 220
= $44
Selling Price of the frock = Marked Price – Discount
= 220 – 44
= $176
Example 3 :
A toy is on sale for 40% off. If the original price was $40, what is the new sales price?
Solution :
Marked price = $40
Discount percent = 40%
Discount amount = 40% of 40
= (40/100) ⋅ 40
= 16
By subtracting the discount amount from marked price, we may get the sale price.
Sale price = 40 - 16
= $24
Example 4 :
After serious negotiating you got $25 discount on a pair of sneakers. If the original price of the sneakers was $125, what percentage discount did you get?
Solution :
Discount amount = $25
Original price of the sneaker = $ 125
Discount percent
= (Amount of discount / Original price) ⋅ 100
= (25/125) ⋅ 100
= 20%
So, the percent of discount we get is 20%.
Example 5 :
If you buy 2 pens and you get a 50% discount on the second pen. If 1 pen costs $2.30, how much will 2 pens cost you?
Solution :
Cost of 1 pen = $2.30
Discount for the second pen = 50%
Discount amount for the second pen = 50% of 2.30
= (50/100) ⋅ 2.30
= 1.15
Cost price of 2 pens = 2.30 + 1.15
= $ 3.45

I witnessed my problem being corrected before my eyes. The installation crew arrived ready for work and did a great clean up. I only spoke by phone to the office staff, but my questions were always answered. The salesman made two visits to my home and drew diagrams and plans to explain. The work done in the other state helped me to sell my house.

Thanks for metioning my blog, I really appreciate it!ReplyDelete
Hala, my beauty blog ka pala? I do roll my eyes on beauty bloggers who says " this is really a must have on your kikay kit" or " I can't live without this" yada yada! I'm glad Hindi ka na ganyan. Hehe!
Thanks againReplies
Guilty as charged!Delete
But for the record, I really stood by my "must-have" reviews. As in I didn't use that word lightly ha, a must-have must really be a must-have for me, regardless of the price or how much hype it's getting.
Defensive ba?! hahahaha!

Without kikayexchange, I wouldn't have found this blog. So there, please don't feel guilty. :-) With regards to beauty blogs, my two cents is that reading reviews (i.e. being informed) on the latest HG products is just that. So instead of buying, a wise consumer with the correct mindset and priorities can filter out the necessities from the many advertorials. Somehow for me reading beauty blogs helps curb my 'lust' to buy or test the products for myself. And when it's time to restock my skincare supply (which is every 3 months) I know exactly what to purchase, without having to test different shampoos, facial wash, etc. at once.ReplyDelete
I always thought that I was empowering my readers in KE when I made my reviews, because I tried to make my posts as honest as possible as I knew people would consider my opinion when making their future purchase.ReplyDelete
So don't worry, I don't feel guilty at all for my past life as a beauty blogger :)
