Tips For Skin Rejuvenation With Red Light Therapy At Home - Usuie Magic Wand

Hi There..... Would you like some anti-aging tips for your skin? Have you ever tried red light therapy at home?


Picture by Seadbeady https://usuie.com/

Perhaps you are too young for skin rejuvenation tips and tricks. Don’t worry. It’s not an immense problem. Then again, you never know whether you have some friends that are in desperate need. 😉

You know, a few days ago, I saw a series (chasing beauty) about people who wanted to lend mother nature a hand despite their young age. I get it, not everyone is born as perfect as me. 😂

Ah, just kidding, but I learned that there are quite a few people on social media that have done some kind of plastic surgery. Things like facelifts, but lifts, boob jobs, liposuction, or any combination of those.  😦

Well, I admit I have used creams, collagen powder, and cosmetics for skin rejuvenation. I am certain, though, that I would never consider plastic surgery.  😎

Still, I am not judging or pointing the finger, because I think despite the consequences, everyone should be free to do what they want to their own body. 😊

Actually, I should add something new to my list now. The Magic Wand Usuie sent me to try red light therapy at home, in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

About Usuie

We founded Usuie in 2021 with a vision to bring innovative therapeutic techniques to the world. Co-founded by Dr. Margaret, whose vision and counseling drive our company forward to bring health and wellness through functional and valuable products. 

Headquartered in Anaheim Hills, CA, our services, and products extend to every individual looking for healing and treatment at affordable costs. 

Usuie Magic Wand

The optimal range of LED red light at 630nm helps deeply rejuvenate the skin and stimulates new collagen formation. It reveals youthful and radiant skin.

It provides a gentle massage, and speeds up the skin metabolism, helping to decrease puffiness and boost the skin's natural radiance.

The warming wand head helps to increase the absorption of skincare products with up to 3x deeper penetration, accelerates the skin's blood circulation, reduces redness, boosts the skin's glow, and controls oil secretion.

Micro-current uses low-voltage energy to stimulate the muscles and deeper layers of the skin, helping with anti-aging and developing smoother, and firmer skin.

How Can Red Light Therapy Support Your Health?

The most popular use of red light therapy is skin rejuvenation, including improving skin complexion, reducing signs of aging, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reducing skin roughness, and treating chronic skin disorders. Red light also shows promise for reducing sun damage, lightening sun spots, and smoothing overall skin tone and collagen production.

My opinion on the Usuie Magic Wand

One slight negative when I unpacked is that there is no USB power delivery charger. Then again, we all have one to charge our phones, so it's not an immense problem. 😉

Before I started, I did my usual morning face routine. I cleaned my face, applied my skin serum, and finally put on my eye and face cream. 😊

It's important to do this before you begin because your skin needs to be moist before you start. 😃

Picture by Seadbeady

I looked at the device and was wondering how on earth I had to switch it on. There was no on or off button, but I soon found out that merely touching the base was enough. 😄

It's not painful, it feels more like a warm relaxing massage. The shape makes it easy to hold, and what I think is super handy is that you can rotate the top. 😊

Ah yes, and because it's such a small device, you can also take it with you on vacation. It only takes a few minutes a day to make your skin look better. 😉

Picture by Seadbeady

I am sorry if I scared you with this last picture. Usually, you only get to see my smiling face, but I used this to best show the results I got after trying out the magic wand for 3 weeks. 

My skin tone has improved. My wrinkles are not as deep as they were before, and my eyes are more open, too. Overall, a result I wasn't expecting. The only thing I didn't notice any change in were the sun spots on my neck. 😍

I can't give you any guarantee there will be further skin rejuvenation after using it for a longer time, but I am hopeful. 😎

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Great Tip on Muscle Recovery - Bol.com - Rockerz Fitness® Muscle Massage Gun

Hi There..... Have you ever heard of a massage gun? Can I give you a tip on muscle recovery? 


Picture by Seadbeady

Come on, you can't say no. I bet you will want to know more about this Rockerz Fitness® Muscle Massage Gun I received in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Some of you may already know that I have severe joint and muscle problems. I was only 53 when I got my first hip prosthesis. 😢

Only 2 years later, after several surgeries, I also got a knee prosthesis. My cartilage is of very poor quality. I suppose I must have been last in line when they handed out joints to the new babies. 😒

I should have been more rebellious and skipped the line, but that's not me. Oh, no, always miss goody two shoes, refusing to do anything wrong because it may have repercussions. 😖

Don't you just hate people like that? Aren't they super boring? I hope not, because that's me, always trying to do the right thing. Well, perhaps not always. 😇

Ok, high time to give you that tip on muscle recovery. 😍

My opinion on the Rockerz Fitness® Muscle Massage Gun

The least effort makes my muscles tense, accompanied by pain, of course. With the use of this massage gun, I can ease the tension of the muscles without having to go to a physiotherapist every time. 😊

One slight negative may be that it saddens me I didn't discover this earlier. Pretty bad, isn't it? I don't think I'll ever recover from that. 😏

Picture by Seadbeady

The massage gun comes in a super handy case you can take with you everywhere you go. There is a handy appendix with all the information on how to use the device. 😊

It also has different attachments, so you can use it for all your muscles. You really can't go wrong for that price if you ask me. 😉

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where To Find Sweaters For Men In The Netherlands - HemdVoorHem - Men's Fashion

Hi There..... Are you looking for men's fashion? Perhaps you are specifically looking for sweaters for men?


Picture provided by HemdVoorHem

Oh my, that’s too bad. I’m afraid I can’t help you. I suppose you had better go find another blog on men’s fashion because you won’t find any here. 😕

Wow, wait, please don’t go. I was only fooling around. Of course, I can help you find those sweaters for men you so desperately need. 😁

Isn’t it just great? Pretty soon the weather will turn, and that means game over for shorts and sandals. 😄

Nah, of course not. Summer is the best season, and I wouldn’t mind if it lasted all year long. 😎

I know it hurts, but it’s time to clean out your closet and start counting the number of sweaters you have left. If you need to fill in a few blanks, you’d be happy to get some tips from me. 😉

That reminds me of what my mom used to say when I couldn't find something. Not that we were catholic, but she always said to ask Saint Anthony for help. Curious, as always, I had to find out who this mysterious man could be. 😏

The traditional practice of praying for St. Anthony's help in finding lost or stolen things had to do with him losing his book of psalms. You can find out more on Wikipedia. Just click the link above. 😊

Ah yes, I'm sorry. Have I been talking too much again about everything and nothing? Let's get back to the grind. 😉

Men's sweaters

Sweaters for men who want to wear that extra layer in winter or during the bitter days. Our sweaters are perfect for the office or are nice and casual with sporty pants. 

Mix and create your own style: combine a men's sweater with one of our non-iron shirts or simply over a T-shirt. 

Our men's sweaters are available in wonderfully soft cotton, fine virgin wool, or in a beautiful mix of materials that are wonderful to wear. 

Business or casual, there is a cardigan, men's sweater, turtleneck, or pullover for every occasion. 

In our online collection, for example, you can find wonderful turtlenecks, sleeveless cardigans to wear over a shirt, and sweaters for men from business to casual and sporty. 

Every season we adapt our online range of men's sweaters and cardigans to the latest fashion trends.


HUGO BOSS men's sweaters

Men's sweaters from HUGO BOSS are not only exquisite in quality, but they are also great sweaters to look at. 

The casual sweatshirts and sweat jackets from HUGO BOSS are great for leisure and casual days. The knitted sweaters are less sporty but still casual, modern, and made of materials that are pleasant to wear. 

They are often very easy to combine with a crisp white T-shirt and jeans, chino, or a neat version of the jogging pants. HUGO BOSS sweaters for men ensure that you always look stylish.

HemdVoorHem also sent me this hoodie in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

Tommy Hilfiger Women's Authentic Hoodie

Gray melange Tommy Hilfiger ladies Authentic hoodie is a lovely lounge cardigan for on the couch or if you need a quick extra layer against the cold. 

Modern hoodie with logo tape on the hem that is super comfortable because of the use of a French Terry cotton blend, where the outside is sweat fabric and the inside is reminiscent of a nice towel. 

The sweat jacket has a hood with a drawstring and pouch pockets. It closes with a zipper and the inside from the start to the hood is finished with Tommy Hilfiger signature tape in the neckline. 

They finished the bottom with dark blue tape with a repeating Tommy Hilfiger logo on the hem and the vest has the famous embroidered Tommy Hilfiger flag on the chest. 

Nice to combine with the matching leggings or jogging pants for the ultimate lounge set.

Picture by Seadbeady

My opinion on the Tommy Hilfiger Women's Authentic Hoodie

I asked if they would send me the M hoodie since that's my usual size. Regret to say that it was too small for me. I couldn't close the zipper, so I asked if it was ok to return it. 😟

No problem at all, they said. I brought the package to the post office, and 2 or 3 days later they delivered a new one. 😃

You can return your items free, and trade them in for another size or something new, or worst-case scenario, get your money back. If that's not customer friendly, I don't know what is. 😍

Today was also a scorching hot day in Belgium (33celcius), but I still wanted to share my pictures of the hoodie with you. Ah, come on, you need some crazy people to know that you are still sane. 😂

The hoodie was nice and warm, cuddly, and soft on the inside. With energy prices still going up, I am more than prepared for the days to come. 😍

Curious to know more about HemdVoorHem? Check out my previous blog posts. 😍

Interview With Fashion Stylist Jeffrey Ampratwum

Hi There..... Would you like to learn more about the world behind fashion from a style expert?


Picture provided by Jeffrey Ampratwum

I sure hope so, because I'm doing a new fashion stylist interview. Well, I suppose you could say that's a lie because I already did the interview and this blog post is the result. 😎

First, I will share a few reviews, but after that, I am coming up with something completely new. 😃

I thought it would be a great idea to share a MUA interview. Some of you may not know what the .... (you can fill in the blanks to your own desire) that is. 😏

It's a Make-up Artist. I guessed they would make a great addition to my blog. 😊

You had better agree because you can't twist my arm. This interview is coming, there is no doubt about it. 😜

Not today, of course, because I wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes of 38-year-old fashion stylist Jeffrey Ampratwum first. 😍

Picture provided by Jeffrey Ampratwum

What are your function and the company you work for?

I am the Creative Fashion Director, Style Expert, and Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be?

I work in luxury fashion

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist? 

Being born and raised in New York City has ultimately contributed to my style and my style references. Innate abilities grew and became second nature to create with clothes and looks.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is cyclical and tells an overwhelming story about the past and, equally, can predict the future. This becomes important for us as a consuming culture.

Picture provided by Jeffrey Ampratwum

What are your successes and how did you achieve them? 

I believe having the ability to work with several fashion professionals, being a published artist, as well as providing confidence to those that I style is perhaps the best joy and accomplishment.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Brand names are never that important. It is more about the fit and style of the garment in question.

Describe your personal style of clothing.

I would have to say my personal style can be described as luxury-chic.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My personal style comes from years of influence from my looks throughout the years. It is a culmination of decades of trial and error.

In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style? 

As a creative style director, I am directly responsible for the way people present themselves with clothes simply because I present the recommendations and dress those who carry the influence forward.

Picture provided by Jeffrey Ampratwum

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment? 

At the current moment, wide-legged pants are in, and trending for both menswear
and womenswear!

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment? 

There aren’t any “worse” trends! Only opinions and subjective taste.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us? 

Be yourself, adjust to your style, and keep your mind open to trying fresh looks.

Who is your style icon and why? 

I like David Beckham’s rouge style because he can channel royal, rough, and rich all in one shoot!

Is there something else you would like to share with us? 

Stay tuned for more!

Thank you, Jeffrey, for answering my questions. Your styling looks amazing, and I can only recommend my readers to check out your impressive Linktree and stay tuned. 😊

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview With Fashion Designer Mugzy Mcfly

Hi There..... Have you been waiting impatiently for my new fashion designer interview? Are you a fan of a particular clothing brand?


Picture provided by Mugzy Mcfly

If not, perhaps this next one could be the one for you. Then again, it's not only about the designs, but the person behind them, and their path to becoming fashion designers. 😊

Yesterday I watched the first episode of the 2018 Project Runway All-Stars. I just love the series but have never seen the All-Stars version before. Shameful, I know. 😱

It pleasantly surprised me to see Alyssa Milano present the show. You probably remember her from Charmed. 

That series seems to be in a continuous loop here on Belgian television. Must be some kind of magic. 😄

Ah, I hope you are curious to get to know more about Mugzy Mcfly, because he gets to do the talking today. 😍

Picture provided by Mugzy Mcfly

What are your name, function, and the company you work for? 

My name is Mugzy Mcfly, I’m an all-around designer. That leaks into fashion, graphic, and creative designing. I own & manage my clothing brand, Signed By MCFLY

How old are you?

I’m 34 Years Young.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

Formally, I’m not studying anything. I’m a creator in the purest form. 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

I always had a deep love for sneakers. It eventually grew upwards. I was obsessed with either getting the kicks early or having a fit that topped everyone else. Naturally, designing chose me. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is my end all, be all. Without fashion, there is no me. It gives me an escape, a story, and a safe space. It’s my life.

Picture provided by Mugzy Mcfly

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I couldn’t really sit here & tell you all of them. Success is what you define it to be. My primary success is the freedom to create & happiness. I sacrificed for it, like anything worth it. Can’t give up on your dreams. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Early on, it did. Now I don’t care. I’m more into quality, story & energy. Does the piece connect to me? Is it something that fits my palette?

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My personality is just like my brand, high function, quality, fashionable sport. Something that looks good but feels good. Clothing with multiple uses for all types of people. 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

It’s more like my style found me. Every segment of my style is a part of my story. I don’t have a signature look, cause I’m forever exploring my style. One thing is for certain, I don’t like jeans.

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I’d like to think I have an influence on others' styles. I’ve seen styles inspired by my own. It’s one of the most flattering things. 

Picture provided by Mugzy Mcfly

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment? 

Right now it’s comfort, earth tones, and oversized everything. People aren’t wearing things that aren’t comfortable, you can see it in the fabrics we choose and the footwear. Crocs are heavy on the streets now. Lots of browns, grays & greens have been the color of choice lately. People have been going up on the sizing of their tees or getting a little baggy with their pants. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

I’m not a fan of baggy pants. It took me long enough to let it die the last time. I’d be damned if I gotta usher that back in. No thanks.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Learn yourself. Fashion has energy. Do you think you look good? Do you even feel good wearing what you do? There’s a feeling that’s undeniable. Chase that. 

Who is your style icon and why?

Kanye West, by miles. I inspire to have his courage & influence. He creates fashion & trends. People catch on years later. He lives in the future. I need that.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Do what you love, love what you do.

Picture provided by Mugzy Mcfly

Thank you so much Mugzy for working with me on this interview. I love your designs, especially the dark fantasy tapestry hoodie. Ah, now I got you curious, haven't I? 😜

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where To Find Trendy Raincoats in Germany - Dingy Weather Raincoat For Women

Hi There..... How is the weather over there? Do you need raincoats because it's raining cats and dogs, or the opposite?


Picture by Seadbeady https://dingy.eu/

Out here in Belgium, the sun is shining alright. Still, I want to talk to you today about raincoats. Ah, I see. You no doubt think I must be a crazy old lady. 😏

You're not that far off maybe, but over here you never know when the weather may change, and then you will be sorry I didn't alert you about this raincoat for women. 😜

I could have used one several years ago when I accompanied my daughter on her first swim in an open body of water. 😳

As we left to go to the channel, the sun was giving its best, but pretty soon it was pouring heavily. Never had I been so soaking wet as that day. Best day ever. 😃

Yikes, no, of course not. This raincoat for women, Dingy Weather, sent me as a gift, in exchange for my honest opinion would have been perfect back then. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

DingyWeather

Founded in 1992, the brand has focused for 30 years on the development of raincoats with a sense of quality, fashion, and design for women in the middle to upper segment.

Breaking the boundaries between traditional clothing and raincoats, interpreting the unique fashion sense of raincoats.

Color Matching

The brand's entire series breaks thinking and cognition, giving the raincoat different vitality with a unique sense of visual color.

Classical & Easy Customize

With all his cruel ferocity and coldness, there was an under of something in Tars Tarkas, which seemed ever battling to subdue. Could it be some kind of human instinct coming back?

Picture by Seadbeady

Raincoat for women

outer fabric: 100% polyester
Coating: 100% polyurethane
style: medium and long
Applicable for: Spring and autumn
color: Golden, black
Waterproof and windproof: 100% PU-coated raincoat made from recycled polyester, and it has a water resistance rating of 5000mm. The major benefit of this material is the permanent tightening of the fabric. The PU coating offers greater durability compared to traditional diving or DWR. It protects you from wet weather and keeps you warm and comfortable.  

Shows detail: 

Women's trench coat
Hood adjustable with an elastic rope
Velcro cuffs
Detachable waist belt
External pocket with a flap and an internal pocket with a zip
The rear fork is designed for effortless movement.  

Picture by Seadbeady

Lightweight, breathable, and foldable:

Unlined, more breathable, and not stuffy; looser, you can also wear a thin transition coat indoors in winter. There are two webbing straps on the inside of the raincoat for easy foldable storage.  

Reflective logo:

We chose the well-known 3M reflective logo to make traveling at night safer.  

Occasions:

This raincoat combines style with functionality. Especially in bad weather, this raincoat is ideal for a stroll through town, a walk on the beach, or on the bike on the way to school, work, or university.  

Picture by Seadbeady

My opinion on the raincoat for women

I love they make their raincoats of recycled materials. As you can see in the picture above, they delivered the coat in a cardboard box with a canvas bag with handles to take your coat with you. 😊

The raincoat is nice and light, and the color is as expected. You can button it all the way up to your neck. It's also long enough to keep your trousers dry too, which is also a big plus. 😎

I also love the cut, and the belt lets you tighten the waist to your need. It has pockets on the outside, but also a handy one on the inside. You can use the small additional bag to carry your phone. 😊

Oh yes, don't worry too much that this blog is only about this raincoat for women, and not for men because they have lots to choose from for both men and women. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
