<b>Konnichiwa, Chiba!</b> <span style="color: red; text-align: justify;">❤</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yay, it's another prefecture unlocked in Japan. Do you know that Chiba is the home of Narita International Airport and Tokyo DisneyLand and DisneySea? It is so near Tokyo, but sadly, people often make just 1-2 days trip to Chiba for sightseeing. So, in this post, I will tell you <b>why you should spend <u>at least</u> 3 days in Chiba</b>...</div>

In Chiba Prefecture, like any other prefecture in Japan, there are different attractions that you can enjoy in every season. My trip to Chiba is mid-October, around the beginning of autumn where the trees are still green and we don't get to see fall foliage yet :( So, make sure you choose the right timing to make your trip the most memorable one! </div>

You can see <b><u><a href="https://www.ohfishiee.com/2020/03/travel-top-8-things-to-do-in-boso-no.html" target="_blank">this blog post</a></u></b> for the full experience in Boso-no-Mura!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sawara (佐原), locally known as koedo or “Little Edo,” is a small step back to the Edo Period (1603-1867) where it used to be a transport hub for rice shipments into the capital. Today, the history-rich Sawara canal takes the centrestage of the district, and it is lined with many preserved and restored traditional residences, merchant shops and warehouses from the Edo Period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is very similar to <u><b><a href="https://www.ohfishiee.com/2018/11/travel-3d2n-itinerary-okayama-kurashiki-city.html">Kurashiki (倉敷) in Okayama</a></b></u> which I visited last year. Come enjoy a boat tour at the canal and watch the twice hourly waterfall at the bridge.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kamogawa Sea World is my favourite place in Chiba! Definitely a <b>MUST VISIT! </b><span style="color: red;">❤ </span>Here I get to watch amazing performances by the Beluga whale, dolphins and sea lions, as well as enjoy close-up interactions with these sea creatures and watch the swimming whales while I dine at the aquarium restaurant.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Little did I know Chiba has vast mountainous area for paddy farming. This place reminds me of Tegallalang Rice Terrace in Bali, except for the chilly weather here. There is nothing much around here except for a rice milling plant, but it is good to visit for taking Instagram-worthy photos :P </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you drive through the tunnel from either side of Tokyo Bay (Kawasaki or Kisarazu), it rises again to the surface at Umihotaru. Then you can stop by to enjoy the breathtaking view of Tokyo's skyline and its iconic buildings from here. It houses probably the world's most unusual parking lot, apart from 5 floors of restaurants & souvenir shops. Remember to take picture at the observation deck on Level 4!</div>

On the last day of our trip, we finally have the chance to visit Mother Farm, a famous 250-hectare animal farm located on Mt. Kanozan. To my surprise, it is not just an animal farm that houses sheep, cows, alpacas etc, but it also offers amusement park rides, free animal shows, animal feeding and we can even enjoy the ice creams made locally from the farm cow's milk here. Must visit too!</div>

This is the nearest temple from Narita International Airport - only 15-20 minute walk from JR Narita / Keisei Narita Stations. This 1,000-year-old temple never fails to impress me with its exquisite charm - something different from the overcrowded Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. <br />

So this sums up my 5D4N trip in Chiba, Japan. I guess this is the uniqueness of Japan -- Every prefecture has its own charm, and Chiba is not lacking of its scenic natural spots (especially fruit picking and flower viewing), culture-rich and historical attractions. The best part is, you get to enjoy different experiences in all 4 seasons! </div>

When we surround ourselves with people or things that constantly make us unhappy, it would amplify the negativity in our daily life. On the contrary, when we constantly have people who are supportive of what we do while showing care and love, our daily life would then be at ease even during challenging times. People like this are rare gems and hard to come by; so cherish them with all your might while you can :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Cc8Gvz9chc5fg0cVyGW6iTPM_QO7X2RH9m1eQ8T_2uiZR_ejNunNwsDTE1BU88FTgevARPO_42BYuqrXZU3KlXYh-N3AHj-cijP_kN9ChRJuMNflwTA-jh0XVv9EGETverdH-xsXqNJ9QBY3Wo-e_zcmniOiE4HTNy2lb5xR3XVsaVbhbUoMQC3YcEk/s735/ootd-nike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="573" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Cc8Gvz9chc5fg0cVyGW6iTPM_QO7X2RH9m1eQ8T_2uiZR_ejNunNwsDTE1BU88FTgevARPO_42BYuqrXZU3KlXYh-N3AHj-cijP_kN9ChRJuMNflwTA-jh0XVv9EGETverdH-xsXqNJ9QBY3Wo-e_zcmniOiE4HTNy2lb5xR3XVsaVbhbUoMQC3YcEk/s16000/ootd-nike.jpg" /></a></div></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Way towards a better self, once again!</i></b></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">❤</span><span style="color: red;">❤</span><span style="color: red;">❤</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">xoxo,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><i>FiSh</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><i>29.02.2024</i></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647269435289170693.post-27770670654811590832024-02-21T10:40:00.000+08:002024-02-21T10:40:02.093+08:00The Audition Process Demystified: Succeeding in Model Castings<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3ealI6qI4m4rfuLTAAT-DbSEgtVhGbl85jJEA48memzEBGenzxwVlwoVgDa5rk4MSxAGCNzk6j1ezdniOOgeuMXoAybNhXKToPnwydCZjB-sWDEKYOU_Cz9Et3Q98panVxbAtxQtBUJSSUQ-4f67JQo8oUVFHg_OLkMHnICIGEWgvl44ixZLhJThUEY/s735/model-audition.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3ealI6qI4m4rfuLTAAT-DbSEgtVhGbl85jJEA48memzEBGenzxwVlwoVgDa5rk4MSxAGCNzk6j1ezdniOOgeuMXoAybNhXKToPnwydCZjB-sWDEKYOU_Cz9Et3Q98panVxbAtxQtBUJSSUQ-4f67JQo8oUVFHg_OLkMHnICIGEWgvl44ixZLhJThUEY/s16000/model-audition.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Have you been invited to a model casting? If so, congratulations! You’re one step closer to launching a
professional modeling career.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’re excited, but you may be wondering how to prepare. Attending a casting call can be a little
daunting if you’re uncertain what to expect. In this article, we will break it down and demystify the
audition process once and for all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here’s what to know ahead of your next model casting call:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Anticipate a Wait</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you attend a model casting, you seldom know how many other models have been called in to
audition. You could be waiting with just a few other people, or there could be hundreds attending the
same casting as you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To ensure you remain patient and in a good mood, clear your schedule ahead of time so you don’t feel
stressed or rushed. Bring snacks so you don’t get “hangry” while you wait, and make sure you bring a
book to read or some other way to pass the time while you wait.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you get into the right frame of mind and anticipate some sort of a wait, you’re less likely to feel
upset or flustered when it’s your turn to be seen. If you’re calm and collected, you’re more likely to be
focused and ready to wow the room, which is precisely what you came to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Expect a Review of Your Portfolio</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A large part of being prepared is looking prepared. So impress the casting team by bringing along your
model portfolio.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A model portfolio is a book that showcases your past work. If you’re new to the industry, you can have
friends or family take your photographs to reflect your look and style so you can <b><u><a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/model-portfolio" target="_blank">build a model portfolio</a></u></b>
with those shots. A good portfolio will give the casting team an idea of your range and whether you may
be a good fit for their project.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Consider bringing a comp card with you to the casting. A comp card can act as your business card,
though it’s usually slightly larger than a postcard. In addition to a few photos, it typically includes your contact information, height, hair and eye color, and body measurements. It’s a good idea to leave your comp card with the casting team so you’ll stay fresh in their minds even after you’ve left the room.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Plan for a Brief Interview</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Modeling is about more than just your look. It’s also about your personality. Models are often expected
to sell a product, so you should also understand how to sell yourself. If you’re a print model, the casting team will want to know that your personality can jump off the page and grab a reader’s attention.
Likewise, if you’re interested in a career as a runway model, you should know how to command a room.
When you attend a model casting, ensure your personality shines through.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Be prepared to answer some questions about your model portfolio. For instance, if you have a
professional portfolio, the casting team may inquire what project it was for or ask the name of the
photographer who took the photos. Being prepared with the answers to these questions will make you
appear professional and knowledgeable. You may also need to answer a few questions about your
availability and, depending on the type of project, your comfort level with the job requirements.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like any job interview, you should be prepared to answer some questions and make a good first
impression.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDU-QX2UQa4AxbU1z2hRG0MWURyFvtWfpe0ClCJRJKL4h0A4ajmZIYrmmFEISDBq7HL0joz3CNg8pmyqgrmhmFC7eM3NS7FqwtMTeX2aZq9qUu92adLNHJHH3BKYijBuK3TxMvAvrI64TqQweuj4AFETKuRB8UCqAoUmdIFjgsYODqgRBy93CQRliAD-o/s735/model-audition-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDU-QX2UQa4AxbU1z2hRG0MWURyFvtWfpe0ClCJRJKL4h0A4ajmZIYrmmFEISDBq7HL0joz3CNg8pmyqgrmhmFC7eM3NS7FqwtMTeX2aZq9qUu92adLNHJHH3BKYijBuK3TxMvAvrI64TqQweuj4AFETKuRB8UCqAoUmdIFjgsYODqgRBy93CQRliAD-o/s16000/model-audition-2.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Be Prepared to Take a Few Test Shots</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The casting team may take a few test shots, or if you’re auditioning for a runway campaign, they may
ask you to showcase your walk. If you’re new to modeling, practice some poses in the mirror
beforehand so you know what looks work best.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wear something simple, flattering, and form-fitting, and bring a few extra items to help you pull off a
different look. For example, bring a pair of heels to showcase your walk or a hair tie in case the casting
team wants to see your hair pulled back.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Anticipate Another Wait</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the model casting, you’ll have to wait to hear whether you booked the job. In some cases, you may
be put on hold because the casting team is interested in you but hasn’t yet made a final decision. After
their decision, they will let you know if you will be hired, or you may be released, which means the client will not book you for this project.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In many cases, you won’t hear from the casting team. If you don’t book the job, they may not contact
you at all following the audition. So keep moving forward and auditioning for other projects while you
wait to see whether you’ll hear something.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t book a particular project, you should know it likely has nothing to do with whether or not
you’re a talented model. There are several factors that go into casting decisions, many of which are out
of your control. So maintain a positive attitude and keep trying!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another reminder—before you attend any model casting, you should thoroughly vet it. Be sure to meet
up at a professional studio or another public setting. If you spot any red flags, trust your instincts.
Partnering with a reputable talent agency is one way to confirm that you’re attending a professional
model casting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you’re seeking representation, reach out to <b><u><a href="https://innovisiontalentagency.com/brand-statement/" target="_blank">InnoVision Talent Agency</a></u></b>. They work with models and
actors of all experience levels. If you’re new to the business, seek trusted representation to keep your

I have put in so much thoughts into "chasing the big things" but I failed to appreciate the importance of the fundamentals / building blocks of these big things. Ultimately, having a supportive partner like having a best friend who will not judge you for your mistakes, traumas, and life choices is more crucial than "ticking off the checklist". I hope that the future me, when reading this, will constantly be reminded of this principle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And I learn that we should not rely on someone else for our own happiness, as true happiness comes from within and only then can we bring someone else along for the ride. Someone needs to complement us, not complete us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hopefully the upcoming months in 2024 will be the time for me to get to know myself better -- to walk in solitude, to listen to my thoughts to realign them with my values, to self-soothe and seek comfort from within, to only reserve a place in my life to people who have earned it with effort and enthusiasm. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">After all the years, I need to remind myself that <b>it is okay to be alone</b>, because all of us need a break in this beautiful world alone to figure everything out once again. I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, but it is not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Once you start loving your own presence,</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>you stop chasing people in your life.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvP49gaeJC1NE0h3ilC6FeRMQ6mSfQ93EInO7uIvKvKrJytdaWXAtPOdl9pTxZ45k7woXGkrjXTLRNOjROsZQncPN4IzbRXfOc04sZ1ey_-PtNQLpF2KQ6OkS3pmAls047LEqHRDM6C733THaqEIf3SG1w55N_DSz-eNYNDONhVswGt6Xjxy5q3JCePE/s735/merlion-park-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvP49gaeJC1NE0h3ilC6FeRMQ6mSfQ93EInO7uIvKvKrJytdaWXAtPOdl9pTxZ45k7woXGkrjXTLRNOjROsZQncPN4IzbRXfOc04sZ1ey_-PtNQLpF2KQ6OkS3pmAls047LEqHRDM6C733THaqEIf3SG1w55N_DSz-eNYNDONhVswGt6Xjxy5q3JCePE/s16000/merlion-park-singapore.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Thanks for the lessons learnt in January.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>// 2 0 2 4. </b><span style="color: red;">❤</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Note to self: Remember, you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again :) jiayous.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>xoxo,</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>FiSh</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>31.01.2024</i></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647269435289170693.post-65311916243853808422024-01-18T19:55:00.002+08:002024-01-18T19:55:06.526+08:005 Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Your Wife Will Love<div style="text-align: justify;">Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.

<b>Konnichiwa from Chiba Prefecture Open-Air Museum, Boso-no-Mura! </b><span style="color: red; text-align: justify;">❤</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit that something magical in Japan that keeps me coming back is the strong cultural footprint from the Edo Period which I'd love to discover more. And during this Chiba trip, I found it in Boso-no-Mura. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Unlike all the museums I've been, the entire village of Boso-no-Mura is an open-air 'museum' specially built to tell the tale of Japanese history, culture and heritage. With fleets of shophouses in traditional Edo architecture, interesting paraphernalias from prehistoric times, and a beautiful natural surrounding with vast lands for farming, this is probably the largest museum I've ever been. How amazing! </div>

In Boso-no-Mura complex, there are so many activities that you probably can't find elsewhere!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are among the top 8 things you can do in Boso-no-Mura:</div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">1. Rent a Kimono</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a complete experience, I'd strongly recommend you to explore the village in a traditional kimono / samurai outfit. You can rent according to your style at Cosplay no Yakata, located right next to Boso-no-Mura.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whereas “Furusato-no-Waza Arts and Crafts Area” features the reproduction of the houses of farmers and merchants from late Edo Period to the beginning of Meiji Period. Believe it or not, walking around here is already a unique experience on its own.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's do it the traditional Japanese way! As it is my first time learning the proper etiquette of preparing and drinking matcha (powdered green tea), I find it pretty interesting and the whole process, although only 15-20 minutes long, is very detailed. Highly recommended for first timers.</div>

Opened since 1962, this 5-decade-old Mother Farm is one of the first farm attractions in Japan. One thing I really love about Japan is the constant effort of preserving the place in its best condition. Of course, this farm doesn’t look old or shabby at all. In fact, it is so clean and well-equipped with modern facilities to make your visit memorable here. Perhaps that’s because livestock-raising industry is essential for the future of Japanese! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing to do here is joining the Mother Farm Tour, where we ride on a tractor train to tour around the farm, passing by the beautiful meadow pasture where all the little sheep and cows live. Here we get to meet plenty of farm animals which are rather uncommon for us. The train will make a stop midway for us to feed the young cute sheep, alpacas and cows too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tour guide will also tell fun and interesting stories about the farm along the way, unfortunately itis in Japanese which we can’t understand. </div>

Mother Farm Milk is undoubtedly the richest-tasting milk I've ever tried! Love how it is made into such luscious<b> soft-serve ice cream </b>-- You can have it directly for the most original flavour, or add the bestselling toppings of caramel sauce and crunchy nuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

If you plan to have a complete meal here, then try the<b> Genghis Khan BBQ </b>cooked with Mother Farm's secret tasty sauce. I literally start salivating when I heard there are homemade sausages, ribeye steaks, burgers, etc.</div>

If you are lucky, you'll get to see Mother Farm with totally different vibes. The<b> "Flower Garden of Light" Illumination festival </b>in every November / December will make us feel the warmth of Christmas in the sea of flowers, how I'd wish to experience it on my own too!</div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Verdict:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mother Farm is an eye opening experience, full of surprises, especially for city girls like me. There are so many things to do in the farm, and I can easily spend a full day here with the cute little farm animals while appreciating the beauty of nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mother Farm is sure to offer beyond just a "farm visit", so highly recommended for leisure visits especially for families with young children.</div>

Afghanistan has been prized for centuries for its beautiful fragrance. However, some believe this
precious oil may also have exciting health and wellness applications beyond its use in perfumes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Soothing Skin and Senses</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rose oil is often added to skincare products for its gentle cleansing properties. The oil's naturally
occurring compounds may help clear blemishes without drying or irritating sensitive skin. Applying a
few drops of rose oil or rose serum from <b><u><a href="https://www.renaroots.com/products/afghan-rose-serum" target="_blank">Rena Roots</a></u></b> is also said to help balance pH levels, leaving

a wide range of other wellness applications. The oil's anti-inflammatory properties are thought to
help treat skin conditions like eczema and acne when applied topically. Rose oil's floral scent is also
believed to uplift mood, making it a popular aromatherapy choice for alleviating depression.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some people even mix a few drops of rose oil into hot tea or take it internally in capsule form to
soothe sore throats, reduce nausea, and aid digestion. When diluted with a carrier oil, rose oil may
also help ease headaches, muscle pains, and arthritis when massaged onto the skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Precious and Potent</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While more research is certainly needed, rose oil's long history of traditional use across many
cultures points to its potential as a versatile natural remedy. From its skin-soothing emollient effects
to its purported power to lift mood, tame tension, and more, this precious "liquid gold" is valued not
just for its fragrance but for its wide-ranging therapeutic promise.
While modern science has yet to fully validate the many health claims surrounding rose oil, its long
history of traditional use dating back thousands of years offers convincing anecdotal evidence. From
soothing dry skin to easing hot flashes, this treasured “liquid gold” has been used for centuries as far
more than a mere fragrance.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647269435289170693.post-61860208644084691302023-11-18T08:31:00.004+08:002023-11-18T08:32:40.530+08:00The Timeless Allure of Handmade Jewelry in Today's Fashion Scene<div style="text-align: justify;">Jewelry has always been an integral part of fashion, allowing people to add personal flair and
character to their outfits. In recent years, handmade and artisanal jewelry has seen a major
resurgence, offering an appealing antidote to mass-produced accessories. For fashion enthusiasts
today, the allure of handcrafted jewelry lies in its ability to make a statement while connecting the
wearer to the artisan who meticulously shaped each piece.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOBnBdkcx9YwuesE25Y73xvLUwuzZ6SU3csCeI8TcSmq8rG4TmKnNAxS6j9VYEHMZu4C_I_LAkmnADceK6D5g40MWXssSzJMKQjlVOBzYNNQwmu3MeCt4oLzsP6KGWEblpfU4VkR1o_-gEYQtdJzcHytHvyILrVJLBWg6PEUth2QqseMiw2mBwgWfdsok/s735/beads-trader-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="519" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOBnBdkcx9YwuesE25Y73xvLUwuzZ6SU3csCeI8TcSmq8rG4TmKnNAxS6j9VYEHMZu4C_I_LAkmnADceK6D5g40MWXssSzJMKQjlVOBzYNNQwmu3MeCt4oLzsP6KGWEblpfU4VkR1o_-gEYQtdJzcHytHvyILrVJLBWg6PEUth2QqseMiw2mBwgWfdsok/s16000/beads-trader-2.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Rise of Artisanal Appeal</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The handmade jewelry trend taking hold reflects a growing desire for unique, customized pieces
over factory-produced accessories. Shoppers increasingly value the one-of-a-kind nature of
handcrafted adornments, which offer a more personal touch than generic store-bought items. Much
of the appeal also stems from an appreciation for time-honored craftsmanship and the charming
imperfections of each handmade piece.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Intimacy of Knowing the Maker</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When someone purchases a handmade necklace or set of earrings directly from the artisan who
created it, a sense of connection develops between patron and maker. By supporting independent
jewelers, customers become part of preserving treasured skills that have been passed down through
generations. This intimate exchange elevates handmade pieces to keepsakes imbued with the

know how much practice it takes to get it right. Expertly crafted handmade jewelry reflects
remarkable mastery honed over many years of practice. Because artisans personally attend to each
step of the design and production process, their pieces stand as a testament to their capabilities. The
time and effort invested in handmade adornments are evident in the meticulous finishing and
thoughtful details that mass manufacturing simply cannot replicate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Allure of Imperfections</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While factory-produced jewelry emphasizes uniformity, the beauty of handmade pieces lies in their
natural imperfections. The small irregularities in shapes, textures, or finishes add organic warmth
and character to handcrafted jewelry. These signs of the maker's hand distinguishing each item help
counter the sterile predictability of manufactured accessories.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>A Legacy of Traditional Techniques</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Heirloom-quality jewelry relies on time-honored metallurgy, setting, engraving, stone-cutting, and

But is this eyebrow-enhancing procedure right for everyone? Let’s explore the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Understanding Microblading</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before exploring the pros and cons, it’s essential to understand what microblading actually is. Simply put, <b><u><a href="https://www.lashandbrowstudio.co.uk/cornwall-microblading" target="_blank">microblading</a></u></b> is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates an illusion of thicker, fuller
brows. By employing fine, hair-like strokes, a trained technician implants pigment into the upper
layer of the skin, making sparse brows appear naturally full.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>The Upsides of Microblading</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What are the main benefits of microblading? The procedure has many advantages, including:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Long-lasting Results</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the primary reasons why many people opt for microblading in Cornwall and other parts of
the UK is its longevity. Typically, the results last between 12 to 18 months. For those tired of daily
eyebrow filling, this offers a <b><u><a href="https://www.realself.com/nonsurgical/microblading" target="_blank">semi-permanent solution</a></u></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Natural-Looking Brows</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unlike some brow-enhancing methods that can look painted or overly dramatic, microblading
provides results that mimic natural brow hair. This subtlety is appealing to many who seek a more
authentic look.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Save Time on Daily Makeup Routine</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you’re someone who spends a considerable amount of time getting your brows just right every
morning, microblading can be a game-changer. Once done, there’s little daily maintenance required.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOY6WBUzrPfkwMbmiopLW6wh5VrH2nJd63CUoOqlzhM_5J1Kaap_EnvGLgdFuZyumbZUYHPqpsPx1pR_xmWOR3Mf5xskqzqFPqclYk9edI6BKrRbaMsJCiyTg4XGnqC4lQBZbfLbE-77jXTinIOUmsm8bfy1uD2d2XaWcTsqSXuJfJGkAnxWnIK98U44g/s735/microblading_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOY6WBUzrPfkwMbmiopLW6wh5VrH2nJd63CUoOqlzhM_5J1Kaap_EnvGLgdFuZyumbZUYHPqpsPx1pR_xmWOR3Mf5xskqzqFPqclYk9edI6BKrRbaMsJCiyTg4XGnqC4lQBZbfLbE-77jXTinIOUmsm8bfy1uD2d2XaWcTsqSXuJfJGkAnxWnIK98U44g/s16000/microblading_2.jpg" /></a></div></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>The Downsides of Microblading</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before you decide if this treatment is right for you, there are some downsides to consider, including:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Initial Cost Can Be High</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While microblading can save money in the long run, the initial investment can be substantial. Prices
can vary, but it’s essential to remember that in such treatments, you often get what you pay for.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Potential for Allergic Reactions</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though rare, some individuals may experience <b><u><a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/news/a45335/microblading-bad-reaction/" target="_blank">allergic reactions</a></u></b> to the pigments used in
microblading. It’s always wise to undergo a patch test before the full procedure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Pain and Discomfort</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some people might find the process painful. While most practitioners use numbing creams,
everyone’s pain threshold is different.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Maintenance and Touch-Ups</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While marketed as ‘semi-permanent’, microblading isn’t a one-time thing. To keep the brows looking
their best, periodic touch-ups are recommended.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Choosing the Right Microblading Technician</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The expertise of the technician plays a pivotal role in the outcome of the microblading procedure. Look for:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><b>Qualifications and certifications: </b>Always ensure your chosen technician has the necessary
certifications that validate their skill in microblading. </li><li><b>View before and after photos:</b> This will give you a clear idea of the technician’s work quality
and style. Look for natural results and consistent outcomes.</li><li><b>Read reviews and testimonials: </b>Local reviews can provide insights into customer satisfaction
and the overall experience with the technician.</li><li><b>Consult first: </b>Before committing, book a consultation. This allows you to discuss your
expectations, ask questions, and gauge the professionalism of the technician.</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Microblading offers an appealing alternative for those who desire fuller, natural-looking eyebrows
without daily fuss. While there are evident advantages, like long-lasting results and time-saving
benefits, it’s also crucial to consider the potential drawbacks.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647269435289170693.post-85266637950883118522023-10-03T00:00:00.002+08:002023-10-04T17:46:00.762+08:00[BEAUTY] Review: THE FACE SHOP Yehwadam Hwansaenggo Snow Glow Dark Spot Correcting Treatment<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
