So many women are asking the questions “Why are our razors so much more expensive than men’s?” and “Is there even a difference between mens and womens razors?”

Put simply, there is a difference when it comes to mens vs womens razors, but they don’t necessarily need to be priced differently.

Besides manscaping, men are generally only shaving their faces. Women are shaving multiple parts of their bodies — legs, underarms, and the bikini area. Just from this, it’s only logical that we would need different razors!

There isn’t much of a difference between the blades of the razors themselves, but there are many differences between the handle and surrounding part of the blade!

WHY SHOULDN’T I JUST SHARE MY MAN’S RAZOR?

Well, you CAN if you really want to. No one is going to stop you!

One of the worst things about doing that though: it’s extremely unhygienic.

Also, it’s very likely that he isn’t going to love the fact that you’re using the same razor he uses on his face to shave your bikini area!

You’re shaving a lot more skin than he is (about 18 times more, actually), so his blades are going to become dull much quicker than they usually would. This might cause him to get more nicks and cuts — especially if he doesn’t know you’re using his razor — because he doesn’t realize that it’s getting dull and when he needs to change the blades!

HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IS THERE REALLY BETWEEN MENS VS WOMENS RAZORS?

A lot, actually.

The biggest and most obvious difference is that most mens and womens razors differ in color. Womens razors usually are colors like pink or light blue, while mens razors are usually grey, green, black, or dark blue. In reality, this isn’t a difference that matters much at all. Anyone should be able to get any color razor they want to.

While the blades themselves usually won’t be too different, the angle of them and the surrounding area & handle have many differences!

A men’s razor usually has a greater blade angle, because they’re usually just shaving their face. Facial hair is much thicker than any of the hair that women shave, so the hair requires more of an effort when it’s being cut.

As for women’s razors, they usually have a greater arc in them so that you can easily see your skin when you’re trying to shave, like on the backs of the legs. Men are easily able to see their entire face in the mirror, but since women shave in the shower, it’s a bit trickier!

Finding the best winter coat to fit your needs may seem like a daunting experience. There are a lot of choices; certain coats have liners and extra layers for environments that are less than predictable. There are light-weight coats and heavy coats, and kinds in between. So, when it’s time to pick out the best winter coat for you, first you’ll have to decide what you need in one, and then you’ll have to find the right size for you.

Deciding On What You Need In Your Winter Coat

First things first, finding a coat to suit your environment and your needs will be the best thing to keep you warm this winter. Think about where you live, although the weather is constantly changing, what are the temperatures like when the colder weather comes in? If you are hinting at 60 degrees F, for a low, then getting a windbreaker or a lighter-weight winter coat. If you live in this environment, but plan on going skiing or going up to a more mountainous region, purchasing an extra coat is a good idea.

Of course, they have coats for skiing, but the best winter coats don’t have to be an activity theme. Getting a coat for skiing and then one for when you aren’t skiing, but are still up in the cooler air, can seem like overkill on the jackets. But, it is an option, unless you find a jacket with layers.

Once you determine your needs for the coat, then decide if you believe a multi-functional, layered coat is right for you. Some questions you can ask yourself are:

What will I be doing in the coat?

Will this coat be for one type of activity only (e.g., skiing, snowboarding, going to school, ice skating, snowman making, etc.)

What will I be wearing under the coat?

How do I want the coat to feel (e.g., what kind of fabric do you like?)

Do I want a coat with layers?

Do I want a coat with a hood?

Are you looking for down insulation or synthetic materials?

Does my coat have to be waterproof or water-resistant?

How heavy is the coat I want to buy?

How many, and what kind of pockets do I need?

The best kind of winter coats are multi-functional and can keep you protected in many walks of the everyday and special activities.

Finding The Right Size For Your Coat

Now that you know what kind of coat you are looking for, you’ll get to pick your size. Choosing clothes online can sometimes be a little hit or miss. However, there are some great ways to get a good idea of how an item will fit you and how it will last.

Reading reviews is always a good idea — most people are pretty honest when it comes to reviews, and the ones that are written out of spite or anger are easy to spot. If the reviews have more good than bad, especially on the “fit,” then that is an ideal manufacturer to go with, if the coat states that the fit is inconsistent, then be wary of buying that style of a winter coat, no matter how cute it looks.

Check out the “fit” guidelines. Many manufacturers have a “size to fit” chart; it’s how you tell what size you are, even if you aren’t in the physical vicinity of the actual merchandise. Most fit charts give weight, size, and height together so you know what size will work for you.

If you aren’t buying your coat online, trying on coats is an option; however, you’ll still need to know what kind of size to start out with. Going into any coat purchase is better if you have measurements.

How To Measure Your Body For The Right Fit

You will need to measure many parts of your body for the right fit of your jacket. However, one of the most important measurements needed will be the chest. If your body proportion is considered “standard” (aka your arms are not longer than average), measuring your chest may be the only measurement you’ll need to take.

For a looser fit, you’ll want to add one to two inches extra to your chest measurement. If you’d like a better fitting coat, make sure to measure your sleeve, shoulder, and jacket length. Unfortunately, international measurements are not all the same. If you’d like to buy a European jacket, the measurements are divided into more subsystems.

What Is The Best Winter Coat For You?

In conclusion, it’s not hard to figure out what needs you’ll have for a winter jacket once you determine your activity level and figure out the type of winter you have in your region.

It’s time to choose color and material pillows that suit with your home.

Pillows are meant to bring extra comfort and cushion to your couch, so it’s important to use good quality throw pillows. All foam throw pillows aren’t going to be your first choice for support when you’re trying to curl up for a nap on your couch.

Bold Solid

If your room already has a lot of patterns, like a patterned sofa, dramatic curtains, or a vibrant rug, take your pillow fabrics down a notch. Or if you really like color but don’t want to use a vibrant hue on large pieces (like your sofa or club chairs) just use solid pillows in very vibrant hues. If you’re starting from scratch, find a fabric, an art print , or an accessory as a jumping off point. For example, we picked the gorgeous plaid throw on the back of the sofa and let it inspire the rest of the space. The spicy orange and navy are both found in the

blanket, so we picked pillows in solid shades for maximum color impact!

One color, three patterns

If you want a group of pillows in just one color, choose three different fabrics that work together. We used a very organic, bold print as our jumping off point (the floral pattern in the center), and we balanced the color on the sofa with bold velvet pillows in the corner and plaid pillows in the middle.

The basic key here is balance. The bold pillows in the middle and in the corners help to balance the off-white sofa and lighter plaid pillows. The feminine floral print in the center is balanced by a more masculine plaid print on either side. And the patterned pieces are a balance to the solid pieces.

So when you’re putting together different fabrics in the same color, just ask yourself, “does this pattern balance this pattern?”

Warm, neutral colors

Even if you want to keep your color palette neutral, you’ll still need a few throw pillows to bring texture and pattern to your space. For this combination, we chose a color palette of off-white, taupe, and chocolate.

Simple but Fresh with Analogous Colors

If you like color but want a group of pillows that aren’t too loud, choose colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, or analogous colors. These are colors that have a lot in common but are different, which makes for a color palette that is quieter and more polished.

For the sofa above, we chose pink and orange. These two colors are neighbors on the color wheel, but they’re still a great pairing. We also picked two art pieces to hang over the couch that reinforce the pink-and-orange combination.

Use Solids as an Exclamation Point

We love the way a well placed solid pillow in a vibrant color can act like an exclamation point on your couch. A rich, sapphire blue stands out the most, even though there are patterns and other colors here too. A solid pillow may seem like a boring choice when there are so many lovely patterns out there, but in the right space, one solid pillow in a bold color can really establish a color palette that may have been hiding.

Streamlined Stripes

If you’re looking for an approach that isn’t fussy, we love to simply pair one bold color in a lush fabric (here we used velvet) with a classic stripe. Stripes are a great pattern to use for pillows because they’re the perfect balance of bold and simple. Our strategy here was easy enough, choose one bold color used elsewhere in your space for three pillows, then bring in two striped pillows for a little pattern.

The shade existing apart from everything else, dark is all that you need it to be in practically any living space. Good with family rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, it's just regular that its forces would work delightfully in a bedroom.

We work 24/7. But once you step into your house, it’s hard to open the laptop on that comfy bed of yours. The cosy sofa is an equally uninviting option to prepare for the meeting at home. What you need is a home office.

But where is the space in your house? You don’t have an entire room to spare.

With a little innovation and some planning, you can convert any corner of your house into a beautiful workstation. Whether you want to use it daily or in the after-office hours, the place needs to be inviting, functional and comfortable. There are some easy ways to turn a small corner in your house into a beautiful home office.

#1 Analyse and Assess

You have to start with a little bit of groundwork. Look around the house and see where you can set the office up. You have to look for a corner that has electric sockets and plug points and is relatively cutter-free. If you find a place that is quite cluttered and you feel you can clean it up for the set-up, zero-in on it. Explore the usual areas like a rarely-used bedroom or the unusual areas such as under the stairs. Also keep your space requirements in mind. You may be able to set up your office with just a desk and chair or you may need a larger space with a cabinet. This will depend on the nature of your work, so you need to be careful in the assessment.

#2 The Office with a View

Make use of a large glass window that you may have in any room. Set up your home office in front of it. Not only will you benefit from the natural light, you will also have a beautiful view to enjoy. You can also utilise the window pane and store your work equipment there. If the pane is large enough, you can even use it as a desk and then you will just need a chair to set your home office up. Just ensure the place is suitable to work in and can provide the peace and quiet you need to meet your deadlines.

#3 Maximisation of Space

If you have some space under a large staircase, look to transform it into a home office. Don’t get scared about the cramped space, because with some smart interior designing, you can make it work. Remember how Harry Potter had an entire room under the stairs? Build a low desk and consider some floor seating options, in true Japanese style! If you can make it work, you will get a lot of privacy and can work long hours without disturbing the other family members.

#4 Murphy Desk

Even if space is a real constraint and you cannot find a spare corner in the house, do not give up on your dreams of having your own cute little home office. You can install a Murphy desk on any of the walls of the house. You can even have it attached to a closet. Murphy desks are completely foldable and literally disappear into the wall when folded. It doesn’t take up any floor space. You can keep it folded away and simply pull it down at night when there is less activity in the house. This is the ideal solution to have a home office in a small house.

#5 Get the Equipment

Even with less space, you will need some basic equipment to set your home office up. Depending on how much space you have, get a desk, a chair, a lamp, a few shelves (ideally), and a waste bin. Keep it as minimalistic as possible, but give it a formal look. This will make it look like an office and motivate you to work at home. You can play around with the ideas. For instance, if you are thinking about a Murphy desk, you could get a hanging ceiling lamp installed just above the desk. As you pull out the desk, you can also pull down the light and get your work done. You could also look for furniture that has a double function. An ottoman with a storage compartment can work as a bedroom accessory during the day and you can use it as an office chair when you pull out the desk from the wall.

Do you often stare at the bare corners of your home and feel like something is missing? If you feel that way, it probably is. One of the most ignored places in the house, corners, with the right decor and accessories, can be converted into the most creative places in your home.

The corners of your house are not just for keeping a shoe rack or leaving it empty. A lot can be done to give the silent corners of your home a creative makeover. But it is not necessary to modify each and every corner of your home. Just revise one or two of them and give a new look to your home.

1) L’s The Word: For people who believe less is more, L Shaped Sofas or L-shaped furniture pieces work the best. As Aakanksha says, “I particularly love the ones that have an inbuilt recliner and lying down space. The sofa helps increase and organize seating and also removes the clutter of too many pieces.” And Twinkle agrees – “I personally believe that L-shaped Sofas were brought into existence keeping in mind the need to enhance the corners of a home.” So, if you’re a big believer in organized spaces, L-shaped sofas are perfect for you.

2) Green Somethings: Corners are amazing because they are like art pieces in any room. A really nice way of decorating a corner is putting plants in the corner of your room, play around with table heights and therefore use the verticality of the corner. Plants bring freshness into the room while helping occupy space usually left empty.

3) Game Point: If you are a chess lover, then that overlooked corner is the perfect place to dedicate to your chess board. Place an old fashioned table with a pair of comfortable chairs set up in the corner. Showcase your wooden or stone chess board puzzle on the table. Add a few calming wall paintings and a simple pendant light falling from the ceiling. Another game option can be a cozy carrom setup (if that’s the way you roll.)

4) Make ‘Em Useful: Corners are also utilitarian because of the way they are usually sandwiched between 2 pieces of furniture. The corners can have concealed storages which work as a table on the top.

5) Light It Up: An ideal way of treating a corner is also to have hanging lights in the corner. The ideas is to basically enhance the verticality of the space. The pendant/hanging lights add to the articulation of the corner and can also make a cozy seating for two in an intimate environment.

6) Your Own Reading Nook: Another lovely option that corners offer is to make a space inside a big space. So when you have a big living room, one can make a corner nook with perhaps a small coffee table, a bookcase and a lounge chair with an ottoman and create a nice reading corner while the same can be used as a normal seating when not in use as a personal space.

7) An Open Affair: Add a few open shelves and place small knick-knacks on them. Showcase them in the light of a single overhead spotlight to enhance your corner to the fullest.

Or go the traditional way and place a cabinet in the corner with knick-knacks on top.

8) Refurbish, Reuse & Recycle: While a corner is more than just a space to wedge in that empty shoe rack or forgotten bits of furniture that do not go with anything else, you can add surprising elements in your room with small pieces of furniture. Place a simple bright cloth on them or simply make use of a colorful throw or some cushions and place a lamp lighting the statue and you have a great corner to add to the beauty of your home.

Make use of old furniture pieces and get them repaired and polished. Embellish your old chair with a fancy cushion. Adorn your table with a cheerful and lacy table cloth etc, and add them to a corner and see how it ties the whole room together!

A great example of using old furniture creatively is taking that old center table, adding some bedding and covers to it along with cushions and placing it in a corner of your room for a brand new seating option!

Things to Avoid

The perfect nude lipstick makes your face look fresh and youthful, but a lot of people pick something too light, too opaque, or too beige ..." says makeup artist.

This trick is to tone down the pink of the lips with a warmer or slightly cooler tone, depending on the skin. The right nude is the perfect balance of warm and cold; it shouldn’t be orange but it shouldn’t look too gray or too hot pink either. Here, we present tips straight from the pros, in addition to a variety of options based on your skin tone.

Fair Skin

Taking an extra minute to prep your lips can be the difference between a nude lip that looks pretty and one that looks pasty. Start by layering on a moisturizing balm. Makeup artist said, "I use it under every nude lipstick to condition the mouth and lend a hint of color that prevents washout. It also makes the liner application easier"

Light Skin

Makeup artist Tobi Henney, loves using a cool-toned nude shade like this muted pink bullet by Nars on paler skin tones. "I tend to also look at the natural color of the lip to guide me" she says. "I always want around the same depth of the lip color in my nude lipstick that I am going to apply."

Medium Skin

"Nude lipsticks have to be chosen carefully so as not to wash out your complexion or look too light against your skin tone," says Henney, who keeps Nars's Sheer Lipstick in Cruising in her kit for medium skin tone clients.

Dark Skin

It's not unusual for your top lip to appear darker than the bottom one, says Wilson. To even out the color, he suggests filling in your entire mouth with a soft brown lip pencil and blending a dusty, rose-brown lipstick on top. The end result is a DIY pink-y nude that's perfect for deep complexions

Deep Skin

For deeper skin tones, there’s a bit more range for nudes that are a touch lighter or darker, like deep berry or chocolate mocha," says Martini, who loves Marc Jacobs Beauty New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick in Role Play for dark and deep skin tones. "Deeper skin tones will find many ways to have nudes that complement their skin.
