The Best Home Shopping Tips

Posted on October 26, 2022 by Kroita

It’s often difficult to know exactly what to get and what to buy when it comes to designing your home. When social media is awash with influencers posting their home decor on instagram, the pressure to curate a welcoming and relaxing space that reflects your personality can be overwhelming. However, there are some small changes you can make to your shopping strategy that might make decorating your home less stressful- even fun!

1. Plan out your space

If you print out the floorplans of your home, you can sketch out where you want your furniture to go. This will help you conceptualise a space that is tailored to your needs- without moving all of your furniture around before you know where it will go! This will help you to determine how much you can buy- before you buy ornaments and realise they don’t fit

2. Curate Your Themes

Nothing is worse than a space that doesn’t know the vibe it wants to be! For example, if you have fitted a modern, industrial kitchen, farmhouse or vintage style ornaments and homeware may cloud the vision of your space. Pay attention to what you have picked in terms of wallpaper or appliances, so you can choose accessories to compliment your home, rather than clash with it.

3. Work With Your Budget Room to Room

Many people fall into the trap of buying one expensive item to decorate one room of the house, and this means the other rooms are neglected and are often left a bit empty looking. If you set out a clear budget for each room and stick to it, this will mean that your home looks more cohesive as a result.

4. Know Your Fabrics

The fabrics on your soft furnishings are such an important part of what makes …

Key things you need to know before getting a Tragus Piercing

Posted on October 26, 2022 by Kroita

In recent years, there has been a huge rise in popularity of alternative piercings. From daith to tragus piercings, there’s nothing more on trend at the moment than a carefully curated ear stack. Tragus piercings are one of those that has become extremely popular, so we have put together some key points that you may want to consider before you bejewel your tragus, based on commonly asked questions.

Can you wear a regular earring in your tragus?

Generally speaking, you technically can wear a regular earring in your tragus once your piercing has fully healed and is ready for you to change, but it’s not recommended. Like daith earrings, tragus piercings tend to be a different size to regular earrings that are meant for your lobe, with a typical tragus earring being 16 gauge compared to a lobe earring’s 18 gauge. This size difference means that if you put a lobe earring in your tragus piercing, the hole is likely to shrink to the size of the smaller earring. It’s then extremely difficult and painful to go back to a specialist tragus earring at a later date.

Do tragus piercings help with anxiety?

There is some evidence to support the claim that tragus piercings help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and other ailments such as migraines, depression and even epilepsy. This comes down to the cause of the ailment in the first place. A common cause of migraines and anxiety is malfunctions in the vagus nerve – a long nerve that extends throughout the outer ear area – piercing the tragus is often an alternative way to treat symptoms since the piercing stimulates the nerve.

Is a hoop or a stud better for a tragus piercing?

Usually, its best practice to pierce a tragus with a stud and most professional …
