A guide to Prepare Your Hair before Wig Installation

by Ericka April 20, 2022
written by Ericka

It’s easy to be caught up in the revolving door of buzzy new designs especially for hair, in a world where trends of beauty appear to come and go as frequently as the sun rises and sets. When you consider the amount of stress your hair would have to experience from cutting, dyeing, styling, and more, the idea of trying all of these looks in a short period of time seems ludicrous. That is unless you consider wearing a natural-looking wig.

Lace front wigs are a popular option for women who seek full coverage from ear to ear and a natural hairline. Glue is commonly used to install wigs, although there are a variety of different methods. Sewing, wig grips, and clipping are all viable techniques for putting on a lace front wig without adhesive glue. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages, so we’ve put together this short guide to help you make the best option for your crown.

Preparing your natural hair for your lace front wig is a crucial step in achieving your desired look. Prep your hair differs based on the length, thickness, and texture of your hair, but the goal is for it to be as smooth and flat as possible. Start by hydrating your scalp and hair and making sure your forehead is dry, regardless of the treatment you use. Your lace front will lay better as a result of this.

Here are three typical ways to get your hair ready for a wig:

Braids

Hair can be prep for hd lace wigs with simple braids or straight back cornrows. Braiding can be done on both short and long hair, but it is particularly beneficial for fine and short hair.

1) If your hair feels dry, use a moisturizing lotion as needed.

2) Use a styling gel or cream to smooth the edges and hairline.

3) Divide your hair into four or five portions, paying attention to where you want to part it.

4) Braid each part, twisting loose ends at the ends to bind them.

5) Secure braids with bobby pins in the middle of the back of the head.

Cornrows

Cornrows provide the smoothest surface for the installation of lace frontal, which is especially important if you’re planning a sleek, ferocious wig. It’s also a good option if you have thick, long hair that might stick out too much in a traditional braid.

To create neat, tight braids, you can cornrow your hair yourself or ask for assistance. If the braids are excessively tight, it will put tension on your boundaries.

Twists

Twists take less time to prepare, but hair tends to come out faster. Here are some points on how to make slick twists:

1) Use clips to divide your hair into multiple regions on your head.

2) Unclip one segment of hair and apply a moisturizing lotion to it, gently working it into the hair and stretching it out with your fingers. Carry on in the same manner for each section.

3) Take small sections of hair and twist them hard towards the nape of the neck, dividing them into two portions.

How to properly access your pressure washer pump

by Ericka March 20, 2022
written by Ericka

Pressure pump maintenance is one of the keys to maintaining the durability and life of your power washer. You can maintain your pump by cleaning, draining, and winterizing it. However, you cannot do any of these things if you can’t access the pump. This excerpt focuses on how to take your pressure washer pump apart.

Steps for taking your pressure washer pump apart

Many people avoid working on the pressure washer pump because they feel intimidated by the process of taking it apart. However, it is not as complicated as most assume. Below is are steps for doing this;

Step 1: gather the necessary equipment

The first thing you have to do is gather the required tools for the process. You cannot proceed to the next steps without completing this one. The good thing is that you do not need too many tools for the process. Below are the tools you will need to take apart your pressure washer pump;

  • A flathead mechanical screwdriver to take out the screws and screw them back in
  • Penetrating oil to prevent damage to the pump as you reach for its internal components. The oil also helps with the pump’s lubrication.
  • It would also help if you also had a socket and Allen wrench

When gathering the tools, ensure that they are the right size for the application. For instance, the wrenches should be compatible with the bolts.

Step 2: Disconnecting the hoses

After you have gathered all the tools you need, the next step is to disconnect the hones. You must do this to all the hoses attached to the pressure washers. Additionally, ensure to cut off the machine’s water supply and turn it off.

Step 3: Spraying the penetrating oil

The next step is to spray the penetrating oil on the upper flange areas. It would be wise to target the area where the flange is connected to the engine. This will help make the rest of the process easier.

Step 4: Disconnecting the bolts, screws, and washers

After spraying the oil, you can disconnect the bolts, crews, and washers. You will need a socket wrench for disconnecting the bolts and washers. On the other hand, for removing the screws, the Allen wrench will do the trick. You can pull on the starting cord if you experience challenges pulling out the screws after loosening them. Doing this will move it to a more suitable position for easy removal.

Step 5: Take out the pump

Once you have taken out all the screws, you can easily take out the pump from its position. However, in some cases, it may not be as simple. If this is the case, your flathead screwdriver will come in handy. You can use it to take it out.

Conclusion

Once you have access to your pressure washer pump, you can proceed with your cleaning, repair, or other maintenance steps. These steps will also come in handy when putting the pump back in place. All you have to do is follow the process in reverse. However, make sure not to damage the pump during the process.

TSA PreCheck, CLEAR, or Both? A Guide to Help You Decide

by Ericka October 20, 2021
written by Ericka

If you travel often, you probably daydream about how to make the airport experience quick, easy, and frictionless. Because when it comes to navigating airport security, there can be a lot of unanticipated hiccups—long lines, misplaced IDs and boarding passes, extra security checks—that slow you down.

That’s where expedited screening programs come in.

But knowing which program meets your needs can be tricky. To help, we’ve taken a closer look at the two programs available—TSA PreCheck and CLEAR—their benefits and costs, plus how they work together if you’re interested in joining both.

Here’s what you need to know to make a decision.

What is TSA PreCheck?

TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that allows you to quickly move through airport security. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Once you’ve been approved as a low-risk traveler, you gain access to an expedited security line where you don’t have to remove or separately scan your laptop, liquids, shoes, or jackets.

A five-year membership costs $85 for initial enrollment and is available to all U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. Becoming a member of TSA PreCheck involves a five minute online application followed by a ten minute in-person interview at an enrollment center (such as your local airport), which includes a background check and fingerprinting.

Supplemental reading: Skipping Airport Security Lines Is a Matter of Biometrics

More than 200 domestic airports participate in the program—check to see if your home airport does here—as well as 80 international and domestic airlines. (Note: You need to fly on an airline and via airports that participate to access the PreCheck lane.) Once you’re approved, all you have to do is enter your Known Traveler Number (KTN) when booking a flight.

Note that you are not guaranteed TSA PreCheck for every flight. If you have TSA PreCheck and your boarding pass isn’t marked as such, it’s worth mentioning this at the airline check-in counter to see if the designation can be added to your travel documents. In the future, make sure all of your frequent flyer accounts have your KTN listed and in the appropriate field. This will make booking easier and passing through security lines faster.

DYK? With TripIt Pro, you can find out security wait times—including those for TSA PreCheck lanes—for select airports before you even arrive at the airport. Armed with this intel, you can compare which lane is fastest and head straight there as soon as you arrive curbside. You can also use Interactive Airport Maps to locate amenities near each security checkpoint, like restrooms, restaurants, COVID-19 testing sites, and more.

Many travel credit cards offer complimentary TSA PreCheck membership as a statement credit. Check to see if yours does. Likewise, if you’re interested in joining the program, that perk alone might help you decide which credit card to sign up for.

What is CLEAR?

CLEAR is a registered traveler program that allows members to quickly verify their identities at dedicated security kiosks. Unlike TSA PreCheck, CLEAR is a privately owned program certified by the Department of Homeland Security. Instead of using traditional photo identification documents (such as a driver’s license or passport), CLEAR uses biometrics. Specifically, the program scans your fingerprints and/or the irises of your eyes to verify your identity.

The program replaces the need for a TSA representative to check your boarding pass and photo ID. After your identity is confirmed, a CLEAR Ambassador escorts you directly to the next step of security—the physical and luggage scanning stage.

CLEAR membership runs $179 per year. You can sign up online and then complete your application at an airport kiosk in just a matter of minutes. If you’re flying out of one of CLEAR’s 35+ airports, you can also sign up for the service on-site.

Ready for even more good news? With a TripIt Pro membership, you can try CLEAR on a four month free trial, plus you’ll receive a discounted annual rate of $149.

Can I become a member of both TSA PreCheck and CLEAR?

In short, yes! Since a CLEAR membership expedites the ID-checking part and TSA PreCheck expedites the security line part, you can use the two programs together to make navigating airport security as quick as possible.

Do you need both programs? Well, that’s entirely up to you, but here are a few things to consider:

  • Cost: As a reminder, TSA PreCheck costs $85 for five years (many travel credit cards offer this as statement credit) and CLEAR costs $179 for one year (TripIt Pro members get a discount).
  • Availability: TSA PreCheck is more widely available than CLEAR; 200 airports versus nearly 40 (at the time of publication). That said, CLEAR also helps expedite entry to other venues in the U.S., including sports stadiums and concert venues. Also bear in mind that while an airport has a TSA PreCheck line, it might not always be in service or you might not be selected for expedited screening by your airline. With CLEAR, you always have access to the CLEAR lane. CLEAR has also launched a Health Pass in their app to easily store and access your COVID-19 vaccination information, negative test results, and more.
  • Your home airport: Given the availability of each program, be sure to check if your home (or most frequented) airport(s) offers one or both. One program might be more valuable to you than the other simply based on the likelihood that you’ll get to use it.

While some travelers opt for TSA PreCheck and others for CLEAR, both programs help you more quickly navigate your travel journey. As the travel landscape continues to evolve, you may find one program is a better fit than the other, or that their complementary benefits make your life on the road easier. What matters is choosing the program that suits your travel style best—and makes getting to your destination that much more enjoyable.

New Places to go in Nova Scotia for 2021 and A Chance to Win Nova Scotia Lobster

by Ericka October 20, 2021
written by Ericka

Sponsored by Visit Nova Scotia

While the world was locked down in place for the last year and a half, some people took that opportunity to slow down. But not in Nova Scotia tourism. During the lockdown, Nova Scotia travel businesses took the opportunity to build up new infrastructure, new experiences and new places to go in Nova Scotia!

On August 9th – Canada opened back up to Americans and Nova Scotia was ready to welcome them with new attractions, hotels, and more. During the pandemic I’ve been in close touch with my friends in Halifax and they’ve been keeping me up to date on all of the new happenings – and now I get to share them with you!

Not only do I get to share the new places to go in Nova Scotia in 2021 and beyond, but I get to give away Nova Scotia live lobster! That’s right…I haven’t been able to go to Nova Scotia for a couple of years, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have that incredible, sweet Nova Scotia lobster! So let’s get to the fun stuff first – LOBSTER!

Ohhhh…I need one of these

Enter for your Chance to Win Nova Scotia Lobster

50,000 tons of lobster are hauled from Nova Scotia waters every year and there almost just as many ways to serve it. Lobster my favorite thing to eat in Nova Scotia…in fact, it’s about the only thing I eat there!

I’m giving away Lobster from Nova Scotia that will be delivered to your door…while they are still alive! Talk about FRESH.

I recently did this experience myself this summer and it was so fun – and soooooo delicious. The lobsters were delivered overnight, I got some cooking tips from the Kilted Chef, Alain Bossé, over Zoom, and then I took them to my girlfriend’s apartment where Jules and I made a feast!

How to Enter to Win Nova Scotia Lobster

However, to enter to win – I’m going to send you on a little scavenger hunt to rediscover Nova Scotia! You will need to read this article about the Things to do in Nova Scotia on a Road Trip and then answer the questions in the contest to be entered to win.

What You Can Win

I suggest you share this lobster contest with all of your friends…after all, if they win, you’ll be invited over for lobster dinner…or at least you better be invited over if they are any kind of friend!

New Places to go in Nova Scotia for 2021

I also wanted to share with you a few of the cool new experiences and lodging that Nova Scotia has been working on during the pandemic. This is a chance to rediscover Nova Scotia and I can’t wait to get back there and try out some of these!

Hit the Trail – Taste Nova Scotia’s New Food and Drink Trails

Get your passport out and wear something with a comfortable waistband! Nova Scotia has 3 different food/drink trails where you can overindulge in the wonderful culinary scene.

The Nova Scotia Good Cheer Trail Canada’s first winery, craft brewery, cidery and distillery trail, is a toast to the craftsmanship and creativity of the numerous wineries, craft breweries, cideries and distilleries.

In addition to the Good Cheer Trail, there is also a Chowder Trail and Lobster Trail.

A New Halifax National Historic Site

The newest addition to Nova Scotia’s National Historic Sites family is Georges Island. It’s located in the heart of Halifax harbor, the place the Mi’kmaq called Kjipuktuk or “The Great Harbour.”

You can get to the island by shuttle boat or kayaking (yes please!). Once there discover how this small island and its fortifications played a large role as a prison, as an internment camp for Acadians, in the development of Nova Scotia and in the overall defense of Canada.

I loved the Halifax Citadel when I visited Nova Scotia – so I can imagine this new Historic Site is also incredible. Plus it has some great views of the city.

More Information on Georges Island

Peggy’s Cove – An Old Favorite Gets a New Look

A short (and scenic) drive from Halifax you’ll come to Peggy’s Cove, a small fishing village with a well-known lighthouse. It’s probably one of the most visited sights in Nova Scotia…and it’s worth it! Built in 1915, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse still keeps watch over surging ocean waves and working lobster boats.

No longer will you have to amble over giant rocks worn smooth by the sea and to get to the lighthouse! A new viewing deck is being built this year that will be fully accessible and safe. The new design looks beautiful!

This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. And Nova Scotia has over 150 more! See below how you can even sleep in some.

More Information: Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse – BTW – you can have a personal lobster feast out by Peggy’s Point too!

I have written a lot about places to go in Nova Scotia – it’s one of my favorite places I’ve traveled. You can see my Things to do in Nova Scotia as well as a one day itinerary to Cape Breton here.


A 6th UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark tells the story of the coming together of the supercontinent Pangea 300 million years ago and it’s ripping apart 100 million years later like nowhere else on Earth. The Bay of Fundy is one of the coolest things to experience in North America in my opinion – so I’m thrilled that it got this designation!

The Global Geopark includes a 165 km drive along the stunning Bay of Fundy shoreline from Debert to Apple River. There are numerous attractions and operations located within the Geopark such as hiking trails, provincial parks, community and provincial museums, lighthouses, beaches. Plus, there are many operators offering tours there such as kayaking, hiking, boat trips, and horseback riding. Or simply explore the geological significance of the region and its connections to local communities, the rich Mi’kmaq culture, and natural surroundings of this amazing area.

Nova Scotia is home to many delicious and innovative food producers and shops that offer amazing and unique culinary treats that are sure to delight the foodie in us all.

You can get cozy by the fire as a culinary artist creates five outstanding farm-to-table courses before your eyes, featuring sweet, savory and smoky maple flavors. Plus a maple inspired cocktail!

With the help of the distiller, create and bottle a gin or vodka that’s completely your own!

And it doesn’t stop there, you also get German-inspired local delicacies, paired with Nova Scotia cocktails, as you perfect your craft. Plus, you can stay overnight at their ocean view chalet.

Dining on the Ocean Floor

One of my favorite things about Nova Scotia is the giant tide changes of the Bay of Fundy – it’s a sight to see. Now you can get an ‘close to the ground’ experience by dining on the ocean floor at low tide!

Photo courtesy of Visit Nova Scotia

Begin by learning about the wild edibles of Nova Scotia, followed by a lunchtime seafood feast where you meet the Chef and enjoy beer and wine pairings. Then enjoy a guided tour of the ocean floor, then take a seat at a dining table with a view of the incoming tide for an intimate 3- course dinner on the ocean floor; all followed by an ocean floor campfire.

Don’t Miss the Lobster Crawl

February just happens to be the peak of the lobster season along the entire South Shore of Nova Scotia; from Barrington (the Lobster Capital of Canada) to Peggy’s Cove and every port in between – you can expect all kinds of lobster celebrations as part of the Lobster Crawl Festival.

Not only can you eat inordinate amounts of Nova Scotia Lobster in February, there are also a number of lobster experiences you can have during the festival too. From lobster snow sculptures to lobster beer, cooking classes to kitchen parties, wine pairings to art shows, fishery tours to “lobster” wool.

This festival is definitely on my radar now that we can get into Canada again!

Every year, between 20 million and 50 million people are injured or disabled as the result of a car accident. While the vast majority of accidents leave neither party seriously injured or in need of medical care, when forceful collisions occur, the injuries can be devastating and life-altering.

These are the five most common injuries sustained in car accidents. These injuries are not always immediately apparent, and many can take several days to appear following a collision. However, when they do, they can severely impact your ability to perform daily tasks.

Head Injuries

Head injuries are not only among the most common injuries sustained in an accident; they are also among the hardest to spot. They may not appear until days, or weeks, after an accident. A dull headache could appear days later that could be symptomatic of a brain injury sustained in a collision.

Oftentimes, these injuries are caused by the driver’s head hitting the steering wheel. However, they can also occur in passengers whose heads have collided with a side window. Brain and head injuries range from mild concussions to severe brain trauma that can leave lasting damage. If you suspect you or a loved one is suffering from a brain or head injury following an accident, contact a medical professional immediately, or research how to treat a concussion at home.

Neck Injuries

The force of an impact on the back or side of the vehicle can often jar the neck and spine. The movement of the head snapping backwards, or forwards places a large amount of stress on the neck muscles, leaving damage to the spinal cord, vertebrae, ligaments and/or spinal discs.

Burns

One of the most terrifying outcomes of a car accident is a victim being trapped in a burning car. While rare, when this occurs, the injuries sustained are serious and can be fatal.

Burns can leave a victim severely disfigured and in need of plastic surgery. In severe burn cases, the muscles and bones under the skin are damaged, leaving the victim’s quality of life and mobility severely diminished. For this reason, burns are among the most devastating injuries sustained in an accident.

Chest and Abdominal Injuries

In less severe crashes, the chest and abdominal injuries might be limited to abrasions and bruises. However, in forceful collisions, the impact with the steering wheel or seatbelt can cause ribs to break, causing significant internal injuries that can, in extreme cases, become life-threatening.

Psychological Injuries

Not all injuries are physical. Psychological injuries can be just as debilitating and life-altering as physical ones. Victims of car accidents can develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The National Center for PTSD estimates that the condition affects around 9% of motor vehicle accident survivors.

The survivor may need psychological treatment before they can get behind the wheel again, they may develop depression or anxiety. Other times, psychological illnesses like depression are brought on as a result of psychical injuries sustained. The psychological impact of car accidents should not be overlooked when survivors are seeking treatment for their injuries and should be carefully considered in any road to recovery.
