Nail Technology:..A career path that should not be over looked

Thanks for visiting!

 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,  job positions for nail technology employees such as nail technicians and manicurist/pedicurists will grow this year by 31%. 

As I have mentioned in some other articles, unlike a lot of other industries in the world right now, the beauty industry is enjoying huge growth thanks to the growing demand for beauty services.  In the US, despite the huge amount of jobs losses, beauty professionals are experiencing increased earning potential, greater job security and more employment options.

It is my experience that a lot of beauty therapists don’t offer nail technology services.  There are a number of reasons for this, not the least being, that there is more money to be made in other services which are less time consuming.

I have found a remedy for the time problem.   Having been in the beauty industry for just on 30 years,  I have had a lot of time to seek out a nail system which is both quicker and easier to do.  Not only that, this system, which I use, and have for at least eight years,  does not have the offensive and sometime overpowering smell that the traditional acrylic system has.  I have used every type of system available from porcelain nails, which not a lot of technicians would have even heard of , silk nails, fiberglass nails, gel nails, acrylic and so forth.  This system uses acrylic powder but resin is used which means that the shaping and filing time is much less.  The job is completed much quicker and I can say with confidence  nails are a lot more resilient.  Further, the need for fills are between four and seven weeks.

As the current demand for these services increase, the business-savvy personal appearance professionals, are returning to beauty schools for nail technology programs. It seems like a logical career step because these programs are relatively short-term, but adding nail care to your repertoire can have long-lasting effects on your career prospects.

 

Whether you’re already in the beauty industry, or you’re an artistic individual looking for a fun and the potential for career success, think about enrolling in a nail technology program. It makes sense beauty is one of today’s fastest growing fields, but manicures and pedicures are topping the list of consumer demand.

Give the people what they want and benefit from working in a growing field.

Kundalini Heart Chakra (Sahaja Yoga Experiment Truth) Shri Mataji Spirit Atma Anahata

Posted on January 23rd, 2012 by admin

Heart Energy Center – Anahata Chakra (Seat of the Spirit or Atma). Know Thyself, the True Self, the Pure Spirit, through Kundalini Awakening – Self Realization. (Experiment with Truth) with HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation.

‘Experiment with Truth’ (a 10 part series) begins with the experience of Self Realization, Kundalini awakening, Second Birth, and is a practical guide for discovering the truth within yourself. ‘Experiment with Truth’ is a course with does not concern its self with one particular philosophy, or religion, but which embraces all religions, and philosophies. Whatever your are doing right now, sit down and relax give yourself time for ‘Experiment with Truth’. A course in 10 parts inspired by the teaching of HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

Experiment with Truth: Part 5 (Heart Chakra – Seat of the Spirit: True Self)
We experiment with our True Self. It is the Self which is the reflection in your Heart of the absolute beauty of the source of life. It is the reflection of the universal love and innocence in every person. Discover the beauty of the Spirit! Air is the element of the Heart chakra. Through deep and relaxed breathing, the air element can help relief tensions at the heart level. The true Self is the pure Spirit within us. The spirit is the source of peace and joy.

Part 1: Prepare for Kundalini Awakening (Self Realization – Second Birth)

Part 2: Get your Self Realisation (Kundalini Awakening – Second Birth)

Part 3: Mooladhara, Support of the Root (Center of Wisdom and Innocence)

Part 4: Guru Principle (Key to Self Mastery)

Part 5: Heart Chakra, Seat of the Spirit (Love, Inner Security)

Part 6: Vishuddhi Chakra, Key to Detachment (Witness State)

Part 7: Agnya Chakra, Door of Forgiveness (Mental Silence)

Part 8: Sahasrara Chakra: (Kingdom of God, Union with the Divine)

Anahata Chakra (Heart Energy Center)

The Twelve Petalled Energy Center is called the Heart Chakra, and is placed behind the sternum bone in the spinal cord. This center corresponds to our cardiac plexus, which produces antibodies in infants until the age of twelve. The Heart chakra controls breathing by regulating the functioning of the heart and lungs.

When the kundalini pierces this center, we become an extremely confident, secure, morally responsible and emotionally balanced personality. Such a person is benevolent and loves humanity without any self interest involved, and is dear to all.

Within the Heart chakra resides the Self: the spirit, or atma. The spirit manifests when our heart is open, at which point we feel the pure joy of existence and the meaning and purpose of our place in creation. The quality of the Heart chakra is pure, unconditional love.

“The word “Sahaja” (Saha + ja) means born with you or inborn. Whatever is inborn manifests without any effort.” (H.H. Shri Mataji – Sahaja Yoga – An Unique Discovery)

Log Cabin – How to build foundation and flooring?

Posted on January 23rd, 2012 by admin

http://GoRambling.com

Discover more free ideas at my website today :)

My wife and I are planning on building a vertical log cabin, often referred to as a stockade style log cabin. Here are some pictures to give you an idea. Here’s one…here’s another, and here you go.

Anyway we’ll be moving to Alaska, probably near the Kenai Peninsula or Matanuska Valley. Of course we’re going to try and avoid permafrost, but who knows exactly what kind of land we’ll buy.

Our vertical log cabin in Alaska will be constructed on concrete posts that’ll be poured into Sonotubes that are buried below the frost line (probably around 40 to 50 inches underground).

And then the posts will come up about 18 inches into the air…at which point we’ll begin the cabin. So yes, the cabin will be raised about 18 inches off the ground.

Anyway, I have no experience to build anything of this magnitude, but this doesn’t scare me. My wife and I look forward to the challenge. So needless to say, I have a lot of questions, lots more research to do, and plenty of planning that awaits us.

I’m posting this video to present my plan for the concrete posts and the insulated floor that will sit atop these 10 concrete posts.

First, here is my rough sketch for our small vertical log cabin. It’s 10 feet by 35 feet. I’ve kind of modeled it after an RV, so I call it our RV cabin. It seems like it’ll be a nice comfortable cabin that will serve us well. And it seems like it’ll be somewhat easier to build than other plans.

Anyway, I’ll make another video later on and go over the interior and how everything will be laid out.

Okay…so here is my plan for the concrete posts and the insulated cabin floor.

1)The grass (or the ground). We’ll start by clearing the ground and marking off the perimeter of the cabin, making sure the 90 degree angles are correct.

2)We’ll dig our holes for the concrete posts and fill the bottoms with about 6 to 12 inches of gravel.

3)Then we’ll insert our Bigfoot footing that has

4)…the 12 to 18 inch diameter cardboard Sonotube, and then will fill them both with concrete.

5)We’ll make sure to insert 3 rebar bars before the pouring. What size rebar is best? Thoughts?

6)The sill bolt will go into the Sonotube before pouring and the bolt will stick out about 6-12 inches.

So after we pour the concrete, we go on to…

7)This is the part I’m a little unsure about it. Should we put down some kind of thick plastic sheeting that will be directly in contact with the elements, or should we apply some kind of coating to #8, the bottom subfloor)? Would polyurethane work?

8)So the bottom subfloor will be hooked onto the sill bolts. I’m guessing we should drill a hole in the bottom subfloor sheet of wood, and then just hook the board to all of the sill bolts. Right?

9)This sill log will be a 3-sided log (here’s a picture) And we’ll mill this sill log with an Alaskan saw mill…which is an attachment to a chainsaw.

10)So here we’ll put in the floor joists by attaching them to the sill log by means of a gain and tenon fit. And then we’ll put in the insulation.

11)Here we’ll nail on the top subfloor. Should we put any kind of coating on this? Polyurethane?

So after we erect the vertical logs complete with the roof, we’ll add #12, the carpet.

Okay? So what do you think? Please don’t be shy about your critique! I can handle constructive criticisms! Thanks a lot and please leave a comment if you have any thoughts about our plan.

Thanks!

Basic Intro to Foils – Nail Tutorial

Posted on January 18th, 2012 by admin

Title pretty much says it all.
I purchased my foils and adhesive from dollarnailart.com
If you have any questions please leave a comment below and i’ll answer it there or up here.

Q: How do you remove foils?
A: You can remove them just like regular nail polish. Because the foil itself is very thin it is not difficult to remove with nail polish remover.

Q: Does it chip off or just fall off all together?
A: It does not fall off in one piece like a fake nail might. Because the foil is so thin, I find that it gets dented and scratched and chipped. I would not personally trust it to stay in mint condition for more than a day or two.

Q: How long should you wait for the glue to dry?
A: Depending on how thick I apply the glue, I usually find that I wait between one and two minutes. But this one really is more about trial and error. I do prefer to wait a bit longer than shorter b/c when I don’t wait enough the foil tends to peel the glue off of my nail and I end up having to re-apply the glue (as seen on nail #2)

Q: Is there any type of topcoat that wouldn’t make it crinkle or will that always happen?
A: I believe that it will always happen. However I believe that some foils are sold in sets and come with a particular top coat specifically for use with foils. Because I have not tried them, I can not comment on the results you get with them.
However Dollface22772 also has a video up on the foils she purchased from transdesign.com and hers came in a kit with a top coat. I believe her foils became dull and also crinkled as a result of the top coat.
In my video I simply used a base coat. I think any non-fast drying clear polish should work as a top coat.
I did not experience any dulling of the foil with the polish I used in my tutorial.

Q: Is the glue some sort of special glue for nails? I mean by putting it on yr naturals nails u? dont risk to ruin them?
A: It’s a special glue for foiling your nails. it’s not the same glue that you use to apply false nails. It does not damage your nails at all. It seems sort of like regular white glue (and smells that way too) but obviously isn’t because when it dries it remains tacky on the surface, whereas white glue gets that dry film on the top of it.
I suspect that it’s very similar to the craft glue that’s used to adhere gold leaf to surfaces as that is essentially the same process as foiling your nails. (But I’m not sure. its’ just a guess. Possibly this one is safer since it is coming in contact with your nail and possibly skin)

You can also check out Dollface22772′s foiling video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Dollface22772#p/search/0/nxazmYu_nhE

thanks for watching!
Hope this helps some of you who are thinking of trying out nail foils!
