Beauty Tips & Tricks : Legs and Feet Care tips
  • Our beauty and makeup tips are not only for your skin care but can also give you tips on the whole body care. Loveliest legs are smooth and free from superfluous hair. To beautify your legs here is an exercise. Stand with bare feet and raise yourself up on tiptoe stay in this position while you count ten. Now gently lower your feet. Do this ten times. Apply a little talcum powder on your legs and massage.
  • If you like to wear dresses then you should keep your legs free from hair. Wax or shave them. At bath time after applying soap to your legs rub pumice stone on them in circular motion. This will reduce the growth of hair considerably and make them soft and smooth. Apply vanishing cream on them whenever you are going out to give them a matt effect.
  • Patches of dry, flaky skin afflict the legs of many women each winter. Here is a good remedy for combating dryness. Wash them with warm water. Shake off the excess water and apply a good coating of honey to the legs. Leave on your half an hour and then wash off. Pat dry. Every night apply a thin coating of olive oil mixed with equal quantity of Lanolin, but before using warm them over hot water. Do this regularly in the winter. Rotate the feet when you are sitting to strengthen the ankles Squat instead of bending, this way, you will streamline the shape of your legs.
  • If the feet become tender, they should be bathed in warm salt water or water in which a little alum has been dissolved.
  • Following exposure to cold and moisture, a warm foot bath with soap, and water, followed by a vigorous massage for at least 5 minutes and a change to dry shoes are of extreme importance in the prevention of chilblains, trench foot and frostbite.

  • A good remedy for puffy and swollen feet is to swathe them for about half an hour in small napkins ringed out in ice cold water and prop them higher than your head for about 10 minutes. Also go about barefoot or in open sandals for a day.
  • A weekly after-the-bath massage with any oil will keep the skin of the feet soft and improve the blood circulation. Spray, burning or tired feet with ice cold eau-de-cologne for a very cooling effect. This lowers the skin surface temperature and also relieves swelling.
  • Corns are caused by shoes that are too tight. They are due to constant friction.
  • If you develop a hard com, try to nab it while it is too young to be stubborn. For three nights together soak the feet in warm water for 15 minutes, then apply a liquid corn remover or a com salve to it. Now wear a com plaster on the corn over piece of cotton. This treatment should enable you to lift out the com without any trouble.
  • Calluses are thick scaly masses of skin caused by ill-fitting shoes or general foot strain. In early stages, it can be cured by tubing over it, a pumic stone in a rotatory motion at bath time. Also a footbath of hot water and baking soda will sometimes help these hardened areas. After 15 minutes, wipe the callus with a rough towel and then rub in 1 teaspoon of vinegar with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Do this daily. To relieve itching, rub on them either vinegar or lime juice.

    Choosing Barstool & Table Height: Buying Proportional and Comfortable Bar Furniture

    Choosing Barstool & Table Height: Buying Proportional and Comfortable Bar Furniture

    Choosing Barstool & Table Height: Buying Proportional and Comfortable Bar FurnitureWhether you are setting up a home bar, casual dining set, or are looking for seating for a countertop, the stools that you choose will become one of your most important home furnishings. To help you purchase the stools that meet your needs, we have compiled this guide to explain how to decide the stools that work best for you.
    NOTE: Heights for stool seats are measured differently by each manufacturer. Since there is no industry standard, take the following helpful tips as a general guide that may not apply to your specific product.

    First Things First...Measure Your Existing Counter or Table
    In order to determine what type of barstool or counterstool you need, measure the table or counter that they are intended to be used with. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the table. It is recommended to have a 10-12 inch difference between your table top and seat (Ex: a 42" table top works best with a 30" stool.)
    It is also important to measure the overhang of the table. Tables with a wide overhang may need a certain height stool. For example, it might seem best to purchase a 32" stool for a 42" table, but if there was an overhang of 6", it might be more comfortable to use a 30" stool instead. Once you have these measurements, you are ready to decide what height or type of stool you need.

    Get To Know the Bar Stool Lingo
    Chairs and bar stools, like other furniture, have industry-specific terms that you'll often see when browsing our site. Knowing what types of stools will match your table or counter height is important before purchasing the perfect product:
  • Dining Height: Dining Tables are typically around 28"-30" high. Therefore, the dining chairs that match these tables usually have a seat that is 16"-18" high. However, you can also use shorter backless or swivel stools that measure 18" high.
  • Counter Height: Counter Height Tables are typically around 35"-36" high. Therefore, the counter stools that match these tables are usually in the 24-26" Range. Counter Height furniture is typically used in casual dining setups, pub sets, and home kitchen islands.
  • Bar Height: Bar Height Tables are typically around 40"-42" in height. Correspondingly, the bar stools are in the 28"-30" range. Bar Height furniture is most commonly used with home bars but can also be found in some pub sets and counter set ups.
  • Extra-Tall or "Spectator" Height: Extra-Tall tables and bars are typically around 45"-48" high. Therefore, the tall barstools that match these tables are usually in the 32-34" Range. Spectator Height furniture is typically used in commercial settings such as bowling alleys, pool halls, restaurants, and home bars.

    Custom Barstools: Furniture Made Your Way
    Not every bar and counter will fall within these mentioned standard height ranges, and your own comfort and preferences may not match these previous examples. Luckily, there are options. We carry a number of custom height barstools with a seat heights ranging from 24" to 30" and every measurement in between. We also carry chairs and small stools with a seat height as low as 18"-23" for lower tables. Remember the recommended distance is 10-12 inches from the top of the table to the seat height.
    Every person is different and therefore what works best will be different. It is important to think about what will meet your individual needs. A taller person may feel more comfortable with a bar height set. A smaller person may select a 32" stool for a 42" bar. The most important thing that you can do before making your purchase is to measure out the sizes of what you would be getting and make sure that it works for you.

    Selecting the Perfect Number of Barstools
    The last question many people ask is how many stools are enough? Knowing how much room to give each stool is important to creating the perfect bar or table environment. Here are some tips of the trade to allow for enough room in between stools:
  • Stools ~16"-18" wide: allow for 21"-22" of space
  • Stools ~19"-22" wide: allow for 24"-25" of space
  • Swivel Stools or Stools with Arms: allow for even more space
