On Tour: Israel

While history, politics and religion are a few keywords that have become the main topic of conversation involving Israel, there’s another focus that the nation has geared up for – Israel tourism. Due to a major growth of cycling tourism in the country located in Western Asia, the government has recently invested 30 million dollars in promoting the national culture of biking.

Israel is now flowing with trails, tours and bike sharing programs, including the holiest “Biking the Path of Jesus” tours. We were recently able to grasp a taste of Israel tourism, starting off with the bike trails.

Chief mountain bike guide, Nimi Cohen, was the escort on a week-long unforgettable trek, experiencing the magic of Israel on two wheels. Originally from Israel, Cohen has been mountain biking for 20 years. Starting on the more extreme side of mountain biking in downhill and free-ride, after injury, Cohen is now a mountain and marathon racer; he is the epitome of expert.

To Cohen, life is about the Israeli single-track experience (single-track describes a narrow trail that is approximately the width of the bike). Cohen also runs a mountain biking school – named Mountain Goat, meaning to have incredible balance on the narrowest of paths – where he guides others through trips and clinics. (For more information, please visit HERE or contact Nimi Cohen directly at nimroditi@gmail.com.)

“The Judean Hills, the Negev desert, Ramon Crater, the Arava Plains, and Eilat mountains.” These areas are all locations rideable 365 days a year. During the Israeli winter and spring, between October and April, they offer a great opportunity for a full-day epic ride, when the rest of the world (and the center and north of Israel) is covered in mud and snow,” explains Cohen. “Not to be afraid of trying new s**t… new stuff, but to do it moderately and slowly,” he shares some advice to new riders. He also recommends that bikers “ride in different terrains, as diverse terrains as you can get. You will become a complete and a whole rider.”

Bike Trails in Israel

Old Jaffa – Perfect for a night ride when visiting Tel Aviv. Bike riders can enjoy the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Old Jaffa.

Galilee – These trails connect to the Holy Land and a number of religious and historical sites. Tourists can enjoy magnificent views and some technical flowing single-track riding along the Sea of Galilee.

Mount Carmel – Coastal mountain range on the Mediterranean Sea, about 24 miles long.

Ayalon National Park (Canada Park) – Located in the Judean Plain, this is a more communal and popular trail. Expect to see many others enjoying this all mountain loop.

Adulam – Kanim – Single-track located in the Tuscany of Israel. This is a seemingly endless, smooth flowing trail about 25 minutes southwest of Jerusalem.

Old City Jerusalem – Another stunning trail to ride along at night time.Sugar Route – This is a 17-mile bike trail linking Jerusalem to Jerico.

Sde Boker – The Halukim Wadi single-track, this is the center for astonishing desert biking.Ramon Crater – A panoramic ride along the cliff of these geological phenomena.

Shayarot Cliffs – Beautiful, all-mountain technical ride, near the Arava Valley.

Timna Park – Manmade single-track ride at the site of the ancient copper mines, which is now a geological park.

Eilat Beach – Once a tiny kibbutz, Eilat is currently a center for tourism and bike riding. Trails surrounded by a view of poetic red mountains and deep blue sea. Tourists can find rough desert all-mountain and downhill trails starting high up and ending at sea level.

Located near the Arava Valley, Kibbutz Samar offers the unique and ultimate experience of sleeping and biking in the desert at a spot called Samar Bike. Kibbutz is a communal settlement in Israel, typically a farm. During the visit, we met one of the creators of Samar Bike, Yair Sela. “We want to live in a place that we live as we want to live,”he comments on being a part of Kibbutz Samar.

Along the way, we also met Faran Zeira, whose parents founded Neot Semadar 25 years ago when she was only two years old. Even though she was only a young girl, Zeira (born in Jerusalem) affirms that she chose to be a part of the kibbutz.

“Kibbutz is a kind of community of people choosing to leave the city together, sharing things less than having things to own privately. This kibbutz is a bit different, the main issue here is the interest of learning… learning how to share, how to live together. Learning how not to push things aside, but how to deal with them,” says Zeira. “You chose to be here, it’s family, 150 people living here. It’s really intimate. If people don’t have an interest, they don’t stay.”

Kibbutz living may be far from the Israeli city life, but one thing is certain: both share the passion of riding. Ross Belfer, an account supervisor at WEILL – a public relations and marketing company in travel and tourism – is a Tel Aviv local, who knows where all the cool spots are. Belfer shares his insider-look into the city life, “Tel Aviv is surely a city of the ‘now,’ with new bars, restaurants, galleries and creative hangout spots popping up at rapid speeds. The best means to explore Tel Aviv is through the perspective of a local who best knows the city, whether it’d be the top spot for late night bites or simply a quiet and serene look-out point in Jaffa, secluded from and unknown by tourists.”

When in Israel, why not experience thrilling Israeli city life while on two wheels? Another huge part of Israel tourism is its constantly adapting and evolving cuisine. For first-timers, Belfer suggests checking out Eager Tourist, a hyperlocal travel concierge which arranges tailor-made experiences in Tel Aviv within the realms of art, music, nightlife, architecture, bike routes and beyond.

Slave Play

Leave a reply

By Krish Narsinghani

As of late, 360 Magazine joined Center Theatre Group’s grand post-pandemic reopening of LA’s Mark Taper Forum. What better way to kickoff the return of the arts than with the highly acclaimed drama, Slave Play. Featuring moments of explicit content, the play has sparked controversy amongst the theater community. The diverse seven hundred or so person crowd watched as the playwright, Jeremy O. Harris, primed the show sharing how he started his journey in LA as an actor, and how his first finished work at Yale is currently being watched across the nation. This Broadway hit has planted itself in Downtown Los Angeles and is here to stay, stirring heads in the entertainment space as the city continues to expand in theatricals.

Guests experiencing the play for the first time were quickly drawn in with the opening scene set on a plantation field. To have a thickening plot is an understatement. Slave Play is a must-watch for everyone of all colors and backgrounds. A perfect release during Black History Month, this art can be used for pleasure or as an educational tool to celebrate and learn about ones Blackness in a relationship. Overall, the acting and curves in the storyline had the crowd at the edge of their seat and left us in awe. The minimal stage production and use of lighting surprisingly didn’t hinder the story and allowed the acting to shine through. The intimate theater actually improved the atmosphere where attendees could better hear and witness the grit and raw emotions of the leads, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy and Paul Alexander Nolan, without the need for traditional smoke and mirrors. The two played an interracial couple that expressed a wife’s frustration with viewpoints I’d never heard. The profanity did make me feel uncomfortable at times, but it’s needed to fully encapsulate one within the character conflict plus it pushes the script to feel more alive. It’s interesting how subtle some of the dialogue is between characters and still have fans pondering days later. The play is already a hot topic of pop culture conversations amongst Angelenos and it’s only the beginning.

A handful of celebrities attended the opening night including Tracee Ellis Ross, Mara Brock Akil, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Logan Browning, Ashley Blaine Featherson, Samira Wiley, Ashley Park, Sofia Boutella, Patrick Fabian, Wade Allain-Marcus and Malia Obama. The evening finished with a standing ovation and a toast with the Taper team. Slave Play is refreshing in taste and is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys progressive media in general.

More About Slave Play

It’s the most Tony Award®-nominated play in history. It stunned off-Broadway. Then it shocked Broadway. Now, Jeremy O. Harris, “a major new voice in the American theater” (Chicago Tribune), brings his “raw, revelatory, and revolutionary play” (The Daily Beast) to the Taper, in the same production that roiled New York. Directed by two-time NAACP and Obie Award® winner Robert O’Hara, Slave Play is “one of the best and most provocative new works to show up in years” (The New York Times).

At the MacGregor Plantation, nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. It’s an antebellum fever-dream as three interracial couples converge to rip open history at the intersection of race, love, and sexuality in 21st-century America. It’s a world where the sex is as raw as the emotions, and the twists as salacious as the truth. Don’t dare shy away from this production that “reimagines the possibilities of what theatre can give us” (The New York Times).

About Jeremy O. Harris

Full-length plays include: Slave Play (Broadway, New York Theatre Workshop, NYT Critics Pick, Winner of the 2018 Kennedy Center Rosa Parks Playwriting Award, the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award, and The Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences), DADDY (Vineyard Theatre/The New Group, Almeida Theatre). In 2018, Jeremy co-wrote A24’s film Zola with director Janicza Bravo. He is the 11th recipient of the Vineyard Theatre’s Paula Vogel Playwrighting Award, a 2016 MacDowell Colony Fellow, an Orchard Project Greenhouse artist, a resident playwright with Colt Coeur, and is under commission from Lincoln Center Theater and Playwrights Horizons. Jeremy is a graduate of the Yale MFA Playwrighting Program. Jeremy is currently developing a pilot with A24 for HBO.

Wisdome LA: Immersive Art Park

Leave a reply

Wisdome LA, the city’s first and largest immersive art & music dome park, is back with another exhilarating experience. This free form “art battle” took place at an abstract venue tucked away in the Arts District of Los Angeles. The rules were simple – a group of twelve eclectic artists painted it out till the twenty-minute time period came to an end.

Initial thoughts walking into this dome shaped arena were perplexing. Futons were placed circling the locale for attendees to lounge along with two different stands for guests to purchase snacks and cocktails. In the center of the dome were twelve easels with the paint canvas displaying each individual artist’s name.

As the art battle commenced, the confusion of the crowd grew as they patiently watched these talented artists construct their masterpieces in twenty minutes. Viewers were doubtful at first on how well these paintings would turn out, but proven wrong as the timer winded down. Towards the end of the clock, all artisans had stunning finished pieces.

As the contest comes to culmination, an artist from Chicago, JUJU, took the trophy home as the medalist of this showdown. Wisdome LA is the place to be if you are looking for an enveloping and tranquil experience. Wisdome LA Co-Founder Stephen Powers says, “Wisdome LA’s key concept and main objective is to offer that virtual reality experience without goggles.” To be updated on future festivities refer to their website Wisdome.LA.

The LA Art Show is Back

Leave a reply

By Yash Thadani, Krish Narsinghani

Los Angeles’ longest-running art show returned Wednesday evening, January 23rd. The exhibition was held at the Los Angeles Convention center in the heart of Downtown LA. Immediately upon entering the venue, patrons were presented with a red carpet walkway leading to the south hall ballroom that featured work from numerous artists from around the world. Installations from Takashi Murakami to Banksy were all at arm’s-length available to purchase.

Venturing off to the back area of the hall guests were greeted by various vendors from DogHAUS to BuzzPop sampling their products. The event also had countless stands offering premium open bar services for the attendees. In addition, there was a lounge with embellished furniture and two champagne bars for VIP attendees.

This 2022 exposition has also integrated cutting-edge forms of digital media such as NFTs to create a depiction of emotional and alluring experience for the audience. Johnny “KMNDZ” was one of the many artists breaking barriers of digital art with a collection of nearly 900 exclusive NFTs that premiered at the LA Art Show.

A crowd favorite was a portrayal of The Joker and Batman in a boxing ring. In true artistic irony, Batman was beaten and confused with The Joker standing over him being the clear winner. It was a distasteful paradox showing that bad guys sometimes do end up winning.

To top it off, the Off-White model and notably recognized international actress Kaia Gerber was the official host of the 2022 premiere party. As one of the largest international art fairs in the U.S. this occasion was the perfect place to view prominent artists and their work across a number of verticals including paintings, prints, sculptures and NFTs.

About the LA Art Show

The LA Art Show creates one of the largest international art fairs in the United States, providing an exciting, immersive, insider art experience to sponsors, their select guests and VIP clients. The show attracts an elite roster of national and international galleries, acclaimed artists, highly regarded curators, architects, design professionals, along with discerning collectors.

Attendees are trendsetters, influencers and alpha consumers, who seek and demand the newest and the best in all areas of their lives—art, design, food, technology and travel being specific passion points.

Since 2015, LA Art Show has been a strong and unwavering supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® as it leads the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In 2022, St. Jude returned as the beneficiary with the LA Art Show donating 15% of all ticket proceeds to its life saving mission.

Dirt Bike Graphics Kits

Leave a reply

It can be easy to get bored with the graphics on dirt bikes, and it is always fun to look for new and exciting ones. Graphics may not make a ride faster, but they can help represent a sponsor and keep a bike looking clean and new. There are endless configurations and designs that will help personalize and upgrade a bike. Let’s take a deep dive into the world of dirt bike graphics and where to find quality graphics kits.

Quality Graphics Kits

There are kits available to make custom logos, text styles, colors, layouts, and finishes. Graphics kits range in price, depending on the quality. It is even possible to create a personalized kit, for the most customized biking experience. These kits have graphics for covering the rear fender, lower fender, radiator covers, lower fork, rear swing arm, and number plates. To find exactly what is wanted, or even just to know where to start, get help at Senge Graphics. Buying quality kits is important, since mud, water, and rain will rub on these decals each time the bike is used and cause them to wear. Graphics should be made to last, and they can be difficult to install.

Look around for the best quality and the best price. Full kits are the most complete and include graphics for most parts of the bike. A radiator shroud kit will include the radiator shroud graphic and often the air box decals. Front and rear fender decals are included in a trim kit. Even blank number plate backgrounds and pre-printed number plate backgrounds help make a bike stand out from the rest. The graphics kit should be made of quality material. Make sure the graphics are 16-20 mils thick. Lower quality plastic is available and cheaper, but it probably won’t last as long. It is also important to look for a trusted adhesive brand, such as 3M. UV protective coating is another sign of a quality product.

Installation Instructions

Once that perfect, high-quality graphics kit is found, make sure to prepare the plastic on the bike. Remove old stickers and clean the bike with rubbing alcohol or another adhesive removing cleaner. With a new bike, be sure to wipe the bike off to ensure no manufacturer oil residue is left. Make sure the bike is well prepared to get the longest life out of the graphics.

Special Tips

Get better results when installing graphics using these tips.

Don’t install graphics in a cold or damp area.
Clean the bike before installing.
Remove existing decals before applying new graphics.
Pay special attention to the edges of the graphics.

More Upgrades

There are lots of other ways to upgrade a bike. Riding can be smoother with a new suspension, including shocks, linkage, and fork seals. Upgrading the exhaust system can boost the speed, sound, and look of a bike. Changing the sprocket or chain can upgrade a bike and give more speed. Try replacing the factory clutch with a new clutch system. It’s sure to boost the bike’s performance. Because dirt bike controls change how bikes are operated, try changing the footpegs, handlebars, levers, or grips. If an old bike is looking a little old, slow, or beat up, why not try giving it an upgrade? Dirt bike graphics kits are easy to find, personalize and install on any dirt bike. A few of 360 Magazine‘s favorite dirt bike companies include Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, KTM and Kawasaki.

Oh Polly, the brand that has been sweeping the internet and part of every major influencer’s wardrobe, is now redefining the women’s athleisure space with their sister company Bo+Tee. The UK based brand debuted their latest collection at The Bonaventure Brewing Company on December 15th, 2021.

The infamous brewery located on the fourth floor of The Westin in DTLA was the perfect venue to host their first event. Immediately walking in, guests are greeted with a DJ playing hits from Drake to Megan the Stallion, and with a bar serving drinks from red wine to hot chocolate spiked with Baileys. Finger foods were served throughout the evening including chicken skewers, cheese burgers, and a stand with churros and cotton candy for those sweet lovers.

Christmas came early this year! Attendees picked a set of their choosing from the latest collection. The articles of clothing were displayed in the back of the venue for guests to admire, while walking away with free Bo+Tee. We continued to canvas the floor deck of the venue, eventually stumbling upon a screen printing booth giving out special tote bags.

To end the night, fragrance brand Sarah Horowitz Parfums set up a station to concoct your own custom perfume. The process started with questions asking about one’s favorite citrus and favorite foods. In only fifteen minutes, the team constructed the scent of your dreams based on your answers.

The Bo + Tee’s capsule collection consists of five different pieces. This includes different variations of contemporary colored crop tops and seamless leggings. The pieces from the latest drop range from $30-$40. The collection can be available for purchase on us.ohpolly.com.

Night Night Premiere

By Krishan Narsinghani

Freeform’s Famous In Love star, Nikki Koss, makes her debut as a director for the psychological thriller Night, Night. 360 Magazine had the opportunity to attend the premier in Malibu’s very own Country Mart, a first time ever screening in the vicinity. In attendance was the film’s lead actress, Brenna D’Amico, well known for her past work in the television film, Descendants. The movie was shot in Corsicana, Texas with Koss, Robert Johnson (writer), Austin Seltzer, and Ryan DeLaney producing and Amber McNutt executive producing.

The evening illuminated with a red carpet under the stars adjacent an intimate outdoor seating area at John’s Gardens, sponsored by Beverly Hill’s iSkin. Wine from a local Texas vineyard was surprisingly featured in the movie and was served throughout the soiree.

Acting from D’Amico shined as she plays a parent-less romantic named April who survives an almost fatal car accident. April awakens from her coma to find herself next to a man she barely remembers to be casually dating. With her family out of the picture, she relies on him to take care of her throughout the recovery process while facing psychosis and hallucinations from the medication. Viewers can suspect a roller coaster of emotions and some interesting spins on reality, trauma and love. It should also be noted that the music supervision aligned nicely with the shot selection. Fellow actors include Tony Todd (Final Destination), Eric Roberts (Candyman), Brooke Anne Smith, Adam Budron, Nick Marini, Matty Cardarople, and Neels Visser.

“Night Night is genre bending. It contains the classic, on the edge of your seat entertainment that’s expected from a thriller. However, what makes Night Night so special is how we let the audience live in the unknown with April. While she’s in a constant battle trying to figure out why these absurd phenomenons are happening to her, you feel the energy of being disoriented and stressed just as she does.” -Brenna D’Amico

“Night Night is really special film for a plethora of reasons. It’s a psychological thriller unlike most. I really tried to take the genre and turn it on its head. Specifically via a unique aesthetic that almost feels bizarre in conjunction with the script and a soundtrack that feels like an original parallel. I’m incredibly excited for the world to see this new take on a psych thriller.” -Niki Koss

More On The Director:

Niki Koss is an award winning actress and filmmaker with an ambition for telling stories that contribute to changing the world. When not directing, she can more recently be seen in her series regular role of Alexis Glenn in the acclaimed Freeform Network series, “Famous In Love”.

Strick Land Album Release Party

Leave a reply

By Krish Narsinghani, Yash Thadani

Strick, American rapper and singer, recently released his new album “Strick Land.” As a North Carolina native and an affiliate to Young Thugs infamous label Young Stoner Life, the artist wanted to paint a picture behind his album’s influence. If you’re already familiar with the “For Sale” rapper’s past, then you know the result is an eventful evening at an intimate boujee venue. For this specific album, Strick and his team held the party at a beautiful private art gallery in West Hollywood (known as Linc) and produced by The P.M. Firm. The ambience was unmatched with two rooms with varying vibes for all personality types. The initial reaction walking into the venue was refreshing. The first room had one section where women were embellished with paint across their bodies, while the other room displayed the new merch drop.

360 Magazine had the opportunity to sit down with the producers behind the new line, Jelani James and Jessica Raven (of companies JW Capital & Holding and Amber James), who worked directly with Strick.

“This is a family thing.. tied in through Young Thug’s dad, Big Jeff. There is no third party. It’s direct to manufacture. Strick has been really involved in every step of the process – making sure that his designs are in line with the album and the fits hit right. He wants to make sure everything has a certain aesthetic before being released.”

Nostalgic to say to the least. A room with vintage Pac-man, arcade style basketball and lemon pepper wings brought back memories of those middle school days.The real climax was when the DJ started playing songs from “Strick Land” with guest appearances from Nav, Metro Boomin and Asap Rocky. It’s safe to say this was a night to remember.

More on Strick:

Strick is a robust and multifaceted recording artist hailing from North Carolina and currently splitting his time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Best known for honing his skills as a clever wordsmith and adept songwriter, Strick has garnered a reputation for tapping into his diverse professional background both in business and in the U.S. Air Force to elevate both his business acumen and genuine creative output alike.

After relocating to Atlanta in 2012 and founding his own branding agency for aspiring musicians Foundation 86, Strick moved to Los Angeles to pursue his own career as an artist. He then landed his first official placement on Kanye West and Juicy J’s “Ballin’,” leading him to work with artists such as Travis Scott, Jeremih, K. Michelle and Wiz Khalifa. In 2016, Strick earned his first platinum record “coordinate” off Scott’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight album, further igniting his hunger to continue developing his skills as a songwriter. That same year, he went on to join Young Thug on several tours, including the Hi-Tunes tour (2016) and the Hi Horse’D tour (2016/2017). Later, he was invited to join Young Thug and J. Cole on the K.O.D tour (2018), and Young Thug and Machine Gun Kelly on their co-headlining tour (2019). Most recently, Strick partook on the Justin Bieber Big Tour (2019).

In July 2017, Strick dropped his debut EP, Risk=Reward. In 2018, he released January’s Risk=Reward 2 and April’s Pairadice, going on to ink a deal with YSL Records and 300 Entertainment.

Top Eight Beauty Trends

Even during a lockdown, beauty can bring moments of joy to your day, whether you’re looking to relax or assert yourself creatively. The year is nearly over, but it is never too late to begin practicing self-care and making more time for yourself. Whether it’s doing lazy weekend chores with a hair mask slathered on your hair, or trying out a new skincare ingredient while binge-watching the latest Netflix hit series; there’s a lot of experimenting to be done. Here are the top 8 beauty trends to try in 2021.

Mood Enhancing Beauty Products

Civilizations have employed cosmetics for a variety of purposes throughout history, including enhancing attractiveness, participating in religious ceremonies, and maintaining good health (hello, sunscreen!). The act of applying cosmetics is becoming increasingly vital in today’s world. Beauty products can bring some normalcy and light into even the darkest of situations. While it won’t solve all of your problems, doing your makeup can lift your spirits and give you a sense of power, control, routine, and relaxation.

Skinimalism

When it comes to skincare, you may have long believed that more is better: the more aggressive serums you use, the more radiant your skin will be. Excessive skin care efforts, just like enjoying life to the fullest always misses the mark and can leave a path of destruction in the shape of a damaged skin barrier, redness, irritation, and, in some cases, acne. This is where Skinimalism enters the scene. It’s all about taking a step back, embracing the power of multipurpose products, and committing to a more sustainable (and often less expensive) beauty routine in the end.

Abstract Nails

Abstract nails are already witnessing increased searches and popularity in 2021, and we can’t get enough of the personality-packed trend, especially when it seems like a journey down memory lane. The distinctive swirls, dots, and hues exude a strong retro vibe. From groovy swirls to mod-inspired designs, the greatest of the 1960s and 1970s can be found right at your fingertips. The abstract nail style features a lot of negative-space detailing and is completely adaptable to your mood.

Lashes That Make a Statement

If you’ve always wanted to try out extra-long lashes but were afraid you’d look silly, now is your chance. This trend has resurfaced in a big way. It’s also possible that it’s not as horrible as you imagine. We’ve come a long way from wearing unnatural-looking lashes to mink lashes that complement our features. As a result, don’t be afraid to experiment with different eyelash extension patterns as they can complement your appearance while also bringing out your inner prima-donna. If you don’t want to wear falsies, you can get the same effect with mascara and a few lash-lengthening tricks.

Graphic Eyeliner

Eyeliner can be used on the water lines of the eyes, above the upper lashes, below the lower lashes, or both. Its main purpose is to make the lashes look fuller, but it can also call attention to the eye and affect the form of the eye.. as yet another out-of-the-ordinary makeup trend emerges, it’s clear that 2021 is the year for daring makeup looks. During the midst of the pandemic last year when people were trying to use makeup while staying safe wearing respirator masks is the same time graphic eyeliner made its debut. This makeup look has quickly become popular and is used by beauty gurus to express their creativity. There are no limits to what you can do with this trend, from colored liners to cool designs, it’s easy to express oneself.

Choppy Eyebrows

Every now and then, we all feel too lazy to groom our brows. Don’t worry, because this trend is ideal if you have trouble doing your brows. People used to shave their brows into a thin strip, but that is no longer the case. Nowadays, the bushier the better, and trends continue to evolve to accommodate this style. The choppy brow is the newest trend, which involves brushing them upwards to give them a light and youthful appearance. If necessary, fill them in with a brow pencil before brushing them to give them a fuller appearance.

The Bold Lip

Lipstick, whether with or without a mask, never goes out of style because it is essential to completing a makeup look and can change your mood. People are about to rock their favorite bold lip colors all year long, from classic red to trendy burgundy. Look for matte lipsticks if you don’t want your lipstick to smear on your mask. It’s less prone to smudges than glossy finishes.Apply the correct lip balm under your lipstick to keep it moist and colorful for a superior base and longer wear. Use hand sanitizers before touching your lips to kill infection causing microorganisms.

Liquid Lipstick

You spend what seems like an eternity priming, padding, and precisely applying your bold lipstick, only to have it stain, transfer, or fade completely by the time you finish your morning cup of coffee. Does this sound familiar? Liquid lipsticks are smear and kiss-proof, which is one of the key reasons they are the ideal lipsticks. Liquid lipsticks are the way to go if you want to go a little bolder with your lip color. They’re designed to be long-lasting, so the color won’t just not transfer onto your cocktail glass, but it won’t even kiss off on your man’s lips.

Conclusion
Beauty, like most things, has been in an odd place in recent months. Our homes now serve as our workplace, day care, and beauty salons. However despite the pandemic, the beauty industry is still thriving and these tips will ensure that you stay up to date.

How To Take Control of your Finances

Debt has been a challenging subject that can be either easy or hard to explain. Debt is the amount of money that one party owes another party. Debt can be seen in multiple ways especially in this generation. To learn more about debt details look into this article. Not many of the Gen-Z fully understand how debt or banking works which lead to many being under a huge amount of loans after certain aspects of life. The main three types of debts that occur in this generation are credit cards, student loans, and mortgage loans.

There is a reason why those debts are listed in that order because they correlate to each part of life. Credits cards are great to learn from when you’re single and first tackling the real world. It’s the first type of debt you start with. Credit cards are very common and most people may find it odd if you don’t have at least one credit card to build your credit score in order to gain more loans. Multiple resources recommend each person to have at least two credit cards, but not more than three because that shows banks that your expenses are very spread out. Student loans are once you start or complete your college degree in order to have a higher-paying job. Student loans can be divided into two types, private loans or state financial aid. Private loans are with an organization that offers loans and state financial aid is money given by the state government to help. Then we start with a mortgage loan for your first house when you start your family. Mortgage loans are for big property purchases that the bank normally gives out and normally payment is for 15-30 years.

As controlling your financials can be hard, especially without guidance, here are some solutions to hold right at your fingertips: budgeting, finding outside sources for student loans, and joining debt consolidation.

There are multiple ways to budget in the modern world due to the amount of resources we have today. Most budgeting templates require you to list out your expenses and the total income you have to work with monthly. In order to reduce debt, it would be better to take out unnecessary expenses as getting nails done, going to the movie theater, eating out, or clothes shopping. These are expenses that you want but don’t need. “Need” expenses include water bills, electricity bills, health insurance, rent, gas, and many more. If you fully understand what you actually need to spend in order to survive, that’s a good start to paying those loans off. Now that doesn’t mean you have to fully give up everything, just give more room for more important things. From making a list to canceling things off the list, try to pay more toward your debts. Informative Youtube videos have detailed outlines on fiscal responsibility that cut out unnecessary expenses, and thus in return make ends meet for debts.

Student loans can be forgiven under certain states that have forgiveness for student loans that are through the state government. Certain colleges even have a forgiveness program based on your financial income. Budgeting would work as well or even automatic billing for student loans to make your expenses lined up.

The last solution is a debt consolidation service where an individual can seek aid in a trained professional that can provide all of the possible ways to get lower collected debt. Consolidation is where you can combine all of your loans for a single monthly payment rather than paying each loan individually. This service can help you have more control of your debts. Some other service is to have settled the loans with negotiations or in general get counseling on how to manage your money if it gets into a mess. Gen-Z can utilize not YouTube videos but debt consolidation experts virtually as a possible solution. Remote learning and banking can save you time and money.
