How Botox Treats Migraines

January 18, 2022June 3, 2020 by Las Vegas Woman

Botox is a cosmetic injectable that thousands of people have seen value in for smoothing out their fine lines and wrinkles. While it’s certainly beneficial for this reason, several thousand people are also seeing the value in it for migraines. Could Botox for migraines be right for you?

How Does Botox Treatment for Migraines Work?

It’s natural to be dubious about using a cosmetic injection as a migraine treatment method. You may not see how the two could work in harmony or even why there would be any success. However, the studies look promising.

In one study involving adults with chronic migraines, Botox was able to reduce the number of days they experienced migraines and other headache types while also cutting down how many days they had off work.

Another study found that 70% percent of migraine sufferers were able to see a 50% reduction in the number of headaches they experienced. While extensive research is still ongoing, doctors believe Botox blocks the neurotransmitters that transport pain signals from your brain. This prevents them from accessing the nerve endings in your neck and head that result in the symptoms you experience.

What’s Involved in Botox Treatment for Migraines?

As nervous as you might be about receiving Botox treatment in your head for migraine treatment, there’s no need to worry. It’s a straightforward process when carried out by a trained medical professional.

How to Create a Sustainable Landscape Design

January 18, 2022March 4, 2020 by Las Vegas Woman

Sustainability has been on many people’s minds in recent years. We want to use less energy and chemicals, and we want to spend less money. This is all possible with a sustainable landscape design.

What does a sustainable landscape design look like, and how can you create one for yourself? Read on to find out.

Understanding the Principles of Sustainable Landscape Design

Before you can create a landscape design that emphasises sustainability, it helps if you know what it is. Sustainability in a landscape design incorporates many things, such as water saving, energy saving, biodiversity, produce growth, and pollution reduction.

You might incorporate all of these factors into your design or simply a few. However, having an awareness of them all can allow you to put more thought into the design process to make sustainability your priority.

Step 1: Measure

For accuracy and precision when purchasing products for landscaping, and the landscape process itself, make sure you measure everything. Draw the shape of your property and its boundaries on a piece of paper and measure along the edges.

Measuring the positioning of plants and trees that you’ll be keeping in place can also help you decide how to work around them and make the most of the space.

If you intend to have a new kitchen designed and fitted in your home, the process to go from the initial decision, through to the kitchen’s completion, can either be a smooth or a rough one. In the case of the latter scenario where things do not run smoothly, there will several reasons which lead to this, all of which are easily avoidable.

Some of the main issues will be a failure to determine what the priorities are for your kitchen, will include a lack of proper planning, not setting a timetable for the whole process, not establishing a budget, and probably the biggest fault, will be not seeking out professional advice.

To help you further, here are some more detailed outlines of the five main steps you should take in planning your ideal kitchen.

Determine Your Kitchen Design Priorities: One of the fundamentals that will help the process go well is to establish the main priorities you have for the kitchen. By this, we mean the style, the layout, what appliances you want including and the colour scheme. By deciding these at an early stage, the rest of the design process will ensure that the main goals for your kitchen are met once it is completed and in use.

Think About Practicalities Such As Power And Plumbing: A well-designed kitchen is not just about the visuals and by that we mean choosing the cabinet door design and worktop colours. Given the nature of what is done in a kitchen, the practicalities must be considered, with the most important being plumbing, electrics, and gas.

5 Exercise Activities That Can Be Done During Pregnancy

January 19, 2022June 4, 2019 by Las Vegas Woman

Pregnancy is a time in a person’s life when many of their normal activities might take a back seat and that may include a postponement of their exercise and fitness routines. It is often thought that whilst pregnant, women should not be partaking in anything physical in nature, however, that is not the case for most individuals.

An expectant mother may be advised by her doctor to refrain from physical activity due to a medical condition or an enhanced risk to her or her unborn baby’s wellbeing that exists. However, for the majority of pregnant women exercise is not only possible but is encouraged. With this in mind, we thought we should highlight outline some exercise activities that can be done during pregnancy.

However, before we go into the details we must make the disclaimer that before undertaking any exercise, including those that follow, every expectant mother should seek the advice of their doctor to ascertain if there are any medical reasons why they should not. So, do not do any of the following exercise activities until you have been given the green light to do so from the medical professional who is advising you during your pregnancy.

Pilates

One of the core objectives of Pilates is to improve a person’s posture and balance. These become even more prevalent during pregnancy, especially as your baby grows larger. Pilates can help strengthen your core muscles including your pelvic muscles which can be invaluable during childbirth. Pilates will also help improve your posture as you are walking, something you will be especially grateful for in the latter stages of your pregnancy.

In the southwest corner of Bali, you will find Canggu, which is a location that you could describe as ‘recently discovered’ by tourists. One of the reasons it has become so popular is that it manages to combine several different facets of a holiday and provide them all in one area.

To give you further insights into the many activities that Canggu can offer tourists here are 7 which we hope are diverse enough to include at least one activity for everyone to enjoy.

Canggu is certainly one of those places and in fact, it actually has three top surfing spots.

Visit Pura Tanah Lot Temple: Situated on the top of a rock formation, the Tannah Lot Temple is a popular tourist attraction as well as remaining a religious place for locals who pray to the sea gods.

Best Landscape Design Elements for Entertaining

January 19, 2022May 4, 2018 by Las Vegas Woman

While some people put time and effort into their gardens and landscape design to enjoy a picturesque garden, others want a space that’s far more functional. A garden doesn’t have to be just pretty; it can also be an extension of your home’s interior where you spend time with loved ones.

The hardest part about creating an outdoor area for entertaining is coming up with a winning landscape design. If you need a helping hand, any of these elements can be worth incorporating into your sketches.

Hardscape Elements

The more hardscape elements you have in your backyard, the less gardening you will have to do. Hardscapes incorporate features like pathways, retaining walls, benches, water features, and even swimming pools.

If you prefer a more ‘lock up and leave’ style property for minimal maintenance, you may choose to include a combination of many of these elements into your landscape design.

Partitioning & Shelter

When you plan on spending a lot of time outside, protection from the elements is crucial. Most homeowners aim to create a space that will be just as comfortable in warm weather as it would be in cold weather.

You may be able to create such a space with the use of partitioning and shelter. Privacy screens, pergolas, and simple structures can provide both shelter and privacy while giving your entertainment area a dedicated space on your property.

5 Key Facts About Corporate Receivership

January 19, 2022February 8, 2018 by Las Vegas Woman

Whilst a business having the legal status of a corporation gives it many advantages and protections under commercial law, that does not mean it is entirely immune from problems and difficulties. One of the most common areas where disputes can arise concerning the finances of a corporation is how its assets are distributed to its shareholders and its secured creditors.

These decisions are usually made by the board, but if there is a disagreement between how the board wish to distribute a corporation’s assets, and its shareholders, then under commercial law a shareholder or group of shareholders can request that the corporation be placed into receivership.

What Is Corporate Receivership?

Receivership means that the legal status of a corporation has been changed by a court. Its effect is to place the assets of a corporation under court-appointed control to ensure assets are not misused or misappropriated by its directors. Receivership is often requested by shareholders or secured creditors when they believe that the assets of a company in which they own shares or are owed money are going to be sold off cheaply or to parties with which they do not agree.

Who Controls A Receivership?

Unsurprisingly the person who is appointed to be in control of receivership is called a receiver. They are appointed by a court via court order and this court order issues them with formal rights and obligations which they must perform during the period of receivership. Apart from them being obliged to use due diligence and act in good faith at all times, specific examples of the main rights and obligations of a receiver include:
