Toronto Modeling Agency – Tip Tuesday – How to Use Essential Oils

Essential oils are known for their aromatic properties, but they’re much more complex when you start looking at them as healing remedies. Essential oils can help sinus infections and headaches, and they can also help you with stress and digestion.

Toronto Modeling Agency – How to use Essential Oils

Pure essential oils are very concentrated and should be diluted if they’re going to be applied topically. Mix a drop or two of an essential oil with one of your favorite carrier oils, such as jojoba, coconut or olive oil, before applying to the skin. 

From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, there’s not a bad place on the body to use essential oils. There are, however, some extremely effective at-home remedies that require just a couple drops applied strategically on the body. Check out these four key places to apply essential oils and start healing your body the natural way. 

Temples

Probably the most well-known area to put essential oils, the temples are a key pressure point. Lavender, peppermint and lemon essential oils are all known to help relax and de-stress. This is a great place to dab diluted essential oils any time of day, but it’s known to be particularly handy at night when you need to shut off your brain to get a good night’s sleep.  

Chest

Using an essential oil burner or popping a couple drops in a diffuser are really popular ways to clear up breathing problems. However, applying essential oils topically to the chest can work wonders if you have any sort of congestion or cough. Using a eucalyptus or juniper essential oil will loosen up the chest and have your breathing clearer in no time.

Stomach

Consider applying essential oils to the stomach when you’re having digestive issues. You’d be shocked at how quickly you can soothe a sore tummy with a little peppermint essential oil. Just as it’s calming when used on the temples, it can calm your stomach if you’re nervous, nauseous or having indigestion.

Feet

Last but certainly not least, use essential oils on your feet for an incredibly effective at-home cure for a variety of issues. While rumors that the feet absorb essential oils faster than other parts of the body are widely disputed, there’s no doubt that the feet are full of various reflexology points. Take advantage of massaging essential oils onto reflexology points on the feet, like the inner arches for digestion. A popular essential oil for this area is tea tree because of its smell and antibacterial properties. Bergamot, oregano or rosemary are also popular on the feet because of their scents and miraculous healing effects.

How long do essential oils last?

The life of an essential oil depends on the manufacturer, storage and quality of the oil. Essential oils should be kept in a safe, dry, cool location or else they risk spoiling. If you keep your essential oils in the proper environment and buy a high quality product, your essential oils will last around one year before needing to be tossed out.

Tips Kids mOdeling Toronto – Kids Acting agency Toronto – Top 5 Tips for Child MOdeling

We often get questions about trying to get into the child modeling industry. A lot of parents invest time and money to get their child into the industry only to find out it wasn’t the right fit for them.  We’ve put together our top 5 tips when considering getting your child into the industry.

  1. Make sure your child is really interested in being in the industry. There’s nothing worse than a parent forcing a child into the industry who does not want to do it.  Test the waters before making a commitment to make sure your child is really interested in doing this.
  2. Do your research when it comes to agencies and other jobs that you are getting your child involved in.  We’ve seen so many newbies starting out that end up going with agencies that are not good for their child’s career, classes that are not helpful or fashion shows and shoots that are not beneficial for their career.
  3. While it is definitely possible to get into an agency from a standard snapshot, if you are having trouble getting noticed sometimes a great new headshot can make them take a second look. A great photographer can highlight the best features in your child, so it can sometimes be the little push they need to get started.

4. Do not get in the way of your child’s career.  We’ve seen so many situations where everyone loves the kid, but they don’t get booked because of parents that are difficult to work with.

5. Make sure you are committed and available before getting into the industry.  There’s a lot of work involved between castings, bookings, fittings, etc. so make sure you are willing to put in the time or have a great support system to help you and your child along your journey.

Use a modern fleece jacket to stay warm

Fleece is a winter staple that have come bacl in style and we are happy it did! It is warm and cozy, and brands have really stepped it up to make it stylish recently. Wear it alone on warmer days or easily layer it under a jacket on colder days. Style hack: wear a high neck fleece completley zipped up while keeping your overcoat open at the top to reveal the cozy fleece. 

Go for a statement turtleneck

A trend with streetstyle stars have been layering bright or patterned turtlenecks. Sneak one under a button-up shirt or crew neck sweater to have a subtle pop.
