One of the most beautiful and personalized gifts that can be given for the birth of a child is baby jewelry. Easily personalized by birthstone, or with an engraving, baby jewelry is a beautiful present for a new child. Both boy and girl children can be the recipient of this type of gift. Focus on choosing quality materials Whether you are buying new jewelry for a boy or girl, it is important to select the highest quality jewelry for the new baby. It is best to avoid cheap or poorly made jewelry that can scratch or irritate the delicate newborn skin. Many parents who receive jewelry for their newborns will wait until the baby gets a little older before allowing them to wear it. Nonetheless, selecting the best quaity baby jewelry will show that you have taken the best care when choosing the right gift. If the baby jewelry you are selecting will have birthstones, it is important to have a jeweler check to make sure the stones are genuine. Also try to choose sterling silver or genuine gold as these are the best quality materials for baby jewelry. Make sure the jewelry is safe In addition to choosing baby jewelry that is made from the best material, you will also want to opt for those that have the best construction. Poorly constructed jewelry could break apart and pose a choking hazard to an infant or toddler.

If you are considering buying this for your child or as a gift for another baby, consider what you want your engraving to say. Many people choose to put the baby’s name and birthday on the baby jewelry as well as installing the baby’s birthstone. Although this is a frequent choice, it is also worth considering placing a special message  for the child. Personalizing the baby jewelry with a unique message will mean more when the child becomes older and is...

You know that feeling. You smile widely and you feel a little sting in the center of your lip …. or you yawn really big and you feel a crack open up at the corner of your lips. Ouch! Chapped lips hurt! Some of us experience chapped lips in the spring and summer, but most people deal with chapped lips in the winter. There are a lot of options for chapped lips treatment these days, but the best treatment just may be prevention. Chapped lips are caused by several factors. First, in the winter time, lips can get chapped due to the drier air both indoors and outdoors. Inside, the heater that keeps you from shivering may be your worst enemy, drying the air circulating through your home. Since your lips have the thinnest layer of skin on your face, they have the greatest potential for becoming chapped. Breathing through your mouth for long periods of time can also cause your lips to chap. Of course, during the winter when you are most likely to have a congested nose, this is a greater problem than during the summer or fall. Licking your lips may relieve some of the dryness and tingling but it is not a solution to your chapped lips. When the saliva evaporates, it just makes the problem worse! There are oodles of chapped lips treatments available these days. The best one is still good old lip balm. The goal is to seal the moisture in so that your lips can heal once they are chapped. This also helps to prevent your lips from chapping in the first place. The barrier of lip balm between your lips and the elements fills the cracks and prevents infection or irritation. Whatever you do, don’t bite or pick at the flaking skin on your lips when they are chapped! This can cause great pain and will leave open sights for bacteria and germs to get in. When choosing a chapped lips treatment, there are a few things you want to look for. An oil based lubricating cream or lip balm that contains petroleum or beeswax is your best bet! Apply it before you go out in the cold weather. It...
