The Unmade Bed Look

What this means is not necessarily that you don’t make your bed, but that you allow the layers of your bedding to show in some way. Allowing the details of the sheets to informally peek out from a coverlet or fold over a quilt is simply more inviting and welcoming than covering it all up with a bedspread. Not only does the bed look like it is ready to crawl back into (good idea), but it is not so stiff and formal that it feels untouchable.

Showing the layers, including pillows and pillow shams, gives you the opportunity to showcase your personal style through the pieces you have selected.

Conversely, the details you like in bedding provide clues to your style personality.
Do you like ruffly sheets? Flowered ones? Striped top sheets and solid bottom sheets? Or all matching yellow sheets? Bright or pastels? Are you drawn to fluffy down blankets or do you prefer coverlets ? Stiff pillows or squishy ones? Lots of pillows or few pillows?

Each detail reveals something about you. Even if you aren’t a fan of the “Unmade Bed Look” having a formal bed with relatively stiff covers and few wrinkles allowed says something about your style!

So tell me, how would you describe your style, based on YOUR bed’s look (or better yet, the DREAM look if you could have the look you want ?) I can’t wait to find out!

I actually DO make the bed every day. I just like the more casual look of a less formally styled bed when it is made.

Home remedies for treating sunburn

Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is commonly used to treat sunburn. As well as providing soothing relief, it may also assist in the healing process. Apply to the affected areas as needed. You can actually squeeze out your own gel from an aloe vera plant ! But otherwise, get bottled aloe vera gel from a health food store or aloe vera cream from a pharmacy.

There is nothing more healing and soothing for immediate and long term relief for sunburn. This fresh acidic water spray helps the skin to immediately heal and repair the damage of sunburn. It’s to your advantage to have one of these units ready to go.

Black Tea Compress
Make a pot of boiling water and steep many tea bags to a very strong tea in a large pot. Add ice until the tea is just slightly warm. Put a bath towel into the pot and keep turning the towel until it has soaked up all of the tea (one that you won’t care if it changes color!) Have the sunburned person lie on the floor or bed on top of an old towel to catch drips. Place the wet towel over the sunburned area of the body. Leave the towel on for a half hour for a moderate burn and an hour for a strong burn. The tannic acid in the tea draws the burn out of the skin and heals it. After just one application, most sunburns are no longer painful and are much less red. However, this treatment will act on the pain but may not prevent peeling. Plain Yogurt. You just pat it on and leave it on for a little while and it helps sooth the skin.
