Celebration Week - New Inspiration Boards and a Mary McDonald Dollhouse


My four year blogiversary is this coming Saturday. This week I will be creating a new fantasy inspiration board each day, with the announcement of my giveaway on Friday.

Today I have created a really chic and glamorous unisex nursery. The wallpaper is Scalamandre Zebras in a beautiful purple, great for either a boy or a girl. The crib is the first ever entirely acrylic crib available at The Well Appointed House as is the Dorothy Draper style changing table and dresser. The dragon lamp is Jonathan Adler. The chandelier is by Marjorie Skouras. The Crate and Barrel Tess chair is in a deep purple called grape. A large abstract by artist Kerry Steele is the perfect finishing touch. I love the idea of original art in the nursery. This room can easily become a guest bedroom or an office down the road it is so ultra sophisticated.

If you missed yesterday's post, below is my fantasy dining room and my virtual makeover of the backyard at the Chinese Village House.



Have you seen that twenty interior designers including Mary McDonald decorated dollhouses for a charitable event? Here are her three rooms via A Lovely Being. You can see all the dollhouses here.





For those of you new to Chinoiserie Chic who missed my Chinoiserie Chic I'm a Giant Challenge Dollhouse and my Dragon Dollhouse, here are the links to my reveals - click on the captions for the links. I created two Chinoiserie dollhouses and twelve rooms all filled with Chinoiserie!

How To Heal Bleeding Gums?

Bleeding gums have become such a common issue these days that people don’t even consider it a problem anymore. Take yourself as an example: Would you even think of calling up your dentist just because you saw a pinch of blood today on the apple you bit? I don’t think so! What do you say is the reason behind your less caring attitude? Of course you wouldn’t ignore it completely with the fear of being embarrassed in front of others if it were to happen again.

Most people attribute this to the increasing level of awareness about the causes and remedies of such minor diseases. However, it depends upon the level of severity. Bleeding gums could be a cause of something as common as stress, or as severe as cancer. It is imperative to identify the cause before deciding how to heal bleeding gums.

Remedies To Heal Bleeding Gums At Home

Bleeding gums have become so common these days that people treat them the way they treat their headache, by taking over-the-counter pain killers or homemade remedies. Here are some simple and easy tips to save you from a dentist’s visit.


  • Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and make elliptical movement while brushing your teeth.
  • Stir a teaspoon of sea salt in lukewarm water and gargle with it daily. The minerals present in sea salt are more effective than any other medicated mouthwash.
  • Use an electrical brush at least thrice a week. Electrical brushes are more effective at removing plaque.
  • Vitamin C is the best way of strengthening your gums. Increase your consumption of citrus fruits and foods rich in vitamin C, like oranges, broccoli, cabbage, strawberries, etc. Vitamin C supplements are recommended by nutritionists as an alternative medicine for gum diseases.
  • Stand beneath the sun and absorb the UV rays for at least 15 minutes per week. Sun is the best and most effective source of vitamin D. It strengthens the immune system and dental tissues.
  • Make a habit of drinking cranberry juice without sugar daily, at least till the time your gums stop bleeding. Cranberry juice serves as a repellent for the bacteria and prevents them from sticking to the gums.

Professional Treatment To Heal Bleeding Gums

It is true that bleeding gums are considered as normal as headaches and can be treated with the same ease. However, it could also be as severe as any life-threatening disease. If left ignored or untreated, it can take the form of some critical gum disease like gingivitis or periodontitis. Bleeding and inflamed gums are one of the initial symptoms of diabetes, pancreatic cancer, heart diseases or hypothyroidism. Gums also bleed and swell in times of stress and depression. In such cases, you need to consult a psychologist because natural remedies would only soothe the gums for a while. If you are unable to cure your bleeding gums through natural remedies, then it calls for you to seek professional help.

Forget the myth that bleeding gums are associated with dental diseases only and dentists are the only people who can cure this. Keep yourself aware and approach the right person for help!

Celebration Week - Inspiration Boards and a Fabulous Giveaway


This coming Saturday, May 4, 2013 is my four year blog anniversary - with well over 2,000 posts. I plan to celebrate with a whole week of inspiration boards for each room of my fantasy Chinoiserie Chic house and the announcement of my blogiversary giveaway on Friday that you will not want to miss.

The Chinoiserie wallpaper is by Griffin & Wong "Song Sassoon" in a beautiful blue. The large circular table is silver leaf by James Mont circa 1940s. Six Frances Elkins loop chairs will surround the table. They are lacquered in white with gray leather seats. The faux malachite painted console table has gilded edges. For some fun, the console table will have a pair of Jonathan Adler Georgia breast lamps -  check it out here. A Marjorie Skouras chandelier is a wonderful focal point. A pair of antique Famille Rose Chinese garden stools will be tucked next to the dining table. My go to curtains, interlined silk taffeta, here in my favorite coral pink, will hang at the windows.

Now pop over to The Glam Pad to see my virtual makeover of the backyard of the Chinese Village House for inspiration on bringing Chinoiserie outdoors.

What ZendaSLIM Claims?

The advertising states: ZendaSlim claims to give you the “body you deserve” within 10 – 14 days. But in actual: The issue with ZendaSlim is that they do not often achieve this either. There is certainly huge insufficient product information on this web site. This provider makes a big aspect of expressing to the reader about the clinical profits and evidence of each ingredient but they will not let you know how much you would be having each dosage. Their data does not connect with the supplement they are really trying to sell.

Conclusion:

ZendaSlim looks a lot of style however no material. We feel you can get far better diet Supplements in the marketplace because ZendaSlim looks like a little evasive with facts and details.

The product advertisement quotes medical proof but is unable to provide the material of the capsules. They show doctors in their advertisement display however really do not provide medical proof. They provide a great promise however ignore to provide any information on how it works so they keep on their contact details, company profile and address unseen.
