Pedicures – Luxury or Necessity?

Posted on by

What does a pedicure include?

Regular pedicure: A simple treatment that includes foot soaking, foot scrubbing with a pumice stone or foot file, nail clipping, nail shaping, foot and calf massage, moisturizer and nail polishing.

Are pedicures good for your feet?

Pedicures are not just an extravagant way to relax, they’re a key part of maintaining good foot health. For healthy and comfy feet, it’s important to get regular pedicures. Many foot conditions are associated with poor foot hygiene and care, like calluses, corns, fungal infections, and Athlete’s foot.

In a recent report, the American Podiatric Medical Association found 53 percent of respondents reported foot pain so severe that it hampered their daily function.

Should you get a Tattoo?

Deciding whether or not to get a tattoo is a personal choice. that depends on individual preferences and circumstances.

If you were brought up in the 60’s your mum probably told you a tattoo on a woman was vulgar. Well those days are long since gone.

Almost 20% of Brits over 18 are estimated to have a tattoo. Among 25 to 39 group it could be as high as 30%.

Does it Hurt?

Tattoos hurt, there’s no denying that. But did you know that the tattoo artist plays a crucial role in how much they hurt?

Tattoo artists are capable of reducing tattoo pain by using different techniques and strategies while tattooing and identifying the various triggers of pain.

What is Reiki?

Literally, Reiki means “universal life energy.” It’s an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow within the body. Reiki practitioners believe there is an energy force in and around the body. They believe that there is a flow of energy between the reiki practitioner and the receiver of the treatment.

In Reiki treatments, practitioners will place their hands over various parts of the body and transfer healing energy. During a session, practitioners may focus their energy on the sources of specific conditions. Most people remove their shoes. You remain fully clothed during the treatment.

Tenerife Health Insurance

Posted on by

Choosing the best health insurance for expats can be difficult. There are many insurance options to choose from and not all plans may suit your lifestyle, especially for those who have left it a little late in life.

Health insurance might be low priority when you move to Tenerife but there is a massive risk of getting ill abroad and it pays to be prepared. 

After taking the huge step of relocating to a new country, it’s important to ensure all aspects of your new life are secure, particularly when it comes to organising your expat health insurance. Ensuring that you and your family can access healthcare abroad is one of the first things you should organise – because no one can predict when an emergency or health issue might arise.

Find out what customer support is available – very important for your health insurance plan. Some insurers offer 24/7 support for their customers and also offer support in multiple languages. Be sure to do some research before you buy so you are aware of what to expect as you never know when a medical emergency may happen.

Above all, seek professional guidance from a reputable insurance broker who actually cares about their clients and can offer you a full service. AND please don’t forget about life insurance.No one wants to think about a partner passing but it’s very much worse with financial problems if you are left alone in Tenerife.

Health Care Abroad

Health Care in Tenerife

One of the most difficult decisions that many face having moved to Tenerife, is when your partner needs medical or day to day care.  If the decision to seek  professional help is also in your own best interest, then the guilt can be overwhelming.

Facing age related issues or a progressive illness like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, your partner still has to deal with their declining health whether you continue functioning as their sole caregiver or choose to bring in outside help.

What many fail to accept is that this is a decision that is really hard to make on your own. Finances are also an issue that is going to weigh heavily. Often, well before you accept the need to make a decision, you will be faced with concerns about how it will all work financially if one of you goes into residential care. This can be very unsettling but it isn’t an uncommon situation.

There are options other than a full time nursing facility and if you plan in advance you should consider insurance of some kind that can help with finances. In addition, take advice on the benefits of paying into the local health care system before the need arises.

Above all, don’t try and face it alone.
