2 FUN FAMILY CARD GAMES TO PLAY WITH 1 DECK Whether you’re hanging out at home or camping with the family, card games are a great way to relax. A single deck is versatile and easy to pack, so if you have one on hand, try these two games that go beyond the classics like War and Go Fish. Slapjack (2+ Players, No Jokers): The goal of this War-style game is to win all of the cards. To start, deal all of the cards face down, then have everyone form their cards into a pile without looking at them. Each player then flips a card face up into the center. Continue doing this until one of the cards played is a jack. When that happens, the first person to slap the jack wins it and the cards beneath! They add them to their deck, and play continues until one player has all of the cards. To keep things interesting, if you accidentally slap a card that isn’t a jack, you have to give up one of your cards to the player with that pile, and if you run out of cards, you can reenter the game by slapping the very next jack.
Lip blushing is applied using a tattoo gun. You can select the shade you want to use, from something extremely similar to your natural lip color to something a little bolder. Some clients like to bring along their favorite lip colors, which is very helpful! During your appointment, your technician will create a temporary outline to demonstrate the size and shape of your lips after the procedure is completed. Once you’re satisfied with the outline, a numbing cream will be applied to your lips, and the technician will carefully layer color onto your mouth. The result will be quite pronounced immediately after the procedure, but the pigment fades during recovery to create a more natural look. Full healing takes 1–2 weeks, and some minor peeling will be involved. A follow-up appointment is scheduled for 6–8 weeks after the procedure to fine-tune the color and shape of your lips. If you think lip blushing might be right for you, call our office to schedule a consultation today. We’ll be glad to make recommendations and walk you through the procedure — after all, it’s our job to make sure you look your best. Service of the Month PERFECT YOUR POUT WITH LIP BLUSHING Spar (2–4 Players, No Ace of Spades or Cards Below 6): This easy game is played with just 35 cards, and the object is to win the last round (aka trick). To start, deal five cards to each player. Then, have the person to the left of the dealer lay one of their cards face up. Each person in the circle then plays a card in the same suit if they can or another suit if they can’t. Whoever has the highest card in the original suit wins the trick and starts the next one! The winner of the fifth trick wins the game. If you want to keep score, award three points if the winning card is a six, two points if it’s a seven, and one point if it’s an eight or higher. Then play again! We found these games on BicycleCards.com, but you can learn about them and dozens of others by checking out “The Ultimate Book of Family Card Games” by Oliver Ho from your local library.
Are you dissatisfied with your lips but wary of the maintenance required with lip fillers? Do you hate putting on lipstick and wish you could just wake up with a pretty, natural shade every morning? If so, lip blushing might be for you. Lip blushing is a semi-permanent makeup treatment that helps tint and define your lips. Unlike lip fillers, lip blushing does not change the size or shape of your lips but shades them to create the appearance of a fuller and plumper mouth. Lip blushing is less invasive than lip fillers and the results generally last longer — plus, it leaves behind a natural-looking lip color. The edges of our lips are naturally a bit fuzzy and tend to blend into the surrounding skin. Lip blushing provides definition to your lips, creating the illusion that they are larger and fuller. The extra color also conceals fine lines, making your lips appear more youthful.
