The Pros and Cons of Working with Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paint was first developed in the 1950s as house paint and was made commercially available in the 1960s as artist-grade paint. And since then, it has become the primary art material for many contemporary artists.
Compared to oil paint and watercolour, acrylic paint is a recent discovery in art. Its versatile nature, vibrancy and stability have overtaken the art world. As more artists take advantage of the broader perspective of acrylic paint, more acrylic paint products hit the market.
Tumblr media
Want to learn more about acrylic paint? Here we will tell what it is, its pros and cons.
WHAT IS ACRYLIC PAINT?
Acrylic paint is paint made from pigments suspended in an acrylic emulsion. It is water soluble and fast drying and becomes water-resistant after drying.
Acrylic paint is highly versatile. Depending on how much the paint has been diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, a finished acrylic painting may resemble a watercolour, a gouache, or an oil painting. It may also have unique characteristics that are not obtainable with other media.
WHAT MAKES ACRYLIC PAINT DIFFERENT?
Previously, artists used to mix their paints to get the colours and textures they wanted. They could control the ingredients, like fillers, in their paints. However, it could be more practical to mix it by hand with acrylic paint. That's because it dries quickly and has other technical issues. Instead, artists buy ready-to-use acrylic paint, which they can modify using acrylic mediums or water.
Acrylic mediums offer more options compared to watercolour and oil paints. Acrylics can stick to many different surfaces, and mediums can be used to change how they bind to those surfaces. Acrylics can be used on paper, canvas, and various materials like hobby models (trains, cars, houses).
TRADITIONAL VS MODERN ACRYLIC PAINT
Even though acrylic paint is relatively new to the art world, there are still paints referred to as 'traditional' acrylic paint and 'modern' acrylic paint. Traditional acrylic paints are fast-drying paints that have been around for the past five decades and are made from brands such as Liquitex, Winsor & Newton, Golden and Grumbacher. Modern acrylic paints do not dry as quickly and can be reactivated after drying, and are made from brands such as Dirums and Chroma.
PROS AND CONS OF TRADITIONAL ACRYLIC PAINT
Toxicity level
Advantage: Acrylic paints are water-based, meaning they can be thinned with water (no toxic spirits are needed). In addition, wet paint can be cleaned using only soap and water.
Disadvantages: The pigments in acrylic paint can contain toxins, as can those in some oil paints. Additional toxins can be found in acrylics that use 'retardants' to slow drying time.
Drying time
Advantage: Traditional acrylic paints dry fast, so there's no need to wait between painting sessions for layers to dry. The paintings are dry enough to be shipped safely within a day or two.
Disadvantages: Because acrylic paints dry quickly, they cannot be mixed easily to create the 'wet in wet' technique popular with oil paints. For this reason, a finished acrylic painting may look more tacky than a finished oil painting.
Reactivation
Benefits: Unlike watercolours (another water-based paint), once traditional acrylics dry, they are mounted on a support for a longer shelf life. This makes it easier to paint new layers on top of the previous ones.
Disadvantage: It cannot be removed or changed once the paint is dry.
DURABILITY
Benefits: Acrylic paints have proven to be more flexible than oil paints. There's no need to follow the fat over-lean rule with acrylics so they don't break.
Disadvantages: We've only had acrylic paints for about 50 years, so we can't comment on how long they'll last.
Tumblr media
Consider the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic paint
Pros
It is versatile. You can paint on any surface that is oil and wax free. This includes canvas, wood, paper, rocks, glass, fabric, cardboard, metal and plastic. With the proper preparation, you can use acrylic paint on almost anything.
It dries quickly. With this, you can complete your project faster.
It is soluble in water. You can wash it off with your hands and brush (while they're still wet) with soap and water without needing paint thinner.
It is less toxic and much safer around children and pets.
It is more economical.
It's flexible. You can mix acrylics with many different mediums to get different textures, adhere characteristics, or change the drying time.
It is durable. As far as we know, acrylics are flexible and will not break, peel or yellow.
It's alive.
It is waterproof when dry.
Cons
It gets darker when it dries, so you won't necessarily get the exact colour you paint with.
It's also fast-drying, which means you'll have to work quickly.
Once dry, it is difficult to remove once dry with a brush, fingernail or cloth. It's best to have a water container when you paint to keep the brushes wet, so they're easier to clean. You should also wear protective clothing.
Once dry, it is difficult to remove with fingernails or clothing.
It is considered by some art galleries and collectors to be 'not as valuable' as compared to other paint mediums.
Discover a wide collection of acrylic artworks in various subjects such as nature and religious paintings at discounted prices from Dirums Collective.

Meal Prep for Busy Pros: Healthy Weight Loss Hacks
Hey there, busy bees! This Tuesday, Sarah here to tackle the age-old struggle: healthy eating amidst the hustle of professional life. We all know fast food and takeout can be tempting, but those choices often derail weight loss goals.
Tumblr media
Fear not, fellow American professionals! Here's your guide to sustainable weight loss through meal prep – a time-saving strategy for delicious, healthy meals all week long.
Why Meal Prep is Your Busy-Bee Ally:
Save Time & Money: Planning meals in advance minimizes last-minute unhealthy choices and impulse grocery store buys. Batch cooking can save you money too!
Portion Control: Prepping meals allows you to portion them perfectly, preventing overeating throughout the week.
Healthy Choices Made Easy: With healthy meals readily available, you'll resist the siren song of unhealthy convenience foods.
Meal Prep Hacks for the Busy American:
Prep Party Power: Dedicate a couple of hours on Sundays (or a day that works for you) to prepping your meals for the week. Think of it as a self-care power hour that pays off in healthy lunches and dinners!
Batch Cooking is Your Friend: Double or triple recipes to create multiple meals from one cooking session. Leftovers become tomorrow's lunch, or the base for a quick stir-fry.
Chop, Chop, Save Time: Wash, chop, and store fruits and veggies in advance. This eliminates prep time when you're ready to assemble meals.
Think "Assemble-It-Yourself" Lunches: Pre-cook protein like chicken breasts or salmon. During the week, assemble quick salads with these proteins, pre-chopped veggies, and a healthy dressing.
Mason Jar Magic: Layer salad ingredients in mason jars, with the dressing on the bottom. When it's lunch time, just give it a shake and enjoy a fresh, portable salad.
Utilize the Freezer: Many healthy meals like soups, stews, and stir-fry bases freeze beautifully. This allows you to prep larger batches and enjoy them throughout the month.
Meal Prep Essentials (American Grocery Staples):
Protein Powerhouses: Lean chicken breasts, ground turkey, salmon, tofu – choose protein sources you enjoy and cook them in bulk for easy meal assembly.
Colorful Veggies: Stock up on a rainbow of veggies like broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, leafy greens.
Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat pasta – these provide sustained energy and valuable fiber.
Healthy Fats: Include healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds to promote satiety and nutrient absorption.
Remember, meal prep doesn't have to be fancy! Focus on simple, healthy ingredients that you can easily combine throughout the week for delicious and varied meals.
Craving a Sweet Treat? We all do sometimes! But ditch the sugary snacks. I've got a FREE video recipe for a delicious and healthy smoothie that'll satisfy your sweet tooth without sabotaging your weight loss goals. Just click the link below to download it and keep your taste buds happy!

At its core, intermittent fasting involves sticking to a specific schedule of eating and fasting.
Incorporating it into your weight loss journey is a beneficial practice due to its numerous health benefits. This is particularly true for women experiencing hormonal changes during midlife. A 2014 study showed that individuals who follow an intermittent fasting plan for 3 to 24 weeks can expect to see a 3 to 8% reduction in weight and a 4 to 7% decrease in waist circumference. Another study conducted in 2018 revealed that individuals with type 2 diabetes were able to stop taking their diabetes medication after practising intermittent fasting for a year. In addition, intermittent fasting has been shown to have other beneficial effects, such as reducing inflammation, lowering the risk of cancer and dementia, and improving mood and cognitive function. The Galveston diet recommends incorporating the 16-8 intermittent fasting method.
You'll fast for 16 hours straight and eat for the remaining 8 hours. Typically, the eating window starts at noon when you have lunch and ends at 8pm when you finish dinner. This is the easiest schedule to maintain for two reasons. One, it closely resembles most people's regular eating schedules, so you won't feel a dramatic change, and two, you'll be sleeping for a good chunk of your fasting period, preventing you from feeling hungry and grabbing an unhealthy snack. If the noon to 8pm eating window isn't your cup of tea, that's completely okay.
You can adjust your eating and fasting hours to suit your schedule, whether that means starting your eating window earlier in the morning or ending it later at night. If the 16-8 pattern feels too restrictive, you can always experiment with the 14-10 method or other variations until you find your sweet spot. It's also important to ease into intermittent fasting, especially if you've never done it before. Instead of diving right into it and skipping breakfast entirely, try dipping your toes in first by gradually pushing back your eating time by half an hour.
Consume more anti-inflammatory foods. Have you ever felt like something just isn't right with your body, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is? Well, it turns out that there's a possibility you may be experiencing chronic inflammation, which can lead to serious health problems down the line.
For women in their midlife, an increase in chronic inflammation is linked to a drop in estrogen levels. Such hormonal fluctuations can also lead to weight gain, which further worsens inflammation. When you combine these two factors with the typical American diet, which is high in pro-inflammatory foods, a range of health problems may be on the horizon.
The most obvious foods to steer clear of are processed snacks, fast food, vegetable oils and fried food. These all contain omega-6 fats that trigger inflammation and raise bad cholesterol. Anything with added sugar and artificial preservatives is also a no-go. Added sugar refers to sweeteners that are added to foods, such as table sugar, sucrose and corn syrup. It's also a good idea to remove foods with saturated fats from your shopping list. This includes fatty beef, cheese and butter.
You can find healthy fats in avocados, walnuts, olives, coconut flour and sesame oil.
Protein is also a must. It plays a role in bone health and keeps you full and satisfied after meals. Anchovies and wild-caught salmon are great options for seafood lovers, while chicken, eggs and lean cuts of beef are good choices for meat eaters. There's also protein in legumes, tofu, almond milk, edamame and cottage cheese. Apart from healthy fats and protein, carbohydrates should definitely be a staple in your diet. They nourish your body with fibre and antioxidants and eliminate unwanted estrogen.
The good kind of carbohydrates, known as complex carbs, are found in leafy green veggies and various fruits like apples and bananas. You might also want to add supplements for fibre, vitamin D and omega-3 to your list. Although some foods contain these nutrients, you will often have a hard time meeting the required daily amount from your meals alone. Nutritional supplements can bridge that gap and provide you with the necessary quantity you need.
And of course, let's not forget water. As recommended by all health professionals, make sure to get at least 8 cups of water daily. It doesn't have to be plain water all the time. You can spice it up with organic herbs, fruits or veggies of your choice.
Macronutrients, or macros for short, refer to the three primary nutrients you need in your diet. Healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates. You'll be tracking these macros instead of calories as you would normally do with other weight loss programmes. This is an important step in the Galveston diet because this is how you shift your body's energy usage from glucose to fat.
When you eat, your body searches the food for carbohydrates and burns them for energy. After those are gone, your body automatically turns to body fat for fuel. Unfortunately, excess carb consumption can be problematic because it prevents your body from using body fat as an energy source. Additionally, the excess carbs can lead to the storage of body fat.
Instead of eating a carb-heavy diet, your goal is to get your carb intake down to only 10%. The remainder of your daily meals then becomes 70% healthy fats and 20% protein. Naturally, your body will take time to adjust to this shift. Don't expect to see massive changes within days as most people take 3-4 weeks to adapt to this new macronutrient ratio.
You might also experience side effects like nausea, fatigue and headaches in the early stages. These are symptoms of carbohydrate withdrawal and they're normal for people who have been carb-dependent for a long time. Drinking plenty of water and consuming electrolyte-rich foods like avocados, nuts and green vegetables will help mitigate some of the side effects.
Implementing the Three Components Together.
Essentially, it involves two main meals and two snacks per day, all of which should be consumed during your 8-hour eating window. When combined, the daily meals come close to the recommended 70-20-10 macro ratio. Most of the ingredients used in the plan are also carefully selected for their anti-inflammatory properties and are rich in nutrients that help regulate your hormones.
Full-fat Greek yogurt, sliced strawberries, blueberries and chopped walnuts. Add to that ground flax seed, chia seeds, hemp hearts and unsweetened coconut flakes. And don't forget ice cubes and water. To make it, mix everything in a blender and pour small amounts of water until you get to your consistency of choice. If you're looking for something even easier, Dr Haver's hard-boiled egg with avocado recipe is as simple as it gets.
It's a two-ingredient wonder, only needing a hard-boiled egg that's packed in protein, iron and vitamin D and half an avocado that's high in magnesium and potassium. Split the egg into two, plate it with avocado slices on the side and voila! You have a hearty snack you can even take to go. For something a bit more meaty, give the chicken and BLT wrap recipe a go. It requires a few romaine lettuce leaves, a sliced avocado, a cup of shredded rotisserie-cooked chicken breast, half a cup of chopped tomato and two slices of turkey bacon. Add to that four tablespoons of homemade ranch dressing, an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper and a quarter cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Once you have all that prepared, it's time to get wrapping. Start by flattening the lettuce leaves and evenly distributing the avocado, chicken, tomato and turkey bacon onto each leaf. Then give it an extra kick of flavour by adding the dressing, pepper and cheese on top. With all the ingredients in place, fold the sides of the lettuce leaf to create the perfect wrap.
First off, you have to commit to intermittent fasting like it's your full-time job. It shouldn't be a temporary fix, but a complete lifestyle change. You need this to avoid gaining weight again and keep inflammation at bay. Secondly, anti-inflammatory foods need to remain the focus of your meals. This time, though, you don't have to limit yourself to Dr Haver's recommended meal plan.
Finally, let's talk macros. You still need to pay attention to them, but are allowed to shake things up a bit. Change your ratio to 60% fat, 20% protein and 20% carbs for about a week or so, then gradually transition to 50-20-30 for a few more weeks, and finally settle at a sweet spot at 40-20-40. If you notice a modest uptick in weight, usually around 5 pounds, it's completely normal. Just make sure to keep track of your body measurements.
However, if the weight gain continues, it's time to temporarily go back to the 70-20-10 ratio. Your journey to a healthy lifestyle doesn't end with eating the right foods at the right time. It's important to make conscious changes in other aspects of your health too. For instance, prioritise sleep and get 6-8 hours every night. Evidence suggests that skimping on sleep can amp up the levels of your hunger hormone, so it is essential to give your body the proper rest it needs. Staying active is also beneficial for your health.

How to Grow Your Nails Fast
Tumblr media
Introduction to Nail Growth
Nails are not just a cosmetic feature but also a reflection of our overall health. Understanding how nails grow can help in achieving faster and healthier nail growth. Nail growth occurs from the matrix, the area beneath the cuticle. As new cells grow, older cells are pushed out, forming the hardened nail plate.
Factors Affecting Nail Growth
Various factors influence the rate of nail growth. These include diet, hydration levels, and nail care routines.
You can also try this product Pro Nail Complex
Diet and Nutrition
A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is essential for promoting nail growth. Foods high in protein, such as lean meats, fish, and legumes, provide the necessary building blocks for strong and healthy nails. Incorporating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, C, and E can also enhance nail growth.
Hydration and Moisture
Proper hydration is vital for nail health. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps keep nails hydrated from within. Additionally, applying moisturizers or cuticle oils externally helps prevent dryness and brittleness, promoting faster nail growth.
Nail Care Routine
Maintaining a regular nail care routine is crucial for optimal nail growth. This includes keeping nails clean, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using protective gloves while performing tasks that may damage the nails.

Maintaining a Balanced Diet
Ensure your diet includes adequate amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals essential for nail growth. Incorporate foods such as eggs, nuts, spinach, and carrots into your meals to promote nail health.
Hydrating Your Body and Nails
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and nails hydrated. Additionally, apply moisturizers or cuticle oils to your nails regularly to prevent dryness and promote growth.
Proper Nail Care Techniques
Trim your nails regularly to prevent breakage and maintain their shape. Use a gentle nail file to smooth the edges and avoid rough surfaces that may cause damage. Additionally, avoid biting or picking at your nails, as this can hinder growth and lead to infections.

Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a popular supplement for promoting nail and hair growth. It helps strengthen the nail bed and improves overall nail health.

Myth: Frequent Manicures Lead to Weak Nails
While frequent manicures may cause temporary weakening of the nails due to filing and buffing, proper nail care techniques can help minimize damage. Opt for gentle manicures and give your nails time to recover between treatments.
Conclusion
Growing your nails faster requires a combination of proper nutrition, hydration, and nail care techniques.

How To Grow Your Nails Fast
Tumblr media
Introduction
In the pursuit of elegance and grooming, fast-growing nails often stand as a desirable trait. Beyond aesthetics, nails also serve as indicators of our overall health. Understanding the dynamics of nail growth and adopting healthy practices can significantly enhance the pace and quality of nail growth.
Understanding Nail Growth
Before diving into strategies for accelerating nail growth, it's crucial to comprehend the basic anatomy of nails and the intricate cycle of their growth. Nails are composed of keratin, a protein found in the outer layer of our skin and in our hair. This sturdy protein provides nails with their durability and resilience.
Nails undergo a continuous cycle of growth, known as the nail growth cycle, consisting of four stages: the growth phase (anagen), the transition phase (catagen), the resting phase (telogen), and the shedding phase (exogen). Understanding this cycle allows us to grasp the factors that influence nail growth and implement strategies to optimize it.
Nutrition and Diet
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in promoting nail health and growth. Essential nutrients such as biotin, vitamin E, vitamin C, and protein contribute significantly to nail strength and growth. Including foods rich in these nutrients, such as eggs, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and lean proteins, in your diet can bolster nail growth and resilience.

Hydration and Moisture
Hydration is fundamental not only for overall health but also for nail growth. Adequate water intake ensures that nails receive the necessary moisture to remain flexible and resilient. Additionally, moisturizing the nails and cuticles regularly with nourishing oils or creams prevents dryness and brittleness, fostering optimal conditions for growth.
Proper Nail Care
Proper nail care practices are essential for facilitating fast and healthy nail growth. This includes regular trimming and shaping to prevent breakage and maintain a neat appearance. Utilizing high-quality nail care products, such as gentle nail polish removers and moisturizing nail treatments, helps in maintaining nail health and promoting growth.
Avoiding Damaging Habits
Certain habits can impede nail growth and compromise nail health. Nail biting, picking, and using nails as tools can cause damage and hinder growth. Similarly, exposure to harsh chemicals present in household cleaners and nail treatments can weaken nails. Avoiding these damaging habits and opting for gentle, non-toxic alternatives can aid in fostering optimal nail growth conditions.
Nail Strengthening Techniques
Incorporating protective coatings and treatments can help strengthen nails and protect them from damage. Nail hardeners and fortifying base coats provide an additional layer of support, reducing the risk of breakage and promoting growth. Natural remedies such as olive oil soaks and lemon juice treatments also offer nourishment and strengthening benefits for nails.
Lifestyle Factors
Addressing lifestyle factors such as stress and circulation can positively impact nail growth. Stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises alleviate stress-related nail issues like nail biting and promote overall nail health. Regular exercise improves blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients to the nail bed and stimulating growth.

Professional Help
For individuals experiencing persistent nail issues or seeking personalized advice, consulting a dermatologist or nail specialist is advisable. These professionals can assess the underlying causes of slow nail growth and recommend tailored treatments or interventions to address them. Salon treatments such as professional manicures and nail strengthening procedures may also aid in accelerating nail growth.
Patience and Consistency
While implementing strategies to promote fast nail growth, it's essential to remain patient and consistent. Understanding that nail growth occurs gradually and varies from person to person is crucial. Consistently following a comprehensive nail care routine, incorporating healthy habits, and being patient with the results are key to achieving long-term nail growth goals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, growing your nails fast requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses proper nutrition, hydration, nail care practices, and lifestyle adjustments. By understanding the dynamics of nail growth and adopting healthy habits, you can nurture strong, resilient nails that grow at an optimal pace. Remember to be patient, stay consistent, and prioritize nail health on your journey towards faster nail growth.
