Do you have a passion for attractive, great looking nails? If so, then you must be cut for a nail technician job. With that, you certainly hate to see someone else's nails that are out of shape or have cracked old nail polish. 

What exactly does a North Perth nail technician do? Well, she's just the professional who renders cosmetic beauty treatment intended for the nails. When such treatment is performed on the hands, it is called a manicure, while if it's on the feet, then it's called a pedicure.  

Most technicians work in a nail or beauty salon, but today you can get a service done right in the comforts of your own room through a mobile nail technician working in the areas around Perth. 

A basic manicure and pedicure procedure entails the following intricate tasks:

-Filing
-Shaping the free edge 
-Pushing using cuticle pusher and
-Clipping with cuticle nippers any nonliving tissue (referring to cuticles and hangnails) from your nail plate

When everything above is completed, the technician massages your hands and feet before applying nail polish. That's about it and you're done.

Today, however, as fashion and beauty is evolving, this specific beauty treatment now includes the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or the application of small decals or imitation jewles. There are also customers who ask for artificial nail gels, tips or acrylics. Such are referred to as French manicures.  

If you want to become a professional nail technician, observe first how the task is done. But, before calling for service, make sure you only contact the service provider who has the proper license and as such, is qualified to perform the task. 

If your technician is licensed, she has to abide by certain regulations and that includes safety and sanitation. In nail treatment, there's the risk of spreading infection where the skin is manipulated and tools are used across so many clients in just a day. So, you better be careful. 

Nail technician jobs are in demand these days, and further, the work commands a good price. But, you have to go into proper education and training from a certified cosmetology school or learning centre. 

Become an expert in this fun and challenging field of work. Learn everything you need to know about nail art and designs for these are the “in” thing today. Take a cue from any North Perth nail technician near you.

5 Secrets Revealed To Create An Extraordinary Garden

Traditional dentistry focuses more on preventing, diagnosing and treating oral problems. In other words, this practice revolves on addressing dental problems that require necessary treatment. On the other hand, cosmetic  dentistry is more on improving the appearance of one's teeth, smile and mouth. This method will provide elective or desired treatments or services. 

Cosmetic dentistry in Perth can also provide restorative benefits. However, the only difference is that people can select from a variety of fillings. Before, dental fillings are composed of amalgam or gold. Today, they have it in porcelain or other composite materials that will closely match the colour of the teeth, thus, enhancing oral appearance. 

Cosmetic Dentistry Trends

Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-coloured dental materials pave the way for today's cosmetic dental treatments. This movement made this method more durable and predictable compared to the past years.

In fact, there are dentists and orthodontists who are using conservative cosmetic dentistry techniques to preserve the natural structure of the teeth. The treatment will only depend on the situation of the client.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

The different types of cosmetic dentistry treatments are as follow:

1. Inlays/Onlays

Inlays and onlays, also know as indirect fillings, are made from porcelain or composite materials. These will provide a "filling" to the teeth with tooth decay or similar structural damage. 

In contrast to the dental fillings moulded into place with the mouth, inlays and onlays are constructed in a dental laboratory before being fitted. Once you're back on your next visit, a Joondalup orthodontist assigned in Perth will adhesively bond it into place.

2. Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a procedure that will repair all those dentures that chipped, discoloured, broken or decayed. A composite material that looks like enamel or dentin is applied into the cavity or onto to the surface of the tooth. By using a  high-intensity light, it is then sculpted into shape, contoured and hardened. 

There's nothing to worry about because this invisibly blend with the remaining surrounding structure of the teeth. As a result, you'll have dentures that will give a healthy and bright smile. 

3. Dental Veneers

To improve a severe tooth discolouration or a worn appearance, veneers are adhesively bonded to the surface. These composite or porcelain laminates will  correct and repair chips and cracks of your denture. Veneers are also recommended if you are not successful with the teeth whitening, or you have gaps in your teeth. 

4. Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening done in several clinics like in Perth, WA is the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Since teeth are often stained due to dark coloured drinks, food or smoking, bleaching them can improve their appearance once again. This will certainly bring back your pearly white smile! 

5. Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial root replacements used in prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry to compensate tooth loss. Once you undergo this procedure, you'll not only get a beautiful smile, but also a youthful appearance.

6. Smile Makeover

Smile makeovers will involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile aesthetics to improve your overall image. Generally, one or more procedures are needed to achieve the look that you want. Such procedure will include dental implants, dental veers, teeth whitening and gingival sculpting.

7. Full Mouth Reconstruction

A full mouth reconstruction usually happens when your dentist discovers you need a treatment to correct your bite, bone structure, teeth and muscles. Instead of undergoing a smile makeover, there's a need for you to correct your mouth. 

For those who are unhappy with their smiles or colour of their teeth, then cosmetic dentistry is for you. With any Joondalup orthodontist that you trust, you'll definitely have the appearance you want.

There are lots of exciting things one needs to know about the cuisine of Indonesia. People from other races, not only Asians, have come to love the simple but very flavourful Indonesian food in Australia.

As you know, Indonesian cookery has had several foreign influences over the past years-Indian, Chinese, European, etc.  History tells us that the primary purpose of the European's coming to Asia particularly Indonesia, was to search for spices. Such things were a scarcity then in Europe, and were considered a priceless gem at that time. 

Native spices like cloves and nutmeg, abundantly growing in Indonesia, were very expensive back then.  Peanuts were introduced by the Portuguese colonisers. The curries were brought in by Indians and the soybeans and noodles were the Chinese' traders greatest contribution. With all these mixture of cultures, it's small wonder that the food culture of the Indonesians, has likewise, become more diverse. 
 
Further, the waters surrounding such country are teeming with the richness of various marine life. Therefore, expect a bounty of seafood – lobsters, oysters, prawns, shrimp, squid, crab, fish, and lots more. Plus, the country's favourable climate makes it conducive for rice and soybeans to thrive abundantly. 

Drooling now? Wait till you get to a Perth Indonesia restaurant nearby to get a real good taste of such famous Indonesian cuisine. There's more to it than that, though. Fact is, there are basic things you need to understand about their eating culture. Certainly, it wouldn't take so much of your time to get  essential knowledge about the culinary practices of this country.

When eating out, you may notice that most Indonesian restaurants offer main meals with kerupuk, light crackers made from prawns, and a fried egg. Vegetarians should be wary when ordering a meal as there might be eggs mixed into it. A variety of dishes use eggs as their base. If you're a vegan, better ask for meals without eggs. 

In addition, it's commonly practised to use peanut oil instead of the common oil when stir frying. There are certain individuals allergic to peanuts. If you are, just simply ask for a meal that made no use of peanut oil.

Moreover, you can hardly find any Indonesian restaurant around Perth WA that doesn't cook food ahead of time. Preparing food earlier and then served at room temperature is a common practice among eateries. This is to accommodate customers who, more often that not, have irregular eating schedules. 

Another thing is that, Indonesian food is commonly eaten with utensils like a spoon on the right hand and a fork on the left. You can request for chopsticks though, when having noodles. Back in Indonesia, local folks commonly eat their meals with their bare hands. 

Be aware of restaurants where eating with the hands is the norm. Such are located mostly away from the tourist belt and are simply labelled as 'Rumah Makan' or eating house. They give you a bowl of water with lime in which to wash your right hand with while keeping your left hand on your lap. This is to show some courtesy. 

Indonesian cuisine is known for the excessive use of spices, sauces and a wide variety of seasonings. But if you don't want your food strongly flavoured, you can tell the server. Normally, seasonings are provided in small dishes or in bottles placed on the table. 

You are free to choose and season your food according to your taste. If you don't know what the condiments are, especially the sambal, smell it first or better yet, ask your food attendant. 

Lastly, it probably would surprise you a bit to know that there are only five ways of cooking food in any Perth Indonesian restaurant. These are bakar for roasting, rebus for boiling, goreng for frying, kukus for steaming and tumis for stir frying. 

When in Australia, you don't have to wait for long before you can sample an authentic Indonesian meal. Go straight to a Perth Indonesia restaurant near you and rest assured of a hot and delicious meal prepared just for your sensitive palate.

When preparing chicken for meals, we typically chop off the head and feet before cooking the bird. It makes sense. Why waste time preparing the parts people aren't even going to eat, right? Unless you live in Asia, in which case those parts are actually delicacies. 

The chicken's head, not so much. The feet? Bingo. 

Chicken feet are eaten in several Asian countries. The edible tissue of this body part is mostly skin and tendons, with no muscle, giving this dish a very distinct texture. It's tiny bones make it difficult to eat, so they're often taken out before serving. 

The Chinese eat this delicacy as a beer snack, soup, or a main dish. They're typically deep fried and steamed before being simmered in a sauce. In mainland China, they're often marinated in soy sauce and chilli flakes. The Koreans prefer this dish basted in hot pepper sauce and then grilled. It's served as a second course dish with cold alcohol.

Known as ceker in Malaysia, many traditional Malay restaurants serve chicken feet with curry and roti canai, a type of flat bread. Some states boil the feet in soup until the bones are soft, and then serve it with vegetables and spices. In the Philippines, the feet are marinated in a mixture of calamansi (a small, citrus fruit) and brown sugar before being grilled.

If you're curious about this dish, but you're currently situated in Australia (or some other non-Asian continent) no need to go buy a plane ticket. There should be some Chinese restaurants in Northbridge that serve this delicacy. The northern suburbs of Perth are also a good place to look for restaurants or suppliers selling Asian food.

For those gifted in the kitchen; if you're looking to start your own North Perth Asian restaurant, or you just want to know what this dish tastes like, here's a simple recipe for chicken in black bean sauce.

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds chicken feet 
2 tbsp chinese black beans
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster souce
2 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 ginger (sliced into small strips)
3 cups water
¼ cup green onion (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp corn starch (mix with ½ cup water)

1. Prepare the chicken feet by cutting off the nails with a pair of sharp scissors or a knife. Wash thoroughly and drain. Make sure to squeeze out all excess water (you can even use a paper towel to dry them).

2. Pour 1-2 cups oil in a pan. When hot, deep fry the chicken feet until golden brown in colour. (Caution: always remember that hot oil has a tendency to spit and pop. Wear oven mitts if you must)

3. In a separate pan, stir garlic and ginger with oil. Once brown, add the chicken feet, oyster sauce, Chinese black beans, and water. Mix well.

4. Remove mixture and place in a pressure cooker. Cook for about 20 minutes. Once that's done, place the pressure cooker in hot water. Wait for the steam button to release before opening the pressure cooker.

5. If you don't have a pressure cooker, simply cover the pan and let cook until the chicken is tender. This may take a little longer, and the water may dry out. Feel free to add water as needed.

6. Add the brown sugar, the cornstarch-mixed-with-water, and the green onions. Stir for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Serve with chopsticks and enjoy!

Asia is famous for its exotic dishes, and chicken feet just happen to be part of the list of must-try recipe. While the recipe is fairly simple, and the ingredients are pretty common, many cooks love experimenting with the sauce. 

As a result, the chicken feet dish of one North Perth Asian restaurant may taste different compared to another. So explore, and find the taste you enjoy the best.

Asian Cuisine: How To Prepare Chicken Feet

What would you do with those unwanted weeds that start to grow among your lawn grass? It's such a ghastly sight if you let them proliferate. You'll just ruin the beauty of your lawn and garden with those intruders.

According to expert lawn mowers based in Perth WA, start to mow your yard early in the spring as the grasses are still getting started. It helps to get rid of the weeds which are already going through the seeding stage. 

Don't allow the weeds to take control of your precious landscape. There are several practical ways on how to control them and prevent their growth: 

1. Fill in the bald spots. Do it in early spring by sprinkling grass seeds, making sure you also water them. Weeds most likely sprout in weakened areas of your garden. Strengthen such spot by adding fertiliser. 

2. Pull out weeds. Especially, those growing in high temperature areas like walkways, driveways, patios, etc. South and North Perth lawn mowing remind you that these are where weeds most likely emerge, since cool season grass don't thrive in such places. You'd better be quick not to let the weed seeds sprout faster throughout your yard. 

3. Loosen soil where weeds can barely thrive. In contrast, lawn grass has trouble growing on compacted soil. Further, the ground becomes severely compacted where foot traffic is heavy, and this is the area prone to weed growth. Kill the weeds fast before they have the chance of spreading far and wide to other parts of your lawn.

4. Preventing the growth. Managing the pesky weeds is obviously time consuming and back breaking. It could likewise be expensive if you opt to use herbicides. The famous adage, “prevention is better than cure” also applies to lawns. 

Prevention is still safer for the environment as all you have to do is to be on the lookout, stopping weed growth before it begins. This is a much better and cheaper way than terminating the weeds that have started to pop up. 

Nevertheless, if weeding isn't your cup of tea at all, or you're still a neophyte at cutting the lawn, let the professionals handle the job. They would even be willing to teach you how to do it properly on your own. 

Aside from the unwanted weeds, you might also encounter another lawn maintenance problem with some trees growing in your yard. Don't you know that lawn mowers are a tree's worst enemy? 

Obviously, you're hurting a tree if you repeatedly bang your mower against its trunk. The bark has sensitive tissues underneath. Any damage to it can restrict the growth of young trees. If with luck does it grow,  it will surely have a weak base that it easily snaps off in the slightest wind.

How to remedy the problem? Take this piece of advice from seasoned gardeners around Perth WA. Leave a circle of soil without grass that's at least 3 feet wide around the trunk. Arrange some bricks or stones around the outside of the circle. 

But the better way is to cover the grassless soil with a thick layer of organic mulch around 3 to 6 inches deep several distances away from the base of the tree.  That should be enough to protect your tree from being whipped by your cutting machine. 

For ease and convenience, there are trunk protectors and plastic sleeves sold at garden shops although they're more costly. 

After all the cutting, trimming and edging, your lawn will be filled with grass clippings. What to do? Leave them on your lawn. These are organic materials rich in nitrogen and other nutrients, a free way of fertilising your soil. 

Don't follow what others are doing, putting grass clippings in a plastic bag and sending them off to the dump. It might be illegal to do such thing in your area. If you're interested in learning other ways of maintaining a lawn, don't hesitate to call on a North Perth lawn mowing expert near you. 

North Perth Lawn Mowing – Practical Ways Of Maintaining Your Landscape

In October 2013, in honor of Sydney’s Good Food month, several Australian chefs were asked to create dishes that signified Australian cuisine. The results involved European techniques used to prepare native ingredients, coupled with Asian influences, like black bean sauce, or fish sauce. It seems the country’s proximity to Asia has allowed such cuisine to take root deeper than it has in other places. 

Other multicultural countries can’t seem to offer dishes like Japanese tonkotsu ramen or Malaysian char kway teow with the same level of authenticity as in Australian. An Indonesian restaurant in, say, Sydney, won’t necessarily have an Indonesian chef, yet the food will be as close to home as possible. That’s no surprise, then, given Australia’s long-running history and experience with Asian food overall. 

In recent years, the influx of immigrants from Asian countries has revived the market for good and affordable Asian food, whether Indonesian, Chinese, or Middle Eastern. The rise of one restaurant after another had then bumped up the central business district or CBD of various cities like Perth and Sydney.  As it is today, there are quite a number of cuisines that have found their way to Australian shores.

Chinese cooking is the most common, with Cantonese cuisine being the most widespread. Even when there weren’t a lot of Chinese immigrants, small towns typically had at least one Chinese restaurant. Dim sum, for instance, has since evolved and can be unrecognizable as an Asian dish, having become a truly Australian snack. 

Favorite dim sum dishes – also called dim sim or ‘dimmies’ – can be steamed or fried, as is customary, and may be found in both upscale restaurants and food stalls on the street. Other dishes include crispy duck with either plums or oranges, since some restaurants would change the fruit depending on the season and availability; and stir-fried beef noodles. 

Then, there’s Indonesian, which is an amalgamation of different Asian cuisines in itself. Nasi goreng, or fried rice, is a staple in many a Perth Indonesia restaurant. There’s also godo-godo, which is a salad of boiled vegetables like potatoes and string beans plus meat and perhaps tofu, all in a peanut-based sauce. Another must-try Indonesian dish is martabak – pan-fried pancakes stuffed with minced beef and onions. 

Other favorites for people in Perth, and other Australian cities, include the ubiquitous satay or sate, but these skewers of grilled meat can be found in cuisines other than Indonesian. In any case, they’re best served with some kind of dip or sauce, like peanut sauce. A restaurant may sell them as a main dish, if not a side dish.  

Japanese food has also found a place in Australia. The ever-present sushi and sashimi, in various forms, have stayed distinctly Japanese, compared to dim sim. While technically not a dish, wagyu or Japanese beef is constantly in demand because of its tenderness. This makes it a very good choice for steaks as well as boiled, stir-fried, and noodle dishes (because you don’t want to be chewing rubbery beef).  

The tonkotsu ramen mentioned earlier in the article is another crowd pleaser, with a handful of establishments choosing to prepare the broth in the traditional way.
Speaking of noodle dishes, another favorite is Vietnamese cuisine, again making its way to both street stalls and restaurants. Pho is the equivalent of ramen in this regard, usually made with beef broth plus traditional Vietnamese spices. Other variants are available, like chicken and seafood. Pork rolls, bread rolls filled with barbecued pork and chicken liver pate plus pickled vegetables, are another favorite.  

All told, you’re likely to not run out of dining options should you be in Australia and happen to have a craving for Asian food. Whether you dine at a strictly Perth Indonesia restaurant, or one with a variety of cuisines on the menu, it’s sure to be a gastronomic experience you wouldn’t want to miss.
