Sira Print Custom Die-Cut Stickers How to Best Use

· 14 Comments

A small business branding secret: Sira Print Custom Die-Cut Stickers make generic items into brand boosting goods.

Balancing family and business? Some moms are entrepreneurs, busily building a small (or not so small!) business.

How Can I do small business branding on a budget?

Branding your business is key. And a great way to do that is with eye-catching print designs.

So we were intrigued to see a printery that can do ANYTHING, including printing your custom design.

Their name is Sira Print and we tried out their custom die cut stickers. It’s easy! Take a look.

Meet Sira Print! They print custom vinyl decals of your custom design, including custom-cut edges!

About Sira Print

There are lots of online printers with a dizzying array of design options.

Sometimes the design feels perfect for your business or project. Other times it is just okay.

But it is never exclusively yours, plenty of other businesses use those same designs as well. Maybe even your competitors! Sira Print helps your brand stand out.

Sira Print creates all kinds of stickers:

  • Cut out shapes including kiss cut.
  • custom sizes.

Any design you can make, they can print including:

  • formal
  • funny
  • sweet
  • offbeat

So we were excited to try them out and report our experience.

Sira Print custom die cut stickers are not your run of the mill decals. They are made of high quality, durable vinyl.

They are:

Even when I fold the stickers, they don’t scratch, wrinkle or bubble.

Sira Print also does Kiss Cut Stickers and custom clear stickers.

How Sira Print Works

Ordering is easy!

Choose a design or photograph you already have, or create a new one. Full-color graphics, monograms, logos, or text. Replicate a photo, your artwork, or other design.

design

The hardest part for me was choosing my design!

  • It is easy to upload your company logo or other custom design. Both PNG or JPG images uploaded just fine.
  • But if you don’t have a logo or other design at the ready, there are lots of free stock images and fonts available, monograms, and logo creators to make an image for your stickers.
  • Don’t have Photoshop or another image editor? No problem, Sira Print has recommendations for you.
  • I did my design in Photoshop with a downloaded font. But any image editor you can save a quality png or jpg works.
  • I applied a Slightly metallic texture Photoshop Style to my text that I put in a foliage wreath design from a free stock photo website.
  • There are also monogram and logo generating programs.
  • And if you are particularly talented this is a great chance to show off your artist skills!
  • of course, your business logo or wedding theme element will work great here.

Unlimited font choices

Here is something we especially like about Sira Print: You are not limited to a printers fonts typesettings choices – they can print any font you want!!. whether MAC or PC, purchased, downloaded from free fonts or type foundry sites.

Use any font, in any language, even using glyphs, umlauts, and ligatures.

The sticker customization process lets you choose the sticker size, including the custom size of your choosing.

Choose one of their standard sizes or indicate a custom size.

Add custom size to accommodate long designs

TIP: If you are doing a custom cut cutout shape sticker, get a slightly larger size to accommodate your design.

The custom size is especially helpful in incorporating stickers into DIY projects. Also, consider a larger size sticker for cut-outs so the focal image stands out.

Choose how many stickers you need ranging from 50 to 1,000.

A unique feature of Sira Print is custom increments. Need exactly 107? Sira Print lets you order in any increment you need. You don’t need to order an increment of 25 and have 16 spares just for that extra seven.

  • custom cut
  • rounded corners
  • oval/round

Upload your image and you are ready to checkout!

Sira Print is goof-proof

Oops! I meant to upload my transparent png but uploaded a white background jpg instead!

When I realized, I wondered if they wouldn’t know what I wanted the cutout design to look like. But Sira Print soon sent me this PDF proof and it showed me exactly how it would look. It was just how I wanted it, but if it wasn’t, I could make any adjustments needed.

Here is part of the design proof Sira Print sent prior to production

Sira Print emailed me this Production Proof before printing.

I approved the design, and Sira Print got to work on my stickers!

It is sticker day! A few days have passed, and today my stickers arrived in the mail. Not bad since it custom prints then ships from Niagara Falls.

My Sira Print order arrived in a padded bubble mailer.

NoctoPlex Clinically Formulated Sleep Formula Dietary Supplement for Adults

· 6 Comments

Need to optimize sleep, but prefer natural to pharmaceutical options? NoctoPlex Clinically Formulated Sleep Formula is a drug-free, comprehensive sleep formula. It has safe and effective sleep support ingredients. It re-establishes sleep cycles without side effects like daytime drowsiness.
NoctoPlex is a drug-free, non-habit forming sleep remedy

NoctoPlex is a natural, drug-free, non-habit forming sleep remedy

Can’t sleep? You aren’t alone.

Sleep disturbance can lead to impairment in social, occupational, educational, and academic functioning. Stress, health issues, or working long hours impair sleep and reduce next-day functioning. Estimates say losing 90 minutes of sleep at night results in a reduction of daytime alertness by as much as 32%.

Sleep Hygiene measures are helpful. But they aren’t always enough to restore meaningful sleep. The pressure to achieve is often at the cost of adequate rest. Once a poor sleep pattern starts, it is difficult to overcome without some intervention.

About 40% of insomniacs have used over-the-counter medication or alcohol to induce sleep. Approximately one-quarter have used prescription medications. [1] It is important to talk to a doctor about chronic sleep disruption.

Whatever the reason you can’t sleep, NoctoPlex Clinically Formulated Sleep Formula can help. It is non-habit forming and drug-free.

NoctoPlex contains safe and effective ingredients like Magnesium, melatonin, and Vitamin Bs

NoctoPlex contains safe and effective ingredients like Magnesium, melatonin, and Vitamin Bs

About NoctoPlex

NoctoPlex Clinically Formulated Sleep Formula promotes sleep in five ways.

  • It addresses vitamin deficiencies that impair sleep, including those responsible for sleep cycles.
  • It contains natural remedies for sleep-disrupting discomforts that may keep you awake. This includes indigestion and inflammatory-based minor muscle and joint pain.
  • It calms stress to enable relaxation without hangover sedation
  • It helps you get to sleep faster and stay asleep

The vitamins in this formulation are proven to work synergistically to support sleep. For example, it contains Magnesium, melatonin, and Vitamin Bs. A research study found that: 3 months of the Magnesium- melatonin-vitamin B complex supplementation has a beneficial effect in the treatment of insomnia regardless of cause. 2]

This formula also contains L-theanine, an amino acid from green tea that helps ease stress.

L-theanine has “anxiolytic effects via the induction of α brain waves without additive and other side effects associated with conventional sleep inducers.” [3]

Let’s take a closer look at this drug-free formulation.

The NoctoPlex Supplement Facts list

The NoctoPlex Supplement Facts list

INGREDIENTS

Vitamin C

Low vitamin C levels are also associated with shorter sleep cycles. [4]

C reduces stress hormones that impair rest. It helps protect from sleep apnea risks including cardiovascular complications.[5]

Vitamin C promotes the absorption of key ingredients in this formulation.

Vitamin B6

The B Vitamins help support sleep cycles, sleep hormones, and tryptophan levels. [6] B deficiencies disrupt sleep. Many women are deficient in certain Bs.

Vitamin B6 supports B12 function.

B6 and Magnesium help PMS related sleep issues. It also is a coenzyme that supports GABA functioning with the Central Nervous System, closely associated with sleep.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 regulates sleep cycles.[7] Deficiencies can cause insomnia and even depression.

Pantothenic Acid (B5)

B5 deficiencies are associated with sleep disorders.

Vitamin B5 helps maintain a healthy digestive system. It assists the body to use vitamin B2, which helps manage stress.

Pantothenic acid also corrects sleep disturbances due to muscle aches and cramping.

Magnesium

Most sleep-promoting nutrients cause relaxation of tiredness, but few enhance sleep and relaxation. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and it induces deep sleep. Magnesium also reduces some types of nerve pain and headaches.

If our Circadian rhythms are dysregulated, it increases magnesium excretion. If not corrected, this leads to a Magnesium deficiency [8].

Studies show Magnesium supplementation improves sleep efficiency, sleep time, and sleep onset [9].

Zinc

Magnesium and Zinc are vitamin buddies. Magnesium regulates zinc levels. Zinc enables magnesium absorption.

Zinc is a dietary trace metal important to Central Nervous System function. It is involved in many processes including cell signaling and modulation of neuronal activity [10]. This includes those related to sleep and wakefulness.

Zinc is a sleep modulator. It improves the quality of sleep and helps reduce instances of waking up during the night. It is believed to activate a signaling pathway that is responsible for the promotion of sleep.

One study showed very short sleepers (defined as less than 5 hours a night) ingested less zinc than normal or long sleepers. [11]

Zinc is also relaxing. It eases muscle cramps and tightness that can disrupt sleep.

Melatonin

A natural sleep hormone responsible for sleep-wake cycles.

We learn much about this important hormone from the blind. The blind often have sleep disturbances because their internal clock can’t discern daylight. It isn’t just a sleep problem, it is a 24-hour out-of-sync problem:  tired during the day and wide awake at night.

Studies show that regulated Melatonin supplementation resets the circadian rhythms of the blind. [12]

L-Glycine

L-Glycine is an amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter involved in sleep function. The body makes L-glycine and it is found in eggs, dairy, meat, and fish. It both calms and alerts the brain, which is why it is helpful to sleep patterns. It helps build protein, collagen, and aids in digestion. It also reduces unhelpful inflammation, including that related to minor aches and pains.

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

L-theanine comes from green tea

L-theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea.

Ever feel relaxed after a good cup of tea? There is a good reason. It has anxiolytic, or anxiety-reducing, effects. Anxiolysis is required for the initiation of high-quality sleep.

L-theanine is also believed to have some neuroprotective abilities. [13]

In an eight-week, open-label study, l-theanine was found to be safe and beneficial for depressive symptoms, anxiety, and sleep disturbance. Unlike some prescription medications, it is relaxing but not sedating. Also, cognitive functioning and next-day alertness were not impaired. [14]

This formulation uses Suntheanine which is the trade name for a patented pure form of L-theanine.

Pineapple extract is a natural exfoliator

Pineapple contains bromelain, it reduces inflammatory pain.

Bromelain

Bromelain addresses some discomfort that may disrupt restful sleep.

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from the flesh and stem of the pineapple plant.

Bromelain reduces inflammation and swelling by breaking down the inflammation-causing molecules within the body. [15]

It eases digestion, soothes muscular or joint pain, and reduces allergies or asthma. [16]

Cyracos Lemon Balm Extract

Cyracos Lemon Balm Extract is from a plant within the mint family. It is traditionally used as a calming and soothing agent that can uplift a mood. It is frequently paired with Melatonin.

It may be taken within a tincture or tea, but has proven effective in precise doses in supplement form.

A study combined 80mg of Lemon Balm with Valerian to treat insomnia and restlessness. Of the 918 children in this study group, 80% had improved sleep function. Over 70% had reduced restlessness and anxiety. There were no adverse side effects. [17]

It is also used to calm digestive issues that may disrupt sleep.

Lemon balm

Valerian Root Powder

An herb that promotes sleep and is a natural anxiety reliever. It has been used in Europe for centuries. Regular use improves sleep onset.

A review of study literature reports improvement in sleep quality, relaxation, and how long it takes to fall asleep. [18]

Research supports its’ sedative effect results from calming excess GAMA and Central Nervous system activity. It is preferable to other sedatives because Valerian has no hangover effect. [19]

Valerian Root

Valerian Root

The Experience

Take two tablets 30 minutes for bedtime. The effect is relaxed, but not knock-down sedated. The collective impact of the natural anti-inflammatories eases muscle aches which makes it easier to be comfortable enough to go to sleep.

These are hard tablets but they are coated and easy to swallow. They have soft rounded edges to make it easier to take. There is no overt after-taste or smell. They are shown below next to a nickel for scale.

The next day, there is no day time drowsiness, dry mouth, or “hangover” feeling. The cumulative use after a few days is especially helpful for magnesium and other ingredients to take optimal effect.

NoctoPlex provides natural sleep improvement without a hangover feeling the next day

The Bromelain in this formulation reduces digestive discomfort & inflammatory joint pain that can disrupt sleep.

Expert Interview: Inventors of the NEWA At-Home Skin-Tightening Device

· 10 Comments

This article is an interview with EndyMed, the inventors of the NEWA at-home skin-tightening device.

Joseph Lepselter, the VP of Clinical Affairs graciously answered Style Chicks’ questions about how to best use the NEWA device for skin-tightening, Radiofrequency, 3DEEP technology, collagen production, plus tips and tricks for NEWA users.

The NEWA Plus Wireless Edition

What to Know About NEWA At-Home Skin-Tightening Device

When an at-home use device promises skin-tightening, we’re intrigued.

When the device is from ENDYMED, makers of professional skin-tightening equipment for medical offices, you have our full attention. 

Got NEWA questions? Us too. And NEWA answered them for us. Read our interview with NEWA, the device for at-home skin-tightening.

What is NEWA?

Skin-tightening from home is an appealing prospect. It is easy, discrete, and works on your schedule.  Several devices claim to provide skin tightening.

But not all technologies are created equal and therefore don’t deliver consistent results.

NEWA was developed by ENDYMED – a global leader in medical aesthetics, and the 3DEEP radiofrequency energy that powers the NEWA is the same professional medical technology used by dermatologists and clinics worldwide.

NEWA technology has been clinically proven by over 40 independent clinical studies that set it apart from other devices.

But before you buy any anti-aging device, how do you know it will work?

The Interview: Your Newa Questions Answered

Joseph Lepselter, the VP of Clinical Affairs at EndyMed graciously answered Style Chicks’ questions about NEWA:

QUESTION:

How does RF (Radio Frequency) technology work?

ANSWER:

“NEWA, is powered by our professional medical grade 3DEEP radiofrequency technology which is the same technology that powers our ENDYMED treatment platforms used by Dermatologists worldwide.

Our 3DEEP RF technology delivers controlled energy deep into the skin tissue, reaching the dermis skin layer, stimulating the natural production of new healthier collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin fibers are essential components of the skin which gives your skin shape, lift and support. The collagen fibers are responsible for skin strength and tone. The elastin fibers allow skin flexibility and elasticity.”

QUESTION

How does the patented 3DEEP technology produce collagen in the skin?

ANSWER

“The 3DEEP technology cause microscopic thermal wound that heats the dermal collagen, which stimulates wound healing, dermal remodeling and new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid formation.”

QUESTION

What kinds of improvements can NEWA users expect?

ANSWER

“NEWA is clinically proven to increase collagen in the skin by an average of 36% which results in a visible reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles and an improvement in skin texture and firmness.

The results build gradually because the body is actually being “trained” to produce higher levels of collagen and elastin, which is why our recommended treatment protocol for the first month is 4-5 treatments. After that, you can move down to maintenance treatment 2-3 times a week. The results are long lasting and accumulative which means they get better over time.”

QUESTION

What areas can the NEWA treat?

ANSWER

“Our recommended treatment areas are the upper cheeks (which extends to the crows’ feet area), lower cheeks/jawline, and under the chin (turkey waddle area).

To treat around the eyes, you must treat the skin over bony areas only, be careful not to get too close to the eyes and not to treat over the eyelids.”

QUESTION

The NEWA website shows the before/after results of areas such as the forehead and throat. Are these also treatable areas?

ANSWER

“I don’t believe we have photos of the throat area but rather under the chin/upper neck area. That area has been clinically tested and responds very well to RF skin tightening.

The forehead was not one of the areas that were clinically tested but we do have NEWA users that treat their forehead with great results.”

[Editor’s note: He is correct. The photo we perceived as throat improvement, upon closer inspection, was indeed the lift and tightening of the upper neck/chin/turkey waddle area. This gave an appearance to us of improved draping of the entire neck and throat area skin.]

QUESTION

What age group benefits the most from using NEWA?

ANSWER

“We tend to see more dramatic results with the 35-65 year-old age group.”

QUESTION

How does NEWA compare with in-office procedures such as Thermage, Ultralift, or Thermatite?  How does it compare to invasive procedures?

ANSWER

“The technology behind NEWA is widely considered safer and more effective than any other RF technology available today, whether that be a home use device or an in-office treatment like Thermage.

This is because our RF technology is multi-source, phase controlled RF which means that it’s more efficient at focusing the RF energy to the exact target area which provides better results than bi-polar or mono-polar RF technologies.

Compared to invasive procedures, the upside to NEWA is that it’s safer (non-invasive), there’s no downtime or bruising, and the results are more natural looking. The downside is that the results are also more subtle compared to a surgical facelift.

Another point to consider when comparing to any in-office procedure, whether it be surgical or non-invasive is the difference in price. These procedures cost thousands of dollars while NEWA is a fraction of the cost.”

 

QUESTION

Any special tips or tricks for NEWA users?

ANSWER

“Yes. Stick to our treatment protocol.

Our treatment protocol is the result of numerous clinical studies that all indicated that the first month of treatment with NEWA is the key to optimal skin tightening results.

For the first month you’ll want to do between 4-5 treatments per week. Make sure that your NEWA is blinking green halfway through your treatment because that’s the indication that the heat level is effective.

After the first month, you can move down to maintenance treatments 2-3 times a week.  But trust on this – the first month protocol is something you want to follow through on.”

QUESTION

How does the NEWA activator gel enhance the treatment?

ANSWER

“Working in tandem with your NEWA device, it conducts the RF energy into the dermis while keeping the surface of the skin cool to avoid discomfort or overheating.”

Use the Lift Activator gel with the Newa device

NEWA comes with the NEWA Lift Activator Gel:  Use the Lift Activator gel with the Newa device

QUESTION

Which is better: moving the head in bigger or smaller diameter circles? Faster or slower rotation?

ANSWER

“Smaller diameter circles with slower rotation; however, as the area of concern is smaller, the movement should be faster. The key is to make sure you’re reaching optimal heating levels. Keep and eye on the blinking LED light on the top of the device. When it turns green, that means you’ve hit your goal.”

The LED indicator light will turn green during use.

The LED indicator light will turn green during use.

QUESTION

Is there anything else NEWA users should know?

ANSWER

“We always recommend taking a photo of yourself before you start using NEWA and then another after 1 month. That way you can compare your before and after and keep motivated to maintain your results. It’s easy to overlook gradual changes for the better but photos don’t lie.”

Thanks to Endymed and Joseph for taking the time to share this very helpful NEWA intel with us!

They also regulate important cardiovascular, nerve impulse and immune system functions. They fuel your body and keep everything running as it should. Are you feeling sluggish, lacking focus or energy? Vitamin B deficiencies are often the cause. Surprisingly, not all B supplements contain all the essential Bs. Vita Miracle Ultra Vitamin B Complex contains ALL the essential Bs. This is important because of the synergistic way the Bs work in tandem to support and enhance each other.

Want to better understand why a B Supplement with all the essential Bs is important? Here is an overview of what each of the B Vitamins in Vita Miracle Ultra Vitamin B Complex supplement does.

Supplement Overview

  • B1 is Thiamine, which handles the breakdown of glucose, turning food into energy. It also is part of nerve impulse regulation.[1] A Thiamine deficiency can cause a loss of appetite, depression, and nausea. Over time, it becomes serious and affects the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems. Deficiencies can cause permanent damage if not addressed. B1 is difficult to get within vegan diets. Tea, coffee, raw fish and shellfish deplete Thiamine. [2]
  • B2 (Riboflavin) helps proteins function.
  • B3 (Niacin) regulates cholesterol. A Niacin lack causes anemia and tiredness. B3 reduces the rate of new nonmelanoma skin cancers and actinic keratoses [3]. Niacin may be beneficial in treating psoriasis. [4, 5]
  • B5 (Pantothenic Acid) synthesizes and metabolizes proteins, carbs, and fats to make energy. It contributes toward softer skin.
  • B6 (Pyridoxine) turns food into energy
  • B7 (Biotin) maintains blood sugar levels. Biotin is in many hair growth supplements because it helps hair cells reach full growth cycle, or attain maturity. Biotin deficiency symptoms include brittle hair, hair loss, dry skin, and skin cracking on the corners of the mouth.
  • B9 (Folate or Folic Acid) is involved in DNA, red blood cell, and RNA production. Folate prevents anemia. Anemia causes one to be excessively tired and function poorly. It can also cause hair loss, weak nails, dull skin, and dark undereye circles.
  • B12: Many women have low B12 levels which results in health and beauty problems. This risk of a B12 deficiency increases with age. Some problems include headaches, fatigue, weight gain from a slower metabolism, brittle hair, dull skin, and weak fingernails. Severe B12 deficiencies can cause depression and impair nerve function. Low B12 also makes one feel mentally groggy. Taking B12 makes one feel more energetic and improves the mood.

The B Vitamins work together to support processes that impact hair growth. These include signaling the body to grow hair and keratin production. The B’s process iron which is vital for healthy hair.
