There’s just something about sun-kissed skin that implies vitality and health — but we all know that spending time outside without the protection of SPF isn’t good for us. But when you’re feeling lackluster, sometimes a dusting of powder bronzer isn’t enough to get the job done, and often doesn’t create the hyper-realistic look of truly glowing skin.

The solution here? Bronzing drops. These clever formulas are little boosters that you can add to your favorite skincare formulas or even apply directly to skin to add radiance and glow, whether you’re looking for something that’ll wash off at the end of the night or last for several days.

What is Information Architecture? | IxDF

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Information architecture (IA) is the discipline of making information findable and understandable. It includes searching, browsing, categorizing and presenting relevant and contextual information to help people understand their surroundings and find what they’re looking for online and in the real world.

IA is used in physical spaces like museums or department stores, as well as in websites and applications. For instance, in a natural history museum, you will find fossils from the Jurassic period exhibited together, just as your favorite packet of chips will always be in the snack aisle of your supermarket.  

Information architecture operates from two perspectives:

  1. People perceive information, products and services as places made of language. 

  2. These places or information environments can be arranged for optimal findability and understandability.

Language in this instance means visual elements, labels, descriptions, menus, content. We can arrange this language so that it works together to facilitate understanding.

How Art Can Improve Your Mental Health

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

When Dr. Frank Clark was in medical school studying to be a psychiatrist, he decided to write his first poem.

“All that chatter that is in my head, everything that I’ve been feeling, I can now just put it on paper and my pen can do the talking,” he said, recalling his thoughts at the time.

Back then, he was struggling with depression and had been relying on a number of things to keep it at bay, including running, therapy, medication and his faith.

“I had to find something else to fill the void,” he said. It turned out that poetry was the missing piece in his “wellness puzzle.”

“I saw an improvement in my mood,” said Dr. Clark, who now sees patients in Greer, S.C. “It gave me another outlet.”

The notion that art can improve mental well-being is something many people intuitively understand but can lose sight of
