Bold and beautiful plus-sized mermaids by Shabinedreams. Fantasy and art at its peak.



It was a lot of fun to explore with these fantasy book themed gowns! I also wanted to share another set I made earlier! Some of these were also influenced by avant-garde runway presentations. There are many more I'd like to post soon that feature a wider range of sizes as well as different ethnicities/cultures.

Also, these were inspired by the book gowns and dream costumes of one of my favorite designers, @sylviefaconcreatricefrance. Their designs are just fantastic!! & they've fashioned a couple genuine book outfits!) Some of these were also influenced by avant-garde runway presentations.

Friendly disclaimer: These fantasy settings were created utilizing mixed media and tools such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Mid journey prompts, and the utilization of RF stock pictures from Unsplash & Pexels.

The time it takes to get burned at home is really short. A sizzling pan on the stove or stepping into a bath that is excessively hot might cause it, which is especially dangerous for those who have diminished sensation in their feet. You can prevent burns by being aware of their typical causes. And knowing what to do right away in case they occur is essential.

Common causes of burns
According to Dr. Colleen Ryan, staff surgeon at the Sumner Redstone Burn Center at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital and Shriners Children's Hospital in Boston, there are a number of prevalent causes of burns, particularly in older adults, and the majority of them are unquestionably avoidable. Here are some illustrations.

Explosions. People who use a home oxygen tank while smoking frequently experience explosions.

clothing that catches fire. " This frequently happens when a person wearing sleeves reaches over a gas burner flame. For many years, that was the main reason why women with burns were admitted to our hospital. Now, guys also experience it, according to Dr. Ryan.

Hot water burns. If your water heater is set to 140°, it will take around three seconds to burn you, whereas 130° will take about 25 seconds. However, if the temperature is set to 120 degrees, it takes nine minutes. According to a study from the journal Injury Prevention that was made available online on March 7, 2023, from 2016 to 2018, these scalds resulted in more than 52,000 trips to the emergency room and more than 100 deaths.

Burning at home. Careless smoking or unattended candles may be the cause of these.

  

Types of burns
Based on how deeply they pierce the skin's surface, doctors categorize burns.

The first degree of burns is regarded as superficial. They are red and unpleasant, only affect the epidermis of the skin, and often go away in a few days. "The epidermis can regenerate itself, so if it is injured, it can fully regenerate and doesn't scar," Dr. Ryan explains. An example of a first-degree burn is a sunburn.

First-degree burns initially resemble second-degree burns, but later blisters appear. The burns, which affect both the epidermis and the dermis, the deeper layer of skin, are extremely painful while they are open and exposed to air. Scar tissue replaces them after a longer healing process.

When both the epidermis and dermis are damaged, a third-degree burn results. This frequently happens in vulnerable places, like the back of the hand. Because the nerves have been destroyed, the burned area isn't painful in and of itself, but the nearby skin frequently feels uncomfortable. "These burns heal very slowly over time, and only if they are very small and the skin can grow from the edges," Dr. Ryan explains. If not, surgery is required to close them.

Everywhere you look, there are warnings: the coffee you're going to drink is hot! There will be construction! This item may contain peanuts!

The reasons for these cautions are often obvious. However, cautions can sometimes generate more issues than they solve. When I was at the gym lately, these warnings in bold red text on the exercise bike and treadmill were difficult to miss:

  • Before commencing any workout regimen, have a medical exam.
  • Excessive activity might cause significant damage or death.
  • Stop exercising immediately if you feel faint, dizzy, or in pain.
What did "any exercise program" precisely mean in the warning? What exactly is overexercise? Is it necessary to stop working out if you have any pain?

Finally, I wonder if these cautions create undue anxiety, discouraging individuals from exercising.

Is it okay to start working out without consulting a doctor?

Most of us don't need a doctor's consent. The majority of people can start an exercise routine safely at a low level and gradually increase their efforts over time. Select activities that would enable you to have a discussion, like:
  • utilizing manageable, low weights for you to lift
  • Taking it easy when walking
  • slow (less than 5 mph) bicycle riding
  • Balance and stretching exercises
  • mild housekeeping or gardening.
If your level of fitness is modest to begin with, gradually increase your routine. For instance, if you begin by walking for 10 minutes each day, gradually increase your stroll by one minute every week or two. Once you've been walking for 20 minutes a day, consider increasing your pace a little.



Who needs to exercise caution?
Exercise is undoubtedly dangerous for people with specific medical issues. If you're worried about your health or have any of the following conditions, it makes sense to consult a health care provider for exercise advice:

Coronary artery disease, which includes angina or prior heart attack symptoms. Too much exercise too quickly could strain the heart and result in a heart attack or a risky heart rhythm. Until it's obvious that you can handle more, lower-intensity exercises (such as quick, easy walks) could be preferred.
 
asthma brought on by exercise. Just before or during activity, your doctor may advise using an inhalation medication to open up the airways in your lungs.
 
such as a metabolic myopathy, affects the muscles. Your doctor might advise against doing specific workouts, such as long-distance running or sprinting.
 
back ache. For those with back problems, low-impact exercises like biking or swimming may be preferable to high-impact ones like jogging or basketball.

Owners of dogs are likely to have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than non-owners, according to research. Having a canine friend may help avoid high blood pressure and may help those with the condition better control their blood pressure, according to a study that was published in the August 2022 issue of Current Hypertension Reports.

And according to data published in the October 2019 issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, people who own dogs are 31% less likely than non-owners to pass away from a heart attack or stroke.

In the event that you experience a heart attack or stroke, having a dog may prolong your life. Another study published in the same issue of Circulation revealed that among those who experienced a heart attack or stroke, dog owners had a 33% lower mortality rate in the 12-year period following a heart attack and a 27% lower death rate after a stroke than those who did not own a dog.

Due in part to the ritual of daily walks, dogs encourage their owners to be more active, which may help enhance heart health. In fact, studies show that people who own dogs walk for an additional 20 minutes each day on average compared to those who don't.

Stress reduction
Ever ponder why it is so enjoyable to pet a dog? According to a study that was made available online on October 5, 2022, by PLOS One, interacting with dogs in particular stimulates the prefrontal cortex of the human brain, which is involved in controlling emotions. Additionally, petting increases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, and lowers cortisol, the stress hormone. Long after the dog has left the room, the effect may still be felt.

Dogs can also show us how to practise mindfulness to reduce stress. Dogs focus on the many smells, sights, and sounds of their surroundings while out for a stroll because they are present in the now.


Dogs can even serve as therapists. There's always someone to chat with when you have a dog, since they make excellent listeners. Additionally, most dogs are adept at interpreting body language and picking up on your emotions. A dog may occasionally sense your distress and leap up onto your lap or sit next to you out of the blue.
