Death is a difficult time for everyone in a family, as well as for friends, coworkers, and for loved ones of the person who has passed away. In many cases, you are not sure where to start. Do you call a family member, do you tell others, and plan for the funeral, or do you wait some time in order for you to grieve? Do you need to start planning right away, where do you want to have the funeral, and what type of service do you want?

Hiring a transport company is a lot easier than many people realize. Even when transporting a car over thousands a mile, the process is easier than driving it yourself. When looking for a car transport company, there are many questions concerning auto-transport. You need to consider some crucial factors before hiring a shipping company to transport your car. The article below provides the basics of transporting a car from one point to the other.

Car transport is safer

There are many reasons why shipping a car is safer than driving it yourself. First, driving through interstate highways is riskier than you think. However, a shipping company has been using the same routes over and over again. They have the necessary skills to safely navigate through those routes. Also, they understand when the roads are affected by dangerous weather conditions. That way, they can avoid accidents by using defensive driving skills.

There is less damage to your car

Hiring a transportation company means your car won’t wear and tear. If you have an old car, those thousands of miles can have a huge impact by adding up to repair costs. While driving yourself can be fun, there is a need to hire a car transport company when moving to a new state or wants to sell your car. 

It’s cheaper to ship a car

Shipping a car means you will only pay for transportation costs. If you drive by yourself, you will incur many costs such as accommodation, food, gas, tolls and more. If you add up the total costs, you would have to spend more than hiring a shipping company.

Asking the right questions will help find the right car transport company

You should hire a company you are comfortable to work with. To learn more about the company, prepare a list of questions you need to ask them. Some of the common questions include:

  How long have you been in the industry?

  How long will you take to ship a car?

  Do you offer updates about a vehicle location during transportation?

  What additional services do you offer?

  Do you offer insurance?

You should avoid the idea of interviewing over the phone. A reputable transport company should give a representative to do quotes. 

The cost of car transport will vary

Many factors determine the final price of shipping a vehicle across the states. The model of your car will determine the shipping cost. Do you want it transported in an enclosed trailer or open? What about the distance? Such kind of factors brings variations in terms of final pricing for your car.

In this fast-paced world, every minute of the day counts as we try to fit all our tasks into our short window of time, all while looking presentable and kept together doing it. Adding a little lipstick to your daily look may make you feel like your life is more put together than it is, but touching up every few hours while you may be late (or always late) to summer classes or work can be a hassle.

Choosing the Right Type of Lipsticks and How to Maintain

How long your color lasts really boils down to the type of lipstick you’re wearing. You have an array of choices when it comes to types of lipstick that stay on for long periods of time. 

Matte is a known long lasting lipstick, as it goes on creamy and dries matte. It is perfect for a professional look as it does not pop with a distracting shine but still keeps a deep, rich color. It is notorious for drying out lips, so make sure your lips are properly moisturized and exfoliated before applying. Matte takes a little more maintenance throughout the day than others so keep a compact mirror and your lipstick on hand for touchups. 

Liquid lipsticks are a recent phenomenon that has many benefits. As long as you have a steady hand, you can get the precise shape you want due to the way they are applied, so you may not need a lip liner. Liquid lipstick might be your best option if you just want to get up and start your day with some color and little touch-up. As they settle into place, they can be drying, so be diligent to keep those lips moisturized. 

Your longest lasting option would be lip stain. Lip stains are packaged in a few different ways: roll-on, gel tube with an applicator, a tube with marker-like tip. most are made with alcohol so they set very quickly and can stay on all day with little to no touch-ups. The only downsides are the lack of color options for most brands of lip stains compared to other types of lip color, and due to the ingredients, they have a high possibility of drying out lips. 

If your lips tend to dry out easily, it is best to opt for more traditional cream lipsticks. Making these last requires a bit of work. As always, make sure your lips are moisturized and exfoliated. Before you apply, always put on lip primer to give the color something to adhere to, and lip liner to keep the color from spreading onto the skin outside of your lips. Finally, to keep everything in place, set with a translucent powder. 

When eating, avoid greasy and saucy foods or foods buns that can wipe off the lipstick you worked so hard on applying and protecting. Try to use straws instead of drinking from cups or bottles as the liquid and friction from your drink’s container can rub off your lipstick as well.
