Men Request More Fashionable Medical Scrubs and Nursing Scrubs
Many medical and nursing scrubs companies have added a new line of scrubs to their collection - men's scrubs. Nursing scrubs manufacturers worldwide have received requests from medical personnel around the globe to help men look better at work.
Because medical uniform retailers should always take into consideration the requests that come in from hospital staff, nurses, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, and anyone in the medical field who is required to wear nursing scrubs and/or medical scrub hats, many small companies have began manufacturing their own medical scrubs. For example, looking at current fashion outside of medicine, a small Austin-based company decided upon a slightly flare-legged, slimming scrub bottom that sat lower on the hips, similar to 7 for All Mankind low rise jeans.
Taking into consideration that rarely do women wear jeans with just one pocket in the back, the scrubs company placed two stitched pockets on the backside, which immediately created a leaner look than other scrubs. And, rather than the unflattering elastic waist-band, they added a coordinating ribbon that ties at the waist. Designing the nursing scrub top was simple - a tapered shirt for women always looks better than a boxy shirt, and with one stitched pocket on the upper left-hand side of their flattering scrub top, they released their first line of medical scrubs, now known as Original scrubs. The first color, ceil blue, was so popular that navy, black, and grey were quickly added. While watching many scrubs companies add new colors almost quarterly, men have realized that they were being neglected in medical fashion.
The design process for the specialty men's medical scrubs took almost a year to complete. But finally, the men's scrubs bottoms now feature a low rise pant and also are made with the same soft, wrinkle-resistant fabric that is also used for the women's designer nursing scrubs. With one pocket in the back and a classic white tie in the front, the scrub pants are bound to turn heads. Men may not care for stitching and a tapered top, so the pocket on the top left-hand side of the shirt is sans stitching and the scrub top is not tapered. Even without the stitching, these medical scrubs are still more fashionable than the hospital scrubs that are currently available through other companies.
After finally releasing scrubs for men, many nursing scrubs manufacturers found that their fashionable men's scrubs were out of stock almost immediately. The once small hospital uniform company wasn't sure how the line would do once it was made available through the website. However, they began receiving both compliments and requests. Many men have expressed interest in having the custom-stitched pockets, so this is something that may be offered in the future, along with expanding the currently available colors. Grey is the most popular color for men's scrubs. The design teams are always working hard, trying to keep up with the demand. Rumor has it that the next product release from small specialty scrubs companies will be a special line of nursing scrubs made specifically from the requests of nurses who love the designer scrubs, but also need strategically-placed pockets at the bottom of the scrub top.
Urth Skin Solutions for Men Scrub Review
Urth Skin Solutions for Men Scrub is designed as a deep cleansing scrub that gently scrubs away dead skin cells and blackheads. It also improves skin texture and unclogs pores. Urth Scrub is packed with herbal extracts, essential oils and vitamins to leave your skin feeling moisturized, revitalized and renewed.
I've used facial scrubs before to help rid my face a dead skin cells and blackheads that sometimes form on my nose. But most of the ones I've tried were way too intense for my dry skin and felt as though the abrasive ingredient was 60 grit sandpaper. Most of them left I face feeling raw instead of renewed. So for a while I shied away from face scrubs, opting to use face washes instead. But when the owner of Urth Skin Solutions for Men recommended I try there face scrub and see how I like it, I was definitely game to give it a try.
The Urth Scrub intrigued me because it is unlike any facial scrub that I've seen before. Not too many facial scrubs have all natural ingredients like Green Tea, Rice, Walnut Shell Powder, Wheat Germ and Lavender oil just to name a few. Quite the lineup!
So I opened up the tub of Urth Face Scrub and opened the protective seal. Immediately I noticed that it has a rich earthy green color to it, almost like facial mask. You can see just by looking at it that is packed with tiny scrubbing pieces that are made up of walnut shell powder. The next thing I checked for was the scent of Urth's Scrub. To my delight it had a clean earthy scent with a mild hint of menthol.
So I wet my face with warm water help open my pores as the directions stated. I used my finger to get about a dime sized amount and placed the scrub in the palm of my hand. I used three fingers to apply it to my face and buffed it into my face and neck in a circular motion as described in the instructions.
While applying the scrub there was no doubt that Urth was not stingy with the abrasive ingredient. I could feel the abrasive ingredient all over my face even though I only applied a very small amount.
By the time I had applied it to my face and neck I noticed that I only used a third of the dime sized amount I had in my palm. I thought that I would have to use a whole lot more of the Urth Scrub to cover my entire face and neck, but that was not the case. I can tell from the amount that I needed to use for one application that Urth Scrub goes a very long way. I would venture to guess that a 4 ounce tub of Urth Scrub would last at least six months to a year using it two to three times a week as is recommended.
The next step was to rinse my face and see how it felt. I was a little worried that it might not rinse cleanly as it is a rich and creamy scrub, but with only a few handfuls of water splashed onto my face the scrub had rinse completely away. A big plus in my book!
So now on to the important part. How did Urth??s facial scrub leave my face feeling? Smooth, Soft, Refreshed and Clean are all words that come to mind. I was a little worried that the scrub would leave my face a little dry after I used it. But after thoroughly scrubbing my face, rinsing it off and drying it, my face felt wonderful. It was not dry in anyway, it felt silky smooth and extremely soft. To be one hundred percent honest I have used face washes that have left my skin dry, and for a scrub with an abrasive ingredient to leave my face feeling moisturized is astonishing.
In conclusion I have to say that Urth Face Scrub is the best facial scrub I have ever used to date. Urth uses some of the highest quality ingredients known to men??s skin care and formulated them into an ultra premium scrub that will leave your face feeling exfoliated, clean, soft and moisturized. It will also remove any dead skin cells that can cause your face to look dull and blah.
I would definitely recommend Urth scrub wholeheartedly to each and every one of my customers. With how great it works and how little you have to use the scrub will be extremely hard to beat by anyone. Now I know why it flies off of the shelves. Great Job Urth!!!
P.S. Looks like we are missing one tub from our inventory. I wonder how that happened:-).

Finding Medical Scrub Uniforms That Fit
If you're in the medical field, you may spend more time in your medical scrub uniforms than out of them. You need scrubs that are comfortable for long shifts, but also scrubs that make you feel good about yourself while you're on the job, and ill-fitting medical scrub uniforms won't fit the bill. Some medical professionals have one go-to brand that they know fits best, but others may have a harder time finding that perfect fit in medical uniform scrubs.
With many scrubs retailers in the online world, you often don't get a chance to try before you buy. This article will provide tips on finding the perfect set of medical uniform scrubs to fit your body type when purchasing from an online scrubs retailer. You can do this with a few simple tools and by looking at some of your favorite clothing in your existing wardrobe, and if you don't have measuring tape, that won't be a problem, either.
First, the fabric of the scrubs should be something that you're comfortable in. Look at your favorite out-of-work wear, and take a peek at the tags to see what kinds of fabrics make up those pieces. It's likely that with the wide variety of medical scrubs uniforms on the market you can find something similar, and many online scrubs retailers will list the fabric types in the medical uniform scrubs description.
Next up, it's time to get to measuring. If you don't own measuring tape, a piece of string or yarn and a marker will work just fine. Picture an hourglass to remember the correct way to measure: fullest, slimmest, fullest. Wrap the measuring tape or piece of yarn around the fullest part of your bust while you're wearing undergarments you'd likely wear with scrubs. If you're using yarn or string, wrap it around and either keep the place with your finger or mark it with a marker, and then compare that length of yarn to a ruler or yardstick. A yardstick works best. Record your bust measurement.
Now it's time for the waist measurement. Measure at the thinnest part of your waist, and record that number. For hips, it's back to measuring the fullest part, so wrap the measuring tape or yarn around the widest part of your hips and record that number, as well.
For scrub pants, length is important, because you don't want the scrub hem dragging on the hospital floor, but you don't want to look like you're ready for a flood, either. You can find the right length by measuring your inseam. Choose your favorite scrub pants or even a favorite pair of jeans, and measure down the inside seam from just below the crotch to the hem of the chosen pants. That will be your inseam measurement.
Now you have the numbers you need. Check out online scrubs retailers. Each medical scrub uniforms manufacturer has somewhat different sizing, and good online retailers will provide sizing charts for each brand they carry. Compare the numbers you have to the sizing charts for the different brands of scrubs, and also keep the fabric choices in mind. If your measurements for bust, waist and hips are 39-32-43, respectively, you'd likely be a size large in IguanaMed scrubs, for example. Certain online sellers will also give you other measurements, such as center back length, the length of the garment from the top center of the back neckline to the bottom of the hem. This measurement will give you and idea of where the scrub top will hit on your hips.
Some online scrubs retailers will also give you pointers on how the scrubs fit, and whether they're meant to be baggy or more form-fitting. Take note of those suggestions so you're not surprised when the medical scrub uniforms arrive at your door.
By taking a few minutes to get the correct measurements, you may find that dream set of scrubs that you've been seeking.
What Color Are Your Uniforms Scrubs?
If you are a medical professional, odds are pretty good that you wear a pair of scrubs to work every day. As the days, weeks and years of wearing your uniforms scrubs wears on and on, you could tend to get a little fed up with the same old type of scrubs. Well as luck would have it, scrubs nowadays are becoming more and more fashionable. There are more and more styles, colors and patterns to choose from, making your daily uniform wearing a little more bearable.
If you are one of the lucky medical professionals that get to actually choose what color of scrubs you get to wear, then the options are limitless. The only question you have to ask yourself is: what is my style? You may see yourself wearing a leopard print scrub top. Or you might fall on the more conservative type and would rather wear a pair of scrubs with a less loud motif, such as polka dots or flowers. If those patterns don't jump out at you, you could choose rather to wear a pair of scrubs that have a paisley or butterfly pattern. Whatever your style may be, there are many different styles to choose from when it comes to choosing a set of patterned scrubs.
If you prefer to wear a solid set of scrubs, there are many options to choose from as well. Scrubs are offered in a wide range of colors from coral, turquoise, light blue, yellow and even eggplant. If you want pair of scrubs with a little more style, they have solid scrubs with detailed trim and stitching. You could purchase a set of brown scrubs with pink trim. Or you could even buy a set of scrubs with an embroidered waistline. They have scrubs that have ruffle trim or even a mock wrap neck. If you are looking for something that is a little plainer but still has style, they have scrubs that have an empire waist.
When it comes to shopping for pants, we all know that that is not an easy task, so let's also not forget about the different styles of scrubs pants as well. If you don't like the way you look in traditional scrubs, you now have more options. You can purchase scrub pants that are boot cut or flare leg. You can purchase the regular old drawstring scrubs or you can even buy a set of cargo pants. They even have scrub pants that look like they are a pair of colored jeans rather than cotton scrubs.
If you are looking for a set of more unique scrubs, then be sure to check out a scrub catalog. You might just be surprised at what you will find out there. There are numerous places for you to purchase your scrubs, so make sure you find the right pattern and style that suite your needs. When it comes to actually wearing your stylish scrubs to work, make sure to mix and match the style of your shirt with the style of your pants. You will have many more options this way when it comes to looking in your closet.

Mary Jo Catlett, Willow Geer to star in Colony Theatre's BELL, BOOK & CANDLE - Broadway World
The Colony Theatre Company is thrilled to present its third and most magical production of its 36th season, BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE, written by John Van Druten and directed by Richard Israel (Merrily We Roll Along), making his Colony Theatre directorial debut. BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE will preview on Wednesday, October 20; Thursday, October 21; and Friday, October 22 at 8:00pm and will open on Saturday, October 23 at 8:00pm and continue through Sunday, November 21 at The Colony Theatre, 555 North Third Street (at Cypress) adjacent to the Burbank Town Center.
Before there was Bewitched, before Wicked and Harry Potter, there was BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE. Gillian is a beautiful witch living in 1950s New York City who is smitten with her handsome upstairs neighbor. She casts a little spell, and he is immediately and completely captivated by her. But Gillian must be careful - if she falls in love with him, she could lose her magical powers forever. Will she be undone by her own mischief? A frothy and spellbinding romantic comedy, Bell, Book and Candle shows that love might be the most bewitching spell of all.
The award-winning Colony Theatre Company was founded in 1975 as a 99-seat Equity-waiver theatre in Silver Lake. Over the years the company was so successful artistically, and built such a large subscriber base, that in 2000 it was able to move into a 270-seat theatre created for it by the City of Burbank, becoming one of only 5 mid-size professional theatres in the LA area that produce a year-round season of plays and musicals, and that employ actors under contract with Actors' Equity Association.
Since the move to Burbank, The Colony was named one of "25 Notable U.S. Theatre Companies" by the Encyclopedia Britannica Almanac for 8 years in a row and voted "Best Live Theatre in LA" in The Daily News 2006 Readers' Choice poll. The company's audience is so loyal that in an era when subscription is declining dramatically, and when the industry-wide "gold standard" renewal rate of 80% is considered unattainable, for the past two seasons The Colony has achieved a subscription renewal rate over 90%.
ABOUT THE CREATIVE TEAM
John Van Druten (Playwright) is primarily known as a witty, urbane observer of modern society. He was born in London in 1901 and originally planned a career in law, which he practiced and taught for a time, before pursuing a career as a writer. He first came to prominence in London in 1925 with Young Woodley and enjoyed tremendous success in the 1930s with star-studded West End productions of his work including Diversion (1928), After All (1929), London Wall (1931), There's Always Juliet (1931), Somebody Knows (1932), Behold, We Live (1932), The Distaff Side (1933) and Flowers of the Forest (1934). Van Druten later emigrated to America where he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1944. His best-received American works were The Voice of the Turtle (1943), which ran for three seasons in New York and was later filmed with Ronald Reagan; I Remember Mama (1944), later filmed with Irene Dunne and Barbara Bel Geddes; Bell, Book and Candle (1950), later filmed with Kim Novak and James Stewart; and I Am a Camera (1951) which together with Christopher Isherwood's short stories Goodbye to Berlin formed the basis of Joe Masteroff's book for the Kander and Ebb musical Cabaret in 1966. In additional to playwriting, van Druten directed the last nine productions of his own plays, and in 1951, he directed the first production of The King and I, which ran for 1,246 performances on Broadway.
