Bridal Shower Decorations with Pizzazz

By Lyne Doxley Trying to think up just-the-right items to use as bridal shower decorations? Sometimes the perfect dcor comes from things we know about and use everyday, but for some reason, havent thought about to use in a bridal shower. Weve put together a few ideas that will turn a shower into something special dcor items for that perfect touch of classic elegance or playful panache, depending upon how you use them. Candles, Candles, Candles When thinking bridal shower decorations, dont overlook the use of candles. Using candles in lieu of or along with traditional lighting rises to the top of the list as one of the favorites of brides-to-be when considering decorations with whomever is throwing their shower for them. Candles work wonderfully to not only set a relaxed ambience among shower guests with the tranquil way they light a room, but they also pull double duty when scented types are used. Theres nothing that positively affects mood quite like a pleasing fragrance, and that, coupled with the atmosphere created by the lighting effects, make candles an ideal choice as part of a bridal shower-decorating scheme. Use tapers, floating candles, and pillars in groups of odd numbers threes, fives, sevens, and so on, depending on how large an area you wish you illuminate. Another trick to keep in mind for using candles as bridal shower decorations is to place the candle groupings in front of mirrors. This creates twice the relaxing effect and also doubles the light. Always use candles all the same color or at least all in the same family of colors. For instance, you might use different shades of reds with light pink, dark pink, and red or colors in the light-to-dark brown family: champagne, ivory, light chocolate. AhFlowers! Fresh flowers are bridal shower decorations that have long been held as a favorite among bridal shower planners. The critical factor is that they must be fresh never artificial. Artificial flowers have found themselves at the top of the list of the most disliked dcor by nearly everyone from professional interior decorators to casual, do-it-yourself party planners. So keep your good taste at the forefront by using only beautifully real, just-cut, fresh-as-you-can-find flowers in any type of home or party decorating plan. You dont have to spend a bundle on fresh flowers, either. Buy those that are in season and look for less-expensive flowers, like daisies or daylilies. Save the roses and exotics for the actual wedding and still make the bridal shower decorations something really special by grouping the flowers in inexpensive, beribboned pots or vases. Use them as the centerpiece along a buffet table, here and there on tables and shelves, and somewhere in the entranceway to greet shower guests in a freshly fragrant (or non-fragrant, your choice) way. Candles and fresh flowers are just a couple of ways to make bridal shower decorations something to remember. Get together with friends and relatives and brainstorm among yourselves to come up with ideas that can be classical or casual, elegant or entertaining. The main thing to remember is that the shower should be fun relaxed, happy, and a good time for not only the bride-to-be, but for all!

What Being Best Man is All About

By Mike Bromley Being a best man is like many duties you will undertake in your life no problem (even enjoyable) if you are fully prepared. Before we begin lets take a quick look at the origins of the role. The duty of best man can be traced back to Anglo-Saxon times where a man who wanted a woman from another village as his bride would take along a trusted friend to help kidnap the poor girl (beats paying a dowry!) and then the best man would provide protection at the wedding, by standing guard to the right of the groom at the alter (keeping his sword hand free) from aggrieved relatives trying to reclaim the family member. Others attribute the origin of best man as a Gentlemans second at a duel a trusted companion who would off support (and probably first aid) as his friend tried to shoot/slash his foe. You will be pleased to hear that the role of best man nowadays doesnt include the probability of a fight (though Im told is does happen). The role of best man today is an altogether more genteel duty. Essentially you are there to assist the groom in the planning preparation and running of the wedding. Some of you duties may include Organising Transport Renting Tuxedo / Morning Suit Supervising the Ushers / Groomsmen. Planning the Stag Party Delivering a quality speech. Getting the happy couple onward to their honeymoon Remain at all times charming and unruffled. If you have been asked to be a best man, dont be nervous its one of the great things to do for a good friend.

Wedding Rings

By Elsie Gilbert Wedding rings dont tend to get the public airing that they deserve, in your average wedding celebration. However, wedding rings are likely to be worn for the rest of the bride and grooms living days, so they are, arguably, the most important element of the wedding accessories. Wedding Rings The Basics Wedding rings are exchanged as part of the ceremony, normally as vows are said by both parties. The guests do not normally see the wedding rings until after the ceremony is well and truly over, so it can be tempting to skimp on this element and save money. Bear in mind that the bride will almost certainly wear her wedding ring alongside her engagement ring. It is essential, therefore, that they both rings work together well. This is particularly important if the engagement ring is of an atypical shape or with a particularly large stone. Always consider your everyday jewelry. Although it is possible to accessorize on your wedding day to complement you choice of wedding rings, this ring will be worn every day, for many years, so it must fit in well with your general style. This is equally important for the groom, as he too will have to wear the ring for some time, so he should also consider what would go well with his usual attire. Contrary to popular belief, it is not essential to choose golden rings. If you prefer silver colored rings but want to retain the quality, why not consider white gold? It is also possible for the bride and groom to have different styles of ring, so do not feel pressured into selecting matching styled rings. Wedding Rings Ideas for Slashing the Budget Whilst you want the best wedding rings possible, you do not need to spend a small fortune! Often, wedding rings are passed through the generations, particularly on the male side, so find out whether this is the case so that you can avoid the time and energy of searching for the perfect wedding rings! When you are selecting an engagement ring, it may be possible to negotiate a discount on wedding rings, if they are purchased at the same time. Another possible option is to consider using cheaper wedding rings for the ceremony itself and to purchase the more permanent wedding rings, at a later day. The real point of this is to spread the major expenses weddings do not come cheaply! A great way to make cheaper wedding rings look unique is to have them engraved with your wedding date and your initials. With a little imagination, wedding rings can truly look magical, without costing the earth! Elsie Gilbert offers great insights to all different types of wedding ceremonies, wedding styles, wedding accessories. From traditional to the exotic she makes it easy for the bride and groom to review and choose.

Balance Computation Methods: How Interest is calculated on Your Bill

By Rachel Nava When it comes to figuring out how the interest is calculated in your bill you are going to want to read the rates and charges section of the credit card company that you are through. There is more than one way for a credit card company to calculate your interest. You may have to pay interest on an average daily balance. When you are paying on the average daily balance you are going, to be paying interest on what you complete balance for each month and averaged out with the amount of days that are in the month. There is times that this method could be an advantage for you if you are not one that charges a lot onto your credit card all the time. You could have signed to an adjusted balance for your interest fees. With the adjusted balance you are pretty much not paying on the present charges for the billing cycle but you are going to be charge an interest rate for the previous balances that you have carried over. You may be getting charged interest on a system called previous balance finances. With the previous balance, you are able to avoid any finance charges for any present charges if you pay on the balance before the end of there billing cycle. That is going to be a good advantage because if you are being paid in the middle of the billing cycle you will be able to pay the balance down as much as possible so you can avoid the high interest fees at the end of the month. The only other way that credit card companies charge interest on the accounts is with the two-cycle balances. This is where the credit card company will charge you interest twice in the billing cycle so that you will end up paying more in the end if you are not careful on how they are charging you. No matter what the credit cards method of calculating your interest you can always call the credit card company and ask for a description of how they are calculating the interest on your account, if you cannot figure it out your self, they are there to help you out with your questions. There is plenty of times that they credit card companies are even going to put the calculations on your bill each month so that you could have a little easier time figuring it out on your own. Rachel Nava recommends Find Credit Cards for finding an HSBC credit card.

When to Fly Old Glory

By John T Jones, Ph.D. You want to know what days to fly your American flag, dont you? Well, maybe not if you fly it every day. Every morning my wife takes our flag out to the front yard, attaches it to our telescoping flagpole and runs it up. I usually watch her do it through the window. If it is really cold, I feel sorry for her and sometimes go out and give her a hand. Once in a while I dont want her to go out there and I sneak out and get the flag up before she does. I sell flagpoles at my web sites. I recently set up a new site called http://www.aaaflagpoles.com. The triple AAA is to get it in front of other flagpole sellers. Im so clever. Well, Im not sure it works since most people dont know my new site exists. Be that bold pitch as it is, you need to know the special days for flying the flag in case someone asks you. You will be a font of knowledge. Here are the days according to one of my flagpole catalogs: New Years Day: to start the year right. Third Monday in January: to honor Martin Luther King January 20: because it is Inauguration Day. February 12: To honor Abraham Lincoln. Third Monday in February: to honor George Washington. Easter Sunday: to honor the Easter Bunny. Second Sunday in May: to honor your dear mother. May 15: fly your flag at half-staff to honor police officers killed in the line of duty. Third Saturday in May: to honor the armed forces. It’s Armed Forces Day. Last Monday in May: fly your flag at half-staff until noon to honor our war dead, and then run it all the way up. It’s Memorial Day. June 14: this is Flag Day. Third Sunday in June: to honor your father. July 4: to honor our country on Independence Day. July 27: to honor me and other Korean war vets. First Monday in September: because its Labor Day. September 11: fly your flag at half-mast because it is Patriot Day. (Anyone know what this means?) September 17: to honor the Constitution. Last Sunday in September: to honor Gold Star mothers who have lost their sons or daughters in war. Second Monday in October: because it is Columbus Day. October 27: its Navy Day. First Tuesday in November: because its Election Day. November 11: because it is Veterans Day. Fourth Thursday in November: its Thanksgiving Day. December 7: to honor Pearl Harbor Day. December 25: to honor Santa Clause. You may have special days in your state to add to this list. In Utah for example, the pioneer company leading the Mormon migration landed at Pioneer Park on July 24, 1847. Some of my family dragged in a few months later. Now you know why we fly Old Glory everyday. Its a lot easier than trying to remember all of these dates. You can leave your flag up all night too if you shine a light on it at night. Then you never have to take it down unless it is not a storm flag and you want to keep it dry. Fly Old Glory! The End John T.

Why Use a Weight Management Program?

By Diana Ketchen Eating and living healthfully, of course, involves more than just counting calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. An active lifestyle is an essential component to a good diet. But just what is a good diet? A diet that promotes good health is, first of all, a diet you can live with. It is relatively low in fats (particularly saturated fats), low in cholesterol, moderate to low in simple sugars, high in complex carbohydrates and fiber, and adequate in water, vitamins, and minerals. The caloric content of a good diet is enough to allow you to maintain a regular exercise program in addition to providing for daily activities. As much as possible, naturally occurring foods are chosen over processed foods. A healthy diet includes a variety of foods, and few foods are banned or off limits. The hallmark of a good diet is moderation. This means keeping food portions moderate, forgoing second helpings, minimizing inappropriate snacking, and not overdoing consumption of alcohol, sodium, salt, and caffeine. Moderation means now and then allowing yourself a little bit of the less healthful things you like to eat and most of the time making healthy choices. When you are about to make a food choice, ask yourself Is this good for me? If it is a healthy choice, allow yourself to enjoy it. If it is less than healthy, eat a smaller portion. Next time, make the healthier choice. For those wishing to pursue a non-diet option, learning to eat in moderation is a good choice. Learning to eat in moderation is important for lifelong success with weight control. Diets that severely restrict calories to less than 800 to 1000 calories per day affect metabolism. When you go on a very low calorie diet, your body doesnt know you want to be a size 8. It reacts as if you are about to starve to death; so it does what it can to preserve life. The body responds to severe caloric restriction by decreasing the rate at which it burns calories. This decrease in metabolism can be as high as 30 percent, and the effect can begin within twenty-four to forty-eight hours of starting this kind of diet. Even if you lose weight on a very low calorie diet, when you go off it you can regain weight rapidly if you increase your caloric intake too quickly. Although metabolism is believed to rebound, it takes time for this to happen, making you more vulnerable to regaining the weight you have lost. The best way to lose weight is to combine moderate caloric restriction with regular exercise. But just what is moderate caloric restriction? A good guideline for most people is to reduce caloric intake by about 300 calories a day and increase energy expenditure by 200 to 300 calories per day. The actual daily caloric intake level that will produce a weight loss for you depends on your metabolism, your level of exercise, and how much weight you need to lose.

Through her personal experiences with issues such as weight loss, depression, perimenopause, pms, colon cleansing, acne, and other common ailments she started her own website called Natural Health and Herbal Remedies.

Sandalwood Oil - Aromatherapy For The Mind, Body, And Spirit

By Misty Rae Cech, ND Sandalwood is one of the world’s most widely used essential oils, prized for its scent in perfumery, for its therapeutic effects in Chinese, Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine systems, and for its ability to center the mind in meditative yogic traditions. Sandalwood essential oil is most often extracted via steam distillation from the wood of the Sandalwood tree, with the heartwood of the roots producing the highest quality oil. Sandalwood is an evergreen, growing to a height of 9 meters, with leathery leaves and small purple flowers. Native to southern tropical Asia, the tree is parasitic, gaining its nutrients from one of several other tree species. Because it can only be grown this way, and due to its seemingly strict set of environmental conditions, Sandalwood is difficult to propagate. To add to the challenge of successful cultivation, Sandalwood takes nearly 30 years to mature before yielding oil of any worth. Sandalwood essential oil has a woody, balsamic, sweet and slightly musky aroma; it is a pale yellow, greenish or brownish liquid with excellent tenacity (the aroma tends to last a long time) and superior fixative properties. There are several varieties available, with Santalum album is considered the most important therapeutically. The Mysore region of eastern India is thought to produce the highest quality of this oil type, though its harvesting is creating a strain on the area’s natural environment. Recently, an oil of the austrocaledonia species has been produced on the South Pacific island of Vanuatu from successfully cultivated Sandalwood trees. This oil has a fantastic aroma, with a woody, smoky scent that can remind one of being at the beach - an excellent base note in perfume and cosmetic blends. In the West, Sandalwood oil is perhaps best known in the west as a natural, woody, sweet body perfume used ‘as is’, or as a familiar aroma in many cosmetics, aftershaves and the like. In the east, however, Sandalwoods importance in cultural and spiritual traditions cannot be overstated. The wood is carved into furniture, religious icons, used to build temples and burned as incense in a great variety of ceremonies. The oil is used to anoint the dead, helping their transition to the next life. In Burma, women sprinkle it on passersby on the last day of the year for the release of sins. In Hindu marriages, Sandalwood is burned in a tent such that the smoke surrounds the bridal couple. For the meditative yogi, the oil and incense encourage a serene state of mind, supporting alignment of the individual with the universal Self. In the traditional Indian medicine system of Ayurveda, Sandalwood is valued for it’s ability to cool the fire of pitta. It is indicated for inflammatory conditions, such as inflamed skin, or intestinal and genitor-urinary conditions that require cooling. Modern aromatherapy considers the oil an effective skin care agent for dry skin, general irritation and acne; it can help in cases of bronchitis, catarrh, dry persistent coughs, laryngitis and sore throat; it may relieve diarrhea and nausea, and can be supportive in cases of cystitis. Beyond the physical body, Sandalwood essential oil is a great tonic for the hyper-active mind. In practical terms, the oil is considered an anti-depressant through it’s ability to relieve hot, agitated emotional states, and to assist in release from over-thinking and worry. More esoterically, the aroma is considered ‘divinely sweet’ and softly balsamic, characteristics which evoke the grounding of the Earth element. It is said to release one from the ‘tyranny of the intellect’ which can cloud one’s true nature, bringing about a more serene state unifying body, mind and spirit. From this quiet, unified state comes forth the true creative mind, finding infinite possibility in the here and now. It is in this peaceful, unified state where meditation can affect profound transformation. Recommended essential oil blends for calming the mind are as follows - these can be used for general massage, reflexology, or applied to pulse points and temples: For ‘obsessive’ thinking, try four (4) drops of Sandalwood and two (2) drops of Vetiver in one tablespoon of carrier; for a detached analytical state try three (3) drops Geranium, two (2) drops Sandalwood and one (1) drop Patchouli in one tablespoon of carrier. These blends can also be created for use in a diffuser by omitting the carrier oil. For a great perfume also with soothing qualities, combine three parts Sandalwood and two parts Vanilla oil - the blend produces a wonderful tropical island aroma. Finally, Sandalwood is one of the few essential oils which improves with age. Due to increasing demand, the oil’s price is climbing significantly every year - it can be worthwhile to purchase a little more than you think you’ll need immediately, as storing it for some time will only result in a richer oil in the future. Of course, samples are also a great place to start, as you can first find a Sandalwood that truly suits you.

How To Choose The Right Wedding Videographer

By L Hayes One of the best ways to help you, family members, and friends remember your wedding is by having a video of the entire event created. While many couples rely on family and friends to record the wedding day using camcorders, you should consider the services of a professional videographer. These professionals will shoot video that comes complete with titles, editing, the correct lighting, and many other factors that create the perfect wedding video. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right wedding videographer. The price of hiring a videographer varies. The more time the videographer spends filming the wedding and reception, the more it will cost. Keep in mind that angles and coverage are important. Therefore, you should consider the number of cameras you want filming your wedding. While it may seem like one camera would be sufficient, using multiple cameras will provide several different points of view. As an example, two cameras at your wedding could focus on both the bride and grooms’ faces during the ceremony. As a final product, the videographer will splice the angles together, giving you close-ups, guest reactions, and other things that might be missed with just one video camera. Editing should be considered as well. Since not all wedding videos are created equal, neither are wedding videography professionals. The truth is, editing capabilities are what sets one professional apart from another. Even so, excellent editing takes time. To ensure you end up with an incredible video, it is essential that you avoid trying to save money on the editing process. This way, you will have a video that looks very similar to a professionally shot television program. Unfortunately, finding a good editor can be tricky. Depending on the videographer hired, he or she may do the editing or it might be sent out to a second professional. For this reason, you want to ask every videographer interviewed to provide you with samples of their previous work. This way, you can see for yourself what the final product looks like. Of course, a part of the interviewing and selection process should also include references. When you ask for references, make sure they are wedding specific, not references for birthday parties, family reunions, and so on. In summary, hiring a videographer may seem like a simple matter, but there is a vast difference in the type and quality of services offered. A good rule of thumb is to know the kind of video you want. For example, a simple one-camera view or multiple angles like on TV will vary in price. Knowing this information ahead of time will help with your overall decision. Remember, you do not have to be a professional to hire a videographer but doing some research and checking references will be a key to your success.

Attracting Clients With Incremental Marketing

By Stuart Ayling Do you ask prospective clients to go too far? Must your new clients take a leap of faith when they engage you? Or do you gradually draw them closer using a series of pre-planned contacts designed to address their concerns and build their trust in you. Too many service providers wait for potential clients to take that leap of faith. And in doing so, they force their would-be clients into making an all-or-nothing choice. Prospects either say, Yes, we want you or they never contact you. This is a high-risk strategy for both your prospect and yourself. It is risky for your prospect because they could feel as though they have to make a decision before they feel comfortable about working with you. They havent got to know you yet. Do they have all the information they need? How do they know if they do? Its a risky position for you because all your effort in attracting a prospect is hanging on this one all-or-nothing decision. Have you spoken with your prospect and impressed them with your insight and expertise? Have you had a chance to understand what your prospect really wants to achieve? Probably not. A more effective way to attract clients is to create a path of contact points. At each point you give your prospect a reason to proceed to the next point. I call this Incremental Marketing. When you practice incremental marketing your focus should be on helping your prospects make incremental steps towards engaging you. At each step you build trust, enhance your credibility, and answer any concerns. Get them to take the next step, not a leap of faith. With this approach youll also have the opportunity to explain how you work with clients and suggest the best starting point for that particular prospect, such as signing an agreement; conducting an evaluation or assessment; interviewing key stakeholders; making an appointment; conducting a demonstration etc. Incremental marketing is about creating a structure for prospects to make smaller, safer steps towards finalising a commitment with you. The path of contact points will vary from business to business, depending upon on the services you provide, and the type of clients you are working with. Examples A business management consultant may create this path: 1 - Article published in industry journal. 2 - Link to web site for more information. 3 - Contact page on web site (or a phone call/message from prospect). 4 - Personal contact #1 - initial discussion with prospect over telephone (or in person); and arrange appointment for detailed meeting. 5 - Send supporting documents (such as business profile or report). 6 - Personal contact #2 - meeting with prospect in person. 7 - After meeting provide service agreement, notice of engagement, or additional detail as required; suggest starting point. 8 - Client agrees to commence. A computer support technician may create this path: 1 - Referral from client or networking contact. 2 - Personal contact #1 - by phone. Ring prospect to: 2a - Request meeting. 2b - Provide introductory information/background. 3 - Send additional written information via post or email (a report, profile, or link to web site information). 4 - Personal contact #2 - meeting with prospect. Discuss the clients computer environment; suggest a System Diagnosis as a starting point to identify areas that need attention. 5 - Client agrees to commence. Remember, in most cases prospects are looking to minimise their risk in choosing a service provider. They want to feel secure with their decision. Incremental marketing helps you to work with human nature, instead of fighting against it. Dont force prospects to take a leap of faith to choose you, because usually they wont.

Flirting Tips for Men: Mastering the Art of Online

By David Kamau Flirting online can be difficult. This mainly is because flirting has always been physical, involving body language such as eye-contact, smiling etc. Flirting through a modem therefore poses a certain challenge. But it can be done. Flirting is an art that requires oozing confidence without being OTT (Over The Top). Many of the same things work for online flirting as in “brick and mortar” flirting. A delicate balance born of insight as well as experience is still required. Why? Well, go too far and she will label you “slimy”. Don’t go far enough and she will label you “wimpy”. So how do you achieve that point half way between slimy and wimpy and do it online without using eye contact or body language? 1. Have fun! Flirting is playful. Be light-hearted, funny and entertaining. But, don’t go too far with humor at the beginning. Try to gauge what kind of humor you can get away with. 2. Keep it simple. Use short emails or messages, and day to day conversational language. 3. Ooze confidence. Successful flirts have a positive outlook on life, which is often infectious. You need to transmit the “feel good” factor. Women have always been attracted to confident, optimistic men. 4. Listen to her. Pay attention to what she says and ask appropriate questions. Successful flirts often use their “third ear”. What is that? It is listening beyond what is spoken, or in our case, reading between the lines of her messages. Make her feel like she is interesting and that you are interested in her. 5. Compliment her. And be sincere. Nothing opens doors like making her feel good about herself. Look for something unique or subtle to compliment her about. Beautiful women often grow tired of being told they are beautiful. 6. Avoid sexual overtones. Flirting does not have to include being sexual suggestions and innuendos: this might actually turn her. 7. Send an email after you chat. This ranks right up there with sending a thank you note for a gift and it is vital to successful online flirting. Take it slow. Don’t try to go too fast. Remember you are only a click away from being shut out. Done right, online flirting can be the first step to a successful and long-lasting relationship.
