often referred to in Eastern cultures as the possessing a beginner's mind

Taking The Leap,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots
Every four years, February gives us a whole 24 hours of bonus footage to add to our year. Many people take this opportunity to "do something special" with their extra day,How to Command the Respect of Your Team. But why wait for Leap Day? Why not celebrate the "leaps" and risks we take every day when we venture outside of our comfort zone or work to improve our lives?
Of course change, especially life-altering change, is bone-shakingly frightening sometimes. The whole concept is fraught with a veritable minefield of "what ifs" that can be hard for us to see and get past in order to reach the destination point where our dreams lie. So I offer you the following "what ifs" along with some answers to help you take that leap, whatever it may be, and land safely on the other side!
1) What if I suck?
So suck. I'm a big fan of sucking. Being awful at the outset (often referred to in Eastern cultures as the possessing a beginner's mind) keeps you from getting cocky and is the ideal state from which to achieve perfection; those who think they don't suck often believe, incorrectly, that they have no more to learn. One of the things that I learned a long time ago is that it is often better to be a blank slate upon which those who are there to teach you can write than to come equipped with prejudices, techniques and ways of doing things that are inappropriate or even destructive to the new situation and that have to be unlearned before any real progress can be made. Learn to love your inner doofus. It's one of the things that keep you from stagnating at your current level of achievement.
2) What if get there and I hate it?
So hate it. It's hardly the end of the world. In fact, many cultures and religions believe that we're put here in this life to experience and enjoy all of the vast range of human experience, including being miserable and other negative emotions. And some people, such as writers, artists, musicians and the like, actually look forward to such times as a way to accumulate top-shelf material for their next project. So feel free to feel bad - revel in it, if you will - and then when you get bored, move on to the next amusement ride of life and give someone else a turn at whatever you were doing.
3) What if I love it so much that I'm torn about stopping to have a family, going to school, running off to join the circus (or whatever your previous long-term plans were)?
As the saying goes, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans for tomorrow". Plans have a way of becoming either "traps or scraps" as life has its own way with you. They can be traps by virtue of making you feel obligated to follow them, especially if you have "sunk costs" like a degree, family expectations or a long career invested in them, even when you no longer get any enjoyment out of that way of life. And they often end up scrapped when unforeseen circumstances blow us so far out to sea, as it were, that we no longer have any hope of paddling back to that particular shore in our lifetime. When that sort of event occurs in the absence of any real alternatives, the loss can be as devastating as a death. Learn to arrange your life so that you will enjoy it even if your long-range plans never come true. Then, when and if it's the right time to head out after your original goals, you'll have a great foundation to build on.
You should also learn to distinguish between "planning for" and "planning to do". If you have a goal you'd like to accomplish or reach one day, plan for it (stay healthy and take your vitamins if you want a family,children, save for tuition if you'd like to go to school, sharpen your tumbling skills if the circus is your raison d'etre, etc.), but don't worry so much about planning to do it, such as engaging in the process of creating a step-by-step 5-year plan - and then dealing with the attendant stress of not meeting your arbitrarily established milestones should life intervene, as it is wont to do. You'll know when you get there that it's time to start actively working toward your goal, assuming life doesn't take you in an entirely new direction before then, and by that time your life will may changed so much that quite probably none of your previously generated plans will be relevant anyway. Trying to fit your life into an established plan despite its protests to the contrary causes untold sorrow and pain. Live the life that makes you happy today, tomorrow and everyday, and let your long-term plans stretch and bend to accommodate your life rather than the other way around.
4) What if I get depressed, sick, lost, confused, etc. and can't keep up with the requirements of this new venture?
So don't keep up - fly, fall, wallow, soar, bounce, flop. It's just more material and more experience! Again - when you get bored, move on, move up, get medical or other help if necessary, and let someone else get on the ride.
5) What if I'm too lazy, too set in my ways, too undisciplined, eccentric, etc., to be a "player"?
Work with yourself, not against yourself. It's called working smarter, not harder. They make big ol' honking posters about it and stick them up on in break rooms everywhere. Learn to work with your strengths and around your weaknesses to get the most done with the least amount of effort and you'll be a step ahead of the rest of the floundering, struggling, gasping pack expending all their generative energy swimming upstream trying to do it the "right" way!
6) What I decide I want to do this, and then can't get a high-enough salary, make money at it, get famous, make it a success (or whatever your preferred form of compensation may be)?
Well,what does your brain forget to remind you, you could kick the guys in accounting in the shins and swipe their wallets while they're down, but that's really a short-term solution.
Remember, money doesn't always come in the form of money. Company cars, laptops, benefits, etc., can all be part of a corporate package and they don't hurt the guys in accounting as bad as being forced to add zeros to a check (or as bad as being kicked in the shins, for that matter). As for non-work-related changes, remember that living a happy life that you control can net you big-time compensation in the form of better health (and we all know how medical bills can add up), less stress, an effervescent sense of freedom that is hard to replicate without illegal drugs and other intangible benefits. It usually "pays" more to live a great life with less money than to live a miserable one with a better paycheck.
7) But really, what if there's a real cash-flow problem?
Pretend to be a religious holy person on a 'real world' sabbatical. Scale back your life, use the money you do make for the bare essentials and spend your free time doing good works. Stuff will come your way through networking, contacts, your good reputation, etc. Opening the doors of your life to other people allows for two-way travel, you know.
8) What if there's not enough money, freedom, compensation, etc., to accommodate plans I've already made?
You remember what I said about plans, right? Sometimes, you'll just have to choose between plans made then and dreams sought now. Another saying that speaks to this issue is as follows: "You can have anything you want in this life. You just can't have everything." Go over both your plans and your dreams. Which one gives you the greater feeling of joy? Which one, when you think about abandoning it, gives you the greater feeling of loss? It's occasionally a close call, but usually a simple process of prioritization and revisiting old, and sometime changed, values and needs shows a clear winner.
9) What if I buckle under the pressure?
Take some yoga classes - it makes buckling easier and more graceful, and you don't make those embarrassing popping noises in your knees. Plus, the meditation and stretching/breathing will make you less likely to buckle, as well. And learn to take wisdom from those grade-school fire-safety posters - sometimes you have to get really low in order to escape the heat and save yourself. Don't assume that a lowered posture is a sign of a lowered stature. Sometimes it can serve to take the heat off your back until the fire calms down.
10) What if I FAIL (gasp!) and have to return to (whatever life you left), and everyone will know and it will suck?
And so, we have come full circle - back to sucking. Suck, baby, suck! It's when life sucks that it quits being boring. And if you do have to go back, don't go back with your tail between your legs (get that thing removed, will you? It's disturbing when you wag it). Go back with an enhanced resume/life experience including all the new and nifty stuff you've learned. Present yourself as returned from a cross-training internship working along side the big guys, and now ready to take on greater (and greater recompensed) challenges! The "real" players do it all the time - why not you?
I have created a free month-long e-course developed from this article, available on my website, including all of the material above, expanded and partnered with action steps that you can take to ensure that you stick the landing of your leap with a 10.0 score for finesse, style and energy! I am also working on an even larger and more in-depth coaching program building up from this e-course - look for it to be available sometime later this year!

put your psychological antennae up and come out of your normal shell. What have you got to lose

Personal Development and the Curious Case of the Intimate Stranger by Willie Horton
Consider where you are in life at the moment - in your career or business and in your relationships,I went to sleep last night with fantasies of all I would get done today. Up at 6. Isn't it true to say that they most important people in your life today were once complete and total strangers,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots? For some reason, at some particular point in your life, you connected with strangers who have made, quite possibly, a life-long difference - for better or for worse. In fact, if you actually think about it, you are where you are as a result of a series of seemingly random events. However, whether it be Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity, Deepak Chopra's take on 'synchro-destiny' or quantum physics' ideas on quantum entanglement, it may well be that these events were neither coincidental nor random.
Be that as it may, your short reflection on the now intimate though one-time strangers in your life, should have alerted you to something that can potentially move your life in all the wonderful directions that you heart desires - I am assuming that you have some idea of what you really what out of life, of course. If you haven't, then how are you going to get it! The key point that I'm making is that there are undoubtedly other important strangers roaming around out there who have the potential to take you life in all kinds of exciting and rewarding directions. The difficulty is that you've no idea who they are!
Unfortunately, normal people often think they know who the next most important person in their lives is. They think it's going to be the person that interviews them for the job they really want - or they think they'll meet them when they go for their American Idol or X Factor audition. Consequently, they prepare themselves for what they perceive as the big event - when the big event may is going on right before your very eyes. Life does not work according to your plans - the best things in life just happen - and, more often than not, you already have the evidence to prove it. The real business of life is done by what the normal person might consider chance. I have seen so many clients' careers change as a result of apparently chance encounters in bars, in elevators, on trains, in airport lounges waiting for delayed flights - I've even seen people's lives changed as a result of people quite literally bumping into each other in road accidents,"Actions!
Not only are you wrong if you think that you will get what you want out of life by rigorously following some preconceived plan, you also, as a normal person have a couple of major problems on your hands. First of all, as a child, you were probably told never to talk to strangers. This was done with good reason at the time - but the subconscious mind is still clutching on to the subliminal message that you must avoid all strangers at all costs. Next time you're on a train, metro, tube, subway or bus, next time you're in an elevator, notice how careful people are to avoid eye contact and, if possible, any form of contact at all. And, yet you could be standing next to the next most important stranger in your life in the elevator. How will you know if you don't make some form of connection?
But, in trying to making a connection, we have a further problem. Normal adults normally make no connection at all - even with people that they think they're actually connecting with. From childhood, we have developed a capacity for categorization - essentially a psychological facility that means that we don't have to waste our precious attention on evaluating and making an appropriate value judgment in relation to anyone new that we meet in our lives. There's the odd exception to this mindlessness - the most notable being when you fall head-over-heels in love with someone because, in doing so, your subconscious attention is grabbed. That aside, you never really meet any of the new people that you think you meet. Your subconscious mind makes up your mind for you within about four seconds - not enough time to even learn their name! Worst of all, you've no idea this is going on because it is subconscious.
So, given that the people who are of paramount importance in your life today were once complete and total strangers and given that we all have to keep moving and growing in our lives (disagree with this and you might as well finish yourself off because you're already as good as dead!), how are you going to spot the next most important stranger? You're going to have to let yourself off the leash of normal programming that stops you taking the tiny leap of faith that is required to actually and simply engage with your fellow human being. The funny thing is that, when you do, you will find that others are crying out for a little contact. Now, I'm not suggesting that you start behaving inappropriately in public places! What I am suggesting is, however, that you open your eyes, tune into the reality of the here and now,but is it even worth entering one at this point, put your psychological antennae up and come out of your normal shell. What have you got to lose? Because there's so much more out of life to be gained.

where you are destined to go and who you are destined to be.

The Secret of the Void
All Alone in Here
Several years ago I had a quiet but intense experience at the wedding of a close friend. I was early, and as I sat at my table I watched the other guests entering the room. One came in elated, dancing like a performer on stage. Another was withdrawn, inward, as if mulling over some sadness or pain. Some were eating, some talking, some laughing and some sitting quietly.
But what I saw with an almost painful intensity was that each one of us, no matter what we were doing or with whom we were doing it, was essentially in our own world. Not necessarily lonely,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, but alone, our thoughts, longings, our selves on some core level separate from everyone around us.
Once, many years ago, my four-year-old cousin was standing in the living room with her mother and grandmother when she suddenly burst out, "I'm all alone in here!" When her mother hastened to reassure her that they were right there with her in the room, she responded,the cellulite will inevitably return. So, "No, in here. I'm all alone in here."
Every human being experiences this essential aloneness. Sometimes we're not aware of it at all, and sometimes the awareness, like it was for my little cousin, is profound. But whatever the case, it's always there.
What Conceals Reveals
Kabbalah explains that in truth there is nothing but G-d. Everything that exists, whether physical or spiritual, is simply a highly limited expression of its Creator, somewhat like each of your thoughts and actions is a little expression of you.
The infinite light of G-d, as its name implies, is overwhelming, filling every space. Left unmuted, this all-encompassing light would make it impossible for anything else to exist, just like a ray of light cannot exist as a separate entity within the body of the sun. So, in order to allow for Creation in all of its limitless details and forms, G-d had to conceal His own infinite light. This concealment, known as tzimtzum, is what enables us to be. And more, it allows us to experience ourselves as real, solid, and the center of our universe.
This Big Lie" this core illusion of aloneness and solidity is what allows us to exist as separate and unique human beings. In its raw, unrectified state, it cuts us off from the truth. But ultimately we are destined to see through the walls, transcend the illusion, and fulfill our potential as uniquely magnificent expressions of the Divine.
The Sound of the Void
The illusion is powerful, but not total. If we were completely cut off from an awareness of what lies beyond, chances are we would be perfectly content. There would be no reason to question ourselves or our existence, no drive to continuously experience more.
But we are not cut off completely. A glimmer of the Infinite light from before Creation surrounds and permeates each person who walks this earth. This light is what gives us the profound sense that there is something else out there. Only the something doesn't always feel like an actual something. It often feels like something missing - a void.
This void, this missing, hovers at the edge of our consciousness, threatening our comfortable sense of solidity and bringing with it an essential longing for. well, for something. Something more.
This sensation of something missing is actually the glimmer of something that is there,but they are not., but too vast and amazing to be perceived by our ordinary senses. But as physical beings in a physical world, we are not naturally inclined to relate to it in this esoteric way. In fact, the non-physical all too often makes us feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. So, instead of slowly allowing our eyes to adjust to this more subtle light, we avoid the experience altogether, or seek to fill the void with physical things.
The subtle awareness of the void pulls us relentlessly toward the next high, the next success, the more exciting relationship, the bigger, flashier toy. The feelings it triggers - like sadness, depression, anxiety or dissatisfaction drive us to eat too much, drink too much, work too much, spend too much, need too much; in short, whatever it takes to avoid facing the threatening insubstantiality of it all.
But, as uncomfortable and threatening as it can feel, if you are willing to face the discomfort, to stop running and listen, you can begin to explore the secret of the void, to expand your ability to see and hear things that lie outside your normal range.
Like a beautiful dream whose impression lingers, like a song that stirs memories and feelings from long ago, like a perfume that lingers faintly in the air, the music of the void can stir forgotten memories and open your heart. It can speak to you of where you came from, where you are destined to go and who you are destined to be.
A Deeper Level of Life
In Hebrew, each letter of the alphabet has a gematria, a numerical equivalent. Whenever the letters of one word are numerically equivalent to the letters of a different word, it points to a secret relationship between the two.
It is fascinating to know that the Hebrew word for void, challal, is exactly numerically equivalent to the word chaim, which means life.
The message is simple. In being willing to embrace the vulnerability, to stop running away and instead stay present and expand your ability to see, you can begin to reconnect with what has been concealed from you, the part of you that is most truly and infinitely alive.
Eating in Bed Maintaining the Illusion of Being Solid
Most evenings, after I'm finished with the tasks of the day, I reward myself by getting in bed and relaxing under the covers with a book. It feels secure and cozy, reassuringly solid and safe. And to further enhance the comforting feeling I almost always take a little bedtime snack with me. In fact, I sometimes take more than one.
I've been doing this for many years, and, as is the case with most deeply ingrained habits, I've become more than a little attached to it.
Recently I decided to give it up. I stopped eating in bed, and in doing so I discovered that my comforting habit had been covering up the sound of the void. The perceptions and sensations I began to experience were not necessarily comfortable. In fact, new, bigger things rarely are. But they were rewarding and profound.
As physical beings, we are primed to seek permanence and stability. But the bad news the paradoxical news - is that physical things are inherently unstable and impermanent. Coming face to face with this fact can be scary. It can feel, indeed, like hovering over a dark and formless void. It's important to remember that this darkness is really a much vaster and more brilliant form of light one that's simply too great for our senses to contain.
Many of us spend our lives attempting to block it out, to run from the darkness, or to create stability and solidity by clinging to things that are intrinsically unstable. This,wrinkles, however, does nothing to change the darkness, nor to expand our capacity to see. We remain trapped in a world of struggle and illusion. But if, instead, we train our eyes, bit by bit, to see the concealed light, to hear the subtle music, we can begin to set ourselves free and to use this freedom to make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.
Do You Eat in Bed?
Whether you eat in bed or not, I am certain that there are things you do to block out the discomfort of the void. Maybe you eat or drink or work or sleep too much. Or maybe you take solace in having very strong opinions, in making yourself feel bigger and more solid by being right, criticizing, blaming or complaining. Maybe you try to lose yourself in a relationship, or maybe you avoid the vulnerability that an intimate relationship brings.
Whatever it is that you do - every now and then, just don't. Instead, let yourself be open to something anything - that challenges the way you've seen things till now. Going without that extra cookie, that glass of wine, or the need to prove your point might bring up feelings or perceptions that have something important to tell you. Giving up a protective habit is one of the most powerful ways to expand your capacity to see and hear what the habit is covering up. So listen and learn or better yet, do something that reflects a new, higher way of being.
Maybe you can let yourself be vulnerable to someone else where you'd normally be defensive, to really listen rather than defend. Or maybe you can take an hour away from work to sit with your children and smile into their eyes, without having to accomplish anything at all. Learn some Torah, give some charity, or take a few minutes to open your heart to your Creator. These things bring more Divine light into the darkness and expand your ability to experience that light in your everyday life.

Scenario #2

Flowers, Chocolates or Jewelry?
Let's take a look at these 3 popular items to determine the best choice. Whether you are buying your lady a birthday, anniversary or a just because gift, you want your gift to say, You are special to me.
Scenario#1: Mr. Smith is on his way home from a bad day at work. Making a quick stop at the grocery store to buy his favorite comfort food or drink, he spots several day old bouquets wrapped in plastic and remembers that it's his anniversary,. Then dab a towel on your hair. Do not rub your hair. Dry it for a minute.. He grabs the flowers, pays for his items and presents Mrs. Smith the bouquet (still in the plastic with the price tag on it) upon arriving home. As she smiles and thanks him, she's secretly thinking,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, What a disappointment,enzymes. I can't believe he forgot again.
Scenario #2: Remembering several days ahead of time, Mr. Smith purchases a nice box of chocolates and takes the time to wrap it. He presents it to his wife on their anniversary. She is very pleased that he's remembered their anniversary and is happy with the chocolates.
Scenario #3: Several months before his anniversary, Mr. Smith starts surfing the web internet for the perfect gift. Deciding on a bracelet, he is pleased with Mrs. Smith's reaction as she opens her gift. She is genuinely delighted. This is a gift that says, You are special to me.
Flowers and chocolates are not necessarily a bad choice for a gift- as long as there is thought put into it. Women look at things differently than men. The thought, effort and time put into selecting a gift means almost as much, if not as much to them as the gift itself. When you buy her jewelry,more supple appearance. Others contain pads that push your breasts up and enhance cleavage., it tells her that you have put thought into selecting this gift because there are so many places that you can buy jewelry. It also shows that you know what she likes.
Another way of looking at it when trying to decide which gift to buy her: Flowers will die, chocolates will be eaten, but jewelry will last. Every time she wears it she'll be reminded that you bought it for her and that you think she is special.

Look Nice with Nice Things
I just don't get it,get rid of everything they can, the other day someone asked me how much my bag was, I told them, they were shocked at the amount I'd spent (especially since I was saying what a great deal I had found on it, which it was a great deal). I asked her how much she spent on her not-so-stunning bag, and she said $15.99. Come on!
Are you really so cheap that you won't spend more than $20 on a handbag,When you are absolutely certain that you are ready to begin to lose weight. You will carry it numerous times. I'm not saying spend thousands, I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to look great with nice things. You could even get a really stylish, not so top designer handbag for like $50 - $60. You can also get a cheaper, out of season designer handbag for like $100 - $200.
I'd say that's the trick, buying not too old, but out of season designer handbags, the price tag gets cut so low compared to original price. They are still top quality, handmade, stunning designer handbags. If you cannot afford to pay the top handbag prices, this is the best step in the right direction.
But overall I guess my point is just that I don't understand why you would not want to wear nice things. People who don't know you are judging you by what your wearing, don't you want them to think you look great?
For example the Prada Handbag MV633 Pink Vela is available at affordable cost at Designer Purse Shop store.
One Designer Bag Is Never Enough
Shopping with my boyfriend, I spotted my weakness,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, a cute bag on sale, immediately picking it up without a second thought I marched over to the cashier to buy it. My boyfriend seemed stunned, his point of view was that I had just got a new bag,In summary, and was yet to need another.
From my point of view, I was stunned, how could I not need another designer purses and handbag? Sure I did just buy a new bag, quite an expensive one at that, but that does not mean I could not use another one. You can always use another designer handbag!
After our little debate I ended up not buying the bag, not because I didn't need it, but because it really was not my style and I probably would never have worn it anyway. This means I guess I didn't really need it.
Why is it though as soon as we see a sale we just have to buy it, without a second thought, let alone logic? We could have thousands of designer handbags and still want more.

ectopic pregnancy or induced abortion.

Rh Factor by James Pendergraft
What is Rh factor?
Every person's blood is one of four major types. A, B, AB, or O. Blood types are determined by the types of antigens on the blood cells.
Rh describes the factor that is found on the red blood cells of most people. People with the Rh factor are Rh positive, those who do not have the factor are Rh negative,choose extreme colors like fuchsia or purple or even green.. Approximately 85% of the United States population is Rh positive and about 15% is Rh negative. The type we are is determined by our parents just like eye color. The Rh factor does not affect a person's general health. Rh factor can be determined by a simple blood test which only requires a finger stick.
When is Rh important?
Rh is important when donating blood or receiving a blood transfusion and during pregnancy. Rh negative blood donors are always in demand because Rh negative patients need Rh negative blood. Rh positive patients can receive blood from either Rh positive or Rh negative donors. In pregnancy, Rh is especially important when an Rh negative woman carries an Rh positive fetus.
What if I am Rh negative and pregnant?
If an Rh negative woman is pregnant with an Rh positive fetus, her body will produce antibodies against the fetus's blood, causing a disease known as the Rh disease. Sensitization to the disease occurs when the woman's blood is exposed to the fetus's blood. The antibodies attack and destroy the Rh positive red blood cells of the fetus, a progressive anemia develops and in severe cases, there can be heart failure or even death. This hemolytic disease usually does not affect the first pregnancy, but once a woman has produced antibodies, all future Rh positive pregnancies are at risk. Antibody production can be prevented by giving Rh Immune Globulin (Rhlg or RhoGam).

What is RhoGam and what does it do?
RhoGam is a solution containing Rh antibodies which is injected into the Rh negative mother during pregnancy and just after delivery,as well as a good eight glasses of water a day to flush toxins, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or induced abortion.
Once the antibodies have been given,don't take any chances. Criminals are hoping that you'll make their job easier for them., the immune system sees no need to act and the woman's body does not make her own antibodies even though Rh positive red blood cells from the fetus got into her bloodstream.
Is protection necessary after each pregnancy?
Yes. With each pregnancy the Rh negative woman has a chance of being exposed to the red blood cells of her fetus,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. Unless it is known for certain that the fetus is Rh negative, the woman should receive protection. Before birth, miscarriage or induced abortion there is no way of knowing the baby's Rh type unless both parents are Rh negative.
Is RhoGam Safe?
Yes. RhoGam has an excellent safety record. Before it was made available for general use, it was tested in medical centers around the world. Millions of women have received RhoGam safely and delivered healthy babies. RhoGam is prepared by a process that has not been shown to transmit hepatitis or other infectious diseases.
Rh disease is preventable through this simple injection of Rh Immune Globulin.

• NeoCutis Bio-restorative Skin Cream – It is the first anti-aging moisturizer to contain PSP

Lotions, Serums Or Creams – What’s Best For You? by Marilynn Syrett
The skin care market is flooded by an extensive range of skin care products. With hundreds of products to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you?
Skin care products are available in a variety of forms namely lotions, serums and creams. They all have the very similar moisturizing qualities. All three of them contain humectants that moisturize the skin and emollients that seal in the moisture within the skin. However, their consistency is what makes all the difference in deciding which one will be the right choice for your skin type. Lotions have a thin consistency because of the high water content. Contrary to this, creams are thick and contain a whole lot of moisturizing nutrients. And then there are serums, which are the thinnest of all three. Serums are almost water like and best used in combination with lotions and creams. Let us study each of them in more detail.
Lotions
Lotions are lightweight substances that contain minimum oil and maximum water. Because of the low oil content, they are very suitable for people with oily skin. Moisturizers are an indispensable part of skin care regimen; lotions can be used by normal to oily skin. Not only are they easy to apply but they are also absorbed readily by the skin and are available in a variety of consistencies depending on the water-oil ratio in them. Hence, there are products available for oily, normal and even dry skin.
Product suggestions:
Obagi C-Exfoliating Day Lotion - Obagi Day Lotion exfoliates the skin surface and accelerates skin cell turnover. In addition it also keeps the skin well hydrated and protected for flawless looking skin.
Creams
Skin care creams are characterized by their thick texture and rich consistency. Creams are excellent for dry skin as they provide extra moisture for the dry skin cells. Moisturizing creams contain a lot of nourishing agents like oils, hydrators, humectants, plant extracts and so on. Creams create a protective layer over the skin surface and seal in the moisture protecting it against additional environmental damage. Because of this, the skin becomes smooth and supple and feels soft to the touch. Creams are ideal for dry and normal skin but they may not suit oily skin. They would just add to the oil content and make the skin appear shiny and greasy,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. Even combination skin may not be able to accommodate the high oils of skin care creams and may create a shine during the day time.
Some Product Suggestions:
• NeoCutis Journee Bio-restorative Day Cream - A fabulous ‘four-in-one’ skin care product containing PSP that helps improve the appearance of aging skin. it contains a blend of antioxidants that protects the skin against environmental stressors and UVA/UVB SPF of 30+.
• NeoCutis Bio-restorative Skin Cream – It is the first anti-aging moisturizer to contain PSP, a unique combination of human growth factors and cytokines that provide a visible reduction in aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines and sun damaged skin.
Serums

Aha's For Normalizing Combination Skin
Often the biggest frustration for those with combination skin is caring for it properly. Having both dry and oily skin areas on your face can make skin care seem almost impossible. There are, however, things that you can do to care for and keep your combination skin healthy and feeling good.
For one thing, some areas of your face may feel tight after you wash. This will typically be on the parts of your face not included in the T-zone area. These areas will likely also look flaky and dull and may feel rough.
First of all,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, make sure you are cleansing every day. Use a mild cleanser on your entire face. Use the cleanser twice a day, preferably before bed at night and after get up in the morning. These are the times your face most needs to be cleansed anyway, but if you have combination skin it is imperative.
Get a good moisturizer. Once you have identified which parts of your face are the dry parts, most likely these areas are not in the T-zone and this is the area you will treat. Use the moisturizer on those dry areas only. Using it in your oily T-zone will only make that area worse.
The goal when you have combination skin is to normalize it. Normalizing is trying to gain a balance between the oily and dry areas so that all your skin looks and feels the same. In order to accomplish this feat, you want to look for products that are made for such normalization. For instance, ones that contain alpha hydroxyl acids (fruit acids or AHA's) or retinols will work best. Retinols are a vitamin A derivative. Such products should help you to gain more normal and even looking skin.
The reason AHA creams are so beneficial to your skin is that they area catalyst for skin cell regeneration. By burning off or removing the top layer of skin cells (or the too oily and too dry ones) they expose the healthier skin cells beneath them. These cells are more likely to absorb moisturizers. They also help improve skin elasticity through their water-binding properties. This can help with that tight feeling you may get in the dry areas with your combination skin. The only thing about which you need to be aware is that once you are using AHA's, you need to continue using them. Once you stop, your cells will not regenerate at the rate they were with the AHA and will return to their original state very soon.

nylon and chiffon. These are often trimmed with ruffles

Baby Doll Lingerie: Hints & Tips by Amanda Cotterill
Baby doll lingerie is one type of sexy lingerie that flatters almost every figure, from the full-bodied woman to the petite. Baby doll lingerie is also a classic style, dating back to the fifties. Baby doll lingerie has been in fashion for over 50 years, and that says a lot about its appeal to women of all ages, shapes and sizes. The popularity is due, in part, to the fact that baby doll screams young, innocent, and cute. What woman can argue with that?
Baby dolls are basically short, sleeveless negligees with shaped cups and loose fitting skirts (usually hitting mid-thigh or a little higher), but there are many types and styles available. The options include sheer baby doll lingerie, exotic print babydolls, and lace babydoll lingerie. Some favorite fabrics for baby doll lingerie are silk, nylon and chiffon. These are often trimmed with ruffles, lace, fur, bows or ribbons and sometimes even several of these at once for an extremely sexy or risqué babydoll twist,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots.
And sexy is what babydolls are all about, especially ones that come with matching panties, often thongs or g-strings. A sweet, sexy style like that is sure to make babydolls a big hit with the man in your life.
Lingerie Online
When shopping for baby doll lingerie, browse online from the privacy of your home. This is far different from when women of the 50s had to go into department stores to purchase risqué lingerie and felt as if the sales clerk was looking on with distaste. There is no more embarrassment, and online shopping has made it easier than ever to buy any type of sexy lingerie without a woman feeling she has a scarlet letter attached to her blouse!
Shopping Tips for Necklines
Some tips for purchasing baby doll lingerie include looking for a neckline complimentary to your bust line. Many babydoll lingerie pieces have V-necklines with built-in push-up cups. This type of neckline is great for anyone with a small bust or one that needs some lift to look its best. Scoop neck lines that are curved are good for full-busted women. If you're petite, stay away from too many ruffles around the neckline of your baby doll lingerie because ruffles tend to overpower your face and bust.
Color My World
Consider the color and pattern when shopping for baby doll lingerie. Red may scream sexy, but not if it's the one color that makes you look as if you've had the flu or your skin already has pinkish tones. Choose colors that are flattering to your skin tone and hair color, just as you would for any type of clothing. Be wary of exotic patterns that can overpower and put too much tart into the innocent but sexy look you're aiming for.
Soft and Soothing
Finally, think about the fabrics. This may sound negligible, but soft and comfortable fabric is important if you're planning to wear your baby doll lingerie often, and easy care is important too. Fabrics like silk may not be your best choice. That's okay, because nylon makes a great substitute and is much more washer-friendly. After all, baby doll lingerie should bring extra fun into your life, not extra work!

choosing the perfect arrangement is no trouble whatsoever.

Getting Mother's Day Flowers Delivered By the Discount Flower Delivery Company by Monica Johnson
Ordering Mother's Day flowers by a discount flower delivery company is a great way to save money and to make sure that you remember that important person on her special day. There are many excellent options for discount flowers, and people with all different types of budget should have no problem finding a bouquet that is perfect for their mother. It just takes a little bit of time and consideration into what kind of flowers your mom likes; once you have that figured out, choosing the perfect arrangement is no trouble whatsoever.
Mothers do so many important things for their children throughout the year; Mother's Day is the perfect way of saying thank you to them for all the love they give. Growing up, your mother probably fed, clothed, and entertained you on a daily basis. Without her love and her nurturing, you likely would have been quite lost. To top all of that off, she probably did not receive anything special in return for all of her work; she was likely satisfied just knowing that her children were taken care of.
Imagine, then, how surprised your mom will be when that beautiful bouquet shows up at her house. It would be nice to present a flower arrangement to your mom in person; however, sometimes certain circumstances do not allow that to occur. This is particularly true if you live in a different city, state or even country than your mom. If you cannot bring her flowers personally, having flowers delivered by a discount flower company is a close second as far as thoughtfulness goes.
Thanks to the Internet, it is easier than ever before to find the exact right style of bouquet for your mother,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. Flower delivery companies have websites that clearly display and highlight all of their different options. You can usually sort them by size, flower, and by color. Many flower delivery companies have special Mother's Day arrangements already set up for that special day. Or you can sometimes even custom design your very own bunch of flowers. No matter what you do, your mom is sure to be thrilled.
When you order Mother's Day flowers, make sure that you include a special card or note in the bouquet. You can personalize it with your very own message. This will add to the excitement of receiving the flowers, and your mom is sure to be that much more pleased by the whole thing. Think of something thoughtful to say in the card, something like an inside joke or something only you and she would understand. "Happy Mother's Day" cards are also available; if you use one, still be sure to add your own personalized message.
Ordering your Mother's Day flowers through a discount flower delivery company is a great way to honor that special person in your life. At the same time, you can save some money. In these tough economic times, every little bit helps. Make sure that you remember your mom on Mother's Day; she is sure to be thrilled!

shape and color

Choosing The Right Gemstone
Gemstones are one of this world's great miracles. They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Although I love them all,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, emeralds, especially, are very dear to me.
Besides displaying my favorite color, these wonderful green stones also represent, in my opinion, what being human is all about. I'll explain . . . .
Emeralds are one of the few gemstones where flaws and imperfections are tolerable and considered part of their natural beauty. A natural emerald is created over the course of many years under intense geothermal pressure, and the inclusions are a shorthand diary of that stone's birth pains and growth history.
Because of these imperfections they are especially unique. You can easily tell a natural emerald from a synthetic one because the genuine stone has these flaws. Emeralds are one of the most difficult gems to cut and although they boast a hardness of 7.5, they tend to be brittle, and if handled improperly, will chip or break. A perfect, flawless emerald is almost impossible to find.
A few years ago, many positive but frightening changes took over my life, demanding a great deal of courage from me. As a reminder of my bravery I've decided to reward myself with a gorgeous emerald ring, a natural one of course.
Now, every time I wear my beautiful ring, it reminds me of many of my own qualities. Because, like a natural emerald, I only became the person I am now after experiencing intense pressure, allowing me to grow. Just like my genuine emerald, I am unique, colorful, bright, valuable (just because I exist) intense, stunningly set, and gently flawed.
We all share these great qualities and also carry those little flaws that contribute to making us so unique. And although we differ in size, shape and color, we are all constantly seeking to fit into our best setting.
The emerald is the zodiacal gem for those born under the sign of Taurus, and is the May birthstone. Naturally, everyone looks good in emerald jewelry, so there's no need to feel left out if you were, like me, born in some other month.
If you feel passionately about this gem like I do, and still don't own an uniquely crafted natural emerald, please do yourself a favor and begin your hunt for this treasure now.
And like I did, you just might find that especial gem you'll simply fall in love with.

it also helps you gain a stronger self esteem throughout the divorce process.

Free Divorce Advice For Women
Deciding that you want to divorce your husband is a big decision that really changes a lot of things in your life. It s important to get into it as emotionally prepared as possible. Here are a few practical and free divorce advice for women on how to divorce your husband:
Find a lawyer - This is especially true if you expect your husband to resist the divorce process. Most of the times, it s better to have a professional help you work the system. You ll get a better idea of what happens during the process, what you can expect, and how you can best prepare for it.
Talk to a therapist - At times you need to find a way to deal with the loss and uncertainty first before facing other people. Going through a divorce doesn t just involve knowing the technicalities of how to divorce your husband or how to get a divorce but also learning to feel your way through the emotional ups and downs that you are about to face. Talking to a therapist helps a lot.
Get a P.O. box - Ideally, you should get a P.O. box address in a town that s different from where you and your spouse usually get mail. It s advisable to have all your divorce documents forwarded to this new address.
Get a copy of your credit report - This is a very important part of the process of divorcing your husband. With an updated copy of your credit report, you can see if your husband used your details to apply for another credit card, how much debt you actually have, and if you have a debt that you don t know about.
Open your own bank account - It s best if you open a bank account from a different bank that you and your husband share,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. Separating finances can be a rough process. Setting up your own account is a good and necessary first step to take.
Acquire copies of important documents - Your divorce lawyer will give you a list of documents that you need to copy. Secure a copy of all important documents and store them in a safe place which is not accessible to your husband (like your parents house, your lawyer, or your own safe which you don t share with your husband).
Talk to a financial advisor - A financial advisor can give you a better picture of your financial situation, find tax issues, and help you strategize for financial independence. At this point, you should also be planning on how you can continue paying for your legal expenses as well as how much you need to be able to live independently and comfortably, especially if you have children.
Make an inventory of your personal property - List down personal properties like jewelry you inherited, items that were given as gifts, etcetera. It would be best if you can take dated photos of each piece of property that you consider your own which are expensive or have sentimental value and keep them in a catalog so that when it s time for property division, you can quickly find items that are missing or have been sold without your knowledge or consent.
Find a job - This is especially important if you have stopped working to take care of your family or if you stopped studying when you got married. Aside from making financial decisions easier for you, it also helps you gain a stronger self esteem throughout the divorce process.

As much as we all want to have the hottest new pair of shoes

Designer Wardrobes on a Budget by Angela Ayles
As much as we all want to have the hottest new pair of shoes, the cutest new dress or the incredibly stylish jeans, it's not always possible. Money is a rare commodity in a lot of families, whether you're a parent, a college or University student or simply trying to make ends meet while working. Well, you'll be happy to know that just because you're on a budget it does not mean that you can't afford a high end, super hot wardrobe it just means you'll have to look a little harder. Luckily, I'm here to help.
There are many ways to spend you're money wisely, here are just a few:
Vintage and Second-Hand Stores Some people cringe when they hear the words vintage, second-hand or used clothing. It's really not as bad as it sounds. Most second-hand clothing is barely used and many places won't even take the clothing unless they are in mint condition. It's going to take you a little longer to look through all the designs and some of them may not be a high end label like Burberry but once you find one, you've hit the jackpot. Vintage clothing is extremely popular in Hollywood as well. Many of the hottest celebrities who can afford to spend thousands of dollars on their wardrobes choose to buy vintage instead.
Buy a Few Pieces and Maximize on them One piece of design clothing isn't going to break the bank. So if you choose one that you really like (preferably a jacket, sweater or something that can be mixed with a number of other pieces) you will be able to maximize on the one piece by wearing it with a number of other outfits. Likewise, articles of clothing like scarves and sweaters will be even more effective when it comes to mixing and matching because they can be used more often and paired with more outfits than say a pair of jeans or shoes.
Look For Deals Smart Shopping is the best way to save money,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. Looking for deals may be a little more time consuming than just whipping into a store and purchasing the first amazing piece that you see but, in the end, it's definitely worth it. The best time to look for deals is either at the end of a season or when a store/company is relocating or closing. Generally, seasonal sales are the best way to save money on designer clothing, so make sure you keep an eye out at the end of each season.
Saving money on your designer wardrobe really comes down to smart shopping. If you can't afford a $400 dollar shirt then don't buy it. Wait until you find a deal that fits into your budget and you'll be much happier in the long run.

you know how to get things done for everyone else

How Can a Busy Mom Get Time for Fitness?
Are You a mom? Do You have time for fitness? Moms really have a tough time,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. They are the cook, the maid, the taxi driver, the teacher, the referee, and the list could go on. If you're a mom, you know how to get things done for everyone else, but chances are, you don't take care of you. In the day where children keep parents on the go, it is hard to do the things you'd like to do.
School schedules, car pools and after school activities combined with household chores and a full-time job doesn't allow for much time to exercise and workout. However, that excuse is no longer good enough. Today's mom knows how to get things done. They can squeeze in a last minute dentist appointment for little Tamie and show up without a moment to spare for a class play that little Tommy forgot to mention. Super mom can always find time to do whatever needs to be done to run a happy home for all of the occupants. So the I don't have time doesn't fly anymore. In fact, moms everywhere should be embarrassed to use the excuse when a real mom knows, if you really want to do something it's like that Divine Sisterhood stuff , scoot on over , because here comes mom!
It is important to take care of yourself. Plenty of rest and exercise should therefore be one of those little things that you mark on the calendar and do. In fact, do it now. Mark in your day planner or on the dry-erase board your me-time. Then, dust off that tennis racket and head on out for the courts with one of your girlfriends, or join a Fitness Center, or take up walking for overall health and fitness. Procrastination is a word that has no meaning for moms wanting to do something nice for their children, the same should apply for what you want or need to do.
Flexibility and diversification is a nice thing. Diversify your workout schedule to include solo walks, tennis matches with girlfriends, and horseback riding with your husband. Be creative in planning your week ahead. If you know that on Monday you have to pick up your daughter from school at 3:00, but your son gets out at 2:30, make proper use of your time and throw your Nike shoes in a gym bag and walk while you wait. If your daughter has a volleyball practice 25 minutes across town at the high school, then take your swimsuit and use the school's swimming pool to swim laps. Most schools don't mind if you call ahead and some even offer free swims on certain days of the week.
The most important thing for you to remember is that because you are a mom, you may have to jump in and take advantage of a thirty-minute window just to have time to exercise. Be prepared for those opportunities and learn to expect the unexpected and take care to use the time wisely. If your son's football practice is held over 45 minutes, continue walking around the track until you hear the sweetest words in the world, MOM, I'm ready to go! You can accomplish what you want, even as a busy mom.

the latest trend in hair removal promises long lasting

Laser Hair Removal Manhattan
Women (and men) have been trying to get rid of unwanted hair for centuries. Shaving, plucking, waxing and chemical dilapitory agents have been used by literally billions of people for thousands of years. Yet in Manhattan, the latest trend in hair removal promises long lasting, less painful results than any of these methods.
Both the trendy and not so trendy flock to the new laser hair removal treatment centers in Manhattan to receive the latest technology in smooth, hairless skin. The procedure is described as safe, using a very low level laser beam. The laser's energy enters the pigment inside the hair follicle. As the energy heats the pigment, the hair's root is destroyed but the surrounding skin remains unharmed. The follicle is also deactivated, reducing regrowth.
For most, the procedure takes from 15 minutes to just over an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated. The process is virtually painless, with most patients experiencing a slight stinging sensation. Of course, the more sensitive the area, the more likely that some unpleasant sensations will occur,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. For the more sensitive areas, a topical numbing cream may be used.
Since hair grows in cycles, it may take several sessions to remove all of the hair in an area, but once the treatments are completed the results are extremely long lasting. Not only are the treatments quick and painless, but they are surprisingly affordable as well.
There are many laser hair removal clinics in Manhattan. Choose one that uses an FDA approved laser specifically designed for hair removal. Different lasers are used for different skin types, so check to see if the laser used by the clinic is right for your coloration. Make sure that your technician is certified and fully trained on the equipment being used.
Interested to join the in crowd in Manhattan and try laser hair removal? Not only will you be surprised at the great, long lasting results, but you'll be in on the newest grooming craze to hit New York in decades!

and most importantly

Creative Wedding Transport Solutions – Arrive And Leave In Style by Michelle O'Connor
Cars are likely to be the last thing on the minds of the busy, overwhelmed couple. However, family and attendants, some of your out-of-town guests, and most importantly, you and your significant other, will need some mode of transportation. Choosing your own escape mobile, like any other feature of your wedding, should balance and go with your sense of style as a couple.
In some places you can hire a horse-drawn carriage! Your carriage should be stylish and clean. You cannot go a long distance by carriage and not keep your guests waiting. Follow the coachman’s advice about touching the horses and feeding them delicacies at the wedding, and try not to spill drinks, either on his carriage or on your wedding dress, when the horses lurch to a start or stop.
Your transport has to be big enough to hold the often-voluminous attire of the bride without crowding. If you opt for a limousine service there are several things to remember as you shop around. Make sure to ask several questions when looking for a limo service. You may want to take cost into account and hire a service just for your specific needs, although almost all wedding limousine companies have packages ().
You don’t have to limit yourself to these two time-tested options. Why not rent a car or SUV limo if you have a large bridal party? Have a blast from the past and use a classic car. A hot-air balloon can be a fun way to arrive at your wedding reception. Arrive on horseback. A couple that enjoys golfing can arrive on a golf cart. Arrive on tractor for a country-themed wedding.
Companies across the US and Canada rent out luxury cars such as Mercedes, BMW’s, Lexus coupes and Saab convertibles. Matching mountain bikes, in-line skates and horses are other travel options. If you’ll be tying the knot in an unusual setting such as a deserted beach, a mountain, or a Venetian canal, nothing will complete the moment quite like the theatrical arrival by means of parasail,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, helicopter or man-powered gondola. However, if you have a large wedding party, and want them to arrive with you, you can’t beat a party limousine!
When it comes to choosing a mode of transportation, some brides make a few calls from the Yellow Pages and make their selection based on the lowest price. If you decide to go with the classic limo, or even a luxury rental, you should ask some questions: what types of vehicles the company offers, which car will you get on your wedding day, what color, what is the year and model of the car, additional fees, what if you need it longer than expected, etc.

contact lenses

Contact Lenses – Which Style Is Right For You by Anastasia Phocas

A contact lens is used either for therapeutic reasons, corrective purposes or as a cosmetic tool. With the recent advances in the manufacturing process of contact lenses, anybody can wear them, whether it is a bifocal, daily disposable or astigmatism-correcting lens.

For millions of people, contact lenses have proven to be a healthy vision option. However, it should be decided only after checking with an eye care professional. If the steps prescribed to removing, inserting and caring for them are rigidly followed the contact lens can be used without any trouble. To check the effectiveness or lack of it from the lens, check periodically with an eye care professional.

If a vision problem is identified and needs a vision correction, one of the viable options is wearing a contact lens. Right from infants who have vision problems at birth, young children, teenagers and all adults can wear contact lenses.

According to doctors, contact lenses are the best option for vision correction for athletes. Contact lenses can improve the vision skills such as perception of depth, awareness of the peripheral area, co-ordination of eye-foot/eye-hand. Since the contact lens stays in place under dynamic conditions, they offer a total advantage to the athletes. They also free them from the risk of glasses-related injuries.

According to many eye specialists, contact lenses, which are made of a firm plastic lens, may slow or control the progression of myopia or near sightedness. In contrast,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots, conventional spectacles or soft contact lenses do not offer such advantages.

In 1971, when contact lenses were introduced it was an advanced technology and offered comfort not provided by the old-style spectacles. With the latest technology, it is now possible to get better corneal health, sharper vision and a longer life for the lens.

Contact lenses need cleaning and disinfecting every day. Due to the slick surface offering no scope for building up of deposits, there is no need for frequent enzyming, which is a type of extra-strength cleaner, used weekly, for the removal of stubborn deposits from contact lenses.

Daily disposal lenses are worn everyday and discarded without any need for maintenance. Weekly disposal contact lens should be cleaned during the night, soaked in a solution containing disinfectants, until they are removed for usage again.

Color of the eyes also can be changed by using soft contact lenses even if vision correction is not needed. However they are also a prescribed medical device and should be used under the guidance of an eyecare professional. These types of contact lenses are used mostly by theatre and film personalities to get a closer resemblance to the character portrayed by them.

So how do you provide your skin with the right type of nourishment and protection

Declare War on Bogus Anti Aging Anti Wrinkle Cream! by Therese Higgins
I don't know a thing about you, but I bet you're as fed up with trying to prevent wrinkles as I am. My personal "last straw" was the late night infomercial starring a beautiful, older celebrity, pumped full of Botox, who claims to have developed her own, scientific anti aging formula. Give me a break! I decided, right there and then, to declare war on bogus anti aging anti wrinkle cream.
Just when did preventing wrinkles become so complicated? Taking care of your skin is no different than taking care of the rest of your body. It's simply a matter of giving it the right type of nourishment and protecting it from things that are harmful. If you're doing this on a consistent basis, your skin can't help but reflect a youthful, healthy condition.
So how do you provide your skin with the right type of nourishment and protection?
Well, despite the fact that I've declared war on anti aging anti wrinkle cream, I have discovered creams that have been specifically developed to provide much-needed nutrients to aging skin cells.
If you're seeing wrinkles, lines, sagging and dullness it's because the healthy function of your skin cells has slowed down. When your skin cells are tired, they're unable to manufacture the collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid needed for preventing wrinkles.
Just like you, when you're hungry, your cells need an energy boost to get them working again. Cosmetic science has proven that natural, bio-active ingredients, like avocado oil, vitamin E, Co Q10, manuka honey and sea kelp, to name a few, are able to readily access your skin cells and reactivate cell function.
This is why the anti aging anti wrinkle cream you've purchased in the past hasn't worked. The majority of these products are made with cheap, synthetic chemicals that can only sit on top of the skin, smelling pleasant, and doing NOTHING but clogging your pores.
Mineral oil, alcohols, dioxanes and fragrances are synthetic. Your skin is not synthetic. It's natural! Preventing wrinkles with natural ingredients just makes sense.
And what about providing protection to your skin? That's a simple matter of limiting exposure to the sun and outdoor elements. Wear a hat and long sleeves when you go outdoors,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. I don't recommend sunscreen because most are loaded with chemicals.
So join me in declaring war on synthetic anti aging anti wrinkle cream. You don't have to wait any longer to get real help for preventing wrinkles. All you need is a simple strategy of skin nourishment and protection. This is the quickest and most effective way to restore and maintain your natural, youthful beauty.

After being in the pashmina and cashmere business for over six years now

Selecting the Right Pashmina Accessory: Pashmina or Pashmina/Silk Blend? by Blair Rhodes
After being in the pashmina and cashmere business for over six years now, one of the most commonly asked questions by our customers is whether they should order a pure pashmina accessory or a pashmina/silk blend. It is a truly personal decision, but there are a few distinctions to consider.
The first and most obvious distinction is the lustrous silky sheen of a pashmina/silk blend shawl, wrap or scarf. The sheen is caused not only by the addition of the silk (most often 30%), but also by the tighter weave commonly used for the blended items. The sheen is considered desirable for some occasions, such as weddings or formal events, where the dresses often are made of materials that also have sheen, such as silk or satin. Although you do not have to match the sheen of the dress to the pashmina, it is common practice.
Another difference is the warmth of the item. In general, a 100% pure pashmina item is going to be warmer than a pashmina/silk blend. Pashmina wool, a type of fine cashmere, is both warm and light, so the additional content creates additional warmth. How much of a difference in warmth depends on the percentage of silk content, which can vary but should be clearly marked on the accessory.
At my company, The Pashmina Store, located at , we offer our pure pashmina items in 2 ply and 3 ply. The greater the ply, the thicker and warmer the item will be. Since many pashmina/silk blends are produced in 2 ply, a 3 ply pure pashmina can offer a significant difference in warmth. But since cashmere is a light fiber, even a 3 ply item is light in weight.
The possible difference in the weave is another variable to consider. As I pointed out above, a pashmina/silk blend item is usually produced using a tighter weave that enhances the sheen and creates a smooth texture. A pure pashmina accessory is generally produced with a looser, more textured weave to help prevent pilling and shedding of the wool. It also makes the item a little bit fluffier and helps give it that luxurious hand feel that only cashmere provides.
For many years, the term pashmina typically was considered by consumers to be a pashmina/silk blend, but pure pashminas are just as popular,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. It is not uncommon for fashionable pashmina wearers to have a selection of both types to suit their needs at any given time based on their particular mood, outfit or the occasion. In the end, you cannot go wrong with either.

Anne Summers' book

Women's Wages
The beginning
God made man and woman, and handed over the reins of this world in their hands. The passing time through centuries, have witnessed the God's ordinance being twisted by man, to suit his own ends. The inception observed the man and woman treading down the lanes of troubles, hand in hand.
Today
The year 2004 is witnessing all the hustle and bustle of new technologies, economy rising, fast life, and so on. Despite all this, what startles me is the ever-increasing oppression on women, around the globe be it sexual harassment, cultural oppression,the Man Behind Vaginoplasty by Angel Abella, religious impositions, etc. Being a working woman myself, the most attention-grabbing anomaly I come across is the difference in the wages of men and women.
Excerpts of evidence
March 08, 2004 - 20:14, Gulf Daily News by TARIQ KHONJI
"There are many issues that need to be addressed including laws regarding women's rights and the elimination of discrimination in both the public and private sector," explained Ms Al Rowaie.
"For example, we hardly ever find women in very high positions. They are usually concentrated in middle-level management, even though their abilities are equal and often exceed those of men.
"We don't have a woman minister yet, with the exception of Supreme Council for Women secretary-general Lulwa Al Awadhi, who has the rank of minister but not a minister's portfolio."
Anne Summers' book, The End of Equality, paints a stark picture of women's status in Australia in the 21st century.
Despite winning equal pay for equal work more than 30 years ago,yours forever., the gap between men's and women's wages is larger now than a decade ago. In May 2002, men averaged $839 per week while women were paid just $555 (66% of men's wages). Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicate this gap is still growing: between May 2000 and May 2002, men's wages increased by $58 while women's rose by only $33.
Holding reins of livelihood!
In practice, employers favor men-workers owing to their belief that men are more devoted to work than women. Women are contemplated to be less reliable because they sometimes take leave to marry, or to have children. Conventionally, men were thought of as the breadwinner, and therefore worthy of a superior wage. In accordance to this, a woman's salary was supplementary income only.
Today's scenario contradicts the myth of supplementary income earned by women. The awareness and adoption of education for girls have armed them adequately, in order to ease their stand on equal wages demand. Despite the sincere efforts of unsung heroes (and heroines), the old practice of discrimination still dominate the employer's decisions.
What can be done about it?
A quote by Voltaire, No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking,One boiled egg with a slice of wholewheat bread. The foundation stone is not laid through a union's establishment, or passing of a bill in the constitution,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. The flame of revolution has to kindle up in each person's heart; that would mark the real change! The idea is not to profess feminist slogans here, rather for justification. When a woman is passing the entire criterion successfully, do not deny her the wages she deserves!

How to Safely Buy a Diamond Online – Part 3 of 3

It is now possible to save 40% to 60% by purchasing a diamond engagement ring from an online diamond retailer, rather than from a bricks-n-mortar High Street jeweller. Online diamond retailers donÂ’t have retail shops, sales staff, large diamond inventories and other associated operating expenses and are therefore able to pass on the cost savings to consumers.

Of course, a diamond might be one of the largest one-off purchases made in oneÂ’s lifetime and so it is understandable that many people may be uncomfortable paying for a diamond before it has been seen and examined.

However, as long as the correct research and precautions are taken there should be no reason to be fearful about buying diamonds from Internet diamond merchants.

The three most important aspects of the pre-purchase checks that must be carried out are:

1,the Man Behind Vaginoplasty by Angel Abella. Assurance that the diamond business is legitimate,

2. Assurance that the payment method is secure,

3. The risk of merchant fraud or failed delivery is mitigated.

In part three of this three part series we examine the third aspect which is to ensure mitigation of the risk of diamond merchant fraud or delivery failure.

Mitigation of risk of diamond merchant fraud and failed delivery

Only Buy Laboratory Certified Diamonds

Rule number one when buying any diamond is that it must have a certified laboratory report from one of the major gemmological institutes. This gives assurance that the diamond being purchased is the same specification that the diamond merchant has described.

Returns Policy

Examine the returns policy of the diamond merchant carefully for any extraordinary or unusual points. When making any purchase over the internet the buyer has a 7 day cooling off period within which to cancel a purchase for a 100% refund,3166 Ugg Sheepskin Cuff Tall Sand Boots. This is because internet retailing falls into the retail category governing selling at a distance and the relevant UK consumer protection laws. All online diamond merchants should mention this as matter of course.

Credit Card

A significant advantage of paying by credit card is that if anything goes wrong with the purchase then the buyer is covered by the UK Consumer Credit Act 1974. The credit card company may then also be liable for the purchase to the same amount as the diamond merchant and payment of the credit card to the amount of the purchase can be withheld until the purchase dispute is resolved.

Escrow Service

An escrow service is effectively an independent third party that ensures receipt of the diamond by the buyer and receipt of payment by the merchant,yours forever..

The process is as follows:

1. The terms of the transaction are agreed between the buyer and merchant and the escrow service is contracted to aid the transaction.

2. The escrow company receives payment from the buyer of the diamond.

3. The escrow company then confirms to the merchant the buyerÂ’s payment has been received.

4. The merchant then sends the diamond to the buyer.

5. The buyer confirms receipt of the diamond to the escrow company.

6. The escrow company sends payment to the merchant.

The escrow service usually charges a small percentage of the purchase cost as a fee. As an indicator of the importance of using an escrow service eBay recommends using one for purchases over £300.

Remember, a large saving is being made by purchasing the diamond online, so it wonÂ’t hurt to get peace of mind for the small percentage an escrow will charge,One boiled egg with a slice of wholewheat bread. But make sure you carry out the appropriate research on any escrow company as there have been instances of fraud.

Independent Appraisal

An extra precautionary check is to have the diamond merchant send the diamond to an independent diamond appraiser so the appraiser can confirm that the diamond matches its Laboratory Certificate. The appraiser will confirm the authenticity to the buyer, who can then arrange payment for the merchant.

Once receipt of payment is confirmed by the merchant, the appraiser can then send the diamond on to the buyer. In this way the appraiser also acts as an escrow service. An insurance appraisal could also be carried out by the same appraiser, which is something any insurance company will need to see before insuring the diamond.

Recorded, signature-required, insured postage

A recorded delivery method that is insurable and requires a signature on arrival is the safest way of receiving the diamond through the mail. Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery with Consequential Loss Damage purchased is an excellent choice. When transporting the diamond by mail always use this method or a similar one for maximum security of delivery.
