Ugg boots are a must for all those fashionable teenagers nowadays. This, of course, does not mean that only those of a certain age or sex are suitable for them. Ugg boots are manufactured for women, men and children too and offer something for everyone with a wide range of styles and colours.
Although these sheepskin boots with their inner wool lining that were primarily produced in Australia and New Zealand, this boot style can now be seen all over the world now. Originally worn by people working in rural areas who had easy access to the materials and could make these boots any time they needed them, these sheepskin boots were also favoured by air force pilots in the wars to keep warm at high altitudes.
More than twenty years ago, the Ugg boots were brought to Cornwall by travellers and the variety of such boots that are still manufactured in the area are called Celt boots.
Ugg boots are now without a doubt the most comfortable option for casual everyday wear and are also very easy to maintain as well. They can be worn perfectly with jeans, tucked in or not, mini skirts and leggings, while the nice colours they are available in makes it easy to match any kind of Ugg boots you have purchased to your style.
Another positive that Ugg boots give to those that wear them is related to the characteristics of sheepskin. Warm and soft to the touch, the sheepskin takes the shape of the foot, keeping it warm and removing any trace of moisture. That is the reason why these type of boots can be worn without socks and the effect is nothing short of amazing. They provide more warmth than a pair of regular leather boots and a pair of woollen socks when worn together.
You can find many sites selling Ugg boots around the world, all offering a good selection of Cardy and Crochet boots bearing all the characteristics of quality Ugg boots. Women everywhere consider them very fashionable whilst being practical at the same time. Many will say they are expensive but I strongly believe we should not economize and buy the cheap Ugg boots that are of inferior quality. These will look the part for a short time but will not last half as long as the real deal.
They are undoubtedly worth buying; anyone who has had the chance of wearing these boots will sustain their quality. Children love them, young people can complement their casual wear any time with a pair of comfy Ugg boots, whatever the colour and even elderly people should give them a try and feel the total relaxation they can provide to their feet.
There are a number of models to choose from, whether you choose the sheep skin to dominate the boots or have the cute knitted variant on. Ugg boots are available in suede or knit uppers with suede heel guard, not to mention the range of colours that make them simply irresistible. There are also lots of accessories to make these boots personal to you, such as fur, side wooden buttons or laces. Each available model is as attractive and excellent to wear. The sheepskin sock liner does most of the job, keeping your feet 'in paradise'.

Helpful Tips on Buying Maternity Clothes by Stuart Sherm
Excited about your maternity, but do not know how to look good?! Looking for the perfect, maternity clothes to stay stylish even when your figure is anything but perfect? Read ahead for some helpful maternity clothes fashion tips:
1. Selection of the right fabric- Opt for a fabric that does good to your appearance. Fabrics with a smooth silky flow that falls luxuriously on your body makes a great choice. Make sure that it feels comfortable to wear, and is stretchable too. During maternity, it is best to opt for clothes in such materials that do not look shabby, and don't develop creases easily. Fabrics like jersey are great options. They look fabulous, and feel great too.
2. Flaunt your Curves- As you enter maternity, feel proud to show off your over sized belly. You don't have to try hiding your curves. Remember, after a few months, it would get impossible to hide your curves any way. It is therefore best to accept the huge belly gracefully and instead of hiding it, just let it be. It will save you from the strain of having to make uncomfortable conscious efforts to hide your belly that would only make you look silly when your efforts finally go futile.
3. Dress with simplicity- This is one of the most important fashion tips to follow as you dress during your maternity. Regardless of how much you like to dress, and whether you are used to over dressing or not, when it comes to dressing during maternity, it is best to follow the 'simple and elegant' mantra. Dress rich and classy if you want to, but try not to pile up too much of stuff on yourself. For instance, for a dinner party, a simple gown, with a nice necklace would be just right for you, even if you are somebody who does not go without elaborately designed clothes and accessories. A nice matured look, with a touch of elegance, is something that really suits a to-be- mother!
4. Size of the clothes- Opt for such maternity clothes that fit well. Though to most mothers, opting for loose, extra baggy clothes seems like a great idea, remember, a smart look is always better than a shabby look. However, do not make the mistake of buying clothes that are just fitting either. Go for clothes that fit you well on the back and the shoulders, and are comfortably loose and airy at the belly. These days, special maternity clothes designed extra large at the bellies have become the most preferred choice.
5. Clothes that grow- Maternity clothes should preferably be extremely stretchable, so that they can grow in size with your belly. This adds utility to the clothes, so that you can wear them for many more months during your pregnancy period.
So get some amazing maternity clothes for those cherished months of your life, as your baby develops in your womb. Flaunt it and wear T-shirts with tag lines announcing the baby's arrival! Look great with the right maternity clothes and celebrate your joy, not just feeling, but also looking great!

Natural Wrinkle Reducer-Wrinkle Filler Combination by Margaret Bell
Instead of wrinkle filler, wouldn’t you prefer an effective natural wrinkle reducer? Or, how about something that fills them in, making them less visible, and reduces them, over time? There’s something new that will do just that.
New Zealand’s KERATEC Company has found a way to extract keratin from sheep’s wool, make it soluble and digestible, without destroying the functionality of the protein. Keratin is normally hard and non-soluble. In the past, companies have had to denaturalize it, rendering it inactive, in order to include it in lotions and creams.
Through a patented process KERATEC solved the problem. The “functional†keratin can be found in the best wrinkle filler on the market and will soon be available in dietary supplements that support bone and joint health.
As a natural wrinkle reducer the protein has shown many benefits in clinical studies. It works as wrinkle filler by refracting light and making the skin appear smoother than it actually is. But, that’s not all it can do.
As we age, our bodies produced fewer new skin cells. The outer layers become thinner and more easily damaged. Aging skin cells produce more free radicals, while levels of antioxidants that normally prevent free radicals from damaging the cellular membrane and collagen fibers continue to decrease.
Free radical damage causes the release of a chemical compound that increases inflammation and redness. All of these molecular changes lead to sagging wrinkled skin.
KERATEC’s natural wrinkle reducer has been shown in clinical studies to increase skin cell proliferation by as much as 160% in as little as three days. It has antioxidant activity doubling that of vitamin C. So, it gets the free radicals back under control.
It blocks the release of the chemical that leads to inflammation by as much as 70%. And it increases firmness and elasticity by 27% immediately.
Most moisturizers on the market increase firmness initially, but when measured 24 hours later, the levels have returned to normal. With this new wrinkle filler, firmness and elasticity remains 22% higher.
Now, you have to be careful, because there is another so-called natural wrinkle reducer on the market that is actually a synthetically created protein. It has never been tested for safety and if the company’s claims are true, the FDA says that it should be classified as a new drug and fully analyzed before being returned to the market.
Marketers advertise is as a Botox alternative. It’s called Argireline and it is a common ingredient in wrinkle filler. According to manufacturer claims, it paralyzes tiny facial muscles. That’s something that you really don’t want to do. The effects could be permanent.
The best choice is to look for Functional Keratin and other ingredients that you’ll recognize like coenzyme Q10, natural vitamin E, seaweed extract and grape seed oil. Remember that most companies do not include enough active components to be effective.
The active compounds may account for as little as 10% of the ingredients. The best natural wrinkle reducer is composed mostly of active compounds, at least 40%. Now, you know what to look for.

Weight Loss Diet For Moms by deva
Weight loss for moms needs special considerations. Moms are special people and they need the best care especially after childbirth. The post-pregnancy period and the childbirth itself takes a massive toll on moms. After birth,moms will face greater challenges in losing weight,getting back to shape,healing themselves and at the same time having to care for baby. However,weight loss cannot be delayed.
Moms need to look and feel good soon after childbirth. They need to be able to quickly fit into their sexy jeans,sleeveless tee shirts and all the clothes they like after months of maternity wear. To do this,they need to get rid of their Jiggly Arms, Thunder Thighs, Scary Cellulite or excess fat hanging out their sides. The solution for moms is to lose weight and to lose it fast.
As time would be a constraint and given the fact that their bodies have been put through massive stress,moms need to be careful in choosing how they want to lose weight. Here, moms need to know that they need both diet and and exercise for effective weight loss. Not any weight loss diet or exercise though. To lose weight, moms need a diet that has variety and nutrition as well one that is simple to prepare.
For a start,the weight loss exercise cannot be anything vigorous. For moms to lose weight,it has to be light and targeted at caloric burn minus the punishing and time consuming regimes. Moms need to be aware that they must also do Kegel's exercises so that their pelvic floors can regain their original tone.
To lose weight, moms need to choose a diet that gives due weight to its overall contribution to weight loss. It would be even better if they choose a weight loss diet that incorporates both diet and exercise as a complete weight loss system. This is due to the fact that exercise contributes 80% and exercise the other 20% to weight loss.
A weight loss diet system that offers 40,000 different combinations,is easy to follow and exercises that can be done in the comfort of the home would be ideal for moms. Additionally, the diet should not be one that is based on eating low carbs,low fat diets,starvation diet,pre-packaged diets or any of the trendy Hollywood diets. It must simply be the best,most effective and affordable diet for mom's weight loss.

Women's Clothing,Shoes and Accessories Is About Self Expression & Self Confidence by Heidi Sulin
Women's clothing and Fashion sense is ever-changing. Women are finding it increasingly hard to afford the latest fashion items to keep up with the current trends. Unfortunately most of these items are only "in" for one season and after that they are left to dust in your closet. If you are one of the brand conscious women who will only buy clothing from the top end of the high street as you feel you will get more quality for your money, you are even more likely to see the impact on your savings.
If you are on a tight budget you should invest in a few key pieces that will stay in fashion season after season and will enable you to mix and match them with some more trendy items. These could be a black or beige trouser suit, a skirt (if you choose a beige trouser suit, you could choose a black skirt to go with the jacket), nicely fitted jeans and a red and white cardigan. If you can only buy 2 items then you should invest in a good handbag and a nice piece of jewellery. How you look speaks more than a thousand words and having an expensive looking (note!) handbag and a necklace can make a world of a difference.
Style doesn't necessarily mean a big budget as women who shop in Primark have already discovered. You can find real bargains that are just as good (sometimes even better) than the more costly alternatives. Instead of buying clothing made out of silk and other expensive materials you could opt for satin and chiffon, giving you that luxurious feeling. You might have a hard time finding bargains on the high street so why not venture online instead? The internet offers more variety for women and the best thing is that you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Trust me; you will never want to go back to the crowded shops and long queues.
We women live in a fashion orientated world. As a woman you constantly feel the pressure to look good and fashionable and this means spending a pocket-full of money on clothing, jewellery and accessories. The problem is that you only tend to use these items for a very limited period and after that you cant really wear them as you dont want to feel "unfashionable". Instead of spending enormous amounts of cash on the latest trends, women should focus on finding those few key pieces that really work for their figure. They will then find it much easier to combine these with some of the latest fashion items. This will save your lots of money quickly as you wont have to buy as many seasonal clothes. Another way to save money without compromising the quality is choosing fabrics such as satin and chiffon.
If you can only buy two things then they should be an expensive looking handbag and a quality piece of women's jewellery. Once again, this does not mean spending half of your wages to get your hands on them. There are magical places out there where you are guaranteed to find some real bargains. This brings me to my final and most important point; internet shopping. The World Wide Web is full of Aladdin's caves for the keen bargain hunter. Not only is it the cheapest way to shop but also the most comfortable. The Internet has taken a huge leap towards the future and is today a very safe way to shop with discounts amounting to as much as 85%! Ladies, the world is your oyster-" Happy bargain hunting!

Work at Home Mom - The Secret to Success by Jeff Casmer
Becoming a work at home mom can be a trying experience. Your patience is tested. You're making sacrifices you never expected to and you are taking risks that you never had to before. You are suddenly being challenged within many different realms when you become a work at mom or dad for that matter. But this article is about women.
Despite the many successful home-based businesses being run by women, some women still feel a little uneasy getting into the work at home game. You're no longer just another employee; you are a business woman. And business, despite the changes, is still heavily dominated by men.
Its not that women don't feel as if they deserve to be among the top players or that a work at home mom feels less valuable than a work at home dad, its that many women see themselves as mothers first and entrepreneurs second.
You would think that having your family and business under the same roof would help to fuse the dichotomies but unfortunately some women still feel as though they are in a tug of war between a happy home and a profitable business.
The most frequent complaint among work at home moms is that they feel guilty. They feel guilty when they working to establish a successful business because that takes them away from their kids. They feel guilty when they are spending time with their kids because that takes them away from their business.
Women want to have it all. And they should. A work at home mom should not feel guilty for prioritizing one over the other. The key to a successful and less stressful work at home life is balance.
1) Get Support
The first thing to do is to get the family involved. Your husband and children will bother you less if they support you. With the right incentives you can get them to help out with household chores. For example, if you mention that you have a big project to get done but that you'll treat them to pizza and a movie when you get paid you've given them something to look forward to.
For younger children ask them to help out. Have them stuff envelopes or set up a small desk for your toddler to color next to you. Including them in your work day makes them feel important to your work life and your home life.
2) Set up a routine
If you were working outside the home you would have a timetable. There would be a set amount of time you devoted to work and time that was spent with your family.

Include your home and personal life into your timetable. Your kids and husband will not appreciate you working for 15 hours.
As a work at home mom you will experience some ups and downs but it is worth it if you manage to create the life you want.

Work at Home Mom: Double the Trouble? by Jeff Casmer
The average work at home mom spends countless hours a day trying to juggle both her personal and professional life under the same roof. At the end of the day a number of work at home moms are burnt out. Some, unfortunately, have very little to show for it financially.
The average income for a work at home is less than $500. Now if you are working from home to simply make a little extra then this is nothing to be alarmed about. However, if your goal is to create a full time income with your work at home job then this news should entice you to sit up and pay attention.
Why is the income not as high as many of the sites brag about? Its partly due to poor management skills and a lack of business confidence. True, not every work at home mom can be a millionaire but an income of $2000-$5000 a month is very attainable. However, about 70 percent of work at home moms in the U.S. alone fail to make this amount.
As I said before part of the problem is managing their time and business unwisely. Now before you become defensive many men suffer from this as well. However, men tend to outsource more than women. Thus, they are more likely to find someone to do the jobs that they cant do well themselves or dont have time for.
Statistically, women tend to want to take on everything themselves. Consequently, they can easily put too much on their plates too soon. As a work at home mom you should consider what areas you want to devote your time to within your business and what areas you can afford to outsource. There are numerous resources on the internet to help you find the right person for the job. Whether that be building your website, using SEO experts, or a copywriter.
This also applies to your personal life. Dont be afraid to ask for help from your husband and children with chores around the house. You can even find ways to incorporate your children into your work at home job. They can stuff envelops or staple documents. Time is money and every second saved helps.
Another reason a work at home mom may have a low income is the increasing problem of women under pricing themselves. A work at home mom will work more hours than her male counterpart, but recent job studies show she will work for less. Know your value as a woman. You make up 80 of the consumer force and you have a lot of power. Harness this power and start using it.
Start by finding out what youre worth is in your industry. Judge your experience, skills and niche demand to determine your true market price. Second, learn to effectively negotiate. Dont think that because your competition is staggering you should price yourself well below the market.
A successful work at home mom works for what shes worth not less. She respects herself too much to settle for anything else.
Each time you master a new skill, each time you satisfy another client or make another sale your value goes up. Keep a binder and computer file of your successes and bring it to the table when you need to negotiate your fees. Remember, you shouldnt overprice yourself but you should never sell yourself short either.
You can earn the income you want as a work at home mom. But to do this you have to start believing in yourself. Once you realize the power within you, you will feel more comfortable asking for help and charging your worth. All of this will make you a happier, more successful work at home mom.

Work at Home Moms - Whats Holding You Back? by Jeff Casmer
What is the number one excuse standing between a work at home mom and her success? Ask this question to a group of women and you'll always get answers like the following:
"My family, they don't support me."
"Money, I don't have enough to improve my business."
"Time, I never seem to have enough to devote to my work at home job."
Some even say, me, I don't have enough confidence. This, I believe, is the real reason many women are not achieving the success they can in their work at home job.
A work at home mom can have all the skills and equipment needed to make her job a profitable venture, but without confidence it is highly unlikely that she will earn what she is worth.
Confidence is something you need in every aspect of life, including being a work at home mom. You need to be able to rely and believe in your own power to make things work.
I was asked once what the difference was between a successful work at home mom and an unsuccessful one was. My answer was simple- self esteem. She doesn't let anything stand in her way of creating her own happiness and that includes herself.
She doesn't spend time feeling sorry for herself when things don't turn out. And shes not afraid to go after the things that will make her happier, even if it involves some risk. She also applies common sense and practicality to the things she does. This means doing the required research before she begins anything.
A work at home mom who believes in herself is not afraid to ask for help. Whether it be from colleagues or her family. So many women struggle with their responsibilities as a work at home mom simply because they don't want to admit that they need a little help.
A confident work at home mom is up to date. She knows whats going on in her industry and she makes use of latest techniques to help her run a more effective and efficient work at home job.
She makes every effort to put herself out there, even if that means getting out of her comfort zone. And shes not afraid of change.
Being a work at home mom is not like working a day job in an office downtown. You are faced with different challenges and it can be a greater struggle to juggle both your personal and professional life. But when you are a confident work at home mom you're not afraid of these challenges.
Confidence is not just a sureness that you can get the job done; it also applies to keeping positive in the event something goes wrong.
Something will, at some point, go wrong. It is a true test of character to see how you will manage. If you are confident you know its not the end of the world. It simply means you need to reevaluate they way things are and try to come up with a new solution. But when you lack confidence the slightest thing can cause you to want to jump ship.
Becoming a confident work at home mom takes time, but it is worth doing the work on yourself. You will experience more success in your work at home job when you are a confident work at home mom.

Perfume - The Other Identity by Roberto Sedycias
Perfume was first made in Mesopotamia, by a chemist called Tapputi, in the 2nd century BC. Lately, archeologists have unearthed the oldest perfumery in Cyprus. With all the amenities required to make perfumes; this place still had remnants of perfumes that were made 4000 years back. A book, on the various methods to extract aromatic oils, was written by an Arabian named Al-Kindi, in the 9th century.
The process of distillation was first introduced by a Persian chemist Avicenna. Before that, perfumes were a blend of herbs, flowers and fragrant oils. The art of making perfumes spread to Europe in the early 14th century, due to Islamic rule. The first manufacturer of the advanced form of scents was Hungary. In 1370, there was the production of perfume, which as a mixture of aromatic oils in alcoholic solution. This was ordered by Queen Elizabeth of Hungary and was known as Hungary Water. Soon Italy began making perfumes and prospered in it.
In the 16th century, France became the leading manufacturer of perfumes. Plants were being cultivated on a large scale, for their fragrant flowers. Initially, perfume was made only for royal and other wealthy families. The Grasse area of France was used mainly for the cultivation of aromatic plants so that the raw material could be steadily supplied to the growing perfume industry.
The source of fragrance is mainly three, the plants, animals and the synthetic source. Aromatics are usually produced to guard against infections and to lure pollinating agents. Different parts of the plants produce different kinds of scent. The various parts come in useful for the manufacture of perfume. Cinnamon and Cascarilla roots are very useful sources of raw material. The most common and useful source of scent is the plant blossom. Jasmine, rose, mimosa and tuberose are some of the commonly used flowers .The blossom of citrus fruits and the y-Lang y- Lang tree.
Though usually used as a spice, the clove blossom too is a rich source of fragrance. The citrus fruits, like orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit greatly contribute to the making of perfumes. Rosemary, lavender, sage and violet leaves are highly aromatic too. The roots of the ginger family, the seeds of coriander, caraway, anise cocoa, mace and nutmeg are common ingredients of the perfume making process.
Wood again has a strong effect. Wood of the pine tree, birch, cedar, and sandal wood has definite smells and form the main fragrance tone. A resin from coniferous trees is used too. Animals contribute in their own ways. Ambergris, obtained from the Sperm Whale is a common ingredient used. Castoreum, form the beaver, civets from the mongoose family, honeycomb from bees, musk from deer are indispensable raw materials for perfumes. Other natural contributors are the lichens and the sea weeds.
After the perfume is made its preservation is important and that can be done if it is kept away from the heat, strong light, oxygen and other organic matter.
The ingredients used in making fragrances, no matter whether they are natural or synthetic, do have adverse effects on the environmental. These generally cause diseases like asthma, nausea and allergy. Inhaling some of the perfumes can cause irritation for the skin too.
Prolonged use of some perfumes may have carcinogenic effects. Large quantities of musk that are synthetic are often used in detergents. Food items like milk is also said to contain these, at times. The water underground often gets contaminated due to the effluents of the perfume industry. Illegal harvesting of certain plants, damage of trees, and the killing of animals to supply material to manufacture a luxury product like the perfume is endangering several species.

FEAR OF AGING: It Hits Us All by Hattie
FEAR OF AGING: It Hits Us All
There comes a point in our lives that we become obsessed with aging. For some of us, it happens when we see those first tiny wrinkles in the corners of our eyes, or when we just can't shed those extra pounds we packed on over the holidays. With the passage of years, these early fears bloom full out. As we approach our forties, many of us become really frightened of becoming old. Forty is awfully close to fifty...and very few people think of fifty as young. Fifty starts sounding like old fogey or, even more dreaded, Senior Citizen.
I have created RetroAge to bring to you a totally transformed way of experiencing aging. Have you ever considered that the negative stereotypes that bombard you daily strongly impact how you will actually age? With enough negative feedback, it's no surprise that we all fear the aging process. We're programmed to fear it! Certainly, it seems we are justified in dreading aging. As we look about us, we see unappealing, hunched-over older people. We see diseases, wheel chairs, halting gait, poor memory, sluggishness, sadness, false teeth, nursing homes. It's frightening. Sad to say, many people's lives do become awful as they age. But I believe that this happens because of negative conditioning, and poor self-care. If you choose to have a different future, you can change those dreadful images into hopeful, appealing ones. And... the agent of change is RetroAge! RetroAge provides you with a choice for your future. Either you can, quite literally, stand by and wait for your face to wrinkle, your joints to ache and your memory to fade, or you can take action to reverse almost all negative aspects of aging. Yes. How you age is in your hands. Grasp it, respect it, and you'll transform an inevitable decline into an exciting uphill climb. Yes, it's a climb. But it's surely worth it! See you on the mountain!

FACE LIFTS: by Hattie
FACE LIFTS: Are You Considering Having One?
If you’ve been seriously considering having a facelift, and you are hoping I will give you some good advice on the best way to go about getting one, you’re in for a shock. I TOTALLY DISAPPROVE OF CUTTING THE FACE FOR AESTHETIC, OR COSMETIC REASONS IN ORDER TO LOOK YOUNGER. Why am I being so adamant in my view? After all, facelifts are quickly becoming as common as dying one’s hair. They’re treated like a relatively simple procedure, after which the individual will look young and ravishing. Adding to all the hype that appears daily in magazines and TV ads, are the celebrity photos in the gossip magazines that show famous people looking younger than ever. They seem to be making a convincing case for plastic surgery, but mostly, that super-young look is created with Photo Shop and considerable computer touch-ups. What is actually happening with this surgery? First of all, facelifts are a medical, surgical procedure…all of which entail certain risks, like scarring, disfigurement, loss of sensation, even paralysis. When muscles and nerves are severed, and the energy meridians of the body are distorted, permanent damage to the face is guaranteed to occur. It may not show up immediately, but ultimately, the face begins to look weird because natural expressions no longer can occur. You may be thinking, “What’s the alternative, if I want to look young?†My answer is not to aim for looking young, but instead to aim for radiant health, uniqueness, and the true beauty that emanates from within. I often josh, and say, “Facelifts are like potato chips. You can’t have just one!†Though this is facetious, it’s also true. Each time the facial muscles are cut and the skin is stretched, the recovery from surgery is more difficult. A person can be left with a face that looks like a mask. Is that what you want? I don’t. I’ve created a series of “Lift Your Face†exercises that have helped me maintain a toned, glowing face. In my 70’s, I do have some wrinkles, but with constant massage and moisturizing, they are soft and interesting. Yes, interesting. For me, a “real†face, with animation and emotions that show, is a face I believe we should all chose for our entire lives. It’s not young vs. old. It’s real vs. fake. What choice will you make?

WRINKLES: CAN YOU MAKE THEM GO AWAY? by Hattie
WRINKLES: CAN YOU MAKE THEM GO AWAY?
These days everyone seems to be complaining about wrinkles and aging. Both men and women are worried about what they look like, and they are filled with questions as to what to do about their concerns. Naturally, this makes for a very fertile field for cosmetic and skincare companies. Television and print ads are appearing regularly with promises to keep us young forever. Well, the bad news is that, like linen, skin is guaranteed to wrinkle. BUT, there’s good news to counter that awful prediction: Anyone, at any age can smooth and soften those inevitable lines and wrinkles! Yes, daily moisturizing and periodic exfoliation can assure a face that is not punctuated by dry, unsightly wrinkles and lines. And once you get into the habit of truly taking care of your skin, the results will astound you. Here’s my personal regime: 1. I use only creams without chemicals, colorings or perfumes. All are ultimately damaging to the skin. I purchase my face and body care products from my local Health Food Store and from Ardath Aromas. Then my skin “knows†that it’s getting the purest and finest ingredients, with no toxins. 2. I wash with Dr. Bronner’s Lavender soap….yes, SOAP! Our skin excretes oils, and atmospheric pollutants are often oil-based. Since all oils get rancid, which is aging, they must be washed completely away every day. 3. Post-washing it’s important to rinse thoroughly with cool water before applying moisturizer. 4. As to exfoliation, I NEVER USE commercial products that promise to remove dead skin. Instead I vigorously brush my skin with a natural fiber buff pad or brush. This removes dead cells, increases circulation, and stimulates the skin to a glowing freshness and brightness. Want a totally wrinkle-free face? I say, no way. Want a lovely, clean glowing, sexy face, at every age? To that I say, “yes.†Take good care of your skin, and it will take good care of you.

WHAT CAUSES AGING…AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT by Hattie
WHAT CAUSES AGING…AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
There’s no denying that aging is a fact. There’s no point in fighting time, because it’s not under our control. Now that definitely doesn’t mean that aging isn’t under our control. To a great degree, our thoughts, attitudes and actions determine how we age. It’s been proven time and time again that how we treat ourselves, and how we view ourselves can greatly affect the aging process. If you are a person who gives in to the ravages of time, you will become infirm, unfit and unattractive, just as you feared. However, if instead you decide to take the necessary steps to create youthfulness for your entire life, that prize can be yours. It takes work, commitment and courage. You know that you must exercise and eat carefully, but are you doing it? You must truly acknowledge that with reversing aging, the stakes are high. If you are ready to accept the downsides of being older, they will definitely visit you. But if you are resolute about changing your habits, you will reap the benefits of a life of productivity and ageless beauty. What can you do right now? �--� Begin a vigorous exercise program. If you need motivation, hire a trainer. �--� Eliminate all fried foods, white sugar and flour and all fast foods. �--� Make sure to eat fresh fruit and vegetables daily, preferably organically grown. �--� Research vitamins, minerals and herbs, and begin taking them regularly. �--� KEEP CHECKING YOURSELF, FRONT AND BACK, IN THE MIRROR IN A WELL-LIGHTED ROOM. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FLAWS, AND QUICKLY TAKE STEPS TO CHANGE THEM SO THAT THEY ARE PLEASING TO YOU.
ONE OF MY “HATTIETUDES†IS “WHAT GETS HIDDEN, GETS UGLY†�--� AND, IF YOUR CHOOSE NOT TO CHANGE CERTAIN THINGS, THAT’S FINE, JUST MAKE SURE TO HONOR AND RESPECT YOUR CHOICES…AND THE AGING PROCESS ITSELF. “BE GOOD TO YOURSELF THROUGH TIME, AND TIME WILL RETURN THE FAVOR!â€

SEX AND AGING by Hattie
SEX AND AGING Different…But Still Wonderful
I don’t think that there’s one living soul that doesn’t fear that aging will rob them of the joys of sex. This fear, though natural, and certainly common, does not have to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We are brainwashed into believing that making love is reserved for the young, and because of this, we often spend our golden years dreading the future. Who wants that? I certainly didn’t. As soon as I “hit†menopause â€" or, if you prefer â€" when it hit me â€" I vowed to do everything in my power not to lose my sex drive. I quickly realized that to achieve this goal would take focus and work. I was up for both. After all, with such high stakes, my motivation was strong. This is what I learned. First of all, you must start by appreciating yourself. Nothing takes away sexuality faster than self-hatred. Whenever a nasty thought about aging surfaces, turn it around immediately. As you develop a deep love for yourself at every stage of life, you will reap the benefits that time provides. Yes, your love-making style will change. Perhaps you’re not as fit as you once were. Or, if you’re ill, that will interfere as well. But there’s a difference between something not being the same, and something that is gone forever. I believe that the capacity for love increases over the years, not decreases. So, if the physical expression of love, which may not be as strong as it once was, is enhanced with greater emotional and spiritual attributes, your sex life, though different, can be deeply satisfying, wonderful…and let’s not forget…FUN!

MAKING MENOPAUSE MARVELOUS… by Hattie
MAKING MENOPAUSE MARVELOUS… ARE YOU KIDDING?
Rarely will you hear any woman say that she is happy about the arrival of menopause. Now, I’m not about to attempt to convince you that this time in life is fabulous. That wouldn’t be a fair promise. Menopause does confront us with many realities that we’d probably rather not face. But face them we must, and when we do, I can promise you that wonderful surprises are in store for you. The first step for any woman approaching menopause is to acknowledge her doubts and fears. Changes at any age or stage generally cause us to become frightened and insecure. We question, “What will happen to me now?†and uncertainty never feels good. I want to share with you that I too was terrified that I would become chubby, sexless, wrinkled and unappealing. But, my menopause arrived 22 years ago, and none of these fears have materialized. Sure, I’m older, but rather than allowing my fears to overtake my Being, I decided to treat menopause as a new and exciting challenge. I began an exercise program, which included swimming several times a week at a local pool. That made me stronger, and kept me from gaining weight. Then I researched special herbs that help women overcome some of the physical downsides of menopause, like night sweats and hot flashes. I discovered a wonderful herb, Royal Maca, from a company called Whole World Botanicals, and added herbs to my health regime.
For me, menopause, in its own way, proved to be a blessing. It forced me to truthfully face myself, and gave me the courage and motivation to make the changes that make a difference in my own life…and, ultimately in the lives of those around me. As you take action to make your own menopause marvelous, no matter what you have to face, you will transform from being a discouraged, complaining older woman, into a glowing example of mature beauty. And, being an inspiration is a fine way to spend one’s life!

How to Clean Your CZ Jewelry by Brenda Ogilvie
Cleaning your CZ jewelry is so easy. You can take some of the tips listed here and make it even more convenient and time saving. Your CZ jewelry pieces will sparkle and shine brighter than the most expensive diamond if you take the time to treat them right. They will last for years and years giving you much enjoyment and beauty. Cubic zirconia can sometimes not be differentiated from diamond jewelry pieces because of the sparkle and the intrigues of the designs. Cubic zirconia has been classified by gemologists as being the next type of stone that closely resembles a diamond. They are rising in popularity because of their price and because they are more versatile than wearing a diamond.
The Causes Of Dullness
The CZ is in need of being cleaned just as a diamond would to keep it looking its best. The gems can loose their shine from the many lotions, hairspray, sweat, or everyday environmental materials that get stuck on them. To remove lotion and soap from the CZ jewelry you might find it takes a little more effort than normal. The smallest amount of this being on your jewelry and the shine and sparkle will just fade. It is important to keep the CZ clean to make it look like new all the time.
Soft Brush Cleaning
An easy way to clean your CZ jewelry is to use a soft brush. A toothbrush will work fine for this and will be able to get into the small spots. Warm water and some sort of liquid soap is best. Just dip your brush into it and lightly rub the stones to take off the nasty substances.
Rinse the pieces with warm or hot water and then use a soft cloth to dry the piece. If you need to remove more after the first cleaning, just repeat this process again until clean. For hard substances, the CZ jewelry can be soaked in a third part detergent and two-thirds part hot water to loosen the debris.
Stay Away From Rough Items
Never use harsh and rough ingredients on your CZ jewelry as it will scratch and damage the piece. Bleach, ammonia, or chlorine is to be avoided at all cost. The damage they can cause is irreversible and you will be out a beautiful piece of CZ jewelry. The stone itself may not be damaged but the delicate metal around the stone can be destroyed. If the debris on the CZ jewelry will not come off with a normal soak and cleaning, do not se any of these chemicals to remove it. You will need to have a professional jeweler clean it for you. They will also be able to look at the cubic zirconia and tell if it is loose or needs repair to keep it long lasting.
Take It Off
The most basic of rules for CZ jewelry is that when you apply lotions, soap or other things to your body; remember to remove your CZ jewelry first. It will make it much easier to clean and care for this way. Just do not forget it when you are finished. Also, store your cubic zirconia in a soft place in your jewelry box to stop it from being scratched and lost.

BOTOX: by Hattie
BOTOX: A Solution to Aging Skin?
We see it everywhere…the Miracle of Botox. The TV screen flashes images of young, smiling faces, with nary a wrinkle in sight. All of a sudden, you find yourself looking at yourself in the mirror, disgusted with every line, wrinkle, or any other imperfection, real or imagined. It should come as no surprise that there is no such thing as perfect skin. Even babies have frown and forehead lines when they cry. The only way for skin to appear perfect is by covering it with make-up. This doesn’t change anything, but it does give the look of younger, clearer skin by hiding imperfections. I often say to clients, “Change the drapes and the sofa looks old.†Consider this. Do you want a Formica face -- one that is expressionless and without character? Now, with Botox, you are not hiding your frown lines, you are allowing the muscles that control natural facial expressions to be paralyzed with a toxic substance. Yes, that’s what’s happening. Botox stands for Botulism Toxin. While an injection of Botox will effectively eliminate several lines or wrinkles temporarily, it is doing so at the expense of your health. The liver must process all toxins that enter the body, and if it is bombarded by botulism, it may become overtaxed and unable to keep up its job of maintaining your well-being. Not only that, it’s not a one-shot deal! By beginning this process of injecting the face, you are incurring a life filled with ongoing visits to your dermatologist. I believe that besides being expensive, and time-consuming, choosing Botox injections is a dangerous ill-advised choice. It’s been said that before 30 you have the face that Nature gave you, and after 30 you get the face you deserve. The passage of time certainly will result in signs of aging etched onto the face. But is that to be despised? I say, “honor and appreciate yourself, and the face you create will glow and radiate life at every stage and every age.†As you learn to appreciate your true beauty, which comes from within, I suspect you will be able to forcibly say “no†to any suggestion of Botox, or even to Facelifts. We each have within us the capacity for Exquisiteness of Being. Therein lies eternal youth and beauty. And you deserve that!

The Difference Between CZ Jewelry and Diamonds by Brenda Ogilvie
Can you tell the difference between a real diamond and a piece of CZ jewelry? Most people have no clue about the differences in each that make them unique. What makes the CZ so popular? Gemologists are in agreement that of all the gemstones in the world, the Cubic Zirconia is the closest to being like the diamond than any other. Even the professionals can not tell the difference between the stones in CZ jewelry and diamond jewelry just by looking at them. It takes training and special equipment to see which is which. When brought to close inspection, the CZ jewelry has a lower amount of brilliance to it and more color flashes.
History Of The CZ
Cubic Zirconia stones were created by Russians for use in their space program where diamonds had previously been the choice for adding to lasers for optics. A Cubic Zirconia stone has an index of refractive light, hardness, and light dispersion that is so very similar to a diamond. What are the features that help one tell the difference between a diamond and a piece of CZ jewelry? Get out your special microscope and unique jewelers loupe to find out the real test to see.
Stone Hardness
The first thing to consider is the hardness of the stones. A cubic zirconia stone has a hardness number of about 9 on the hardness scale created by MOH. A diamond rates a ten on the same scale as the hardest stone found today. Pretty close, huh? A piece of glass is only about a 5 as is sand. These materials will not scratch either the diamond or the CZ because their number is lower. CZ jewelry can scratch a piece of glass as if it were a diamond.
Stone Weight
A diamond and CZ used in CZ jewelry are definitely different when it comes to weight. The cubic zirconia is much heavier than a diamond. Cubic zirconia weight is almost 2 points higher of a diamond which measures the same size. A one carat diamond is the same as a two carat CZ and it costs less. Diamonds are almost without flaws whereas a stone used in CZ jewelry has some problem with it. It might be a feather in the stone or an impurity.
Color And Facets
No color in a diamond means it is a rare commodity. Most of them are some shade of yellow. Others lower in grade can be a brown tint. CZ jewelry is almost colorless like a pure diamond would be clueing you in that it is not a precious stone. The facets that contribute to a stones brilliance and color are different in the CZ. Only by the use of a loupe can you tell the shapes are different in a diamond stone. The way they project and break the colors of the light is also different. This light projection and color spectrum is why a CZ has more fire and colors projected than a real diamond stone.

AGING AND SATISFYING SEX: by Hattie
AGING AND SATISFYING SEX: CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?
One of the most haunting fears of young people is that aging will take away their sex drive. Or worse yet, they’ll still have the desire, but won’t be appealing or desirable. Well, I’m in my 70’s, and I want to assure you that this needn’t be the case. Think about it. Who doesn’t know many young people who appear to be so unattractive that sexuality seems to be as unlikely as a snowball surviving in the tropics? And contrast that with the many older individuals who have actively maintained a healthy, vibrant, productive life. They look, and act sexy. It’s all about energy and focus. Personally, that very fear of losing my looks and appeal is what has kept motivating me to eat less and exercise more! When you get down to it, being sexual is not about age. It’s about desire and discipline. If you truly wish to be desirable at every age, you have to work at it. Yes, the “w†word ��" work! But when you acknowledge the long-term gains from taking superb care of your body, the work becomes second nature…. even enjoyable. And let’s not overlook the importance of mastering a positive mental outlook. Let’s face it. Our minds are constantly delivering all sorts of negative messages to us. “Who will want you anyway†You’re too old!†“There’s no one out there for you.†“Stop expecting great sex. It’s over, girl.†Yes, we “hear†this stuff a lot. Some of it comes from society’s cruel judgments, but much of it comes from inside of ourselves. It takes constant practice, but if you truly wish to change from negative to positive, you can achieve that goal. I’ve created a list of “Hattietudes†that inspire me. My favorite is: The opposite of old isn’t young…it’s new! Don’t give up. Keep renewing your life, your thoughts, your surroundings, and, as a natural consequence, your sexuality is sure to follow.

AGING SKIN: Can We Do Anything About It? by Hattie
AGING SKIN: Can We Do Anything About It?
Hardly a day goes by in which we are not faced with the dangers of sun exposure. How many of us can recall our youthful years of slathering ourselves with baby oil, and lying out in the midday sun to catch those precious tanning rays? Yes, that’s what we did, mindless of its skin aging effects and potential skin cancer risks. There’s a song that teases: “Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.†That sentiment might have been uttered in jest, but these days, skin cancer, brown age spots and prematurely aging skin are no laughing matter. You’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating: Do not go out in the midday sun -- that’s from 11 am to 2 pm -- unless you are heavily protected. Now, what do I personally mean when I caution you to be protected? From my point of view, safe sunning requires much, much more than the application of sun block. Here are my suggestions: 1.Always wear a hat. Don’t just wear a cap. Choose a lightweight one with a brim to protect your hair, your scalp and, most importantly, your face. 2.Purchase your sun block at a Health Food store, not at a department store or a pharmacy. When you are exposed to the sun, you do not want to bake dangerous chemicals into you skin. Chemicals exacerbate skin aging, and almost all commercial brands contain them. I recommend Aubrey products, and those you can purchase from the mercola.com website.
3.Wear sunglasses even when you’re swimming. Eyes can be damaged permanently if not properly protected. 4.Use Aloe Vera after any exposure to the sun. It is a natural healer, and helps prevent burning and blistering. If you can purchase a whole leaf from your health food store, do it. Cut away the green skin and apply the inside “guck†to your body. Be careful with your clothing when applying because it stains badly. But whatever its downsides, Aloe Vera is a remarkable resource for keeping your skin young and healthy.
5.Wear lightweight, gauzy all-cotton clothing that covers your skin, but still is appropriate for the hottest days. Cotton protects, absorbs perspiration, and is stylish to boot. 6.Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Use only the finest crèmes, making sure they do not contain parabens, SLS, or mineral oil. Read those labels!
Thus protected, go out and enjoy the beauty and renewal the sun provides.
As a final note, I want to reveal that I do not avoid the sun. Of course I want to avoid skin aging, but I believe we need regular sunlight to produce ample Vitamin D, to keep our bones calcified, and to penetrate into our bone marrow. I want to stress the importance of bone marrow ��" it’s the body’s amazing manufacturing plant that produces both red and white blood cells, essential components of our immune system. Since our bone marrow requires sunlight to pass through the skin, don’t avoid exposure to the sun altogether. Love the sun. But love your skin as well.

Natural Stones Versus Synthetic CZ Jewelry by Brenda Ogilvie
A cubic zirconium is one of the natural stones which is created from an oxide that is naturally occurring in the environment but was becoming rare. Starting in 1980, the cubic zirconium was hand made for use in CZ jewelry. Because it could be made by man, the CZ jewelry was growing in popularity. The fact that it was close to a diamond in almost every way was also a great marketing tool to make it skyrocket in sales. This is still true in the world today.
What Is Synthetic?
Other gemstones like this one are known to be synthetic. Their chemical makeup inside of the real gemstones is still natural but they are able to be reproduced into creation by a human. They can be made at any time or place and for all types of CZ jewelry designs. Being simulated sometimes leads to the misbelieve that they are fake. They are not the same as what is found in nature but costs less for the consumer. Gemstones like the CZ used in CZ jewelry, are man made items that are so close to the real thing they can not be distinguished just by looking at them.
Internet Searching

What Is Synthetic?
Other gemstones like this one are known to be synthetic. Their chemical makeup inside of the real gemstones is still natural but they are able to be reproduced into creation by a human. They can be made at any time or place and for all types of CZ jewelry designs. Being simulated sometimes leads to the misbelieve that they are fake. They are not the same as what is found in nature but costs less for the consumer. Gemstones like the CZ used in CZ jewelry, are man made items that are so close to the real thing they can not be distinguished just by looking at them.

CZ Jewelry -Comparisons of Others by Brenda Ogilvie
Most individuals are under the belief that a cubic zirconium and CZ jewelry are real diamonds when they take a look at them without a microscope or other special tools. Realism has not escaped this stone when comparing it to the diamond. Both are equally beautiful but it is the CZ jewelry that offers you a more reasonable price. More people in lower income ranges are able to purchase at least one piece of their own.
Talking About Luster
A CZ jewelry piece is going to have mush more luster in each stone than a diamond would. Luster means "light, radiance, gloss, or brilliance." This is the best way to describe any of these stones whether real or man made. The luster is dispersed as a common thing knows as fire. The more fire it has the better off it is in terms of value. The cubic zirconium has a larger dispersion rate than a natural diamond of almost 0.020 higher than the other. With this in mind, let us take a look at the following three stones.
Crystal Element
Diamonds and CZ jewelry stones are made from crystals found in nature. A diamond is made completely from carbon while a CZ is from a special zinc oxide. When high heat is applied to both, the end result is a perfectly beautiful stone that has yet to be cut to bring out its brilliance and luster. Making them in the ground or lab is a possibility for these stones but most CZ's are now lab created to save the oxide as a natural resource. These are better anyway for being perfectly created to mimic the diamond.
Hard As Rocks
Diamonds are hard enough to cut a piece of glass. The hardness of the stone will cut through a piece of glass but hen so does the CZ jewelry stone. The facets cut into a gemstone to allow it to disperse its light and luster will be determined on how hard it is before being cut. The term "fire" is present when a CZ jewelry stone takes white light and runs it through the prism to produce multiple colors like a rainbow. A Moissanite is the top stone for producing the most fire and luster in a blue green color. Believe it or not, a diamond produces less fire and color than a CZ jewelry stone can. This means the hardness is different in each.
Brilliant Displays
The luster and shine of a gemstone whether real or synthetic is know in the jewelry world to be brilliance. Brilliance is how the stone will take the light and hold it inside to spread it through the prism when light comes into play. Light gets trapped in the stones and the light and brilliance is seen. The Moissante is at the tope here also with the CZ jewelry stones being at third place. A properly created CZ will make the difference in being attractive to look because of the luster, brilliance, and light it contains.

Shopping From Home Is Easy And Safe by Anthony Coleman
Hundreds of years ago, people rarely traveled more than a mile or two from their homes. At the turn of the last century, people often traveled and it was difficult to get what was needed unless you were willing to go to town for it. Phone ordering from catalogs made it easier to get things delivered right to your door, but it was the advent of the Internet that made it possible to life your entire life without ever leaving your home.
Online shopping is easy and safe. It has become possible to buy nearly everything, from apparel to electronics and from jewelry to games, toys, and sports equipment. In fact, by shopping online you can get food, automotive parts, and even computers and computer accessories. Moreover, online shopping reduces cost, and is a do it yourself experience.
Home shopping is a lot more pleasant when you know that you can trust the company that you are buying from. Companies like http://Target.com will offer you deals at a great price for things that are sold in their stores, and often even more. You can get everything from books to home/garden supplies or healthy/beauty supplies.
If you prefer computers, look for an online site like http://Newegg.com, which offers some of the best deals on high end computers and computer accessories. If you are looking for something a little less high end, try comparison sites like http://Cnet.com or http://Buydig.com, which will offer you price comparisons, product ratings, and more for all of your favorite high tech gear.
Looking for product ratings is actually a great way to ensure that you are getting a quality product when you are shopping online. Hearing the opinions of others is especially important when you will not be in the store to hold a product in your hand and see for yourself if you think you will like it.
You can search for recommendations on other things, too. If you are shopping for games, search for the name of the game along with the word "reviews" to get opinions on games for your family or circle of friends. You may also be able to find these reviews at sites like Amazon and Target, where customers are encouraged to both rate and review products that they enjoy.
If you can work from home, then you can go your whole life without stepping foot outside your door. Buy groceries at places like http://Safeway.com, order in services and entertainment from television channels to books or music, and even pay your bills online.

Vaginal Yeast Infection is Seldom Serious by Paul Rodgers
Causes of yeast infections are many and before you know them, it is good to first have a clear understanding of what yeast infection is. A yeast infection is an overgrowth of yeast in your vagina, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as: itching and burning in and around your vagina burning sensation when urinating (peeing) vaginal pain or discomfort during sex vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese (it may also be thinner or absent). Although a yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted disease, it is possible to pass it back and forth between sexual partners.
Yeast is commonly present on normal human skin and in areas of moisture, such as the mouth and vagina. Yeast normally live in the vagina in small numbers, but when the bacteria in the vagina become out of balance, too many yeast grow and cause an infection. Yeast infections can cause severe discomfort but rarely cause serious health problems.
Yeast infection causes include:
Using medications that contain steroids; Using antibiotics; Being diabetic or having elevated blood sugar levels; Using the birth control pill or another form of hormonal contraception; Hormonal changes due to menstrual cycle or pregnancy; Frequently wearing tight pants or pantyhose...
Yeast infections are a very common and most women, about 70% of them, will get a yeast infection at least once intheir lifetimes. And some of these women will get recurring yeast infections. Women usually do not get yeast infections from sex. Instead, a weakened immune system is the most common cause of yeast infections. Most physicians discourage women from diagnosing and treating themselves with over-the-counter medications, because symptoms may be produced by more serious vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis produces symptoms that are similar to other vaginal infections, but it is much more serious and requires specific treatment. A variety of alternative treatments exist to help cure bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.
In a healthy vagina, there is a balance of several basic "components" thatwork together including bacteria, yeast, hormones and glycogen and naturalsecretions. When the healthy balance in the vagina is disturbed, the yeast overgrows. Most vaginal infections present no risk to your health, though they can be quite uncomfortable. Your health professional can usually diagnose a yeast infection just by finding discharge that looks like cottage cheese during a pelvic exam. Two simple tests can help your health professional figure out what you've got. In the first test, your health professional will look at a sample of your vaginal discharge under a microscope. In the second test, your health professional will send a sample of your discharge to the lab for a culture. If you don't have a yeast infection, these tests will help your health professional figure out what kind of infection you do have.
A mild vaginal yeast infection maycorrect itself without treatment. However, you are not likely to be able to go without treatment if you develop severe symptoms. Thankfully, treatment is readily available, both over-the-counter solutions as well as alternative, drug-free treatments. Perhaps the greatest risks you face when treating a vaginal yeast infection are related to self-diagnosis and self-treatment. Providing that you have had a diagnosed yeast infection before, correctly diagnose your condition based on past symptoms, and self-treat with a nonprescription treatment as directed, your risks are minimal.
Medications for yeast infections consists of creams and suppositories, both sold over the counter as well as oral medications, which require a prescription. The medical treatment of yeast infection centre around medications that slow the growth of the yeast. While there are many over-the-counter medications available, it is important to have a proper diagnosis of a yeast infection before you start using these strong medications, especially if this is your first yeast infection. If you had a yeast infection before and are sure it is the same infection again, it is safe to use over-the-counter antifungal medications. While medications can destroy a particular infection, they don't prevent future infections. If over the counter medications seem to temporarily relieve your infection, but the infection quickly returns, you may be a victim of a chronic yeast infection.
Learning to recognize the symptoms of vaginal yeast infection is vital before women attempt self-treatment. Conventional medical treatment for vaginal yeast infection is based on taking drugs or using topical creams. Once the yeast infection is confirmed, it is usually easily treated by over-the-counter treatments or prescription medications. Among the most effective natural treatments for yeast infection is the use of probiotics, or what is commonly called friendly bacteria or beneficial bacteria.

What to wear when you're not the bride by Karen de Villiers
Deciding what to wear to a wedding is a very tricksy business. You have to dress well enough to be let into the church, but at the same time not well enough to upstage the bride. It's very easy for the special lady, she could flounce down the aisle clad in a Hessian sack whilst whistling God Save the Queen and everyone would gasp and get all weepy. So what do you wear? Well the answer is very simple, it depends. Start off by reading the wedding invitation very carefully; this should give you a clue as to what the theme and tone of the day is. A good idea might be to phone a friend who's also going. Find out what they're wearing to the wedding, copy it if necessary.
Taking the weather into account would also be a good idea. Try to find out if it's an outdoor wedding ceremony, and plan accordingly. The last thing you want to do is be sweating through your wool blouse in the middle of the hottest day of the year. So many people neglect to heed this advice, and they usually drop like flies before the bible reading.
Now when it comes to dressing your menfolk for the wedding ceremony, try to keep it simple. Wear a suit. If it is summer, a lighter cotton suit is perfect. Depending on how formal it is, a tie might not be necessary. Shoes are also important. If given the chance most men would go in flip flops. This will not do. A pair of well made formal shoes may be on the pricey side, but they will last and are good for a variety of occasions. Motivate him by telling him that if he buys a good pair once, he might not need to go to the shops again for at least a couple of months. If this doesn't galvanize him, I don't know what will.
Women have a lot more options when it comes to dressing up for weddings. You can opt for dresses, skirts, or dress suits. Again, consider the time of year. In the colder months, darker, more somber colours will be perfect. In summer you can go lighter, but be wary of bright, bold colours. It could affect the bride's concentration, causing her to forget her vows or something equally terrible.
There are a lot of very bold fabric patterns out there, I wouldn't recommend wearing these. Stick to one colour or at least matching colours. Not only will you feel more confident about your outfit, you will blend unobtrusively into the crowd, which is what guests are supposed to do at weddings.
When it comes time for the mothers of the bride and groom to pick their outfits, I recommend they go together. This way they will know what the other is wearing which will avoid an unseemly incident. No one wants to see the matrons of honour in a catfight.
Above all, remember that the day is not about anyone but the bride and groom and celebrating their union. A smile is the best accessory to any outfit.

Venetian Blinds In A Variety Of Designs And Finishes by Rakesh Gaikwad
There are many different colours of Venetian blinds available to choose from. The colours available for Venetian blinds include metallic hues which give blinds a modern appearance to any room. The ever popular white PVC Venetian blinds compliment bathroom decors and provide a clean, pristine effect which is durable and resistant to steamy atmospheres. When the slats of the blinds are angled they provide complete privacy and yet allow plenty of light to enter the room. Ready made Venetian blinds are manufactured so that they can be trimmed to fit both the width, by a small amount and the length by any amount to provide a perfect fit to your windows.
A metallic rust coloured Venetian blind which has contrasting top and bottom rails, cord pull and a clear acrylic twist control presents a modern, contemporary feel, which is stylish when used in a bedroom or study.
Remote controlled Venetian blinds which are battery operated are the ideal solution for people who are less able bodied as the remote allows for the same amount of flexibility in controlling the tilt of the slats for reducing the amount of light coming into the room. They are convenient to put up in any home or office space you choose. Automatic Venetian blind kits are also available to provide a custom made blind for a bay window which comes with three individual blinds. They are fitted with low voltage motors which can be controlled individually to raise, lower or tilt as per your convenience. The blind kit also includes a receiver and remote control handset for you to control the angle. The blinds can also be operated by a timer or be set to work automatically according to the light level in the room they are put up. These may be the ultimate indulgence in Venetian blinds and although they are called kits cannot be made at home, they are made and installed to meet personal requirements.
Venetian blinds are a popular choice of window dressing for offices as they are durable and practical. These blinds are available in a variety of different widths, lengths and slat widths which suit large expanses of glass or small windows in boats and caravans. Venetian blinds made from aluminium are fire resistant and durable which is an aspect which needs to be considered both in the office and home environment, especially if the blind is to be used to dress a kitchen window. These blinds are ideal for the kitchen where fire resistant window coverings are necessary for your safety.
The smooth, sleek and slim line appearance of Venetian blinds offer an affordable and flexible approach to window dressings which will suit any room in a home. Although they are generally used to provide a complete window dressing many people use them rather than net curtaining for privacy against the window glass and have contemporary style curtains hung on the outside recess wall. Venetian blinds offer you the privacy and appealing touch you need to any room.
