Beauty, Bridal & Fashion

Herbs, or combinations of them, have been used for centuries.  At one time, in fact, they were the only form of medicine and the only material available to create scents.  Depending on their special properties, they were used to soothe or tone muscles, to ease a tired mind, or to just make people feel beautiful.  Bathing in a tub of water juiced with herbs can be an almost mystical experience.  There are hundreds of herbs and probably thousands of combinations that can be made of them, so this is just a small taste of what the possibilities may be.

Are you planning your wedding this year?  Then I bet you are excited and overwhelmed with details.  There are lists galore!  Add to the top of the list your wedding day makeup.  The hours will fly by swiftly on your special day and before you know it the dancing is over and the cake and guests are gone.  But you and your husband will have the pictures and video or DVD to treasure for the rest of your lives.  Unfortunately, I’ve heard too many brides say that they don’t like their pictures because they looked too made up or too washed out.

Weddings are a once in a lifetime event and if you’re like most people, your wedding is something that you’ve thought about your whole lifetime. The planning for a wedding can be very overwhelming and choosing the right photographer is something that can either make or break your special day. There are many things to consider from the style of the photographer to the products offered.  It is especially important to develop a rapport with your photographer.

Fashions in jewelry for the Bride and Groom are very much a matter of personal preference now. There are many different styles available, so here are some ideas for you to consider. Is your personal style very modern, traditional or somewhere in between?  There are settings available for all styles. Most brides still want something very traditional in jewelry, like a diamond engagement ring with a band to match and a ring to match for the groom.

Why do cosmetic ads use young models?  Clear, healthy skin.  Good skin is easy to photograph and can be shot close up for the most intense, romantic photographs. Invest some of your wedding budget in cleansing and exfoliating facial treatments such as glycolic or salicylic acid and lots of moisturizer!  Keep the skin moist 24 hours a day.  Toss old makeup and use clean tools and disposable sponges.

Why not incorporate a few games into the event.  They work great as icebreakers and it’s a fun way to get everyone participating.  Here are a few tried and true games to think about:
* Wedding Scramble — Compile a list of wedding-related words and scramble them.  Give guests a copy of the list and ask them to try to make sense of the words.  Set a time limit of 5 minutes.  The person with the most correct words wins.

There is absolutely no question that children are adorable.  Watch just about any movie with children or pets and they definitely can draw focus from even the most attractive and charismatic actors.  The question is, do you want them (children, not pets!) at your wedding?  After all, isn’t this supposed to be your day?  You’ve spent thousands of dollars on your dress and veil, months working out to fit into your dress and hour upon hour meeting with wedding coordinators, caterers and florists.

Right now you are probably busy with preparations for the most important day of your life. You want it to be a unique and memorable occasion for you and your guests, however with so many things to consider and organize it is essential to create your to-do list and the calendar with the important dates. Since the wedding stationery is one of the most important parts of your to-do list, here is the list of the items you will need to consider:

The costs of a wedding just keep rising.  You have to pay for music, food, flowers, photography and videography.  It is hard to find a place to cut costs and not sacrifice quality. Party favors can cost anywhere from $5 to $10 per guest or more.  Favors are an important part of your wedding because you are giving your guest something to help them remember your wedding.  They are important, but they are also the easiest and best place to look when trying to cut costs.
