Skin Care GuideThe Ultimate Guide to Skin Care

It’s summer time and more weddings happen in the summer than any other time of the year. Gardens are  beautiful with colorful flowers and if you are lucky enough to have a gold fish pool, the fish are sparkling and golden as jewels.  A garden wedding might be what your daughter would love and cherish. If you are having a garden wedding or a traditional one, this guide can help you  prepare for the wedding.

June and July are the most favored months of the year for weddings and there are many things that have to be arranged. Of course you have already done the initial planning. You have your budget ready,set the date, made the invitation list, ordered the invitations, the groom has ordered the ring. but you still have to arrange for the wedding ceremony.

You must make arrangements for a place to hold the ceremony, that is, if you aren’t planning a garden wedding, and you will have many choices. It can be a church, synagogue, hall, park, lakeside, the garden of course, or any other place of your choice. Some places must be reserved far in advance of the ceremony, others are more readily available, such as parks, lakeside, and so on.

Retain someone to preform the wedding. It can be a rabbi, minister, priest, or justice of the peace. Make sure they will be available on the date you need them.

Unless you have a garden of flowers available you will need to find a reasonably priced florist to provide the flowers. You can choose the flowers yourself. Choose the most plentiful ones.  They will be more reasonably priced and also the prettiest.

Large weddings include bridesmaids and ushers in addition to the maid of honor, best man, ring bearer,and flower girl. Choose attendants from your relatives and close friends. If the groom, best man and ushers plan to wear tuxedos, you will need to rent them. Each attendant will need to go for a fitting.

The bride must choose a wedding gown, and gowns for the bridesmaids must be arranged for. The bride can choose white or any color she prefers. Coordinate the bride’s gown and the other gowns of the wedding party. Allow enough time for alterations if needed. And some will surely be needed.

Choose a photographer based on cost and ability. View his previous work to see if it suits you. Be sure the photographer knows exactly what you want and knows everyone involved in the wedding party. Introduce him to close family members. You won’t want them to be left out of the wedding pictures.

Have a wedding rehearsal a few days before the ceremony and be sure everyone involved attends. You might want to have a simple meal after the rehearsal, the traditional rehearsal dinner.

Good luck with your summer wedding. We have three weddings to attend in July. If anyone has any good ideas for memorial weddings gifts, please let me know. I am running out of ideas for all the showers, graduations, birthdays, new babies, and weddings. I have depleted my best ideas, not to mention my pocket book.

Yes, it’s possible to look 10 years younger.

You’re 30 but feel and look like you’re 10 years older. No amount of vitamins will make you look younger if you don’t take the effort to update your look. Sure, you’re already a mom but you don’t have to stick to that boring mommy look. Here are some quick, easy tips you can do to make you look 10 years younger:

1. With makeup, the rule is less is more. Use next to nude, very neutral makeup colors but choose warm shades. The effect you want is a bit of glow and shimmer but makeup that’s barely there.
2. A good de-aging trick is to use an eyelash curler. Curling your lashes opens up the eyes and makes full use of your mascara.
3. Remember that matte — and dry lips are out. Use lip gloss for shiny, kissable lips.
4. Don’t hide behind big brows. Shape your eyebrows regularly and line them to open up your eyes. Clean brows frame your face and give you an instant eye-lift.
5. Use creamy textures on skin as opposed to powders which play up fine lines and wrinkles. Using a cream blush on the cheeks lifts up the face.
6. Get regular facials every 28 days so your skin will glow.
7. Find a good hairstylist you can trust and partner with him to give you a more youthful look.
8. finally, be open to change. Don’t get stuck in a rut. Keep tweaking your style. If you’ve had the same hair or makeup for years, be more daring and try something new.

Own up to it girls, we all have our off days.  But at what point do those off days turn into off weeks, months, etc?  At what point does it start to take a toll on the people around us?  If you’re dating then you can bet your significant other is going to get a little fed up with this at least somewhat.  Even if he tells you it’s all okay and fine, at some point the thought runs through his head that he does not need to put up with this.  Here is a quick list, meant to be taken lightly, that make your boyfriend want to leave you:

Constant crying:  Guys can deal with the occasional sadness and crying.  Especially under reasonable circumstances.  But if you’re having breakdowns daily in front of him, about minor issues (especially minor things to do with him) then you can bet he’s getting a little uncomfortable to say the least.

Guilt tripping: Guys are more than willing to be there for you if you give them what they want too at times.  But you don’t need to guilt trip him AT ALL, let alone constantly.  If you’re making him feel horrible for what he’s done to you five months ago, or over minor issues, he’s not going to be happy.  And happiness is the key to a great, long lasting relationship.

Giving other guys too much attention: Your guy should be number one if you’re at a certain stage in your relationship.  Use caution when dealing with not-so-close male friends.  Guys get jealous.  You need to find a balance.  Obviously this means don’t be flirting with guys or going out with them without your significant other (if you’re at that stage -exclusive-). 

Too much attention:  If you treat your boyfriend like he’s a child and that you have to watch him, get ready for him to push away.

Being too clingy:  Discuss with him some boundaries about clinginess.  Sure, not nearly ever girl is clingy but it’s better to know than to accidentally cross a line and have a war occur.

If you have more ti add to this list, feel free to add it in the comments.  There is more, I’m absolutely sure.  the best thing you can do is keep the communication lines as open as possible with your guy.  Make discussing these issues pleasant, and you’ll be set for a great relationship.
