Perfectionism
We have all heard the adage before, Practice Makes Perfect. Imagine, practicing something until you are actually perfect without flaw in every way supreme is this possible? In a word, no. This ideology,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots, if taken to heart, can lead one to a life of constant stress and undue worry and a complete and total lack of self satisfaction. You see, perfection is a concept that is nearly if not completely unattainable. Man, by nature, is not perfect. Add to that the fact that doing something perfectly certainly contains an air of subjectivity and you will quickly realize why trying to attain the status of being PERFECT is a true lesson in futility.
Let's take, for instance, the state of your body and how it looks. Imagine that you are in fantastic shape (ok, I am sure you are, but pretend someone who is reading this is NOT ) You have about 8% body fat and your tummy is ripped. Your shoulders are rounded and chiseled and every line in your biceps and triceps is defined and your legs look like they belong on a statue. You have worked hard for this body and it is perfect ALMOST. Most people that get their body to this level are never fully happy. They can always lose a bit more body fat, or get their arms just a bit bigger. The goal of becoming PERFECT is never ending and thus leads to a constant state of being not quite there. The closer you get to perfection, for some, the further you are. Now, most of us would LOVE to be in this situation. We would LOVE to have a ripped and skinny body and we would be happy with our bodies should we attain this high level of fitness. For those that are stuck in the state of needing to be perfect, however, this can lead to an unhealthy obsession. These individuals will go to incredible lengths to reach their goal. The trouble is,"If you lose your friend, their goal,rather than giving yourself up and going along with something you don't want to do, being PERFECT, may never be reached at least in their minds. They may take steroids, diet pills, quit eating altogether, or any number of other unhealthy measures.
Now, let's take a look at the other side of the coin. You are 250 lbs, not in very good shape, and personally, you are happy as a clam! You have no goal of getting the perfect body and are not really concerned with the whole health and fitness craze. Your body is ample, and you are proud of it. While this person may be happier and more satisfied than one who is striving for perfection, their state of mind may not be that desirable either. You see, life IS about progress. It IS about getting better, being more productive, and moving forward. This does not mean we have to focus every bit of our energy on being perfect, but it does mean that we should try to work on improving ourselves throughout our life. The person who is overweight and unhealthy and happy with themselves is not doing themselves a service. They are perhaps better off in their state of mind, but their state of body may be just as unhealthy as the person in our previous example. So,What business line are they in, should we strive to be perfect, or just be happy with what we've got? How about somewhere in the middle
If you work to improve yourself, and are happy with those improvements, then you can live a healthy and satisfied life no matter WHAT your goals are. Life is a process and if you are always trying to get better and you strive for PROGRESS versus PERFECTION, you stand a much better chance at being happy and satisfied with your life and where you are at any particular time. Be realistic, strive to better yourself and realize that if you are pushing yourself forward in a healthy and productive way then you already ARE perfect

like tasks you can achieve today
Achieve Your Desires By Scoring Goals
Do you have a desire? Silly question I know because everybody has desires,we now reset it and establish new priorities. With a new goal in sight, just not the same ones,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots. Of course there are many that most of us share like those old clichés of health, wealth, and happiness. But there are some that are exclusive to a certain group of people,It is in giving that we grow. For example; a musician may desire to play at the Albert Hall but have no interest in constructing his own website. But enough rambling, it's time I got to the point.
Ask any successful person how they achieved their success and the answer will invariably be along the lines of first identifying the desire, and then achieving that desire by breaking it down into a sequence of smaller steps to be accomplished along the way. Only when these smaller steps have been identified and mapped out can the journey of achievement truly begin.
Sometimes the desire can seem monumental, perhaps even appearing unattainable. But just as conquering the highest peaks, or running a marathon begins with the first step and is followed by the second step,identify your strong points, so too does the achievement of desire. If you can visualize the outcome, you can plan a strategy to achieve it. The strategy may have to be adapted along the way, but without it you achieve little.
The secret of achieving your desires then is to identify the steps you need to take - these are your goals and you should write them down. Sort them into long term goals and short term goals, like tasks you can achieve today, within the next week, this month, this year, and so on. Then work on what you can do now to accomplish one of these goals. When it is done you can tick it off the list and move on. Take time to congratulate yourself too because you just scored a goal!

regardless of what people say
Down Low and Debatable
Black women talk candidly about men on the down-low. Warning: If you freak out at the mention of the word sex, reading this article may distort your moral values.
On a blustery winter morning in December 1999, Essex Garvey, a stay-at-home mom of four, was sorting laundry, when a glaring exhibition caught her eye. On the TV was a woman recently diagnosed with HIV. Noting the pained look on the woman's face, Garvey discovered that the culprit was the woman's boyfriend, an admitted bisexual. Pointing wildly at the TV she sighed: Damn, that woman should have known her man was poking the log at both ends of the totem pole. Now, that would never happen to me."
Three years later Garvey faced a growing problem among African-American women. She discovered that her husband was embroiled in a steamy down-low affair. For those unfamiliar with the phrase, down- low refers to men who are married or have girlfriends but secretly sleep with men.
Garvey who divorced her husband in 2003, said the real tragedy of this epidemic is the refusal of many women to question their partner's sexual history. As women it is our responsibility to learn as much as we can about the men we sleep with,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots, she said stoically. And my reason for stressing this, is, because too many brothers are banging the pipe at both ends of the anal and vaginal chasm without informing their mates. A practice the 38-year-old concedes has led to deadly results.
The DL Debate
Although this lifestyle is not new. The regularity with which it occurs in the African-American community was brought to the forefront in 2004 by J.L. King. An admitted down lower, King is author of the best-seller On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of "Straight" Black Men Who Sleep with Men. The book not only exposed this contentious taboo, it opened African-Americans eyes to a subject they previously chose to ignore, but now can no longer deny its existence.
In assessing this situation, two questions that cannot be ignored is what effect down-lowism has on the health and family of women who are cognizant of their partner's sexual orientation and those who don't have a clue. To find out, I interviewed three women of different backgrounds. Featured among the trio was Cynthia, a prominent attorney who only dates married men; Quiana, a high school drop out who insists that having a piece of man is better than no man at all, and Lucia, a 35-year- old administrative assistant formerly in a relationship with a man on the DL. Because of the sensitive nature of this topic, the actual names of the women were not used. Instead, pseudonyms were applied to protect their identities. Now that you're familiar with the backgrounds, let's hear their stories. The first section will be devoted to health and the disturbing element of the Down-Low Affliction, an increase in HIV among women of color.
Speaking Out
Hearing the results of my HIV test, suddenly anger turned to tears and I actually hugged the doctor. It was then that I realized that I was now part of the Down Low Brigade, says Lucia, describing how she felt after learning her test results were negative. For Lucia this was indeed great news, based on a report by the Centers for Disease Control that says African American women represent a whopping 68 percent of new HIV cases.
Experts maintain the increase in HIV among Black women is attributable to several factors including bisexuality. While it is generally not acknowledged, bisexuality in the Black community is wide spread. Thus,Swimwear, putting women at risk. Agreeing with that assessment is Dr. Alvin Poussaint. In a 1996 interview with Ebony magazine, Dr. Poussaint, a psychiatrist at Harvard University noted, No one knows the number, but there is a lot of bisexuality out there, he asserted. Just take the fact that so many Black men have been incarcerated. An extremely high number engage in homosexuality in prison because there are no other outlets. It is easy for a bisexual man to have a cover women and for no one to know he's really bisexual. Dr. Poussaint urged women to be extremely cautious and get to know their partner.
Not surprisingly, a large number of men on the down- low refuse to characterize themselves as gay or bisexual,or simply get you out of her doghouse. Instead, they insist that they are straight, an observation noted by 1 of the 3 women I interviewed. The average person equates bisexual men with femininity, says Lucia with a twinge of cynicism in her voice. But my boyfriend was all man. He was tall, muscular, masculine and he acted just like a regular man. Now after learning what I know now, I wonder what a regular man is.
When asked what actions they would take if they discovered their men were on the DL, Quiana and Cynthia had vastly different answers. Like I said, having a piece of man in your life is better than having nothing at all, Quiana reiterated. So, if I found out he was on the down-low, I'd ask him to make a decision as to whether he wanted to be with me or with men. If he chose me, then that's all good. But if he decided that a man is more desirable, we could still hook up, but sex would be out of the question. Looking at Quiana in her leather jacket and denim skirt sitting atop a pair of designer boots, I casually asked Is having a man in your life that important? The response was not unexpected. Hell yeah. I gots to have the hook up. And like I said we can hook up, but he ain't getting none of this, she says laughing and pointing to her genitalia. For Cynthia the answer was just the opposite. I have a history of only dating married men. But if I found out one of them was on the DL, I would stop seeing him. Just like that? I asked. Just like that,she says vehemently. I value my health too much to remain in a relationship with someone who's at a high risk of contracting HIV.
After revealing their most intimate secrets, it becomes obvious that the women are uncomfortable discussing down-lowism, but feel compel to explain their feelings. So it was on to the topic of how being in a relationship with a man on the DL can have a detrimental effect on the family.
Of the three women, Quiana says that her kids aren't as naïve about people with alternative lifestyles as the average person; since homosexuality is rampant in her family. When pressed for further information she frowns and says No Comment. In contrast, Cynthia said that under no circumstances would she subject her kids, ages 10 and 7 to a down-low relationship. Although I choose whom I want in my life, I have to consider my family when it comes to being intimate with someone who engages in sex with both men and women."
A victim of down-lowism, Lucia maintains that when her kids found about her boyfriend they were angry, scared and embarrassed. Angry, because he failed to mention he was on the DL. Scared, because they thought Lucia had HIV and/or AIDS and was going to die. I have to reassure them constantly that I'm okay. So, regardless of what people say, such relationships can have a detrimental effect on the family. Lastly, they were embarrassed because they thought people would associate them with being gay, especially my son, says the Illinois native. He didn't want anyone thinking he was attracted to boys.
In examining the impact of the down low on African-American women regarding family and health, one should keep in mind that each situation is different. As noted by the women above, when faced with such a situation some walk away while others choose to remain in the relationship. But,the Congo, ladies be advised, if you delve into a relationship with a man on the DL, you're not only putting yourself at risk but your family as well, especially if you have children. Thus, you are encouraged to use precaution at every corner and intersection when traveling along Down-Low Boulevard.

but there always is.
Are You Living the Fearless Life? by Jacqueline Wales
When people think about being fearless it usually conjures up images of mountain climbers on Everest,after the work week is done, skydivers jumping out of airplanes, and race car drivers on the Nascar circuit. Most people think I could never do that.
The truth of the matter is this. Every person who ever scaled Everest, jumped out of an airplane or raced around a track at 200 miles an hour was scared to death! They were putting their lives on the line and there was no guarantee that they would return alive. The difference between them and us is simple. They faced the fear and didn't allow it to overwhelm their need for adventure, their need to go beyond their usual comfort zone.
In my role as coach to midlife women, I am constantly surprised at how many women undervalue the amount of courage it takes to live. One of my clients had a child was very ill, she nursed him through the worst part of it, and continued to do her job where the expectation was that no matter what, she had to be in on time and do her work. She did it because they needed the money to pay the medical bills. She felt there was no choice. When told how courageous it was of her to do this,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots, she looked at me blankly and said what else could I do?
How many women take their heroic journeys and say what else could I do? Or, Who else was going to do it? As women, we underplay our strengths and shrug it off as a trade-off. For what? We carry the load. Men may feel they are out there creating the wealth, but today that's no longer the truth. More women than ever are in the workforce AND still doing all the other stuff they did before. Who has the harder job? In my opinion there is no contest.
Women have expectations about doing it all. We work, we take care of the children, we cook, we clean and we run all the errands. When the kids are sick, or our husband is having problems at work,where the feature is altered beyond recognition, we nurture them and we continue to run until we run on empty. We get tired, depressed, anxious and angry. And we wonder why it has to be that way.
Along the way, we lost the passion for living. When we were little girls we dreamed about what we would be when we were growing up. We played at being teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers and mommies. We travelled the globe on our wall maps and listened to the music and thought about becoming a rock star. We pushed away the doubts and went to college sure that we could do anything, and then the dream started to fizzle.
We did well in school, or didn't, we found work that satisfied, or didn't, and we married happily, or didn't. And bit by bit, the dream that said you could do anything was gradually taken over by necessities. Money to pay the rent, children who needed special care, husbands who were never home because their job took them away for days on end. We found ourselves taking care of the daily grind and gradually, ever so gradually, the desire and passion for something different, for something more, dwindled to a whisper.
We are happy when we are with our family. Our children give us enormous pleasure (and pain); and our relationships over the years have deepened into friendships that are the backbone of our existence. But something is missing and we can't quite put our finger on it.
When we reach our forties, we start to feel that the dreams we once had are no longer possible. We give in to the quiet despair of midlife believing Is that All There Is and knowing in your heart that the answer is no.
What is it that stands in our way from living the life we used to believe was possible? I believe it's Fear.
We live in a fear based world. Our culture breeds it in the daily dose of terror news. We are constantly bombarded by what's good for our health. People die from eating the wrong things. The latest was spinach. People die from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We live in a world without proper health care and we ignore countries in the rest of the world because we have enough troubles of our own at home.
Is it any wonder that we don't want to deal with our own fears? Better the devil we know than the one we don't.
I was forty-three years old and I had been in a relationship for thirteen years. We had three children, including his daughter from a second marriage. It was not the easiest relationship to be in because we were both strong-willed and stubborn people. We fought on a regular basis but found mutual ground in the love our children.
On one occasion, our fighting reached a crescendo and I was ready to leave. As usual, it was all his fault. He had made my life impossible with his demands, his thoughtlessness and his constant need for attention. I had had enough.
In the midst of our screaming at each other he yelled You made the choices, not me. It stopped me in my tracks. The words stuck to my brain and resonated for hours afterwards. I hated to admit it, but he was right. It had been my choice to accept less than I wanted, to give more than I wanted to, to place myself in a secondary position so that I took care of everyone else's needs first. I wasn't even sure I knew what it was I needed at that moment, but I knew one thing.
I was scared to take responsibility for my own emotional happiness.
We keep ourselves in a state of fear! We all make choices. Some good, some bad, but they are choices. I didn't realize that for a very long time and wanted to blame over there' for most of the unhappiness in my life. We all have to make decisions. Sometimes these decisions may seem like there is no choice, but there always is.
Now all of this may sound like you've heard it all before. You have. But the sad state of affairs is that most women don't take time for their own needs and make excuses for why they won't move ahead into a life of fulfilment.
We all have choices and if we don't choose the things that make us feel good, that inspire us to get out of bed each day, and celebrate the life we live, we only have one person to blame.
Living the Fearless life is not a choice. Living the Fearless life means facing the fears that stop you in your tracks, that cause you to make excuses about why you can't do something, or refuse to make the changes that will mean feeling more fulfilled and happier with your life.
Think about this. In 2006, it is expected that women in their fifties will live until they are in their mid-eighties if their health is good. That's thirty more years of living!! You might have another forty or more. How exciting is that.
Isn't it about time you gave yourself what you need? What you want? What will make you happy? If you don't know what that is, find help to unearth the part of you that was buried in the landslide called living the unfulfilled life. Stop making excuses for not taking action.
I know it's hard. I know there are a million reasons why you can't take care of yourself. There are as many excuses as there are stars in the sky, but you don't have to wait until they burn out. That will take millions of years and you don't have that long.
Thirty years is a long time to be doing something you don't want.
Thirty years is another lifetime of putting your own needs first and creating the life you want to live.
At the beginning of this article, I used the examples of Everest and skydiving. Facing our fears does not have to be so monumental. But we do have to face up to our fears each and every day. It's in the million details of our daily lives. The decisions we take in our jobs, our families and in our personal care.
My challenge to you is simple. Live the Fearless Life by facing the fears each day. Life is not about being Fearless, it's about facing the fears and doing what makes us uncomfortable.
This is my first article. I put off writing it for weeks. Now that I've done the outline, I've got something to work with and I'll improve,Now if you're thinking that so far.
My fear is getting up and saying to you that you can do this. I'm an expert on Fear. I've lived with it from the earliest part of my life. But I've refused to give in to it.
I was nine years old, living in an old Scottish tenement building that was built during the reign of Mary Queen of Scots. It was either haunted or I had an overly active imagination. One night I awoke to find a tall dark figure standing by the side of my bed. It looked huge and I could not make out any discerning features. It did not move and neither did I. I looked at it for a few minutes waiting for it to do something until I eventually closed my eyes and fell asleep once more. In the morning I asked everyone in our building if they had come to my bed the night before but no one did. To this day, I am convinced it was FEAR that came to visit. I lived with an abusive, alcoholic father and each day was spent in terror of doing something wrong.
We manifest what we most dread.
It took me a long time, but eventually I understood that living life fearlessly was not living a life without worry, but about facing the worries, the anxieties and the dread that comes with taking chances. You owe it to yourself to take the chance.
When people think about being fearless it usually conjures up images of mountain climbers on Everest,after the work week is done, skydivers jumping out of airplanes, and race car drivers on the Nascar circuit. Most people think I could never do that.
The truth of the matter is this. Every person who ever scaled Everest, jumped out of an airplane or raced around a track at 200 miles an hour was scared to death! They were putting their lives on the line and there was no guarantee that they would return alive. The difference between them and us is simple. They faced the fear and didn't allow it to overwhelm their need for adventure, their need to go beyond their usual comfort zone.
In my role as coach to midlife women, I am constantly surprised at how many women undervalue the amount of courage it takes to live. One of my clients had a child was very ill, she nursed him through the worst part of it, and continued to do her job where the expectation was that no matter what, she had to be in on time and do her work. She did it because they needed the money to pay the medical bills. She felt there was no choice. When told how courageous it was of her to do this,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots, she looked at me blankly and said what else could I do?
How many women take their heroic journeys and say what else could I do? Or, Who else was going to do it? As women, we underplay our strengths and shrug it off as a trade-off. For what? We carry the load. Men may feel they are out there creating the wealth, but today that's no longer the truth. More women than ever are in the workforce AND still doing all the other stuff they did before. Who has the harder job? In my opinion there is no contest.
Women have expectations about doing it all. We work, we take care of the children, we cook, we clean and we run all the errands. When the kids are sick, or our husband is having problems at work,where the feature is altered beyond recognition, we nurture them and we continue to run until we run on empty. We get tired, depressed, anxious and angry. And we wonder why it has to be that way.
Along the way, we lost the passion for living. When we were little girls we dreamed about what we would be when we were growing up. We played at being teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers and mommies. We travelled the globe on our wall maps and listened to the music and thought about becoming a rock star. We pushed away the doubts and went to college sure that we could do anything, and then the dream started to fizzle.
We did well in school, or didn't, we found work that satisfied, or didn't, and we married happily, or didn't. And bit by bit, the dream that said you could do anything was gradually taken over by necessities. Money to pay the rent, children who needed special care, husbands who were never home because their job took them away for days on end. We found ourselves taking care of the daily grind and gradually, ever so gradually, the desire and passion for something different, for something more, dwindled to a whisper.
We are happy when we are with our family. Our children give us enormous pleasure (and pain); and our relationships over the years have deepened into friendships that are the backbone of our existence. But something is missing and we can't quite put our finger on it.
When we reach our forties, we start to feel that the dreams we once had are no longer possible. We give in to the quiet despair of midlife believing Is that All There Is and knowing in your heart that the answer is no.
What is it that stands in our way from living the life we used to believe was possible? I believe it's Fear.
We live in a fear based world. Our culture breeds it in the daily dose of terror news. We are constantly bombarded by what's good for our health. People die from eating the wrong things. The latest was spinach. People die from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We live in a world without proper health care and we ignore countries in the rest of the world because we have enough troubles of our own at home.
Is it any wonder that we don't want to deal with our own fears? Better the devil we know than the one we don't.
I was forty-three years old and I had been in a relationship for thirteen years. We had three children, including his daughter from a second marriage. It was not the easiest relationship to be in because we were both strong-willed and stubborn people. We fought on a regular basis but found mutual ground in the love our children.
On one occasion, our fighting reached a crescendo and I was ready to leave. As usual, it was all his fault. He had made my life impossible with his demands, his thoughtlessness and his constant need for attention. I had had enough.
In the midst of our screaming at each other he yelled You made the choices, not me. It stopped me in my tracks. The words stuck to my brain and resonated for hours afterwards. I hated to admit it, but he was right. It had been my choice to accept less than I wanted, to give more than I wanted to, to place myself in a secondary position so that I took care of everyone else's needs first. I wasn't even sure I knew what it was I needed at that moment, but I knew one thing.
I was scared to take responsibility for my own emotional happiness.
We keep ourselves in a state of fear! We all make choices. Some good, some bad, but they are choices. I didn't realize that for a very long time and wanted to blame over there' for most of the unhappiness in my life. We all have to make decisions. Sometimes these decisions may seem like there is no choice, but there always is.
Now all of this may sound like you've heard it all before. You have. But the sad state of affairs is that most women don't take time for their own needs and make excuses for why they won't move ahead into a life of fulfilment.
We all have choices and if we don't choose the things that make us feel good, that inspire us to get out of bed each day, and celebrate the life we live, we only have one person to blame.

menopause is confirmed after you have missed 12 consecutive periods.
Medical Facts About Menopause by Alex Fir
Approximately two million American women enter menopause every year. Menopause indicates the end of woman's reproductive life.
Menopause causes some huge hormonal changes that are blamed for everything from dry skin to mental illness,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots.
The average age of menopause in U.S. is 51. The huge majority of women enter it between 44 and 56. However, approximately one percent of women experience it before age 40.
Perimenopause is the transition that starts when your menstrual periods begin to become irregular. It ends 365 days after they stop totally. Perimenopause typically lasts from 2 to 8 years.
Technically speaking, menopause is just one day. It is the last day of your final period. However, menopause is confirmed after you have missed 12 consecutive periods.
Going through menopause does not mean goodbye to sex. Sex can be painful because there is a loss of vaginal elasticity and a drop in lubrication.
Hot flashes are more common in early postmenopause than in perimenopause, but they go away sooner or later.
Hormone-replacement therapy is not bad. Doctors can't agree how long it is safe to take hormones. Lots of experts say forever; others say a year or 2; and a handful say never.
There is no scientific evidence that bioidentical hormones are the safest kind of hormone-replacement therapy.
Menopause is not responsible for depression, anxiety, severe memory lapses or erratic behavior.
A great number of menopause symptoms can be caused by other medical problems. You need to have a systematic checkup.

Formulas featuring a combination of Eyeliss
Is There a Natural Way to Instantly Tighten Skin Around the Eyes? … Well, No by Laurel Levine
If you are looking for a natural way to instantly tighten skin around the eyes, I am simply going to tell you that there isn’t one. I know that there are formulas being advertised as effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles in mere seconds, but they don’t actually make wrinkles go away. The formulas that actually eliminate wrinkles work in a much different, albeit slower way.

Most of the anti aging eye serums will provide you with the antioxidants you need to reverse the damage done by free radicals, but that is usually where their benefits end.

Most people believe that absorbing animal tissues and polymer is the most effective natural way to instantly tighten skin around the eyes, but the fact is that absorbing them is impossible. Scientists have never been able to find a way to break any of these incredibly dense substances down, and believe me they have tried. These compounds are insoluble, and therefore impossible to use topically.
The use of certain peptides meant to deaden the facial muscles is the latest gimmick used by the cosmetics companies to keep people spending their money. The effect of these ingredients is almost instant, hence why they call the products instant wrinkle removers. All that they do is cause the deadened muscles to sag, which pulls gently at the skin and makes it appear smoother.
While those peptides can actually be somewhat dangerous too you, there are two other peptides called Eyeliss and Haloxyl that are an effective natural way to instantly tighten skin around the eyes, eliminate bags, and reduce dark circles. These components are used in combination with Homeo Age and Cynergy TK, which stimulate cell growth and promote large increases in the creation of collagen and elastin.
Formulas featuring a combination of Eyeliss, Haloxyl, Homeo Age, and Cynergy TK are a natural way to instantly tighten skin around the eyes that takes care of all of your needs. This combination of ingredients is what an effective anti aging skin care formula is supposed to have.

Current Fashion Trends in Costume Jewelry and Accessories
Color Trends in Costume Jewelry
The fall fashion trends are ushering in another excellent season for costume jewelry and accessories. Rich colors and bold looks dominate the trend. Teal, amber and amethyst are the important colors with olivine and green used as neutrals. Topaz and peacock are also important and all indications are that rich color will continue into the spring season. Metals are seeing a return to gold,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots, but silver is still stronger.
Bold Designs Dominate Fashion Jewelry
Fashion jewelry thrives when bold designs are in vogue and that is very much the case this season. The high fashion look is popular in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with natural components contributing to the designs. Wood is continuing its second season of popularity with shell important even in the fall line. But the rising star in natural materials is gemstone, which provides the beauty of natural semiprecious stones to the costume jewelry designs. This will definitely continue and accelerate in the spring line. Also popular in neckwear are 48 inch and 60 inch ropes that are worn extended or doubled. Jet is strong in holiday jewelry and estate looks (antique designs) are becoming fashionable in bridal jewelry.
Traditional Costume Jewelry and Accessories
While costume jewelry in bold designs and rich colors forge the way for leading fashion, there is a larger market that shouldn't be ignored in more traditional and classic looks. Theme jewelry in pendants, earrings, and charm bracelets has an appeal that goes beyond fashion alone because it identifies with what the wearer cares about. In addition, traditional rhinestone, bridal jewelry, evening bags, and formal gloves have a classic look with timeless appeal. There is a major market for these items that will always be present even as fashion changes.
Accessory Trends
Sequins and buttons are very big in all accessories, especially in handbags and evening bags. Beyond these, the looks of the larger bags introduced by leading designers are the trendy styles of the season. These are the bags the stars are carrying, which goes a long ways towards popularizing the styles. In evening bags, large sequins and buttons are very much in vogue, but traditional looks seem to be carrying the day.
Sunglasses are definitely big and bold with aviators the runaway favorite. Retro looks are also excellent and colored frames with matching lenses are very popular.
Hats and Headwear
In millinery, dress hats are an important part of the market, with ladies hats the dominant player. The looks are very traditional with a new element of pre-made bands allowing for the versatility of custom designs. Casual hats, however, account for the major share of the market and no design in 2005 is more important than the rollup cowboy hat. While the design is not popular in every region of the country, the sheer number of sales makes it the number one hat of the year. This rugged look that is typically American has risen to such popularity that it becomes an important fashion statement. After cowboy hats, the three most fashionable designs are wide brim floppy hats, ladies fedoras, and newsboys. The entertainment field has played a major roll in popularizing these designs and the fashion looks continue into the fall season with felt, leather, wool, and leatherette used as the material for the fall versions.

Breast Enhancement Tips For Better Breast Health by Julie Walker
Breast Enhancement Tips For Better Breast Health by Julie Walker,are one of richest source of isoflavones
Medical experts recommend the following measures to best protect your breasts while maximizing your overall health:
Eat a well-balanced diet - Include lots of fruits and vegetables, and keep your intake of fried foods, red meat, and junk food to a bare minimum. Prevent taking hydrogenated fats like margarine and vegetable shortening. (Be conscious of products that are in many store-bought crackers, cakes, and cookies - even health-store brands.) Cook with olive, peanut, sunflower, or sesame oils and butter or - better still - clarified butter (ghee) on bread.
Avoid becoming overweight - No need to diet, just adopt the two suggestions above and you should naturally stay in shape.
Do not smoke cigarettes or other tobacco products - Like alcohol, smoking has been linked to breast cancer.
Do exercises that involve the movements of your shoulders and build up your chest and upper arm strength regularly

Medical experts recommend the following measures to best protect your breasts while maximizing your overall health:
Eat a well-balanced diet - Include lots of fruits and vegetables, and keep your intake of fried foods, red meat, and junk food to a bare minimum. Prevent taking hydrogenated fats like margarine and vegetable shortening. (Be conscious of products that are in many store-bought crackers, cakes, and cookies - even health-store brands.) Cook with olive, peanut, sunflower, or sesame oils and butter or - better still - clarified butter (ghee) on bread.
Avoid becoming overweight - No need to diet, just adopt the two suggestions above and you should naturally stay in shape.
Do not smoke cigarettes or other tobacco products - Like alcohol, smoking has been linked to breast cancer.
Do exercises that involve the movements of your shoulders and build up your chest and upper arm strength regularly
Do not use underarm deodorant that contains aluminum salts or other compounds. Aluminum is a heavy metal that can enter the blood and lymph systems through the skin and severely challenge the immune system.

Indian Bridal Jewelry From Head To Toe by Harpreet Vohra
Girls just love weddings. They consider it as one of the most important days of their lives. Some of them even start thinking about their dream weddings when they are old enough to know what a wedding is all about. Among the girls all over the world, it must be the Indian girls who love to associate Indian bridal jewelry with their wedding daydreams. This is because in India, the jewelry is an essential part of any woman's wedding day. The Indian tradition calls for brides to be decked with Indian bridal jewelry from head to toe. All the pieces of jewelry would have to complement each other as well as the outfit that the Indian bride is wearing,Quick Fix.
Indian bridal jewelry does not have to mean the ones that are worn during the wedding day only but also on the engagement party that an Indian bride-to-be might be having before her big day,and you pay for this quality.. The Indian bridal jewelry would have to include earrings, nose rings, necklaces, bracelets or bangles as well as anklets and other possible adornments of the body that could be made with precious stones. These jewelries could be made of the most precious gems like diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds among others, set in gold, silver or platinum,which is a ring with a ½. Whatever the type of Indian bridal jewelry, brides would want them to fit the colors of the outfit that she will be wearing on both her engagement and her wedding day.
It is expected though that the Indian bridal jewelry that will be worn on a bride-to-be's engagement party would be different than the ones that will adorn her body on her wedding day. During the engagement party, the jewelry would have to be less heavy and simpler in design. It is not uncommon for Indian brides to have their Indian bridal jewelry for both their engagement and wedding dates to be designed specifically for them. This is especially true for those who are rich and extravagant in their tastes of jewelry.
They would have different sets of Indian bridal jewelry for both occasions custom-designed preferably by known jewelry designers. For the engagement, it is accepted that the bride-to-be will wear just a one piece of jewelry like an elaborately designed necklace embedded with precious stones. In other times though this piece of Indian bridal jewelry would be complemented with earrings that are simply designed but is equally opulent in terms of the appliquéd stones as well as with a bracelet of the same design or precious stone embellishments.
On the wedding date itself, the bride would wear the heavy Indian bridal jewelry that she had made. These Indian bridal jewelry generally consists of the Maangtika or that piece of Indian bridal jewelry that most if not all Indian brides wear on their heads, the necklace, the nose ring, the earrings, the waistband, the anklets and the rings for the toes as well as the bangles worn on the arm.
The Maangtika is generally designed for the bride herself and will go well with the other jewelry that will adorn her body. The other pieces of jewelry that make the entire Indian bridal jewelry are designed according to the colors of the wedding trousseau,5879 Ugg Classic Cardy Sand Boots. While it is okay to be understated when it comes to the colors of the precious gems embedded in the Indian bridal jewelry, Indian brides most often than not go for eye-catching pieces that are bold in colors. For the Indian bride, the most opulent the Indian bridal jewelry is, the better.
