Wedding Day Hair Do's and Don'ts

There is a long list of hair do's and don'ts that apply to day to day situations. However, when it comes to wedding hair, the list of do's and don'ts is significantly different. By sticking to the following list of wedding day hair do's and don'ts, your hair will not be one of the many things you will have to be concerned about when the cameras start up.
Wedding Day Hair Do's
• Find out if your hairstylist's rate includes extras like a trial run before your wedding day. This way, you will be able to make sure that the hairdo will be able to maintain its allure and stand up to a full day of hectic activity in advance of the big day. You don't want that beautiful hairstyle to collapse half way through the reception - or worse yet, while the pictures are being taken for the keepsake album.
• Go to the salon on the morning of your wedding rather than have the stylist come to you. This is a definite money saver. Some stylists will charge their full-day rate for coming to your house to fix your hair on your wedding day, even if it only takes a couple of hours for them to do your hair.
• Schedule your hair appointment for several hours before your ceremony. Even if it's early in the morning, this is the one day in your life when you don't want your stylist to rush while working on your hair. You want him or her to take as much time as necessary to make sure your hair looks its absolute best.
• Use clip-on extensions and hidden hairpieces. Celebrities have done it for years. This trick of the trade not only adds volume and length, it also adds holding power.
• Look for hair accessories that don't cost an arm and a leg. Before your wedding day, visit vintage shops and fabric stores, and even do an online search for hairpins and clips that show your individuality, but don't deplete your bank account.
Wedding Day Hair Don'ts
• If you color or highlight your hair, don't get a partial highlight, coloring only the top layers of your hair. If you plan to wear an updo, the two-tone look will be most unflattering. Even if you wear your hair down, the uneven colors will show and take away from your otherwise perfect appearance.
• If your day-to-day hair is normally simple, don't go overboard on your wedding day. Not only will you look artificial and unnatural, you will probably be very uncomfortable and not even feel like yourself.

Keys to Endless Love By Adam Snyder Adam Snyder Level: Basic I am a relationship expert with over 20 years of experience in helping people get thr

Love, is more than just a word that you tell your significant other. It is a word, an emotion, a feeling and a way of life. Love is how many people measure success. And success in their eyes is endless love. Is endless love what you are wanting for your relationship?

Endless love can be achieved reasonably easy if both partners want it enough, and will fight to keep their love strong. Are you wanting to know the keys to endless love? Well I have the secrets that if followed will ensure that you will have a lifetime of love with your relationships.

1. Deal with problems early on
If you deal with any problem early on you will make sure that all problems are dealt with and in a reasonable amount of time. Time is of the essence when it comes to your relationship.

2. Stay connected
In any relationship you need to stay connected to your significant other. Most people just want to know that they are the most important person in the world when they are with you. In order to stay connected you need to spend time with your significant other and talk about your lives apart as well as together.

3. Date
One of the number one reason people get divorced of start to hate each other is because they don't have that spark that they first had when they were dating. If you can keep dating your significant other then you will rekindle the flame that you once had.

Keeping a Love Journal By Mary Knebel

One of my favorite techniques for creating my ideal life and making things happen is keeping a positive evidence journal. This is a journal in which you record evidence that whatever it is you are desiring is on its way to you. Not only does this help you keep your thoughts and feelings positive and in a good vibration, but it also speeds up your manifestation because it keeps you focused on what you are trying to create!

I have so much fun keeping evidence journals that awhile back I decided to create an evidence journal with a twist... I started keeping a love journal! Instead of listing all the evidence that a particular goal or thing is on its way to me, I list all the ways I am loved. And let me tell you, I have more love in my life than I ever realized!

To keep a love journal, all you need is a journal, a pen, and the willingness to open yourself up to more love then you ever imagined was possible! Every day at the end of the day, preferably right before going to bed, take out your journal and list 5-10 things that demonstrate how loved you really are. Not only will this show you how much love is already present in your life, but thanks to the law of attraction it will also allow you to start attracting even more love into your life! (Remember, whatever you focus on expands...)

Although you can certainly list ways that you feel loved by your significant other, you also want to focus on other ways you feel loved in general. Have fun with this and really let your imagination run wild with all the various ways you are loved. You can list ways you feel loved by individual people, your pets, random strangers, the Universe, God or your Higher Power, life as a whole, etc.

Some examples might be:

• That person at the bank let me go in front of them today.

• My significant other brought flowers home unexpectedly.

• My dog gave me sloppy kisses at the end of the day.

• I got a raise and promotion at work!

To really amp up your self-love, be sure to list ways you love yourself as well, like:

• I allowed myself to indulge in a warm bubble bath after work.

• I didn't beat myself up for missing my workout this morning.

• I did the mirror exercise every day this week.

Again, really allow yourself to get creative with all the different ways you are loved. Also, feel free to decorate the cover of your journal if it helps you get in the spirit!

Keep doing this exercise regularly and I think you will be astonished by how loved you really are, no matter what is currently going on in your life!

Stop Divorce - Find Out How to Save Your Relationship Before it is Too Late By W. Scott W. Scott Level: Platinum Will Scott found his calling hel

Has your spouse already filed for divorce? The good news is that you can stop divorce in practically any stage of the proceedings, although the earlier, the better. While pausing the proceedings can buy you time, our goal here is to convince your partner to give up the idea completely so you can save your relationship.

In order to prevent the divorce you do not want, you will have to convince your dissatisfied husband or wife that the marriage is worth another try. Have you been pleading that for some time now? If so, you want to stop. Nagging is not the answer nor what I recommend.

To stop divorce in its tracks the person filing has to feel that perhaps they have made a mistake or been too hasty. Pleading does not do that, it just irritates them and convinces them that you are a loser who they need to leave behind quickly.

Instead, you want to do your best to act in an adult, mature manner with the goal of being pleasant around everyone you are near, not just your spouse. Focus on the bright side of things and try to put a smile on your face every day. People prefer being around happy people and you want your spouse to prefer to be around you.

Have you tried marital counseling in the past? Did you really give it your best shot? Many times people file for divorce simply because they do not feel appreciated and respected by their spouse.

One shows respect and appreciation in part by what they say, but more so by what they do. Always make sure you keep your part of the house clean and tidy - especially the bathroom, and make sure you do your chores. Then, seek out ways of helping your spouse or partner with their chores.

Never bring attention to the extras you might do, let them notice. How about the refrigerator, is it stocked with your favorites or theirs? Is all of their stuff shoved to the back? Little things mean a lot.

These things may or may not be brought up in counseling; sometimes they are not considered important but you can bet they are.

When you know your spouse has made an extra effort to look good, do you mention it and honestly compliment him or her? It does not matter if they did it for you or not. How often do you thank them for cooking a nice meal or taking out the garbage or washing the car?

Start with the small things and move on to the larger. Think back about how you were initially attracted to each other then ask yourself what you used to do (or not do) and how that compares with your current day behavior or appearance.

When you were dating you probably made an effort to look your best for your love interest; do you now? Start doing these things again and if you are trying to stop a divorce in progress you had better get busy right away.

These legal proceedings usually take some time, or can at least be "encouraged" to take some time. That time gives you an opportunity to get the "new improved you" noticed. You may want to make a note card of changes to make and carry it with you for reminders through out the day.

Remember, your spouse has a circle of friends, coworkers and family who will not be fooled. Your behavior must be better in front of them, too, not just the spouse you want to keep. Saving a marriage requires more than just some "fronting" to an unhappy spouse.

Consequences to Consider Before You Divorce By Doug Welpton Doug Welpton Level: Basic PLUS People come to me for help with stress and money probl

Bob is almost 50 years old and has been married a little over 20 years. He has four children between 20 and 12 years old. I have written before about Bob's situation with his wife in an ezine article: "To Stay or Not to Stay" and in my blog article "To Stay or to Leave." These two articles make different points for Bob to consider in making his decision whether to stay

Bob's wife abused him and their relationship by committing financial infidelity. She pawned her wedding and engagement rings, skimmed and hid money in secret accounts, forged his name and took title to their car in her name as collateral for a loan, hid and discarded their bank statements, covered up collection calls and court proceedings about her debts, and even wrote checks on their 18 year old son's bank account. Her deceptions with their money got their car repossessed and their home into pre-foreclosure proceedings. She falsely accused Bob of being the one who kited checks between their bank accounts that got him expelled by the bank. Renewal of his license at work was even put at risk.

Bob moved out previously for more than a year, lived with his mother, and filed for divorce only to learn he would be left with 1/3 of his income, which was not enough to rent a place in their neighborhood.

He returned to live with his wife, who continued to be untrustworthy and act abusively. Bob has moved again to his mother's house. His friends urge him to divorce his wife, but he cannot bring himself to do so. One of the reasons Bob stays married is that he grew up with divorced parents and does not want to put his children through the pain he experienced.

Given the abuse he has endured it is a common reaction to tell Bob he should leave and get a divorce. However, I don't think his decision is that easy. A divorce would separate his finances from his wife's, but it would not protect his children. Not being present in the home would provide his children less protection financially, although it is clear when he was present he could not fully protect his 18 year old son.

Having experienced a divorce myself more than 25 years ago, I know first hand some of the consequences Bob will experience if he chooses to divorce. Some of these he knew as a child, which is a different perspective from knowing them as a parent.

The holidays will not be the same. His children will feel pulled between his home and their mother's home. Just as the children feel pulled and often find it hard to enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, and New Year's, the parents also feel the loss of not having their children present for important occasions every year. This pull and tug over the holidays is widely recognized in divorced families.

What is less obvious but a significant loss is the absence of time just hanging out together between Bob and his children. As a divorced father his time with his children will be scheduled through visitations. Informal time together is not plentiful. Lost is the time of being in the same home and spending time just hanging out informally to talk, play a game, or watch a program. To make the division of time work in a divorce, everything becomes more planned by the calendar.

Competition often develops between ex-spouses over the children regarding the time each parent gets with them, the experiences each parent has with them, who is seen as the better parent, who gives the children better presents, whose family the children gravitate toward, i.e., their loyalties. Parents can subconsciously fall into competition as to which of them more effectively "captures" the children.

From the competition between ex-spouses, and the hurt and rejection of divorce, it is tempting for most parents to say critical things of their ex-partner to their children. These critical comments may just pop out of your mouth in a moment of anger or frustration with your ex-spouse. Critical comments like these are a no-no. Being critical or judgmental of your ex-partner to your child wounds your child. Your child is identified with both mom and dad. Any remark that is critical of a parent is experienced as a wound to the part of that child that is modeled after his/her mother or father. A goal in maturing after a divorce is to learn to keep criticisms like these to yourself.

Bob will most likely find he is still impacted by his wife's behavior with money because his children have been taught by their mother and her attitudes (just as they have by him and his attitudes) how to deal with money.

Bob's getting a divorce will pass on to his children the legacy of divorce. Our society reflects this legacy in the lack of trust for marriages to last, and in the reluctance of young adults to make marital commitments for fear they will not endure.

Bob's relationship with his in-laws will change. For him it may feel like a relief not to have to deal with his in-laws just like not having to live with his wife. There are, however, for most people some positive qualities and experiences they have shared with their in-laws which will be missed and lost. It is unusual to feel that your spouse's parents and siblings added nothing to your life and your relationships.

A less obvious loss that comes with divorce, and generally gains more recognition as divorced people age, is the loss of someone with whom who share your history. As a consequence of divorce you lose the ongoing relationship with the partner who shared many of the important experiences in your life like the births of your children, memories you share from raising your children, or trips and vacations you took together, for example.

Bob needs to take the time he needs to make his very important decision whether to divorce. He will be better prepared to make this decision by considering all of these consequences instead of just happening into them. Frequently, when feeling the intense pain that impels many couples to divorce, we do not take time to consider what will come to us in the future from deciding to divorce.

Bob knows the other side from twenty years of experience: what will come to him in the future from remaining in his marriage, which is very likely to continue on as he currently experiences it.
