I'm so glad fascinators are back in style! They're such a simple way to add instant elegance to an outfit, to make a casual skirt and jacket into a more formal affair.

5 Amazing Stud Styles for 2011 …

The stud earring is an accessory that never goes out of style. For a classy look that provides for a significatn upgrade to any outfit, consider the following studs for your collection. Each of them is unique in its own way and offers a subtle hint of personality that can suit any woman. Remember that the ideal stud earring is more about the setting than the diamond! Try to keep an open mind and consider both white and yellow gold for the setting colors. Depending on your outfit, either could be a great fit!

#1


These particular stud earrings are a hugely popular among the ladies these days. They are a four prong set for a round cut diamond and have a unique woven feature. The woven feature adds a little flare to the earring and certainly sets it apart from other diamond earring stud designs.

#2


This pair of adorable studs is a classic. The six-prong setting gently hugs the round cut diamonds. The six-prong setting is typically chosen over the four-prong setting in yellow gold as the metal setting is more visible this way. The diamonds luster against the shining yellow gold is a wonderful accent to even the plainest of outfits.

#3


You wouldn't want to forget these at home on the evening of your next cocktail party! This is a crowd pleasing pair of earrings for all of your night-time adventures. They are simple yet sophisticated, offering the class of a princess cut diamond as well as the splash of fun that comes with the four-prong martini setting.

5 Classically Hot Engagement Ring Styles …

When it comes to engagement style and fashion, there is so much to choose from – almost too much. I would never want to take chances with the biggest day of my life-would you? I often think the best road to take is a safe one, with styles or designs that you know will remain timeless and beautiful. Here are some no fail, classically stylish engagement rings you can't go wrong with:

1. Pave

Pave
I've seen so many women wear stunning pave settings – by far one of the most popular styles. Pave settings are unique in that the diamonds are set to create an even or flat looking surface. What's really fabulous is that pave designs can be paired with many different style wedding rings and are always in fashion, which, as we know, is the key!

2. Classic Solitaire

Classic Solitaire
The classic solitaire beats them all. I think the best thing about this simple but stunning style is that you can use virtually any size or shape diamond, depending on your setting. And everyone knows that solitaire settings look fabulous on and are guaranteed to match your style, whatever it maybe!

3. Antique or Vintage Style

Antique or Vintage Style
I think vintage and antique designs are my favorite type of engagement ring. Vintage and antique styles are so trendy right now. Often, vintage designs have diamonds arranged in pave settings and feature dramatic center stones, such as cushion, radiant or princess cut diamonds. These are great rings and are a great choice if you are looking for something out of the ordinary and to really make a statement.

8 Reasons to Send Flowers …

8 Reasons to Send Flowers …

Sending flowers is a versatile gestures, because it can be done for so many reasons. There are different flowers for different occasions, different arrangements for different moods, and so on. Here, however, are 8 popular reasons to send flowers – and maybe they’ll inspire you to send some as well!

1. A Holiday

Naturally, celebrating a holiday is a great reason to send flowers. The act doesn’t have to be relegated to Valentine’s Day by any means. You can send flowers for Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, or New Year’s, for Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day, even for Halloween. You can send flowers on Friendship Day, Nurse Appreciation Day, not to mention Mother’s Day and Father’s Day – well, you get the idea.

2. To Show Your Love

Whether you are sending flowers to a spouse, a partner, a parent, a sibling, or a friend, doing so is a great way to show your love. Flowers aren’t just for spouses and lovers either. Sometimes, in fact, they are the perfect gift for a friend or family member, especially if you just want to show someone that you love them.

3. To Show Sympathy

When something bad happens, such as an illness, an accident, or a death in the family, sometimes you don’t know what to say. At the same time, you want the people who are most affected to know that you are thinking of them. Sending them flowers at the hard times is a great way to do that. Including a card expressing your sympathy is also a good idea.

8 Wacky Marriage Laws Still on the Books …

8 Wacky Marriage Laws Still on the Books …

It’s hard to believe how many strange marriage laws still exist in obscurity in the dawning of 2011. The majority of them aren’t necessarily enforced – but they sure are funny! The ability to marry someone by proxy, to get married as a joke – does your state have these laws hidden somewhere in their charters? Take a look at these 8 wacky marriage laws still on the books and see if your state is represented!

1. Marriage By Proxy

In Montana, you can get married without even being there! Someone can stand in for you to say "I do." Actually, several states allow this law, such as Texas, California, and Colorado. However, it is only in Montana that a double proxy wedding ceremony is allowed – meaning that, yep, neither the bride nor the groom necessarily has to be there! The kicker is, this law is meant for people who are in the military, so they can still marry their sweethearts even if they get sent overseas.

2. The "I Do" Prank

You would think that getting married as a joke only existed in Las Vegas, right? Nope! In the state of Delaware, prank marriages are so common that when you try to get your marriage annulled there, one of the options you can choose as a reason for the annulment is "prank." Well, the wording is more professional – you can dissolve your marriage due to reasons of a dare or a jest – but still!

3. Remarriage Redux

If you live in Kentucky, you better be sure about the person you’re marrying. Why? Because it is officially illegal to remarry the same person more than three times. You know how some couples get divorced and remarry – and then get divorced and remarry, and then get divorced? Well, that fourth remarriage is simply not allowed. Frankly, it’s probably a good idea to step into a trainwreck relationship like that anyway. I mean, if you aren’t sure by the third time, it’s probably time to throw in the towel, don’t you think?

8 Strange Animal Mating Rituals …

Recently, one of my cats has gone on heat for the first time since I got her, and my, what a display I've been subjected to! She's been rolling around, trying to get friendly with anything that moves (and a few things that don't). It's really quite an exhibition. Here are some strange mating rituals from the animal world …

1. Brown Antechinus

Photo Credit: cs.huji.ac.il

A little mouse-like creature from Australia, the Antechinus would make any human male green with envy at his staying power. He can keep going for an extraordinary 12 hours – with one female. And as if that's not enough, he'll put it about as much as possible. He dies happy. The females probably have 5 minutes of fun, and 11 hours 55 minutes of wishing he'd hurry up so they can go to sleep …

2. Bonobos

I don't think I can possibly print some of the things that bonobo monkeys get up to. Suffice it to say that their sexual shenanigans make Henry Miller look like Mills and Boon. You name it, they do it, whatever the reason.

3. Red-Sided Garter Snake

Photo Credit: Jeff Dyck

Oh. My. God. When these snakes wake up from hibernation, the females don't even get the chance to nip off to the beauty salon and tart themselves up a bit. No, it's straight down to business, as they get jumped by up to 100 males. At the same time.

7 Tips for Thrift Shopping …

Posted: 18 Jan 2011 09:43 AM PST

7 Tips for Thrift Shopping …

I'm notorious among my friends and family for being the world's (or at least metro Detroit's) best thrift store shopper. This is a distinction I cherish, and I'm proud to say that most of my and my daughter's clothing, shoes, and home accessories come from local thrift stores. But bargain thrifting isn't always as straightforward as you might think, and you need to be well-prepared for a day in the thrift store. Here are 7 tips for thrift shopping.

1. Make a list

If you don't make a list of the items you need, you'll end up buying things you don't need, and that's just a waste of money. For instance, in my day planner, I have a list of the items I want, a list of the items my daughter want, and a list of the items my boyfriend and his kids all want. If it's not on the list, I won't buy it unless it's something I know I can fit into my wardrobe. Otherwise, if I buy that gorgeous suede skirt, but I don't have anything to wear with it, I'll end up searching for months to find the right top, shoes, etc. And there's no fun, or savings, in that.

2. Dress for it

Prepare for a day at the thrift store by dressing for it. Dress comfortably, and, if the stores you'll be shopping don't have dressing rooms, in layers. For instance, wear a long skirt with leggings underneath, and flats, so you can try on jeans. Wear a tank under a cardi, so you can try on tops. And be sure you're comfortably dressed, too, since you're going to be spending a lot of time on your feet!

3. What's the policy?

Before you shop, know the thrift store's policies. Do they accept exchanges or returns? Do they accept cash only, or debit cards, too? What are their hours? Which charities do they benefit? Do they have fitting rooms? These are all things you may want to know ahead of time.

8 Ways to Cut Back on Caffeine …

8 Ways to Cut Back on Caffeine …

Honestly, I am a big fan of caffeine. I mean, aren't many people? Despite that sudden boost of energy that many of us love to love, there are some reasons that you need to cut back on caffeine. If you have been told that you need to cut back on that caffeine, then this blog is for you. I am going to give you 8 ways to cut back on caffeine …

8. Cut Back Gradually

As with any addiction, you will need to cut back gradually. Now, some people will tell you to just quit cold turkey, but this really is not a good idea. Reduce the amount of caffeine you drink each day and before you know it, you won't be missing a thing. Remember, there are other alternatives to caffeine – such as acai berry.

7. Drink Water

Everyone should be drinking water each day, but in this case, it will help reduce the effects of caffeine withdrawal. You should drink half your body weight. So, an individual that is one hundred and sixty pounds should drink eighty ounces of water every day.

6. Reduce the Amount

Along with cutting back gradually, when you do drink something, such as coffee, you can easily reduce the amount of caffeine you consume. Fill your glass halfway with coffee, then add hot water to the rest of it.

8 Reasons Not to Lie to Your Spouse …

8 Reasons Not to Lie to Your Spouse …

First of all, before I go any further, I am going to tell you that I am no saint. While I do not believe lying is a bad thing, I have lied before and, while I am not proud of it, it will probably happen again. You know, not BIG lies, but probably little lies. Anyone who tells me that they have never lied in their life is telling a fib. However, I do not recall telling lies to my husband. I give him the same respect that I want in return. With that thought in mind, I am going to give you 8 reasons not to lie to your spouse …

8. They Will Eventually Find Out

Eventually, your spouse is going to find out that you lied. I mean, it may not be right now. It may not even be tomorrow and it might not be next month – it will be someday. It could be five years from now – trust me, your spouse will find out, so there is no need to lie.

7. You Should Be Able to Tell Them Anything

When you marry someone, I believe you should have trust in them. You should not feel the need to hide anything from them. I mean, come on, you should trust your spouse enough to be able to tell them anything. Take me as an example, I never feel a need to hide anything from my husband – nothing.

6. This Can Cause Your Relationship to Fail

When you lie and you continue lying, you will lose the trust of your spouse. Do you know the damage this is going to do to your relationship? Eventually, it could cause your relationship to crash down. Things just aren't the same when someone constantly lies.

7. Nissan Z350 2011

The Nissan Z350 has always been a sweet car to drive and it doesn't matter with what year you choose from. The Nissan Z350 2011 is going to have more pull and better gas mileage this time around. The 305 hp engine can for sure give you a kick back in your set. This is a car for a small family or single person.

6. BMW Z4

This car is for sure a dream come true for all car collectors. This car can relate to the McLaren SLR and pretty much destroy it on the race field.

7 Ways to Get Rid of the Afternoon Slump …

7 Ways to Get Rid of the Afternoon Slump …

I'm sure everyone has days where the afternoon becomes hazy and it's hard to think clearly. I've listed 7 ways to get rid of the afternoon slump. This slump is something that affects many people and there are plenty of ways to get rid of it. The tips I've mentioned below might come in handy for you. Maybe you'll be able to pass some of them on to friends and family members as well.

7. Drink a cup of coffee

A little caffeine boost can be very helpful in the afternoon. I find that even a half of a cup of coffee gives me the kick I need to finish out the rest of the day. I always seem to get run down around 2pm, which is the perfect time to warm up a cup of coffee left over from breakfast. I save the last cup of coffee from the morning pot and store it in the fridge just for this afternoon pick-me-up.

6. Watch a funny YouTube clip

There's nothing like a good laugh to help me get over that afternoon slump. I have quite a few short videos bookmarked so I can switch over to them whenever I need a quick mood booster. I'm always amazed at how many humorous videos there are online. Most of the ones I like involve animals. I love home videos where people catch their pets doing things out of the ordinary and it's even better when they add voice-overs to these videos.

5. Make a snack

Sometimes I'm running low on energy because I didn't eat enough for lunch or I completely skipped eating all together. When I get busy in the afternoon it's hard for me to remember that I need to take a break and eat lunch. If I'm able to take some snacks along with me and eat them whenever I get hungry, then I don't feel tired in the afternoon for very long. Getting low on energy makes people tired, but it's very easy to bring up your blood sugar level with a light snack.

7 Reasons to Go on Vacation to Florida …

Each state is well known for at least one thing. Taking a vacation to a particular state usually derives from an interest in seeing certain sites. Florida is one of those places that is large enough to have all sorts of reasons for visiting it. I have a few family members that make a trip to Florida every year. If you are looking for a new place to visit, here are 7 reasons to go on vacation to Florida.

7. Extreme Go-karts

Xtreme Indoor Karting is perfect for getting the adrenalin pumping. Go-karts that reach speeds of 45 mph can be driven on the half-mile indoor track. This means that rain or shine, you can enjoy go-karting at its finest. There are also 120 interactive arcade games to choose from. These go-karts are speedy enough that you have to wear a helmet when driving them.

6. Kennedy Space Center

Guests can enjoy the sights, sounds, and physical sensation of an actual launch in a space shuttle. The best part is that guests don't have to go through all the painstaking training that an actual astronaut is required to complete. Scheduled guest appearances by different astronauts are set throughout the year. This is a great way to meet and talk to a real live astronaut and ask anything you've ever wondered about.

5. Take a tour of the Naval Aviation Museum

Pensacola is where this museum is located. There are plenty of exhibits and collections to view, a motion based simulator, air combat simulators, cockpit trainers, and people can even watch the Blue Angels practice. The IMAX Theater at the museum has a variety of movies available for viewing.

7 Deodorants I Love …

7 Deodorants I Love …

Finding a good deodorant can be surprisingly difficult. Every woman is different, so there’s no way to say with absolute certainty, "Oh hey, this deodorant will totally work for you." It might now. All the same, here are 7 deodorants I personally love, some of them highly affordable and some of them not so much, but you might find something you want to try!

1. Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant

Secret Clinical Strength DeodorantPrice: $7.59 at target.com
Strong enough for a man; pH balanced for a woman. That’s the tag line for a reason, you know. This is one of my three main go-to deodorants, the kind that will work every day no matter what. It’s one of my favorites, especially during times when I feel like I am sweating more. You know how that goes; sometimes clinical strength deodorants are the only ones that make me feel fresh.

2. Degree Clean Deodorant

Degree Clean DeodorantPrice: $2.34 at target.com
I’ve used Degree for years, and I just keep going back to it. When I don’t like the smell of anything else I am trying, I know this will work. It’s another of my go-to choices, and it rarely lets me down. I prefer the calmer scents though.

3. Lady Speed Stick Fresh Fusion

Lady Speed Stick Fresh FusionPrice: $2.47 at amazon.com
Speaking of scents, I am not always a fan of heavily scented deodorants. I don’t like to raise my arm and be assaulted with a smell. That being said, I love this Lady Speed Stick scent. It really is fresh and lovely, so I don’t feel like I am dousing myself down with pit perfume. This one is a favorite of mine in the summer months, when the temperatures crest so high that it’s hard to feel fresh and clean.

7 Home Remedies for Nausea …

7 Home Remedies for Nausea …

There are several things that you can do at home for nausea without having to rely on pharmaceutical drugs. God gave us many natural herbs that are great for it – here are a few for you to try next time it hits! First and foremost, though, you do need to evaluate your situation and find out what is your source of nausea. Is it a migraine? Something you ate? Flu or other viral bug? Pregnancy? Determining this will help to better pick which remedy you should try.

1. Ginger

Ginger has been used for at least 2000 years, and is one of the top three investigated herbs ever. It is safe to take when pregnant, and is the top recommended herb for nausea of any kind. You can relieve nausea with ginger either by taking capsules, drinking ginger ale, or eating things with ginger in it. Ginger has a vast number of other uses such as relieving fever in children, helping with colds and flu's, menstrual cramps and motion sickness!

2. Peppermint

Peppermint is most beneficial in a peppermint tea, or taken stronger with plain peppermint extract. Peppermint also helps with colds. This remedy may be a little strong or over powering, but it does work. You can also eat peppermint candy. Though not as potent, it works for minor cases of nausea.

3. Ground Cumin Seeds

Consuming a half-teaspoon of ground cumin seeds is said to relive nausea. This is also a little strong, but it is worth a try when nothing else seems to work.

7 Body Parts I Like to See Pierced …

7 Body Parts I Like to See Pierced …

I'll risk sounding weird by saying that I really like piercings. They can look sexy, cute and even girly, providing that the person knows where to draw a line and how to choose a nice ring. But here, let me tell you which piercings I like and why…

1. Belly button

Belly button
Image source: fc01.deviantart.net

I loved it when I was a teen and I still love it today. In fact, I'm not planning on removing my belly ring until pregnancy, and who knows… If I start to miss it I'll probably go and get my tummy pierced again. The fact that is almost private is definitely my favorite – you don't have to show it, if you don't want. Just wear a longer top and that's it. Plus, you'll never have to take it off only because your company has strict policies on how the employees are supposed to look like.

2. Earlobe

Earlobe

A friend of mine used to have a gorgeous tiny spider earring high on her earlobe, I remember liking it so much that I wanted to do get one too. I've chickened out when I realized how painful it actually is, so I guess I'll just keep liking it from a safe distance. According to her, that hard part of the ear never heels completely and, although it looks great, it's kind of painful to live with.

3. Nose

Nose
Image source: s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com

I think I wrote about this before, but never mind, I don't mind telling it again, you know me. Well, these things can look so girly and cute and I don't see a reason why parents have a problem with it. I never understood my mom and dad – they were really against it so my poor sis never got the permission to go get her nose pierced. Nose actually heels rather quickly, even faster than the belly button. So, if you're thinking about it, I'd definitely say go with it, you can always take it off later. But, hey, that's just my opinion.

8 Gorgeous Ladies in Jewel Tones at the Golden Globes …

8 Gorgeous Ladies in Jewel Tones at the Golden Globes …

Ah, awards season. That time of the year when we live for red carpet photos and wait for cringe-worthy acceptance speech moments. That time of the year when we shamelessly copy the way a favorite star poses on the red carpet. Of course, she’s wearing a designer gown while you just draped a curtain around your body. It’s okay, you are not alone. Let’s start with the lovely ladies in jewel tones at the recent Golden Globes, shall we?

1. Angelina Jolie

She was the inspiration behind this post so it’s only natural that she be number 1. How gorgeous was her Atelier Versace gown? I am not liking this style of hair for her (it bothered me while watching The Tourist) but the color is lovely. Of course, the presence of Brad Pitt beside her does not hurt. In fact, he is the perfect accesory.

2. Catherine Zeta-Jones

Is it just me or does this remind you of a dress that Scarlett O’Hara wore? I am talking about the re-fashioned curtain. Forgive my apparent obsession with curtains. Back to the dress…it’s undoubtedly beautiful but the winner here is her hair and lovely makeup. How old is she again?

3. Amy Adams

Hmm I remember that the last time she posed for the red carpet, she was VERY pregnant. And now she got her healthy and sexy body back. She wore a one-shoulder Marchesa gown. The laser cut details are beautiful!

4. Sofia Vergara

The luscious mama from Modern Family wore a Vera Wang dress and bling by David Webb. While the fabric of this dress is kinda too stiff, you have to admit that Sofia looks drop dead gorgeous. Look at those curves! I guess I should not be surprised since she’s always sexy on Modern Family.

7 Holiday Fights You May Have Had …

7 Holiday Fights You May Have Had …

I am so glad that the holidays are finally over and things are getting back to normal. No matter how much you love your family and friends, the holidays are stressful, especially when everybody converges all at once. There were a lot of little spats going on behind the scenes in my house. So, here are 7 holiday fights you may have had – does anything sound familiar?

1. In-Law Arguments

Whose year is it? Do you go to your parents’ house, or your partner’s parents’ house? Do they come to yours? Which set? But that’s not fair! You were with them last year! Yeah, but the year before that, we were with yours! What? One of the most typical fights of the holiday season, deciding who does what, where, and when can be seriously stressful – and it has all the keg powder necessary to cause a fight.

2. Money Spats

Money really is the root of all evil. It can cause a fight at any point of the year. There might not be a holiday in sight, and money is still an issue. During the holidays, however, it’s a hundred times worse. How much is there? What do you have to spend it on? Where does it all go? Give it back! You spent too much!

3. Travel Stress

Traveling, too, causes stress no matter when you do it. What I discovered this holiday season is that it can also cause trouble even if you’re not the one traveling. You have fights by proxy, about who’s traveling when, why they’re doing it, why they have to do it, why they won’t stop doing it … it gets confusing as well as frustrating!
