Building Your Wedding Party

You probably already have some idea who you’re going to ask to be your bridesmaids, groomsmen, maid of honor, and best man. You might be trying to narrow down your long list of candidates. Here, I’m going to share some of the newest trends that today’s wedding couples are using to make their weddings more special to them.

* Have two best men and maid of honor, if the groom and bride can’t select between say a brother/sister and best friend.

* The groom and bride can ask mother/father to be maid of honor or best man.

* Skip the lineup of bridesmaids and groomsmen in favor of just a maid of honor and a best man for simpler, smaller weddings. You can also do this with a bigger wedding on a budget.

* Have just the best man and maid of honor, and then a collection of adorable, much loved children in matching flower girl dresses for the girls and matching tuxes for the boys. This is a way to include all of your nieces, nephews, godchildren, the kids you baby sit for, your students, any children who have a big place in your heart!

Wedding Tips  And Tricks

* Halloween may be low on popularity lists for weddings, making it great timing for availability and often great pricing. It also bring your playful side by asking  guests to come in costume,  adding a unique element of fun to your day.

* Marry on your parents or grandparents anniversary, and it’s an honor to their partnerships as well as perhaps a good luck charm.

* Despite travel hassles, Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day weekend are a three to four day weekend for everyone. More time to celebrate!

Interesting Facts For My Followers 08/18/2013

* The trench coat got it’s start in the armed services. As it’s name suggests, the coat was worn by British and French soldiers while fighting in the trenches of WWI.

 

* When it comes to exercise, the wholesomeness of small town living versus the evils of big city living may be more myth than fact. As reported in Medicine & Science in Sports & exercise magazine, nationwide study of leisure time and exercise found that people in large cities had the highest rates of daily activity, while rural residents(especially in the South) had the highest prevalence of inactivity and lowest levels of physical fitness.

 

* If you are walking normally, you take about 70 steps in a minute. That’s 3-4 calories burned each minute.

* Some specialty brands of clothing now have Sun Protection Factor(SPF) rating on their shirts, pants, shorts, and hats. As a rule, dark colors offer more protection than lighter ones , and tightly woven fibers provide more protection than loose woven clothing. If you can see light through a fabric, UV rays can penetrate it.

Ok, so we as women know we need our own version of the little black dress. It should be our go to when we are really in need of something fashionable and comfy. The styles above are great styles in reference to buying your own little black dress. Think H&M, Forever 21, JC Penny, Macy’s and other great department stores that offer great deals and shopping for less. I’m a women on a budget, and sometimes being frugal is the way to go. For one, styles are forever changing, one trend is in, the other is out. I like black dresses because I see comfort in these. You can never go wrong and it will never be out of style. I can mention other colors but hey! Another blog, another day. Take pride in your figure and feel beautiful when you step out in it. Show the world how good you feel and look. For more dress ideas you can visit my online store and browse around. Whoever said black is tired and old, clearly did not know how to style their dress. Now, it’s nothing wrong with color…I encourage it. The little black dress will always in my opinion be the ultimate high and fall back outfit. You can dress up or dress down as long as you rock your smile!

Fidget while you work

Did you know that you can increase your physical activity level without taking a single step. The Mayo Clinic has identified a link between being lean and how much you fidget, stand, sit, and recline throughout your typical day. In measuring the movements of 10 lean and 10 mildly obese volunteers, every half second for 24 hours a day, researchers found that the obese subjects sat for an average of two hours more a day than the lean subjects. They also found that the lean subjects racked up a lot of small movements from fidgeting, pacing, and standing, which burned up to an additional 350 calories a day. For three super easy ways to bump up your activity level and burn extra calories:

Stand when you can, sit rather than recline, fidget like there’s no one watching.
