As Your Planning Goes So Goes The Wedding

There are some things that everyone should know when planning a wedding. These things are crucial to a smooth and delightful event. Hearing about these things makes first time wedding planners say, "Wow! I'm so glad you told me that!"
 
If you are planning a wedding of your own and feel as if you're overlooking something but can't quite put your finger on it, here are some planning secrets to keep your planning on the right path -
 
(1). Prioritize Your List
To reduce the guest list make use of the 'tiers of priority' approach. First, at the top of the list you should write down your immediate family along with your bridal party and very best friends. Next you can add on your Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, and some of your closest friends that you couldn't imagine not being there. Now you can add friends of your parents, coworkers, neighbors, etc. When it's time to make cuts you simply start at the bottom and work up.

(2). Keep Your Guests Priority #1
You need to know how many guests you're planning to invite before you decide on a venue. For Melbourne weddings a good place to start searching for a venue is a wedding venue directory Melbourne. However, before you decide on one you need to figure out how much space you'll need. One rule of thumb says to allow from 25 to 30 sq. ft. for each guest. This figure might seem a bit much but once you figure in the space you'll need for waiters, a dance floor, the band, and tables, you see it becomes totally logical.
 
(3). Lighten Your Wedding List
One of the fastest and easiest ways to save money on your wedding budget is to pare down the guest list. Half of all your wedding expenses will go toward wining and dining the guests. Let's say it's going to cost you around $100 for each guest. If you cut your list by 10 people that will save you about $1,000. That's a lot of cash.
 
(4). Be Organizationally Focused
A good wedding help is a simple 3-ring binder. You can use it to make notes during meetings, hold photos from magazines you'd like your vendors to see, and keep records of all the correspondences you've had with various vendors. It's a big help if you set up a specific email address just for handling your wedding affairs. Keep important numbers recorded on your cell phone. There is a 'Knot Wedding Planner' app that you can download to help you keep all your planning information on-hand digitally at all times.

(5). Clear Your Head and Learn to Relax
Clearing your head isn't just grabbing a little fresh air. It's ridding yourself of all the anxiety that planning a wedding can bring. Maybe you can cut down on your coffee consumption. If you're dependent on a prescription drug you can get help from an addiction rehab facility. That may sound a bit strong but this special day calls for being all you can be. I would highly recommend 'neuro linguistics' practitioners (NLP) to help you learn how to deal with anxiety.
 
Learn to relax by heading down to one of the local yoga studios and learning some of their techniques. Melbourne is full of really great yoga studios that you can take advantage of. These studios often also have float tanks in Melbourne, so be sure to jump in one and unwind!
 
(6). Get Honest Feedback on Your Wedding Dress
Never go shopping for a wedding dress by yourself. After looking at so many dresses they soon start to all look alike. It becomes difficult to recall what styles you liked the best. Mothers and sisters are great in this area. If they aren't available then your closest friends can help. You really want to get this decision right so don't go it alone, get some honest feedback from people who love you.
 
(7). Learn About the Marriage License Requirements in Your State
You can usually check these out online. However, a call to your county clerk's office could pay some big dividends. They can verify the times that they issue the licenses and the other information on the website (not all websites are updated as often as they should be). Let your mother or the maid hold onto a copy of your new marriage license in case you happen to lose your own just before the wedding.
 
(8). Leave Wiggle Room in Your Wallet
Even the best of wedding planners can be caught off guard by unforeseen circumstances. It's always wise to allow a good 5% of your budget for things that weren't counted on. You could have miscalculated how many people show up or have a table break down on you. You may run short on food or drink. There are loads of things that can happen during such an elaborate event. Make sure there is money to fall back on in case of emergency.

(9). Make Yourself a Meal Plan
A lot of wedding planners overlook the fact that they have to feed their wedding crew as well as their guests. Before you sign on the dotted line with a vendor make sure you won't have to feed the crew the same chow as the guests. This could add up to substantial savings. If the guests are having lobster and you can feed the crew some hamburgers or at least something cheaper, you'll come out way ahead of the game.
 
(10). Wait on the Right Date
A lot of couples like to book the wedding venue several months ahead of time. If you call to get an open date just a couple of months before your desired date it could save you a substantial amount of money, sometimes as much as 25%. If you can book your venue for a Friday or Sunday wedding, it can cost you as much as 30% less than if you decided to hold it on a Saturday.
 
(11). Brace Yourself for Rejection
Not everyone who is invited will attend. The rule of thumb is that about 30% of those invited will not show up. Of course, your choice of venue will have a lot to do with that. People coming from out-ot-town have the most trouble making it to the event. Weddings can be tricky, especially when you try to choose a venue that suits not only suits yourself but is convenient for your guests as well.
 
As Your Planning Goes So Goes The Wedding
 
(12). Keep Things in Order
When planning your wedding schedule you want to keep things very well organized and in a logical, sensible order. Slow down and take your time during your planning stage. Look at each and every detail without rushing through anything. Never hire a vendor prior to confirming your date. Never design the cake until you know what flowers you'll use, or book the band before deciding on a space.
 
Lots of people may be willing to help but good wedding help may be hard to find. That's why you need to check with the bridal directories Melbourne as well as the wedding venue directory Melbourne before you start deciding on anything concrete.
 
The information will be invaluable in the planning of a wedding. Make that day be the best it can be by following the tips above. A smooth and memorable wedding is entirely possible when you have good planning.
 
Best of luck for the perfect wedding!

My thoughts on the ICE/METH Epidemic

Drug rehabilitation takes many forms, but rarely addresses what is perhaps the most critical question: Why drug users take drugs in the first place. Ice Rehab programs make this question the core of its treatment program, creating an entirely new treatment option that has proven effective in helping nearly all patients overcome their drug addiction. The healing begins when the patient understands that they are not the only one at fault for their issues.
 
It is human nature to make decisions based on how we feel, whether right now or in the future. Advertisers add to this natural urge by convincing us that we will feel better if we buy their product, and human society compounds the problem by expecting a certain level of happiness when out with friends or posting on social media. Many times, we as a society force ourselves to appear happy when we are actually not, virtually ensuring we remain unhappy behind the facade.
 

Add this video to my blog


 
It is logical to want to feel as happy as we pretend to be. The first time someone takes a drug like ice, the longing becomes a reality. The worldly concerns that plague all of us melt away, replaced by an euphoric high vastly superior to anything an advertiser could possibly sell us. As a result, the patient no longer cares about the job they did not get or the car they can never afford.
 
However, the euphoria never lasts. It may take three days or 20 minutes, but the rush eventually goes away. When it does, the patient is left worse off than before. All of the old problems return, accompanied by woes such as dehydration and lack of sleep caused by the patient's neglect of physical needs while on the drug.
 
The ice abuser is not addicted to ice, but rather the euphoric feelings of not caring about society's pressures that ice produces. It could be said that the true substances of abuse are dopamine and serotonin, the feel good hormones most directly responsible for the euphoric sensation. Both are natural substances produced by the body.
This realization led ice rehab in Melbourne to an innovative way to approach drug rehab. Instead of focusing on ice's destructive qualities, treatment begins by encouraging patients to feel the euphoric rush of hormones without using a toxic foreign substance. Patients report that adopting a child's playfulness and inquisitiveness, while truly loving themselves, allow them to experience similar highs while maintaining the responsibilities of an adult's life. This form of rehabilitation does not ask patients to give up feelings of euphoric pleasure, but rather derive it from a different source.
 

 
The clinic achieves this by examining the patient's emotions. Negative emotions are the result of some seemingly unrelated issue that needs to be rectified, or an indication that a patient has strayed too far from what he should be doing or who he should be spending time with. Once these underlying issues are resolved, negative emotions give way to positive feelings of contentment and joy, reproducing the high ice once provided.
 
Those interested in Ice Rehab in Melbourne believe that this approach is the answer to the eternal question of how to get off ice. Interested parties should contact the centre directly for additional information on its programs.

Bone Strength And Osteoporosis

Two of the hardest things found in your body are bone and tooth enamel. Most people realize the value of having strong teeth, yet few of them ever think about their bones until they have a problem. Strong bones are crucial for balance and support of our bodies, however, they do much more than that. They also give you strength, better posture, improve overall appearance, and help you feel young.
Your Lifestyle
 
Your bones help to protect internal organ while providing you with support for the muscles. Having strong bones enables you to take part in many social activities like sports, dancing, work, etc. They're there to get you through very busy days regardless of how exhausted your body gets. Without good bones children couldn't play, run, jump, tumble, or take part in all the fun things that kids love to do.
 
Risk of Osteoporosis
Having strong bones helps guard against osteoporosis. According to an exercise scientist (Dr. Len Kravitz, Ph.D.) at the University of New Mexico, both men and women alike who are over age 35 experience a 1% bone loss every year.
 
In women that 1% increases up to 2% or 3% after 3 to 5 years post-menopause. As the bone mass declines, these people are at risk to develop osteoporosis. This disease acts by causing a thinning and weakening of the bones. When bones have become weaker due to osteoporosis, they're much more susceptible to fractures. This is especially true regarding the hips, the spine, and the wrist. According to reports from the University of Arizona, the men have higher fatality rates from hip fractures compared to women.
 
Bones and Athletic Performance
A person's athletic performance is dependent on their bone strength as well as their muscles. Regular exercise, when done before any bone loss gets started (about 25 to 30 years old) helps people build up their bone mass. Exercise can actually help anyone at any age to increase their bone density. When they perform high-impact weight-bearing exercises such as -
Running
Jogging
Dancing
Tennis
Stair Climbing
it helps them to build up and maintain strong bones. There are also some low-impact alternatives that can help such as -
Aerobics
Elliptical Training
Walking
Stair-step Machines do a pretty good job as well. This has been verified through research and bone density testing by the National Osteoporosis Foundation or Bone Density Testing Centre Australia. You can speak with your doctor about recommending some appropriate exercises for you to do that suit your current physical condition.
 
Certain Foods Promote Bone Strength
Calcium is crucial to bone formation and bone strength. Vitamin D is what enables the absorption of calcium from the foods we eat. You diet is your best source of vitamin D and calcium. Some of the top sources containing calcium today are -
Yogurt
Orange Juice
Milk
as well as sockeye salmon. This comes from the 'Dietary Guidelines for Americans' (DGA) published in 2010.
 
Dietary Reference Intakes
The DGA also states that teenagers require as much as 1,300 mg of calcium a day. Adults from age 19 to 50 need 1,000 mg a day. When adults reach age 51 and older they require 1,200 mg a day. For Vitamin D the recommended daily intake is 600 IU (ages 9 to 70) and 800 IU (age 70 and older).Bone Strength And Osteoporosis

How To Plan Your Ultimate Wedding Day... And Remember It!

A woman's wedding day should be the best day of her life. Every bride dreams of strolling down the aisle in a stunning lacy wedding dress, however, in reality, the bride is often left to plan the event. It is wise to create a wedding checklist, a wedding To-Do list that covers the day from beginning to end. Here are numerous things you may wish to include on your wedding planner:
 
. Create an affordable, yet effective skin care routine
. Consider a spraytan
. Visit the local tanning store to prolong your tan
. Should you consider body waxing?
. Would you require permanent hair removal or laser hair removal?
. Do you need to locate an expert makeup artist?
. Will you have the occasion filmed? If so, hire wedding videographers
. Have you got the wedding day photographers ready to go?
 
In reality, there is no definitive guide to wedding planning, as every brides special day differs. Up to date, you have booked a spraytan, so tanning can be ticked off the list. You have considered laser hair removal or permanent hair removal, which will make the spray tanning process easier. You have established a superb skin care routine, booked a reputable makeup artist, called the wedding photographer and hired wedding videographers. Finding an experienced MUA presented a challenge because accomplished make up artists are in demand and every wedding photographer in the county claimed to be expert at bridal party photography. All in all, you have now completed a half of your wedding tasks. Here are some other ideas to add to your task list:
 
. Find a bucks night party organizer
. Decide who is in charge of hens night events
. Consider personal training, so you and your partner are fit for the big day
. Contact a PT who specializes in fitness
. Locate friendly personal trainers
. Ask your partner to pick a best man
. Check out a tailor who makes suits to fit
. Book suit fittings for the wedding day suits
. Choose suits that compliment your wedding dress
 
As you may have already guessed, the complete wedding checklist doesn't exist. A wedding takes months to plan and most bridal task lists are endless.
 
However, you have gone the extra mile to make your wedding day a red letter day. The best man is in charge of bucks party night events, the matron-of-honor is booking the hens night events.
 
Your soon-to-be husband will look fit on the day because you have both enrolled on a fitness course. Personal training isn't really your thing, but since when has PT been exciting? The personal trainers have a great outlook on life and the fitness sessions are fun. The groom, ushers and father-of-the-bride have chosen light grey wedding suits and the suit fittings are in hand. Your wedding dress fits you like a glove, so the men must have suits to fit.
 
It's time to put the notebook to one side and lay down your pen. You have finalized your wedding day arrangements. Have a great day.

Keeping your privates perfect, tips on Brazilian Waxing

Brazilian waxing is a smart way to get rid of hair in Melbourne. Brazilian waxers have very exciting jobs. Would you be able to work on vaginas each and every day? However, this job has plenty of negatives as well. Think about the things that must happen when the doors are closed.
 
If you have plans to get a Brazilian waxing Bentleigh, the following are things that you can do to make the waxer's job much more pleasant.
 
Take a Shower Before You Go
You might think that you are clean, but shower just in case. Not only is this a considerate thing to do, but it is also the right thing to do. If you've participated in any type of rugged activity such as jogging, running or horseback riding, things will change whenever you remove your pants. Science proves that there's a molecular change at this time. Basically, take a shower before going for a Brazilian wax.
 
Clean with a Wet Wipe Before the Waxer Enters the Room
Wet wipes can be used in the vaginal area, and your esthetician normally has a large quantity of them. So, use them. Wipe in a front to back motion. Make sure that you are clean. If you fail to do this, your waxing Bentleigh could be a very disgusting experience for the waxer. Keep this in mind and use a wet wipe before the waxer enters the room.
 
Don't Have Sex Before Your Appointment
Most estheticians request that you don't have sex before the appointment. This is mostly because of what your male partner may leave behind. Many women get excited during their Brazilian wax appointment, and the average esthetician doesn't want to see or touch the remnants of your sexual encounters.
What Happens If You're On Your Period?
 
If you are on your period, estheticians can cancel your appointment. A Brazilian wax can hurt if you are on your period. This type of appointment is usually very painful, but it can be even more painful if you are menstruating.
On the other hand, there are some estheticians that won't cancel appointments when you're menstruating. They believe that this is a monthly thing, and it shouldn't stop the normal routine.
 
Make sure that you cut the string of your tampon so that it doesn't get stuck in the wax. The esthetician could accidentally yank your tampon out when she rips the the wax off. Ouch!
 
The Length of Your Hair
Your vagina hair should be in the range of ¼ to ½ inches long. The esthetician can do the waxing Bentleigh if the hair isn't long enough. This would take a lot of tweezing if it is too short and things go wrong.
 
On the other hand, there isn't a problem if the hair is too long. Long hair can be trimmed down. But keep in mind that your appointment should only last about 30 minutes. So, if you have longer hair in the vaginal area, then trim it down. The waxer can put more time into waxing and not trimming. Use clippers with a guard.
 
Follow these tips for permanent hair removal via a Brazilian wax. This will make the leg waxing Bentleigh experience much more bearable for your esthetician.
