Have You Appreciated Someone Today?
I invested some time with Mother recently and drove her to the hospital to visit with her sick sister-in-law,Stop fixing., my aunt,Linguaphone Language Learning Solutions. While I was standing in the doorway, a nurse came by and introduced herself as Ruth and said "hello" to us and said "hello" to my aunt. This put a smile on my aunt's face. The nurse then introduced me to the other nurses working at the nurses' station. She let me know that these nurses are hard working and good at their jobs.
I couldn't agree with her more. Theirs is a very difficult job with no margin for error. In many situations they know and understand the patients better than the doctors.
Realizing this, and noticing that some of the nurses looked a little tired, I asked Ruth to bring out all the nurses she had introduced me to at the nurses' station. I reintroduced myself and explained that my aunt was the patient in room 518. Then I said the following:
"I would like to thank you for taking care of my aunt. I personally appreciate the way you make her comfortable during this difficult time, and I know that my aunt is in good hands. My family,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, and especially my uncle, appreciates the hard work and care you put into making her better. Thank you again and keep doing what you are doing to make a difference with not only my family, but other families."
Well, you should have seen the looks on the nurses' faces. First, they had a look of surprise. Then they were all smiling from ear to ear. Several faces turned red. But all of them had a look of appreciation as they said, "Thank you."
Why did they have a surprised look on their faces? Was this the first time someone other than another nurse had acknowledged them,hearing? When was the last time someone showed appreciation to them?
It only took fifteen seconds to put a smile on their faces and have them feel good about themselves. Take the time every day to appreciate your employees, your family, and other people that are doing a good job. It might be the only appreciation they receive and will make a difference in their day.
Read my article, Appreciate to Motivate, to find out how to make your appreciation count every time. You will also feel good doing it.

Refuse to be confined by the eggs others never think of breaking.
Creativity and Broken Eggs
In 1420, the dignitaries of Florence held a competition.
They offered the enormous prize of 200 gold florins to the architect whose genius could span the unfinished dome of the Florence Cathedral.
This was a great challenge. Even the original builders of the cathedral in 1296 left writings hoping that God would offer a solution because they did not have one.
Filippo Brunelleschi was the answer to their prayers,THE "STOP.
He proposed the radical idea of a dome supported by a brick vaulting system that balanced the opposing forces, but without the customary central supports.
The experts called him mad,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots.
Brunelleschi sought to demonstrate his design with a challenge.
He could stand an egg upright on a flat surface. Could they?
All were unsuccessful.
Finally, Brunelleschi cracked the bottom of the egg and set it down.
It must have been a mess, but it stood upright and demonstrated his idea.
The experts protested, but Brunelleschi remarked that they could have done the same if they had understood his design,- Underneath the anger you are likely to encounter tears.
Of course, they did not. They didn't understand creativity either.
They were too mentally confined by their concept of the possible. Figuratively and literally, the thought of solving the problem by breaking the egg never occurred to them.
One imagines their frustration trying to balance the round egg on the marble tabletop and their groans when Brunelleschi demonstrated the sloppy, but clever solution.
We all have eggs we never think of breaking.
These are the fixed states of mind that we accept without question as "the way things are,Take this riddle for example." These states represent the boundaries of our thinking and, therefore, our life experience.
Refuse to be confined by the eggs others never think of breaking.
Geniuses break eggs.
Break your share.

2. When you listen
How to Shmooze,Roseanna Leaton
Value: priceless
Gearheads like me have trouble understanding that great ideas and hard work aren't enough... you gotta shmooze too. Every day we deal with peculiar life forms called "humans", and they have needs beyond the performance of tasks. They like to connect on a human level, too.
Even non-gearheads need this reminder. Sometimes they are trying so hard to get the job done, or are just uncertain and uncomfortable, that they forget to blend this critical element into their work.
Have you ever been frustrated seeing a back-slapping moron doing very well in business, while you,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, the much more capable one, are struggling? Then these ideas are for you. When working with customers, vendors or co-workers, try this:
1. Don't start by diving into the task. Spend a couple sentences warming up first. A simple "How was your weekend?" followed by listening to the answer, will start the interaction on a human level.
2. When you listen, listen also for the emotional tone of the response and respond to it. Example: if the person is harried, consider saying,Time Management, "Hey, you look like you are under a lot of pressure right now... what can I do to help?" And mean it. And try to help.
3. Sprinkle the person's name into your conversation once or twice. People pay more attention when they hear their name. And it brings you closer to her.
4. Smile and relax. Putting yourself in a good, balanced attitude will help her get there too.
5. Don't take yourself too seriously. Recognize that we are all imperfect and struggling. Share a bit of your struggle and recognize theirs. Example: "Wow, I tried so hard to get this done, but it was really tough,for the lie that has been believed for so long. Think about the good qualities. I know you must be having a hard time with your part of it, too. "
5. Create alliances as opposed to adversity. In business we are constantly trying to get someone else to do what we want them to do. Frame your request against a backdrop of mutual benefit. Instead of, "I need this...", try "In order for us to reach our goal, I can accomplish this if you can do that."
6. Observe people you consider to be good shmoozers. Note what behaviors are effective and try to add them to your skill set. The art here is to still be yourself at the same time. Think of it as an adjustment to your approach rather than a complete redo. If you have been a vocal non-golfer, don't suddenly morph into Tiger Woods overnight and expect to be taken seriously.
7. Try to gain a clear vision of the difference between who you are, and what you do. The former is called personality, the latter is called behavior. Personality is very close to your core. Behavior is actions which you undertake. Developing shmoozing skills involves experimentation with your behavior.
But the real beauty of working on your shmoozing is that the positive responses you will get from others will, in turn, be gratifying to you. And this response will make you happier and more successful, which in turn will go right to your core.
What started out as developing a business skill has a real chance of actually enhancing your life. Is there a reason to wait?

the Ug name is short for "ugly." In terms of comfort
The History of Ugg Boots
From Australia's Official Dictionary: The Macquarie Concise Dictionary - ug boot / Australian 100% merino sheepskin lined boot. Also called ugh boot , ugg boot.
Did you know that Australian Sheepskin Ug boots have always been called Ug, Ugh or Ugg boots and have been made in Australia for almost 200 years? "We always called them Uggs, Smith says, "long before it was a trademarked brand." Brian Smith, Founder UGG Holdings, Inc. Los Angeles Magazine October 1st, 2001.
The Ug Boot Story
The original Ug Boot. "Ug," (also spelled "Ugg" and "Ugh" in Australian dictionaries) is not a brand name but an age old generic term for this style of Australian-made sheepskin boot. In Aussie slang, the Ug name is short for "ugly." In terms of comfort, however, the Ug Boot is a thing of beauty. The softness of the Australian Merino sheepskin produces a boot with a snug, cozy,From Humble Rootage to Lush Lifestyles by Aria Scherer, form-fitting feel that's more like a sock than a shoe,whether you're leaving them at school,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, yet it's rugged enough for outdoor wear,usually a low heeled. The fleece lining has the astonishing property of providing year-round comfort. In cold weather, the plush fleece provides an insulating layer of warmth by trapping your body heat, much like goose down does. But in the heat of summer, the natural fibers of the fleece actually cool your feet by wicking away perspiration.
Growing Up in Ugs
By the 1970s, in Perth, the largest city on Australia's West Coast, Ug boots were being manufactured by several small companies in the area. Perth has much the same climate as Southern California and is also a haven for surfers, whom Aussies call "surfies." And it was the community of surfies at the great surfing beaches at Margaret River near Perth who first adopted Ug Boots as their footwear of choice and made them a symbol of the Aussie surfing lifestyle.
Ug Fever Spreads
From the beaches of Western Australia, Ugs were soon seen on the feet of East Coast surfers from Brisbane to Sydney. And it wasn't long before some of these surfers -- the ones who traded their surfboards for skis in the winter -- found that their Ug Boots were just as at home in the ski resort areas of the Snowy Mountains as they were on the warm sands of Sydney's Bondi Beach.
It was Aussie surfers, traveling the world in search of the perfect wave, who first introduced their mates in Southern California to the pleasures of the Ug Boot. Ugs soon became a cult fashion among those L.A. surfers who could depend on a buddy down under" to send them a pair of boots.
Ug Essentials
Today the Ug "secret" is out. You'll find these versatile boots to be in fashion on beaches from San Diego to Santa Cruz and in ski resorts from Tahoe to Vail. And today, you don't have to "know someone" in Australia who will send you a pair, since there are now a number of companies importing boots of this type. But, if you want the genuine article, you do have to know what you're looking for because, no matter how they spell it -- Ug, Ugg or Ugh -- there are several importers with look-alike products that fall short of being the real thing.
If you want genuine Ug Boots -- well-made boots with all the qualities that made the original so desirable -- you'll want to make sure that..... The boots are made from 100% Australian Merino Sheepskin. This will ensure your purchase is made of the finest Sheepskin hide avaliable.
Please Note:
Beware of very cheap imitations... quite a few boots on the market are made of cow suede with sawn on sheepskin inner fleece off cuts.... Don't take the chance and purchase these boots.... the external cow suede does not breath like 100% sheepskin does and will leave you with a smelly sweaty boot... But I must say these boots do look like the real thing but just don't cut the mustard when compared to authentic ugg boots.

If you've ever been troubled by the appearance of unwanted hair in your bikini region
Types of Bikini Waxing by Ivan Nikolov
If you've ever been troubled by the appearance of unwanted hair in your bikini region, you might want to consider waxing,you will be happy to enjoy the summer with a fast and easy. Although this method of hair removal has scary reputation, it is actually quite safe and comes with many benefits.
Not only is the painful part of the procedure over quickly, but it also banishes hair for three to eight weeks and prevents it from growing back in a thick manner. This is because waxing is a method of epilation; with other words the hair is removed beneath the skin's outer layer.
Due to the sensitivity of the bikini area, waxing is best done by a professional,Deck Up Your Tresses With The Finest Hair Accessories by Wain Roy, or esthetician. Don't be ashamed about making an appointment; salon staff members have seen it all. Make sure to indicate whether you want a basic bikini or a Brazilian wax.
Basic bikini wax just removes the pubic hair that might poke out the sides of your swimsuit bottom. The Brazilian wax, on the other hand,it pushes out the indented area, removes all hair from the pubic area, including the labia and the buttocks. In either case, warm wax will be applied to the desired region, followed by a strip of fabric. When the wax cools, both the fabric and the wax will be quickly ripped off against the direction of hair growth. Done properly, the pain will be minimal, and the redness should subside in a few hours.
People with diabetes should consult with their physician before undergoing such a procedure, since they are more prone to infection in the off chance that their skin is torn during wax removal. Anyone with a skin condition-such as rash,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, warts, or pimples should wait until their skin is clear before getting a wax. Otherwise, they run the risk of damaging their skin.

though some have slightly longer cycles. Once you know the length of your cycle
When Is The Best Time To Get Pregnant? by Hanna Hamelsford
The best time to conceive is during the ovulation phase of your fertility cycle. Ovulation occurs subsequently to an LH surge. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is a hormone manufactured by your body which induces the discharge of a ready ovum into the uterus. From the time that the egg is released into the womb, it is able to be fertilised. The ovum remains highly fertile for about 12 hours; those 12 hours are the best time to conceive,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots. After the 12 hours of high fertility, the egg begins to weaken, and the likelihood of getting pregnant quickly disapears. There are lots of ways to identify when you are going through the 12 hour window' of high fertility, pay attention to the changes in your body through your menstrual cycle, and learn to feel the physical symptomps of egg release. When you are aware of your menstrual cycle, you will be able to anticipate the best opportunity for you to get pregnant.
Learning About The Most Likely Time To Conceive:
In order to know when the most opportune time is for you to conceive, you need to deterimine when your next ovulation is due. There are numerous techniques (talked about below) that you can use to work out when you are ovulating. When you know when your ovulation period happens, you can be sure that you take full advantage of your window' of high fertility. Timing sexual intercourse with your ovulation will boost your chances of conceiving.
Method 1 Learning to read' Cervical Excretions as a sign of the Best Time To Get Pregnant
Throughout your menstrual cycle, your cervical discharge changes constantly. These differences in cervical fluid reflect your heightened fertility. During the inital half of your cycle, after your period and leading up to when you ovulate, your oestrogen levels rise in preparation for ovulating, and the cervix secretes a small amount of fluid. As ovulation time comes near, fluid secretion grows, and you will begin to notice the increased lubrication or wetness' in your vagina and vulva. The fluid discharge increases in amount and becomes less opaque and stretchy until it is like egg white. The best time to get pregnant is when you notice the appearance of this clear, fertile mucus'. Cervical mucus nourishes, protects, and helps carry the sperm on its way up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes for the rendezvous with your ovum. After ovulation the mucus output will slow down and take on an cloudy look.
It is important to remember, as you learn to observe cervical discharge, that:
* After sexual intercourse you may notice some white or clear mucusthis is liquefied semen, and usually stops being apparent within 24 hours of intercourse. Timing your sex one day on, one day off will allow youto identify the look of your cervical discharge on the days inbetween sex.
* Sexual arousal also results in vaginal discharge, which can look like fertile mucus'. The easiest way to distinguish between the two is to use the water test: vaginal secretions on your fingers will dissolve in water, but cervical discharge will stay in a blob.
* Wearing skin tight clothing can increase the drying out time of vaginal secretions, giving you less opportunity to identify the changes of your excretion.
* Drugs can affect mucus secretion, always check with your medical practioner if you are taking any parmaceuticals while trying to conceive, and make sure that if you are utilising the cervical fluid method of knowing when the best time to become pregnant, that any parmaceuticals that you are taking will not influence mucus production.
* It is a good Habit to get into to keep a record of your cervical discharge on a fertility chart or calendar, to help you in working out the best time to get pregnant.
Step 2 Counting The Days of your menstrual and ovulation cycle
One common method of finding out the best time to get pregnant is counting days.
To do this, keep a personal log (in your diary or on your calendar) of your menstrual cycle. You need to have a reasonably precise date for the beginning of each period. It is useful to be able to have a a note of at least 2 or 3 cycles because this gives you a more accurate idea of the length of your cycle. Most women have a 28 day cycle, though some have slightly longer cycles. Once you know the length of your cycle, you mark the first day of your period as day 1, after 28 days (for example, if that is the length of your cycle) your next mensturation will start, and your cycle is re-set to day 1.
To work out when you are ovulating, locate days 12 16 in your cycle. These 4 days are an indication of when you will most likely be ovulating. Statistics indiacte that for most women with a 28 day cycle, day 14 is often the best time to get pregnant.
The best time to conceive is during the ovulation phase of your fertility cycle. Ovulation occurs subsequently to an LH surge. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is a hormone manufactured by your body which induces the discharge of a ready ovum into the uterus. From the time that the egg is released into the womb, it is able to be fertilised. The ovum remains highly fertile for about 12 hours; those 12 hours are the best time to conceive,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots. After the 12 hours of high fertility, the egg begins to weaken, and the likelihood of getting pregnant quickly disapears. There are lots of ways to identify when you are going through the 12 hour window' of high fertility, pay attention to the changes in your body through your menstrual cycle, and learn to feel the physical symptomps of egg release. When you are aware of your menstrual cycle, you will be able to anticipate the best opportunity for you to get pregnant.
Learning About The Most Likely Time To Conceive:
In order to know when the most opportune time is for you to conceive, you need to deterimine when your next ovulation is due. There are numerous techniques (talked about below) that you can use to work out when you are ovulating. When you know when your ovulation period happens, you can be sure that you take full advantage of your window' of high fertility. Timing sexual intercourse with your ovulation will boost your chances of conceiving.
Method 1 Learning to read' Cervical Excretions as a sign of the Best Time To Get Pregnant
Throughout your menstrual cycle, your cervical discharge changes constantly. These differences in cervical fluid reflect your heightened fertility. During the inital half of your cycle, after your period and leading up to when you ovulate, your oestrogen levels rise in preparation for ovulating, and the cervix secretes a small amount of fluid. As ovulation time comes near, fluid secretion grows, and you will begin to notice the increased lubrication or wetness' in your vagina and vulva. The fluid discharge increases in amount and becomes less opaque and stretchy until it is like egg white. The best time to get pregnant is when you notice the appearance of this clear, fertile mucus'. Cervical mucus nourishes, protects, and helps carry the sperm on its way up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes for the rendezvous with your ovum. After ovulation the mucus output will slow down and take on an cloudy look.
It is important to remember, as you learn to observe cervical discharge, that:
* After sexual intercourse you may notice some white or clear mucusthis is liquefied semen, and usually stops being apparent within 24 hours of intercourse. Timing your sex one day on, one day off will allow youto identify the look of your cervical discharge on the days inbetween sex.
* Sexual arousal also results in vaginal discharge, which can look like fertile mucus'. The easiest way to distinguish between the two is to use the water test: vaginal secretions on your fingers will dissolve in water, but cervical discharge will stay in a blob.
* Wearing skin tight clothing can increase the drying out time of vaginal secretions, giving you less opportunity to identify the changes of your excretion.
* Drugs can affect mucus secretion, always check with your medical practioner if you are taking any parmaceuticals while trying to conceive, and make sure that if you are utilising the cervical fluid method of knowing when the best time to become pregnant, that any parmaceuticals that you are taking will not influence mucus production.
* It is a good Habit to get into to keep a record of your cervical discharge on a fertility chart or calendar, to help you in working out the best time to get pregnant.
Step 2 Counting The Days of your menstrual and ovulation cycle
One common method of finding out the best time to get pregnant is counting days.
To do this, keep a personal log (in your diary or on your calendar) of your menstrual cycle. You need to have a reasonably precise date for the beginning of each period. It is useful to be able to have a a note of at least 2 or 3 cycles because this gives you a more accurate idea of the length of your cycle. Most women have a 28 day cycle, though some have slightly longer cycles. Once you know the length of your cycle, you mark the first day of your period as day 1, after 28 days (for example, if that is the length of your cycle) your next mensturation will start, and your cycle is re-set to day 1.
To work out when you are ovulating, locate days 12 16 in your cycle. These 4 days are an indication of when you will most likely be ovulating. Statistics indiacte that for most women with a 28 day cycle, day 14 is often the best time to get pregnant.

What Prevents You From Growing Thin?
Almost all women, who ever tried to grow thin, know the following situation: you choose carefully an appropriate diet for you, stick to it industriously and even lose a couple of kilograms and that is all! You keep your weight, regardless of all your attempts and tortures, and often it even increases. Every morning you go on scales, and that treacherous indicator is like mocking at you. You are losing courage every day, and, finally, a hope to gain good figure melts.
However, you should not despair and change tactics of growing thin at once. Let's try to find hidden reasons, which may prevent you from losing weight.
Reason 1: Cold dusk days
As researches show, in winter and close to winter months (October and November, March and April), we consume 500-1500 calories more daily. This especially concerns those, who are disposed to seasonal depression, displaying in breakdown, bad mood, extreme irritability or tiredness.
Well, almost 20% of people suffer from such depression. This happens because cutting down of a light day leads to decrease of such important substances, like serotonin and dopamine, in brain, what is a reason of mood lowering, breakdown and appearance of sugar hunger (hence excessive consumption of sweets and other carbohydrates).
What should you do? Travel somewhere for the whole winter? There is a way out: try to consume as much sunshine as you can. Stay on fresh air for at least 15-30 minutes during afternoon period till 2 pm, when intensity of sun beams is maximum. Solarium at least once a week will also help you. It is also important to understand that hunger has a psychological, not physical character, and you should observe how often you yield to it.
Sedative herbal extracts will also help to reduce a depressive hunger a little. Try also to have enough fresh fruits and vegetables in your fridge even in winter, and also cereals.
Reason 2: Happy marriage
You were hardly ever going to suffer your figure for the sake of family happiness, and meanwhile, most often this happens. Two years after marriage women already start gaining 0,5-2 kg per year. The reason is that food habits of married people become similar with time, and as a rule, it is woman who tunes to a man.
When you are alone, most likely you will eat only a salad for supper or nothing at all. But when you are married, moreover, if your family is big, you just have to cook a supper (and eat) several dishes.
Try to get your husband's and children's support in this difficult matter of growing thin. Cook a light-weight version of your favorite dishes several times a week, with lower quantity of oil and fat. Don't yield to persuasions to drink a tea for the third time during evening. Try also going in for sport together with your husband. Practice shows that in this case a woman quits trainings less often.
Reason 3: Sofa and TV
Researches show that 93% of overweight people watch TV more than 2 hours per day. The reason is that when one watches TV, he is almost motionless. During watching TV-programs, heartbeat, blood pressure and metabolism become slower even more, than if you were just sitting on a chair doing nothing! As a result one burns 20-30 calories less per hour.
So, if you are watching TV for 5 hours per day you gain almost 1 kg per month. Not to mention the fact that many people like chewing something while watching favorite movie.
There is a simple way out of this situation: don't refuse from favorite programs, but do something while watching them. Knit something at least! And it is better to do a complex of simple physical exercises.
Reason 4: Lack of sleep
Not to mention that lack of sleep influences appearance negatively, it slows down metabolism very much, contributing to overweight, not burning fat. The reason of this is that lack of sleep leads to insulin resistance (state, when organism does not consume sugar in blood the way it should,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, what also increases a risk of diabetes appearance), and also to decrease of leptin, a hormone that controls feeling of satiation.
These changes can lead to quick weight gain. Of course, chronic not getting enough sleep leads to this, not one-two sleepless nights (for example, if your baby is ill). As a rule, such hormonal changes are observed in people, who sleep 2-3 hours less than they should 5 nights per week. Don't sacrifice your sleep. Majority of women need to sleep 7-8 hours per night. It is not bad to take a nap in the afternoon, if you have a possibility, at least on weekend.
Reason 5: Wrong diet
As a rule, weight loss stops quickly while fashionable diets, when one eats only rice or bananas during long time. Usually such diets work 203 days, when 2-3 kilograms are lost, and then they stop working. Further organism gets used and categorically refuses to get rid it of excess kilograms.
Separate nutrition also seldom gives positive effect. It improves digestion and health, but never reduce weight till necessary limit. As a rule those who don't count calories eat this way.
Salt free diets also give weight stop not always, as you lose weight only due to water squeezing of your organism's tissues. You will have no further effect. Heightened fatiguability will appear, organism will be lazy and use motions sparingly, and liquid will return in a while. You should restrict yourself in smoked and salt food. But there is no sense to quit eating them at all. It is better to keep to balanced diets.
Only slow complex programs of weight loss will give a stable result, while restriction of consumption of calories and fats.
Reason 6: Cyclic weight fluctuation
It will be easier for you to lose weight, if you keep to a diet and go in for sport during last phase of menstrual cycle, than any other time. Heightened level of estrogen and progesterone content increases metabolism: organism burns stocks of fat with their help.
As scientific researched show, women burn 30% calories more during period from 2 weeks after ovulation till 2 days before menstruation. Moreover, premenstrual syndrome and period itself very often cause edemas and accumulation of excess liquid. Regardless of a diet you keep to, 2 kg overweight is possible! Don't torture yourself, wait till natural solution of the situation and then drink diuretic tea for 2-3 days.
And finally several interesting factors, found during recent researches:
- It turns out that intensity of home lightning can influence appetite. It was proved that, as a rule, overweight people consume more food while bright light. Bright lightning excites them, makes them eat quicker, with bigger appetite and, as a result, they consume more calories. At the same time, people, who keep to some diet, or people with lack of weight eat more while subdued lightning.
- Keep food further from you. The more food is available, the more gladly you eat it. According to American researches, products from lower shelves of fridge dissapesr much quicker, than ones from upper. Also, if you prefer to eat in kitchen, a probability of overeating increases. However, if you go, say, to a drawing-room, with a portion, then a probability that you will return for second helping is rather small.
- According to researches, which French scientists carried out, people consume more food while presence of external irritants, for example, TV or music. In this case people spend more time at dining table and consume more calories, than they would while eating in silence. Other abstractive moments, for example, a lunch with an interesting interlocutor, have similar effect.

If you're like many women who are thirty-and-forty-something
Menopause And Weight Gain by Susan Megge
If you're like many women who are thirty-and-forty-something, you've probably noticed that you're gaining weight that stubbornly refuses to take its departure. You're also probably thinking that this extra weight couldn't possibly be due to menopause - after all, you're still experiencing regular periods.
Weight gain in pre-menopausal women is quite normal because menopause actually occurs in three major stages and can take 15 years or longer, depending on your age and family history. The first stage of menopause is known as perimenopause, and symptoms include spotting, hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, irregular periods and weight gain.
Most women will notice weight gain as one of the first symptoms of menopause, especially around the abdomen. This is due to the fact that their hormone levels are declining drastically.
One of the hormones that will have an effect on women as they approach and experience menopause is estrogen, which is the female sex hormone that is responsible for causing monthly ovulation. During your menopausal years, your estrogen levels decline rapidly, causing your body to eventually stop ovulating. This is the hormone that seems to play a big role in menopausal weight gain. When your ovaries produce less estrogen, your body will look for other places from where to get needed estrogen. Fat cells in your body can produce estrogen, so your body works harder to convert calories into fat to increase estrogen levels.
Another hormone responsible for your new body is androgen, which can be blamed for sending your new weight to your middle section. In fact, weight gain during these menopausal years is often referred to as middle age spread due to the rapid growth of the mid-section. Often, this is one of the very first signs of menopause.
Women also experience a drop in their testosterone levels during these years. While it's true that testosterone is known as the male hormone, women have testosterone too, and this hormone helps your body to create lean muscle mass out of the calories that you consume. Since muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells do, with higher testosterone levels you'll have increased metabolism. Because your body is producing less testosterone during menopause you'll notice a loss of muscle, an increase in body fat and a much lower metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat does, so the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. As you know, the lower your metabolism, the slower your body burns calories.
Women can benefit a great deal by committing to a regular exercise routine. It's important to know that weight training plays a very important role in losing the extra weight you've gained,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots. You can keep the weight off by building muscle to help burn calories.
In summary, every woman's hormone levels decline at some point in their lives. Yes, this is going to result in some uncomfortable symptoms, but it's certainly not the end of the world. You can naturally reduce a lot of menopausal symptoms by simply making some lifestyle changes that will help to make you look and feel beautiful and energized.

This is because the pleasure that is experienced by the woman using a rabbit vibrator is beyond comparison.
It is no surprise that the Rabbit Vibrator was chosen as the best vibrator of 40 different vibrators on the Playboy TV's "Sexcetera". One of the famous characters of HBO's famous series,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, "Sex and the City", Charlotte was addicted to it. Apart from this it also was the winner on popular demand, when pitted against the the Hitachi Magic Wand.
The Rabbit Vibrator is a sex toy which has been designed specially keeping in mind the rising sexual needs of a woman. That is the primary reason behind their popularity with women. Women who have been married are also obsessed by the rabbit vibrators and use them when their men are away or during the sexual intercourse.
The Structure of a Rabbit Vibrator
The Rabbit Vibrator is made up of three main parts. A rotating or gyrating shaft. This shaft resembles a penis which aids in giving a realistic feeling. Some variations of rabbit vibrator have plastic or metallic beads embedded in the main shaft. These beads rotate and vibrate massaging the vaginal muscles during the pleasuring process. Needless to say that this greatly enhances the pleasure level and makes the woman reach orgasm after orgasm. This is the reason they are called the pleasure pearls and are exclusively found on Rabbit Vibrators.
The real pleasure source are the rabbit ears. These rabbit ears vibrate along with the main shaft of the rabbit vibrator. They are built for a specific purpose and that is to stimulate the clitoris of the female which is considered to be one of the most erogenous zones of a females body. Simultaneous stimulation of the vagina and the clitoris makes the woman more excited resulting in high pleasure levels and stronger orgasms. The rabbit vibrator is able to deliver orgasm after orgasm every time it goes to work.
Newer variations have separate controls for the main shaft and the rabbit ears. This gives new pleasure levels that the woman reach climax effortlessly. A customized and personal sexual experience is what every woman craves for and Rabbit Vibrators give them exactly that pleasure. The variable speeds of rotations and gyrations make it an unmatched sex toy. The pleasure levels that the woman experiences are not describable in words.
It is indeed the ultimate sex toy for Women.
It has become a very big and true fact that sex toys have become great means of pleasure and have really enhanced the lovemaking experience for a large number of people around the world. The predominant usage of sex toys was done by women but as time went by and people were more open towards sexual lives, there came sex toys which were made for women, men as well as couples.

What NOT to Buy Your Boyfriend by Janette Vince
There are plenty of places you can go when you need to find some ideas on what to buy your boyfriend for the holidays. Everybody has an opinion about what makes the perfect gift. This article is different though. It's going to advise you on what NOT to buy your boyfriend this season.
Whether or not you take this advice is your decision. You know your boyfriend better than anybody else (hopefully). And I'm sure you know just how many of his buttons you can push before you push him to the limit! Here goes.
Monogrammed towels
Monogrammed towels are an absolute no-no. If it's your intention to move in together or to get married, you probably are already giving out enough hints to this effect. He's not going to appreciate having yet one more reminder of the goal which right now, only you are striving to achieve. If you do think giving him monogrammed towels is all right, don't spend a lot of money on them. You can almost guarantee that those towels are what he'll be using as rags when he's out working in the garage.
Baby clothing
NEVER buy your boyfriend baby clothing unless you are trying to end his life prematurely. Buying baby clothing might be something you do totally innocently like when it's your way of suggesting that Wouldn't it be nice if one day But to a guy, baby clothing suggests just one thing: That 1 + 1 is soon going to make 3 period. Boyfriends will never think the same way that girlfriends do. It hasn't happened yet and it isn't going to happen anytime soon. If you feel the need, find another way to bring up the subject!
Books that tell him how to be a better man or a better partner
There isn't a boyfriend around who will appreciate his significant other behaving like his mother. He has one already. CDs, tapes and seminars are off-limits too. Listen up. When he's looking for advice, he'll get his tips from his guy-friends. And remember that no matter how hard you try, your boyfriend isn't going to change until HE feels the need to change. Anyone involved in a relationship with a guy should realize that this might not ever happen!
The latest video game
This is the worst gift you can give your boyfriend unless you like playing them too. If you don't play, your boyfriend will spend more quality time playing the video game alone or with his guy friends than he will ever spend with you guaranteed. Never willingly give your boyfriend a reason NOT to spend time with you. If you feel like wasting that much money, you're better off wasting it on yourself!
Movies and music that appeal to YOU
Don't think that your boyfriend will enjoy watching those deep, emotional chick flicks or listening to those heart-plucking, struggling-woman, ballads with you. Trust me he'd much rather be in the other room playing video games.
A house or a car
These aren't the types of holiday gifts most people are going to buy for their boyfriends during the holidays or any time of year. But there are some people out there who are more fortunate than the rest of us. They'll think they're being REALLY nice by surprising their boyfriends with such extravagant gifts, and they probably won't be wrong about that. But since there's no way of ensuring the relationship's going to last into infinity, find something else to give your boyfriend. If you insist, just be sure that it's your name on the title AND that you are willing to make all of the payments in full for as long as necessary.
Cologne that your former boyfriend used to wear
No matter how much you like the cologne and no matter how good it smells on your new boyfriend, you should never get your new beau the same cologne you used to sniff on your old boyfriend. You wouldn't want to wear the same perfume his old girlfriend used to wear, would you? Didn't think so. While we're on the subject, it's not a good idea for you to get your new boyfriend any type of gift that you used to get for your old boyfriend. It's time to start over with new memories.
Now that you know some gifts you should never get your boyfriend for the holidays or any time of year, here are a few unique gift ideas that he'd probably appreciate:
· A tank ride yes, as in a real, life-sized military vehicle
· A remote control car, helicopter, motorcycle or Hummer
· Aeorbatic flying lessons
· A day racing cars
· Lessons for a sport he'd like to try
Now those are the types of gifts men appreciate,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots!

In addition to weight gain
Exercise Your Way Through Perimenopause by Susan Megge
It's unfortunate, but most women don't realize how crucial a role regular fitness and exercise is to reducing many symptoms associated with perimenopause. As women approach menopause they begin to gain weight, especially around their mid-section. This abdominal weight is quite common and the result of declining hormone levels, which may cause the metabolism to slow down significantly.
Most women will notice a significant amount of fat deposition around the area of their mid-section or abdomen. You'll especially want to avoid or eliminate this added weight due to the fact that this type of fat plays a significant role in contributing to heart disease, the number one killer of middle-aged and older women. You may not think that losing your added weight is possible, but it is; this weight gain can be eliminated quite easily by simply getting into a regular exercise routine. Fitness and regular activity are the keys to decreasing weight and avoiding many conditions associated with aging. If you're willing to commit to a regular exercise routine - one that includes weight bearing exercises - you will change the muscle-to-fat ratio, enabling you to increase your metabolic rate and burn calories, even at rest.
In addition to weight gain, if you're in your thirties or beyond, you're also beginning to lose bone mass at a rate of approximately 1% per year. This rate will increase to 2%-3% per year after menopause. Many studies have proven that exercise can increase a woman's bone density, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis and the incidence of falls and bone fractures associated with osteoporosis. As you may know,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots, osteoporosis goes undetected in many women until bone fractures occur; if, however, you take preventative measures, such as getting into a regular fitness routine, you can indeed reduce this risk.
Exercising regularly can also be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of hot flashes, a common symptom women experience as they approach menopause. Hot flashes have been known to contribute to impaired sleep patterns and a decreased energy level. If you're not getting enough sleep and are feeling sluggish, it's quite likely that this may affect your overall mood, which has the potential to negatively impact both personal and professional relationships. Estrogen replacement therapy has been shown to decrease these symptoms, but many women prefer to seek natural alternatives; obviously, exercise has proven to be a very viable alternative for a great number of women.
In summary, making fitness and exercise a priority will benefit most women who are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, and the positive results - both physical and emotional - are well worth the extra time you'll spend once you begin and continue a regular exercise routine. I know it's easier to make excuses to not exercise, but you love your family and yourself; therefore, take just a little extra time to ensure that you feel good, look good and have loads of energy to participate in all of life's offerings.

demure and feminine
Manolo Blahnik and High Heels by Edwin Blaze
The popularity of Manolo Blahnik shoes rose to overwhelming heights after being featured in hit television shows Absolutely Fabulous' and Sex And The City'. In one episode of the SATC, the shoe-loving central character, Carrie Bradshaw, happened to encounter a mugger in the one of New York's grungier side streets. Please sir, she pleaded. You can take my Fendi baguette, you can take my ring and my watch, but don't take my Manolo Blahniks.
A celebrated Manolo shoes fan, Sarah Jessica Parker (who plays Carrie Bradshaw in SATC) even has a pair of Manolo's named after her,Help Is At Hand. In fact, all of her SATC co-stars have been spotted in the Manolo shoes. Thanks to their frequent references, Manolo Blahnik became a generic for high heel shoes.
High Heels
Manolo Blahnik is famous for his love for killer high heels, especially stiletto heels. The innovative shoe designer revolutionized the fashion trends of 1970s by replacing clumpy platforms with sleek stiletto heel. His signature stilettos are elegants, demure and feminine, and he designs them to accentuate the arches and natural, yet beautiful curves of a woman's feet. He draws inspiration from many different fields, materials, cultures and trends. Often you can spot strong architectural influences in his designs. A common trait in his shoes is the sheer gorgeous, exquisite and elegant style in which each pair is designed and made,via the mega industries of cosmetic enhancement and reproductive assistance..
Manolo who is known for his enigmatic abilities to understand a woman's need of exotic shoes once said, "You put on high heels and you change." His range of high heel shoes are inspired by the fact that higher heels makes the legs appear longer and renders a more exotic stance and style to the wearer. Manolo's range of high heel shoes inspired Madonna to say that Blahnik's shoes are "better than sex" and added that, "what's more, they last longer".
Though Manolo Blahnik's shoes are more famous for their slender heels and pointed toes, Manolo's shoe range also features a striking range of kitten heel shoes and pretty ballet flats. In 2006, Blahnik developed a 'heel-less' shoe balanced on an S-spring!
Heels apart, Blahnik's shoe collection offers an awesome range of shoes for all occasions that come in a rainbow of colors, materials and accents. His celebrated five and a half inches tall high heel shoes usually come embellished with feathers, pompoms, ribbons, bows, beads, laces, or ribbons,Accessories Lend The Flower Girl Dress Unique Appearance by Jake Smith.
Manolo's Price Tag
Manolo Blahnik shoes are as much famous for their price tag as much as they are for their style. You can buy a Manolo high heel shoes only if you have a few hundred pounds to spare. In one episode of the Sex And The City', Carrie realized she could have made a down payment on a New York apartment for what she spent on her Manolo shoes.

the most common culprit are genetic disorders
What Is Premature Ovarian Failure? by James Pendergraft
Premature ovarian failure is a condition affecting the reproductive system of women before they reach the age of 40. This means that both ovaries lose their function. Premature ovarian failure is known by various names such as premature menopause, primary ovarian failure, or primary ovarian insufficiency. In terms of percentage, the number of women affected by the disorder is small, although if translated to actual figures, the number exceeds hundreds of thousands.
Causes of Premature Ovarian Failure
Premature ovarian failure arises suddenly in women. In some cases, the cause is believed to be attributed to autoimmune disorders while others are attributed to genetic disorders like Turner Syndrome. On the other hand, chemotherapy and similar radiation treatment can also cause premature ovarian failure. The presence of chemotherapy is decidedly a factor that contributes to the development of premature ovarian failure. Even though the ovaries can still function after menopause, hormonal production is at very low levels so as to render child bearing impossible. On the other hand, radiation therapy makes the ovary stop functioning and the resulting hormonal production is comparable only to that of a woman whose ovaries have been removed. In most cases of premature ovarian failure, family history seems to play a prominent role, insinuating the possibility that the disease may run in some families.
Recommended Treatments for Premature Ovarian Failure

Premature ovarian failure is a condition affecting the reproductive system of women before they reach the age of 40. This means that both ovaries lose their function. Premature ovarian failure is known by various names such as premature menopause, primary ovarian failure, or primary ovarian insufficiency. In terms of percentage, the number of women affected by the disorder is small, although if translated to actual figures, the number exceeds hundreds of thousands.
Causes of Premature Ovarian Failure
Premature ovarian failure arises suddenly in women. In some cases, the cause is believed to be attributed to autoimmune disorders while others are attributed to genetic disorders like Turner Syndrome. On the other hand, chemotherapy and similar radiation treatment can also cause premature ovarian failure. The presence of chemotherapy is decidedly a factor that contributes to the development of premature ovarian failure. Even though the ovaries can still function after menopause, hormonal production is at very low levels so as to render child bearing impossible. On the other hand, radiation therapy makes the ovary stop functioning and the resulting hormonal production is comparable only to that of a woman whose ovaries have been removed. In most cases of premature ovarian failure, family history seems to play a prominent role, insinuating the possibility that the disease may run in some families.

Short Skirts are in: Are Your Legs Ready? by Kamau Austin
There is a saying that as hemlines rise so does the stock market. If that is truly the case then we are in a great position to cash in on the market, as skirts are indeed getting shorter this season.
While for men this may be a cause of celebration, for many women this news is a reason for some concern. Shorter skirts mean that more of the leg is visible. And while we women are seldom satisfied with our bodies, more women voice dissatisfaction with their legs than any other part of the body.
Varicose veins and spider veins are two problems that can plague our legs as we get older. Over 50% of women and 40% of men over the age of 50 complain of vein problems. The legs are susceptible to these vein problems because they work very hard pumping oxygen-poor blood back up to the heart while the arteries pump blood rich in oxygen from the heart to other parts of the body.
Without getting too technical, there are flaps in the veins that keep the blood from flowing backwards as it makes its way toward the heart. These valves tend to weaken as we get older causing the blood to pool in the veins. This pooled blood causes the veins to enlarge and become what we know as varicose veins.
Varicose veins look thick and rope-like. They cause the skin to protrude and look blue, purple or flesh-colored,they will likely have this information throughout the site and in their shopping cart.. They can hurt and over time, do pose some health concern, but they tend to look much worse than they feel. They are certainly the more serious of the two conditions,and stores who cater to plus size women are also a great place to find larger size lingerie..
Spider veins are thin web-like veins that appear much smaller than varicose veins. They may be purple or blue and unlike varicose veins are thin and may spread across a wider area.
Both spider veins and varicose veins can show when we wear short skirts. We can camouflage them by wearing tights and colored or opaque stockings. But they are likely to show in the more sheer stockings that are a fashion staple of the season.
For that reason many of us are turning to surgical solutions to help with the problem of varicose and spider veins. Some of the surgical solutions are more invasive than others. Most can be performed in the doctor's office under local anesthesia. They vary in effectiveness and long term results and, of course, price,5815 Ugg Classic Tall Chestnut Boots.
While these surgeries for the most part, are safe, there is some risk associated with any surgery. If you decide that surgery is not for you, there are also very effective cosmetic solutions available today, especially for the treatment of spider veins.
One of the most effective ingredients in use is Vitamin K which tends to make the skin thicker. This makes spider veins less noticeable and reduces the swelling. Another useful ingredient that may be of help in treating or at least masking spider and varicose veins is Horse chestnut seed.
These ingredients can be combined in a cream and applied to the skin, once or twice a day. The skin responds quickly and most users will see some results in a week or less, with optimum effectiveness occcurring over time.
One preparation that we are told effectively combines these ingredients is Veinuderm (tm),or back hair removal for men. Veinuderm™ is a light cream that can be applied to areas of the skin in which spider veins are visible. It is available exclusive online eTailers like My website and from .

How To Live With Menopause
How do you feel when entering menopause? Do you think you can live with menopause? It seems a woman in menopause faces physical changes and new emotional realities. Are you also feeling the same? Do you feel stress and uncertain with what happen to your body?
Although Eastern and Western disciplines disagree in the interpretations of stress response and their prescriptions for how to deal with it, recognition has grown in both disciplines that body and mind are intertwined, working together or against each other.
The Western interpretation is based on research into the flight or fight response, first identified by Dr. Walter Cannon in the 1930's. In response to threat, the body's sympathetic nervous system goes into action. The adrenal gland pumps out more epinephrine, which speeds up the heart rate and constricts blood vessels. The breathing rate increases,Once infection is passed on to the infant, and the blood coagulation system is activated so that blood will clot more quickly in case of injury. For the earliest ancestors, these responses gave the body the jump start it needed to flee from a menacing animal or enemy or to stand and fight thus the label fight or flight. Accumulated stress can literally make you sick.
In Eastern philosophies, practitioners believe that such stress causes the body to build up certain toxins that must be released or they will block energy flow throughout the body.
While most of us associate negative stress with harmful body changes, it's also possible to stress out with too much good news.
Whatever it is, those both interpretations are related to our body. Sure you don't want to get weak body because of stress while you live with menopause. Therefore here are some checklists you need to do while you live with menopause:
1. Life has become visibly more complicated. Don't feel that you have to do everything and do decide what critically needs to be accomplished. Think about your values and write down those that really matter to you. What is most important? Spending time with family? Accumulating great wealth? Achieving powerful influence? Acquiring possessions? Expressing yourself? Learning new ideas? Experiencing adventure and travel? Maintaining excellent health? Socializing with friends? Contributing to the community? You can't do them all. Cut out activities that aren't consistent with your core values.
2. Carry a smaller wallet or purse. Start by cleaning out the one you've got. Get rid of unnecessary credit cards and other clutter that you don't use regularly.
3. Stop checking up on your financial portfolio every day. Most people invest for the long term,3. How many similar matters has he or she handled. Checking your results daily adds to stress and might lead to expensive and unnecessary changes.
4. Make time for yourself. Set aside time each day to reflect quietly, go for a walk, plan for your future or meditate,Nothing has changed from the normal wedding dress shopper there. Visit the park instead of the mall.
5. Cut back on debt. Consolidate your different debts into one and pay it off. Put your credit cards in a spot where you won't be able to use them until you're debt-free. Track your expenses for a month, then cut back your spending on items you don't need. For instance, pack a lunch rather than buying one at work. Mix and match your outfits rather than constantly buying new ones.
6. Consider renting a vacation home rather than buying. You won't be burdened by time (and money) spent in maintenance. Also, this allows you to visit a different spot each year.
7. Plan time for a vacation every year. Some people claim "I haven't had a vacation in three years" as if it was a badge of courage. It isn't.
8. Cut back on your children's planned activities. If they have to use a time planner to schedule their activities, and you spend all of your time taxiing them around, they're probably too busy.
9. Live closer to your work so you don't have to drive.
10. Take a moment each day to be grateful.
