The Two Moons Hoax test141

August 30, 2010

For the past 7 years or so, on August 27th, a huge hoax has been plaguing email victims by the thousands. This widely spread hoax is one where unsuspecting people on the internet are made to believe that every single August 27th, the red planet known as Mars will pass so close, that from earth, it will appear as if there is a second moon in the dark sky.

This widely spread hoax, which is typically spread via email, typically says that at 12:30 am anyone peering into the night sky should be able to see the red planet and the moon side by side. It is supposed that together they will be roughly the same size and right next to each other. It also says that Mars is only going to be thirty-four million miles away from our planet. This email is written in such good format that its almost impossible not to believe!

Nearly all of the astronomists say that if Mars actually did make an appearance, and was that close the human race would probably seize to exist. If any planet got that close to Earth it would greatly affect our orbit as well as our distance from the sun.

HIIT Workout Makes Perfect Gift

August 5, 2010

If you are looking to lose weight in a hurry and don’t have a lot of time each day to work out, then you might be a good candidate for HIIT workouts.  HIIT stands for high intensity interval training.  So with this method, you work out at high intensity for short bursts of time and then bring down the intensity for longer periods of recovery. 

Studies have shown that the ‘after burn’ impact of high intensity interval training is much higher than with traditional cardio.  In fact, you can even exercise for much less time and still end up burning more calories because the calories burned post exercise are more than what you may have achieved during a longer, moderate workout. 

One of the best new HIIT workouts is the Turbo Fire workout by Beachbody.  Created by Chalean Johnson, this is a series of HIIT, cardio and sculpting exercises.  It’s a lot less ‘dancey’ than some previous workouts done by Chalean which makes it easier to learn and master. 

While this may not seem like a personal gift, your bride to be might really love a chance to get fit while working out at home.  This will save her time and money that are tight when you are planning your perfect wedding and what could be finer than more time and money?

Money Clips Make Great Executive Gifts

February 23, 2010

If you believe getting that new job in today’s environment was a challenge, wait till it is time to give executive gifts for a task that can prove daunting.

Choosing a gift for your boss could be a scaring and time-intensive process, especially because this is a time for bafflement and self-doubt. What in the world are you able to buy for the boss who has everything? Or what to get for the office mate whose cubicle is right next to yours for the holiday gift exchange? What do you give to that special customer whose significant contract’s commissions helped you meet the down payment for your new car?

The most useful thing to bear in mind in selecting executive gifts is to think about the personality of the recipient. Paperweights with funny witticisms, as an example, will not meet much appreciation from that heavy vegetarian who sits 3 cubicles to the right.

In a similar fashion , a bunch of flowers will only meet blank looks from your dour, 58-year-old male boss man who is always to busy he hasn’t got time to sniff his newly cleaned office, much more a handful of poinsettias.  The one of the safest and the most trustworthy gift choices are, money clips. These are the ideal universal gifts for middle management. In fact, who doesn’t need to replace an old ugly wallet? They are fashionable, complex, and helpful. They come in a variety of styles from ‘Smart’ clips to hinged money clips.  Get it engraved with a name (theirs or your company’s) and it’s a memento they’ll think about for quite a while.

Destination Weddings

December 22, 2009

When it’s winter and you are getting married, many engaged couples decided to have a destination wedding.  Go somewhere warm – a beautiful sandy beach in a warm tropical climate provides a fantastic getaway and some wonderful warmth in a season of cold.

If you choose to go with a destination wedding, be sure that you plan it in great detail before hand.  Consider just who will be invited, how long will they be staying and whether you will be picking up the cost of their transportation and/or their hotel stay.  Because you will already be in a wonderful spot to have a honeymoon, that’s likely where your honeymoon will take place.  That’s why you want to be sure that the people you invite are people you really want to share this very important time with.

Aside from that, realize that many details of your wedding will have to be done long distance.  Make abundant use of cameras so that you really see what you are ordering.  This will prevent (or at least minimize) any unpleasant surprises at the last minute.

Benefits of a Fall Wedding

November 11, 2009

Many brides cannot imagine anything other than a beautiful spring wedding.  That’s why June is such a popular month for weddings.  But there are many benefits of a fall wedding.

For one, it’s much easier to arrange to have your wedding scheduled with the church and reception hall of your choice.  Unlike those spring weddings, a fall wedding can often be scheduled with less than a year’s notice.  And because it’s not prime rental time, you can sometimes get a better rate for the reception hall rental.

Secondly, there are few family vacations or other schedule conflicts. Except for the football fanatics, Saturday weddings can be scheduled during the day which means you can go with a lighter menu (which means lower cost to you).

Finally, the colors of fall are wonderful.  The rich golds, coppers and burgundies are great for bridesmaid dresses and flowers.  A fall wedding is often the most stunning of the year.

So don’t overlook fall as a time to get married.

Trends in Engagement Rings

November 11, 2009

The traditional engagement ring stone has been a diamond for I don’t know how long.  Definitely decades and maybe as long as a century.  But not all engagement rings feature diamonds in the center.

Precious stones like Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald are often used in lieu of a diamond when the bride’s tastes run a bit contrary to the norm.  Each of these stones make an awesome choice for an engagement ring.

Other stones that are only semi precious can be used as well.  My mother had a clear topaz in her engagement ring and I have a Tanzanite stone.  Other pretty stones include amethyst or garnet.  Whatever you choose, if she loves it, it’s perfect.

Planning a Beach Honeymoon?

October 15, 2009

If you are planning a honeymoon the some exotic beach, the lure of sun and sand and beautiful blue ocean sounds like heaven.  Especially if you are going to get married during the winter months.  Imagine spending sunny days on the beach with your new spouse while the rest of the world is zipping up their parkas and heading out to the winter cold.

But to make that beach get away perfect, you’ll want to be wearing your bathing suit with pride.  By that I mean you’ll want ripped abs and a slim and sleek body.  One way to get there is to get a balanced workout program like the Rev Abs program that Beachbody has just released.  If you have a couple of months before the trip this is one way to get that dream body for your dream vacation.

The new trends in Bridal Bouquets

October 6, 2009

Bridal bouquets have been the basis of marriage flowers since the beginning and have been carried since the times of the traditional Greeks. Nowadays, the bridal bouquet remains the focus of marriage flowers and it is definitely each bride’s best accessory. With fresh new designs for marriage flowers, bridal bouquets are getting more and more unique and personalised.

So, how does one make your bridal bouquet stand out? Monograms are getting fashionable for every aspect of marriages including marriage flowers. The monogram is usually of the groom’s last name, but could be an aggregate of the groom’s initials and the bride’s initials. Monograms can be featured with marriage flowers in some alternative ways. Bridal bouquets wrapped with ribbon and fabric can display monograms embroidered onto the fabric or stitched onto the fabric with beads or rhinestones. Bouquets can also feature monograms made with wire or piping.

Today’s marriage flowers feature a spread of different blooms and other items that mix together to form delightful textures that add a little bit to bridal bouquets. The best way to add varying textures to your marriage flowers is to use many differing types and shapes of flowers mixed together. Flowers with varying textures like carnations and roses lend contrast to bridal bouquets. 

Breakaway bouquets add a completely unique touch to conventional marriage flowers. Another sweeping trend for marriage flowers is the utilization of bright colours in bridal bouquets. Though many brides still stick with conventional shades of white and cream for their bouquets, the hottest marriage flowers feature vivid colors like bright orange, hot pink, electrical purple and magenta. Bright colours can simply be employed in mix together to make up a bouquet with citrus colors or bold purples and pinks. These colours can also be used alone as a single color bouquet or can be a part of a monochromatic bouquet mixed with added muted shades.

Avoid Wedding Hair Woes

September 14, 2009

Every bride wants her wedding day to be perfect. And above all, brides wan to look picture perfect in their gowns. There are such a lot of things to do it can make your head spin. And speaking of making heads spin, a gorgeous hair style will go a long way to making that happen.  Below are some pointers about hair any gal can us.

Keep the hair around your ears near to the face or it’ll intensify the roundness. This face shape can wear almost any hair style, long, medium or short. Most models have a flattering face shape and as you can see they wear all different styles. An oval face shape can pull off slicked back hair. With this shape what you need to do gives the face a more rounded appearance.

Don’t wear the hair too long and try to get more fullness round the ears and cheek bones. A long or rectangular shaped face can wear wispy bangs or be parted at the side. You do not wish to give your face too much length. This face shape looks great with jaw length hair with wispy bangs or parted at the side. If your hair is straight then try out some curl.

No matter what your face shape or hair style you select, be sure it is comfortable so you can look good and feel good on your special day.

Get Fit for Your Wedding

September 8, 2009

All brides want to look stunning on their wedding day.  But looking stunning takes a bit of work.  Aside from scheduling that facial and professional makeup artist, consider your figure.

If your figure is not where you want it to be, don’t worry.  There are some awesome workout programs available today that will strip pounds of fat off of you and tone you up in 90 days or less.  My favorite is P90X.  This program from Beachbody is formulated by Tony Horton and uses a lot of variety in each work out to keep ‘muscle confusion’ high which helps keep you from stagnating on the workouts.  In short, you keep making progress.

The only issue I have with P90X is that Tony has you do a lot of push ups and pull ups.  Now these exercises are unprecedented in creating a super fit body but for some of us ladies, it’s just not our speed.  So consider instead, ChaLEAN Xtreme which is also a very varied program which uses hand weights over the pull ups to achieve very similar results.

Of course, no workout program is going to make a huge transformation unless you also watch your diet.  Keep your protein consumption up while doing either of these programs and your consumption of breads, potatoes and any starchy carb or sugar low and you’ll see amazing changes.  When you walk down the isle, all eyes will be on you!

Make Your Wedding Bubbly

September 3, 2009

The marriage ceremony is totally full of different traditions. A more recent addition, wedding bubbles is neat way to send off the bride and groom. Of course, bubbles can be used for the bride’s entrance also.  Like flower girls in marriage, the marriage bubble girls give a stunning and novel entrance for a bride. What tends to work best is to distribute the wedding bubbles to the wedding guests before you want the bubbles to appear. 

If you want to use them for the bride’s entrance, having someone stand before the guests at the church and explain what is intended will provide a better outcome. 

Used before or after the ceremony, wedding bubbles add fun and whimsy to any wedding.

Engraved Mugs are always appreciated for wedding Gifts

September 2, 2009

When it comes to marriages, the bride and her mom or a best friend are the ones that shop. They relish in all of the details and appear to be ordering or reserving something on a scheduled basis. The groom is lucky the women take care of the majority of these details. When it comes to shopping, one of the main jobs that’s up to the groom, and the groom only is the selecting and purchase of the best man, groomsmen and usher gifts.

The first thing to do is mull over how much you are able to afford to spend on each of your men. If you are having a giant marriage with 100+ folk, you can have a tendency to spend more on your pals than if you’re having a smaller affair. Pick a target number and attempt to look only at gifts at approximately that price point. If your financial position is $40 per present, there isn’t any need to have a look at $100 gifts. You do not want to go over budget. Stick with what you can nicely afford.

When it comes to the gifts for your best man, groomsman, and ushers, it is easiest if you go with all the same item. For example, engraved beer mugs. Everybody knows that your best man is a bit more special as he was given the title of best man. There is not any need to spend more on his present. To keep it level, I like to recommend going with the same present.  A customized gift is special. There’s nothing else crucial to somebody than their own name. No matter what you decide on for your groomsmen gifts, be certain to give yourself lots of time to get these engraved gifts.

Saving Money on Wedding Flowers

August 21, 2009

Flowers can be a simple and straightforward way to make your marriage ceremony something really special.

These beauties of nature are a typical decoration item for each marriage.  In fact, regardless of what style or wedding theme you are planning, most brides will insist on flowers as the core of the wedding decorations. Aside the church most brides also plan flowers for the reception centerpieces and bridesmaid and bridal bouquets.

The simplest way is to keep your floral costs down is to hold your marriage in the season when live plants are plentiful. This way you can pick them yourself (if you know an avid gardner) or get less expensive costs from a wholesale florist center.

If you’re holding your marriage near to the reception location, you can reuse the same flowers at both locations. A great tip to reduce costs is to use tall palms which you can sometimes get cheaply at grocery stores or home improvement centers.  This can make a huge visual statement.  Another idea is to use balloons, ribbons or cut branches to spruce up the hall without
turning to costly flowers.

Personalized Tote Bags or Personalized Necklaces Make Great Gal Gifts

August 13, 2009

So don’t get overwhelmed when you shop for your gal pals, just go to EyeCandyGift.com.

Getting the proper makeup for your special day

August 12, 2009

Everyone wants to be a glowing beautiful bride on that special day. Looking after your skin will make it appear more perfect when the makeup artist will apply the foundation. Drink masses of water, get facials and on the day of your marriage clean, tone, and moisturize.

If you have knackered looking eyes try some cucumber eye cream. One word of caution : don’t get a facial 2 weeks before your marriage day because as with any facial, skin might get irritated and you finish up with either blemish or skin irritation. Join a gymnasium for you to excercise not only you may loose some additional pounds, but it will give your face a healthy appearance.

When it comes to your makeup that special day, ensure you have a clear sense of what you need for your hair and makeup. There are 6 basic cosmetic wants when it comes to your makeup : foundation, powder, lipstick, and concealer. Having good communication with your hairstylist and makeup artist, you will achieve your preferred look.

The Best Man

July 17, 2009

Of all of the members of a marriage party, the best man position is both the least appreciated and the most misunderstood. The best man is part of a marriage custom that goes back centuries, to the earliest ideas of nobility and gentlemanly conduct.

In terribly real terms, the best man is the individual selected by the groom to act as his “second”, or boss of affairs, in the marriage preparation and in the rite. And being the best man often means saving the marriage and the wedding before it has got an opportunity to begin. I once heard of a marriage in which the groom got cold feet the morning of the major event. Panicked and feeling confined, he tried to sneak out the tradesman’s entrance of his hotel ( the marriage was in the bride’s hometown ) and attempted to sneak away like a burglar in the night.

Fortunately, the best man his friend since high school caught him in time and was in a position to ease the groom’s nerves, forestalling certain heartbreak. So given the pressures and responsibilities pressed on him, you can see why the present your best man receives should be a long-lasting token of your appreciation. It’s not only a honorarium, and it isn’t a token of your love. The best man present is for real, evidence you know what’s he endure, what he is done, and what it implies to you. As such, we’ve prepared 3 straightforward recommendations to help make the absolute best choice.

Remember that these are guidelines more than rules, but the closer you follow them, the better off you will be when choosing a present.

Also they are given to business colleagues like managers, clients and comrades to show a feeling of appreciation and admission for a good job, faithfulness and commitment.

It is unquestionably a suggestion you need to consider when arranging an executive gift-giving.

You can consider engraved card holders made from glass, marble or metals. Customised cufflinks, money clips, flasks and card cases also makes a great proposal. The engravings makes these gifts more elegant, ideal for an executive look. Additionally, you’ll also give something which will commemorate a retirement day for a retiree. The majority of the time customized picture frames, watches, travel bags and other personalized souvenirs are best found online at a personalized gift store. Ultimately , you can simply buy an executive gift for a pro man or other half, graduate, bridesmaid or groomsmen to show appreciation or to commemorate events.

Keeping your wedding as affordable as you can

June 12, 2009

It’s your day. You are marrying. Time to start your excellent life together in debt. Let’s accept it, the bride’s family isn’t necessarily willing ( or able ) to foot the bill for a massive marriage. More often these days the bride and groom are paying for their own marriages, and wish to do it sensibly. The excellent news is, cheap marriages do not mean you’ve got to give in on style or sentimentality. It suggests using your imagination. For example, I knew one couple who hired a cheap roller rink for the night and got married on skates to a cheesy organ playing “Here Comes the Bride.” After the promises they and their guests had a superb time skating round the rink. Too pricey for you? Maybe you might hold your marriage outside at a mate’s or relation’s yard. If there’s a pool available, you might change it into a fun marriage pool party.

Marriage theme parties may also be a creative, fun and cheap ( we do not use the word “cheap” ) way to be married. You could go to cheap craftstores to make any sort of theme marriage you would like : Western, Hawaiian, Cosmopolitan, Elvis, Star Trek, “Survivor” ( yes, that is right, a “Survivor” theme marriage. ) What alternative routes are you able to economize on your wedding? Purchase your dress secondhand. Ask your mates and family to make your food and cake for you in lieu of a marriage present. Why employ a DJ when you have an iPod or MP3 player?

If you live in California, cheap wines are simple to find. But, if you live somewhere else, there are always labels like Columbia Crest, BV Coastal and Mirassou that are great tasting and cheap. Chandon, a label from California, has good, cheap cava for around $13.99. You can always have a more costly bottle of poo reserved for the bride and groom. It’s all about concerns. Choose which components of your marriage are most critical to you and which you would like to reserve for a serious part of your financial position and which elements aren’t all that crucial to you. Maybe saving money for a place is your concern and a marriage just isn’t all that critical. In that case, run away and have a modest party later. Do what makes you most happy.
