Five Dont’s in New Love

By Michael Douglas It’s been two weeks (a month?) the two of you have been seeing each other and things couldn’t have been better. However, don’t get complacent. There are some rules you need to set before you take your relationship to the next level. Tell him when you don’t like something! He forgets to call, makes you wait 20 minutes, ends up talking on the phone when on a date with you…. And you forgive it all? Tighten the reins, girl, and give him a blasting once in a while. He has to respect your time and boundaries from the start. Reversing his taking you for granted (that’s what it is) later on will be tough. Stop being together 24/7! Ouch, how do you guys stick together all the times? This is the surest way of getting sick of each other pretty quickly. If it’s just you two, it also means either one of you or both are forgetting your friends - the surest way to zero social life. If not you, sooner or later he will have a problem with that. Give each other some breathing space and keep in touch with your friends! You make some plans too! A guy might like his woman to go along with his plans, but if you don’t want to be labelled doormat and taken for granted, start taking a little initiative. Letting him make the plans always is not about pampering his ego - it’s showing that you are spineless. What, he does not ask you when making plans? Refer to point 1. Delay “Meet the Family” for a while! Even if you are not contemplating marriage yet, social visits to yur family should be delayed for as long as possible. Many things could go wrong: he gets the wrong signal that you’re trying to hook him, or thinks you’re hurrying him or worse still, if you’re not thinking serious, your parents start pressurising you to tie the knot! Limit the I-love-yous’ please! No matter how many times you say it, no man will ever learn to say it often enough to please a woman (forget Gomez Addams!) The more you say it, the more he thinks you’re not going anywhere and the more he won’t say it (or not often enough!) The smart thing to do is to make him crave to hear it! Michael Douglas is a dating and relationship expert and he writes for Love-Lectures.com where he provides dating advice and online dating tips to have yet another successful date. Here you can also find romantic ideas to spice up your love life and relationships.

How To Plant A Vegetable Garden

By Diane Crawford If you’ve dreamed of having healthier, readily available fresh foods for your family to eat whenever they’d like, you may have started wondering how to plant a vegetable garden. Planting your very own vegetable garden allows you to control whether harmful chemicals are used on the foods you eat, allows you to have fresh vegetables for cooking or eating raw during harvesting season, and saves you money both in the summer and winter, because you can freeze or can the vegetables you grow and use them throughout the year. Planting a vegetable garden is not difficult either, but there are a few steps involved. First you have to plan the location of your vegetable garden, then you need to prepare the soil for your vegetable garden, then you will plant your seeds or starter plants. From then on, it’s just a matter of caring for your vegetable plants and keeping the weeds away. And before very long you will find yourself outside picking fresh vegetables right off the vine. Planning your Vegetable Garden The first thing you’ll need to learn about how to plant a vegetable garden, is that location is very important. Vegetables need five to six hours a day of full sunlight, so where you place your vegetable garden plays an important role in how successful that garden will be. You will also need to plan your space wisely. Depending upon how many vegetables you want to plant, and how much of each vegetable you’d like to be able to harvest, you might find you need quite a bit of room for your vegetable garden. A family of four for instance, generally needs rows of vegetables approximately ten feet long to provide enough harvest for the entire family. So if you want to plant twenty different vegetables, you will need a lot of space. Vegetable gardens can be planted in containers however, so this might be an alternative option for you to consider. Many vegetables can grow in one container too. Your best bet for the first time planting a vegetable garden is to start small. Choose maybe five vegetables to plant for instance, or try planting smaller amounts of many different vegetables. Preparing your Soil The next step you will need to learn about how to plant a vegetable garden, is that soil preparation is very important. There’s a lot to learn in this area, so we won’t cover it in detail here. But the basic steps involved with preparing your vegetable garden soil involve turning the soil, and enriching it with compost or other organic matter. Vegetables need a lot of nutrition to grow well, so the better you prepare the soil before planting, the better chances you have of producing a bountiful crop. Planting Your Vegetables The third step in learning how to plant a vegetable garden is the fun part. You will plant your vegetable garden seeds or starter plants in the newly prepared garden soil. Now, if you’re planting your vegetables in traditional rows, you’ll simply sprinkle seeds along the top of a row, then cover then lightly with a thin layer of soil. If you’re using starter seedling plants for your vegetable garden, you will make a slight hole in the top of the row, put your starter plant down in the hole, then pack the mounded soil around it lightly. Planting vegetables into raised garden beds is done the same way when you’re using rows. If you decide you’d like to plant your vegetables in square blocks however, that’s easily done in the same ways too. Alternatively, you can randomly place your vegetable plants and seeds, and you will get a more natural growth look from your vegetable garden when the sprouts begin to create leaves and produce.

One of the most important and valuable uses of therapeutic-grade essential oil of marjoram is for relieving menstrual difficulties.

Choosing and Using Glass Paints

By Geraldine Jozefiak How you choose and use your glass paints can make all the difference to your projects. It’s wise to know the pros and cons of paint options before you make a purchase. There are many manufacturers out there selling their products through retailers and online stores, but essentially there are only 2 types of paint. First though, be clear that whilst you may choose to use glass paint on ceramics, ceramic paint is opaque and will not give you the clear transparent look you may be after. Some ceramic paints also need to be set in the oven, and this could bring up some health and safety issues if you are working in groups. Once you’ve decided on the type of paint you are going to use you can select the carrier: water-based or methyalted-based. There are pros and cons to both and the final decision really rests of the resulting look you are after. Water based paint is widely used in schools and with groups as it is more easily washed off hands and clothing, and doesnt give off fumes. The water based paints can be easily mixed on a plate to get the right colour tone, though of course, you can’t ‘make’ white or black. Water based paint flows differently from methylated-based paint, and, is in my opinion, rather thin. That means that you will need a lot of paint to get the depth of colour you might be after. The problem with this is that as glass paints dry quickly, any extra layer of colour that you add, will look just that: additional, and it will be possible to see where you have added it. The resulting colour area will not be uniform as it would if you were to use methylated paints. Methylated-based paint, on the other hand is vibrant and rich in colour. Again, the colours can be mixed on a plate to suit your purposes. This paint however has 2 big considerations: 1. it is not easily washable (use meths. To remove any spillages) 2. it gives off fumes. It’s important when using these paints to ensure adequate ventilation by working with an open window. As an extra precautions I always keep the tops on the bottles for as long as possible. Your paint brushes will need to be washed in meths too rather than water. I decant fresh meths into an individual serving jam jar + lid. Don’;t worry if the colour changes as you clean your brush. The meths is still effective as a cleaning agent. Just make sure the brush is wiped off on kitchen paper before inserting back into a new colour. You can build up a deep colour with this paint by loading your brush and pushing, rather than brushing the paint between your outlines. Brushing out too small an amount of paint can leave ‘thin areas’ on our glass, mirror or acetate. If this dries, before you have seen it, again, this paint is more forgiving, allowing you to add another layer of paint to increase the vibrancy/depth of colour. If you can, push the paint to lie within your outline like a raised (convex) mound. When it dries the colour will be fuller than if you had brushed out the colour. This is one of those crafts where being generous with the materials will make a difference to the result. Do though weigh up the fumes factor and be aware of any susceptible indivduals who may be prone to asthma or bronchial difficulties. If possible I try to do my painting sessions in a little used room, and better still, confine these activities to the afternoon, allowing any fumes to dissipate overnight. At the end of the day, the choice is yours and hands-on use with a variety of products will help you make the decision right for you.

The 3 Biggest Lies About Promotional Pens

By Cindy Carrera Every time you turn around there’s someone on your phone or doorstep, trying to sell you pens for you to use for promotional items. Every time they show up, you buy a few hundred or thousand, though more than likely you have a storage closet somewhere that’s full of them. That’s because you’ve bought into lie number one: Pens are a great way to easily promote your business. The truth is a pen is good for branding your business, but it does little to promote your business. Why? Because it doesn’t do any real promoting! A pen with your logo, name, address and phone number just tells people who you are. It does nothing to make them want to use your company’s product or service. Worse, it just lies around, waiting to be picked up and used-and mostly it will be used to make a grocery list, not to find your company’s name and address! Lie number two is that pens are a great way to inexpensively market and promote your business. This isn’t true, and that closet full of pens should be proof enough. Yes, you can get fairly cheap promotional pens, but you know what they really tell people about you? That you’re cheap! People aren’t stupid. They know a cheap item from a more expensive one. And even though they will take and even use your pen, they will not connect you to quality. If you want a pen to do that, and you do or why bother, you’re going to have to buy more expensive pens that show you’re a class act all the way. This kind of promotional pen costs a great deal of money, so you won’t get away, um, cheaply. Quantity and/or quality will, either way, cost you money, so pens aren’t really a cheap promotional item after all, are they? Now, for lie number three. Yes, it’s the big one! Because everyone gives pens away as promotional items, you should too in order to compete. Remember being in high school where everyone dressed the same way? Look back at your yearbook and you’ll see that everyone pretty much looks the same. Only a few brave souls who dared to be different stand out. Same thing with promotional pens. There are a gazillion of them out there. And they all pretty much look the same and say the same thing: logo, contact information and website URL. If you want your promotional item to wow your customers and potential customers, you won’t do it with a pen, most likely, unless it is one killer, expensive pen that does everything a cell phone can do. The promotional arena is just saturated with promotional pens. So break away from the herd! If you feel you have to use a writing instrument as a promotional item, look into buying some cool mechanical pencils! They’re easily available and are far more effective for promoting your business than promotional pens for two reasons: 1) Not everyone else is giving them away, so they’re automatically different, and 2) (and this is a secret!) people want them. Why? They’re great for kids to use in school or to do homework. And help one of today’s busy, overly zealous parents out by giving them something little Jake or Jane can use, and I guarantee you’ll be remembered-and better, called on for your product or service!

Lose 10 Pounds Quick The Right Way

By Ellie Prince Rather than trying to accomplish unreasonable milestones, try taking baby steps with your weight loss regimen. Instead of saying you want to look like a supermodel within a year, set a reachable goal of 10 pounds at a time for example. It is a lot easier to lose 10 pounds fast than it is to lose several shirt or dress sizes. If appropriate, try to join a support community of other like-minded families who want to get rid of weight. Not only will this help keep you focused, but it’s a lot more fun as well! If an activity is more fun you will be more likely to partake in it. Otherwise if it’s all work and no play we tend to procrastinate. I’ve seen this time and time again, consumers who get very pumped up in the beginning and vow to follow through with their selected weight loss regimen. The fact is this motivation quickly subsides sooner or later, and all your work will have been for nothing. At any rate if you are trying to shed 10 pounds or 50 pounds, you need two things, diet and exercise. Going with only one route without the other will not provide you with the ultimate vitality levels- which is what you are trying to go for in the first place. In terms of diet, it’s advisable to seek a consultation with a nutritionist to see what is the best diet regimen for you. People may avoid this because they think it is an unnecessary cost, but think of it this way, you either see an expert, or you have to try and become the expert yourself- wasting tons of time and money on resources and books in the process while failing to shed any weight in the process. After you’ve crafted your diet regimen, find some physical activities that you can do for fun and is user friendly to where you live. For starters, you can go jogging around the block a few times a day while listening to some music. Quick healthy weight loss related products and services are to be had at the author’s portal. http://www.ez-poundsoff.com/quick-healthy-weight-loss/ Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ellie_Prince http://EzineArticles.com/?Lose-10-Pounds-Quick-The-Right-Way&id=332277 ambien pills ambien toxicity in dogs withdrawl ambien cr ambien effects long side term

Cheap Natural Solutions For Dry Skin

By Helen Hecker Xeroderma, the medical name for dry skin, occurs most commonly on the lower legs, arms, the sides of the abdomen and thighs and is a very common condition. The use of natural or synthetic cosmetics to cover the appearance of the face and condition of the skin, like pore control and blackhead covering, is common among many cultures. The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. The dermis is structurally divided into two areas: a superficial area adjacent to the epidermis, called the papillary region, and a deep thicker area known as the reticular region. The average square inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes, and more than a thousand nerve endings. Environmental factors, such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps, can cause dry skin. If you break out on the skin around your eyes, it could be the shellac in your mascara; buy a shellac-free mascara like Ecco Bella’s. Forced-air furnaces may make skin even drier than it already is. When the skin loses moisture it may crack and peel, or become irritated and inflamed. Certain drugs, including diuretics, antispasmodics, and antihistamines, can contribute to dry skin conditions; check with your pharmacist or doctor and read the drug insert - you can get one from your pharmacist. Dry skin can be caused by a deficiency of vitamin A, systemic illness, overexposure to sunlight or some medications. Eat high-fiber snacks like raw nuts, raw seeds, fresh fruit or dried fruit like dates, and figs. For an easy fiber boost, to help your skin, add one to two tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds to two or three apples and mix in your food processor. Eating foods high in omega-3’s are particularly important to people with dry skin or acne. Only use mild cleansers or mild soaps if you must use a soap or cleanser. Dry and pat your skin gently and thoroughly after a bath or shower if it’s extremely dry or irritated. Avoid all products that have an alcohol base. Use a thin layer of coconut oil under your make-up, if you wear it, to moisturize and soften your skin throughout the day. Use can use bath oils and moisturizers every day, but coconut oil has the added power of healing. To see what coconut oil can do for your skin fast, apply coconut oil several times a day and at bedtime. Use coconut oil to remove your make-up at night, like I do; it leaves a fine layer of oil to nourish your skin all night long; but better yet, apply more coconut oil. I buy coconut oil by the gallon; it’s cheaper for a whole gallon of coconut oil than a small jar of department store, name-brand moisturizer. Skin that’s not clean favors the development of pathogenic organisms; the dead cells continually slough off of the epidermis and mix with the secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and the dust found on the skin, to form a layer on its surface. The skin is subject to constant attack from without; it can be affected by many conditions, diseases and ailments. You should see the results with improved skin within a few days following these dry skin tips and suggestions. See your doctor or naturopathic doctor if your skin doesn’t improve in spite of your best efforts. If your dry skin lasts for a long time and is itchy or feels hot when you touch it, see your doctor.

Refreshing Your Relationship: Give 100%

By Virginia Bola, PsyD A common expression is “I’ll meet you halfway,” and we often take that attitude into our marriage. I hear frequent complaints from couples in trouble that their partner isn’t pulling their fair weight, that one is giving more than the other. Whoever determined that life is a 50-50 proposition? Some give more than others. Some take more than others. On every level of society from politics to business to social interactions, there are discrepancies of effort, economics, and emotions. Going into a relationship with the expectation that contributions will be fairly shared is to court disaster. Over a span of time, a certain amount of evenness will develop through a process of give-and-take and ups-and-downs. But at any specific point, one may be giving while the other needs to just take for a while. We all need to enter the most important relationship of our life with the foreknowledge and determined commitment to give 100%. Once we have internalized that concept, we can avoid the painful feelings we get when we think we are being cheated of our just rewards. If the relationship is healthy, and both partners are committed to the 100% investment, eventually it will work out somewhere in the middle -probably never 50-50 but somewhere in the broad bell curve of averages: 30% to 70%. At different times, the equation adjusts as careers, children, and other responsibilities change. If you are the individual giving 70% and your other half is falling a little short, remember that you swore to give 100% so you are much better off than you expected. Can you see how such thinking changes the framework of your marriage? You’re not getting cheated, you’re getting much more support than your original bargain called for! You can use this new attitude in any aspect of your partnership. Many couples develop resentment over their relative monetary contributions. If you have the initial anticipation of being the sole breadwinner, then any contribution by the other, however small, is a great big bonus. If you enter the union with the expectation that you will handle all the cleaning and parenting chores required, then anything done by your partner is a plus. If one of you handles your mutual social obligations, then the participation of your spouse, even if limited to just showing up and being there, is more than you expected. You may feel, as many of my patients do, that you are not getting the support and good strokes that you deserve. Reframe the sense of deprivation within the 100% concept and you find that even occasional support and positive feedback is an unexpected gift. We all need to feel loved and appreciated and cherished. We also need to give love and appreciation to others. If we give more than we get, we can harbor anger at our being cheated or we can love and appreciate our own selves for having a greater capacity to give. This one single change in your outlook towards your relationship can transform the hidden resentments that result in nagging, negativity, and verbal putdowns into a deep satisfaction that leads to overt affection, positive support, and mutual respect.
