Winter First Date Tips

Ice skating

A perfect way to break the ice, this is a classic winter date idea, and it's no wonder why: You get to wrap your arms around one another, have some laughs and get some fresh air and exercise. Half the fun is trying to stay standing up, and the other half is helping each other up.

Hot chocolate

Instead of meeting for coffee, make things a little sweeter. A hot chocolate date can come after some time in the snow, or can be done all on its own. Bonus: chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac - so use one hand for your warm cup and the other one to hold his.

Build a snowman or a snow fort

This first date activity will require you to work as a team, and will keep you totally relaxed and having fun - it's a great way to get to know your date without too much pressure to make conversation. If the mood is right, maybe you can start a playful snowball fight!

Get cooking

Instead of going out, make a meal of dessert together. Start by scouting a recipe you both want to try, then shop for the ingredients together and spend the night making it all perfect. The pressure of making conversation is removed when you have a recipe to follow, measuring to do and batter to stir. You'll be surprised by how much you can get to know someone by cooking with them.

Wine tasting

It's not just for the summer - many wineries are open year-round and will conduct tours and wine tastings for little or no charge. Wineries are beautiful, historic and naturally romantic and if the first date goes well you can buy a bottle for the next meal you share together.

Get some game

Cuddle up in the bleachers at a hockey game. There plenty of local leagues and most of the time the games are free to attend. Pick a team and root for together, or bet against one another and sweeten the pot with a romantic reward. Either way, you will have a great opportunity to chat and get to know each other between periods.

Posture and the Enemy Within

Habit influences everything you do. How you stand, sit, breathe and even think. But are you aware of their total influence on your actions? Try the following experiment.


1. Fold your arms and note the position of your hands and which arm is on the outside.

2. Now unfold them and fold them again but this time the opposite way. Note your reaction to how this feels.

Does it feel odd or even wrong? In the first step you used your habitual 'folding the arms' pattern. You did not have to think about how you did it because you have an existing pattern; it's automatic and feels right. Did you have to think for a moment before carrying out the second instruction? It may even have taken several attempts to achieve. This is because you do not have an existing pattern for this movement and it has to be consciously worked out. It will probably feel wrong because you will not have done it like this before so the sensations from the muscles and joints will be new to you.

The important lesson from this experiment is how the two positions feel. Your habitual pattern feels right and is easy to do, your non-habitual opposite way feels wrong and is not quite so easy to do. There is obviously nothing wrong with the opposite arm-fold but that is exactly how it will feel. Would you normally choose to fold your arms in this manner? What feels right and wrong is therefore determined by habits that may be working for you but also against you.

So familiar feels right, unfamiliar feels wrong. There would have been a time when you didn't fold you arms and you learnt by watching others do it. The important point is that you will have learnt to fold them in a particular way with either left or right arm on the outside. If you have never folded them the other way around you will never choose to do it this way and probably never cross your mind that it could be done another way. Whichever way you do it first you are likely to become stuck with it; it's your habit for life. Folding your arms in the same way continues to re-enforce the feeling of rightness whilst creating the set of 'rules' for this pattern you will always follow.

Now what about how you stand, sit and walk, your basic actions that you spend every day performing? Why should these actions be exempt from the 'rules' that apply to your arm-folding habit? Of course they are not. So how you sit at your desk is done in a way you have learnt to do it and it will feel right. There are many ways to sit but would you ever try these out? If you do, how do they feel? Can you maintain your new sitting position for long? People can soon become uncomfortable as they use new muscles for sitting that are normally inactive for sitting.

So in effect we all create our own unique bubble to exist in but we can't see it because we are in it. To the snowman inside his dome the weather never appears to change! If you develop poor habits relating to movement how would you know? Neck, back and shoulder pain are the most obvious symptoms but how can you accurately identify the cause when the fault lies with the very equipment you would use to diagnose and correct it? Never performing to your full potential is a less obvious symptom simply because if you haven't been there how do you know if you are underachieving?

So when you try to change your posture, don't do what feels right! Yes this does sound a little odd, but remember what feels right is down to your habits: the ones causing the problem! To successfully change a habit, any habit, you will have to go into the unknown - the feeling you had when folding your arms the opposite way. This is the only way you can be sure you are not engaging your old, poor habits.

Festive Jewelry For Holiday Weddings

Get into the spirit of a holiday wedding with festive jewelry! Special earrings, bracelets, and necklaces with a holiday twist are the perfect way to set the stage for a Christmastime wedding. Unique jewelry with a holiday theme is ideal for everyone from the bride to the bridesmaids to the flower girl; read on for suggestions on how to pick the perfect pieces for your wedding.

Let's face it, there is just something magical about a Christmas wedding. Everyone is in the spirit of the season, and will be feeling especially cheerful as you tie the knot this December. Special holiday inspired bridal jewelry is a wonderful way to embrace the joy of the holidays as a part of your wedding celebration.

One fantastic idea for holiday wedding jewelry is pieces which have been handcrafted with Swarovski crystal snowflakes. The carefully shaped crystals twinkle and glimmer, just like a frosty winter day. They are perfect for anyone in the wedding party (or for the wedding guest looking for a festive pair of earrings to complete her outfit for the big event). The Swarovski snowflakes are so intricate and beautiful that they look best in a simple design, such as on a pendant or as the main decorative element on a pair of drop earrings. They make fabulous bridesmaid jewelry gifts, and are also wonderful for the bride and the mothers of the bride and groom. Best of all, you will be able to enjoy a set of Swarovski crystal snowflake jewelry all winter long.

If you are planning a true Christmas theme wedding, complete with poinsettias, holly, amaryllis, and evergreen boughs, you will want equally traditional holiday themed jewelry. A marvelous idea is Swarovski crystal earrings which are handcrafted to look like tiny perfect Christmas trees! They are absolutely unique, and will be a real conversation starter. Green crystals are layered to form a "tree", and then finished off with a crystal trunk and a red "star" topper. These precious earrings make ideal gifts of jewelry for a bridesmaid, junior bridesmaid, or an older flower girl. They would be spectacular with red or green bridesmaid dresses.

Everyone loves a snowman, and that is another fun motif for winter wedding jewelry. Little snowman earrings are great for a wedding in any winter month, not just December. They are handcrafted in either Swarovski crystals or pearls, complete with black crystal "top hats". Unique snowman earrings are not only wonderful for the wedding party, but they also make sweet thank you gifts for anyone involved in your wedding, from the bridal shop owner to your wedding coordinator.

If your wedding is close to New Year's Eve, a very sparkly all crystal look is gorgeous. Bridal jewelry sets which are created with dazzling Swarovski crystals will help you to celebrate your New Year wedding in high style. Especially fabulous are long drop crystal earrings with a teardrop shaped crystal topped with a ruffle of round crystals; they look amazing with a bridal gown with a ruffle detail. Have fun choosing festive jewelry for your winter wedding. These special pieces will help to make your entire wedding party get into the spirit of your holiday wedding. Best of all, holiday theme jewelry can be enjoyed over and over each holiday season.

Marco Melanson Piano Sonata 2 in G "The 1980's"

1st movt - New Wave: Allegro 2nd movt - Rubik's Cube: Adagio 3rd movt - 80's Fashion: Presto This sonata was written in 2001, though completed at the start of 2002. At the time of its composition, I was wanting to claim back my belonging to the 1980's after having completely forgotten about it for two years and to make that wonderful decade come back. The synthesizer-filled music, the neon colors, the tight fashion, the Rubik's Cube, the simple video games, the lovable TV shows and toys such as Care Bears, and the carefree attitude have marked my childhood so well that seeing the world in any other way is completely unrealistic. I finally had an explanation to why I so desperately wanted vinyl to come back and digital formats (both CD's and downloads) to die, after having spent two years wanting to forget about 80's music and listen exclusively to the then-current boyband pop! The widely-spaced chords at the beginning were inspired from learning that Thompson Twins' leader Tom Bailey liked John Cage. The rondo finale even has the markings "skin-tight" for the 1st episode, "with neon colors" for the 2nd episode, and "big hair" for the coda.

Treasure Hunting Underwater

The tools and methods you will use to find treasure under water really depend on what you're looking for. Most recreational treasure hunters will find that sifting works best for them.

As with other treasure hunting methods, it's good to have a plan in mind as you begin your search. You can mark out your search area with stakes in shallow water, or buoys in deeper areas. Deep water treasure hunting is an activity that you should never attempt on your own. Always take a treasure hunting friend with you, and notify someone else where you are going, what time you plan to be back, etc.

For the purpose of this guide, we will focus on treasure hunting methods that can be done in shallow water. While experienced Scuba divers can certainly venture into other territories, the average recreational treasure hunter will probably have more luck skimming the shoreline for jewelry, coins and other valuable lost at the beach.

A snorkel kit is a great tool for any underwater treasure hunter. Snorkeling allows you to keep your eyes on the ocean or lake floor as you carefully tread over top, searching for treasures. You can use an underwater metal detector as you snorkel, sweeping the coil over the bottom as you move along.

If you've ever snorkeled, you already know why marking out your search area is necessary. You can quickly get off track with only the ocean floor to guide you. Pick a natural landmark if you must, and look up often to be sure you are on track. In cooler water, a wet suit is a must. It will protect you from the cold water and keep you warm all day. In warmer climates, a wet suit is unnecessary but you will still need to wear gloves. There may be sharp cans, rocks or other objects just below the surface of the sand that could hurt your hands if you grabbed hold of one.

What would you be searching for underwater? Well, people lose all kinds of items at the beach. It is an area that can be searched often, as there is a constant supply of new treasures from forgetful and unfortunate swimmers who've lost their rings, necklaces, cell phones, earrings, watches and more. Coins are another popular find at the beach, though you are more likely to find new coins that were lost recently than you are to find valuable old relics.

Underwater treasure hunting poses its own unique dangers, even in shallow water. Before setting out, it is important to do a bit of research about the fish and plant life that live in the body of water you are searching. You may want to avoid certain areas at specific times of the year. If there are poisonous fish or plants, you must be able to recognize and avoid them.

Some treasure hunters simply use a sifter to search the top inch or two of the sand on the ocean floor. Others use a magnet to seek out any metallic objects.

Best Christmas Lights - Indoor & Outdoor Decoration Ideas

Have you made up your mind about your Christmas Light decorations now that the Festival season is almost on you? Don't be left out. You do not want to be the odd one out in your neighborhood when it comes to Christmas decorations, do you? You may have the ones you used last year nicely stored in your basement or store space. If so go ahead and check whether they are still usable. There are many ways these could now be out of commission.

If these are usable then all well and good, go ahead with your planning. If you did not have any last year now is the time for you to plan out things for this holiday season.

Think of a good theme which may or may not be for both indoors and outdoors. You can certainly go for two different themes altogether, but a common theme will look better and will be less complicated too. The outdoors will certainly take up more of your attention, because it will be a tad complicated because of the harsh outdoor conditions at this time of year. Regardless, it is one thing which will help you to share the fun and spirit of the season with others in your neighborhood.

Your plan would reflect what sections of the house or garden should be decorated, what type design is best for the outdoors and indoors, which trees, plants and flower pots should be fitted with decorations. You will need to know where your power can be linked from, and if nowhere is available what modifications you should go for. There are a host of other considerations which will depend on your individual requirements.

Now is the time to think about a theme for your Christmas Light decorations. The theme naturally has to blend with the physical features like Trees, garden ornaments if outdoors and if indoors various furniture and the built in features. Some common themes you can consider are;

o Magical Winter land- A theme where you can incorporate Snowman figurines, Reindeers and sleighs, even Santa Claus if you feel like it. Cool blue and white lights in every form will form a suitable back drop, but all colors would blend in well with this. One can easily add items which you yourself or your family members make and get these incorporated in your decorations. In the alternative many items made of synthetic material are available if you fancy them. Whatever it is the decorative lights will have the final say in bringing out the fun and laughter the occasion demands.

o Nativity Theme- The key issue of the festival is the nativity and is therefore an appropriate theme to put your mind too early on in you planning! If you want to make the decorations Solemn, whilst still bringing out the joy of the coming of Jesus the Christ, there is no other theme better suited. The birth of Jesus Christ is a joyous occasion and gaily decorations of Christmas Lights are therefore not out of place! The traditional Creche has to be the pivotal decoration. Lot of tiny blinking stars, and a few spotlights with concealed indirect lighting thrown in would be most appropriate

o Trendy Green theme- With the current consciousness on sustainability and natural products this is an ideal occasion to let others know of your feelings about the issue. Your children will get an opportunity at home level to experience what it is all about. It is a good theme to spread the message that man has no right to destroy what God has created. Lighting naturally will be green, with lots of low power consuming LED lights and colorful CFLs thrown in.

o Or any other which may emphasize your individuality- Here you are free to be more individualistic and creative. You know the best the topography of your outdoors and that of the neighbors. You are free to select lighting to suit your own theme.

You have a multitude of choices for decorative lights. Traditional C7 and C9 lamps, which you have grown up with, will bring about nostalgic feelings too. This is the least trouble maker perhaps of all types, except when it comes to the electricity bill!

The smaller mini lights in strings are good for any occasion, not only for Christmas. However if a tiny bulb comes loose or breaks the whole series will black out! For the Green Decorator and the ones with an eye on the electricity bill the ideal is the LED light, a newer entrant to the scene. Slow to get damaged, either due to mishandling or longer usage, these come in different colors as well. If your theme is Green this is a must.

Whatever the theme you decide on it is prudent to select decorations that you can expand on next Christmas season. If the whole family can take part in the preparations what better pleasure can you get than that? Christmas Lights are electrically operated and it is most important to take the safety measures, in line with your local regulations, at least when your do your installation. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Get the Best Dressing Hints From Fashion Magazines

One of the important factors of a fashion magazine is that it helps to determine why certain materials are used for certain styles. You will find that two or more materials are used at times in styling an outfit. A wise designer planning an outfit for herself will not be inclined towards a material simply because she likes the texture and the fall of the material. This is where fashion magazines help you to select the right kind of material for the design of your choice.

While designing a garment, certain materials are used for certain sections of the garment and not simply whatever may catch your fancy. For example crepes are manufactured to be used for clinging styles and not fluffed up designs. Materials such as taffetas, organdies and crisp batistes are used in suit styles where fluffs are involved, as against the crepes, which are used for the clinging styles. A very important point to be observed is that fabrics are designed to suit styles and styles to suit fabrics.

Color Suggestions

Studying individual designs helps in making the right selection of pattern and material. Then comes the choice of color to be adapted to the lines of the garment and the fabric used. The end result will be a pleasing and appealing garment.

A factor to be considered, though, when choosing colors, is that the color portrayed in the fashion plates will not be an absolute replica of the color produced by the textile manufacturer. Neither would a true outline of the garment as it will appear with fabric, be presented in the magazine by fashion designers.

However, it is possible to get suggestions from the color plates shown in fashion magazines, once you have understood about lines. Keeping this knowledge on lines in mind, you will be able to give prominence to a color that will most effectively bring out the garment. You will be able to bring out the soft, silent tones or tints of a color where desired, while you choose a fabric that will best bring out the lines suggested by the designer in a fashion drawing.

Interpreting Fashions

In the market, you will find a number of fashion magazines that suggest only style tendencies, color and fabric combinations. Such magazines will still be of value, if you have studied patterns and lines. It will help you with ideas and suggestions to incorporate in your garments.

In most cases, you would be able to apply these ideas even more successfully than the artist himself in his drawings. You would be able to bring out the practicability of the garment by adapting it to the material to give a harmonious outline to suit you.

Building a Team? Think Snow!

As a child, I was mesmerized by what I learned about snowflakes. On those rare days of snowfall in the southern United States, I watched millions of tiny flakes falling, knowing that each was unique. Wise adults taught me that people were like snowflakes - each of us a unique individual. I learned to value the differences, even celebrate them.

Yet, when I think of snow now, I rarely focus on individual snowflakes. It's not the crystalline structure of each flake that captures my imagination, but the blankets of silent whiteness, the happiness of packing snow into a jolly snowman, and the power of an avalanche. As unique as each snowflake is, I'm more drawn to the image of all of those snowflakes combined, joined into something bigger.

The still, sparkling surface of snow in moonlight, the round, frozen belly of the snowman, and the awesome power of the avalanche exist because all those snowflakes, different though they may be, stick together. Their elemental nature, what they have in common, binds them. Side by side and moving in the same direction, they combine to become more than the sum of the parts.

And so it is with us. Each of us is unique and that individuality is beautiful and a cause for celebration. But when it's time to get things done, it's the setting aside of our differences and joining together that does the work. We become more than a collection of unique individuals. For all of our uniqueness, we are made of the same stuff, and focusing on our common nature empowers us. We become a team and the job gets done.

If you want to build a powerful, effective team, think snow. Like snowflakes, our differences make us interesting, but it's our sameness that makes us powerful.

How to Tea Dye

If you're looking for a little help on how to tea dye, you've come to the right place. But first - why tea dye?

Sometimes I wake up way before dawn and I want to make a doll or a Christmas ornament right NOW! I live at least 40 minutes from the closest fabric store and they're not even open yet. While I might not always have commercially tea dyed muslin on hand to make my bunnies and reindeers, I always have yards and yards of the regular bleached and unbleached muslin that I can convert to the perfect color with tea dye.

Other Reasons to Tea Dye:
1. It's an easy and inexpensive way to mute down fabrics that look too bright or too new.
2. It's a way of bringing together unrelated fabrics.
3. It's a way to make any fabric look older or more antique.
4. It can mask minor stains.
5. The tea dye process is more forgiving than mordant dying, although not as predictable.
6. The tea dye is non-toxic.
7. It doesn't irritate skin.
8. It can be done in stages: dye it, dry it and if you're not happy with the result, dye it again or bleach it out.

Tea Dye Quirks:
1. Tea dye only works on natural fibers such as cotton, silk, linen, wool. It should also work on satin (woven from silk) and rayon. I have never tried it on rayon, but in general, rayon takes dyes very well.
2. It can be difficult to get large pieces of fabric to tea dye evenly. But personally, I like the subtle mottled look and sometimes the uneven coloration is perfect for the project at hand.
3. Tea-dying will NOT take a white fabric to off white, eggshell or ecru. It is a color all its own -- a shade of rusty brown - although it can be very light.
4. One lovely trait of tea dying is that if you're not happy with the color, you can let it sit longer (for darker and more intense results) or you can mix a little bleach in the rinse water to lighten or remove the color.
5. Once the tea dye is set, it is semi permanent. That means that the color won't wash out easily, but it may come out when washed with a bit of bleach or an "oxy-clean" type product. While I wouldn't use tea dye for t-shirts or other clothing that will get washed frequently, it's perfect for the tenderly treated items like dolls and quilts.
6. Don't confuse tea-dying with tea staining. Tea dying is when an item will be submersed in a tea dye bath. Tea staining is done by applying the tea dye with a rag or paint brush.
7. Tea dyed fabric will dry lighter than it appears when wet.
8.Matching one batch of tea dyed muslin to another is almost impossible. Make sure you do enough yardage to complete your project.

Tea Dying Instructions:
First, gather the materials needed.
o Natural fibered fabric or items (gloves, lace, floss)
o Tea bags (orange pekoe or black pekoe. Use the cheapest bag tea that you can find)
o Boiling water
o Glass or stainless steel container

It's a good habit to start any dying project by washing the item/yardage with a mild detergent and rinsing it in cool water. This ensures that the sizing is washed out and won't inhibit the item from taking on the dye as evenly as possible. Let it sit in the cool water as you make the tea dying mixture.

Start by boiling water. A general rule of thumb is 4 cups of water for 1 yard of fabric. When the water boils, remove from the heat.

Add 2 tea bags for every 8 ounces of water. So for 4 cups of water, you'll need eight tea bags. That will make enough tea dye to tint one yard of fabric.

Let the tea bags soak for 5 minutes. DO NOT ADD THE FABRIC YET.

After the steeping, your tea dye concoction should be a very dark reddish brown. Pull out the tea bags. Depending on the quality of the bag, you can gently squeeze it to get out the last bit of tea, but be careful the bag doesn't break and drop bits of soggy leaves into your tea bath.

Take the wet yardage and gently squeeze out the excess. You don't want to add so much water that it dilutes the tea dye. Submerge it into the tea. For a more even dying, gently swish and swirl your fabric periodically. However, if you want your fabric to take the dye unevenly for a more interesting look, just leave it creased and wadded.

When you think your fabric is dark enough, remove it from the tea dye mixture and rinse in cool water. During the rinsing process, a lot of the color will flush out. The lovely thing about tea dying is that you can go ahead and drop it back in to the dye if you want it darker.

There are two ways to set the color.
1. Fill another container with fresh water. Make sure the container is big enough to hold your tea dyed fabric. For every gallon of water, add ½ cup of white vinegar. Let your fabric sit in this mix for about 15 minutes. Then rinse the fabric and press it dry.
2. When you achieve the color you want, toss the fabric in the dryer set on its highest setting. When it's almost dry, remove it and smooth it out with an iron set at the hottest temperature the fabric can handle.

There is only one caveat that I've ever heard about tea dying: The pronounced amount of tannin in the tea dye can compromise the fibers of the fabric and it will rot away. The tannin will supposedly cut the longevity of the fabric to 30-40 years.

Check Out Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Baby's Loved Ones Toy for $7.99

Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Baby's Loved Ones Toy Review



I put a picture of me, my husband, and mom in here. At first my daughter was just interested in looking at the pictures. Then she started grabbing them and batting at them. Now she loves chewing on the different textured leaves and frames. This is a really cute toy. It is easy to swap different 5x7 pictures in and out, but the baby is not yet at the point where she can take them out yet, and doubt she will be able to for a while. I hook it up to the jumperoo with links and she plays with it there. I also put it on the baby gym a few times. You could hook it to links to the carseat. The options are endless.



Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Baby's Loved Ones Toy Feature


  • Wooden ring links three soft photo frames together
  • Each frame can hold a 4x6 photo of baby's loved ones and has a clear cover
  • Inspired by nature made of select hard wood with old school charm
  • Helps to develop baby's senses with sounds, colors, and touchable textured fabrics
  • Bright colored for imagination and learning



Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Baby's Loved Ones Toy Overview


Inspire baby's vision, touch, and smiles with Baby's Loved Ones Photo Book. Three soft, fabric pages hold 4' x 6' photos of those who baby loves most. Bright textured fabrics, including fleece, velour, and sateen are a treat to baby's curious hands. A large wooden ring is easy for baby to grasp and securely holds the pages together, with a bright tuft of soft velour ribbons on the top. Fill the pages with photos of baby's loved ones and see her light up with smiles. Insert photos of baby's loved ones into the soft frames. Point to each photo and tell baby who she is looking at. Babies love looking at faces and will especially enjoy seeing faces of the people she is most familiar with. As baby grows, point out specific facial features or expressions. You might say 'there is mommy's nose!' or 'daddy looks happy!' while you point to the photos. Baby will learn the names of different body parts and become familiar with facial expressions, which will help her to express herself as she continues to develop. A thoughtful gift baby will love and appreciate for years to come!

Eco-friendly and cute! - Brandi - CT
These are great. We were looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to the bright starts plastin picture holder as is smelled up the entire room with toxic chemical plastic odors. This one doesn't smell at all and although a tad bit diffficult to get the 4x6 picturesin at first, so worth it!



fun book - aj ca - ca
I like this book because my baby can see photos of us and touch them. Then when I am looking at photos I don't want him to touch he can play with his photo book.



three photos only - A Customer - Mpls-St Paul area
I like the album, but its only three pages and the pages are one-sided (instead of two sided like the soft Gund albums). So, the capacity really is just three 4x6 photos and it's sort of a tight squeeze to get them in.

I do like that it's earth friendly and that there is some textural interest in the leaves and ring. The colors are very nice and cheerful.

Because it holds so few photos, I think it's best suited for a very young child.



Perfect for baby! - Just my opinion - Arkansas
This item is just what I wanted! My sister lives several states away so I'm giving this to my nephew for Christmas so he can see his family every day!
