Unique Wedding Rings

Unique wedding rings may be the smallest item purchased for the wedding but they carry the most significance; they are the one, long lasting aspect of the marriage and needs to be chosen carefully. It may take a while to find the right ones but this is not a bad thing; you will know the ring for you as soon as you discover it. When you are choosing your wedding rings you need to make sure you choose a jeweler that has quality rings; if possible avoid one of the jewelers chains situated in shopping malls everywhere as it is unlikely anything unique will be found there.

Although you will undoubtedly find you can buy this type of ring in a mall jewelers; they may not have the range or the quality of a specialist. Using a specialist should also make it easier when you are trying to find a ring that works well with the engagement ring so the two do not conflict.

Couples should not purchase wedding rings that overpower the engagement ring as these rings are meant to be understated; some jewelers are able to provide rings that were designed to match. The best way to do this is by trial and error, having the wedding band placed alongside the engagement ring.

Fashions in rings come and go but the traditional metals including: (1) Titanium, (2) Yellow Gold, (3) White Gold and (4) Silver; although, increasing numbers of couples are choosing the longer lasting platinum. For men, durability is a contributing factor and why platinum is so effective. The number of men carrying out manual tasks is still greater than women; they are still the ones most likely to cause damage to their ring.

To ensure both wedding rings fit on the wedding day, it will be necessary to have both of them re-sized correctly; you really don't want the rings to fit poorly after all the planning that has taken place. Neither ring should be so tight that they require lubrication to put them on or take them off; just as in the same way they can be so loose they can be easily lost.

It is not uncommon for couples to leave having the rings adjusted until close to the wedding day; this can cause the jeweler problems because he may have others to adjust for the same day, so allow plenty of time for this. Choosing wedding bands you will both like and that match the engagement ring may take some time; allow for this as it is not uncommon for couples to choose in haste and then regret their decision later.

There isn't a stronger symbol of two people's love than the wedding ring; there isn't a stronger symbol of the love two people share.

Fall trends for back to school - fashion advice
It's that time of year again. Summer is fading fast, and most American kids are back in school. And with the coming of a new school year come the fall trends in fashion. How can your little diva look cool at school? By wearing the hottest new back-to-school fashions, of course! Below is some fashion advice for dressing your princess in fall trends she'll love. With these great fall trends, she'll be more than ready to go back to school!

Fashion tips - color

This year, it's all about color - wild, neon colors, including bright purples, lime greens, hot pinks, and shocking blue. Have fun mixing and matching these colors with black for a fun, free-spirited look. Black and white, in mini-stripes, checks, and plaids are also "way cool"!

The fall trends often mix bright colors with neutral or muted earth tones. You'll see lots of buffalo checks and plaids that mix bright or neon colors with brown, khaki, and black.

Fall fashion advice - shorts

I don't know about where you live, but here it's still warm when school starts. In fact, it's warm enough through September and into October for girls to wear shorts. Fall trends for shorts include solids, prints, and patterns. Perhaps the most popular fall fashion for shorts is the madras plaid.

Pair these with tees or tanks - especially those sporting beadwork, stones, and studs.

Fahion advice - leggings

Leggings are still in! Solid colors, stripes, patterns, and wild, zany leggings look great worn under a tunic or skirt. Tuck them in a low boot, or wear them with sneakers or low-healed pumps. Tights are still hot fashion items, too. Closed-toe tights and ankle tights will be worn just like the leggings as part of fall fashion. And don't forget the socks! Crazy socks are the order of the day. Choose bold stripes, bright colors, and wild patterns.

Fall trends - skirts and skorts

Popular skirt styles range from fitted to pleated to full and ruffly. Simple black tailored skirts will be worn with all kinds of tops this fall. One of the most popular skirt fashion will be the layered-ruffle skirt. These have three to four layers of loose rufles, from top to bottom.

Fashion tips - tunics

These longer tops come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Most are very "girlie," with cap sleeves, ruffles, ribbons, and bows. Others are more tailored, but they're still a big part of fall fashion.

You're in the army now!

One of the newest fall trends is the military look. You'll see this in pants, capris, and jackets. Olive drab slacks and cargo pants, aviator and bomber jackets, and tailored cropped jackets with a military cut will be hot!

Fashion advice on patterns

Plaids are hot this year: plaid skirts, plaid blouses, plaid tunics. Big checks are in, too. Think black checks with bold-colored checks in lime green, bright purple, neon blue, and hot pink. You'll even see checks on shoes, especially on the high-top sneakers and ballet flats.

Fashion tips - high-topped sneakers

Just like the old Converse sneaks from the sixties! Popular solids include black, hot pink, and lime green. Wild, funky patterns are in, too. The shiny patten-looking high tops are fashionable now, also. Take out the laces and replace them with satin ribbon.

More fashion tips for sneakers

Laceless sneakers: These are ultra comfy and look great with jeans and skirts. Cool sneakers with laces are another fall fashion that will be hot. These fall trends include the low-cut sneaks like Converse. They'll be worn with jeans, shorts, and skirts.

Fashion advice - Boots

Just-above-the-ankle boots are on the shelves now, in a wide range of colors, including bright neons. Wear them over tights or leggings, or with jeans. Slouch boots in suede and leather will also be a hot commodity. And rain boots - don't overlook these adorable additions! Check out the links below!

Fall fashion -Skinny jeans

They're back! These skinny jeans are everywhere, especially in blue and black denim. Wear them under your short boots or with ballet flats for a sizzling look. For a fun look, wear the skinnies with a pair of low-top sneaks.

Fall trends - Shrugs and scarves

Wear a simple black shrug over a long tunic. A great look is a white or black-and-white tunic with a black shrug.

Brightly colored scarves will be worn with almost everything this fall. Even short-sleeve blouses will often don a scarf. Most of the scarves will be tied low and allowed to fall midway on the chest.

Fashion tips - Shoes

Flat is where it's at! Ballet shoes, Flat-heeled pumps, mary janes, slippers, and athletic shoes will be covering the cool feet this year. Ballet shoes will be seen in solid colors, patterns, and animal prints.

Fall fashion - Hoodies and jackets

Yep, they're still in, especially ones with stripes or zany patterns. Girls' hoodies are looking more feminine this year, however. Many will be in velvet, with rhinestones and other girly embellishments.

Guess what else is back? Bomber jackets! They've emerged from their long hibernation and will be a sizzling fall fashion this year. Fashion-savvy girls will be wearing cropped bomber jackets and longer bomber jackets with jeans, khakis, and more. To see bomber jackets for kids, check out the links below!

Fashion advice for tees

Choose tees with humorous sayings, logos, graphics, or rock bands. Tees in wild colors are cool, too. T-shirts are super comfortable and easy to care for, and they're generally inexpensive. Some are embellished with rhinestones, appliques, or silver studs.

Fall trends - Ties

They're not just for guys anymore. Bowties, regular neck ties, and jeweled ties are all the rage. They can be used to dress an outfit up or down and can add some pizzaz to practically any ensemble. You'll see lots of fall fashion accompanied by a tie.

Fashion advice on Layering

Once again, layering will be part of the fall trends. Layer tees under plaid shirts, sweaters, or hoodies. not only is this a good look for girls, it's also very practical. Fall weather is unpredictable. Mornings can be chilly, but by afternoon the weather might be warm. Your little diva can "unlayer" as the day gets hotter. Plus, she'll be wearing a great fall fashion!

Vintage fashion

Retro and vintage fashion is more popular than ever! Just about anything retro is way cool: faded embellished jeans, peace signs, leather fringed vests, love beads, hats, and rock tees. You'll see lots of fall trends displaying peace signs and "Love" in psychadelic colors.

Another vintage fashion that has made its way back is tie dye. You'll find lots of tie-dyed tees on the racks. Buy a couple, or make your own! You'll be in real fall fashion mode.

Be sure to check out the pics below the clothes!

Now...go shopping! And have lots of fun!

How to Use Olive Oil for Your Face
Women and men have used olive oil for their skin and hair throughout history. This page named olive oil for face is going to show you how to best use olive oil on the face. Some use olive oil around their eyes and they have absolutely no sign of wrinkles. If you are interested read my other article about olive oil for hair.

Why olive oil?

Olive oil is a natural ingredient and doesn't have any chemicals, it's just 100% natural. Many beauty and skin products on the market today have a lot of artificially created and even toxic ingredients. These do little good to your skin and some may even damage your skin.

Olive oil is full of Vitamins and Antioxidants that help the skin cells to revitalize and heal. Olive oil is particularly rich in Vitamin E. This Vitamin is very important for the cells of the body. It prevents free radicals to damage cells and it protects the skin from Ultraviolet Light (UV). It also increase the communication between the cells so that waste products can be more easily and new nutrients can arrive to cells in need faster. This means that olive oil will prevent and reverse wrinkles in your face if you use it daily.

Your body doesn't manufacture Vitamin E but needs to get it from food. Olive oil is in the top 3 foods that is richest in Vitamin E. Sunflower seeds and almonds are the other foods.

You may think "well I purchased this beauty creme and it said to include Vitamin E so why should I use olive oil?". The answer is that many beauty products have artificially created Vitamin E instead of the natural. The natural form is actually made up of 8 different compounds were the artificially only has one. This is not always the case since some beauty products actually have real olive oil in them but they are usually expensive. Plus, olive oil has more natural Antioxidants and compounds than most beauty products.

A good rule of thumb is, "If you can eat it you can wear it" The oil will go inside your body to your cells so why use something that can be toxic.
What Type of Olive Oil Should I Use on my Face?
Now, when you are about to start using olive oil on your skin and face you need to be aware that not all olive oils are the same.

Extra Virgin Oil - This oil is from the first pressing and it usually contains the most Antioxidants, Vitamins and nutrients. The pressing is done without heat (cold pressed).
Virgin Oil - This oil comes from the second pressing and still contains some nutrients and antioxidants but less than Extra Virgin Oil.
Pure Olive Oil - This is olive oil that has been extracted by some type processing. It could be heat or chemical. This oil contains less Vitamins and nutrients than Virgin Oil.
Extra Light Olive Oil - This olive oil undergoes a lot of processing and not much vitamins and nutrients are left.
For this reason it is best to choose extra virgin olive oil for your face.


How to Apply Olive Oil on Your Face?
Drip a few drops of extra virgin olive oil in your hands and apply it in a circular motion to your face. The motion is to increase circulation of the skin cells as well as opening of the pores. Olive oil will dissolve many impurities of your skin so take your time and really massage the olive oil into your skin.
Put on a washcloth with hot water on your face to further open up the pores to remove impurities. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so. You can also change washcloths it it is starting to become cold. You can also heat some water in a pot and put your face over it for a couple of minutes and let the steam do its work.
Use the washcloth to wash off the excessive olive oil from your face.
