Think you Don’t Have to Worry about your Skin in your Teens? Think Again
Posted by Louis on March 29th, 2012
The invincibility of youth is only part of what gives teenagers their high-intensity glow; whatever else is involved, it all adds up to a nearly-adult human being who has begun forming his or her own beliefs. Once minds are made up, they become difficult to change. As a parent, it may not be the easiest job in the world to convince your teenage son or daughter that they will not look beautiful forever, and they need to be mindful of their skin care even at a young age.
From Dimples to Pimples
Since teenagers are more prone to the presence of acne as a skin condition than everyone else, it would seem intuitive that they would have skin care foremost on their minds, but some still do not. Going to the beach and getting the darkest tan possible have been rites of passage for past generations – people who are now dealing with skin cancer, blotchiness, wrinkles and other problems that come with too much UV exposure.
Keeping It Cleaner Than Your Room
If acne is indeed the issue, there are remedies galore either on the shelves or over the counter at your local drug store. Telling teenagers to clean their skin gently but thoroughly, not to pick at their unsightly pimples, and to use – but not abuse – the right cosmetics may well net you only a rolling of the eyes. But if you keep pouring on the good advice, you can at least hope that it might sink in, like (you’d also hope) sun block.
If they can keep their pores clean, they’ll be fine, socially speaking. If you can’t keep your hands off the wheel, then encourage them to use – Read: buy them – oil-free moisturizers. Teenagers might not appreciate all, or even many, of the things you do for them but if you can get them into the habit of taking good care of their skin, they’ll not only be grateful for a lifetime, they’ll also look great in the family pictures… And when they come over to do laundry.
If you keep up with your skin now you’ll look 20 years younger when your older.
Dressing Up for the Best Seats at the Hollywood Bowl
Posted by Louis on March 21st, 2012
Thanks to Hollywood Bowl seating, you will always be able to experience the best seat in the house and get the highest return on your entertainment investment. Before wearing just any outfit to the event that you attend at the Hollywood Bowl, you should think about what you’re planning on wearing and dress for the occasion.
Tips on How to Dress
Thanks to the Hollywood Bowl’s schedule you can plan on what you’re going to wear to the Hollywood Bowl. Just view the schedule online via the Bowl’s website or the ticket website that you’ve purchased your tickets from.
In terms of colors it’s always best to wear dark or neutral colors and avoid anything like pastels or bright colors to draw attention to yourself. If you love color, you should choose a neutral color for the outfit that you wear and add a piece of color as an accessory to go along with your outfit.
Think About the Event
Before attending an event at the Hollywood Bowl, think about the event and ask yourself if the clothing that you will be wearing is appropriate.
Not every event at the Hollywood Bowl will require you to dress the same, for example: theater events, off Broadway musicals or classical music concerts will have a more formal dress code than rock converts or events that appeal to children.
History of Bridal Showers
Posted by Louis on March 19th, 2012
As the story goes, there was a young Dutch girl who fell in love with a Dutch miller. He was poor, however, because he would always give his money to the more needy. When the young Dutch girl told her father that she wanted to marry the miller he disapproved and refused to offer a dowry. The townspeople did approve, though, and each brought a gift to help the young couple start their married lives. With such displays of generosity, the father was won over and so the bridal shower tradition began.
Europe
The dowry (the money and/or possessions a woman takes to her husband in marriage) started its tradition in the 16th and 17th century in the Netherlands. It is believed that when the bride’s family didn’t have enough money to provide a dowry or if the family refused to provide one, friends of the bride would send presents to compensate. The custom doesn’t exist in the United Kingdom, however. The bridal registry is the only occasion where guests are asked to bring gifts to the couple. In the United States, it’s customary to participate in both the bridal registry and the bridal shower.
United States
The hope chest tradition (the collection of items by unmarried women) seems to have developed from the dowry custom in the United States in the late 1800s. By the early twentieth century, both upper and rural class Americans were participating in the activity which quickly expanded to include food, favor and bridal shower games. It is believed the term ‘shower’ came from Victorian times when presents where collected in parasols or umbrellas.
The contemporary bridal shower seems to have developed from many earlier marriage practices seen throughout Europe. The United States, Australia and Canada are currently the three largest countries who participate in this tradition which developed around the late 1800s.

Where to Wear Your Sexy Halloween Costume
Posted by Louis on March 12th, 2012
Halloween costumes that drift toward the brink of immoral can be one heck of a lot of fun; but they have their place. Case in point: Wearing your sexy Halloween costumes to a children’s Halloween party for example, might be a bad idea.
Super Heroes Can Be Sexy
Women in skimpy leather clothes that are studded and binding, with chains and leather straps can run the gamut anywhere from Xena Warrior Princess or a dominatrix to Cat Woman or Lightning from final fantasy. Men in tight spandex outfits, muscles rippling from their ABS and thighs to their biceps can play superheroes such as Spiderman, Batman or even The Hulk, if you’ve got the body for it (that means it has to be more than just green). Old school heroes like Superman and Captain America can still be sexy when done just right.
Scope Out The Bar Scene
By scoping out Halloween parties ahead of time you can hit as many as possible with your sexy costumes and maybe win some cash prizes, bar tabs or even just a couple of drinks from strangers. And let’s face it, on Halloween; everyone’s a little stranger.
Sexy is as sexy does so don’t just dress the part; remember to play it up for all it’s worth.

Choosing the Right Playtex Bra for Your Dress
Posted by Louis on February 28th, 2012
If you’re wearing a dress – especially if you’re going somewhere very elegant – you want to have the right bra for your needs. Don’t just assume that you can wear the bra you normally wear under your t-shirts, because it may not look as good under your dress. You may also need a strapless bra, something that pushups you up, or something that minimizes you, depending on the size of your bust and the style of the dress.
Look Great and Feel Great
When you look good, you feel better about yourself. Something as simple as a bra can play a large role in how you actually feel about yourself, and that’s something you should carefully consider. No one else will see your bra, but they will be aware of how well it fits based on how you look in your dress. An ill-fitting bra can make you uncomfortable and make your entire outfit seem “off” and not as stylish as you had hoped.
Get a Style that Works for You
In considering your dress, also consider what kinds of bras you really like. Make an effort to find a dress that will allow you to wear a comfortable bra. If you can’t find a dress that will let you wear the kind of bra you’re accustomed to, you should find a bra that will work with the dress and see how comfortable it is before you commit to the dress. That way, you’ll be sure to be comfortable and have a bra that works.
There are many different styles of Playtex bras, and you may not be limited to just one of them. It all depends on your dress and how you want to look. Consider that carefully, of course, before you make your decisions. It can be a very long evening if you have to wear an uncomfortable and ill-fitting bra.
