What We Love About Coffee...
What We Love About Coffee
A steaming cup of coffee in the morning is one of the best wake-up calls that a person can have. It is so good that people can't even function without having one cup in the wee hours of the morning.
Coffee can indeed be addicting. Some even drink five to 10 cups a day especially when they are at the office wherein coffee is one of the staples, whether in meetings or in simple brainstorming sessions.
But what is it in coffee that we just can’t go without? Is it just the taste that we just can’t get enough of or is there more?
Lifestyle at its best
Coffee drinking in the country has ceased to be just a drink. It has become a lifestyle. People who drink coffee and hang out in coffee houses are perceived to be the corporate types who enjoy high standards of living. Also, coffee houses in the country have also become more sophisticated, installing in their areas wifi connections, which people can use to surf the net for free.
Social aspect
Coffee drinks have become the beers or the wines of the new generation. People get together and just talk over a cup of coffee. They hang out and just chat about anything under the sun. This is perhaps why coffeehouses have also become hang out places of people, even those who conduct meetings.
Stimulating ideas
Coffee is the number one drink when people are brainstorming or just plain discussing about something. This is because coffee can be really stimulating to the senses, thus aiding in mental work and creativity.
Calming the nerves
Coffee is also a wonderful way to relax the senses. Despite being a stimulant, coffee can actually soothe the senses because of the heat that it provides the body.
After meal habit
People have also gained the habit of drinking coffee after every meal. Some believe that this is because coffee can aid in the digestion of food or help in letting the food flow freely into the body. Some drink coffee because it washes off the after taste of the foods that they eat.
Delicious
With the great tasting flavors and mixes that has come up, who wouldn't want to drink coffee? There is the Cappuccino with its cream and milk or the coffee topped with cherries or strawberries. Gone are the days when you just drink your coffee black or just add some sugar to it. With so much variety, who can resist?

What Do The Color Of Your Shoes Says About You ?
What The Color Of Your Shoes Says About You
Color is present in everything and color therapy suggests that color has more of an impact in our lives than we may realize. It is said that colors can influence our moods and well being.
That being the case, it follows that the colors that we ourselves wear influence our own moods as well as the well being of the people we communicate with. It would then be practical to plan our outfits accordingly so that we can positively influence the events of our lives.
For instance, we should know what color should we wear for a job interview, for a date, for a presentation, etc. Of course we will need the right colored shoes to match our outfits for a powerhouse of color power to help us out. Below are some suggestions to get us started on empowerment through the color of our shoes.
Red Shoes
Red is a strong color that signifies strength, passion and sensuality. Wear your red shoes on a first date and get a boost of confidence and fervor you can easily communicate to your partner.
Pink or Peach Shoes
Shades of peach and pink are the opposites of red. Peach and pink signify calm and cool. Pink or peach shoes can be worn for first dates too if that is the impression you want to project. Otherwise, shoes of these colors can be worn for occasions like weddings and such.
Black Shoes
Black shoes should be a staple in your collection because it goes with anything. More than that though, black signifies elegant power and a versatile grace so it if you don't want to go wrong, black shoes are a safe bet.
Brown Shoes
Brown signifies solidity and reliability probably because the color reminds us of the earth. Wear brown shoes to convey that you are reliable and trustworthy.
White Shoes
White of course signifies purity and simplicity. The right styles and designs of white shoes would be perfect for outdoor events especially during summer and warmer seasons. White shoes convey a wholesome image of innocence.
Gray Shoes
Don't underestimate the power of the color gray to convey balance. If not black, you might want to consider wearing gray shoes for a job interview. It is said that gray communicates braininess and being grounded. These may make a good impression on others enough to hire you or get you a raise.

Bridal Shower Games
Click Here For More bridal shower Games
If you're hosting a bridal shower, there are literally hundreds of games to choose from. Some are silly, some are serious, but all are about having some fun with the bride before she's married. Here's a sampling.
One fun game really puts the bride on the spot with regard to her knowledge of her husband-to-be's life. Prior to the party, have someone ask the groom a series of questions, such as where he was born, what his favorite food is, things like that. Then at the bridal shower, put the bride on the spot by asking her the answers to the questions. See how many she can get right (hopefully at least half!). If she does well, give the girl a prize; she deserves one.
One all-time favorite game is toilet paper wedding dresses. This game involves separating the guests into teams consisting of at least 2 people and no more than 5. Give each team a roll or toilet paper (or 2) and have them fashion a wedding dress out of the toilet paper. One of the team members will volunteer as the model. Provide them with a "dress up trunk" filled with jewelry and shoes. They must make the dress out of the toilet paper, but they can accessorize with the provided jewelry, shoes, gloves and hats. Place a time limit on this (5 minutes is adequate) and have the bride vote on the best dress. Be sure to provide prizes for the winning team!
Another fun game that's always a hit is making the bride get dressed while blindfolded. Tell the bride she is to pretend she's on her honeymoon and the power has gone off. She must prepare for her wedding night in complete darkness. Provide her with a suitcase filled with items and then blindfold her. She must get dressed in a certain period of time (2 minutes is adequate) while completely blindfolded and with no help from the guests. Include some silly items like oversized sunglasses, garden gloves or a flannel nightgown just to make it fun. This is a photo opportunity, so be sure someone is waiting to record the end result!
Another fun game puts the shower guests more on the sport than the bride. In this game, everyone puts their purses in the center of the room. Create a list of items commonly found in a purse and assign a point value and create a list of less common items and give them a higher point value. So you might give lipstick 2 points, a tampon 3 points, and sunglasses 5 points. But a granola bar could be 10 points and a staple remover, 15 points. Then go through the purses awarding points and give the person with the highest number of points (and therefore, the most items and probably highest number of unusual items) a prize.
Before the shower, create bingo cards for this shower bingo game. In the squares, put pictures of items you think the bride will receive at the shower. So, boxes might include things like lingerie, towels and the like. As the bride opens gifts, have people mark off that item on their bingo card. If nobody gets a "bingo" give a prize to the person who marked off the most number of items.
This next game is a derivation of a popular game that's often played at bachelorette parties and involves a stripper. This is the clean version. About 30 minutes into the party, have the bride leave the room and pass out pieces of paper. Have everyone write on the paper everything they can remember about the bride's outfit, hair, etc. How many rings is she wearing? What color is her blouse? Is she wearing open or closed toed shoes? Once everyone is done recording their observations, the bride comes back into the room and a prize is awarded to the person with the best observation skills.

How Effective Botox Is For Wrinkles?
Botox is a chemical substance obtained from bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. In a typical condition, Botox has the ability to obstruct the natural association between a nerve and a muscle. We all know that the contraction of muscles primarily contributes to the formation of wrinkles, so the use of Botox ensures decline in wrinkle production. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the therapeutic usages of Botox in cosmetic grounds, especially in reducing wrinkles.
Botox for Upper Face
The usage of Botox for treating wrinkles is found beneficial, however, research suggests that it functions best in facial wrinkles, particularly in the upper face. In fact, for encountering the problems of frown-lines, Botox functions like a miraculous potion, as reported by a huge number of satisfied customers. Additionally, an effective performance of Botox for treating horizontal wrinkles on the forehead area and on glabella is observed. Glabella is the area positioned just directly between two eye brows. It helps nicely in treating crow’s feet as well.
Botox for Lower Face
While the point comes about treating the lower face wrinkles, Botox may not offer satisfactory results. In fact, the use of Botox for treating wrinkles around the mouth, also referred to as laugh lines, may not be as effective as it is with frown lines. Studies suggest that even the administration of a small amount of Botox in the upper lips may cause a droopy lip, leading to an uncomfortable effect on the speech pattern. Additionally, it may result in further complications if Botox are used for treating wrinkles in the lower face area.
Duration of Botox Treatment
When Botox are used for treating wrinkles, typically patients come out with mixed feelings. It arises mainly because of lack of information at patients’ end. The people who undergo Botox therapy for treating their wrinkles sometimes expect overnight results. But this is not the true story indeed. Although the action of the Botox injection starts after 2-3 days, the peak time comes in 2-3 weeks after injection. The duration typically lasts for 3-4 months if the correct dosages are administered.
One misconception is prominent with the treatment of Botox for wrinkles. Many patients complain after few weeks that they are still able to move their forehead and thus Botox is not effective for them. However, the essential goal for Botox treatment for wrinkles is to reduce the concentration of wrinkles, and not to immobilize the forehead area. In fact, you can count it as a good Botox treatment for your wrinkles if you could find less wrinkle lines without hampering the mobilizing ability of your forehead. What it matters that you don’t have any visible marks left once you make your forehead relaxed.
