Celebrity Weddings- who cares?

by

Just glimpsed Entertainment Tonight and I see that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going to get married very soon.

You’d think they were royalty the way the media has been talking about them continuously over the past year or so. I can’t wait until they get married and then maybe the press will settle down about all this wedding stuff and give it a rest for a while.

Of course they won’t though. Yet another celebrity will be in the news for eloping, being engaged or getting married. What’s the big deal. People get married every day. It’s a normal thing, and it’s supposed to be special, but celebs and many non celebs treat marriage so casually. Marriage is like buying and wearing underwear – you don’t just throw them out when they get dirty, you have to wash them and take care of them.

Are you as tired as I am about hearing about Cruise and Holmes and other celebs and their weddings?

Marry close to home or on an Island?

by

One of my friends is going to get married next year and she’s trying to decide if she should start planning to have her wedding here, or if she wants to have a small wedding on a tropical island.

I’ve been trying to talk her into getting married away from home for several reason, one being that I’d be invited and I need a holiday in a warm spot. LOL

Don’t worry my other reasons are mainly for her and her husband to be’s peace of mind. I think it would be more romantic to get married on an Island – perhaps in Hawaii? She could have a Maui Wedding completely arranged for her there if she decides not to have the service here. I know that there are lots of packages that she could choose from such as anything from a scuba wedding to a Sunset wedding ceremony.

She wouldn’t have the stress of trying to plan it all down to the last detail because the company that provides these wedding packages do it all for you from obtaining the wedding license to the photographer.

If I were getting married again or renewing my vows I’d certainly think about doing something list this.

What do you think? Should she stay home and have a big wedding or should she go to a tropical island and have a more intimate ceremony?

Health and Beauty products

by

I found another site that might be of interest. Everyone uses vitamins, health and beauty products and nutritional supplements don’t they? Hand creams, soap, Aromatherapy or candles? Yeah, you do, right?

I’m pretty sure you’re going to like this site. It’s called N101 Nutrition, Health and Sport. They have a great selection of natural supplements, beauty products, Diet and weight loss products made by 100’s of familiar brand names. There is information about each product selection – ingredients, and nutrient facts.

I went into their Health Notes Library and I was amazed at the number of articles they had. I think you could spend hours reading all the information their library contained.

If you are interested in saving money on your favorite brands you can save 30% to 75%, as well as taking advantage of their customer rewards program where you can earn points for each purchase, then redeem them for discounts or free merchandise. N101 prides itself on its priority customer service.

Healthy Lifestyle Website

by

I’ve come across another site that some of my readers might find very helpful. Do you like free items? Perhaps Free Product Samples? It seems to be pretty easy. All you need to do is register on the site and this will enable you to get free product samples.

The company states that it’s goal is to connect American consumers with America’s top brand names. Members will be entitled to obtain free product samples, coupons, and offers for brands and products that they normally buy or that they might someday be interested in purchasing.

As a member you can obtain products from big brand names such as Nature made, Ambien, O.B., Tylenol, Dove, Pfizer, Kleenex, Purina, Robitussin, Oral-B, and Centrum. There are not shipping costs or fees for members.

Did I mention the free articles that you will have access to with your membership? There appears to be articles on minerals and their effect on our health, Diet and weight management products, maintaining a healthy lifestyle plus many more articles.

The site states that membership is free. I didn’t register myself because this site is geared to Americans and as a Canadian I was unable to register, but it looks like there is a lot of good information, advice and tips to be had there, plus free product samples of course. Check it out for yourself.
