March 26, 2020February 24, 2022BrianComment(0)

In this day and age, of suicide and depression, of sex and drugs, parents want to know what’s going on in every breathing moment of their teenagers lives. They want to know where they’re going, who they’re with, and what they’re doing. But, being a teenager myself, we all know that one little lie can […]

Swimsuits first came about in the 1920s where women wore tank-like suits, then slowly progressed to suits with skirts in the 1930s. After this, along came the corset style swimwear that was in the ear of the 1940s to 1960s, although more stars and celebrities sported this style as the rest of the women wore […]

Swimwear Clothing – Types Of Swimwear Today

March 20, 2020June 19, 2020

Nowadays, there are a million kinds of swimsuits, with varieties of colors, styles, and sizes to choose from.

Types of swimsuits in this article: One-piece (more adults wear than teens), Bikinis (most teens wear than adults), and Tankinis. (Adults and teens both favor this.)

Styles of the One-Piece: Styles of this type of suit can vary from full coverage and plain to revealing and colorful. Used to they were always fairly plain and now they have become very showy and sexy suits. Places such as Victoria Secret have some that are very nice and stylish and while you may not be able to wear a bikini, wearing a stylish one-piece will keep you feeling young and sexy without showing everything.

Styles of the Bikini: Wow, there are so many styles of the Bikini today. First, there is the basic; string top, usually sliding triangle, with string bottom, usually full coverage. You can now get the top in a halter form or bandeau form as well. They can tie or fasten as well. You can choose some that fully cover and those that barely cover. The bottoms are about the same. You can choose side ties, scoop, hipster and you can choose full, moderate or skimpy coverage.

While on Bikinis I’d also like to mention the craziness they have invented. They now have the thong bikini, the micro bikini, and the Brazilian bikini. The micro bikini is around 2 inches at the widest point (this varies) on the front. And of course, is a string thong all the way to the back. The thong bikini is just that. And Brazilian is the style, which is higher cut on the sides and shows more of the back and front. Very unique style.

There are of course also the boy shorts and hot shorts. Boy shorts being of full coverage usually, and hot shorts of moderate coverage.

Styles of the Tankini: Tankinis usually sport a tank-like a top that is fitted and can either go all the way to past your belly button, to stopping right under your chest. You can usually pair this with any style bottom of your choosing and they usually come paired with regular bikini bottoms.

These three types of swimsuits have become very popular and more and more women are sporting the skimpier ones. I won’t complain because if I had the self-confidence and body to wear one, I probably would too!

Tips for Installing an Aluminum Patio Cover/Carport

March 18, 2020March 19, 2020

Tons of people try to improve their patios with the help of furniture, daybeds made of real wood, or by installing an aluminum carport to make it more modern and efficient. There are lots of things to consider as you are upgrading your patio.

If you have ever wondered how to install an aluminum carport or patio cover, then just read this article and it will be easy for you. I have installed a lot of them, by myself. Some of them were very large.

First, you need to order the cover. Measure the area you want to cover and make sure of where the posts will be and how they will be attached. This kind of cover is very light and needs to be secure. If you don’t install this cover right, the wind can take it away, heavy snow can collapse it, or it will leak in even light rain.

After you know what size you need, and have purchased it, you are ready to begin. If the cover is to be attached to another structure, install the first gutter/ beam to the structure using lag bolts with washers every sixteen inches, making sure it is level. These are pretty self-explanatory in that the wide part of this piece goes to the bottom as it actually is a gutter. If it is free-standing, you will need to install posts on each side and attach the first gutter to the posts on one side. Next, you need to install the corners of this piece. This is done by screwing it onto the first gutter with two self-tapping screws. Now you are ready to install the end gutters. Insert one of these gutters into the corner and attach it with two screws. Make sure you let this gutter drain slightly. I suggest about one-half inch per ten feet. You need to have a helper to hold this up on one end or rest it on a support post or step ladder. At this point, you need to seal this corner. ( After you have installed the roof panels, this can’t be sealed. ) Install another corner onto the other end of this gutter. Next, you need to install the other end gutter in the same way. Now you can install the last gutter. Make sure to check the corners to make sure that they are sealed. This is the frame that will hold the roof panels. You need to square up the frame. This can now be anchored to the posts.

The panels are somewhat different from one manufacturer to another, but they all have basically the same construction method. Install the first panel at the end of the frame, and screw it into place with two screws at each end of the panel and seal these screws. Next, put another panel into the frame, and it should lock onto the first panel by hooking it on in an upright position and laying it down to lock. Do not force it, if it doesn’t go in easily, you have something in a bind. Look at the panel and get this step right. These panels do not require any sealer at the seams, only on the screws. Screw this panel down, and repeat this process until you are at the end. The last piece of the cover may need to be cut. If this is the case, cut very carefully with tin snips, or score it with a utility knife and bend it back and forth until it breaks off. Install this panel as the others were installed, and seal all screws.

These covers usually come with clips to anchor the panels to the top of the gutters, make sure to use these clips on every panel, this will keep the cover from collapsing in heavy snow.

Now you need to put a downspout on to carry the water off. Mark the location and drill holes around, until you can get a short metal cutting jig, saw blade in and cut out the hole. Attach the downspout. Clean up your mess, and enjoy your cover.

How To Plan The Perfect Baby Einstein Theme Party For Your 1 Year Old

March 18, 2020March 25, 2020

From the time my son was six months old I knew I wanted to have a Baby Einstein theme first birthday party. It was at this time that I searched and searched for unique, inexpensive Baby Einstein theme decorations. I soon found that Baby Einstein was not cheap and wasn’t so easy to find. In my article, I will share with you how I planned my sons party, the things that I wed did at his first birthday party, and some of the places I found to buy unique Baby Einstein birthday decorations.

Planning The Party

The first thing I would do is set a budget. Set your budget and do not go over it. No matter how much you may want just one extra thing, sticking to your budget is very important. Once you have that magic number it is time to decide how many people you want to invite. Once your list is made you can then decide how much money is going to different things. To make planning easier, divide this up into categories such as:

Food

Beverages

Decorations

Games

Goodie Bags

Gifts

Once you know about how many people you should be expecting and the amount of food and drinks you will need to purchase to accommodate your guests you can now go on to the fun part which is finding the decorations and planning your days activities and prizes

Buying The Decorations

There are several places you can get Baby Einstein theme decorations. The cheapest place is Wal-Mart, however Wal-Mart doesn’t have a very broad selection of decorations. You can get your plates, cups and napkins there, which will save you some money. The best place I have found that offers lots of Baby Einstein items is www.firstwishes.com . First Wishes is a division of Birthday Express which also has a huge selection of Baby Einstein decorations. You can buy anything from deluxe party packages which is basically all the items you need in one box, to individual selections such as a personalized banner or pinata. I have searched the internet far and wide and www.birthdayexpress.com is the only website that offers a Baby Einstein pull string pinata, personalized banner and favor boxes opposed to favor bags. Both Birthday Express and First Wishes are somewhat pricey but I would highly recommend them if you have the means within your budget.

Games and Activities

When you are planning to entertain small children you need to have a plan devised to keep them busy. For one activity think about doing crafts. Notify the Moms before the party so you may enlist their help and they may dress their children accordingly. Baby Einstein makes a hand print kit where you can have every child make their own hand print. Other crafts that are easy and mess-free are Foamies. You can find Foamies in just about every craft store. I would recommend the pre-stick Foamies for an even easier experience.

You may also consider renting some activities for the kids. Many places all around the world have Moon Jump rentals also known as bounce house rentals. Depending on the size of these jumpers you can rent them from 4 to 8 hours for about $100 to $350 a day. I personally had one for my sons party and he loved it! He crawled around for hours in it, and I found one in primary colors to match the theme.

Preparing For The Big Day

A few weeks in advance you need to make time to send out the invitations. After this part is done make sure that you have last minute items completed. Ask yourself these questions:

Have I ordered balloons?

Do I have condiments and extra plates?

Do I have more than enough grab bags for all children?

Do I have enough film or disposable cameras?

A few days before the special event, begin to pack and label all your decorations, utensils and party favors. Having these items packed according to what they are will make decorating the day of easier. If you are doing grab bags for the kids make sure to put these together ahead of time as putting them together can be time consuming.

The night before pack everything into your car. Make sure that you bring your play yard and high chair. Baby may need a quick nap during the party and the high chair is a necessity for when baby gets to dig into his/her “smash cake”. And don’t forget to bring babies presents!

If you have two vehicles at your disposal you may want to take both to the party. Your child is sure to be spoiled on their first birthday and there’s not telling if you will have enough room in your vehicle to get everything back home.

The Big Day!

Remember to take plenty of pictures. Encourage Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents to get a lot of photographs. You will be the party liaison, and won’t have much time to think about these things. You may want to schedule cake last, as your child will become covered in ice cream and cake. You don’t want to break the flow of the party by stopping all the fun to shower your little one. Most importantly remember to have fun, take a breath and truly enjoy your child’s day. It’s a lot of planning for such a brief amount of time, but believe me it’s well worth it!

Your young lad may not understand anything that he witnesses at that age, but it will surely open up the doors of his mind and he will get to slowly take in everything little by little and this is only the beginning where the decorations of different colors will definitely catch his fancy and leave him amused but just make sure that face paint Singapore design is not involved as that might frighten him into silence and that could be disastrous to his health.

Presto 08800 Pro Eversharp Electric Knife Sharpener Review

March 17, 2020June 19, 2020

The Presto 08800 Pro Eversharp Electric Knife Sharpener is the best of all the sharpeners that I ever had. This gives the best result among the electrically powered sharpener and the knives are really sharp. To be honest, I still use conventional stones for final touches. Only that gives me the satisfaction and the desired results. No amount of technological sophistication can replace the sharpness that is delivered by grinding stones. But the effort that goes into while using a stone is the only reason that prompted me to go for an electrical device.

The Presto 08800 Pro Eversharp Electric Knife Sharpener gives a fairly sharp-edged knife and not razor sharp as claimed by the makers. I would rate it as the best for household purposes. You can get this electrical knife sharpener online from knifedge.net along with that you will find tons of offers and tips that you can follow in order to keep the edge of your knife sharp for a longer time.

This facilitates you to cut and chop the stuff in the kitchen with professional accuracy. It is sickening to handle a blunt knife and I am sure that this sharpener will never disappoint you in that aspect. The thing does not make your knife sharp like that used by surgeons or the butchers used in the mutton stall. Anyway, you do not require such pointed knives in the kitchen. In a way, it is good because it is not advisable to have such piercing sharp knives in the kitchen.

The main highlight of this gizmo is that you get the work done instantly. Unlike the conventional stones, you do not have to sit and sweat mechanically grinding them. The Eversharp Electric Knife Sharpener keeps the knife sharp for at least 4 weeks. This is fair enough. This makes me liberated because; I don’t have to keep waiting for my husband to return from the office to run the knife in a stone. There is no doubt that this makes life and cookery easy. I am glad that the knife is totally under my control and it does what exactly it is supposed to do. This does not squash or mush in place of slice and split.

The superior sapphire sharpening wheels are the ones that differentiate this model in terms of efficiency from their counterparts. Though the wheel vibrates, it is tolerable. This can sharpen a knife of any age. I tried our traditional knife that was passed on to me by my grandmother and was surprised by the results. At $29 it is a steal. This operates by a two-phase mechanism to ensure incredible sharpness. The sharpened knife is honed in the final stage. This filing and polishing make it brilliant. This is ergonomically designed such that the guides involuntarily facilitate you to position the knife at a precise angle. It can also be used for honing serrated knives.

Five Ways to Prevent Wallet Theft While Shopping

March 17, 2020March 24, 2020

It seems that no matter how much the authorities advise people to guard their belongings while shopping, supermarket customers are still frequently targeted in wallet/credit card theft. With the economy in turmoil, thieves—some of whom look like nothing you’d expect—are literally crawling out of the woodwork. Like you, they are searching for ways to make ends meet. The slim minimalist wallet will fit in the pockets of the pants and reduces the chances of being stolen. It will keep the money and necessary documents of the person safe.

Unfortunately, they are attempting to do so by getting their hands on your hard-earned dollars. Though it may seem self-explanatory, there are ways to avoid becoming the unwitting victim of wallet thieves. Just take a few simple precautions…

#1 – Ditch the handbag altogether.

For the most part, you only need a few items when you visit the grocery store. That being said avoid carrying a purse altogether; put cash, shopping cards, credit cards and keys in your pocket(s) or somewhere else on your person. You’ll not only have more room to move around. But you won’t have to worry about keeping an eye on your belongings.

#2 – Don’t put your purse in the “Steal-Me” position of the shopping cart.

While this piece of advice may seem elementary, you would be amazed by the number of people who place their keys, wallets, and open purses in the child-seat section of the shopping cart. We automatically assume that by keeping these items immediately in front of us, that they will be relatively safe. However, it only takes a few seconds for your attention to be shifted away from the shopping cart. And in those few seconds, your wallet can be history. If you absolutely must carry a purse, place it inside the cart-as far back as it will go; layer/stack your groceries in front of the bag. In this position, it will be much more awkward for a criminal to steal it.

#3 – Designate a “Grocery Store Purse.”

I have what I like to call a “supermarket purse”: one that I wear for more extensive grocery store trips, to help me avoid setting it down carelessly. Your own supermarket bag choice should be relatively small, with a long strap so that you can wear it across your chest and close to the body. The concept should be the same as the “fanny pack”: a bag that holds only your essentials. This is yet another way to avoid having your belongings pocketed by sneaky thieves.

#4 – Keep to a strict shopping list.

Supermarket thieves are hoping that you won’t be paying much attention to them. They’re counting on you to direct your concentration to the tedious task of procuring your household provisions. That being said, if you’re merely wandering from aisle to aisle in your own little world, you might be identifying yourself as an easy target. Remain focused on your list, moving steadily from aisle to aisle. A steady and determined pace very often keeps potential criminals at bay.

#5 – Avoid Supermarket Crowds.

Depending upon the area you live in, there may be days (or times of day) when grocery stores are more crowded than ever. Some markets are literally packed on Sundays, when families are gearing up for the week. Others are crowded on Wednesday or Thursday nights, when household staples begin to run thin. And of course, the time of day will often dictate how many shoppers are in the store.

Shop during more “deserted” store hours, and you will discover more room in the aisles. The fewer people in the aisle, the more difficult it is for criminals to set up elaborate pick-pocketing maneuvers. Additionally, a benefit to shopping late at night (or early morning) is that there is often increased security both inside and outside of the store.
