Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - Writing a Formal RSVP

Whether it’s an invitation to a wedding, a shower or a dinner party, an invitation usually comes with an important obligation…RSVP!

RSVP comes from the French phrase "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If RSVP is written on an invitation it means that you must tell the host whether or not you plan to attend…no problem right? But what is the proper protocol when that familiar ‘fill in the blank’ reply card is not included?

Once upon a time, reply cards… Continue

Camellia Balm Is Oh So Sweet

I must confess that I had never heard of Camellia oil prior to receiving a collection of Julie Hewett Los Angeles makeup. So when I initially opened the package, my first reaction was “What’s this?” followed by “Why did she send this to me?” Now I can totally understand why anyone would want to pass the word about these Camellia oil products. My face loves drinking in the moisture of the Camellia Balm Pot, and it carries a glow long after applying the… Continue

A General Impression On Lingerie

The concept of lingerie being visually appealing was a development of the later nineteenth century. It is a common case with women to select underwear for three major purposes: to alter their shape, for reasons of hygiene, or for modesty. First they used to wear corsets and later girdles or bras. Women's underwear before the invention of the crinoline was often very large and bulky. As the 20th century progressed underwear became smaller and more form… Continue

The Answer is Right in Front of You...

So often I hear of the businesses that are down-sizing, right-sizing or simply closing because of the economy. "There just isn't enough business out there."

Hog wash...Now there may not be as much as business in the same places as there was two years ago, and some businesses will go under. For some the only reason they were OK before is that there was soooo much business even if you didn't provide a good return on investment, even if your service wasn't that great or your product was… Continue

Control Your Health

Health Paradigms

Even when we know we are doing the wrong thing, we keep doing it.

Even when we agree to change, we don’t follow through.

Even when we commit, to a program or plan, we may not follow the advice.

Why?

Don’t get mad or disappointed in yourself.

Do you think that if you only eat fewer calories you must lose weight?

"No" is the correct answer. Unfortunately "Yes" is too simple and easy. If that were true, all of us would have the bodies we want!

If you think that 2,000 calories from chicken breast, potatoes, and broccoli are equal to 2000 calories of doughnuts, Moon Pies, Oreo’s, Twinkies and Butter Cups, you are mistaken.

These foods metabolize very differently inside your body. The high sugar content in the fat infused foods will cause a sugar spike, which will result… Continue
