•Choosing Your Wedding Colours
One of the most important parts of your wedding is the colour scheme. You can begin to choose your theme with a few thoughts about the mood you would like to evoke. You probably already have a good idea in mind for your ideal wedding; imagine what it looks like. What words comes to mind when you describe it? Are you thinking of a contemporary and clean ceremony or one that is more classic and traditional? Perhaps you want something formal or ornate?
Tradition holds that two colours will be...

•Balloon Modeling
The art of shaping and twisting balloons into shapes and figures is called balloon modeling. There are a number of different shapes like hats and boats that can be made, but animals are the most popular. A talented “twister” can make just about anything. They have the talent for manipulating the balloons into just about any shape by bending, twisting and molding them. Because they often make tons of figures in just one sitting, twisters have taken to using other means, such as a pump, to...
•The Perfect Dinner Party

•Glaciers of Kilimanjaro
I recently acquired some old photos depicting Kilimanjaro from the 1920’s through to the 1960’s. Although the massif that is Kilimanjaro is easily recognisable in shape and size the dramatic decline in the glaciers is so apparent that the mountain is almost unrecognisable to what is was 80 years ago.
The glaciers have existed for around 12,000 years but it is estimated that they have decreased in size by approximately 82% since 1912. If they continue declining at such a rapid rate then...
•Fashion Shows of the World
The world’s major fashion capital’s may seem like a long way from our own high street purchases but have a lot more impact on what we wear, than you might realise. Designer’s collections are shown in September and February. In the September shows’, clothing that is modelled is a preview of what will be available for the following Spring / Summer, and clothing that is shown in February previews the Autumn / Winter collections of that year. These collections are then documented by the fashion...
•Detox Recipe s
December, Christmas and New Year have been and gone, and while January is the time when most people think of starting their resolutions, eating healthily, doing more exercise, getting more sleep and reading more, many psychology experts disagree.
“January is such a miserable month, it’s dark, it’s gloomy, there are debts and not much to look forward to, so I would postpone any dieting or fasting to start in February. In January you have bottles of wine and biscuits left over from Christmas,...
