Pressing Wedding Dresses

The wedding day is almost here, you have received your wedding gown that you have ordered for, but because of the wrapping it presents some annoying wrinkles that are visible and you want your dress to look impeccable, so what is there to do? The material of your attire is mainly silk and nylon tulle and due to their delicate aspect you are afraid to try pressing wedding dress all by yourself. You need the assistance of a person who can guide you through the process, but unfortunately your mother has always given her laundry to the professionals of cleaning and ironing, so you are left with the only option to do the same.
In the phone directory you find some services that can do this in an emergency regime, as you have previously told them that there are only two days left till your wedding day. But you are somehow surprised to find out that their charge is too much that you can afford to pay. A friend of yours advice you to try searching on the internet sites, as everything one needs to know in different fields can be easily found. So, why not give it a shot? And you consider yourself lucky to find out that some sites actually give tips for pressing wedding dresses and they even include advices on different types of material that needs to be pressed. On the same sites you find out that there are some materials that can not be pressed, the only way to un-wrinkle them being the steaming.

In this respect you will have to take out the water from your ironing machine, since the water in there could spill out and leave spots on your wedding attire. Next you will need to have ready the following: an iron, a plush towel, a bottle with spritzel which you fill up with water, some tissue paper and some pins as well. And there you start; the guide says that you need to begin with the bodice of your dress and since it presents some sequined decoration you have to turn it inside out pressing the bodice on the inside against a plush towel that is placed on the surface of the ironing board.
Now you are advised to move on to the sleeves; your wedding gown does have sleeves so you will need to thoroughly press one by one after you have slipped your hand covered with a mitt inside the space of the sleeve. After finishing this chapter the guide tells you to stuff some tissue paper inside the sleeves to prevent them from wrinkling again. For the train you must begin at the sides of the seam encircling all the way to the front till you reach the waist line and down to the hem. Then you will need to pin two ribbon loopers which will help you hang the length of the train on a hanger.
In order to keep your wedding gown away from being wrinkled again you have to hang it somewhere at a higher point, such as the top of the door finding room both for the upper part of the dress and the train that hangs on another hanger.  Now you are more relieved to see that your wedding dress is ready to be worn for your wedding event and you can not feel other than proud to have done a good job in rendering your attire the impeccable aspect you’ve been looking for!

Simple Cheap Wedding Dresses

Your style of life has always moved within the features of a simplicity that wasn’t necessary the result of money saving wish, but because you and your future hubby are those kind of persons to consider life in its simplest aspects. You see around you peers from your family, or close friends that sometimes make their life miserable only for the reason of complicating situations that otherwise weren’t worthy to be minded. As new comers in the world of wedding planning, you attempt to approach the problem in the simplest way possible, and thus you both come up with the idea of having an intimate wedding where your families and closest friends should attend to.
You even consider the theme of the wedding as being the “Cinderella” one, with you as the main character (ok, not wearing an ashes stained wedding gown, but a simple cheap wedding dress) and your husband being the prince that kneels in front of you with everybody witnessing and handing you over not the shoe, but the simplest wedding ring ever. As a contrast to your gown you stage to have two bridesmaids personifying the two step-sisters wearing ball gowns not that elaborate but anyway more sophisticated than your simple cheap wedding dress.
simple cheap wedding dresses 230x300 Simple Cheap Wedding Dresses
The idea appeals to your husband as well and even your friends are enthusiastic about the opportunity to wear on your wedding occasion the ball dresses they had last worn at their prom ball. So one evening you organize with your friends the hunting for the Cinderella gown, but you aren’t able to find something to match the image of that simple girl who was chosen to try on the shoe brought by the prince. The gowns displayed on different sites present only dresses that fit mostly to the image of a Cinderella attending to the royal ball.

You are looking for something that leaves aside the choices of rich fabrics, such as silk, tulle, chiffon or other classic wedding gown materials. You have a pretty picture in your mind of the outfit you want to wear; something that is made out of very thin cotton, or even linen with some colored ribbons sewn to outline the hems of the dress, one for the round neckline, one for the cut of the shoulders, and for the bottom skirt’s hem. You would like also a ribbon sewn to outline the top of the skirt that goes from under your breast in a slightly loose material till it reaches your ankles.
Being unsatisfied with your research, you plan to go shopping and finally buy the thin white cotton fabric and the burgundy colored slim ribbon and reach home with a smile of content on your face. Then you start sketching the dress of your Cinderella themed wedding and look for the tailor to have it made. Beside the fact that you got something that you wanted you have indeed saved some money; money that you can spend for instance, on thefresh flowers of your wedding event. And you think that it doesn’t matter what you actually wear so long as love is the only thing that binds your romance and continues it through the act of the holy marriage.

How Does The Body Make Blood?


If blood didn’t circulate through our bodies, carrying oxygen and nutrients, we wouldn’t be able to live. Blood is so important to life that the body constantly makes new blood.
To do this, the body must produce the liquid part of blood, called plasma, and the cells that float in it. Plasma is made mostly of water and salts that we absorb through our digestive tracts every day. Its job is to deliver nutrients and water throughout the body.
Ninety-nine percent of the blood cells floating in plasma are red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and give blood its red color. The average life of a red blood cell is four months.panda dress weddings
What Happens After That?
The spleen continuously destroys millions of old red blood cells, recycling the iron to make new red cells. White blood cells, which are part of the immune system, and platelets, which help with blood clotting at a site of injury, also float in plasma. They have much shorter life spans than red cells and also are replaced continuously.
If you’ve ever seen a bone cut crosswise, with soft tissue called marrow inside, then you’ve seen where blood cells are made. Bone marrow contains special blood cells, which constantly divide to produce new cells to replace the ones that have been destroyed. Why all this bloody business in the bone marrow? The body’s process of forming new blood cells helps you recover if you lose blood to an injury, and it also helps blood perform its many functions despite cell damage and loss.

brave breath

 
  One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.
        Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage.”
     “What’s courage?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
     “Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.
     “Mum, do you have courage?”
     “Certainly. cheap wedding accessories
       The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”
       After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold palms, the little girl clenched her fists nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she strode out of the bedroom toward the bathroom with nothing to fear.
       Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of “breath” to me, which I can grip in my hands too when I feel frightened, lost or depressed.”
       In fact, on most occasions, what we are frightened of is nothing but the fear that we fabricate. Who we should defeat is nobody but ourselves.

The Wisdom of TODAY----Eric Tordan


we often wish for more ,
without realizing that life's most precious treasures,
are often within the palms of our hands.


It is not success,
but rather the journey there,
that often makes our lives complete.


We are most at peace with the world ,
when we accept the wonderful and amazing creature,brand bride...
that is ...ourselves.


When we give our all TODAY;
and look forward to giving tomorrow the same,
then there is no reason for regretting our Yesterdays.


Despise not the past,
for in it lies the wisdom of today,
and the hope of tomorrow.

You Are My Life


 There was a boy who was sent to a boarding school[寄宿学校]. He used to be the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. But things changed after that. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. He felt worthless and that no one loved him.      His parents began to worry. But even they did not know what was wrong. So his dad decided to visit the school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school.

The Grace of Appreciation

Given a little sunshine, a bud in the shadow will come out; with a gust of wind, a small hand can make a kite fly. Have you met someone who understand you, appreciate you and trust you? Have you met someone who use kindness and belief to rekindle the fire in your heart? 

At some point of our life, we need someone to encourage us, to reassure us, to help us rebuild our confidence. It doesn’t take a big person to do that. When Dale Carnegie was nine years old, his father remarried. Dale’s father introduced Dale to his stepmother, “Be careful of him. He is the worst boy in the county. He may throw a stone to you or do other bad things out of your imagination. 2013 bridal trends!”
 

Out of Dale’s expectation, his stepmother walked to him, held his head, looked at his eyes, smiled, “You are wrong. He is not the worst boy in the county, but the smartest. He is the boy who hasn’t found where to use his passion.” Dale burst into tears. 



Because of this word, Dale Carnegie built a beautiful relationship with his stepmother; because of this word, Dale Carnegie was motivated to be good and successful; because of this word, Dale Carnegie helped the other people step onto the path of success. 

It is a grace to meet someone who appreciates you. You should cherish that person who believes in you even before you believe in yourself.

What I Have Lived For


Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. 

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, bridal shop, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.


This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

Being A Mother

    

    A woman will not be a complete one if she isn’t a mother.’ A somebody has said. Now I’m experiencing the differency between being a daughter and being a mother. Not until now have I really known the selfishness and greatness of a parent.
    People are growing maturer and maturer from the time they plan to have a baby. Since then, we are doing the same thing that we got, are getting and will get from our parents. The coming baby is taken into consideration when the parent wants to do something. We can not do whatever we like as before. bridal shop. For example, smoking and drinking alcohol are forbidden if you want to have a healthy baby. It isn’t so simple, of course. We have other dos and don’ts besides the above things. Can you control your desire and resist the temptation? 
    Then, it goes to the time of pregrancy. It’s not a short time, and we’ll have more taboos. In addition, we should do something good for the growth of the baby, the nutrition, for instance. 
    After a ten-month wait, you finally welcome the birth of the baby. That day is important for you because it’s your baby’s birthday. You’ll have more obligations and much burden from that moment. The process of producing a baby is more than words can describe. Before the baby comes out, the anxiety and uncertainty will torture you a lot. It’s a great relief to hear the crying of the baby and know that he/ she is safe.
    In a word, as you’re bringing up your own child and sacrificing your leisure time and other things, you’ll understand your ageing parents and love them more.

Facing internal enemies

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum, let it slide. I’ll just drift along.” Here’s one problem with drifting: you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there’s room for healthy skepticism. You can’t believe everything. But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I’m telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry. We’ve all got to worry some. Just don’t let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb formal cocktail dresses in New York City and a taxi is coming, you’ve got to worry. But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you’ve got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it’s an illness. If you let it go, it’ll conquer you. Timid people don’t get promoted. They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You’ve got to avoid overcaution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what’s holding you back, what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

To cheer myself up : 12 sentence you should talk to yourself


1. I am following my heart and intuition.
Each of us has a fire in our hearts burning for something. It's our responsibility in life to find it and keep it lit. This is your life, and it's a short one. Don't let others extinguish your flame. Try what you want to try. Go where you want to go. Follow your own intuition. Dream with your eyes open until you know exactly what it looks like. Then do at least one thing every day to make it a reality.

And as you strive to achieve your goals, you can count on there being some fairly substantial disappointments along the way. Don't get discouraged, the road to your dreams may not be an easy one. Think of these disappointments as challenges–tests of persistence and courage. At the end of the road, more often than not, we regret what we didn't do far more than what we did.

2. I am proud of myself.
You are your own best friend and your own biggest critic. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Accept everything about yourself–EVERYTHING!You are you and that is the beginning and the end–no apologies, no regrets.

People who are proud of themselves tend to have passions in life, feel content and set good examples for others. It requires envisioning the person you would like to become and making your best efforts to grow.

Being proud isn't bragging about how great you are;it's more like quietly knowing that you're worth a lot. It's not about thinking you're perfect–because nobody is–but knowing that you're worthy of being loved and accepted. All you have to do is be yourself and live the story that no one else can live–the story of your own unique life. Be proud, be confident, you never know who has been looking at you wishing they were you.

3. I am making a difference.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

Is it true that we all live to serve?That by helping others we fulfill our own destiny?The answer is a simple‘yes. 'When you make a positive impact in someone else's life, you also make a positive impact in your own life. Do something that's greater than you–something that helps someone else to be happy or to suffer less.


You are only one, but you are one. You cannot do everything, but you can do something. Smile and enjoy the fact that you made a difference–one you'll likely remember forever.

4. I am happy and grateful.
Happiness is within you, in your way of thinking. How you view yourself and your world are mindful choices and habits. The lens you choose to view everything through determines how you feel about yourself and everything that happens around you.

Being grateful will always make you happy. If you're finding it hard to be grateful for anything, sit down close your eyes and take a long slow breath and be grateful for oxygen. Every breath you take is in sync with someone's last.

5. I am growing in to the best version of me.
Judy Garland once said, "Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else. " Live by this statement. There is no such thing as living in someone else's short bridesmaid dress, The only shoes you can occupy are your own. If you aren't being yourself, you aren't truly living–you're merely existing.

Remember, trying to be anyone else is a waste of the person you are. Embrace that individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else. Be the person you know yourself to be–the best version of you–on your terms. Improve continuously, take care of your body and health, and surround yourself with positivity. Become the best version of you.

6. I am making my time count.
Time is the most valuable constituent of life. Make the time for what does matter today. Really being in the moment, finding passion in your life, seeing the world and traveling, or just seeing the world that's around you right now, being with great people, doing amazing things, eating amazing food and savoring life's little pleasures.

Remember, your time is priceless, but it's free. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can spend it, but you can't keep it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back. You really do only have a short period to live. So let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words. Make your time count!


7. I am honest with myself.
Be honest about what's right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest about what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest with every aspect of your life, always. Because you are the one person you can forever count on.

Search your soul, for the truth, so that you truly know who you are. Once you do, you'll have a better understanding of where you are now and how you got here, and you'll be better equipped to identify where you want to go and how to get there.

8. I am good to those I care about.
In human relationships distance is not measured in miles, but in affection. Two people can be right next to each other, yet miles apart. So don't ignore someone you care about, because lack of concern hurts more than angry words. Stay in touch with those who matter to you. Not because it's convenient, but because they're worth the extra effort.

When was the last time you told your family and close personal friends that you loved them? Just spending a little time with someone shows that you care, shows that they are important enough that you've chosen—out of all the things to do on your busy schedule—to find the time for them. Talk to them. Listen to them. Understand them.

9. I know what unconditional love feels like.
Whether your love is towards a child, a lover, or another family member, know the feeling of giving love and not expecting anything in return–this is what lies at the heart of unconditional love. Life through unconditional love is a wondrous adventure that excites the very core of our being and lights our path with delight. This love is a dynamic and powerful energy that lifts us through the most difficult times.

Love is beautiful and unpredictable. It begins with ourselves, for without self-love, we cannot know what true love can be. In loving ourselves, we allow the feeling to generate within us and then we can share it to everyone and everything around us. When you love unconditionally, it isn't because the person you love is perfect, it's because you learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.

10. I have forgiven those who once hurt me.
We've all been hurt by another person at some point or another–we were treated badly, trust was broken, hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain lingers for too long. We relive the pain over and over, letting them live rent-free in our head and we have a hard time letting go.

Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, it causes us to miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.

11. I take full accountability for my life.
Own your choices and mistakes, and be willing to take the necessary steps to improve upon them. Either you take accountability for your life or someone else will. And when they do, you'll become a slave to their ideas and dreams instead of a pioneer of your own.

You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life. And no, it won't always be easy. Every person has a stack of obstacles in front of them. But you must take accountability for your situation and overcome these obstacles. Choosing not to is choosing a lifetime of mere existence.

12. I have no regrets.
This one is simply a culmination of the previous eleven…

Follow your heart. Be true to yourself. Do what makes you happy. Be with who makes you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live. Say what you need to say. Offer a helping hand when you're able. Appreciate all the things you do have. Smile. Celebrate your small victories. Learn from your mistakes. Realize that everything is a lesson in disguise. Forgive. And let go of the things you can't control.
