After the Diamond Engagement Ring

After my incredible trip to the dangerous mountain range, I went back several times to that cave where I found that magnificent diamond. I made diamond earrings, diamond bracelets, diamond engagement rings, diamond necklaces, and many more custom jewelry items. It was great. Everyone marveled at my ability to find the best diamonds in the world and turn them into the best fashion accessories that Riverside has ever seen. The Inland Empire is not known for its high class jewelry but they are now thanks to my and my family’s custom designed jewelry set near the Mission Inn. It’s truly a blessing and one that I will cherish as long as I’m alive to see the smiling facing of those about to present their purchased jewelry to someone special to them.

There are special custom diamond brokers that are around that we do business with as well but now many of them come to us. We are a full set diamond and specialized jewelry designers that cater to only the most discriminating of folks in Riverside. Now, that in no way means that we don’t sell to common folk, as we do plenty of times. We have the best jewelry and believe that no one should be denied a special diamond custom engagement ring just because they don’t have much in the way of extra capital.

Getting Rid of Cellulite?

I have tried so many things to help get rid of my cellulite and nothing seems to be working. I ask myself, what is cellulite, and I realized that I don’t have a clue. I am all about educating oneself on any and all subjects of interest so it shocked me to come to the realization that I didn’t have the foggiest idea just what cellulite was. Do I have it because my mother had it? Or is it something that only overweight people have? I will start doing some research into this because I feel that if I know what caused it I can be better equipped to get rid of it.

I was looking at myself the other day in the mirror at the huge amounts of cellulite that plague my thighs and I got to wondering. What is cellulite and why do I have it? Is it something that is hereditary? Or is it just something that I have because I am overweight? I am going crazy not knowing why I have this problem so I am going to be doing some heavy duty research on the internet this weekend to try and come up with some answers. Maybe if I know why I have this problem I can fix it easier.

You Must Embrace Life!

—————————
EMBRACE LIFE
—————————

Life, the mystery of our being is to befriended, tamed and mastered
as much as we possibly can. This trinity action is necessary to alleviate
our suffering. One axiom goes thus: “Life deals severe blows to
those who make it their enemy.” Life is very purposeful so you too
should be very purposeful and wise in dealing with it.

Listen, in this game of life there is no fairness. Life will continuously
conjure and spring all sorts of tricks, to weary and wear you down and
out to lessen its load. Life considers you as a burden to be jettisoned at
any given opportunity. That is why you meet obstacles in our progress
in life.

You can now see why you must face life with wisdom so that you can
take its hiccups by your strides, cheerfully surmounting the obstacles
or at least knowing that you are not bound to carry life’s obstacles,
that you can as well ride them till they fade. But many of us play into life’s
hands by giving in to desperation, frustration and depression,

They foolishly hand life the trinity of their undoing. Some even reject
themselves, condemning and accepting to be condemned by others
whose expectations they supposedly do not live up to.
But the truth is that you are unique, a creature of purpose, instead of
sentiment. That purpose is inherent in life, embrace it. Learn to beat
life’s tricks and vicissitudes by not allowing yourself to degenerate
into self-pity or self-hate, despair or depression or frustration. All are shameful
vehicles to premature exit from here.

Listen now, and believe me! YOU HAVE NEVER FAILED. Life
has been consistently disappointing you, trying very hard to will you to
accept yourself as a failure.

Life can be so mean, to the extent of employing other people, too, to
make you, through advises and gossips, feel that you have failed and
are no good, fit only for the grave.

But wisdom, your friend from the source of life, demands that you do
not cooperate in engineering your own failure. To fall is not to fail.
There is no shame in falling, but there is courage and the grace that
comes with getting up and carrying on. After all, life has goodies
too, which it doles out from time to time.
But, you know what?

Depressed self loathers seldom are recipients of life’s goodies, because
life in spite of its meanness, likes a cheerful spirit. And even when life
goes out of its way to dole out any goodies to the depressed, what good
is it when the depressed cannot enjoy anything with their botched minds.

Now, enjoy the below poem and think about yourself positively. You are
unique, you may not be a Thomas Edison, but you have got so much to offer
the world. You are here for a laudable purpose, don’t let life cheat you out
so soon, unfulfilled.

—————————–
BECAUSE IT IS A RED LETER DAY
—————————–

So it turns out a red letter day, ungainly futile and you frown at green thoughts that failed to yield.Your unhappiness fuels hopelessness, and your heart is heavy and aches, because it is a red letter day.

Your wish is wasted on life’s whims and caprices, and so you want your neck in a rope, to pass into nothingness, better than even a sweet day of clean swift achievements, which desires can’t ensure, because it is a red letter day.

Oh! Like the perilous sea is the day; what it throws up you must manage, but unlike in the perilous sea, you can stay afloat.
The night is nigh and the day must close, even on a red letter day.

And morning will surely come with a virgin day defiled, by desires, ladders to summits and, perhaps, a green letter day for you, oh my friend. Stay alive, swim, and don’t sink even on a red letter day.

There are countless proofs that we become our own worst enemy
when we give in to self doubt, despair and depression. Listen well,
my dear friend, don’t carry your situations, ride them till they fade.
Nothing is worth your sadness, you are better than you think.
Don’t ever feel superstitious or hopeless. Have set goals to feed
your hope. Hope is your seat in life. Work your goals to tend your hope.
Believe in both life and yourself. Remember, never
condemn yourself or accept condemnation by other people.

Thomas Edison said: “I never did anything worth doing by accident,
nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.”
But do you know that before Edison achieved any of his inventions
he failed thousands of times? (Experiments)

Patience and self confidence are the twin vehicles that will carry you
to your goals. Edison did not allow his disappointments or failures or
what people said to depress him and rob him of his universal purpose.
How did he do that?

He believed in life and himself. He neither condemned
himself nor did he accept other people’s condemnations. He
never lost focus and, his hope, which he tended with work, persistent
work, came to fruition in many inventions. Above all He embraced life,
in spite of its vicissitudes and
the rest is now history.

So, you too should learn to embrace life and live it to the fullest, in spite
of its vicissitudes. Remember, you have NEVER failed. You may have
fallen a number of times, but even Edison did too. So, it is nothing new.
Success comes to those who persevere. Stay with it!

I am your true friend

How to be the Woman Every Man Wants

There is not a single woman on the face of the earth, with a healthy appetite for companionship, that doesn’t want to explore ways in which to invite men into their life for purposes of developing a loving relationship. Relationships are a curious thing in that we often find ourselves becoming someone other than ourselves in trying to manage the relationship. This internal game of musical hats so to speak, has most women suffering from an identity crisis without them even knowing it. They often react and perform inappropriately simply because they picked up the wrong hat at the wrong time. This having to wear different hats has many consumed in their own mind chatter and ridiculous reasoning that is largely influenced by all of the other hat wearing relationship authorities out there. So what’s a girl to do to get clear about this? How is she supposed to know how to act in order to achieve her desired outcome. Well, I have a few suggestions:

First get very clear (even in the smallest of circumstances) about how you would like the moment to unfold. For example, you and your companion are out to lunch and you feel the need to discuss an upcoming event that you would like for him to attend with you. Let’s say he has a history of resisting your suggestions in that he enjoys initiating your entertainment itinerary. Given his somewhat predictable tendency you need to acknowledge that disappointment is probable if you attempt this. This acknowledgement will lessen the sigh that is likely to occur. However, don’t stop trying. Just try something different. Rather than stating you would like to go to this event and requesting he accompany you, ASK QUESTIONS only? No statements. NO responses with the word “I” in it. For example, here is what I call the Respectful Scenario:

You: Do you like watching dance?
Him: Yeah. I guess. Depends on the kind of dance.
You: What about ballet?
Him: It’s a little fem but I guess its okay.
You: What about belly dancing?
Him: Yeah I guess its kind of cool.
You: Would you like to see me belly dance?
Him: Sure.
You: What about that kind of dancing where the Guys do all this athletic improvisational movement with garbage can lids and rhythm?
Him: Yeah, that sounds pretty neat.
You: If you had tickets, would you go?
Him: I guess.
You: Surprise! Here’s two tickets. WE have a date.

Typical Scenario:
You: Honey, I got 2 tickets to this dance thing called STOMP and its for Friday night. It’ll be a date.
Him: I’m not going to a dance thing, that’s lame. I already made plans for us to go to the movies.
You: We always do what you want. What about what I want?
Him: Lets don’t start that. Remember the chick flick I took you to?
You: That was four months ago. We’ve been doing the you show ever since.
AND SO IT GOES…

This conversation continues to de-evolve into the depths of sleeping in separate bedrooms and no one goes anywhere come Friday night.

Review as indicated in the Respectful Scenario:
1. Ask Questions?
2. Omit the word “I”
3. Inject flirtatious humor
4. Offer the gift of his approval

Now some may argue that this feels manipulative but for some men that are a little more machismo, this works well and they actually appreciate the respectful approach. Each one of us is unique and possesses a positive or negative polarity. Often this fluctuates periodically throughout the day but in some men the negative polarity is more pronounced. These men often attract women with a higher degree of positivity. It’s the law of nature and attraction. Given this, it’s really quite easy and even natural for a positive women to enlist this approach with a negative man…and succeed.

In fact, Positive Women OWN MORE HATS!

The Effects of Retin A for Acne Treatment

Much recent evidence points to the beneficial effects of Retin A in treating more serious cases of acne, as well as aged, sun-damaged skin and stretch marks. However, as with most prescription medications, there are potential adverse reactions that you should be aware of before you begin treatment.

Retin A, or tretinoin, is a derivative of vitamin A and is available in a variety of forms. Retin A cream is weaker than the gel as the medication is less able to penetrate the skin in cream form. It acts to unplug acne follicles and bring the pimple to the surface, as well as prevent new pimple formation.

Since one of the effects of Retin A cream applications is to extrude the pimple, it initially appears as if it is making the situation worse. As such dermatologists recommend that you give it time to work, sometimes up to a year or more for maximum Retin A results.

Although minor side effects of Retin A are quite common, they are usually mild and will subside within six to eight weeks. They may include unusual darkening of the skin, slight discoloration or redness. Slight peeling of the skin has also been reported in many cases as has swelling. You should avoid direct sunlight in the early stages of using Retin A, as it will dramatically increase your chances of sunburn.

Don’t let the adverse effects of Retin A discourage you from discussing this treatment regimen with your dermatologist; for serious cases, this can be the only remedy that works for you. Retin A results speak to the efficacy of this medication in getting severe acne breakouts under control.

If you have blemished skin you might want to try natural treatment options before you look into potent prescription applications. There are natural formulas with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can be as effective as a Retin A cream or gel.

There are many other treatment options for acne, from benzoyl peroxide OTC medications such as Clearasil, Oxy and Proactiv to oral drugs like Accutane and you should certainly check with a dermatologist to find out which is right for you. Retin A results are quite favorable as are those for some natural solutions, it’s just a matter of figuring out which is right for you.

David Bloom is an avid health enthusiast and a regular contributor to a variety of health websites. He is the author of Natural Acne Treatments and Effects of Retin A, a blog dedicated to the treatment of acne, covering conventional and natural remedies for clearing up blemished skin.

Essential Oils Storage - So That You Continue Benefiting For Years

The importance of storing your essential oils in a proper manner can be estimated from the fact that women in the 19th century would ask their jewelers to design special bottles to hold their perfumes and essential oils. Luxury apart, storing essential oils in specially designed bottles helped keep the therapeutic and aromatic properties of the essential oils intact.

It is common knowledge that most of the essential oils become contaminated or their effect gets weakened with time if they are not stored properly. Citrus oils are the most susceptible to early breakdown. They oxidize and begin to lose the aroma and therapeutic properties. The citrus oil becomes cloudy and a sweet fragrance is emitted. This signals towards the deterioration of the essential oil.

Same does not apply to oils such as frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli, and myrrh. They can be stored for a longer time. In fact, they improve with time. In the older times, Egyptians used to embalm the dead people with the essential oils of cedar wood, cinnamon etc. When one such tomb was opened in the early 20th century, traces of the oil were clearly visible.

Will you not like to keep your treasured essential oils in the same manner? Lifetime of the essential oil ranges from 6 months to several years. Through a proper storage, one can increase the shelf life of an essential oil. The following section provides lessons in storing essentials oils.

Dark amber, cobalt blue, or violet glass bottles are the best when it comes to storing essential oils. Sunlight can be very harmful for the essential oils. Ultraviolet rays, which are a part of the sunlight, weaken the essential oil. This explains the reason why it is not advisable to store essential oils in clear glass bottles. Sunlight easily passes through the clear glass bottle, thus producing reaction in the essential oil, and no longer rendering it effective.

Plastic bottles too must not be used as the plastic dissolves with the essential oil and thus is contaminated. One can use aluminum bottles to store the essential oil, but the inner surface of the container must be lined.

Your essential oils need to be kept away from sunlight as far as possible. High temperature can be harmful to the oil. Therefore, the place where the essential oil is stored must not be near any heater vent or any such heat-emitting gadget. Keeping the oil in a refrigerator can help increase its shelf life. Nevertheless, freezing is not acceptable. When cooled at very low temperatures, some essential oils will cloud. It regains its original state when brought to room temperature. Certain citrus oils continue to be cloudy even when brought to room temperature. However, this does not affect their therapeutic properties.

We tend to contaminate the essential oil in the process of using them. The following checklist will be helpful in preventing contamination:

• Never touch the top of the orifice reducer or the inside of the cap.

• Always use separate pipettes for separate oil.

• The pipettes must not be carriers of oxygen. When one uses the pipette for taking out the oil, a few drops of it remain in the pipette. This becomes contaminated when it comes in contact with oxygen outside. When the same pipette is used again, it contaminates the whole bottle.

The cap of the bottle containing essential oils must not be kept open for long. Since they are volatile, they will evaporate.

The cap of the bottle containing essential oil must be selected carefully. Rubber droppers have a tendency to turn into gum when they come in contact with the concentrated essential oil.

Keeping these points in mind, one can surely increase the shelf life of the essential oils. This might require a few extra efforts and might become expensive in some cases, but your treasured essential oils truly deserve this.
