5 Ways To Keep Warm In Winter
by: Janice Wee
The movie The Day After Tomorrow. Where everyone was facing an ice age ahead, with temperatures so cold your blood could freeze instantly.
The main characters in the story were hiding in a library. Wise move. You wouldn't run out of things to burn in a library that is full of books. In their effort to stay warm, they kept their fireplace ablaze by burning library books, feeding the fire continually for that much needed warmth.
A homeless guy who had to survive winter in the streets crushed up paper and stuffed his clothes with them for insulation. One of the key ways to stay warm in winter is to insulate your clothing. That way, you keep the warmth in and the cold out. Crushing the paper trapped air. Air is a great insulator of heat. So that made a lot of sense.
Here are 5 tips to help you fight the cold.
#1 Generate heat.
To generate heat, most modern homes have a proper heating system. Just make sure you pay your heating bills. If you can't pay the bills, get your bills paid on your behalf. For example, if you are a U.S. resident, you can get free heating at http://www.cheapestsale.com/free-heating.html
If you use an old fashion log fireplace, stock up on plenty of firewood in case you get snowed in.
#2 Layer your clothing
Wear layers of clothing to keep warm. Start off with a base layer. The thermal underwear which you can find at http://www.buy-underwear.net/thermal-underwear.htm . Ideally, your thermal underwear should fit like second skin. The goal is to keep your body heat in. Pure cotton thermal underwear would probably work if the temperature is above 5 degrees celsius. Colder than that and you need something much warmer. Like merino wool. You'll find warm merino socks and other clothes that contain merino wool at http://www.buyclothing.net/merino-wool.htm . Try a base layer that is suitable for snow sports, like the Duofold Insulayer thermal underwear you'll find at http://www.buy-underwear.net/Duofold-Insulayer.htm which has 2 layers of fabric that trap air between the layers, for added insulation.
On top of the thermal underwear, you might want to wear a wool sweater and thick denim jeans or wool pants. You can find denim jeans at http://www.buy-pants.com/jeans/ . You might want to add on a warm jacket or even a trenchcoat over the sweater. These warm fleece sweatshirts found at http://www.buy-t-shirts.net/sweaters/Comfort-Colors-Men-Sweatshirts.htm feel divine. If you want a good looking wool coat, check out the belted wool coats at http://www.buy-jackets.com/belted-wool-coats.htm . Depending on the severity of cold you might face, you might want to add more layers. Don't forget your gloves , scarve,woolen hat, ear muffs and boots. If it is really very cold, you might even need a ski mask.
#3 Drink warming liquids
Drinking a cup of ginger tea helps you body fight the cold too. Drinking plenty of hot soup at meals warms up the body beautifully.
#4 Bring a warm shawl
Carry along a cashmere throw, or at least a wool wrap with you so you can wrap that around you when you need additional warmth. Here is where you can find cashmere throws and cashmere clothing. http://www.buyclothing.net/cashmere.htm
#5 Keep one another warm
Finally, huddle up close to a loved warm so you can keep each other warm. That's how our ancestors survived the cold winters when they lived in caves. They would huddle close together near the fire to keep warm.

No Hunny, You Look Great
No Hunny, You Look Great
by: Tyler Brooker
"Am I fat?" Don't even start with me. I thought that dreadful lose-lose question was a part of history! "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" - "No hunny, your butt makes those pants look big". Why do women still insist on puting men in this ridiculus situation? And it isn't as though we can just say "I refuse to answer", because then you came up with "Geez, you don't even care about how i feel". Wow.
Look ladies, guys arent the only ones with eyes. You know just as well as us if something makes your butt look fat. This is me, making a request for all guys out there - DON'T ASK US THAT! Instead, try something like "aw, I'm fat", so that we can come back and tell you that you are not. This way, everyone wins. Your happy, we're happy, and the divorce rate drops 10 fold.
Moving right along. Ladies, if you are overweight, do something! don't complain, just get rid of the excess. There are tons and...

How to put together a wardrobe using blue color to take you through work, play and romance
by: Janice Wee
Imagine a wardrobe where everything you have goes with everything else.
Actually, if everything is black, you know, your bag is black, your dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes are all black, then everything would go with everything else. That is the trick some chic travellers use. All black wardrobe for a holiday in the city and an all white wardrobe for a holiday by the beach. But that would be really boring.
Instead of basing your entire wardrobe on black, you could base it on a versatile color. Blue comes to mind right away.
After all, blue is a great color for the office. That dark blue outfit gives you an air of authority. Blue is a very professional color.
Although blue tends to be associated with boys, women do look great in blue too. If you look great in blue, you could give it a feminine touch with pink accents. Blue...

Making Your Baby?s Clothes Last!
Making Your Baby?s Clothes Last!
by: Kirsten Hawkins
As any mother with a young child will tell you, babies grow very quickly. So for new mothers, making the most out of baby clothes is of the utmost importance. So what do you do when those onesies just don't quite snap anymore? How do you get an extra month out of those jeans that are a little too short for the winter months?
The great thing about onesies, is that they're a very workable cotton fabric, and there really isn't any hemming necessary to turn a couple of onesies that fit at five months into a couple of shirts that fit at eight months. Simply cut them off right at the leg holes, and gently pull the material around the edges so that it rolls a tiny bit. This way there are no exposed threads for baby to pull at or chew on. The same can apply to footsie pajamas. By simply snipping off the feet, you can easily get another month's wear out of the sleepwear.

Pitfalls of Casual Friday
Pitfalls of Casual Friday
by: Mary Arnold
Imagine this: You walk into a prominent, international business office, up to the receptionist's desk - and you see she's wearing flip-flops and blue jeans with holes in them. How do you react to this? I bet your opinion of that business just dropped quite a few notches, right?
Do you think this is an extreme example of some people's taking Casual Friday too far? Do you think it would never happen in your office?
My husband didn't think so - until it did happen in the office of his place of employment, an international, very prosperous company.
He's told me several stories of the inappropriate attire the receptionist has worn to work on Casual Friday over the years such as the aforementioned flip-flops and ripped blue jeans. Also she's shown up wearing a feather boa, tight T-shirts, shorts (during the summer), and miniskirts, among other unacceptable items of clothing.
And it's not...

It?s not always easy finding the right pair of jeans.
There are just too many styles to choose from.
By keeping some of these tips in mind you can find that perfect pair of jeans.
Some useful hints include:
? Before deciding on which pair of jeans to wear, it?s imperative to choose the type of shoes you?ll be sporting.
