Contacts As Referred To In Our Culture
There are countless movie scenes where the man and woman are on the floor searching for a lost contact lens. They meet under a table or their heads bang together or…It often ends with a kiss and them falling in love. Yawn. This scene has been way overworked.
Over 90% of all people who need vision correction choose contact lenses over glasses. Perhaps it is the comfort and convenience or maybe they are just planning to meet the mate of their dreams under some one’s dining room table.
Whatever the reason there are improvements and innovations in contact lenses beyond comprehension to the scientists who first developed the concept. You can leave many of them in place overnight or even for a two-week period. These are disposable which is really safer than sanitizing them each day. The risk of eye infections would be lessened. Very often someone would fall asleep with the older contacts in and wake up with dry eyes or worse. There was a recent recall of a certain brand of cleaning solution. When using anything in the eye extreme caution is needed. Although water is a liquid it cannot be used to soak your contacts in. No need to explore the scientific reasons for this just suffice it to say - don’t do it…
Contact lenses can now correct astigmatism and other serious conditions. Some of these could not previously be corrected by wearing glasses. They can serve other purposes as well. Years back when Elvis Presley played the role of a Native American in the movie Flaming Star. His blue eyes had to be disguised for obvious reasons. He adapted to contact lenses which changed his eye color to brown for the duration of the filming. This was back in 1960.
Another old movie named “How To Marry A Millionaire” showed one of the female characters played by Marilyn Monroe willing to walk around bumping in to walls rather than wear her glasses. The story goes that she coined the phrase “Men never make passes at girls who wear glasses.” This affected the opinion of many teen girls since Marilyn never had a shortage of men in her life. With restraint I’m not mentioning any names.
Movie stars and singers of today are using them simply to change eye color from one night to another. Some of the hand-painted contact lenses are bizarre. The wearer can literally put “stars” in her eyes for the evening. There are patterns that look like kaleidoscopes, and little Rubik’s Cubes among others. Harmless I suppose as long as they are approved by an ophthalmologist for each individual person’s use.
Many teens are eager to wear contact lenses. They need parental permission before they can have them prescribed though. There was a tv commercial a few years ago showing two girls fourteen to sixteen years old. They were discussing contacts. Girl one had them. Since girl two was her best friend, she wanted girl two to get them also. In the next scene a smiling girl two showed up with contacts. Her mother was a hero and her life was greatly enhanced.
The main concern for a young person is for them to be diligent about cleanliness and other care of their eyes and the contacts. It will be interesting to observe the changes we can expect within the next generation of the contact lens and the earliest age at which kids can begin to wear them. Its my fervent hope that sunglasses never go out of style. Hmmm will disposable sunglasses ever be invented…

What Is The Difference Between Strapping Machines And Packing Machines?
Strapping machines enable many items to be bundled securely together by way of a metal or plastic band. This band is then cinched tight by a ratcheting handle and kept in place by a metal buckle that’s applied by a special banding tool.
There are many companies that manufacture a variety of different types and styles of machines that perform basically the same function. Many companies use strapping machines to secure their products to transport pallets or crates as well as strapping many products together on their own, such as piping and metal rods.
The strapping machine works by pulling and fastening a band of metal or plastic around the products and keeping them immobile during transport. Whether it’s across town or around the globe, many companies rely on the strapping machine to get the products to market safely and securely. Some basic training is usually required to be able to strap and fasten products properly. Not performing the required steps in just the right order can make for a load that is loose and may shift.
This will mean a dangerous load not only for the driver of the transport truck but also for the person unloading the products by forklift. If the strapping isn’t tight enough, it can slip off and the load can become very unstable and dangerous.
Packing machines are used to place products into packing boxes or crates to make them ready for transport to the market, or to the customer directly. Some packing machines utilize special electronic eyes that can actually sense when the product is within its range of movement and it will pick up the product and place it in the box or crate. Packing materials such as Styrofoam beads or peanuts are then poured in to provide a cushion against breakage and jarring during transport.
The packing machine also can close up and seal the box as well as place an inked stamp or label on the box in preparation for shipment. Some packing boxes and crates are strapped together on a pallet by way of a strapping machine before being moved into the back of a truck for transport. Some packing machines can even handle breakable items such as plates and ceramic tiles without damaging the products at all. This takes a specialized machine of course, which usually means that the machine will cost a lot.
Many packing machines also weigh the product and case or box before shipping it out in order to calculate shipping or mail costs. This is usually all done by way of an onboard program within the machine that is connected to a computer. This program keeps track of all inventories in this way and can tell what products are on hand and which ones have been sent out of the warehouse to the customer.
There are probably packing machines at manufacturing companies that package up strapping machines or shipment, which seems a little redundant. Packing machines can make repetitive packaging jobs much easier to handle and keep track of for companies that specialize in this business.

Deciphering Celtic Knots in Celtic Jewelry
If you go to an average website that sells Celtic jewelry, you’ll typically find that the “meanings” of knot patterns are based more on marketing than universal truth. What you are not told is how the “meaning” is derived. Indeed, the Celts left no written records. Yet we do know that the Celts were a tribal group that lived intimately with the natural world. All that exists in form has a particular shape and these shapes actually have certain functions. Circles, squares, triangles and crosses are the blue prints. They also are the basis of Celtic knots in Celtic jewelry. Let’s take a quick look at the meaning of these blue prints so that you will be able to understand for yourself how to interpret knots in Celtic jewelry.
The line: Everything starts with an individual point of view, a line or vector that is a trajectory toward a certain destination. No matter whether the line is straight, curved or irregular, it has a beginning and an end. Lines in Celtic jewelry design have a cohesive pattern which has symbolic meaning.
Cross motifs: From the line, the most basic element of any piece of Celtic jewelry knot work is the crossing of two lines. Any time that two separate paths cross, you have the possibility of a new perspective. Look at the lines in a piece and decide in a general sense whether the pattern flows with harmony, or is it more jagged with points, suggesting a rich and potent discord?
Circles motifs: The most basic knot is circular or has parts of circles. Consider, now, what a circle symbolizes. Look around you right now with your round eyes and see all that is in the form of the circle. We speak of a circle of friends and the cycle of the days and seasons. Certainly circle teaches about equality and community. Circles are cohesive wholes that allow life to exist as it is. In rings, circles are symbolic of commitment.
Wave motifs: Parts of circles - the arcs - form wave like patterns. Waves are fundamental expressions of all that exists. Particle physics states that matter itself exists in waves. On a more basic level, remember what it is like to be in the ocean and feel the steady rhythm of waves. Waves represent steady, regular movement and flow over time.
Square motifs: Squares are not all that common in nature, be we as human beings do depend upon them. Look at where you see squares around you and you will understand how this blue print concerns structures and foundations. Also, squares are said to symbolize the five senses-four points and the center.
Triangular motifs: In nature, you find triangles in the features of birds, the tops of waves and the end of leaves. Humans use triangles to create arrows and to create pyramids. You can begin to see how a triangular pattern, or vectors, might suggest focused energy directed toward a specific point.
Spiral motifs: The spiral is an ancient motif that is found all over the world. Spirals are actually elements of spheres, which are three dimensional circles. Consider how events in your life may outwardly appear the same, but over time, your view changes. Spirals represent growth or evolution in your own circle walk, which is another way of saying, your life journey.
Trinity motifs: Trinity motifs are common in Celtic jewelry designs. Many religious traditions, of course, have their own profound understanding of what the trinity means. Basically, from the most universal perspective, the trinity represents Unity that is divided into two parts, male or female. The Celtic trinity symbolized the mother, maiden and crone; earth, heavens and the underworld; and the past present and future.
Now, that you have had your quick course in sacred geometry; get started with your interpretation of a Celtic knot! What attracts us to a particular motif is often mysterious, but you can perhaps gain some insight based on these interpretations. Look at one of the jewelry knot motifs. Imagine that you are riding on its track. How does it feel? Next, consider the shapes and begin to interpret the symbolic meaning based on some of the ideas mentioned above. Finally, consider what the knot motif might teach you about your life now.

The Best Package Opener for Moving Supplies, Shipping Boxes, and Everyday Use
Anyone who works in shipping and receiving - not to mention anyone who’s ever moved into a new house or apartment, staffed a mail room, or gotten a package in the mail - knows the improvised solutions people may resort to when receiving a parcel without a good box cutter on hand.
Some workers, faced with a stiffly-wrapped package and no package opener in sight, will opt for brute force. They pull, push, pry, poke and tear on the flaps of the box, all to no avail. They yank on the loose end of the packing tape until it tears - or doesn’t tear. The use of teeth is not unknown. Shoulders strain, fingers get cut, and the boxes are reduced to tatters sometimes along with the materials inside. Other workers, bereft of a utility knife, will assault a perfectly innocent parcel in a sometimes dangerous approach with all manner of blunt objects in a sometimes dangerous approach a jackknife, butter knife, the handle of a spoon, sewing scissors, screw driver, keys, letter opener, fork, the sharp end of a pen, or whatever is handy, and the upshot, usually, is bent utensils, dull scissors, and sore shoulders, at best. At worst, the result is cuts, lacerations and trips to the emergency room.
People who’ve just moved to a new house or apartment may find themselves in the same position. Facing empty rooms and hours of tedious unpacking - with their tools, possibly, packed away somewhere in it all - many movers give up on proper technique entirely, and rip their boxes open by any means necessary. After hours of loading and unloading trucks, lifting furniture, and navigating box after box through a series of narrow doorways, these movers risk serious arm and shoulder muscle strains.
As funny as these improvised solutions may be to watch, none of them are terribly safe. And employee safety is no laughing matter for workers or employers. In any given year, according to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nearly five million workers will experience injury or illness on the job, and more than half these injuries will be severe enough to send the worker home. Of these injuries, a third of them will be in the form of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Such disorders are painful for workers and costly for employers, both in lost productivity and in workers compensation claims. For workers who handle heavy packages on a regular basis, these injuries are both especially inconvenient and especially hard to avoid.
Without proper tools such as a safety knife, package-handlers - whether shipping and receiving or mail room workers or just ordinary folks - not only risk knife accidents (which can be deadly), but also Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), a kind of musculoskeletal disorder that results from overtaxing certain muscle groups by tensing them for excessive time periods, due to overuse or poor posture. The use of the wrong tools leads directly to such muscle strain and overuse. Box cutters are designed to minimize the use of arm and shoulder muscles. They thus increase efficiency and save time, as well as protecting workers from injury.
To avoid injuring yourself when opening packages, follow these simple instructions:
- Place the box on the floor, setting it at such an angle that you will not be pulling the box cutter toward you. In other words, make sure that the line of tape is horizontal, not vertical, in relation to you.
- Place your hand on the opposite side of the box.
- Rather than cutting straight across all at once, make a series of small, smooth cuts.
Most of all, be sure you have good box cutters on hand. Use a box cutter with a sharp blade, because dull blades require more pressure, leading to greater potential for injuries. Maintain a full set of utility knife box cutters and safety knives for your employees and your home, and instruct everyone who handles them in proper box-cutting technique.

A Child Dream Room Come True
When I was a child I wanted my room to be a certain way. I had dreams of a four post canopy bed with soft pink bedding and fluffy pillows with lacy covers. I wanted furniture that matched, and I wanted my furniture to be painted pink with flowers. I imagined big stuffed animals, a whimsical toy box and a rocking horse for me to ride. I hoped for all of these things.
Don’t get me wrong. I had a cute bedroom when I was a child. It’s just that I dreamed of having a room like the rich kids had. Forty years ago, all of the things I dreamed of for my dream bedroom were hard to come by. They were all specialty items that had a big price tag attached to them. Occasionally, I’d receive one of the goodies on my bedroom wish list, but it was a big deal. I knew my big dream bedroom was an unreachable dream.
Today what you can do with a child’s bedroom has been revolutionized. Your ordinary family can give a little boy or girl a bedroom with all the bells and whistles. The bedroom I dreamed of as a child has become a dream come true for today’s kids.
I redecorated my kids’ rooms this summer. It was a big endeavor, but it was very exciting. Every time I went to the store I’d come home with something new to match our bedroom projects. Today, my daughter’s room has pink walls, pink furniture and all the photographs on the walls have pink frames. The bed has a dust ruffle that matches the bedspread and the wall boarder. Her room is “all girl.” My sons’ room is just as fun. An orange and blue color scheme matches my sons’ enthusiasm for Detroit Tiger baseball. They have furniture that’s just their size, too. A favorite piece is a kid sized recliner that sits next to a big basket of appealing library books. I made curtains to hang around bed frame to give the boys a little privacy within their shared room. I made sure the curtains matched the Tiger’s theme that had taken over their room. Today, my boys’ room is “all boy.”
I don’t want to be sexist. If my daughter wants a toddler bed that looks like a fire truck I’m ready to drive it on home. Her room can be “all girl” and break out of the social norms at the same time. In fact, I encourage my kids to dream their own dreams and give little heed to what society says they should have or want. I give my boys the same freedoms. Their bedroom has a baseball theme because that’s what my boys wanted. I didn’t push “boy stuff” on them. They were free to choose what they wanted. I was happy to give it to them. It was a pleasure to give my kids the room of their dreams.
I’m a teacher and an artist. When I designed my kids’ rooms I did my best to draw on my professional knowledge and experience. As a teacher I had learned that kids take pride in a space that’s just right for them. As an artist I had learned that kids love careful attention to detail and beauty. When I made my kids’ dream rooms come true, I tried to combine my knowledge and experience with the desires and needs of my children. That’s why I spent some time designing their bedroom spaces before I began the actual overhaul of each room. When the room projects were done I was grateful for the fruits of my careful planning.
The careful planning of my children’s bedrooms began with some internet searches. I set aside some time to check out what was available through regular retailers and specialty stores. I enjoyed the discoveries I made on these searches. The first discovery was in the toddler furniture department. I found the most adorable toddler beds and toddler furniture sets fit for a special little prince or princess. I found that the room theme of your child’s dream is often readily available. Princess themes, fire truck themes, adorable vanities, bed tents and a toddler bed that’s tailored to your tot’s wishes are a few of the many wonderful discoveries my searches uncovered. What I learned during these planning stages was exciting and very helpful.
The next stage in the planning process was acquisition. I made decisions, with my kids, about what we would put in their new bedrooms and then we made our purchases. We began with paint colors, borders, fixtures and outlet covers. Later, we moved on to furniture, bedding, knick knacks and wall hangings. Finally, we asked the question, “What else do we need?” Then, we added the final touches to our summer room projects.
My kids are grateful. They love their new rooms. My toddler loves having his first big boy bed. My daughter loves having her own room away from the boys. My middle son enjoys the prestige and novelty of the top bunk bed. My attention to detail and beauty was not lost on my three kids. They appreciate the time I spent planning and acquiring the stuff that would make their dream rooms a reality.
I took great pleasure in living vicariously through my children this summer. It was my dream to have a dream room when I was a kid. That’s part of why it was my dream to give my own kids what I once dreamed of. It’s part of why I love to see my children celebrating and enjoying their dream rooms.
There’s a final reason why I enjoy the fruits of our summer room redecorating. It’s pride. My kids take pride in their new rooms. Today, they are more apt to pick up their dirty laundry and put it in the hamper. When they wake up they make their beds before I get a chance to ask them to. My kids enjoy doing their homework in their own special room. Today, my children have taken real ownership of their dream rooms. It’s a space that’s just right for them. They know it, they appreciate it and they take pride in it.
I have dreamed “The Dream Room Dream” and made it a reality for my very own children. It was worth the time, planning, resources and effort. I don’t regret all that I invested in making my kids’ dreams come true. It’s why I encourage others to do likewise. Dare to dream the dream. Make it a reality for someone you love. Enjoy the fruits of an excellent investment. Enjoy the joy, thanks and smiles.

Chainsaw Prices - Is Electric A Better Option Than A Gas-Powered Saw?
Comparing chainsaw prices can be a little confusing especially for first time buyers. The chainsaw is becoming standard equipment in the tool sheds of many homes around the world yet, people still have trouble coming up with the right machine.
Just like real estate, it’s important not to over-capitalize when comparing the prices of chainsaws. Sure the bigger, more powerful Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo and Poulan machines are tempting to take home but let me predict what will happen.
Buyer’s remorse will set in. And why wouldn’t it? This article is directed at those of you who live in surburbia with not a lot of call to use a chainsaw on a regular basis.
Electric Chainsaws
There are some excellent electric models on the market today. Better still, they are available for what seem crazy prices. In fact, for $50-$75 you can pick yourself up a great working electric model chainsaw which will handle most of the jobs around the home.
Yes there are drawbacks to electric chainsaws namely wet conditions and they’re not as flexible as gas-powered machines. However, if you intend using them on just a handful of times a year then wet weather is not going to be an issue.
The more expensive electric models when assessing chainsaw prices will usually be under the name brand banners of Stihl and Husqvarna. These machines are loaded with many more features than the low priced items but once you start getting into this price category, then it might pay to inspect the gas-powered models.
Gas Powered Chainsaws
Extra power and portability are the main attractions of gas-powered saws however, they are noisier and less suited to suburban conditions.
The intention of this article though is to try and get the most suitable machine in your hands as a infrequent user for the best price. Poulan have some very suitable lightweight saws while brands such as Homelite, Remington and Echo are worth exploring.
If you’re looking at spending less than a hundred dollars then we can’t guarantee what you’ll pick up in the gas-powered range however, when comparing chainsaw prices, by looking at the $100-$200 range, then you are well in the ball park and open to many great options.
Forking out hundreds of dollars on a chainsaw just doesn’t make sense if you’re buying your first machine or you’re only going to use it a few times a year. Sure, you might be the envy of your friends and neighbors but wouldn’t the extra few hundred dollars you outlaid have been better directed to your kid’s college fund?

Kid Furniture Can Bring Out the Kid in You!
I just finished redecorating my kids’ bedrooms. It was more fun than I thought it would be. There were a few reasons for this. Firstly, the world of redecorating has been revolutionized since I was a child. Secondly, it was less work than I thought it would be. And, lastly, a part of me that was long forgotten came alive in me. It was my childlike imagination.
As I entered a few of the local department stores I was close to overwhelmed by the room redecorating options. There we so many fun themes to choose from. I discovered that I could pretty nearly give my kids what they wanted in a room, and I could give it with much less effort than I had originally anticipated. Initially, I had seen myself stripping furniture and working tenaciously to hand paint designs and decorations onto my kids’ bedroom furniture. What I saw changed when I learned that all this work had already been done for me. All I needed to do was decide on which selections matched the desires of our imaginations. Then, a simple, fairly inexpensive investment was all that was required.
Once my kids and I had made decisions about what would fill their new bedrooms it was time for us to roll up our sleeves and get to work. When I first juiced up to do these bedroom projects I loathed this part of the process. I figured that I’d be spending several weeks getting everything to come together in a way that matched the desires of my children. I was very wrong about this process. I didn’t have to make curtains to match the bedspreads. I didn’t need to hand paint murals on the walls. It wasn’t necessary for me to reinvent the wheel like I had anticipated. My “do-it-yourself” projects had already been done for me. I had a theme, children’s furniture, wall decorations, bedding and detailing that came together perfectly. Much of what I needed came right from my local department store. I just needed to put it all together.
When it came time to put it all together, the kid in me really came alive. I absolutely loved the process of making all my selections fit together. I had a “dot theme” for my daughter’s room. The bedspread had dots, the dust ruffle had dots, her desk top had dots and the wall border was full of dots. Even the shelving had a dot theme. Dots were everywhere and they were wonderful. I felt like a child again as I put up the shelves, made the bed and added the wall border. I don’t know who liked the final outcome more. It might have been my daughter? Perhaps, it was me?
My sons’ room redecoration project was just as fun. My oldest son had just discovered his love for baseball and baseball was a very popular room theme. It was so simple to find the right stuff to put in a baseball theme room. Matching baseball bedding, kids’ furniture, wall decor and knick knacks were just about everywhere I looked. I even added baseball appliques to the outside of the boys’ wall cabinets. Baseballs stuff was everywhere and so were the smiles. My boys had the baseball bedroom of their dreams. I felt like it was my room too. I could taste what it was like to be a boy who loved baseball. It was as though I had climbed inside my own boys’ imaginations.
Kids’ furniture, kids’ decor and kids’ themes rule in today’s shopping world. If you don’t believe me, make a simple internet search for children’s furniture, decor and themes and you won’t have enough days in the week to consider everything you find. I loved this process of considering all the options, though. I didn’t let it overwhelm me. I let my inclinations as a teacher, artist and former kid take over. I allowed myself to dream and imagine all the ways I could make our redecorating project come alive. I trusted my professional experience, my talents and my experiences as a mom and I let it all guide the process. Most importantly, I let the project bring out the kid in me. I put it all together with the eyes of a child.
Today, my kids are appreciating and enjoying the fruits of my efforts, skills and experience. Today, when I look into my children’s rooms I feel tremendous satisfaction. I see how it has all been worth the effort, time and resources. I see how it has all been worth the investment.
Consider redecorating your child’s room. Consider the possibilities. Let your imagination take over. See the world though the eyes of a child again. Enjoy the satisfaction, the “thank yous” and the smiles.

The Yellow Bikini Is Dropping Bombs
Bikinis are offered in virtually any size, design or color. If you want to purchase a red bikini, a blue bikini, or a yellow bikini, you can find the perfect one for you, although a yellow bikini on a properly tanned body seems to turn more heads than any other color. But do people ever wonder where the idea for the bikini came from.
Contrary to what one might assume, the term “bikini” did not originate in Paris, Milan, or New York City. In fact, bikinis, even yellow ones, were born in the Marshall Islands. In the summer of 1946, an atomic bomb was dropped on Bikini Atoll, in a test. Bikini Atoll is located in an isolated region of the Pacific Ocean.
The term “bikini” is the only word in Modern English, which originates from the language Marshallese. Soon after the nuclear test, the fashion term bikini had also been integrated into French, and subsequently into English.
Then on July 5, 1946, Louis Reard shocked Paris’s fashion world with his newest fashion design. It was a meagre swimsuit that only included four pieces of material, shaped like triangles. Narrow straps held these triangles in place, which had been carefully positioned on the female body.
One might assume that several flamboyant fashion models would be thrilled about unveiling the bikini to Paris’s fashion world. In fact, not one could be found. Instead, a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris posed in a yellow piece of the new attire. Like the atomic bomb that had been tested in the Marshall Islands, the industrialized world’s interest in bikinis, including the yellow bikini, exploded.
Bombs and Bikinis
The irony of the bikini’s name existed in its being a woman’s fashion item that commemorated the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, during peacetime. The United States conducted a total of twenty-three nuclear tests there, for over a decade afterwards.
The Bikini Boom
While the term bikini immediately became popular in English, it failed to become a common component of beachwear, until much later. The 1960 hit song “Itsy-Bitsy-Teenie-Weenie-Yellow-Polka-Dot Bikini” helped to promote not only the yellow bikini, but others as well. Also, the 1960s unconventional fashion styles and beach movies helped bikinis, such as the yellow bikini, to increase in popularity.
As you can see, there is more to the bikini than just a couple flimsy pieces of fabric. Next time you are at the beach think of bikini atoll and how the yellow bikini became popular.

Bikini Swimsuits: The Secrets To Finding The Right One
When it comes to buying bikini swimsuits many women get scared because they know that it if doesn’t fit right it can make their body look bad. There are also so many colors and styles to choose from that women get easily confused as to what they would look best in.
However, if you know what to look for almost any body type can rock a bikini swimsuit. Here’s how to cover your flaws and flaunt what your mama gave you.
Small Breast Bikini Swimsuits
Having small breasts may have brought you anxiety in high school, but designers today glorify the small breast on the runway. They make bikinis for you to show them off and be proud.
To enhance small breasts, buy bikini swimsuits that have ruffles, sequins, or other decorations that add an extra layer to the fabric. This will make your breasts look just a little fuller.
Triangular string bikinis are also great to add the illusion of a little more fullness. Remember, the smaller the fabric triangle the bigger your breasts will look. Don’t swamp them in fabric. Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with having small breasts and you can also choose a bikini that shows off the way you naturally are.
Large Breast Bikini Swimsuits
Women with small breasts may hate to hear you complain, but there are some special problems that arise for the well endowed as well, when shopping for a bikini swimsuit. The number one problem is support.
Unless you have unnaturally lifted breasts, you should always buy bikini tops with under-wire. If you have a bra that you love then mimic a bikini style that is like your best bra. Full coverage is probably your best bet for comfort.
To draw attention away from your breasts, make sure that your bottoms have an eye-catching pattern or detail and that your top is somewhat plain. Tying a coordinating scarf to the hip of your suit bottoms is a great way to look stylish and draw attention.
Small Butt Bikini Swimsuits
Most people don’t see small rear ends as a problem when it comes to bikinis or swimsuits in general, but if you are still concerned, here are some tips:
*Thongs or more triangular bottoms will flatter better than brief type bottoms
* Any decorations on the bottom will enhance its shape
* Ruffles will fill out a lacking rump
Large Bottom Bikini Swimsuits
If you have a little more junk-in-the-trunk than you would like, it is important to draw attention away to your top. Try mixing and matching your bikini swimsuits so that the bottom is black or another dark color, and the top is bright and eye-catching. Stay away from bottoms that have patterns, flashy hardware, and/or bold colors.
No matter what body type you have, mixing and matching your suit top with your suit bottom is the best way to enhance your look. However, don’t settle for the wrong fit.
If you have a larger top than bottom, buy a larger top. If you have a larger bottom, buy a larger bottom. Be comfortable with who you are, be hot, feel hot, and rock that bikini!

A Child Vanity Makes Dreams Come True!
I had a vanity when I was a little girl. It was the perfect size for me. It was also the perfect place for me to become a young lady who believed that her dreams could one day come true.
My vanity was painted white and had a white bench for me to sit on. My vanity had a round mirror and little drawers to store things in. I loved storing my prized possessions inside those little drawers. One drawer held all my plastic jewels. Another was full of hair baubles, clips and pony tail holders. Still another contained kid’s make-up and nail polish. My vanity held all my special things.
My room was usually a mess but my vanity was kept very orderly. It was a place of pride for me. I loved to sit at my vanity and prepare for my day. I loved to look into the mirror and dream about what exciting things the day might bring to me. My vanity gave me a place to sit and dream. It was a place for aspirations to take root. It was a place where my dreams began.
Little girls want to believe that they’re beautiful. They want to know that they’re special. They want someone to look at them and like what they see. The truth is, little girls spend a lot of time looking in the mirror and wondering. They wonder if they’re pretty. They wonder what they can do to make themselves elegant and breathtaking. They imagine that they’re worth looking at.
For a little girl, this “wondering” is where self esteem begins. Tell a child they’re beautiful and give them a place where they can begin to believe that what you tell them is true.
