If you want to keep to keep your hair snarl-free for long, it is important to use a clean hairbrush or combs. Using a clean hair brush ensures that you don’t have a fluff in your hair. However, a hair brush or comb tends to get dirty with repeated usage. Though many people throw old combs and buy new ones, but doing so is against the good environmental practices.

Remember, regular cleaning helps your hairstyling tools last longer. You should clean your hair styling tools such as hair brushes and combs at least once a week. While cleaning them, you should ensure that you remove all hair strands collected onto your hair brush. If you are wondering that the job of cleaning a hair brush is difficult and troublesome, we have listed few tips here that can help you cleaning a hair brush and keeping it clean for long.

In order to properly clean a hair brush or comb, you need some hot water and bleach. Mix around 100ml of bleach into a gallon of hot water and put the solution into large bucket or container. Now soak all your hair brushes and combs into the water for around an hour. You should soak them for long if still look dirty after an hour. After an hour, add a teaspoon of liquid soap into a separate bucket of water and put hair brushes into this solution. Drain the water after a while and thoroughly rinse the hair brush.

You should remove all the water from the hair brushes before you start cleaning them. Remove the hair stuck in its bristles so that they look clean and hygienic. If you want to clean your hair combs, you can put them in the washing machine. However, you should avoid putting hair brushes in your washing machine as they can damage the delicate clothes. If you own an expensive hair brush, you should avoid using bleach to clean it as it may damage the brush. However, you can use the soap and warm water to clean the delicate brush. While using bleach to clean your hair brush, you should follow the directions printed on the bottle. You should never bleach an object, which should not be bleached.

You should disinfect your hairbrush using a heating facility in your dishwasher after you have cleaned it. Just put the hairbrush in the dishwasher and add around 5-10ml of bleach into the dishwasher along with dish detergent and Now select the dryer cycle to completely dry and disinfect your hairbrush. You can also use a fork to pull out the hairs stuck around the bristles of your hair brush. You can use another comb or hair brush to take out the leftover hair on the hairbrush.

If you keep your hair brushes and combs clean, you are actually keeping the environment safe and clean. This is because it takes energy to manufacture hair brushes and combs. Therefore, avoid throwing a hair brush when it’s dirty. Rather, you should clean hair brushes for the sake of environment and your pocket.

Five Reasons Why Carla Bruni-sarkozy Is A Regally Graceful™ Woman

khairhai29 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:29:06 +0000

Carla Bruni first came onto my radar screen when my mother had her first stroke. That was in 1995. We were talking about what images of a woman’s whole body she wanted to have on the dreamboard that we were making for her to go by her bed. At the time, my mother had just been accepted at Central St Martin’s, the illustrious art school in London and as part of her portfolio she had been studying female nudes. As I went through all my mother’s art stuff looking for the image of “the most beautiful young Italian woman”, as my mother had described her. I wondered if I would indeed be able to pick Carla Bruni out from the boxful of images.

There was no question. As I picked up the postcard of the now-famous photograph of Carla Bruni, it was the only one which fitted my mother’s description. I was intrigued by her. As I flicked through fashion magazines I would pick her out on the catwalk. Even on the page her nobility, grace and poise shone through. Of course, in the gossipy magazines she also featured as she was romantically linked with some of the most famous, or indeed infamous, studs around. Although some of the comments about her were far from flattering I realised that each man she was photographed with believed, truly believed, that he was the only man in the world, not just her world, but the whole world.

Sarkozy and his relationship with his now ex-wife has also made for interesting and illuminating reading. Much has been made of how she left him for another man, then was persuaded back to the marital bed while he stood for President, and then how she left him again. Sarkozy undoubtedly, has that Gallic gene of loving being around ladies. Even the French press, with their stringent privacy laws, were loving the guessing game of who’s the next Mrs S and the new First Lady of France. Monsieur Le President was happy to give them something to distract them from the woes of the state of the French nation.

When Sarkozy introduced Carla Bruni to the world as his new inamorata, there was a collective intake of breath. The press focussed on the sheer magnitude of her previous male conquests. I’m not entirely sure of what the mood of French women was, but in England there was a lot of “she’s not that great, really I don’t know what the fuss is, she’s destroyed some marriages along the way, broken lots of hearts, and it can’t be natural to be that beautiful.” Bitchy in other words.

As soon as the news broke I was hooked. Here was a man, whom his advisers leaked to the press, was very low, fed-up and making their lives miserable. Here was a man who needs a woman. Nothing else would do for him. Here was a woman, of breeding, success, education in many arts and grace who needed to be stretched to enter a new phase in her life, to conquer the ennui she felt. Here was a nation in dire need of the inspiration of a woman to rally around.

And, of course, the British have played their part. It became known that the Queen would expect to follow protocol in welcoming the new French First Lady, as the President’s lawful wedded wife. I’m sure that love at first sight had already taken care of that, but it’s somehow nice to imagine that the Royal standards were upheld in this story.

The morning that M et Mme Le President de France arrived in London, Christie’s the auctioneers, were launching a sale of some photographs of the new Mrs. Sarkozy, nude. It’s not everyday that you go on an official visit knowing that everyone has already seen you with your kit off while they were eating their marmalade and toast and knocking back a stiff cup of coffee. She put a spring in the step of every Englishman before the day had even got under way.

By mid-afternoon the photographs of the French State Visit were landing in our in-boxes. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, dressed so innocently and demurely with a glint in her eye, then melted all the hearts of England. Even the women. At first there was a little bitching – she looked like an air-hostess, she was too thin – but it lasted as long as out-of-season snow and by the evening we were all hers. The harshest thing we Englishwomen had to accept, because the evidence was right before our eyes, was that collectively, royal, ministerial or the-woman-on-the-street, we all looked dowdy, crumpled, chubby, frumpy, and inappropriately inelegant.

Look around at the women upon whom we as a society lavish our attention. We all know examples of women born into rich industrial families or aristocracy. We see women with highly successful careers. We obsess over the lives of women in the fashion and music industries. How many of them inspire you because they are truly elegant and graceful women?

And this is what Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is. Being a super-model is no walk in the park. Being around such famous men as Eric Clapton, Mike Jagger and Donald Trump I guess is no walk in the park either. Being born into a successful family with the probable pressures to perform probably isn’t as lovely as it sounds. Being brought up a foreigner in Paris isn’t so fantastic either. And these are all the breeding ground for what made her inspire not just the French to rekindle their rallying cry to Marianne, their national mythical muse, but also the English to raise their feminine game.

Yesterday the Sunday Times had a photo feature on Carla Bruni, shot by Claude Gassian, a photographer whom she knows. Sadly the online version only includes one cropped image. The one which will have had every man in England wistfully gazing into his soggy cornflakes as he distractedly poured too much milk into the bowl because he had his eyes elsewhere, is the one I’ve featured here. Every man longs, needs, wants, no more than that, he yearns to have that power to address his world (here it’s Sarkozy addressing both the Houses of Parliament, from that you can read what you like into Anglo-French relations) with the most beautiful woman in the world, successful in her own right sitting behind him, giving him 100% attention, supporting and not competing with him.

Every woman needs to look very carefully at this image and assess how she supports, inspires and uplifts the men in her life without competition. For this reason alone I vote this one of the iconic images of our time.

Five reasons why Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is a Regally Graceful™ Woman:

1. She is successful in her own right
2. She knows how to make a man feel as though he is the only man in the world
3. She knows how to dress sensuously so that every man wants her but all know that she is beyond them
4. She sits elegantly, walks with poise, and engages alluringly
5. She looks as good clothed at 40 as she did nude at 25

The Final Details – Don’t Forget the Bridal Lingerie!

khairhai29 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:26:45 +0000

So it is your big day. Every detail has been scrutinized. No stone left unturned. You’ve spent weeks, maybe even months, going over every single element of your wedding day from the cake, to the flowers and don’t even get me started on the dress. But don’t make the same mistake of thousands of brides each year and stop the planning at the wedding. Let’s face it. Your big day doesn’t end at the wedding ceremony. In fact, the second most important part of your wedding is the wedding night. And on the day when every woman wants to look her most beautiful, it is imperative that you don’t disappoint when the wedding dress comes off. The wedding night is traditionally one of the most passionate nights of your life, so why wouldn’t you give your lingerie the same attention as the rest of your wedding details? If you are a bride-to-be, don’t overlook the significance of Bridal Lingerie. Remember, the wedding day is for you, but the wedding night is often the most anticipated event for the groom.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand that one more thing to have to worry about for your wedding is not necessarily good news. But, don’t get discouraged. Today it is easier than ever to shop for women’s lingerie. The good news is there is a whole industry of innerwear specifically created for use on a wedding day. From extra shaping and support that makes you even more beautiful in your bridal gown to lace and silk to amp up the sex appeal on the night of your wedding, there are so many options to make you look memorable in your wedding gown and out of it. Bridal lingerie is widely available and comes in various sizes, colors, and styles so there is definitely something for everyone. “Just like with your wedding dress, you must try it on to find the lingerie style and fit that is right for you. If there is any time to get it right, your wedding night is it. Go with a trusted source in women’s lingerie and make sure what you choose works with your dress,” explains French lingerie expert, Sidney Vallon of West Palm Beach Bridal Lingerie.

According to Vallon, there are three primary forms of Bridal Lingerie: the basque, corset and the bustier. The basque supports the breasts and has suspenders that reduce the region of the abdomen. The corset is best suited if you are planning to wear a strapless bridal gown. Finally, the bustier has a striking resemblance to the bra but is boned and extended to the waist. Vallon says that some of the most popular style choices at well-known lingerie company, West Palm Beach Bridal Lingerie, are the underwire baby doll, satin jacquard corset, soft net chemise, lace long line bustier and satin lace garter belts.

Popular choices aside, when you are choosing the shape and color of your Bridal Lingerie, you must bear in mind that they are largely dependent on the shape of your body as well as your selected bridal gown. For instance, if you have chosen a backless or halter-style bridal gown, you may want to consider an adhesive bra. If your bridal gown is off-shoulder or strapless, you can opt for the corset type lingerie or the conventional bustier. Other gowns that reveal more skin should be paired with lingerie that has less fabric and is less likely to show. And in this case, size does matter. “Most lingerie dealers today have a good selection of sizes. For example, at West Palm Beach Bridal Lingerie we carry sizes ranging from zero to plus sizes. However, I always recommend my clients try it on, ideally with the wedding gown, to ensure it fits perfectly,” says Vallon.

When you decide to shop for your Bridal Lingerie, make sure you are looking in a store that is not only reputed, but also dedicated completely to women’s innerwear and nightwear. Such stores usually have staff that is experienced in fit and style and can guide you to the innerwear that will not only fit you perfectly but also suit you well. If possible, you should bring your bridal gown to the store so you can try it on with the lingerie. Try to choose a material that you find comfortable to wear and which does not tear or snag easily as you will more than likely be moving around quite a bit and may be in the innerwear for some time. “It is true that bridal lingerie is usually more expensive than other lingerie, but I know at West Palm Beach Bridal Lingerie we have many options at different price points. Besides, your wedding night is not the time to pinch pennies. What a disappointment to spare no expense for a magical wedding and drop the ball on the wedding night,” claims Vallon.

Have You Ever Thought About Starting Your Own Beauty Pageant?

khairhai29 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:17:30 +0000

Can you imagine the buzz in the room as YOU announce the winner of your first beauty pageant?
The gasps, the smiles, the joy?
The feeling of goodwill and uplifting pride?
The satisfaction of accomplishment?

I can remember the first beauty pageant I directed very clearly. It was exciting and nerve racking at the same time.
The beauty of women strolling down the runway in elegant evening gowns. Cheers erupting from supportive friends and family members as the girls took their turn. I could feel the love in the room as if it was yesterday, yet it was 16 years ago.

Once I caught the bug I’ve never looked back. Directing Beauty Pageants has become a passion that continues to give me drive and purpose in my life.

After every Pageant I direct I know that I have assisted other women, girls, and even young boys, in increasing their self worth through developing presentation skills. These skills will continue to assist them through out their lives and carreers.

Most of the pageant directors I have met were usually contestants at one time. Some started as a Pageant Mom and loved the atmosphere and the joy it brought to those who participated and attended the events.

As a contestant your desire may be sparked by observing the director of the pageants you participated in. The director might symbolize someone who is control, glamorous, enjoying the process, and appears to be on top of the world.

Or maybe you thought the program could have been better organized, or just ran differently. Perhaps you believe you could add a style and panache that would be more entertaining and exciting.

As a viewer you might see things you enjoy, the entertainment, the crowning of the new royalty, the smiles of the contestants and the audience. On the other hand you may do things differently if you were the director.

These thoughts are the launching pad for pursuing directing your own pageant. Now you need to take action. You have made a decision that will take you into an industry that is filled with Beauty, Entertainment, Media, and Glamour.

The pageant industry promotes self growth. It is an industry that assists women in developing their individuality.

Congratulations on your decision to join a wonderful family of passionate people.

If you think jewellery is not what you want to give, gifting a watch should definitely be the next choice. You can buy a nice expensive watch for the bride.
Or if you don’t want to give something thoughtful to the bride, it is a good idea to get a picture of the bride and the groom framed. You can also write a personalized message on it.

One can also give different kind of exquisite evening bags, tote bags, handbags and clutch bags. Besides that, jewellery boxes, perfumes, make-up kits and bags are other popular gift items.

Undoubtedly, a watch is an all time favorite wedding gift for groom. You can either go in for an expensive Rado, Omega or Rolex watch or a reasonable but decent Titan or Swatch watch.

The latest gadgets like iPod, MP3 player, mobile phones or stereo system can also be presented to the groom. Besides this, you can also buy a digital camera or other portable electronics which will be cherished by him forever.

Perfumes have ruled the roost as the most appropriate wedding gifts. Exclusive perfumes from Calvin Klein, Dior, Hugo Boss, Armani, and Burberry could be presented. Any of the indigenous brands like ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ and many more also make excellent wedding gifts. Personalized gifts – If you are a very close friend, make sure to collect pictures of the bride and groom and get a customized gift which will be treasured. Customized gifts have more room for creativity and are priceless.

You can also choose to give formal gifts to groom like ties, tiepins, cufflinks (gold, silver or diamond studded ones) etc. Other choice is clothes. You can gift him suits and shirts, which are also useful and look good as a gift.
Gifts for both the bride and the groom – you can be a little experimental when it comes to gift items for the bride and the groom. They can be funny and naughty items. However, such gifts should be given to the couple only by those who are their close friends or cousins. Otherwise, such gifts can be considered impolite. The list of funny gifts includes ‘just married’ goggles, T-shirts, hats, caps and flip-flops and naughty gifts can be wedding night kits, honeymoon kits, marriage certificates, towels and robes.

If you are looking forward to give them something serious, classy couple watches is a good idea. These watches come as a set of two or as a pair. Besides that, you can gift them couple perfumes, chocolates, sweets, apparel or a gift voucher.

Home décor items like attractive quilts, bed cover, cushions, wall hangings, lanterns and lamps are also a good choice as far as a couple gift is concerned.

Rituals of Gujarati Weddings

khairhai29 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:13:27 +0000

Gujarat, a state of rich culture, reflects Indian heritage beautifully because of its customs, rituals and traditions.
And when it comes to Gujarati weddings, Gujaratis celebrate all the rituals extravagantly.

In Gujarat, the rituals of a wedding symbolize many aspects of a married life. They serve as guidelines to the soon-to-be couple on how to lead a blissful married life.

Gujarati Matrimony:

Gujaratis, mainly, prefer making matches of their sons and daughters within their community. Just like other Indian communities, the parents of the girl start looking for a groom as soon as she grows up.

Costumes to be worn in a Gujarati wedding:

Bridal wear:
Saree is the most common bridal wear for the Gujarati brides. They wear saree in a very different style during the wedding occasion. Saree is mainly of red color as it is considered being the most auspicious colour for the occasion. Nowadays, designer lehengas are also popular.

Groom wear:
Usually, the Gujarati bridegrooms wear traditional Kurta and dhoti. These days, designer and formal suits or kurta pajamas have also become a popular choice.

Pre-wedding rituals:

Mandap Mahurat:
First and foremost, blessings are taken from Lord Ganesha, the Hindu God who is believed to remove all obstacles. This ritual is performed a few days before the wedding by the family of the bride and groom.

Griha Shanti:
It is one of the most significant rituals of a Gujarati wedding. In this ceremony, a puja or prayer is performed at the bride’s as well as the groom’s home. This takes place at an auspicious time after matching the horoscopes of the prospective bride and groom.

Jaan:
In this fun-filled custom, the groom arrives at the house of the bride to seek the blessings of his would-be mother-in-law. As a ritual, the groom is supposed to bow his head in front of her and clutch his nose. This gesture symbolizes his humility and understanding of the tremendous sacrifice that his future wife is about to make. The groom’s soon-to-be mother-in-law blesses him and does a small act to ward off the evil eye.

Wedding rituals:

Kanya Daan:
The proceedings of a Gujarati wedding begin with the kanya daan where the parents of the bride give away her hand to the groom. They fold their hands in front of the groom, which reflects the hope that their son-in-law will take good care of their daughter without giving her any kind of pain.

Pheras:
In pheras, the couple goes around the sacred fire and the acharya recites the mantras. The groom repeats the mantras while expressing his heart’s desire that seeks the love and support of his wife.

Saptapadi:
This indicates that the couple must take seven rounds of the holy fire. With each step, the groom keeps on chanting mantras. These symbolize groom’s requests to his wife to take good care of the house, cook healthy and nutritious meals for their family, be judicious with money, be an understanding and loving partner to him, etc. The bride promises to fulfill all these requests.

After that, both of them get tied in the most sanctified bond – marriage. Then, a few post-wedding rituals take place, which complete a beautiful Gujarati wedding.
