Learn How to Iron a Dress Shirt With These Easy Steps

Ironing a dress shirt can be tough if you don't have the right aion kinah , which of course there are so many dry cleaners

around with this type of shirt service. However, if spending $2.99 or more per shirt isn't in your budget week after week,

then you'd better learn how to iron a dress shirt!
First, get a good ironing board. You can't put a towel on the counter or the kitchen table and expect your shirt to look good

afterwards.
You also need a good iron with steam, and preferably a model that lets you press a button for additional blasts of steam that

help in certain stubborn areas. Make certain the bottom of the iron is free of mineral buildup, and you can prevent this by

using only distilled water (all minerals have been removed). If you don't use distilled water, you will end up with aion kinah on

your shirt from the minerals that come out through the steam vents on the bottom.
If your shirt is 100% cotton, you will need to put your iron on a higher heat setting. Irons will have dials that show you

what can be ironed at what level. Make sure the steam is on all the way. And always check the label of your shirt to see the

recommended laundering instructions for the best ironing results.
You will also need some spray starch. Practice spraying this on a few rags before aiming it at your good shirts. It tends to

clump if not sprayed evenly.
Spray the collar and iron both sides before anything else, aion kinah inside and out. Next, spray each section of the front and

iron from the neck to the bottom. After that, most shirts have yokes in the back which needs to be tended to separately.
Finally, it's time to press the sleeves. Unbutton the cuffs, and place each sleeve over the end of the board, bringing it up

as high as possible so the sleeve is taut. Too much starch on the sleeves can be irritating, so only use enough to keep the

sleeves evenly pressed with a sharp crease, going from the shoulder to the wrist.
Now that you've finished, be sure to hang up your shirt immediately, so that it doesn't lose that aion kinah , freshly-ironed look.

5 Foods to Get You Into Your Holiday Dress

When special aion kinah arise, you need a plan to fit into that special outfit. Eating wisely can solve all of your problems and

keep you full, satisfied and slim. Check out these 5 foods to feel great pn your fun occasion.
Food #1: Water. Can you believe me? Water. Like it's a food or something. Forget about the logistics - if you want to fit

into your dress for the special occasion, drink water. I don't mean a coffee-cup size every three hours. I mean a huge jug

full of filtered water.
Why drink it? It hydrates the cells and organs in your body. If everything is hydrated, you have more energy, better

digestion and the ability to think more clearly. Plus, you'll also flush fat as well as excess aion kinah , the more water you

drink).
Tip: Drink water until your urine is clear. The proper amount is different for everyone, so follow this guideline.
Food #2: Berries. This includes ALL berries. They are all low in calories and carbohydrates. Berries are a phenomenal food.

They contain many antioxidants and natural fiber. They are cleansing and will help you drop any unwanted lbs.
Tip: Don't eat berries alone. They are great when paired with a form of protein (chicken, tofu, eggs, you get the picture).

Eat any amount from 1/2 to 1 cup at any given meal.
Food #3: Oatmeal. Oatmeal is amazing. It contains enough natural fiber to keep you full and keep your digestive system

functioning optimally (in a not-so-gross way, better digestion equals less bloating).
Since oatmeal is a whole aion kinah , your body will use it up as energy. Your blood sugar levels will remain steady, so you won't

be tempted by the office bagels or pastries.
Tip: Eat only steel-cut or rolled oats. Instant oatmeal has been stripped of many nutrients, and it will digest quickly,

creating hunger soon after you've eaten it!
Food #4: Chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breast contains a good amount of protein that will help repair your muscle

fibers after a good workout. Chicken is also low in calories and carbohydrates! As a woman, your portion size only needs to

be about 3 to 5 ounces per meal (about half of a standard chicken breast). Cook up a few chicken breasts (get creative with

the recipe because there's nothing worse than aion kinah chicken!), and save the rest in a tupperware container to later throw on

a salad or to chop up on a bed of brown rice!
Tip: When buying meat (or dairy) products, opt to buy organic. We women don't need any extra hormones, and the safest,

smartest way to eat meat is to spend the extra cash and get organic only.
Food #5: Green Beans. I have this theory that green beans are the ultimate weight-loss vegetable. They are super low in

calories, and they provide an array of vital nutrients and vitamins! Eat them like you're getting paid to do so!
Tip: Don't like green beans? Try steaming them and then drizzling 1 tsp of olive oil on top and sprinkle some spices - you

might change your mind.
These 5 foods may not be the most exciting aion kinah , but I'm telling you how to fit into your holiday dress, not how to eat

for the rest of your life!
P.S. It's important to note that I do not recommend eating protein or any complex carbohydrates (this includes whole grains,

veggies and fruit) alone. Pair them together at every meal!

The History of Fancy Dress Wigs

Have you ever aion kinah where wigs came from? Most of us associate wigs with the legal profession or the entertainment

industry, but according to Wikipedia, Fancy Dress Wigs were used extensively by the Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks and Romans.
While wearing wigs to parties is almost a norm, the ancients wore them out of necessity. Imagine an environment where you

cannot just pop down to your local hair dresser or barber and bathing is something that happens every few days. The health

risks are enormous, so the ancients shaved their heads bald, but needed something that could protect them from the aion kinah

and look good at the same time; you guessed it, a wig!
The word "wig" is derived from the French word "(per)ruque" which means "a head of hair made from horse hair, human hair,

wool, etc." During the 17th century, it was almost obligatory for men of any stature to where a wig. The wigs became very

elaborate and became quite heavy and uncomfortable as these masterpieces evolved into finely crafted articles. Wig makers

gained prominence during this time as their skills were in great demand.
The military adopted the use of wigs from the 17th to 19th aion kinah , but only officers were afforded the luxury. The foot

soldier was required to grow their natural hair. In the modern day wigs are still used for fun, the legal fraternity and a

growing need for them in the medical industry, especially for cancer patients undergoing treatment.
Another interesting story is how wigs are made... But that is for another aion kinah .

Wedding Dresses - What To Wear

You have begun to plan your wedding and you want your wedding to be special and unique to your and your future spouse. There are traditions and superstitions that have grown around the wedding ceremony, the bride, and what the bride wears in particular. Let's take a look at some of them.

Q. Does the color of the dress really matter?

Most brides wear white to symbolize maidenhood. White also is the symbol of purity and virginity. Cream and Ivory are also acceptable colors and they carry the same symbolism as white.

Q. Are there rhymes about wedding customs?

There are several but let's look at just two of them. There is the well known

1. Something old, something new; Something borrowed, something new, and a six-pence in her shoe.

This rhyme talks about different color wedding dresses and what they mean.

2. Married in white, you've chosen right. Married in blue, your love will always be true. Married in peaRl, you will live in a whirl. Married in brown, you will live in town. Married in red, you'll wish yourself dead. Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow. Married in green, ashamed to be seen. Married in pink, your spirit will sink. Married in gray, you'll go far away.

Q. What types of dresses are appropriate for different times of the day?

A formal daytime wedding is when the bride wears a white, ivory or pastel colored floor length gown with a train and a long veil.

For a formal evening wedding, the bride would wear the same type of dress as for the daytime formal but with more elaborate train and fabric.

For a semiformal daytime wedding, the bride usually wears a white or pastel colored floor or tea length dress with an elbow length or shorter veil.

For a semiformal evening wedding a more elaborate fabric and trim can be used but the dress and the veil is the same as for the semiformal daytime wedding.

For an informal wedding the bride can wear a white or pastel colored floor or tea length dress. She could also wear a dressy suit. A short veil or a hat is optional.

Q. Why does the garter get thrown by the groom?

It was thought to be good luck to get a piece of the bride's clothing or flowers, you would receive good fortune. In the 14th century Europeans gathered around the bride to try to remove her garter for good luck. In order to get away the bride would throw her bouquet into the crowd. The groom removes her garter and tosses over his shoulder to the crowd. The single man who catches the garter gets the privilege of putting the garter on the single woman who caught the brides bouquet.

Q. Do traditions exist in reference to the bride's shoes?

One tradition said that the father of the bride would give the groom a pair of the bride's shoes to symbolize the passing of the responsibility of the care of the daughter to the groom.

A bride puts a penny in her shoe to ensure that she and her husband will have good luck and wealth.

Q. Why is it bad luck for a bride to wear pearls?

An old superstition from Mexico says that the bride should not wear pearls on her wedding day because they are the tears she will cry during her marriage.

Q. What is the Dorothy Bag?

The Dorothy Bag was originally called the Dolly Bag and was carried by the bridesmaids. They were full of confetti to throw at the bride and groom after the ceremony. In more modern times however the bride carried the Dorothy Bag as a small purse with some personal effects. Most brides now carry the bag with a bridal handkerchief a penny or quarter and it is used to carry cards and money in, so they can use it on their honeymoon.

Q. Why is it that the groom should not see the bride in her outfit before the

ceremony?

The groom should not see his bride before the wedding because it is believed to mean that the marriage is doomed. Years ago, marriages were arranged and the couple didn't set eyes on one another till after the wedding ceremony. It was after the ceremony that the veil was lifted and the groom and bride were able to kiss which is the symbol of a beginning of a physical relationship. The reasoning was that if the groom saw his bride before the wedding and didn't like her looks he might cancel the wedding. This had the potential of dividing two countries or regions because marriages were often between tribes or countries.

Q. Why do some brides leave the last stitch undone until just before she is ready to leave for the wedding?

This stems from the superstition that it is unlucky for a bride to wear her complete outfit before the big day. Some brides leave the last stitch undone to ensure good fortune.

Q. Do I have to adhere to any of these traditions or superstitions?

No of course you don't have to use them you can make your wedding your own. It might be interesting though to look at your cultural history and see what superstitions or traditions might be unique to your heritage. The Celtics have many superstitions and traditions surrounding weddings and brides in particular. The world's religions often have their own traditions, rites, or superstitions. If you and your future spouse have a different heritage it might be fun to see if you can use some from each of your cultures. This would make your wedding unique and probably fun.

Digg Dialog with Tony Hawk

I just proposed a question for the Digg Dialogg coming up with Tony Hawk. My question is: "As an athlete who has shared ramps with professional bikers such as Mat Hoffman and Dave Mirra, how do you justify the Tony Hawk Foundation building parks that do not allow bikes to ride them?"

If you have a Digg account, please head over and Digg this question up! http://digg.com/dialogg/Tony_Hawk_1?t=28974105#c28974105
