Dry, itchy and cracked skin goes hand in hand with winter season. Change in temperatures and humidity, indoor heating, hot showers and bath remove important oils and moisture from the skin causing dryness, flakiness and cracking of the skin. If you think, winter equals to dry cracked skin with no or very less preventative measures, think again. Read on for some TLC for your winter weary skin -

- Bathing - Hot water bath breaks body oil that is easily washable. If you cannot avoid hot bath, add oils like almond, sesame or other bath oils to your water. Alternatively you can add milk to your bath water. It restores the oils leaving it soft and supple.

- Cleanse & Exfoliate - Before you begin your bath, exfoliate your skin with loofah. Avoid strong base ingredients and anti bacterial products; opt for gentle moisturizing revitalizing products.

- Drink at least 8 - 10 glasses of water every day. By keeping your skin well hydrated, your skin will not suffer from dryness, rashes and itchiness. Avoid excessive usage of caffeine beverages that strips moisture from the skin.

- Moisturize properly and your skin will remain soft and supple all through winter. Use moisturizer that has the necessary vitamins and hydration properties for your skin. One should apply moisturizer within a minute or so of having a shower or bath. Damp skin traps the water in the upper layers and decreases dryness and itching.

- Keep petroleum jelly nearby. Dab some of it on problem areas to seal the moisture and heal the dry skin. You can rub it on all the dry areas of the body. It is very soothing backup substitute.

- If possible, try taking a multi vitamin pill that has good dose of vitamins B, C & E. It will help your skin as well as ward off common cold. Avoid overdose multivitamin pills for adverse effects.

- Use sunscreen in winter as you would in summer. Ideal sunscreen is one which is light, oil free and has SPF 15.

- If you can afford to going to spas for luxurious and rejuvenating treatments for winter weary skin, there is nothing like it. Spa and other hydration treatments super hydrate your skin.

There is in fact a large market for second hand wedding gowns. A lot of brides will try to seek for such second hand items in order to save more money for their big day. Yet you have to remember that you must keep your gown in a really good condition otherwise no one will be eager to purchase your dress. You can donate the money you get from your dress and help the others. This will make your wedding more meaningful.

Your Money or Your Health

 

Poor and Minorities Stand to Lose Big in Game over Gas

By Carol Forsloff

Before you count those chips you want or got already, you might want to think about your life. Because like the gambler whose greed gets in front of good sense, Louisiana citizens of North and Central regions as well as other parts of the country now face choices that could risk much. Scientific evidence and experiences from around the United States warn that natural gas drilling might affect health, short term and permanent.

Louisiana has been driven by oil and gas for decades, trading its environment for the kind of green that hasn't led to community good. In fact trickle-down methods for wealth distribution haven't advanced Louisiana's poll standings in quality of life, education or health. What's at stake now is life, so proponents of its value might want to check whether it trumps greed for gas in the game going on over shale.

The Haynesville Shale, touted as one of the United States' largest natural gas strikes and perhaps one of the largest in the world, brings old guards back to political tables for deal-making while wannabes gather everywhere, including the Internet where folks can sign up for meetings and what not. They've gathered in Natchitoches, Louisiana in recent months with money the obvious interest. Even many in the Ark-La-Tex media celebrate with headlines about rural people getting checks transforming them to modern day versions of Beverly Hillbilly millionaires. (Haynesville shale fuels record Mineral Board sale, 2008)

Natural gas drilling called "hydraulic fracturing," has been shown to affect water supplies and the health of people in areas where it has taken place, such as Alabama, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming, where residents have reported incidents of changes in water quality or quantity following fracturing operations. Some of these residents have also reported serious health problems. (Hydraulic Fracturing of Oil and Gas Wells, 2006)

The process used for hydraulic fracturing was exempted in 2005 from the Clean Water Act. Personal water needs are risked when gas companies put chemicals into acquifers that produce household water supplies in an unregulated fashion. (Ferrell, 2008) Gas companies take fresh water out in millions of gallons after putting in chemicals that can potentially pollute. They don't have to report how much water is used or what's done with what's been chemically treated leftover after drilling takes place. (Hileman, 2008)

What's worrisome is who's involved and what's at stake. Potential involvement of Dick Cheney, the current Vice President, needs careful review because of his close association with Schlumberger and Halliburton who provide equipment for hydraulic drilling. (Hileman, 2008) Public officials make deals for drilling on public lands, gambling the future of citizens without all the facts disclosed. (Haynesville shale fuels record Mineral Board sale, 2008) Oil and gas and government men who applaud drilling like this should raise questions for us all about what's involved and who's involved both nationally and locally before we take risks. Because the rich can always take their winnings off the table early, leaving the minorities and poor to suffer the consequences of losing.

Do you feel that your existing garden needs a makeover? Has your garden become a wasteland of plants needing trimming or has your plants started to develop weeds as their neighbors? Do you want your garden to be a place where you can relax and unwind, have a romantic dinner, or a picnic with family and friends? If you feel that your garden needs a face lift, then you might think about doing some landscaping. If you have the financial capability, you could hire talented professionals to get the job done. But if your budget is tight, you can actually get the job done yourself by putting your creative juices to work and enlisting someone's help like a family member or a friend to be of assistance.

If you plan on doing the task of landscaping yourself, it is important that you have a clear, mental picture of how you would want your garden to exactly look like. Draw it out and have a theme or point of interest in mind. Try to picture out how you would want the plants to be arranged and where the flowers will be situated. Have in mind the kinds of plants that you would be planting and the types of flowers that you would want to be blooming in your garden. Imagine how you would divide the space especially if constrained or limited. Don't make your garden look boring by positioning plants in traditional rows. True, planting them in such a manner makes your garden look neat and tidy but try to create unique arrangements that would make your garden stand out. It is imperative that you do not make an effort to copy your neighbor's garden. I don't think your neighbor will be too happy about it if he knows you are making a carbon copy of his garden. Attempt to group the same flowers in a certain location to create a bold splash of color or if you desire the mix of different colors in an area try mixing the flowers of different colors together in one area.

Think about whether you want your garden to have a tree or several trees for that matter. You can even try to put in it a pond where you can have fishes. A small pathway of rocks could give balance to your garden. You can even have flowering vines climb over your fences to create interest.

Beautifying your garden rests in your hands. With some creativity and imagination, you are well on your way to having that dream garden you've been wanting.

Even if you're deeply in love with your partner, there will be times when it feels like you are miles apart. This is natural, but that doesn't make it any less uncomfortable. To help you maintain a healthy and peaceful relationship, you can use Feng Shui. As with any relationship, energy shifts are par for the course. But that doesn't mean you simply need to endure them in order to regain your relationship mojo. Why not try to keep the peace all the time?

When the Waters are Rough

Things happen in every relationship that make us upset at the other person. But in order to restore the happiness we crave, we need to realize that changes are necessary. As a couple, you can use these Feng Shui techniques to begin to smooth out the rough patches.

Start by looking at the relationship corner of every room in your home or apartment - this is the further right hand corner from the doorway. If things are messy and cluttered, it might be time for some cleaning. Any chaos in these areas is going to hinder the proper energy flow of your relationship. Take some time every day to ensure these areas are clear and clean. You will also want to look in this area to see if you have any singular images or items present. These can often stimulate the energy of singular-ness, which is the opposite of what you want in your relationship.

Together, you might also want to buy a plant that you can nurture together, just as you want to nurture your relationship. By taking care of the plant on a daily basis, you can boost the energy that cultivates your own relationship to each other. Take turns watering the plant and caring for it - but also take time to nurture the plant together.

Open up the windows of your bedroom as often as you can to let in healthy new energy. The breeze will help you move out any stagnant energy, while also infusing your space with peace. This is also a good time to look around for anything that might be broken in your home. Broken items attract negative and broken energy - not what you want when your relationship is suffering. Get rid of these items or fix them.

In addition, you will want to remove anything from your home that might remind you of bad times in your relationship. These items are only attracting negative energy back into your relationship - who needs that?

Long Term Happiness is Simple

Yes, you can live happily ever after. But you still need to do some work in order to guarantee it. First of all, you want to nurture steady energy in your relationship - never too high or too low. You can begin to enhance this steadiness by adding neutral colors to your bedroom. This doesn't mean you can't have any bright colors, but you should try to balance that color scheme overall. In addition, if your bedroom is too feminine or too masculine, you will want to balance this out as well. You want your bedroom to be as neutral as possible, balancing out the energies of your relationship.

Try buying new bed sheets to help improve the energy of your relationship from this point forward. Choosing the bed sheets together will help you feel rejuvenated and renewed. And start collecting pictures of your good times together as these will help you whenever the times get tough again. Keep your bedroom door open too, as much as possible, to let in new energy and keep your romance alive.

No matter what the state of your relationship is, Feng Shui can help keep your love feeling like as good as it did when you first found it.

This article is about your first time girl on girl sex.

Here are some tips for your first female bisexual.

There’s an awful lot wrapped up in your first lesbian sexual encounter. Being nervous is normal. It might be your first time having sex or your first time having sex with another woman. There’s much cultural hype about “your first time” or “losing your virginity.” You never forget your first time. Here’s a few tips to get you through your first time lesbian sexual experience.

1. Know your own body. Before you can turn someone else on, it’s good to know what makes you hot. Masturbation is good. Spend some one-on-one time with yourself. When you touch yourself and find the places which feel pleasurable, you’ll know where to touch her.

And more importantly, how to convey to her what turns you on.

2. I suggest you go sober. You want to remember your first lesbian sexual experience. Alcohol or drugs can lower your inhibitions and make the first move easier, but you’re not as likely to do or say something regrettable if you stay sober.

3. Fantasize heavily. This all begins with a hot fantasy. If you’re ready to sleep with another woman, you must have thought about it. What are your thoughts? Does she throw you down on the bed, strip you naked and have her way with you? Or do you go skinny dipping in your backyard pool and start kissing all over? You must imagine it before you can do it.

4. Leave all your sex toys in the drawer. There will be plenty of time to learn about and play with them. Let your first time be a simple and natural flesh on flesh love.

5. Relax. Take your sweet time. Touch her all over. Don’t go straight for her crotch. Undress her very slowly, appreciating every newly exposed piece of flesh. Kiss her elbows. Touch her and kiss her breasts. Blow softly in her ear. Kiss her neck and back. Caress her belly, her inner thighs. Kiss and lick behind her knees. Smell under her arms. Massage her buttocks. Slowly suck on her fingers. Become naked and lay your body on top of hers. Grind one-another, There’s so much erotic fun you can have before you ever even touch her pubic area. Enjoy.

When you do get down to her crouch area, Slowly lick up her thighs and kiss her vulva. Spread her legs and open her lips with your fingers. Take a look. Tell her how beautiful she looks.

Use your tongue. Your whole tongue. Flatten it out. Use just the tip. Lick her like an ice cream cone. Flick it like a butterfly wings. Use gentle strokes. As her excitement builds, add more pressure. Focus more on the area around her clit.

6. Communicate. Ask her what she desires. Ask her if what you’re doing feels good ans sensual. Tell her where you like to be touched. Communication is a very important key to any good sexual relationship. If she’s doing something you really like, moan or purr to let her know that feels good.

7. Have a realistic expectation. Your very first time with a girl should be about getting to know her body, getting to know how to turn her on and learning what your chemistry is all about. Orgasm may or may not occur the first time. It's okay. The important point is to become physical, get close, express your feelings of love or desire.

Girl on Girl sex can be a fascinating experience, one which you will probably one to do over and over again. I know I have !!

When you follow a Magick path, your success in that path depends on your ability to focus charged energies, and send them out into the universe to get whatever you desire.

If you ignore your connection to Magick energy, it will weaken – as will your power. They are especially important for beginner wiccans.

“Daily devotions” are things you do on a daily basis to strengthen the ability to control your inner Magick energy. A devotional routine helps to raise the energy daily, at various times.

Think of daily devotionals as short rituals of energy. They strengthen your connection, and also bring positive energies into your life.

Above all else you want to pick a routine that is right for you – and follow it every single day!

You can do all of your chosen devotionals at one time, or you can spread them out through the day. Find something that works within your schedule, and follow it.

Your devotionals can be anything that brings positive emotion into your heart. It can be something as simple as making diary entries into your Book of Shadows every night before bed. In your Book of Shadows, keep track of where negative patterns are in your life, and work to build on the positive ones in your mind – and in the Book of Shadows.

Another devotional “mini” ritual you can follow is to spend at least a few minutes breathing, meditating, and visualizing positive things to create positive energy in your life. You can even use the meditation exercise that I gave you previously in this book.

Here are a list of some devotionals that you can do every day. There is not a need to do all of them, but pick ones that you feel most comfortable with:

Morning wake-up devotional
Connecting to the Lord and Lady
Connecting to the Divine, Infinite Energy
Greeting Devotionals to the Spirits or Elements around you
Connecting to Nature and the Earth Mother
Journaling
Food Blessing Devotional
Breathing
Meditation
Visualization Exercises
Playing with Energy

Remember, none of the devotionals you do should tire you out. And you should never be in a situation where you “dread” doing them. You should look forward to them – so make sure you select ones that work best for you.

Most of the devotionals above are self-explanatory, and you can “create” these devotionals any way that you wish. There are no “hard and fast rules” when doing your daily devotionals. (I demonstrate some of them in the Witchcraft Academy In-A-Box)

For now, I will walk you through the simple but powerful “Playing with Energy” daily devotional.

Sit in a comfortable position, and begin the basics of the meditation exercise from earlier in this book. Once you have dropped into the stage of slowing your breathing, open your eyes.

Take your hands, palms facing, and briskly rub them together. While you are doing this, start calling the energy from around you into your body. Hold your hands out in front of you, palms facing each other, about twelve to eighteen inches from your face. This works best of you have a solid, dark background in the direction you are facing.

Focus first on your hands, and sending the energy in your body out the palms. When you feel the flow is good and strong, shift your focus to just past your hands, at a point on the background beyond them. Can you see the ethereal, nebulous energy between the palms?
It may take some time for you to see it, but keep working at it, you will. Once you can see the energy there, concentrate on making it brighter and darker, increasing the flows and lessening the flows. Keep playing with the energy on a regular basis, until you get comfortable with how to manipulate it to do what you want it to do.

Once you have reached that point, start playing further with the energy. Form it into a ball, move your hands closer and further apart, seeing the ball change in size and intensity.
As you get the hang of each one (over days, not minutes!), try different shapes and sizes. Play with the energy and get comfortable with its existence. This is the same energy you use in order to cast magick. Seeing it in solid form, even if there is still an ethereal quality to it, helps to strengthen your belief, and raise your levels of energy even higher.

Who do you know that reflects a "Magnificent Self?" We all know someone. Oprah is a prime example of someone who embraces her Magnificent Self. She uses her passions and multitude of resources to motivate and inspire others. She shines her light brightly into places of darkness to wake-up the world, call together other bright lights and beckon us all into oneness. It is important to know that we each have a Magnificent Self waiting to be expressed and shared with the world. It is a Self that comes from within. You can't stand in the bright light of another Magnificent Self and become Magnificent, it doesn't work that way. People of Magnificence ask you to cultivate and develop the qualities of greatness within so that you can become your own Magnificent Self!

Where do you begin? Here are just a few qualities that define a Magnificent Self:

1. Take 100% responsibility for yourself and your actions: You are 100% responsible for your perceptions, reactions and your responses to life. You are 100% responsible for how you experience the events of your life. When you are willing to take full responsibility for life, you no longer blame or accuse others for things not working in your life. You are empowered to make apologies, clear up misspoken conversations and make amends quickly. You commit your energy to bringing life together in a healthy, loving flow.

2. Live in the Spirit of Abundance Being in the flow of abundance is key to knowing there is always enough. "Enough" is measured in terms of ideas, creativity, time, money, opportunities, and of course love. Letting go of a belief in "lack" or "not enough" is paramount to being a Magnificent Self. It also supports you in letting go of having the desire to compete or have more. As you claim your plenty, you are able to take all you need and give back more knowing there is always enough.

3. Gratitude is a Magic Key Living with an "attitude of gratitude" gives you an open perspective of life. Gratitude keeps the energy of life flowing. Gratitude is the key that helps you breathe in life more fully and allow its experiences to expand both your inner self and your vision of possibilities.

4. Know the Divine Paradox of Life Understanding this concept plays a tremendous role in how you navigate life's speed bumps. Situations that appear to "get in your way" are the very experiences you need to "overcome" in order to get where you are going. The journey to expressing your Magnificent Self happens one-step-at-a-time. When you become sidetracked, discouraged or stuck and begin to spin your wheels, step back and be 100% responsible for your perception. As you change the energy of the little things that "get in your way," you are actually taking the next step forward.

5. Live by a Higher Wisdom Living by a higher wisdom lets you know you are an intricate part of life's complex puzzle. When you connect to your higher wisdom, you are linked to your Magnificent Self. Living in this consciousness supports you in thinking "outside the box" and in creating habits that support life, not take it away.

6. Your Life is Your Message Knowing that entire your life's purpose is to deliver a message, you are committed to giving your Magnificent Self back to the world as a gift. Your life has a higher purpose and meaning. You are authentic. You walk your talk. You practice what you preach and you know you are making a difference in the world; shining your light on others so they too have the opportunity to experience living as their Magnificent Self!

Take a moment and remember, you cannot be an audience member to become your magnificent self. Being on Oprah or simply listening to her messages isn't the answer. Thinking like Oprah is. You must be a participant in your own life's story, deliver your own messages and generate your own light. Only then can you truly reflect your Magnificent Self.

If you cannot remember when was the last time you went out shopping for clothes due to your limited budget, perhaps there is a solution for you not to feel "out of fashion" anymore. Garnishing and remodeling clothes is not only an interesting idea for you to pass your time with, but it can actually help you renew your wardrobe with the minimum amount of money possible.

Transforming clothes was always connected with providing many important functions for human activity. In addition, transformed clothes are a byproduct of creativity and ingenuity. Being a stylish person is not easy. Thus, improving your clothes' demeanor as an act of conscious fashion shift towards contemporary refashioning of secondhand clothing is actually rather progressive. Experiencing the new character of that same old pair of jeans you have bought three years ago, can be the outcome of your dedication to commit some time and renew its old fit. A few cuts, at the right places, some foe crystals on its back pockets, a monogram on the thigh, a gold sparkling textile marker across the waist, are some of the things that can help you transform your used clothing and attract other peoples' attention to your unique style illustrated by your personally crafted fashionable creations.

Additionally, transforming old clothes, in any way, can become your new potential value to another social group. You might even discover a hidden talent while in the process. A number of people, who have begun remodeling or garnishing their clothes due to need or as a new hobby, experienced tremendous success through their hand-made creations and entered the fashion industry from the backstage. The "one-piece" deal is a strong marketing incentive when people need to convey through their clothes the feeling of being different; this need grows worldwide as globalization transcends all known boarders-especially that of fashion. By selling their creations to a variety of clothing stores, or more recently online, these clothes re-crafters reintroduced an old idea, which became an instant urban trend.

Thus, next time you look frustrated the resources you have available in your closet, instead of wasting time and money in trying to figure out what to wear for a night out, why not using your imagination along with some of your other skills to renovate the pieces of your wardrobe that need a little sparkle again to shine? Apart from it being a great idea to spend some quality time alone, redesigning clothes can also open up new career horizons; at least it can amuse you and your friends. Transforming an old skirt into an apron or a pillow case, garnishing your worn-out pants with silver spray suitable for textile painting, altering the length of your old simple black dress, or engraving your initials on your leather bag may be some of the alterations you can perform to your possession and enter a party with a redesigned style. The most important thing is that you will be able to congratulate yourself when one will gaze your looks and admire your stylish appearance. Most importantly, you will know that no fortune was spent on that "unique" piece of clothing you are wearing. Isn't that a sweat deal?

Unless you're able to license your invention right away, you will need to seek out invention manufacturing services. It is possible that even if you do license your invention, you will still be responsible for finding an adequate manufacturer.

Obviously, you need to sell your invention in multiple units to make the most from it. So you need to find a way to make these multiple units efficiently and inexpensively.

As I'm sure you realize, you don't need your own factory to manufacture your invention.

You may use a single manufacturing company or multiple companies depending on the complexity of your invention. When using a multiple source, it is helpful if one of the sources agrees to assemble the finished product; otherwise, you will need to outsource the assembly of the parts.

Visiting and researching a number of invention manufacturing service providers will help you uncover the lowest cost, highest quality method for making your invention in bulk. For example, should you use a plastic injection mold? Or should it be steel? Or aluminum?

It is important for you to stay within your budget. Therefore, you must have an idea of how many units you expect to sell. This is called a forecasting. In the early stages, when you initially launch your invention to the marketplace, you may want to (or need to) start out small. But if your invention is a wild success, you will need more of your product made quickly. Be sure the invention manufacturing service provider can accommodate this situation in a reasonable manner.

Keep in mind you will also need a warehouse to store your inventory. Some manufacturing services will store your completed product for you; otherwise you will need to find a separate warehouse.

Lastly, you will need your manufacturers to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you ever disclose your invention to them. In addition, when you decide on a particular invention manufacturing service, new ideas may spring up as you work out the details of manufacturing. Be sure you get a signed document stating any ideas that develop during this manufacturing process will belong to you.

If you can stand it, rinse hair in cold water. This allows the hair molecules to shrink and carries away all unnecessary layers. The hair will be easier to comb.

Pour a dab of rinse into your palm and apply with strokes to the length of your hair. Then rinse once more but with lukewarm water.

When you step out of the shower, use a hand towel to get rid of excess water. Try to comb through the hair with your fingers, as long as it remains wet. Never brush when wet. Hair has a certain elasticity and can stretch from 1/8 to 1/6 of its original length. Luckily the hair normalizes itself when dry. When wet, it behaves like an over stretched rubber band and breaks. Use instead a wide-toothed tortoise shell comb to untangled and smooth out your hair.

Part the hair in small sections and begin 5cm above the ends to comb it out. When the entire lower section is untangled, go approximately 20cm up from the bottom and comb the hair in narrow strands through to the underside. Continue until you reach the scalp and all is tangle-free.

There are different washing methods for you to use at different times and for different types of hair. Wet your hair and apply a tablespoon of shampoo until a rich lather develops. Remember to wash the ends of your hair as well as your scalp. Rinse and always shampoo again. The first wash removes superficial dirt and oils; the second deep cleans. Towel dry excess water.

Apply one tablespoon of conditioner to entire head and leave on twelve minutes. Rinse well. The 12 Minute Conditioner will work well at room temperature.

Pour one teaspoon into your hand. Apply only to the ends of your hair and half way up the hair’s shaft, not on the scalp. Rinse well.

Flowers are the dressing that can transform a wedding dress from beautiful to stunning or a photograph from plain to perfect.

They can make your wedding photographs look bright and colourful and mirror your own personality.

Make sure that you look at all your options before deciding on your wedding bouquets and don't be satisfied with what is available at your local florist if you've seen something elsewhere that you desire.

If you're florist can't deliver the arrangements that you want then look elsewhere as there are a lot of options available to you.

The big online flower retailers can get you almost anything you like even from other parts of the world if you so desire. It really is just a matter of finding what you want and paying for it.

Finances will dictate what you can afford in many instances but this is one area where you shouldn't short change if possible.

If you get all your flower arrangements from the same florist you should be able to get a good deal. It will certainly make the coordination of your wedding plans a lot easier.

There are many options available so don't be satisfied with anything other than the best for you.

There is such a huge variety of lovely flower arrangements that are available these days that it can be difficult to decide on which arrangement to use.

Fortunately there are a lot of magazines that feature the various wedding arrangements that will help with your decision-making.

Another good area of research is with the flower companies that have their businesses online on the Internet as they are catering to a vast market and they generally have the widest range of flower arrangements available.

They are also up with the latest trends - and yes there are trends with flower arrangements that change from year to year.

If the wedding party clothing is in neutral colours then it makes it a lot easier to choose whichever flowers you prefer. If the bridesmaids have specific colours in their dresses then you will need to coordinate the flowers with these so the overall look of the wedding party is cohesive.

When choosing your flowers and the colour schemes that you intend to use they will need to complement your clothing, your bridesmaids clothing and the decorations that you intend to use at your reception and even your choice and decoration on your wedding vehicles.

All the decisions made in the planning of your wedding flowers should consider all aspects of the wedding just as you would if you were painting a picture.

This is where a wedding planner can come in handy as they are experienced at planning the whole process and know how to put the whole package together to look as one.

Flowers are so important that it is well worth spending your time on good research.

You should also consider getting your flowers from a reputable online flower store as they are in the business of delivering flowers in top condition on time all the time and this is so important on your wedding day.

Almost as fun as planning your wedding is planning your honeymoon. You want your first trip together as husband and wife to be memorable and it's tempting to take an 'anything goes' approach. After all, you're likely to get lots of wedding gifts in the form of cold, hard cash so why not?

Well for one, you want to be able to eat and see the sights when you arrive, so you've got to use some discretion when making your arrangements. Many couples find that it is possible to have a great honeymoon, even if they're sticking to a budget and all it takes is some planning.

When is the best time to plan the honeymoon? Obviously sooner is better, especially if you intend to travel to a popular destination during peak season. But at a minimum, while you are putting together your wedding budget, it's a good idea to allocate funds for this adventure together and work from there.

To help determine an appropriate budget, you've got to think about your possibilities, and of course, you've got to be realistic. A good way to start planning your honeymoon is to think about the things you both like to do in your free time, think about places you've only dreamed of visiting, and think about what you realistically intend to do while away. You can also use the Internet or a travel agent to help you come up with honeymoon ideas.

Once you've selected a destination, it's time to get busy making your travel arrangements. Special deals are out there, but you've got to be aggressive in your search for them. Don't despair; it'll likely be worth the effort. And the great deals might not always involve getting the lowest price. It's the extras that'll turn this ordinary trip into something extraordinary. Perhaps the deal includes getting a suite with a breathtaking view, or being greeted with a bottle of champagne.

When you're down to only 3 months left until the wedding date, you should have your travel arrangements firmly in place. Know where you're going, how you're getting to the airport (after the reception) and once you arrive at your destination, how you'll be getting to your accommodations. Once you're in place, the rest of the vacation can run its course. If you wish, you can plan some day trips in advance. This far out, also make sure vaccinations and passports are current, if applicable.

A few weeks before your departure, start gathering the things you'll bring with you on your honeymoon: camera and film/memory cards, swimsuits, day and evening wear, traveler's checks, tickets, documents, confirmation numbers for ALL reservations (including person's name if possible), and a bit of local currency for tipping. Set aside somewhere safe.

Then as the approaching days become more stressful than you can handle, close your eyes and picture yourselves lazily lying around your honeymoon suite, with not a care in the world except how soon you'll be able to return!

The sad fact is that many relationships fail and what is worse that they fail because neither partner knows how to try and save their relationship or maybe simply don't want to try because they don't know how!
