Purchasing the air tickets in bulk from airfare consolidators that already have their commissions set with airlines proved valuable to many of the travel service providers. The business is made flexible for both consolidators as well as the travel agencies. Read the full article

Through food, humans are connected together and food comes from the essence of society, creation and the heart of society

Food sustains life, yet it is so much more than something we need to nourish our bodies. Food at its essence is love, life and the heart of society. Food brings people together. It is the shared flavors of friendship and community. We like being with others enjoying the tastes and textures of food. Often through these shared experiences intimacy develops, memories exist and relationships thrive. We fondly remember childhood food experiences, often wishing to duplicate those tastes that remind of us of home. Food is at the center of our sense of family and relationships. Certain aromas transport us back in time to the people and places we care about. We remember family picnics and food festivals. No matter who we are or from which culture we come, every society gives careful thought to the daily preparation of meals for family, friends or even strangers. Food means love. This is true whether we are the cook or the one who eats. Food is at the heart of society. We learn how to behave in society and interact with others in life based on the kind of eating ritual we experienced growing up. We are connected to others near and far through foods. We are interdependent because of global trade and commerce. The food on our tables comes from farmers everywhere throughout our planet. Food, more than any other element in society, binds us together. Our lives are emotionally impacted by food production around the world. Read the full article

Why Do People Have Different Fashion Styles

The term fashion style simply refers to the way a particular person wears her/his clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories. It can also be determined by the types of clothing items that she/he wears in a given situation. Fashion styles may differ from one person to another because of so many reasons. It can because of a person's age, taste, gender, budget, the situation or the environment. To start with, a teen's fashion style is definitely different from an adult. Teens are more prone to be influenced by magazines, famous celebrities, movies and their friends compared to adults. They also love to wear more colorful clothes and accessories which are in contrary to what adults wear. Adults prefer to wear clothing items with conventional color particularly when they are at work because such clothes are formal to look at. They also differ on their hair styles or on how they get their hairs done. It is another fact that every person has different tastes not only when it comes to foods but also in clothes, shoes, bags, hair styles and accessories. There are people who love to wear different types of accessories like bangles, charm bracelets, necklaces and rings that match their outfits and there are those that are not brave enough to make a loud fashion statement. These people are the types that just want to keep everything simple but elegant. This simply proves that they have different fashion tastes and perceptions. Read the full article

3 Tips To Reaching Your Health and Fitness Goals With A Busy Lifestyle

Life has this sneaky way of creeping in and throwing curve balls left and right. Life will always happen. There will always be a busy day at work or family problems or relationship highs and lows or sick children. Once conflict arises, it seems like health and fitness routines go haywire. We seek comfort food or we just don't feel like moving. These are the things that help us stay clear and balanced in both body and mind though! So what do we do when conflict smacks us in the face (and it happens to everyone so if you're reading this - you're not alone)? Avoiding the conflict is not reasonable because we can't always control what comes at us. Figurine out how to navigate through any issues is what needs to happen to stay on track. I think so many times we approach health and fitness goals with an "all or nothing" mindset. For example, you might think your day is ruined because you veered off of your diet with an unhealthy meal or snack. Or, you decided not to workout today because you couldn't do the allotted 60 minutes that you had planned for. Instead of doing something, you may have chosen nothing at all. You gave up on day two of 30 days of clean eating. Do any of those sound familiar? It doesn't have to be all or nothing and something is better than nothing. My tips below might give you some perspective on how to reach your health and fitness goals even when life throws you a curve ball. My philosophy is nourish, movement, mindset. Read the full article

Here are 20 tips that women should apply to protect themselves from attack

1. Act in the daylight and avoid dark places at night. Women are far more likely to be attacked at night in areas that an assailant can easily hide himself or herself. Always park near your destination, and in well-lit areas. 2. Travel in groups. two women are far less likely to be attacked than a single person. The more the merrier, and the likelihood of being attacked drops dramatically 3. Often tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Time is of the essence if you are abducted or injured due to an attack. 4. Hold your keys in your pocket. This will allow you to get into your car more quickly, and they can be used as a weapon if necessary. Carry them between your fingers to strike with if necessary. 5. If you do face an intruder, look into his eyes, and take note of his appearance and build. This is vital in finding the bad guy, and will help prevent him from doing it again. There is a fine line here. Let them know you see them, and are aware fo their presence, but some guys will take too much eye contact as an invitation. 6. When an attack occurs, scream loudly and fight it. You never know who might be near by that can help you, and most attackers will flee if they think they may be caught. 7. Do not make anyone relocate you. Allowing somebody to take you where they know they will not be disturbed will never end well for you. 8. Look out for risk. Take note of places of escape. Make a game of it. I always do this wherever I go. Read the full article

3. Often tell someone where you are going and when you will return.

Time is of the essence if you are abducted or injured due to an attack.

4. Hold your keys in your pocket.

This will allow you to get into your car more quickly, and they can be used as a weapon if necessary. Carry them between your fingers to strike with if necessary.

5. If you do face an intruder, look into his eyes, and take note of his appearance and build.

This is vital in finding the bad guy, and will help prevent him from doing it again. There is a fine line here. Let them know you see them, and are aware fo their presence, but some guys will take too much eye contact as an invitation.

6. When an attack occurs, scream loudly and fight it.

7. Do not make anyone relocate you.

Allowing somebody to take you where they know they will not be disturbed will never end well for you.

8. Look out for risk. Take note of places of escape.

Make a game of it. I always do this wherever I go.

9. Walk with confidence. Don’t pretend to be a victim.

Typically, assailants look for those who will go easily and not put up a fight.

10. Don’t wear amazing jewelry or show off valuable items while you are in public.

Particularly on vacation, people are targeted because their assailant is looking for easy cash. Also, dress moderately. Unfortunately there are sick people out there that could be prompted to attack you based upon what you wear. (Once again, it is important to stress that this is a sad reality, but dressing provocatively does not mean it is OK for somebody to attack them, it can entice somebody that is unstable).

11. Be physically fit.

You will have a far better chance of surviving an attack if you can fight HARD for more than 30 seconds.

12. Be psychologically prepared to defend yourself.

Decide in advance that YOU WILL NOT BE A VICTIM. Be determined to get away from any attacker-at all cost.

13. Scratch

Leaving a mark on your attacker and having his DNA under your fingernails is helpful in prosecuting the right person.

14. Bite

This is not a ‘Fair Fight’ use whatever resources you can to save yourself.

15. Look for items that can be used as weapons.

Use rocks, sticks, your purse… ANYTHING that can help you get away.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B07KFPM619"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "3130e6602b625dead299efcacbc84017";

16. RUN

Get away from the situation as quickly as you can. You are not in a fight. If you are able to escape the situation, do so.

17. Look for, and attack inherent weaknesses.

MY eyeball isn’t any stronger than yours. Poking the eyeball is a great target to help you get away. Other inherent weaknesses are:

Throat

Nose

Temple

Ear Drums

Solar Plexus

Groin

Shin

Toes and Fingers

18. Strike correctly.

You can injure yourself just as badly, if not worse than your attacker if you punch incorrectly. Practice punching with the first two knuckles, with your wrist straight. Gain power by incorporating your torso and your legs.

Use elbows and knees, as well as foot stomps and kicks.

19. If you carry pepper spray or any other weapon, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

Do not carry a weapon that you are not proficient in. Any weapon can be taken away from you and used against you. Be aware of your environment if using pepper spray.

Wind can blow pepper spray back into your eyes, rendering YOU incapacitated. You would be better off spraying it into your hand, and wiping it in your assailant’s eyes.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B0007VM8UC"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "944b9b07c7589d6260b76997ce696dea";

20. Be a survivor

Mike Tyson once said, ‘Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.’

Know that a physical altercation is going to be tough. Keep your wits about yourself, and focus on surviving the attack.

Cover those extra pounds with these plus size weight loss tips

Fashion is not about trends, glamour and all those flashy things. It is all about how you interpret your own style statement. Fashion can mean different things to different people, but if you are on the heavy side, you might have fewer choices. Let’s agree on one thing – the fashion industry has been partial to petite women. They undeniably have the best brands, options, and trends to their benefit.

Thankfully, things have changed considerably in the last few years. These days, we have brands that focus on plus size fashion clothing for women. However, if you are looking to style better, we have a few tips below to help you, and yes, these are just suggestions. Ultimately, you are your best stylist on a budget.

Be Selective About Clothing You Wear

Shop for Shapewear

More, More Shrugs

Stop styling around the issue area

Be Selective About Clothing You Wear

Yes, most plus size women end up buying sizes that are either too large or small for them. Wearing a clingy top won’t add to your shape, and a loose fitting dress will not do any good either. Make sure that you wear the right size. Check online to find a few brands that focus on this segment and have a good range of options. Since the returns are easy with online sellers, you can always order two sizes to find the best fit.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B0833W3VC1"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "b22ed9acca501543133719fef8036f97";

Shop for Shapewear

Shapewear is not meant to bring down your waist size. Instead, the right shapewear will help in toning your body, so that you can wear skirts and dresses without a second thought. Shapewear comes in different sizes and styles, and you can choose a full-body design, which will tone your belly, waist, back and thighs at the same time. Also, if required, spend on a better brand that uses breathable fabrics.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B07S62RGZJ"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "cbfa95c2db3067e050af228f5a485ffd";

More, More Shrugs

If you are unsure of how to pull off a tight top, a shrug or summer jacket is your best friend. Shrugs help in getting the layered look, which transfers the attention to the clothes, instead of your body. Instead of the boring black and blue, go for bright colors that can add some pop element to the entire look. Also, it’s a good idea to choose summer blazers, which can be taken to work, as well.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B075XGSM7P"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "11522514d63c6fa6f32dc39d63b9aa5f";

Stop styling around the issue area

If you are obese, you certainly have a problem area. This can be your midsection or the arms. Depending on your body, avoid wearing clothes that can emphasize those areas. For examples, for a protruding belly, you cannot wear a peplum top. Try to appreciate your highlights. Go for vertical designs, V-necklines, and stripes that will add more style to your regular looks.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B016OJDZE8"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "b7177c351f9f2de6a5a81aeed518cd76";

Finally, don’t forget to experiment. There are no hard and fast rules in fashion anymore. It is all about being comfortable, and for that, you need to try new things. Move out of your regular zone and try things you haven’t tried. You will either win with a chic look or learn from simple fashion mistakes – In both cases, you win!

You could lose weight after menopause by using herbs

Herbs for weight loss are a common subject of discussion among women who are going through menopause. Weight gain is a real issue for many menopausal women. Changes in hormone levels can decrease energy, increase appetite, and contribute to water retention, all of which can lead to excess weight, particularly centered around the mid-section.

There are many different potential methods for addressing this weight gain, among them herbs for menopause. Which herbs are most effective is a matter of some debate, but there are a few that are generally believed to counter the symptoms of menopause and could be a positive factor in losing weight. As with any treatment plan, you should always consult with your doctor before taking herbs or herbal supplements.

Among the herbs for weight loss most often mentioned are dandelion, chasteberry, black currant and black cohosh. All of these herbs have been used for years to ease a variety of symptoms related to menopause and each can also be beneficial when it comes to losing weight. They should be taken in moderation and you should pay heed to the potential side effects they may cause.

Dandelion

Dandelion is a well-known and documented diuretic. Women in Europe have used it for generations to treat urinary tract infections. It is also among the many herbs for menopause weight loss because it helps to control water weight gain without flushing important nutrients from the system at the same time. Some people have experienced allergic reactions to dandelion, so some caution should be applied.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B000I4C20E"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "2d7693b8b3238afceb79d9fe2c9cf71b";

Chasteberry

Since hormone imbalance is such a central part of menopause, the chasteberry is one of the most important herbs for weight loss as it directly affects hormone production. Chasteberry stimulates the production of progesterone, which can help to balance out the lack of estrogen during menopause. By balancing hormone levels, you can improve appetite and increase energy, all of which may make it easier to stick to a weight loss regimen.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B00F1J80UC"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "a72cfae162fe248d85cd4bfb0a419423";

Black Currant

As one of many herbs for menopause treatment, black currant is effective on two separate counts. Not only can it help regulate water weight gain, it also contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, which are central to hormone production. By ensuring that you are getting the proper amount of these vital nutrients, you can help to ease side effects of hormone imbalance that lead to weight gain.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B00DYQ3Z5E"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "7bcb8d4ea6af622f43eaedec6fd2e94a";

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh has been one of the more controversial herbs for weight loss, but it is proven to combat some of the symptoms of menopause that lead to weight gain. Things like depression, mood swings and fatigue may be alleviated by taking black cohosh, and easing these symptoms can lead to increased energy and a lessened tendency to overeat.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B00CQ7PXXE"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "a86659dd9850c17de4391379b4182025";

Of course, herbs to do not provide a cure-all for any problem, including losing weight. The best method for losing weight at any stage of your life remains eating a balanced diet and exercising. But during menopause, when it can be difficult for women to deal with the effects of hormonal changes, having a little natural boost may be just what the doctor ordered.

Few things to keep in mind before planning for Cosmetic Surgery

If you are thinking of a cosmetic surgery, don’t just rush in for a cosmetic procedure, as this is something that can change your life and the way you think about yourself, so best would be to conduct a detailed research about the procedure, find all that you should know about the procedure and then only go for the final surgery, if you are convinced enough.

Here are certain points that you need to consider before undergoing a cosmetic surgery:

Are you doing it for yourself?

Are you medically fit?

Don’t be the lab mice

Do you want to be someone else

Be realistic

Are you doing it for yourself?

At times we hear reasons for cosmetic surgery, such as, I want a breast reduction or a breast augmentation not because I think they are not well, but because my boyfriend or my husband thinks they are not in shape, or I want to do a Botox or dermal filler because I think my husband doesn’t find me attractive anymore, if your reason is something that matches the above mentioned, please do not undergo, because there is nothing that satisfies others need and no matter what results you might attain after your surgery, you will never be happy.

Are you medically fit?

Minor disorders, such as an imbalanced blood pressure can make it tough for you to recover from a major procedure, so before considering any kind of cosmetic surgery it would be best for you to undergo a medical health checkup as prescribed by your cosmetic surgeon, to avoid any kind of complications during or after the procedure.

Don’t be the lab mice:

With rising competition in the field of cosmetic surgery, cosmetic surgeons are always on the run to find new and advanced techniques and they will be experimenting it on you, so if a cosmetic surgeon introduces you with a totally new procedure or technique and tells you that this procedure is better and will enhance your looks, the best would be to ask him about the patients that have already taken the procedure and what were the outcomes and about any possible complication after the procedure.

amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "tacitthoughts-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B000052YOB"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "f788fcb99cf05a1f4e2b1c9a0b6b261e";

Do you want to be someone else?

If you want to undergo this surgery because you wanted to be like your favorite actress or actor, the best would be to ditch your plan for undergoing a cosmetic surgery, reason being no two people can have the same body structure, jawline or lip line or any part of the body, that can exactly be replicated to someone else body. Though your cosmetic surgeon might try to get a close enough result, at the end you will lose your identity. The best would be to stay as natural as you can and try to enhance your own beauty rather than to be like someone else.

Be realistic:

Golden Tips for Wearing Plus-Size Fashion in Style

Gone are times when the fashion industry was inclined towards petite women. Today, plus size women have enough choices in terms of brands and labels, if not more. However, before you shop for plus-size clothing, we have a few tips right below for your help.

Dress Your Size!

That’s the most important rule for any woman, regardless of her shape and current weight. You have to wear something that fits you perfectly. Keep in mind that you cannot hide your body forever, but yes, it is possible to mask the extra pounds. Nevertheless, make sure that you choose a size that fits you. The best idea is to buy two sizes at the same time. You can keep the one that fits you for your current closet, and the other one can inspire you to get leaner.

Wear Your Age!

Yes, that’s right! If you are just 29, you don’t need to dress like 35, just because of your weight. Fashion is all about balancing comfort and style, and it is important to experiment. Try to wear clothes that flatter your body, irrespective of your age. Nothing is off-limits for any lady out there. The only thing you need is confidence in your own style, and if you have that, everything will look as good as expected.

Buy Online!

If you are looking for more choices in plus size dresses for women, it’s best to check online. There are some amazing brands on the web, and some of them ship in all parts of the globe. Instead of choosing a name that makes regular clothes, it is wise to choose a brand that understands and reflects the needs of plus-sized women. You will find more options in prints, sizes, and styles, depending on your requirements.

Follow the Rules!

Some fashion rules are forever. If you love wearing stripes, vertical stripes will look better than horizontal ones. Also, thinner stripes will make you look leaner than big and broad lines. You also need to try darker colors, especially for the evenings. For those who are not fond of black for that leaning effect, navy blue and shades of dark green are the next best options. You also need to try new prints. Smaller prints will surely look better, but again, there are no hard norms to follow in this regard.

Be Open to Ideas!

Follow the leading fashion blogs and websites to find new ideas on plus-size fashion. The trends change every season, so you will find something new to suit your personal style. Experts and fashion gurus advise on trying seasonal ideas because you will find more options. It is also a nice thought to think of classics. Basically, you need to have the right essentials for work and casual days, and once you have the basics, you can keep buying new stuff that meets your fashion demands.

Some women just don’t have petite frames, but that should never really hamper fashion choices. Take a check online and we promise you will find enough for every other day!

Menopause Is No Joke

Let me paint a picture for you.

Yesterday Nashville got its first “snow storm” of the year, it went from 65 degrees to 23 degrees in just 24 hours. The icy winter day turned into an ice and snow filled night. It was windy and cold.

I was getting ready for bed, and the last thing, anymore, that I do is walk over to the thermostat and turn it on. I don’t turn the heat on as one would expect on a night where you looked out the window, and it is as if everything looked like glass. Nope, I turn the air conditioner on, like I do every. single. night. I turn it down to 60 degrees because… menopause.

But last night I decided to give the reins to Old Man Winter and let him cool down my bedroom, so I opened the window by the head of my bed. I didn’t open it like it was 65 degree, sunny, spring day, I opened it like it was 23 degrees and instantly hit in the face with the most glorious cold air. As I crawled into bed the wind was howling through the window, I had just opened, my husband walked into the bedroom. He just looked at me and before he got into bed, he put on some sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt and crawled into bed. I smiled at him, kissed him on the head, and both apologized and thanked him for being so understanding. As I rolled over to turn out the light and grab my earplugs, I was once again hit in the face with that icy air, and as I grabbed my earplugs, I noticed they were a bit frozen. I was worried this wasn’t going to be a good idea.

Fast forward to a few hours later to where I woke up from a dream. In this dream, I was 30 something, and someone was asking me out to dinner. I was so excited in this dream, and as I wake up a little more I realize that not only is it just a dream, but I am laying on top of the all the blankets, wind howling outside, icicles on my window INSIDE. My husband is fast asleep in sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt on the couch!

It was now 2 am and I was wide awake, like make the coffee wide awake and I just laid in bed and thought for a moment. Up until right that very moment, I was good with being a few days away from 51. I was good with having raised two reasonably well-adjusted kids. I was settling into my “Golden Years” just fine. That was until that stupid dream, and I was 30 again. I sat and thought about that dream and determined, there was no way that was actually 30-year-old, Gina. In this dream, this Gina had her life together when the real life 30-year-old Gina was a bit of a train wreck. 30-year-old Gina was a single mom with a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old, two jobs, barely making ends meet and a love life that was questionable at best.

As the hot flash passed, I walked to the living room and grabbed my husband, my husband who if he owned a hat and gloves I’m confident he would be wearing them and brought him back to bed. I laid there on top of the blankets and listened to the combination of the wind howling and my husband snoring and I wondered to myself if this was what a mid-life crisis felt like. Realizing that I was almost 51 and not 30 was unexpectedly sad for me. The only thought I had was that I had lived most of my years and I was on the downward slope of life.

I crawled back under the covers, flipped my pillow to the cold side and as a small icicle tear frozen to my cheek I thought to myself, everything is going to be just fine.
