Jewelry 101 - The Ancient Greek and Roman Contributions.

By Betsy Johnson

The Greeks were known for a lot of incredible things, but little is known of their jewelry. The first true examples we have of Ancient Greek Jewelry is pieces that utilize beads shaped in the form of various animals and shells. Around--00 B.C. they started to utilize gemstones and gold into their various jewelry designs. By the time 300 B.C. had rolled around, they had ventured into the area of colored jewelry that utilized amethysts, pearls, and emeralds. They made cameos from a striped down pink and cream agate known as the Indian Sardonyx. As was the case with most cultures, Greek jewelry designs started off simply, but as time progressed, they grew increasingly more elaborate and complex.

The people of Ancient Greece did not wear jewelry in their daily lives. It was worn during special events, occasions, or public appearances. A common gift for women, it was displayed to show off not only their incredible beauty, but also their social status and tremendous wealth. It was thought that jewelry had mystical powers. Many believed that it could ward off the "Evil Eye" (a look that one person could send your way that would bring you injury or other forms of bad luck). Most of the Greek jewelry of this time period was made from (1) silver, (2) gold, (3) ivory, (4) gemstones, (5) clay, and (6) bronze.

The Ancient Greeks developed two types of jewelry. These types were: (1) cast jewelry pieces and (2) those that were formulated by hammering out sheet metal. We have only a few examples of these cast jewelry pieces available today. They were made by casting the metal onto two moulds made out of either clay or stone. These two moulds were joined together with wax, and molten metal was poured into the center of the mould. This technique had been passed down since the Ancient Bronze Age. Jewelry made from hammering sheet metal was much more common. Sheet metal was hammered to the desired thickness, and then soldered together.

The Ancient Romans also had jewelry designs as part of their culture. The brooch, an item used to secure clothing together, was the most common example of early Roman jewelry. The Roman Empire was vast and huge, and the Romans took full advantage of this size, incorporating a diverse range of materials from far and wide. In the earlier years they utilized a lot of glass beads and pearls, but in later years they utilized bronze and bone and gold. Imported sapphires from Sri Lanka and Indian diamond (along with amber and emeralds), were also incorporated into their jewelry designs.

The Ancient Romans followed the belief set by the Ancient Romans, and felt that jewelry could be used to ward off the "Evil Eye" (a wish from one's enemies that could bring injury or other harm). Women often wore jewelry all over their bodies, while men often only wore a ring on one of their fingers. Some men used their own personal taste and wore a number of rings on a number of fingers.

Some Advice About A Young Russian Woman And Older Western Men

By Mark De Schutter

It should be apparent that the combination of a young Russian woman and older western men is fraught with danger. Why would a young woman from any culture prefer an older man unless her motives were suspicious? While it is certainly a question to keep in the forefront of your mind, on occasion they have perfectly legitimate reasons for their preference. How can you tell?

Before you think about what a younger woman might want with an older Western man, you should take a hard look at your own desires. Are you primarily wanting to find a young sexual partner that you can't find in your own country? If so, you may find what you're looking for, but the price you are likely to pay is high, both financially and emotionally. If you think you will be able to take advantage of her, you're wrong. She holds all the cards. If you think Russian girls prefer sex with older men, you're just mistaken.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a genuine marital relationship with a Russian woman regardless of her age or attractiveness, you have a chance of finding what you want. You just need to be reasonable and cautious.

Most women, young or older, long for fidelity in a marriage or partnership. Sometimes, a young Russian woman has been cheated on by younger men too many times before. She is sick of it and starts looking for a relationship with a more mature gentleman.

An older man's attractiveness to young women often lies in his ability to offer them a higher degree of financial stability than young men can. This does not necessarily equate with their being "gold diggers" looking for a "sugar daddy" to take care of them. If they are sincere and emotionally mature, they may understand that any relationship involves mutual duties and responsibilities, including marital fidelity.

Romantic love as the foundation for a successful marriage is a peculiarly Western notion. Historically, most cultures have been more pragmatic. Arranged marriages were the norm. That may sound cold and calculating, but in fact, many lifelong loving relationships have started just that way, while romantic relationships often fail after just a few years.

A young Russian woman and older western men turn to online dating sites and introduction agencies for a suitable mate. The service you choose will be the key to your success or failure. If you go to a site that has a large number of active subscribers from a variety of backgrounds, you are on the right track. If, however, you go to a site that features scantily clad young women "longing" for an older man just like you, don't waste your time.

Capturing Those Special Pics At Your Wedding Event

By Jude Smith

When you are planning your wedding you are going to want to find an event photographer. You will want them to possess a few qualities such as style, motivation, experience and good communication. Event photographers will only possess these qualities if they are well trained, so make sure they have experience so they can focus on what you want.

Every event photographer will have their own style. You will want to make sure that your ideas about your wedding will coincide with their style. If you don't you could up with a horrible experience. Depending on the style that your event photographer will use will vary. Traditional and wild are two extreme styles of photographers. Traditional pictures will consist of those of the bride herself, the groom himself, the bride and groom together, the wedding party, and everyone all together. Making funny faces and having completely serious faces might be considered a wild style.

An event photographer should be highly motivated, try to find one who is. You do not want to have someone who is inactive and sitting around missing all the good pictures they could be capturing. Motivation isn't just about doing the job, but enjoying it and communicating are also involved.

Over time is the only way an event photographer will gain experience. Make sure you ask your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they attended school and for how long, and who they were employed with before they went into business for themselves (if that is the case). Asking these questions can help you make a clear decision when choosing an event photographer. Ask their previous employer what kind of work they produced if they are now in business for themselves. Its better to find out now even if it is kind of a sneaky way of getting the information.

Being relaxed around your event photographer will make things go smother. When you are around them they should make you feel comfortable as well. This will help them in capturing the precious photos later on at your wedding. If you are nervous around your event photographer you will see that emotion in your wedding pictures.

Tips On Getting Your Ex Back After A Breakup

By Sonja Schuyler

If you have ever experienced a break up, you probably wondered what went wrong and how to get your ex back. Most people have experienced some kind of a break up. While some are doing their best to move on, some are looking for ways to get their ex back. You know it takes some work to get an ex back.

Does breaking up mean that you cannot get back together with your ex? Ninety percent of the time there is really no reason why you can't get an ex back after a break up. You just need to learn what steps are necessary to win your ex back.

Before doing anything else, the first step in getting your ex back is learning what happened that caused the break up in the first place. You can't change what happened in the past but you can learn from the mistakes. You can grow from the experiences.

You need to figure out what went wrong in the first place. Your break up might have happened from one event or it may have occurred from several things. No matter what the reason was that led to the breakup, you need to get it figured out so you can deal with it should it come up again if you want to make the reconcillation last the long term,

A needy person is not the image you want to project. Do not make it obvious that you cannot live without your ex. Stay strong. Be self confident. Remember, you will have a better chance of getting back together if your ex knows that you are doing just fine by yourself.

Don't try being nasty or try to get back at your ex. Also, trying to make your ex jealous is not a good idea. You don't want your ex to move on because he thinks you have. Though you want your ex to see you doing well, you do not want to inspire him or her to completely move on if your goal is to get back together.

Always analyze what went wrong and find out what the problems in your relationship were. What caused the arguments? Which needs weren't being met? Work on rectifying those issues.

For more great techniques, principles and advice, I would recommend the The Magic Of Making Up. It has helped hundreds of men and women just like you win back the mind, heart and soul of the ones they love.

Dating Your Closest Friend

By Abigayle Karla

It is common to hear people wishing that their partner also become their closest pal. However, it is rare to hear people say they want to date their best friend. Is it really possible to date your best buddy in spite of all the bad things that could happen?

Let's first check out the benefits. You already know your partner. You know what is important to him or her; what he or she has been through; what he or she is capable of; his or her fears; his or her family, work, and relationship history; and others. Additionally, you already know your closest pal's character; temperament; and pet peeves. You have been through good and bad times, and have a naturally deep commitment to each other. You also value each other highly. Finally, you already know how to work as a team through the games and pranks that you played. You have respect, faith in each other, and open communication.

Now, let's see why many people discourage you from getting into a relationship with your best friend. If the relationship does not work out, you do not just lose a date you also lose your best buddy. Moreover, when that happens, you may lose mutual friends as well. Expectations are generally higher in relationships than in friendships. This is one of the things that make that relationship with your closest pal difficult.

A breakup between best pals can, moreover, result in extreme emotional and psychological harm unlike a breakup with another lover. It could also cause severe depression due to the loss of both best friend and lover.

Relationship experts all agree that enduring relationships continuously need involvement, open communication, mutual respect, cooperation, and commitment. Listen when you need to, say sincerely how you feel, and tell your partner what you expect. When making decisions, be considerate to each other. Never forget to show how much you love him or her. Agree on what is important and what is not. And, finally, set career, family, and personal goals together.

Therefore, having a relationship with your best pal is possible and may, in fact, work well. Building on the above aspects that have been previously established during friendship will make the relationship work.

How to Impress a Girl If You're Shy

By Brad Jackson

Some men tell me they can't begin learning how to impress a girl because they're shy. If you can relate to this, you are hardly the only one. There are so many of introverted guys who get cold feet when theyre face to face with girls. They stand there and can't say anything.. When I encounter some who need to learn how to impress a girl even with their introverted disposition, I always remind these guys that being shy isn't a handicap. Shyness is a part of your social programming and it can be surmounted.

At this point, you need to ask yourself: are you making use of introversion as an alibi? You bet there are men who tell themselves that they're too shy to learn how to impress a girl and simply give up without trying.

What you probably don't know is that you can take advantage of your shyness to attract women. A lot of women find shy guys adorable, which tells a lot. Theres a level of shyness that appeals to women. In fact, your gentle nature could be the thing that sets you apart from the rest of the guys who are trying hard to act macho. Learn how to impress a girl even if youre the shy type.

How to Impress a Girl - Two Techniques for Quiet Guys

1. Direct the Flow of the Convo

Women dislike overbearing men. This fact is noticeable anywhere you go. But these women dislike men who cant take charge of the conversation even more. So, how do you strike a balance between being too overbearing and letting her talk?

Prod her to talk, but direct the flow of the conversation by asking thought provoking questions. Crack jokes or neg her when she spouts bullshit. Laugh along with her when she tells a joke, and dont forget to take a swipe at her with your own brand of teasing.

When a girl opens up about her interests, that's your opening to get to know her more. Her stories will also tell of her hobbies and whether she is someone you want to spend a weekend with or not.

This style of conversing with a woman builds rapport fast. She will remember you as the guy who completely made her feel at ease talking about herself.

2. Show Her Another Side of Your Personality

Just when she thinks she has you figured out, surprise her with another personality aspect that you haven't shown her yet. Think about it. A woman has a predetermined notion of who you are and what you are about , then when she sees a side of you thats unexpected, she reels in disbelief.

One of the tools you can employ to learn how to impress a girl are magic tricks. The key is to be natural about it, like when you try it while you are in the middle of a discussion, or when the talk is getting boring. She wont see it coming, but she will be pleased that she found a gem of a guy she is utterly attracted to that night.

Real Peace of Mind

By Jamie Brown

This day in age, people are turning to religion in droves. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism has embedded it's ideology in the hearts and minds of millions globally. While all these religions deserve respect and tolerance, few in the west have a grasp on the complicated concept of Buddhism.

The end all and be all of online encyclopedias, Wikipedia grabs the first slot on a Google search for the term Buddhism and the breakdown reads like this: "Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.

He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada, the oldest surviving branch, has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications, a third branch, Vajrayana, is recognized, although many see this as an offshoot of the Mahayana. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world.

Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million." After living abroad in Asia for several years I have found that Buddhist cultures are more tolerant because the focus is on the 'self' and the meditation on the calming of the mind, concentrating on controlled breathing and the idea that meditation to bring one closer to peace is central to discovering one's self.

If you have the opportunity to investigate the practice of Buddhism, I would highly recommend it. I'm not saying to take up the path and convert to a religion but the calming affect that is central to this religions concept will bring a peaceful serenity to your life that you may find useful. All in all respect and tolerance for all religious perspectives is something that people are beginning to make a conscious effort to practice and understanding ideas from various religions can teach us an appreciation that can bring us all closer together.

Top 5 Turn Offs for Ukrainian and Russian Women

By Tony Rockwell

Want to know what turns Russian women off? One well-known dating service recently polled 580 ladies from Russia and the Ukraine to determine what characteristics they cannot stand in men. Here are the results.

5. Dirty, Dirty: Few ladies like men who are dirty and disheveled, therefore it's important to always put your best face forward. To make the best impression, shower, shave, and dress in tidy, wrinkle-free clothing before posing for a photo that you plan to post or send on an international dating website.

4. Rude Boy! It should come as no surprise that women are not attracted to rude men. Therefore it's important that a suitor always treat a lady with kindness and respect. When it comes to Russian dating, common rude behavior includes lying, gossiping, sending crude or sexually explicit messages or requests, name-calling, etc. If you want to be successful with the ladies, refrain from such distasteful actions.

3. Self-Centeredness: No one likes a self-centered individual, least of all Russian women. If you are dating a lady online, try to see things from her point her view and make an effort to consider her wants and needs as well as your own. Men who are considerate and thoughtful are much more attractive than those with a "Me! Me! Me!" mentality.

2. Lack of Honesty: Dishonest men do not attract Russian women. If you're hoping to find the lady of your dreams on an international dating site, don't lie about your job, your age, your income, your appearance, or any other aspect of all your life. Be honest and find a lady who will love you for who you are.

1. Bad Manners: Men with bad manners turn Russian women off, so be on your best behavior if you want to win the heart of special lady. What constitutes bad manners when it comes to online courting? Ignoring messages, neglecting to use basic niceties like please or thank you, insulting a lady, and making demands are all things to avoid. Your best bet is to always treat a lady like you would like to be treated.

So, what turns Russian women off the most? A messy appearance, rudeness, self-centeredness, dishonesty, and bad manners all top the list. If you're hoping to win the heart of a special lady avoid these undesirable qualities at all costs!

Do I Need Closure After A Breakup Before Dating Again?

By Gregory Howard

There is a common belief that you can't go forward until there is closure of the old relationship. So is closure a must? I feel the answer is unique to each individual. Some people never really reach what is viewed as closure, and still are able to go on to be successful at relationships.

So what is closure anyway? Is it that ah-ha moment when you all of a sudden wish the best for your ex and have no ill will? And is it absolutely necessary to be able to date again? Lets find out:

There Is A Difference Between Dating & Relationships

When you are dating there really is no emotional commitment. There might be attraction and nervousness, going on but it's at a pretty minor scale. Dating is like a practice run so there really isn't any closure needed.

When comparing dating to a relationship it's like comparing a ride in a canoe to one on a cruise ship. There is a whole lot more to a relationship especially when you have 100% of your love, your dreams and your future plans involved.

We have so much invested in a relationship, and the closure process comes in the form of getting back the control of our love, our dreams and or future visions. Until we have command of these emotions we will find it very difficult to start the process of a successful future with someone new.

This Is The Frustrating Part

Lets just say you find another, they have the looks that you like, they are funny, they have manners and they smell good. What sucks is if you are not in control of your feelings from your last relationship this new one doesn't have a chance.

You need to put off any relationship until you are 100 percent alright with your ex not being in your life. Until you feel you are OK with your ex being out of your life stay away from anything that comes close to a relationship.

If you are not yet ready for a relationship does that mean you shouldn't date? No, studies have shown that dating can speed up the act of getting your heart, your hopes and your dreams back.

Take Them Back, They're Yours

Here's what I mean: Dating closure isn't a must but relationship closure is, if you are looking to build a successful relationship in the future. It is well worth the time and energy to get your emotional ducks in a row. Because it's not fair to you or the other person, know matter what they smell like.

Taking control of your emotions might be one of the hardest and scariest things you have ever had to do. You need to look at the big picture, the picture of you with a happy future, no matter how scary it might seem now.

Of course, there's zip to be done in case both couple is decided to not hound the relationship again but in case somebody is still wishing for reconciliation then it is pretty much feasible to be with one another's arms again in almost no time. Essentially , people shouldn't start in trying too desperately to save the wedding ; this is one of the most typical mistakes that partners do to their better halves. Remember that girls basically want over the sensation of being pursued so in case a man keeps on doing this then problem may rise as the better half will usually enjoy the awareness thus she'll unknowingly want for it so the possibility for reconciliation starts to turn imprecise because she'll keep on wishing that she is going to be pursued.

Beware of Online Dating Scams: Safe Dating Online Tips

By Jonathan Safen

With the online dating industry increasing more in success, both for operators and for users, online dating frauds are popping up everywhere. You need to prepare for the online dating world by always using common sense and by reading up on the online criminals from time to time. Protect your time and money by always keeping up to date about the online scams. You should also keep your heart safe too.

First people that are pretending to be interested in your dating profile can scam you online. You should be wary of anyone that wants to meet right away because it ought to take a few weeks of online chat and phone conversations before meeting another person is even an option to be considered. When you do meet somebody, do not leave your personal belongings alone with him or her at any time. This is an easy way for them to steal your credit card or other personal details and you may not notice these things are missing for a few days. Also be wary of people who send you links. Do not click on a link without first knowing what it is and never download any software on your computer that others users are sending you or have in their profiles. These are often some type of spy ware programs that can steal information from your computer like your passwords and credit card details.

The second type of online scam is done not by the online dater, but by the online dating operator. The problem here is frequently the same. An online dating operator that is not well known and has only recently been established , might steal your credit card details or other personal information for their use. These businesses because they are online can disappear easily without a trace and it may be a long time before your cash is found if it is at all. Always read the terms and conditions before you sign up to be sure that there is no phrase that gives them consent to sell your email address or use your private details in any way.

Finally, you need to be alarmed if an online dater should ask you to cash money orders, online users have been defrauded into cashing these checks and wiring the cash to a person who claims to be in another nation unable to cash checks. These checks are usually "washed" which means that they were purchased for a small amount of money and then tainted. You will eventually get caught and it is not possible to prove that another person altered the checks and you will be guilty for what is effectively a crime.

The online frauds can put a real strain on online dating but if you are intelligent, you should not have any troubles. You need to care for yourself by not giving out too much personal details and by staying out of financial matters.

By Janet Lumb

Cosmic ordering has gained a lot of publicity lately and is not surprising that more and more people are trying to learn more about this. People are beginning to take notice and are beginning to believe that it is possible to place an order for anything that you truly desire from the universe and actually receive it.

Now that a number of celebrities are vouching for cosmic ordering, everyone is ready to jump on this bandwagon. One question is still on my peoples minds though, what are the chances that an average person would have success?

The simple fact is that this method can work for anybody. If you have tried cosmic ordering in the past, but didn't have any success, you should look a little deeper. There is a very good chance that your subconscious mind was standing in your way.

Everybody has the right to use the cosmic ordering service. This makes it possible for everybody to have what the really desire. There are any people that will point out the fact that they never asked for the problems they have had. Nobody asked to have financial problems or to have health issues and of course, they are right.

The problem does not lie with the cosmic ordering service, but with the way that the desires are channeled. Try not to say things like, 'I really don't want to become ill'. This is an example of a negative way of seeking what you want.

You should find a way to seek what you desire in a positive manner. Instead of stating what it is that you don't want, clearly ask for what you do want. If you want to keep your health you might try saying something like, 'I'm in such good health that I'm not surprised that I never get sick'.

This is one area that many fail when the try to make affirmations or try to think positive. Instead of seeing themselves as they could be, they see themselves as they are. By doing this they are affirming their station in life but should be affirming the place that they should be and believing that they are receiving their cosmic order.

When often carry the belief systems of others with us throughout our lives. If you were told as a child that you were fat, skinny, stupid or anything negative, these comments likely changed the belief that you have for yourself.

If we lived in a perfect world, every child would be given the support and knowledge to understand that they deserve everything that they desire. Instead we teach our children that it is wrong to want too many things in this life. We are conditioned to believe that we don't deserve to receive the things we want unless we work really hard for them, and even then we should have a special reason for receiving the reward.

Another thing we need to stop doing is believing that we should count our blessing. There is no reason why we should settle for next to nothing in our lifetime. There are plenty of riches in the universe, enough for everyone. There is so much in fact that they could stretch to the edge of infinity.

If you feel that the only way to get what you want is to covet the riches of other people, then you are reinforcing the belief that others have more and you have less. Instead you should be happy for people that have riches and believe that the universe holds enough well for each and every one of us.

Does the power of positive thinking really work? Yes it does and to prove the point you should take a look at the scientific studies that prove that the human brain can create energy waves that can move a quark, the smallest physical particle known to man.

The hardest part of the whole process of cosmic ordering is being able to fully free ourselves of the negative beliefs that lie in our subconscious mind. The negative beliefs are very likely embedded firmly into our memories, but they must be cleared away. In order to do this you may need to use every tool that is available.

There is really nothing to worry about since there are some very powerful tools available. Using subliminal suggestion and self-hypnosis are two very powerful tools that can effectively target the subconscious mind. Once we gain access to this powerful region of our mind we are able to methodically begin sweeping out the negative that's that are blocking our attempts to use the cosmic ordering service.

You are able to control your own future but you need to believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt. By using the tools that are available you can clear the blockages in your subconscious mind and order all the things you desire for the cosmic ordering service.

Finding A Fragrance Shop For Designer Perfumes

By John Darly

It's common to walk into a random fragrance shop and fall in love with a certain perfume and buy it. Also, you may be in search of a particular designer perfume you are looking for and search for the best prices in local perfume shops or online, but are worried about getting the best quality. Nowadays it's very easy to get fooled by the many imposters and pay for a fake perfume. It's important to learn to spot the difference.

In most fragrance shops it's common to find the testers displayed for review, however, you cannot reach the boxes that you will eventually purchase if you should decide to do so. See if it's possible for the clerk at the fragrance store to give you one of the boxes from the ones that they are selling, not the tester to review. There are legitimate manufacturers that make like perfumes as the original and have the rights to imitate their boxes, bottles, and scents. However they have to state on the box itself either designer imposter, or inspired by. It's a great tool to check the honesty and knowledge of a fragrance store if they sell such perfumes after you've discovered such a statement. If the clerk denies it, then you may want to move on to the next perfume shop.

Another important part to checking if the perfume shop sells original designer perfumes is by making sure that the box is the same as other originals. If you are a diehard fan or a particular perfume and are looking for it in fragrance shops and want to find the best price, it's a great way to find out if it's an original or rip-off. You may want to maybe take your old box, of course if you know for a fact that it was the original, and compare it with the perfume at the fragrance store. If you find any differences, and they claim that it's an original, do not buy from this perfume shop.

If possible ask the clerk at the fragrance shop to take the bottle out of the box. Keep in mind that it's possible that the tester bottle and box may be original and what they sell you is different, so if possible check to see if the fragrance shop has a policy that you can check the box and perfume of the fragrance you want to buy. If the fragrance shop doesn't allow you to open the box ask what their return policy is and open it after you've purchased it in front of them to review. If it turns out to be a fake, call them on it and ask for your money back and never return to this perfume store. When checking the perfume review the box and bottle for the spelling of the name, design of emblem, as well as the designer name.

Many fragrance shops and impostors of designer perfumes may look original down to the smallest detail, but the consistency of the perfume is different. The color is of great importance and if you are looking for one color, and the perfume at the fragrance shop is different then leave and don't look back. A common practice at a dishonest fragranceshop is using diluted perfume. The perfume is original, so is the bottle and everything that goes with it, however the perfume itself is lighter in color. If a perfume is diluted this could be dangerous as there are chemicals used that may harm you.

Bottling of a perfume is very important. This is why you ask the clerk at the fragrance shop to open up the box so you can examine the bottle and of course the consistency. Check the liquid weight of the perfume and if it matches the one of your own original. Another important thing to check is the atomizer of the perfume. Is it the same color, size, and shape as the original? Also, review the different stamps that are typically on the original of the bottle you have had in the past, and if they match.

Online fragrance shops often offer the best prices for perfumes. However, they are almost impossible to check as you cannot see the perfume and box. Ask for them to send you pictures, not only of the box, but of the perfume bottle and its stickers, and if they refuse move onto the next seller. The best way to check the validity of a fragranceshop is by checking their history as a seller. For websites such as amazon.com or ebay.com it's easy to see the reviews, history, and how consistent they are, it's far more difficult for an online store outside of these websites. Many people however, especially if dissatisfied with a product blog about it, or post on various websites that you can rant about a company or product. Another good thing to look for is a good return policy in case you are not satisfied with the product. Just don't buy something that is way below the regular price, as it's almost 100% fake.

Avoid going to a hidden away little perfume shop to find high quality perfumes. Anything that looks shady probably is. Best bet is department stores, as they offer somewhat outdated original perfumes at great prices. Also, you may want to follow sales or possible coupons at a trusted fragrance shop. Buying a fake perfume is always a risk due to health hazards, however, they also lose their smell over time and may even smell bad after a while.

Ways To Ensure Safety During Camping

By Larry Forest

Camping is a great outdoor adventure you and your family or friends can experience. Fishing and hiking are two wonderful activities that you can opt to do while camping. But camping must always be accompanied by safety procedures. Always be wary to follow the safety rules and regulations in the camp site. After reading this article you will learn how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe when you go camping.

First, check the location where you want to build your campsite. Make certain that the place is conducive for you and your family to relax and enjoy nature. Be cautious and check with credible sources if the area is safe for camping. You might also like to know more about the current safety features on your preferred camping area. Of course you could always rent an RV because it relieves some of these issues, like a lot of my customers do of my San Diego RV rentals company.

Another consideration is the weather. Varying weather conditions must be considered. You need to be prepared when there is an unexpected storm coming your way. It would be better to go out and camp during summer or spring time. Now of course if you were in an RV that would make it easier to deal with the weather like most of my clients of my Campland on the Bay RV rentals company.

Next, prepare your supplies and first aid kit. Maps, flashlights and matches are examples of some of the things you should bring. Bring plenty of water and food. Have some soap, alcohol, lotions and other skin care products that would protect you against sunburn and insect bites. You need to carry first aid kits in case of emergency. Remember to take any necessary supplies when camping.

Talk to the group about the safety rules that you will be following. Tell them not to approach animals nor feed them. Exploring on your own is a big no, stick to the buddy system. Teach campers the basics on how to set up camp and how to handle the tools and equipments. When building a fire, make sure that the fire is not located near tents or other flammable items. Be sure to guide and instruct campers for the safety of all in the camp.

Always remember to practice safety whenever you camp. Always have a plan B and a plan C for unexpected incidents. While being cautious is important make sure that you have also have great time. Build great memories as you spend time with them in the forest.
