How To Avoid Guests Tapping Their Glasses

I am sure you have been to a wedding reception in Michigan before, and you had to deal with the "clinking" of the glasses to watch the bride and groom kiss. Every 5 minutes someone will start the headache by tapping their champagne glass repeatedly until everyone in the room follows suite. How do you avoid the clinking of the glasses? Read our article below for some great tips that will keep your guests involved and you guys kissing.

A Little History

Many of you are probably wondering how the whole tradition of guests clinking their glasses at wedding receptions started. The 'clinking' of glasses originates back to medieval times when wine was usually poisoned. If a host wanted to prove to their guests that the wine wasn't poisoned, he would pour some of the guest's wine into his glass and drink it first. If the guests trusted their host they would clink glasses when the host offered his glass for a sample. Hence the clinking of glasses has become a sign of trust, honesty, and toast to good health.

Sing a Love Song

One great way to avoid the clinking of the glasses is to have tables sing a song with the word love in it instead. Not only is this fun, but it gives guests the chance to mingle and brainstorm a song together. It is great to do this during dinner when soft music is playing in the background. Next thing you know, tables are standing up and singing, in perfect harmony... I can tell you one thing; it is not always perfect harmony. Some common songs guests have come up with on their own are listed below:

All For One - I Can Love You Like That

Elvis Presely - I Can't Help Falling In Love with You

Norah Jones - Love Me Tender

Etta James - At Last

Barney - I Love You (I know what you're thinking)

Frank Sinatra - Love & Marriage

B52's - Love Shack

The Outfield - Your Love

Joann Jett - I Love Rock n Roll

Sarah Bareilles - Love Song

Countours - Do You Love Me

Beyonce - Crazy In Love

Haddaway - What Is Love

The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

soft Cell - Tainted Love

Tim McGraw Ft. Faith Hill - It's Your Love

Maroon 5 - This Love

Lady Gaga - Love Game

Doors - Love Her Madly

Bob Marley - Is This Love

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

R. Kelly - Step In The Name Of Love

The Shirellas - Going To The Chapel Of Love

Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself

2Pac - California Love

Diana Ross - Stop In the Name of Love

Harry Connick Jr - Receipe for Love

Tim McGraw - I Like It I Love It

Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight

Have Guests Tell A Story

Another unique way to avoid the clinking of the glasses is to have guests tell a story about you over the microphone during dinner. This quick speech does not have to be formal; it can simply be about a funny story, something sentimental, or just some insight into the guests of honor. It can be either about the bride or the groom. This is great, because it breaks up the typical down time people experience during dinner. On average, you will get 8-12 people to volunteer to talk about. But be careful what you wish for, some of these stories might be embarrassing!

Give Them Something to Ring

Get it, ring! Besides your wedding bands, you can put little bells on the table that replace the clinking of the glasses. This is more common than the two suggestions above. There are companies online that specialize in selling these bells for your wedding day. You can even put sentences or photos about wedding day attached to the bells. A nice alternative to glass clinking, but it still might give you a headache.

Mirror Kiss

Majority of people attending a reception will bring a date. So why not have the guests kiss, and have the guests of honor recreate the kiss. What will happen is that the guests will walk to the head table, do a kiss a certain way, and have the bride and groom recreate that kiss. Variations include dip+kiss, spin+kiss, long kiss, slow run towards each other+kiss. I think the last one is the most hilarious!

These are just 4 ways to switch up the traditional activity of tapping the glasses. There is no right or wrong way to do anything for a wedding, just your way. If you have a comment or suggestion, then feel free to leave it on our wedding blog.

What Vitamins Should I Take To Improve My Hair, Skin And Nails?

The biggest news recently about beauty, especially hair, skin, and nail health, revolves around the ability of vitamins and minerals to help skin be healthy and young looking. Nutrients, vitamins, and minerals can promote hair growth, healthier looking hair, and help strengthen nails so they don't chip and break. This means not just nutrients found in lotions and creams that go on the skin, but those that are found naturally in the food we eat, and in vitamin and mineral supplements that can be taken to help improve hair, skin, and nails from the inside out.

Vitamin and mineral supplements added to a healthy diet can make such a difference that you don't need to spend a lot of money on a full regimen of skincare products. Fortunately, most of the same things that are good for your skin will also work to give you healthy hair and nails; that makes taking a supplement so much simpler!

Vitamins C and E
As far as your skin goes, both vitamin C and E are very important in stopping the negative effects of too much exposure to the sun, such as wrinkles and ageing. Vitamin E has been shown to decrease sun damage and wrinkles and smooth out the texture of skin. Long term use of both of these vitamins can reduce the chances of getting sunburnt and vitamin C can help with collagen formation.

For skin, hair, and nails, both vitamin C and E act as antioxidants. Vitamin E and C improve blood circulation (and nutrient delivery) to the scalp, resulting in healthier hair. C and E taken as a supplement and in a topical lotion can reverse the damage caused by free radicals, and help replace collagen and elastin.

Vitamin C also promotes healthy nails. Hangnails can be caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. You can get vitamin C from leafy green vegetables, citrus (such as a lime, grapefruit and oranges), and cherries. A powder form of supplement is probably the easiest way to digest synthesised vitamin C. Just mix it in with juice.

Vitamin A
If the levels of vitamin A in your body are too low, you may experience things like dry and flaky skin as well as dry scalp. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy skin and repairing damaged skin. There are also vitamin A lotions that can significantly reduce wrinkles, and even help control acne.

Taking a vitamin A supplement (or beta carotene) helps the scalp produce the oils it needs to avoid flakiness and dryness. Pregnant women need to seek advice before taking vitamin A and everyone needs to be careful not to over do it. Too much can be toxic.

Vitamin K
In our bodies, the job of vitamin K is to help with blood clotting. For the skin it works to reduce dark circles under the eyes as well as fade bruising, especially when used as a topical cream. Vitamin K is made by bacteria in the gut so keeping your insides healthy helps with the production of vitamin K. A routine to support the intestines and stomach may be one way to keep your good tummy bugs happy and healthy – and busy producing vitamin K.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)
One of the B vitamins, biotin, may one of the most important supplements you can take for you skin, hair and nails. Biotin (B7) is a nutrient contained the cells of our hair, nails, and skin. When you don't have enough biotin, itchy skin and scalp result as well as hair loss. Try a multi-B supplement that contains biotin and as well as Niacin, B5, B6, and B12, all of which are important for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Minerals for Hair, Skin, and Nails
Like vitamins C and E, the minerals copper, selenium and zinc, can help develop elastin to make skin tighter and smoother. They also have other benefits and are usually included in good multi-vitamin supplements specifically for hair and nails.

Check with Your Doctor
Before you begin taking anything new, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor to make sure that they won't have any negative reactions with any medications you may be taking. The doctor can also advise you on safe dosages to take each day. Be sure to read the label and only take the recommended daily dose.

As complementary therapies are not tested in the same way as pharmaceutical drugs they have varying levels of effectiveness, so try a few different brands till you find a product that works well for you.

How To Take Good Animal And Insect Pictures

Many times people think they can only take amazing wildlife pictures away from home, but many times, you can get great pictures right in your own backyard.

Photographing Furry and Feathery Wildlife

Depending on where you live, there are many ways to turn your yard into a wildlife haven for squirrels, raccoons, birds, deer, frogs and other critters.

If you want to feed wildlife, don't feed them food from your cupboard but instead follow the wildlife attraction and sustainability tips from the National Wildlife Federation so you can be sure you're helping them and not hurting them.

By following the advice from wildlife experts, you will also be creating an environmentally friendly landscape that will be good for the animals and the environment.

Take some time to read up on the species you want to photograph so you can better understand their habits and hopefully take better pictures of them. And you will be better able to avoid attracting potentially dangerous predators into your yard. You should also look at the code of ethics for professional nature photographers on the North American Nature Photography Association's website (nanpa.org).

Just as with photographing pets, when you take a picture of a furry or feathery wild critter, follow these guidelines:

-Use natural lighting to your advantage
-Fill the frame with the subject
-Focus on the eyes
-Shoot from various angles
-Capture personality


Photographing Insects

Wildlife photography also includes the tiny world of insects. Honeybees, dragonflies, butterflies, bumblees, spiders and even snails are all popular subjects.

Photographing insects can be tricky. Here are some tips from the pros to help:

-Like with larger wildlife, it will help to know your subject's patterns of behavior. Watch where the butterflies land and see if they prefer one flowery shrub more than the others. Then stake it out and wait for the subject to come to you. And be ready!

-To get the best shots of small creatures at rest, use macro mode and fill the frame. Your camera's manual will tell you how close your macro mode works. If you stay within the proper range and hold your camera steady, you will get some nice, crisp shots.

-You should use sports mode or flash to freeze action unless the insect is sitting very still.

-Most insects are very sensitive to carbon dioxide and will run or fly away if you breathe directly on them. So when you lean in close for your close up, hold your breath! However, there are some insects like beetles that will freeze when you breath on them.

-Keep in mind some insects and spiders pack powerful, even deadly venom, so know your bug before approaching.

-Try to take pictures in early morning or twilight because insects slow down with cooler temperatures and it will make it easier to shoot a picture. Insects can see shadows very well so don't approach from the same direction as the light casts.

Photographs of wildlife can make for beautiful fine art, the type that you'll want to frame and display proudly and give as gifts. You can also use your animal or insect pictures in photo crafts like in calendars or greeting cards. There are simply lots of wonderful things you can do with your beautiful animal and insect pictures so have fun capturing the wonderful world of nature.

4 Secrets You Need To Know About Fat Loss

Fat loss is one of the hardest thing for anyone to do. You eat right, exercise your butt off and still you see the unsightly jiggles in the mirror. What is going on?

First of all, you don't have to be obsessive about losing fat. If you are eating right and working out the way you are supposed to, the first thing a trainer would say is tighten your diet; cut out more carbs, eat more protein in smaller amounts five or six times a day and do more circuit training. This could turn into a full time job!

Thanks to modern science we are finding out some more truths about fat. Perhaps these facts can help guide us to the right way to lose fat and the excess weight that may come with it.

Secret #1 - According to studies from the Toxicology Data Network of the National Library of Medicine, PCB's and dioxins stay in our bodies and cause problems that affect the hormones. One of the most common health issues noted is hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism interferes with kidney function, causing fluid retention. It affects your digestion and can cause constipation. It is also known to slow metabolism and cause fatigue. All of these problems can lead to easier weight gain, fat storage and makes it harder to lose the fat once packed on.

Secret #2 - Many environmental toxins are stored in fat cells and the tissue surrounding fatty areas. Ongoing studies such as reported by the International Journal of Obesity, finds that these toxins are lipophylic, or fat loving. They are resistant to metabolic breakdown. This means, they store in your fat and don't want to leave.

In fact, one study goes so far as to say that white adipose tissue (fat) is a reservoire for pollutants. And we thought the body could detox itself, all this time.

Secret #3 - Studies on obesity are researching the effects of losing weight and fat and the hidden dangers as the stored toxins are released into an already sluggish body. So now it seems that losing weight may even be detrimental to your health. So what are we to do?

Modern ideas are always found to be crazy at first, Like the idea of a body cleanse. But cleansing and detoxifying the body is not such a far-fetched idea. Think about the above facts; environmental toxins are stored in fat and they resist our own body's attemt to break them down. It seems like helping the body with cleansing is right on track.

Our bodies do have organs in place to help detoxify things that are not supposed to be in us. But studies are showing that these toxins do not leave as easily as once thought. We are bombarded on a daily basis through our food, drink and air. Studies in Texas show that some areas of people, land, water and even birds have high levels of DDT, even though it was banned in the 70's.

Secret #4 - Using a fat loss cleanse or a weight loss detox is a new twist on losing fat for the future. Detox diets can work with your bodies' circadian rhythm to strengthen digestion, metabolism and liver.

Body cleansing supplements help your body work harder to dislodge environmental toxins and ensure they leave the body instead of wreaking havoc. There are also many fat loss supplements on the market that are known to help the body detoxify and eliminate toxins and the fat they are stored in.

Instead of the usual diet and exercise, check out a fat loss cleanse and see if it may be your answer. Thousands upon thousands of people all around the world find it helps them. It may be just what you are looking for.
