Wondering if you know enough to host your friends Bridal Shower Games  This is the latest and oldest, being steeped in tradition, information of Bridal Shower Games The bridal shower is an casual yet intimate luncheon of the future brides women family and friends given in her honor.  Most bridal showers have games, a great deal of fun, allowing a bonding opportunity for all of the women at the party. These games often structured enabling a task for the bride to be completed. An idea on this later. A game that encourages the participants to get to know each other is always a fun game with which to start the party.   1) The Name Tag Game  encourages guest to mingle with the each other.   The hostess writes the name of each of the guests along with a word related to weddings such as veil, favors, groom, etc on a name tag.   Players are not allowed to say the word on their name tag or else they lose their name tag to the person who got them to say the word.   As the players acquire more tags they are tasked with not saying the words on those or their original tag So if they say the word on their own tag they give their tag to the person who made them say the word. If they say the word on one of their acquired tags they then give that tag to the person who made them say the word and introduce that person to the person that they got the card from. It really is as funny a game in practice as it it diffulcult to describe. A really great ice breaker. There is much to be done in this active afternoon of fun and laughter so it is wise to set a time limit. The person with the most tags when time runs out is the winner. 2) What's This In My Hand Bag? Another popular bridal shower idea.   The hostess draws up a list of items likely to appear in a woman’s hand bag and assigns a point value to each item ranging from 1-5 depending on how unusual the item is.   Keys maybe a 1 on the scale, a lip balm a 3 and an eye brow pencil a 5. Allowing 10 bonus points for the woman who can produce the most outrageous item from her purse curtainly creates shrieks of laughter. Who knew Auntie would be carrying those. Once the entire list has been completed, the woman with the most points is proclaimed the winner. 3) Television

TEA TREE OIL: THE A-Z OF THE AMAZING MELALEUCA TREE  CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE FOUND TEA TREE OIL I'm especially thankful and excited for you to have found this book.    Now in my 50s, from adulthood, I've lived largely on indulgence. With the last ten years spent working on roads under construction when I developed a horrible condition of reacting to heavens knows what, but cleaning products seemed to set it off mostly.     My face would swell till my eyes were slits, my face so swollen, my skin would exude fluid and split. My face was highly sun sensitive making outdoor work impossible and would take weeks to heal with large quantities of skin slothing off in the process. At my age you do not want to have rapidly thinning skin.      I saw my doctor and it was sugested a determitologist, but the first appointment would be months out, cost 100s and no garantee the symptoms would be present on the day.    I saw my accupuncturist and they relieved the symptoms, but it came back periodically. With no work this was getting expensive.    Long story short. Think I just got overloaded with toxins. I eliminated all soaps, detergents, perfumes, cleaners, dyes. And wow, did I get depressed without the pretty things in life. The house, and me, became progressively dull.     Ta Da ! ! ! then I found Tea Tree Oil. Amongst other things it's a mood enhancer and I was inspired to share. Now I do remember how I exactly found it was my dear ex-neighbour Rowena whom first introduced me to it, I am eternally grateful to her for it's bounty.     It's worth saying again. I am very excited for you to have found this and hope you gain as much benifit from applying 100% Tea Tree Oil in your life as I have.  THE TEA TREE     Melaleuca Alternifoliais or Tea Tree, so-named by British explorer, Captain James Cook, circa 1770, who's sailors made tea from the needle like leaves of the tree growing on the marshy areas of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. Not a practice I promote as it is NOT TO BE INGESTED!     The tree is native to Australia is not found naturally occurring elsewhere. It has for many many centries been prized by the indigenous Aboriginal people of Australia for its properties as an anti-infective, antifungal agent.     In the late 20s an Australian Dr. A. R. Penfold documented clinical studies first conducted in 1923 of the amazing properties of Tea Tree Oil. He concluded the essential oil contained in the leaves of the Tea Tree to have 13 times the antiseptic and bacterial properties of Carbolic Acid, (an aromatic organic compound, a Phenol extracted then from Coal Tar and now Petrolium) and the means of sanitizing homes and hospitals then.    Some seven years later Mr. E. M. Humphrey published an article "A New Australian Germicide." Further exposing the virtues of Tea Tree oil as having a disinfectant action on the typhoid bacilli sixty times that of ordinary hand soap containing carbolic acid .     So important was Tea Tree in the 1940's that it was standard issue in first aid kits for Australian soldiers, Army and Navy, during World War II    Now coming up 9 decades, Tea Tree Oil has been documented in numerous medical studies to kill many strains of bacteria, viruses and fungi.    The University of Western Australia stated that tea tree’s primary active ingredients responsible for its ability to reduce harmful bacteria include terpene hydrocarbons,  monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.    In a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Sciences, on tea tree oil, investigating its ability to fight skin cancer found, Tea Tree Oil to have a rapid effect on reducing cancerous tumors and boosting immunity.    Once antibiotics became widely available in the late 40s demand for tea tree oil declined.    Due to the rise in resistance of bacteria, viruses and fungi to antibiotics and conventional medicine failing many people, Tea Tree oil is again raising interest as a common household remedy not just in Australia but now globally.     Being a hardy tree with over 150 varieties it is readily available and the ultimate green renewable resource. WARNINGS       Alergy to Tea Tree Oil is rare but it is advisable to do a small skin patch test first on your arm or leg to make sure you don’t have a negative reaction before using larger amounts or applying it to your face, chest or neck.    Do not swallow tea tree oil EVER!        Pregnant women should avoid Tea Tree Oil in their last trimester. As it is thought to lessen the intensity of contractions.        Not for babies under six months of age.        Because of the way cats groom themselves and Tea Tree Oil is toxic if ingested, it is advisable not to spray them or directly on their bed area      OTHERWISE KNOWN AS     Aceite del Árbol de Té, Australian Tea Tree Oil, Huile de Melaleuca, Huile de Théier, Huile de Théier Australien, Huile Essentielle de Théier, Melaleuca alternifolia, Melaleuca Oil, Oil of Melaleuca, Oleum Melaleucae, Tea Tree, Tea Tree Essential Oil. GENERAL PROPERTY OF TEA TREE OIL    The chemicals in tea tree oil kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, and reduce allergic skin reactions. In addition, the antiseptic benefits of the oil allow its' use as a natural cleaner and disinfectant throughout the home.  GENERAL USE AND PREPARATION OF TEA TREE OIL    Throughout this book I refer to general purpose spritz. Typically I have a 750ml spray/spritz bottle with 1-2 Tsp, 5-10 mills, of 100% Tea Tree Oil then fill bottle with filtered water. One in each bathroom, separate toilets, laundry and the kitchen. Just so they are at hand when the cleaning urge inspires me.     A clean environment can become quite addictive and I don't want to stem the flow of that impulse. Shake bottle frequently as spritzing.     This mix I use for near everything but when a carrier oil is specified I prefer unrefined virgin organic coconut oil for it's natural soothing and moisturizing  properties. Enjoying the taste, smell and the fact when stored in the fridge it is solid. Melting to the touch just enough to deliver one serve of balm, moisturiser for topical application.    For a clear, colourless, odourless oil you might like to try Fractionated Coconut Oil. Though I have seen no need to try the fractionated variety loving what I use, it is reputed be odourless and to have a longer shelf life.    If you'd prefer, or it's just what you have available, olive oil, sweet almond, grapeseed oil are fine carriers too. Or you can mix with your regular purpose made products like shampoo and hand cream.     I use neat 100% Tea Tree Oil on small areas but it does dry the skin, hence the carrier oil as preventive to the drying effect.     My measurements are, in actual use, not very specific. These are home remedies I am offering here and I'm neither a scientist nor a doctor. Having said as much I do have on hand always General purpose cleaner, 750ml spray/spritz bottle with 1-2 teaspoon, 5-10 mills, of 100% Tea Tree Oil.  Coconut Oil infused 100% Tea Tree Oil stored in refridgerator Jojoba Oil infused 100% Tea Tree Oil stored in refridgerator   Lastly a small bottle of 100% Tea Tree Oil in my hand bag for using neat. Neat is 100% Tea Tree Oil=undiluted  For specific ailments I mix required for own supply  MEASUREMENTS 100 drops = 1 tsp 50 drops = 1/2 tsp  25 drops = 1/4 tsp  12 drops = 1/8 tsp  STORAGE    Light, heat, exposure to air, and moisture all affect oil stability of essential oils, so keep your tree oil stored in dark, cool, dry conditions preferably

Staples of a Healthy Pantry      While many of us stock up our pantry in case of an emergency, very few of us think about stocking up a healthy food pantry.

      Do your kids ask how to play Pokemon?  Your kid just came home with some playing cards that have colorful little monsters on them. If you haven’t been exposed to Pokemon before, you aren’t alone. Breathe. That’s why I’m here. I’m going to help you understand the basics of the game, and how to build a deck  Pokemon is an animated show, a series of video games, and a card game about people who collect, train, and battle the cute, weird monsters (Pokemon) that inhabit their world. In the card game, the player takes the role of of a Pokemon Trainer and battles another trainer. The cards represent the player’s collection of Pokemon, and items, other people, and tools that the Trainer can use to influence the battle. The play of the game represents the battle as the two Trainers direct their Pokemon to knock their opponent’s Pokemon out of the battle. If there is a game store where you live, they will almost certainly carry Pokemon cards. Most big retail stores carry them, too; Target and Walmart are excellent places to find deals.

It makes you modest and brings you back to the domain of wonders, miracles and magic. A domain in which everything is conceivable. Please study this book with a wide-open mind. You don't have to trust everything that's written here – simply explore as a scientist would do. When you hit a passage that's hard to grasp, take a break and ponder it awhile. Let your mind process this fresh information. Read this book a couple of times, take your time and produce your own experiences. Those who truly want to attain a financially free mindset, have only to set their minds on it, and acquire the proper means, as they do in relation to any other aim which they want to achieve, and it can be easily done.   But however simple it might be to make revenue, I have no doubt many will agree it's the hardest thing in the world to hold on to it. It consists merely in spending less than we bring in; that appears to be a really simple issue. A lot of my readers might say, “we comprehend this: this is mindset, and we know mindset is wealth; we know we can’t eat our cake and have it as well.” The Basics True mindset is misconceived, and individuals go through life without properly grasping what that principle is. One says, “I've an income of so much, and here is my neighbor who has the same; yet yearly he flourishes and I fall short; why is it? I understand all about mindset.” He thinks he does, but he doesn't. There are men who believe that mindset consists in scrimping, in cutting off two cents from the wash bill and doing all sorts of little, mean things. Mindset isn't meanness. The misfortune is, likewise, that this class of individuals let their mindset apply in only one direction. They fancy they're so wonderfully frugal in saving a penny where they should spend two cents that they think they can afford to waste in other directions. Before kerosene oil was exposed, one might stop overnight at nearly any farmer’s house and get a really good supper, but after supper he may attempt to read in the living room, and would find it impossible with the ineffective light of one candle. The hostess, seeing his quandary, would state: “it's rather hard to read here evenings; we never have an additional candle except on special occasions." These special occasions happen, perhaps, twice a year. In that way the woman saves 5, 6, or 10 dollars: but the information which may be gained from having the extra light would, naturally, far outweigh a ton of candles. But the difficulty doesn't end here. Feeling that she is so frugal in candles, she believes she can afford to go often to spend 20 or 30 dollars for ribbons and frills, many of which are not essential. This false belief may frequently be seen in other instances. You find great businessmen who save old envelopes and scraps of paper. This is all OK; they might in this way save 5 or 10 dollars a year, but being so frugal (only in paper), they believe they can afford to squander time; to have expensive parties, and to drive their fancy cars. This is an illustration of “penny wise and pound foolish.” I never knew a man to succeed by applying this sort of mindset. True sound financial mindset consists in always making the profit exceed the expenditure. Wear the old clothes a bit longer if essential; give up the new pair of gloves; fix the old dress: exist on plainer food if need be; so that, under all conditions, unless some unexpected accident happens, there will be a allowance in favor of the profit. A penny here and a dollar there saved, goes on accumulating, and in that way the desired result is accomplished. It requires some training, possibly, to achieve this mindset, but when once used to it, you'll discover there's more satisfaction in rational saving than in irrational spending. Here is a formula which I advocate: I've found it to work a great cure for extravagance, and particularly for mistaken mindset. When you find that you've no surplus money at the end of the year, and yet have a great income, I advise you to take a couple of pieces of paper and mark down each item of expenditure. Post it daily or weekly in 2 columns, one headed “essentials” or even “comforts”, and the other headed “luxuries,” and you'll discover that the latter column will be double, or more, larger than the former. The true comforts of life cost but a small portion of what most of us may earn. Think of the keep up with the Jones' attitude: One may say; “there's a man who has an income of fifty thousand dollars annually, while I have but one thousand dollars; I knew that young man when he was poor like myself; now he's wealthy and thinks he's better than I am; I'll show him that I'm as good as he is; I will go and purchase a fancy car; no, I can't do that, but I'll go and rent one and ride this afternoon on the same road that he does, and therefore prove to him that I'm as good as he is.” My friend, you don't have to do all that; you may easily prove that you are “as good as he is;” you've only to behave as well as he does; but you can't make anybody feel that you're rich as he is. Also, if you act like this, and waste your time and spend your income, you'll remain poor, in order that you might keep up “appearances,” and, after all, deceive nobody. You’ll not advance in the world, if your envy forces you into debt. In this country, where we believe the majority ought to rule, we brush aside that principle in reference to style, and let a handful of individuals, calling themselves the aristocracy, run up a fake standard of perfection, and in striving to rise to that standard, we perpetually keep ourselves poor; all the time grinding away for the sake of outside appearances. How much more sensible to say, “We’ll regulate our expenditures by our income, and save something for a rainy day.” Individuals should be as sensible on the issue of money as on any other subject. Like movements produce like effects. You can't accumulate a fortune by taking the road that leads to impoverishment. Those who live beyond their means, with no thought of a setback in this life, may never attain monetary independence. Men and women used to satisfying every impulse, will find it difficult, initially, to cut back their various unnecessary expenses, and will feel it a great denial to live in a littler home than they've been accustomed to, with less expensive furniture, less pricy clothing, less entertainment, and additional extravagances; but, after all, if they'll try saving a “nest-egg,” or judiciously investing, they'll be surprised at the joy from perpetually adding to their little “bundle”. The old suit, and the old hat, will work for another season; the water tastes better than champagne; a brisk walk will prove more stimulating than a ride in the finest auto; an evening spent playing a family game will be far more pleasant than a 50 dollar night out, when you begin to know the pleasures of saving. Thousands of men are kept poor, and tens of thousands are made so after they've acquired riches, in result of living beyond their means. “Easy come, easy go,” is an old and true adage. A spirit of pridefulness and vanity, when allowed to have full sway, is the undying problem. Many individuals, as they set out to prosper, instantly start spending for luxuries, till in a short time their expenses eat up their income, and they become ruined in their absurd attempts to maintain appearances. Chapter 2: You Have To Envision What You Want Synopsis Most individuals never consider what they wish in their lives. They live without this knowledge or premeditation and become victims of their own condition. Work is simply about a job – to make do financially. Life becomes a series of troubles like choosing to live someplace because the rent is inexpensive, never realizing how to be in relationships or becoming ineffective parents. The list carries on and on. See it Inside you there's a hungering for more. Is it meaning, contact or a richer understanding of life? No one has ever acquainted such individuals with the concept of perpetual possibility. “As a man thinketh, so is he.” A major mode to manifesting the life you wish is to think over what you wish out of life. What is it that you wish to do with your life? A great exercise is to take a sheet of paper and put down the answers to the accompanying questions:* What is my deepest want? * What would I like to acheive in my lifetime? * What would I like to acheive this year? * What would I wish to acheive 5 years from now? * What would I wish to be 20 years from now * What am I great at? Check into all fields of your life: * Your line of work * Your relationships * Your wellness * Your financial state of affairs * How to have fun. (how to spend your vacations) After you've put down a list of what you wish to achieve in your life, you'll need to set priorities for them. Simply take the list that you put down and provide every topic 1 - 5 points. 1 becoming the least crucial to five points becoming the most. Now you've priorities in your life, which will help you determine where you wish your attention to be. It's an easy equation: comprehend simply that you wish to spend most of your time with the number 1 matter on your list. Spend somewhat less time with the number 2 entry on your list – and so forth for numbers 3 through 5. There's no need to slice the day into time slots. Just by doing this exercise you're programming your consciousness to spend time harmonizing with your list. Let's presume you'd like to discover your life partner in the next 2 years, and that this is your chief goal, at the very top of your list. When you check into your thought process at the end of the day and you discover that you've not spent most of your spare time addressing this goal, you've a misalignment, and you might never accomplish your goal. When this occurs merely realize it and correct accordingly. Working all day only to sit down on your couch and watch television won't get you where you wish to be. You have to take action to manifest your goal(s), for instance: * Take action, take a class * Take a weekend retreat in area of interest. * Go to a workshop that centers on your interest * Spend time in places you are able to meet individuals If your goal happens to be that you wish to be a millionaire inside 5 years, and you're spending only 5 minutes of your time every day to achieve this goal, then don't be surprised if your financial state of affairs never alters. There's another crucial aspect of
