Traditions, Myths and Legends: The Wedding Dress

The White Wedding Dress (Photo credit: teresachin2007 ) It's less than a month before December comes and brides-to-be are probably freaking out over the guest list - who had declined and who to add at the last minute - and whether the wedding invitations have all been printed with the correct names this time. The wedding venue and menu selection for the reception as well as the bridal car and the physical arrangements for the church (if it's a church wedding) and for the reception area usually fall into the laps of wedding planners. Brides and grooms just follow the schedule set by the planner and make the final decisions on the food, decors, motifs, forms of entertainment, and giveaways. They're also the ones who should choose the styles and designs for the dresses and suits of the entourage. Lastly, the couple whose wedding has been set is also responsible for the gift registry list (if they do decide on it). Traditional Beliefs in the Wedding Dress Color ...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A Missed Opportunity Learning to Play the Guitar

Playing a guitar (Photo credit: hugochisholm ) One of my cousin's sons is currently working as an apprentice at a guitar store and doing side jobs in repairing and restoring old and used guitars of friends and a few solid customers. He loves guitars, but he's not yet become a virtuoso. Rescuing the broken and the lonely among these timeless stringed instruments takes some more years of helping modern guitars get back their original luster. Right now, he's got a couple of branded guitars (I had a glimpse of his red and white Gibson in his bedroom) and several musician's accessories from DiMarzio that he used often during band practice. However, his passion for guitars and the music he makes with them is nothing short of inspirational. In comparison, I've little skill or experience with guitars. Other than that short stint playing banduria with a group, I haven't studied or touched a musical instrument since grade school. Now, I'm feeling a little re...

Health Benefits of Taking a Dip in a Heated Spa Pool Regularly

Outdoor heated pool (Photo credit: Ranchseeker (www.ranchseeker.com) ) Heat is usually applied to painful joints to relieve pain from the inflamed area. Meanwhile, anything that's cold is best for reducing the swollen flesh and stopping the blood flow to the area. So, it's good to have a heating pad in the house for quick applications on arthritic joints or as a first aid tool to relieve ankle sprains and wrist pain from RSI. If a heating pad or a folded face towel dipped carefully in boiling hot water is an effective joint pain reliever, then just imagine what a pool of heated water can do for your aching joints. That's exactly why many people visit a spa for a hot massage or a sauna bath to get rid of muscle tiredness and joint aches after a long day at work. This is also the same reason why homeowners would want to invest in a Jacuzzi or a spa pool with a Raypak heater . The following are the probable health benefits that people can have from enjoying a brief...
