How to Organize a Purse Swapping Party

What is the host responsible for? Read these steps to organizing a purse swapping party.

1. Make a list of all of the women that you know might be interested in a purse swapping party. Send out the invite list via e-mail or flyer about 3 weeks in advance. This will ensure enough to time for everyone to put the date on their calendar. Request that they RSVP so you know exactly how many people to feed or accommodate. I would suggest no less than 10 women and no more than 20.

2. Make sure to specify whichever types of purses you plan on having. Some people really like to do designer purse swap parties so everyone goes home with a quality purse, however its just as much fun to do older purses as well. It may be wise to ask each person what type of purse they are bringing to ensure they are all fairly similar.

3. Once your receive your head count, plan on making food. Wild women expend a lot of energy and they will need to be fed. Finger foods, wine, champagne, water, pop, fruit, vegetables, and other snacks should suffice. If you are worried about the cost of hosting the party then politely ask for $5.00 to cover your food and drink expenses. You can also use some of the money left over to give extra special bonuses or surprises at the end of the purse swap. See below for more information on party favors and surprises.

4. When all parties have arrive you will be responsible for putting all of the purses on display. Allow about 30 minutes for everyone to mingle and look over the purses. This will get the women exciting and many of them will be pointing and talking amongst themselves about which one they secretly want or desire to take home. You can even display the purses on different pedestals or elevations to give the appearance of a purse shop or shopping at a mall.

5. Try to have a couple of your own purses in the reserves for those women who feel like they may have gotten a raw deal at the end of the purse swapping party. Most of the time you can pick up a few older purses at the goodwill, garage sales, or an outlet mall for a few dollars. This will ensure that everyone goes home happy and has a great time. The idea is to have the women swap purses that they would still consider carrying but don't care for any longer. Otherwise, you'll end up with a bunch of junk that no one wants.

Hair Restoration For Women is Cheaper and 10x More Effective Today - Try This Cure

Most women will experience some degree of hair loss during their lives. If your hair loss is slight, a change in hairstyle may be all you need to handle this problem. However, if your hair loss is moderate to severe, you may need extra help. Luckily, there are many home remedies and new products available to help you save the hair you have and grow back the hair you have lost.

Common causes for hair loss.

One cause of balding is poor nutrition and lack of vitamins in your diet. With today's busy lifestyles, it's easy to overlook your nutritional requirements, and your hair can suffer for it. Vitamin B complex is especially important for healthy hair, skin, and nails, since it is instrumental in promoting cell growth. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is also necessary for healthy hair and skin. Since both Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C are rapidly metabolized and flushed from your system, it's important to get at least your minimum daily requirement of both vitamins every day, whether in the foods you eat or in a daily vitamin supplement.

Hair restoration products work wonders!

For women nearing menopause, balding may be related to a drop in estrogen levels in the body. Prescription replacement therapies can restore the estrogen balance, but tend to be harsh and have other side effects. Soy is sometimes a viable alternative to these estrogen therapies, since it contains phytoestrogens, a substitute for the estrogen naturally produced by your body. Eating a diet high in soy products or taking a soy supplement can help your body replace the lost estrogen with a substitute hormone, genistein. In high doses, genistein can stop or even reverse the early stages of hormonally-related hair loss in menopausal women.

Topical treatments are also available to treat the root cause of hairloss. These treatments are highly effective and show results nearly immediately, though most require a long-term commitment; if you stop using the product, you may experience hair loss again. Most women find these treatments to be both convenient and cost-effective.

If you are a woman looking for a cure for your hair loss, I highly recommend you try out Provillus for women. Check out my friend Sarah's personal review of it here: http://www.hairloss4women.com/provillus-for-women-review/. Provillus is the only topical and dietary supplement approved by the FDA to regrow hair for women.

Why Women Date Jerks

The answer to this question is actually a lot more complicated tha an one might think. We are going to have to blame Mother Nature for this seemingly illogical behavior.

In his book "Sperm Wars", Robin Baker says that humans are biologically driven to ensure their genetic survival. Males want to ensure that their genes inseminate; females want to ensure that they are impregnated by the best possible genes available.

If you ask women what type of guy they're looking for, they'll usually say they want someone honest, faithful, ambitious, intelligent, etc. However, this is not what they are usually attracted to. Women are attracted to a man's personality above all else, and will use this as a measuring stick of his genetic superiority or lack thereof.

A dominant male personality (jerks fall into this category) is generally preferred over a male that is submissive (otherwise known as a "wimp"). The former is sending an unconscious message that he has great genes and is not afraid of losing the woman by misbehaving. The latter is sending a message that he doesn't think his genes are good enough, so he'll put up with just about anything.

We also need to consider the "Triune Brain Theory". In 1973, Dr. Paul MacLean, senior research scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health, proposed that the brain is made up of three subdivisions corresponding to three evolutionary eras.

The first, most primal part of the brain is the reptilian. It is responsible for mating and territorial behavior, pecking order, defense, aggression and the emotions of anger and fear.

The second part of the brain to develop was the limbic brain. Love, sadness, jealousy and hope originate here. It controls heartbeat, temperature, blood pressure and the flow of neurotransmitters, all of which are affected by the presence of someone we're attracted to. Sexual stimuli passes directly to it. It is impulsive and instinctual. It is not receptive to reason and analysis.

The newest part of our brain, the neo-cortex, permits higher functions of logic, thought, language, planning, reasoning and critical judgment.

In "The Emotional Brain", Joseph LeDoux points out that the first two, older brains have a greater influence on the neo-cortex than vice-versa, "making it possible for emotional arousal to dominate and control thinking. Although thoughts can easily trigger emotions we are not very effective at turning emotions off."

This means that the lower limbic system, which rules emotions, can hijack the higher mental functions when it needs to. It says, "You've found The One". The neo-cortex responds with, "Yes, but he seems to drink too much, I've caught him lying and he doesn't have a job." The limbic says, "I can live with that. He's so handsome and it feels so wonderful when I'm with him."

You can see how even though a woman may say she wants a nice guy, that is not necessarily who she is attracted to. A great example of this is food. Do we make our choices based on what's good for us or on what tastes good? This is what is happening when a woman chooses someone that makes her feel good, but is not good for her.

The solution? Men need to find a happy medium between being bad guy and being a wimp. They can be strong and take charge but they also need to know when to be more sensitive and yielding. Women? They need to date a few jerks to see that the emotional high they get from being with them isn't worth the pain and sadness that ultimately ensues. Only then will they be able to turn the tables on the limbic brain and make a logical choice.

Controlling Head Lice From Spreading

Head lice are wingless insects that plague our child so often. Most of the time, we do not know where they come from. Once a head louse gets to the head of our child, it will start laying as many as 60-100 nits in their 30-day lifetime. They have natural binding agents that they use in sticking their eggs on the base of each hair strand. With their brownish to grayish colored bodies, they are invisible in our naked eye. They are treacherous enemies that infest our child and we must find some effective ways of controlling them from spreading.

First, we have to consider that theyare everywhere. They are present in every nook and cranny of our house. Everywhere our children go, they are also there. Perhaps you are wondering why children of preschool age are the ones who are always infested with lice. This is so because they are the members of the family who shares personal belongings with the others, and they always come in contact with the other member of the household. Their propensity to spend time in dirty places like playgrounds and attics makes them the perfect candidate for head lice infestation.

Controlling their spread will start in confirming who among the family members serves as the host for them. Treat those persons immediately to prevent the lice from transferring to other persons. These persons should be checked from time to time to see if they still have lice.

Maintaining a clean environment in the house is also a crucial part of controlling the spread of them. Start by having a general cleaning at least twice a week and make sure that you cover every corner of the house. Clean and disinfect rugs, carpets, and pillows. It is better if you can vacuum these things as well as the furniture. Clothes, linen and other textile material should be washed and rinsed in water that is approximately 130 Degrees F. This ensures that these things are thoroughly cleansed. Combs and brushes are advised to be soaked in hot water to disinfect them. Though lice are practically hard to manage, it is not necessary to hire a pest exterminator.

Last and the most important step of all is to make sure that your family keeps themselves clean all the time. Proper hygiene is like a vaccine against these head lice. These pests will find it hard to thrive and multiply in your child's head if it is always clean.

Preventing lice from colonizing your home is not a hard task at all. You just have to make sure that your home is cleaned regularly. You have to be determined and persistent in combating those pesky head lice.

Hosting a party gives you extra perks like, discounts and prizes. Before you start handing out those invitations there are a few things you need to know.

First, What are the benefits of having a scrapbook party in your house. Women are more eager to attend these parties because they have a chance not only to catch up with one another, but to swap different designs and scrapbooking tools.

You will need to think of a roomy location to have your party. Each person will need plenty of room for their supplies and other items. Each person should bring their photos and memorabilia the want to exhibit. There are also some fundamental items they will need to bring along. Be sure to list them on the invitations.

Sharp scissors or shears

Acid-free and lignin-free paper for mounting and

background

Acid-free pens for journaling

Adhesives for mounting photos and embellishments

Stickers for decorating

Now would be a good time for you to start thinking about the display of your page. Gather your pictures and cardstock and place them in clear baggies. Obtain accompaniments you wish to add.

The normal scrapbook party usually lasts two to three hours depending on how many first timers there are. Arrange to serve some light snacks and drinks. Place these away from the scrapbooking area to avoid any unwanted mishaps. Choose snacks that are easy to eat without a lot of mess.

Don't try to push yourself to complete a lot of pages during this time. Many scrapbookers only complete one to two pages at the party. This is why so many continue to have parties at different locations. You can establish a group that is willing to host parties at each others homes. A good time frame to get together again would be about once a month. This will enable everyone to establish more photos and scrapbooking items.

The Best Foods For Women Over 40!

Say the phrase healthy eating and you're bound to think of boring garden salads, celery and carrot sticks. They certainly are healthy, nutritious foods, of course, but nothing you'd call epicurean cuisine.

As you reach you 40th birthday, though, you realize that eating healthy is more important than ever. And you're serious about changing your diet to include more nutritious choices.

Well, eating healthy may never be quite as fun as experiencing exotic entrees, delighting in delicious desserts or even anticipating an appetizer. But if you know what foods to choose, you may even find you enjoy eating them.

And once you've checked out these foods, you'll no doubt go digging for others. Trust me, healthy foods surround you if you just look into them a little!

The Strawberry

Remember the joy of eating strawberry shortcake when you a child? You no doubt rejoiced in the whipped cream and the shortcake itself. But the real power of the dessert lies in the strawberries.
Mother Nature, in fact, has created just about the perfect food in the strawberry... and the blueberry... The Apple

Then there's the classic apple. Perhaps not quite as versatile as the berry, it packs such a nutritional wallop that you just can't ignore it (and quite frankly, it sure does taste better than tofu!). The disguised as a modest, humble fruit is really a superhero in the nutritional world.

The apple is a tremendous source of those hard-working antioxidants, which work tirelessly to destroy free radicals. And we all know that free radicals are responsible for a host of degenerative diseases related to the aging process, including heart disease and cancer. And now some experts say that antioxidants could even help keep wrinkles at bay (oh, now I have your attention!)

Here's a quick piece of trivia you might not know about the apple: If you eat just the peel of the fruit - not even the apple itself - on a regular basis, you can reduce your risk of developing cancer by 48 percent!

And you don't even need to gorge yourself. An apple a day... just like the proverb... is all you need to keep your system happy and healthy!

Peanut Butter?

Now, here's a food that will take you back to your childhood: peanut butter. It may sound strange, but it's true. But right up front, we recommend you eat the all-natural kind. You'll have to stir the jar every time you use it but the rewards - and the taste - are worth the effort!

Not only are peanuts a great source of those "good fats" but peanut butter can help keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time. A recent study showed that peanut butter reduced hunger in women for up to two and a half hours. By contrast, rice cakes only staved off the hunger pangs for a measly 30 minutes!

Peanut butter also a good source of iron. When you combine it with a high-fiber wheat bread, you'll probably notice that you stay satisfied even longer than that!

A half a peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread and an apple make a nutritious mid-day snack - and takes you back to your school days as well!
