The day you finally get to "tie the knot" is on its' way, but first there's the hen party to organise. There are lots of hen night activities you could do as party of your classy hen night. Here's a few ideas to get you started.
One popular activity for a classy hen night is to have a Murder Mystery Night. This is a fun and entertaining evening, usually at a hotel or restaurant-type location, with professional actors playing out the story, with clues for you to solve.
Another good idea is to try a Cheese & Wine Evening. Simply pop down to your local supermarket and explore the huge range of wines and cheeses on offer. It's an opportunity to try new flavours you've never experienced before, and the variety also makes a great talking point for the evening. Try searching out local independent organic food stores and delicatessens to find unusual specialities and delicacies.
If you were thinking about having a daytime activity instead of the traditional hen night, you might want to consider pampering yourself and your hens at a Health Spa, or why not have an afternoon tea party or meet in a coffee bar. You could all the members of your party to bring along any photos they may have of you when you were younger, to add a nostalgic touch to the event. Museums, art galleries, exhibitions and events are also popular daytime hen activities - or perhaps explore the outdoors with a trip to the countryside.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have fun, relax, and enjoy the company of your friends and family at this special time in your life.
When choosing a hairstyle for women forty years of age and over, we must first consider what the factors will be that has lead to the consideration of changing a hair style. Throughout a woman's life, she has travelled through her teenage years, young adult years to her mature years. I would like to refer these years as chapters in a woman's life.
A young teenage girl will have vibrant healthy hair that holds its natural color and wave. As we get older cell re-generation slows causing the hair to become dull and lifeless, even the pigment whitens leading to grey hair. When we hit forty years of age there will be several other factors such as, greying and hair thinning.
If it does not get any worse we will also have to consider why we want to change our hair style and where in our life will the hair style fit in. Is the hair cut because we have had enough of the same style or is it because we are re-entering the workforce after we have raised our family.
Just like looking in the wardrobe where we will see the chapters in our lives on full display. We will see our house clothes, our party clothes, maternity wear and our corporate clothes. Well once the children are out of the way, we will no longer need our maternity clothes as that chapter has ended in our lives.
The same with our hair. For a woman over forty to change her hairstyle she will need to consider why. Is the reason just for change, to cut away long time consuming hair or does your hair make you look older then you really are? No matter what the reason, changing your hair style is a major decision and one not to be taken lightly.
I have always advised clients that whenever they are contemplating change, to visualize that change and to see if it will meet their expectations and fit in with their lifestyle. Gather all the information you can such as photos from magazines, hair styling products and if they will suit your hair. This point is very important as some hair styles require different product to maintain, so you will need to know if the product will suit your hair or is there an alternative.
Talking with friends, family and your hair stylist will help you to make the correct choice, and remember, hair styles for women in their forties and over, still look great and making a change is making a change to build your self esteem and self confidence.
We absolutely love talking about hair styles when it comes to making a fashion statement. The most common questions I have been asked has formed my website. The site is packed with information dealing with all aspects of haircuts for women providing up to date information and resources.
Do you remember an old saying about eating an apple a day to keep the doctors away? A lot of people underestimate the value of good old apples. The apple is one of the best whole fruits, a super food we must eat every day if we want to feel a.
Well, all whole fruits contain valuable minerals, vitamins, enzymes and fiber. You are wondering why apples?
1. Fiber.
Apples are rich in fiber pectin, which we, ladies, need a lot to have clear complexion, metabolic balance, low blood pressure. Pectin (soluble fiber) lowersnot only cholesterol but also body fats. How great is that?!! Apples improve indigestion, and also help with some digestive concerns (for example, if you have a diarrhea - have an apple; if you have a constipation-have an apple!).
2. Antioxidants.
Apple is full of antioxidants to fight free radicals (which, we know,can cause illnesses) and support our immune system, heart and brain.
3. Detox.
Apples and their juice are perfect detox/cleanse food which is beneficial for the liver. They cleanse intestinal tract with fiber which is also very helpful if you want to maintain a healthy weight or to loose extra pounds. The pectin in apples not only reduces cholesterol, but also removes toxic metals, such as lead and mercury, and the residues of radiation.
4. Energy booster.
It is also a perfect healthy snack and natural energy booster. Apples low blood sugar and make us happier and less stressful which benefit emotional depression. Nature gives us apples in the fall, when the nights get longer and seasonal depression might occur. Why is that?
But we have to remember that apples contain natural sugars, so we have to do some exercises to maintain the same weight if we decide to eat as many apples a day as we can.
And, unfortunately, apples contain the highest level of pesticides (along with peaches), and it means that we have to buy them organic (local only if you know the farmers and which fertilizer they use).
Let us remember about healing properties of apples and eat them with the seasons to feel and look fabulous.

When you are young and first have breasts, your breasts are typically perky. If they are heavy, they sag quickly. Even a young but well endowed woman can end up with droopy breasts if she does not take care. Gravity spares no one and all the weight will take its toll on your natural bra, the skin that holds up your breasts. Your best bet, from the moment your breasts develop is to start wearing bras when you are awake.
Support is everything. Even if your breasts are smaller, they may stay perkier longer, but as you get older, gravity will take its toll on you. On top of that, your skin loses its elasticity as you age and breasts, like everything else will sag.
So how do some women, in their forties, fifties or older have such fabulous bodies? They have gorgeous breasts to set off that perfect dress. Is it all due to plastic surgery?
Not necessarily. For one thing, these women take care of their bodies. They have great bodies to showcase because they watch their diet and exercise seriously, regularly, (possibly even daily) to keep their figures.
All that exercise, especially running and land activities will mean bouncing breasts, which doubles the effect of gravity as it jars the skin that supports your breasts. Support is critical. Smart women wear sports bras when they work out, jog, run, or engage in land exercises. Swimming is fine as the water supports your body, but anything out of the water requires decent support. No doubt, sports bras aren't that attractive but they are what you need to protect your breasts from the droop-inducing effects of gravity.
When it comes to that gorgeous, low cut dress, or any outfit they are going to be seen in, for that matter, they get their foundations right. They wear bras that actually hold everything in place, so that the clothes hang well on their bodies, making them look fabulous. Cosabella bras have the support necessary to give you the perky breasts that are oh so sexy. Invest in them so that your clothes will always hang well on your body. These are the well kept secrets of older women with great bodies.
