Love knots are eternal symbols of love. The knots symbolize that there is not a beginning or end to the love, which is a really nice concept to think about. Love is eternal, whether that is love between spouses, mother and child, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, between siblings, aunt and nephew/niece, grandparent and grandchild, etc. Love is love.

One can express love on a daily basis, but it's nice to look down or in the mirror to see a lovely love knot piece of jewelry. You can find earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings in all different metals from yellow gold to silver to white gold to platinum. Depending on what you're looking for, you can find it.

When I was younger I received a love knot necklaces and loved it, but never fully understood the meaning of it, nor did I understand when I picked out a pair of love knot earrings for my mom for mother's day one year. Now, I know the meaning, and would gladly accept love knot jewelry for Valentine's Day or my birthday.

It's a rather comforting concept to know that you received an eternal love knot from someone you love. For more ideas on love knot jewelry, check out Love Knot Jewelry Ideas

Cute Couples Costume Ideas

October 25th 2009 13:11

When dressing up for Halloween it can be a cute idea to go with your date as a couples matching costume. You could try something silly like Ketchup and Mustard, or you can go sexy like a pimp and hoe. There are many costume options that you can consider when dressing as a pair. There are many that are flattering to both parties.

You don't have to go in a male/female pair, either. You and your best friend can go together in a female/female pair, or men can go together as well. It really just depends on what you want to do. Halloween is getting close, so you'll probably want to decide really quickly what you and your partner will be for Halloween because all the good costumes will be taken and all the good ideas will already be in place. The last thing that you want to do is to show up at the party as a ball and chain and two other couples already had that idea.

Women's Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas

October 23rd 2009 12:42

Sexy costumes are all the rage, and this can be an issue for younger teens, but if you're old enough to go out without mom and dad's permission your options are so much more varied. Just remember to obey mom and dad if you have to, but if you don't then go with whatever is within your comfort level.

You want to be safe and have fun.

Popular Sexy Halloween Costumes for Women

* Sexy cop costume
* Sexy school girl costume
* Sexy nurse costume
* Sexy maid costume
* Sexy goth costumes

If you're wanting to go gothic for Halloween, you opt for any of the common costumes, but in a goth attire, you can make or purchase gothic nurse costumes, goth school girl costumes, gothic maids, etc. When going goth, remember dark is the key- black clothes, black nail polish, dark or red lip stick, chokers, etc.

No matter what costume you choose, you can make it sexy. Just remember to have the attitude along with the skin and cleavage. Remember slutty is not always sexy, so you don't have to be whorish to be sexy.

If you're a woman with a few curves and you're worried about having to be a frumpy old maid for Halloween, don't worry because you can be sexy too. There are many sexy plus sized costumes that you can choose from, and as long as you wear them at appropriate sizes- not baggy or skin tight- you can be and will be sexy.

When dressing up sexy, just be careful, as many people can get the wrong idea. A little off subject of sexy costumes for Halloween, but on a 'Cops' episode, a lady tried to dress sexy her first time in Las Vegas, but ended up being confused as a hooker. Although, it was pretty funny, it was sad as it was purely an accident on her part. Just be careful of where you go and where you walk if you're going to be walking around with little clothes and a lot of cleavage showing.

Depending on what costume you choose, I'd recommend a long jacket of some kind if you plan on walking around the streets. The last thing you want to do is to call mom and dad, boyfriend or husband, whoever saying that you got pulled into jail in confusion of a hooker. Although, it would make for a funny story later on, it's just not going to be too funny at that moment.

But anyway, there are many costume ideas that you can choose from. Just have fun and be comfortable in whatever you choose.

Picking Blue Jeans for Your Body Type

August 14th 2009 18:03

Depending on your body type, you probably have found that you just can't fit into every style of jean, and not all jeans fit into you. The best thing to do is to assess the situation. What is your body type? And let's go from there.

Assuming that you know what body shape you have, you'll want to check out the following suggestion for blue jeans for your body.

Have a slight belly
For women with a slight belly, you want to select a moderate rise jean that is about 8-9 inches from crotch to waist. You want to waist band to hit just below your belly button so that it covers your stomach, reining in the problem. You can even find some jeans that have a wide waistband sometimes with a little bit of stretch material which will provide a subtle girdle effect.

You may want to consider jeans with a slight flare to offset your middle area.

Hourglass figure
If you have a bit of a curvier body, you'll want jeans that are cut higher in the back to fit over your bottom area, keeping it and you covered. You'll also want to find a jean that has a contoured wasitband because this will help reduce gapping, since hourglass figures are known for small waits. You can determine the contoured waistband by the seam indicating that it was cut on a curve and sewn together versus being one piece of material.

Tapered legs will flatter your hips more. You'll generally find that you'll have more room in the thigh area and less toward the ankle.

Full hips and thighs
You want to find a contoured waistband with a high rise in the back. You want to make sure that the front rise isn't less than eight inches. The waistband should be worn at the hipbone or belly button in order to cut into the body at the widest spot, holding in and slimming the thighs. You want to stick with fabrics that have no more than 2% stretch material.

Wide leg pants will offer a roomier fit for your thighs; just make sure that the jeans are cut for wide legs and that you didn't purchase a size too large.

You can also consider pants that have straight leg style with a more ankle-hugging leg.

Straight Figure
If you have more of a straight figure, pretty much anything goes in terms of the rise and the style of jean. You can get away with low-riders, high-waisted cuts, light washes, and heavily adorned designs. But, you'll want to stick with jeans that flatter your body type the best, which will be those with a slimmer, tighter fit and a waistband that runs across the middle. If the jean has a waistband that is curved too much, it can create a highly unflattering look and spillage in the rear.

Jeans that flare out at the knees in order to provide the illusion of curves. Low rise jeans with a snug fit will play up your legs, and by wearing a sailor-style jean with back pockets you can give umph to your bum and bring focus to your hips.

Pear Shape
Wear darker jeans to make your hips look less wide. Your legs are a little shorter because and your thighs a little plumper, so consider a jean that is straight cut with the illusion of long legs.

Apple Shape
Counter balance your wide upper area with a pair of jeans that doesn't taper at the bottom. Boot cut or flared jeans are great because they make your body more proportioned. Low rise jeans are also flattering because you have slim hips.

Choose the Right Sunglasses for Your Face

July 13th 2009 19:10

When looking for the right pair of sunglasses for your face, you want to consider the shape of your face, your skin color, and your hair style. These three factors will determine which style of sunglasses will best suit you. By knowing what to look for, you'll be able to know which sunglasses to try on while at the store. Those sunglasses that best fit and suit your face will complement you and accent your best features.

Face Structure

Oval Face
For the most part, any style and shape sunglasses will do. The best choices will generally be wraparounds or square shaped frames with a gently rounded edge and higher temple. You can pretty much experiment with whatever frame shape or thickness that you want.
Frame suggestions : Any frame shape

Round Face
You want a frame that will make your face appear longer and thinner. You want to look for frames that are equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face. You want to minimize the curves and add definition with a soft, angled, or rectangular style. Sunglasses with a higher temple will create a longer profile, and those with brow bars will pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer. You should also look for sunglasses with a thick frame.
Frame suggestions : Wider frames with angular / rectangular styles

Diamond Shape Face
You'll want to find oval sunglasses that will soften the contour of your face, but at the same time softly curved square frames. Make sure that the style is no wider than the top of your cheekbones.
Frame suggestions : Oval, Square, Rimless

Square Face
You want to choose a pair of sunglasses that will soften your face, as you have a strong jawline and broad forehead. Choose sunglasses that have a soft, curvy frame that will give your face some definition. Oval and round frames typically work well, as do cat eye frames. It's also a good idea to stick with thinner frames.
Frame suggestions : Oval, Round, Cat Eyes

Oblong Face
You want to make your face look wider and shorter than it is, so you want to stick with sunglasses that do not extend beyond the widest part of your face. Stick with round or square frames and frames that have a short, horizontal and a long, vertical line. Also consider frames that are decorated around the temples (studs and jewels are popular), which will add width to the face.
Frame suggestions : Round, Square

Triangle Shaped Face
Because you have a narrow jaw and a wide forehead, it's a good idea to soften the lower portion of your face by accenting your eyes. Frames that angle outward at the top corner and are wide to balance the jawline are great choices. It's a good idea to consider sunglasses that have a metal frame or are rimless on the bottom portion of the sunglasses.
Frame suggestions : Frames with a Straight Top Line, Cat Eyes

Skin
* Pale complexions: Consider lightweight frames or those that have a hint of rose or amber coloring. Light colored tortoiseshell sunglasses are also a good option. Stay away from clear, blue, or green tinted frames, as they will drain color from your cheeks.
* Dark complexions: If you have an olive, Mediterranean, golden, or Asian skin, you'll find that silver, gold, or clear frames will be perfect for you. Stay away from darker frames.
* Dark/Black complexions: If you have a darker skin tone, you'll want to consider a metallic frame. Be weary of black framed sunglasses, as they can either be a horrid mess or a gorgeous sight.

Hair
* Soft & curly: Rimless frames and frames with translucent colors will be a great place to start looking.
* Very curly: Classic, small frames are going to be the best bet, as will frames that will follow your hairline.
*Short: Rounder frames and geometric frames will look the best with short hair.
* Very short: Stick with bold colors and designs. Decorative frames are also a good choice.
* Long hair: You'll want to consider frames that will benefit you while your hair is down, as well as up, because the change in your hair style will vary the way a pair of sunglasses will look on your face.

Just remember that when you're choosing a pair of sunglasses that you also check to make sure that they offer UVA and UVB protection. A nice polarized lens will help reduce glare. Photochromic lenses reduce glare and help maintain clarity. Polycarbonate lenses offer protection from impact injuries that may be sustained during physical activities. Mirror-coated lenses help block visible light, but not necessarily UV. Blue-blocking lenses block blue light and are thought to make distant objects easier to see, especially in low lighting.

You also want to consider tinted lenses.
* Gray tinted lenses will not affect your color perception.
* Orange-brown tinted lenses will help those who suffer from macular degeneration because they filter UV and blue light rays.
* Green tinted lenses distort color less than other shades, such as red or yellow tinted lenses.
* Red or Yellow tinted lenses will block out blue light, which can damage the retina and can lead to macular degeneration (vision loss from degeneration in parts of the eye).

Remember that just because the lenses are dark, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will provide better protection.

Types of Women's Panties

June 16th 2009 13:47

There are so many different types of panties that women can choose from and it's hard sometimes to pick the right ones, especially since most of them go by multiple names. One store may call them hi-cuts where another may refer to them as French cut briefs. I believe I've listed most of them. If I've missed something, please let me know in the comments below.

Classic/Granny/Full Briefs- Although comfortable, the full panty is just not so attractive if you're 20, but what's a panty drawer without at least one pair of granny panties

How to Pick a Bathing Suit Fit for Your Body

May 6th 2009 19:21

When it comes time to picking out a new swim suit, whether you get one every year or your old one is plain worn out, you want to make sure that you pick a bathing suit that fits your body's shape. If you know the simple tips and what to look for when choosing a bathing suit, it can be simple. Just remember that you know your body best, and you'll be the woman wearing the swim suit, so just because the trend of the year says to wear a big buckle, it doesn't mean that you have to.

* Apple Shapes- You have broader shoulders and smaller hips, so you'll want to consider a two-piece bikini or a tankini with a solid colored top with a patterned bottom. This will give you a more balanced appearance

Mary Kay Makeup

April 5th 2009 14:11

It can be really hard to find a good brand of makeup that you want to stick with, but once you've found that brand, you definitely want to stick with it. It's also a good idea that you do not mix brands of makeup because in some cases, your skin may become irritated if you use multiple brands for your foundation, cover up, and bush.

When choosing a brand of makeup, I've found that Mary Kay has a large selection to choose from, especially when it comes to foundation. No matter what your skin tone is, you will be able to find the perfect color match, and no matter what type of skin you have, you'll be able to find something that will suit you

Humidity is every girl's nightmare because no matter how much time you spend on your hair, as soon as you step out of the door it either frizzes, flattens, or curls, and sometimes a little of each. Basically because humidity has the most effect on porous hair, you'll find that for the most part, the product that you use on your hair will have the greatest effect of fighting the humidity.

Here are a few tips that can help you somewhat maintain your hair style even in humid weather

Common Lipstick Mistakes

March 30th 2009 13:59

I found this great hub on HubPages.com that pretty much covers the basics on applying lipstick and what mistakes to avoid when doing so. Although, I'd much rather prefer lip gloss or chapstick, there are many females who prefer lipstick to give their lips the perfect color and shade to accent their lips, accessorize their outfit, or mix things up a bit.

Lips can really work wonders for a girls makeup and beauty, but if you do know know how to properly apply and avoid the most common mistakes, you are really doing more harm than good. Yea, people will still look at you and give you that second glance that you were hoping for, but it won't be for the same reasons
