Finding a Romantic Gift for Her
Let's face it. In many ways women are easy to buy for. Most of us love the traditional romantic gifts including:
- Chocolates
- Flowers
- Jewelry
- Lingerie
- Perfume
- Candles
- Soft Toys
- Clothes
Men often consider us gullible when they see us being 'taken in' by another man's soft words and candlelight dinners. The truth is, we often know when we're being played, but we can't help responding to the gesture. We'd like it to be sincere so we convince ourselves that it is. And occasionally, the manipulative male becomes a victim of his own techniques and falls for the woman he set out to victimize.But falling for romantic gestures isn't a sign of weakness. A woman can muster huge wells of strength and resourcefulness when the situation calls for it.
Some women get addicted to this power and let go of the so-called feminine side of their natures. Others realize that you can have both.So what it's really about is knowing the woman that you're buying for. You know you're in trouble when you make generalizations like, "Women love flowers" or "I'm sure she'd like a box of chocolates for her birthday". She may prefer some clay for her sculptures or some new gardening tools. Romance is more about the care that went into choosing the gift rather than the gift itself.Here's a story that illustrates this point:Barbara and her husband John often talked about their pasts, including their experiences as young children.
In the course of one particular conversation, Barbara described a beautiful old-fashioned pencil case her mother gave her when she first started school. She hadn't thought about the case in years, but at the time it was one of her most treasured possessions.Six months later, John was browsing in a specialty store when he came across a pencil case that matched Barbara's description. He immediately bought it and presented it to her that night.Barbara was delighted with his gift and amazed that John had recalled their conversation. To her the gift was magical. It felt as if John had restored a little piece of her childhood.People give you clues about what they want continuously in their daily conversation.
It's up to you to pay attention and surprise them later with a well-chosen gift. This type of thoughtfulness works wonders in a relationship..

Copyright 2005 Michael Brooks
Although many people believe that eczema and dermatitis are separate conditions, they are actually one and the same.
The most common form of this skin condition is atopic eczema. Depending on what study you read, there are between 18 and 34 million people that exhibit symptoms of eczema.
Atopic eczema is often genetic and can be associated with a family history of environmental sensitivities and allergic conditions like asthma or hay fever.
What are the symptoms?
One of the most common symptoms associated with eczema is extreme itchiness.
Speaking from experience, once you start scratching it is hard to stop.
You can rub your skin raw trying to get rid of the unbearable itch.
Other common symptoms include:
Rash on the legs, arms, hands and neck (most common but other areas can be involved)
General dry skin even when eczema is not active...

Mom Makes a Better Shampoo for Babies and Everyone Else
Adena Surabian never figured she'd be looking up chemical compounds on the internet, but that's exactly what she did when her one-year-old daughter broke out in a mysterious rash all over her body. After trying for days to find the cause of her daughter's blotchy and inflamed skin, Adena sat down at the computer with an armful of products?everything from shampoo and conditioner to sunscreen and baby lotion. Though she couldn't even pronounce some of the ingredients on the labels, Adena researched each and every item she regularly put on her daughter with increasing dismay. She discovered that many of the elements in these commonly used products came with biohazard warnings or were listed as potentially harmful in certain conditions. Although she ultimately discovered that her daughter was allergic to the sunscreen, Adena could not, in good conscience, continue to use the other hair and skincare products in her cabinet.
So, she turned to nature for a more wholesome way to care...

Garden Photography
As the seasons change the colour of your garden will change with it. Most gardens are a rich source of great colours, patterns and vivid textures and can make for a perfect setting to practice all different kinds of photography - especially close-up nature photography.
Your garden can be one of the most wonderful places to take images of flowers, insects and a variety of small birds - and if you are lucky, occasionally other types of wildlife might wander into your garden.
You don't need great sunshine to go out into the garden - overcast days are always great days to get into the garden and capture the majestic colours of flowers.
Flower photography can be challenging, but when done right is most rewarding.
The key to getting good flower pictures is pretty straightforward - get in close. You don't need to buy a macro lens to achieve this, a good telephoto lens on a tripod should do.

A whiff of Nostalgia….
Today I was given a whiff of nostalgia. No, not some bottled perfume from my youth (eg 'Evening in Paris', remember? On second thoughts perhaps you'd rather not!!), but the wonderful God-given smell of cowslips from a cottage garden. I was immediately whisked back to my childhood and to the wonderful sight of fields of yellow cowslips and of that never-to-be-forgotten smell of the untouched perfume of wild cowslips mixed with the clean country air. In retrospect, I do not know what use those flower-laden fields were to the farmers, but they certainly brought joy to us, and they would return each year along with the primroses. Alas, of course, they disappeared with the intensive farming and chemicals of the l950's, but the delightful visual memory together with the perfume came back in a flash along with the gift.
The cowslips evoked another childhood memory. How many of you got up at dawn in order to go 'mushrooming'. We only had to look for the 'fairy rings' as we called them...
