For Better or For Worse

My post below made me think about all the weddings I have attended to and the marriages all of them had after. Fortunately, 100% of them are still together. They went through some tough times but held on to each other and became closer and stronger.

Wedding Anniversary Invitations for the 10, 25th and 50th year are something we always want to receive. It is a glowing testament that true love does exist and that marriage a sacrament worth celebrating over and over again. It is actually a reason to celebrate more than getting married in the first place.

For wedding anniversary invites, consider getting it done at Express Invitations. It can all be done online and their proof is exactly what you will see when you have it in your hands. They offer free shipping too!

Bridal Shower Parties

Maybe the only thing that is lacking when I was planning my wedding was I was not able to have my own bridal shower. My friends who were all single (I was the first to get married) didnt have a clue how to go on about throwing me one. Shower Bridal Invitations ideas were the only ones they came up with – a spa party. But it never materialized because I was too busy as well.

However that doesnt stop me from throwing a great spanking bridal shower for my friends now. Now that I am married and know all the more!

Moving Houses

It seems everybody is moving! We moved last year from the city to the suburbs and most of our friends are now following suit. They saw the great effect it had on our kids and our family life. My cousin recently had their newly-built house blessed and there are still so many who do not know they have moved.

Instead of doing an e-mail and text brigade, she opted to go the old-fashioned route and announce their move and give their new address through Announcements Moving Cards. It ended up to be such a great idea because people not only congratulated them but gave them house-warming gifts! It was a last minute decision of theirs. It’s a good thing my cousin had their announcement done through Announcements-Shoppe.com. They were very fast and efficient because they had the proof ready within an house and after approval, they were shipped FREE that same day.

A Christian Milestone

A family friend recently asked me for help, knowing that I scrapbook, making an simple personalized card for her daughter, who is on third grade and will be receiving her First Communion. They are a religious family who are very active in Church so they treat this event like a birthday or a celebration party.

They are helping the school with the event and they were tasked to oversee the making the invites. She only had praises with the company they went with, Announcements-Shoppe.com. For starters, they were very fast and efficient. They sent the wordings on Monday and got the proof e-mailed within an hour! She was able to view the First Communion Invitations online before ordering and they even got free shipping for the said invites! Now, the Church will be doing their business with them for christening invitations too. They will also refer invitations baptism to them if the parents will ask for referrals. Religious invitations at their shop are very unique – they have exclusive designs not available anywhere else.

I actually got a copy of the invite and was surprised how nice it looked!

When I’m Stressed…

I get fatter. I really do not know what to make of this until I read an article that when a person is stressed, his body releases a hormone called cortisol that binds to fat cells making it harder to dissolve. That maybe the reason that even if I do a million things and survive on little sleep most of the time, I don’t lose weight. Maybe I need a diet pill that works – any suggestions? I am scare of the many reported side effects but if I can read reviews and feedbacks from real people, that will be great.

On a Quest.

A never ending quest. I think 90% of most people want to lose weight, all for the different reasons. However, 90% of those people also lack the discipline, motivation and drive to keep through the mission to lose. So most people to resort the desperate and most popular choice - diet pills. Many companies stake claims that theirs are the best diet pills but the key here is - no diet pill is effective if it's going to be in the long-term. One needs to have a lifestyle change.
