| MEETING FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS… OR SHOULD I SAY BENEFITS WITH MEETING FRIENDS… Charity Fundraiser’s are the new hot singles spot. Last night was a Black Tie Gala for the American Cancer Society a cause I of course strongly support. Now, my sister is recently single…..So…. Here I am checking out the available stallions at this event… Not for me (wink, wink), for my sister… lol. But, I have to say this is a great place to meet men or women. Let’s talk about a win-win situation. Great cause and great people and I figured… I am a journalist this looks like an article. So I started talking to some of the guests. Some met their Prince Charming or Princess at fundraiser’s and ultimately got married. Some of these couples told me they met at a Gala and every year they come to this Gala and it is part of their anniversary celebration. I thought how nice they celebrate their love and give to their favorite charity. This is seriously win-win. Galas offer the opportunity to put your best foot forward and dress to impress, which you couldn’t do at other typical dating venues. Most men look so handsome in a tux and truthfully you really don’t see many man dressed up anymore. Also, a benefit is a perfect place for a woman to shed their conservative work clothes and put on a spectacular outfit, and feel stunning for an evening. Many professionals work exhausting hours. Many of my friends really don’t have time to socialize at all….So these events are an instant social life. Some attend two to four charity events a week. How generous, and it is so much better than being a bar hopper. Even if you don’t meet the person of your dreams, you can spend time with friends, family, eat, drink, and dance and still support a great cause. The key thing is that if you are going to these events to meet someone, you should psyche yourself up and tell yourself, I’ve done this from the goodness of my heart for this charity and made a great decision to be here. Besides, you could always make friends with a couple of people who just might know Prince Charming or your Princess of your dreams. Not to mention the great gift bags at these events. (You know I love the swag-bags READ MORE BELOW.) For those who think to themselves now I am here what do I talk to these people about? This is the perfect place for people who struggle with opening lines. The gala itself gives you the instant conversation starter. What is better to chit chat about than the event that you paid to attend? It is the ideal and logical opportunity to approach someone and say, “ Isn’t this a great cause? What is your connection to this organization” or share why you care about the cause. This atmosphere is warm and there is an acceptance because you are there for the same cause. Also, look for a charity you believe in—where you are more likely to meet people with the similar interests. If you lost your mother to breast cancer and you attend a gala supporting research for a cure chances are you will meet people with similar stories and can bond over that. If you don’t meet someone, at least you have done something nice for your mother’s memory. And even if some people are going to these events just to meet people the organization still benefits. And that is a good thing. Whatever way you are inspired to do good things, such as giving money and making the world a better place…Your heart is still in the right place. Well-heeled organizations like the NY Public Library have filled a niche by offering special memberships for people under 40, which fosters more of a social component. The library’s Young Lions group sponsors benefits and cocktail parties and film screenings for like-minded book lovers who can engage in creative discourse. Speaking with Carolyn Gan, manager of the Young Lions, she said, “With Match.com, you have to sort through people to find those who want to lie in bed and read fiction. There’s no sorting if you are a Young Lion. Everyone loves literature.” Often these galas have what is called “tiered tickets” these tickets have different prices. Some of these parties have prices set for the cocktail party or after-dinner gathering etc. So if you cannot afford the $500 or $1000-a-plate dinner, ask if there is an option to join only the before or after festivities. In fact as a writer I can tell you from someone who does attend these events, if you really want to meet someone, the cocktail hour is key for this. That is where everyone mingles and if you are coming alone and you miss the cocktail hour you might be seated at a couples table. Everyone I talked with at the gala about this article really felt that charity events are the best place to meet that someone special or friends for life. But of course you can’t make everyone happy. Speaking with this man whose name he did not want me to mention, told me that he is a regular to these events and is always looking for his soul mate did meet a woman at the Cancer Society Gala he later found out she spent 9 months in an upstate prison for a white collar crime. There is always going to be the random party crasher I guess. But, I think his story was unusual for this situation so I figured I would tell it. Okay so now let me help YOU GET READY for the Gala. Your chariot awaits. First find the charity….How to find a charity….Google it for yourself locally. This site tells you by charity http://charitymile.com/index.php?do=/public/causes/ DON’T HAVE A DRESS? Sharon Gilchrist, a former model who made trades for fancy designer gowns that she realized she would only wear once and leave hanging in her closet. One day realized what a fabulous idea it would be to rent out top designer gowns to Ladies attending all of the award ceremonies and charity events around L.A., these Ladies could rent a gown for a fraction of the retail price, wear it once and return the gown. Why not !!! Men have been doing this for years:: renting tuxedo's !!! The whole industry is reversed, a man can wear the same tuxedo 10 - 20 times and no one will say a thing. Once a woman is seen and photographed in a gown, she doesn't want to wear it again and it will end up hanging in her closet. By 1989 One Night Affair was written up in "Los Angeles Magazine's" BEST OF LA, which turned LA's hottest secret into LA's hottest shop to make you look like a million dollars without spending it. Two months later, One Night Affair purchased it's competition "Dressed to Kill" Couture for Hire in West Hollywood. Combining these two stores One Night Affair became the largest and most successful Gown Rental store in the country. Housing over 1500 wedding gowns, 1200 evening gowns, hundreds of different bridesmaid styles, mother of the bride and flowergirl dresses, complimented by a full line of accessories. One Night Affair had also turned into the premiere source in LA for the Entertainment Industries Wardrobe Departments. Hundreds of gowns are fitted on stars for Movies, Television Shows, Commercials and print ads every week. In 2002, One Night Affair dressed over 600 ladies for the academy awards, why not wear the Gown of your dream without spending thousands of dollars. Why spend a small fortune on a Wedding Gown only to box it up and store it in the garage! How many woman have bridesmaid dresses hanging in their closet that will never be worn again? Let's not forget those expensive Prom Gowns that your daughter will never look at again once she graduates from high school !!! Renting a Gown just makes sense!!! Here is the link for getting that gown or dress.. http://www.onenightaffair.com/view.php?what=aboutus Okay, so now you got the dress, the party and well…. This means hair and nails ladies should be flawless for an event like this so if you are looking to put your hair up bravo. Make those appointments the day of the event so that your hair and nails are just perfect. Want your hair to make your face look thinner…When looking for the right face-slimming haircut, the first thing to consider is the actual shape of your face. Round faces are roughly as wide as they are tall… and since you’re reading this, your face is probably rounder than you would like. But whether your face is round, square-ish, rectangular or heart-shaped, the goal typically remains the same: to make your face appear oval-shaped -- length about one and a half times its width, with your jaw-line being slightly narrower than your forehead. Erik von Spindler, a stylist at Lukaro Salon in Beverly Hills says the right cut can help trick the mind’s eye and make your face appear more slender. Layering is key for achieving that effect, he says, and there are also specific hairstyles to avoid. “No bobs and no short hair,” says von Spindler. “Think vertical stripes on slacks or a dress as opposed to horizontal stripes.” Stylist Shellye Bolton at Scottsdale, Arizona's Spa Du Soleil, agrees. “I would probably not do anything too short, not do anything too wide, and have some fringing and soft lines around the face to conceal part of the cheek area and chin,” she says, adding that hair should ideally fall somewhere between the bottom of the ear and the top of the shoulder. A side part will also help to de-emphasize your face’s circular symmetry. Bolton also notes that getting a cut that’s smoother and closer to the head can give the illusion of a thinner face. Another way to create the suggestion of length in the face by is adding some height to the top… but do so within reason. “Don’t get too big – none of the big Texas hairstyles,” she laughs. (That same “no” goes for avoiding the poofy, teased hair that was literally big in the eighties; and mullets are a big never -- no matter where you live or what the era.) Both stylists warn women with round faces to steer clear of blunt-cut bangs – a straight-cut fringe across the forehead, or, as Bolton puts it, “Don’t get the straight Buster Brown bangs of days of the old." While most stylists recommend against a hard line across the top of your head, you don’t necessarily have to avoid bangs altogether. “Pretty much every facial shape looks good with a little bit of a bang,” said Erin Fink, a stylist with Sachi Salon in Scottsdale. In addition to a flattering haircut, both von Spindler and Bolton suggest using highlighting and color creatively to help to make your face appear thinner. “Contrast is good because it creates shading, and shading is also slimming,” says Bolton. “So I wouldn’t put a big blonde hairdo on a very large woman. I would probably have some blondes mixed in with some browns for a sun-kissed look.” Although Von Spindler said he turns to highlighting to add some depth and dimension, still, he suggests not placing too much emphasis on color. “It’s really the cut that’s going to make you look slimmer,” he says. Another consideration in trying to make your face look thinner is to carefully consider what you use to wash, condition and style your hair. “Product has a lot to do with keeping your look," says Fink. "You just can’t wake up, blow dry your hair and think it’s going to look good all day." The right sprays, gels and creams can keep your hair in its most flattering form, boosting volume where you need it, and smoothing any rough spots. (Fink tells us that Bumble and Bumble styling crème has been a lifesaver for many of his clients.) Don't forget that hair accessories -- from clips to barrettes, ponytail holders to chopsticks -- can also help you maintain your 'do while adding a little personal zing to your look. Finally, don't think that having a circle-shaped face automatically means you don't look as hot as everyone else. Some of the world's most gorgeous women -- like Renee Zellweger, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta Jones, Drew Barrymore and Christina Ricci -- were blessed with round faces. You can bet that they have all learned how to pick the most complementary hairstyles, makeup and clothes for their million-dollar images. (Get more information about figuring out your face shape and hairstyles for round faces in this article!) And as these also girls prove, there is no one single haircut for round faces – you have a variety of flattering options. Make your goal to seek balance and proportion, and with a little trial and error, you will find a hairstyle that suits you (and slims you!) perfectly. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR UNDER A GARMENT TO SLIM ME INSTANTLY AND HOW DO I DRESS TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK THINNER? Buy clothes that fit you. Whether you are a size 8 or a size 48, if you wear the wrong size clothes, you'll end up looking bigger than you are. Wearing clothes that are too tight leads to bulges and lumps, just as choosing clothes which are too large adds to your size and makes you look bigger. Try things on before you buy them! Make sure you are wearing the right underwear. This is important. Thongs and g-strings are all well and good if you have no fat on your body, but if you want to give the illusion of a skinny figure, go for supportive styles which help to pull in the tummy. A well fitting bra can also help to create a smoother slimmer figure. Take the time to go get a free bra fitting at an underwear store, or just spend a good hour at the local clothing store trying on different bras, and keep an open mind about your size. Highlight your good bits. If you have a beautiful slender neck, but a bit of weight on your waistline, draw attention to your neck with an eye catching necklace, or other accessories. If you have toned arms, wear a sleeveless top to make the most of your assets 1. Work on your posture. Stand up straight, pull your stomach in, and your shoulders back. You can practice posture by balancing a book on your head and walking - the book shouldn't fall off! Whenever you get the chance, look in the mirror and make sure you are not hunched over. This is possibly the MOST important tip, as bad posture can add pounds visually. Wear more black! Black virtually slims out everyone, and reduces the appearance of belly fat, muffin tops, and love handles. Black can easily be dressed up with a nice colored belt, jewelery or the perfect shoe. "Shapewear" refers to body-shaping undergarments that take off the inches without a single visit to the gym! Never heard of this stuff? Well, if you are going to a gala you want to look as smooth as possible. Shapewear, by any name, is hardly new.

This comes with all types of options and kit sizes for all types of amazing results. Lose water weight bathtub style…. The bathtub is the preferred tool for SWEATING IT OUT based on the outside humidity in total submersion, which is 100%. The higher the humidity, the less the evaporation, and the more your body must sweat to cool core body temperature. This is why athletes will sweat more in a steam room than in a dry sauna. Fill the bathtub with water that does not burn the hand but causes moderate pain if the hand is moved underwater. Set an alarm clock next to the bath for 10 minutes, and preferably have someone who will also alert you at the 10-minute mark. Submerge your entire body and head in the bathtub, entering which should take at least 2 minutes. For ease of entry and to minimize movement, sit cross-legged at the front of the bath and lay down slowly, putting your head underwater so that only your face is exposed to the air and pointing towards the ceiling. If you feel faint at any point or when you reach 10 minutes, exit the tub and run cold water over your scalp but no other areas; ideally, place an ice pack on your head and neck instead of using water. Towel off, but do not shower, as you will reabsorb water through the skin. I have seen elite wrestlers make the mistake of taking a shower the morning of weigh-ins, only to find they have gained 2-3 lbs.! Do not make this mistake – avoid showers completely until weigh-ins. After toweling off and urinating, weigh yourself. Pretty amazing huh>>> This can really get you into your dress, but remember Cinderella this is water weight, you have to take it easy or by midnight your undergarments might be feeling a little constraining if you know what I mean. Try not to dehydrate yourself!! You have to drink water and make sure you are not depleting your body’s potassium reserves. Tip. Make sure to drink liquids that have caffeine in them. Drinks such as tea or coffee have caffeine in them. The caffeine acts like a diuretic and will help you to get rid of any excess water that might cause you to feel bloated. Also, important is not to eat anything with salt during the day you need to lose weight. The salt in the food will make you retain water, so try avoiding salty foods during this time. Tip. Eat vegetables and fruits. During the 24 hours that you want to lose weight, be sure to be eating a lot of vegetables and fruits. The veggies and fruits will make you feel full. You can eat carrots and apples. Also eating raw cabbage is good to eat. You could also eat hard boiled eggs, milk, and yogurt will help you in losing weight. Tip. A great idea also is that if you live in a city that offers, "slimming wraps", you could go and get one of those done. This process will allow you to lose a lot of inches in a very short time. Some of these places say that you will not gain the inches back, unless you put the weight back on by eating unhealthy or lack of exercise. Click here to read about body wrapping at home. You can do a 24 hour diet or a 48 hour diet if the event is in a couple of days. This takes off weight the fast and of course you can lose 10 pounds or more with a diet like these, Click here to read more about the 24 hour diet, click here to read more about the 48 hour diet. Some tips Tip. Drink three glasses of grape juice and skip eating food for the day. You can also drink some other kinds of juice if you wish, but just make sure you drink three glasses of grape juice. Grape juice has a laxative effect. Make sure to also skip eating any food during the day, so that your body will burn a little bit of fat in the form of energy. -Don't eat any carbohydrates at all during the day you are going to an event…. Carbs will give you calories and make you feel bloated. So you have been reading all this and your still thinking fuck it I will just have water till the event! Here are some tips on how to do that. 1. Water Fasting for even ONE day can help you start receiving the benefits of this life-saving practice - as well as give you tangible experience as to how your body reacts while you abstain from solid food. Water fasting can do wonders for your digestive system. To be sure, the digestive system is very grateful when it is given an opportunity to repose from the often never-ending process of digestion. When given this break, the body is able to shift its focus to healing other organs and areas that may be ill - not to mention the massive intestinal cleansing that fasting facilitates. One-day water fasting done in a methodical and regular manner provides the kind of rest that can dramatically help your digestive system and overall health. One-day fasting can help you lose weight in a sustainable way. This method is safe because you do not have to embark in any grueling exercise regimes, or take any type of medication to receive the weight loss and detoxification benefits. Water fasting for a full 24-hour cycle once a week or once every two weeks is definitely the way to go if you are new to this practice. Try it out once and the success will increase your self confidence and often lead you to venture out to longer periods of fasting. Such was the case with me. Step 2 Proper Fasting Here is a method of doing one day water fasts: *Decide on a particular day for that 24-hour-cycle, do not eat any solid food. *When hunger strikes, drink a large glass of water. *You can start, say, by eating your last meal at 8PM and then going to bed, fasting the entire following day, and breaking the fast at 8PM that evening. Successful fasting has three stages: preparation, the actual fast, and breaking the fast. Each one of these stages is important. Step 3 Preparing to Fast It is very important that you prepare yourself both mentally and physically before a fast or you will find it difficult to go one day without food. The mental preparation is simple, but very important. Do this: *The night before the fast make a firm resolution that you will not eat no matter how much hunger strikes. *Taking a firm stand helps you stick to your decision. *Firm determination will give you strength when you are tempted to give up. Physical preparation is also very important. The day before you fast, prepare your body by eating a normal amount of food. * Do not by any means over-eat thinking that you are storing food for the fast. This will cause very uncomfortable cramps and the hunger pains will more than likely be stronger than they would otherwise. Step 4 The Fasting Day During the fasting period, it is best to limit yourself to light physical tasks and to concentrate as much as possible on introspection and spirituality. Use this fasting period constructively. Meditate on scriptures, pray or read inspirational books - spend some time taking stock of where you are in life, and what are some of the areas that you would like to improve. These can be spiritual, mental, physical, social and even financial. It is often helpful to write a list of issues you would like to resolve and then use the time of fasting praying and meditating to receive inspiration and guidance. *If you are unable to take this "time out" because of an active work or family schedule, then go about your business but maintain an "internal" attitude of prayer, meditation and contemplation. The way I accomplish this is by not allowing time to consume my thoughts but, rather, I make it a point to go from moment to moment - focusing only on what I am doing one second, one minute at a time. You will be surprise just how often we go about our day-to-day activities thinking only of the future or obsessing over the past. This negates the present moment and can keep us in a state of confusion, stress and restlessness. Step 5 Breaking the Fast Benefits of fasting can be truly enjoyed only if you break the fast in the right manner. Do not do like I did at first and break a period of fasting with a full-course meal. You can get stomach cramps and, in some cases, become seriously ill. On the morning or evening following the fast, break it by either drinking water with lime or grape juice diluted with water. Drinking lemon juice with a pinch of salt helps flush out toxins from your digestive system. Wait approximately four hours and then have some soup or light salad with lime. Please - NO heavy dressings at this point! Four hours after that you can have a light meal of poultry, salad and maybe steamed vegetables or brown rice. The next day you can resume your regular eating habits. Of course, the period of fasting hopefully will give you time to meditate on how you have been eating. It is important to realize that fasting only to return to destructive eating will limit the benefitsAfter you break the fast, make a resolution that you will start to move away from destructive eating. This is not done in a day, and you may stumble much - but no matter what, keep going and never give up! Periodic fasting such as the one described here is definitely one of the elements of a balanced and sustainable weight loss program.
