So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Types Of Sedu Hairstyles And Styling Procedures

By Hannah Moretti

Sedu is a brand of flat iron and hair styling tools that provide smooth, sleek hairstyles. It gives you a creative and gorgeous look easily and quickly. These sedu looks are made famous by many film actresses such as Jennifer Ainston.

Sedu is so popular for its high end technology in hair styling and design. Here is how it works: these sedu flat irons are able to reach maximum heat within no-time by omitting negative ions for protection. They use fine special plates that gives your hair fizz-free look without breaking and catching the hair.

Types of sedu hair styles:

There are mainly six shapes of faces that are considered while styling your hair. They are oblang, square, heart shaped, pear shaped, round, and oval shaped faces. Based on these shapes you can choose which style suits your face best.

Based on these face shapes three hairstyles are usually suggested by sedu brand people. The three styles are (i) casual and sleek, (ii) chic, (iii) the updo bun.

Here are the procedures to these sedu hair styles:

SEDU CASUAL AND SLEEK STYLE:

- Start with conditioner shampoo to your hair for at least for two minutes. This helps in making your hair soft and flatten your hair to prevent them from becoming damaging or drying. - Next, add hair serum and styling gel which makes your hair shine and sleek. It also gets rid from frizziness for that silky look. Then, give your hair a blow dry by pointing the drier nozzle down the hair shaft. - After drying your hair, keep the sedu flat iron by inserting a small section that is two inch of hair through these plates gliding down from root to the tip. - The final and most important part of your styling is give a shine spray to your hair. You can then use a flat iron iand don't brush it afterward.

SEDU CHIC STYLE:

- Wash your hair with conditioner and leave it for about two minutes. - Give a dry blow to your hair by dividing into two inch of hair and blow dry to half inch pieces with a round brush. - Hold for 4-6 seconds. Hold this round brush near your scalp and brush down your hair to the end of it. - Use hair shine spray and end with shine serum. Keep these to your palms and brush hair with your palms.

SEDU THE UPDO BUN:

- Follow the stops of the above styles until your hair becomes nice and straight. - Keep your help up with gel that firms back your hair into a ponytail and band it in ponytail place. Then, spray front and side ways of your hair with a firm holding spray. - Finally, make a barrel curl on your remaining ponytail hair with your index fingers. Hold it with pins and bobby pins and finish it with that form hold hair spray at last.

NOTE : Use sedu on dried hair for best results. Using sedu on wet hair causes breakage of the hair and may cause permanent damage to the hair.

DUI - A Reason For Relationships To Breakup

By Richard Milford

Driving under the influence of alcohol is sometimes taken for granted by most people and they keep on drinking and driving all at once. Some may have avoided the authorities along the way and some may have not. However, people must know of the negative consequences of a DUI.

One of the main causes of accidents is driving under the influence. This is because the drivers are not able in their intoxicated condition to concentrate on what is going happening on the road and the surrounding area. The vehicle may swerve towards innocent pedestrians or other cars and the results can be fatal, for the victims as well as the driver.

Those kinds of accidents affect the lives of many people. That includes the driver who will have to spend time in prison instead of doing something else that would be beneficial for them or their families.

If there is a death as a result of the accident and the person was the main support of the family it can not only cause much pain and heartache for the loss of the loved one but eventually reality sets in and the family has lost its financial support.

Even though a lot of sanctions have been ruled by the government for offenders of this nature, there are still a lot of persons who prefer to drink and drive at the same time. There are even those who would take drugs before driving or while driving just to keep them awake disregarding the fact that drugs are prohibited by the government for the reason that it renders the person the disability to control his mental and physical faculties. There is no guarantee that taking drugs would keep you awake and sane at the same time.

While some people prefer to live up to their macho image, authorities are always on the lookout for such. The vigilance of traffic officers today would get you in trouble with the authorities when caught on DUI.

The DUI driver will have many consequences for their bad judgment of driving under the influence. Automatic suspension of your license, fines and jail time, as well as the fact that it affects your whole family and not just yourself should be reasons enough to keep you from drinking and driving. On top of that, you most likely will find your name in the newspaper, an embarrassment for the whole family and your name will be tarnished forever.

It is up to you to take precautions against driving under the influence. Even if your friends or family want you to go out and drink with them, you have to make the final decision not to drink before driving home.

Never forget that there is a penalty for driving under the influence, regardless of whether you are high on drugs or have consumed alcohol. Possible punishments include a suspended license, imprisonment and fines. Publicity can only make things worse and ruin your name and maybe even career. If that is not enough, then at least consider what a DUI offense can do to your family.

Keeping Outhouses Comfortable With Storage Heaters

By Bessie Rowe

If there are unheated areas in your house that are not used to live in, you should consider installing a special-purpose storage heater. These small devices are usually indoor propane heaters, that is based on natural gas as a fuel.

Storing the electricity at non peak hours inside insulated materials and then utilizing it later is the underlying principle of storage heaters. In other words when base load electricity is available then the process of capturing and storing heat is performed which can then be utilized during peak hours of electricity consumption when the rates too become high. This enables in better saving and efficient utilization of resources.

Indoor propane heaters are common storage types of heaters which work on the principle of utilization of compressed gases like propane. Propane on combustion does not give any side products nor release any toxic gases due to which it forms a clean fuel and used in such heaters. However the need of ventilation can not be ignored too. Propane heaters have flexibility of being mounted on wall or hung anywhere adding to its popularity.

The basic control system of storage heaters involves two controls-one for recording the amount of electricity stored during the peak periods and other to record the amount of heat given away. These two controls can be adjusted by the user and hence provide flexibility to these heaters.

Storage kinds of heaters which are indoor propane heaters have an easy handling due to their compact nature. This is because of a propane cylinder attachment making them as a complete compact unit. Apart from it you can also transport them anywhere around due to wheels attached thus providing mobility.

These heaters heat up only a specific region of your house or any other indoor place without requiring the load to heat up the entire place. The place it heats up is generally a non-insulated portion of your home.

Precautionary measures like compatibility of nozzle, hoses and pipes with indoor propane heaters and ensuring the controlled and confined emission of flame are a must which need to be ensured along with looking out for benefits of indoor propane heaters.

Apart from it an optimum storage of heat is also crucial for proper working. Excess heat storage may lead to faster leakage thereby leading to wastage of heat. Also deficient heat storage may not seem sufficient during long cold periods. Thus care should be taken on the amount of heat getting stored in these storage heaters and thus maximizing their performance.
