The Law of Attraction
Did you know that every thought that we think creates a vibration? Negative thoughts create negative feelings that lead to low frequency vibrations, whereas positive thoughts create positive feelings that produce high frequency vibrations. According to the universal Law of Attraction, "vibes" attract like "vibes". Have you ever noticed how, when you're feeling down and depressed, you attract situations that are in line with your state of mind? So logically,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots, the key to attracting only the things that you desire into your life, is to vibrate positive energy. Okay, that sounds simple enough...but how do you DO that?
"If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think." - Oprah
We spend far too much time worrying -- about the future, about paying the bills, about upcoming exams, about our health, about getting that promotion. What we're actually doing when we worry about any situation, is concentrating all our energy on something that we don't want. Hate, worry, fear, jealousy, anger, sadness are all emotions that make us vibrate negatively. By focusing on unwanted situations we are actually attracting the exact situations that we want to avoid! We would be doing ourselves a favor by focusing only what we DO want, instead of wasting time and energy on the things that we DON'T want.
Opposites Do Not Attract
Obviously, no one can feel good all day long, every day. The key is to do the things that make you feel good as often as you can. Play uplifting music while you drive to work, avoid the television programs that produce negative feelings, don't read the newspaper if the content affects you negatively, interact only with positive-minded people... just let go and have fun! Learn to monitor your thoughts...if you notice yourself thinking a negative thought, immediately negate its effect by focusing on something that makes you feel good. Remember, there is nothing more important than feeling good! Keep a photo of your kids or pet or favorite actor nearby to help you make that switch. Be grateful for the things that are going well in your life,Q. What's the problem with getting enough exercise. Do whatever it takes to generate that upbeat feeling, because opposites do not attract,Involved in too much fighting...but like certainly will attract like. The Law of Attraction is on the mark each time and it does not make mistakes!
"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill
In order to get what you desire in life, you have to give those desires regular attention,two back. Fantasize, dream, imagine, focus... for what you create in your mind, you create in reality. If it's a specific car that you want, order a brochure of it and look through it every day. Think about what color you want and which accessories and options your model has. If it's a fantasy vacation in the Maldives or the Caribbean, compile your own colorful screensaver, fantasize about those white beaches and crystal clear waters abundant with tropical fish. Paste pictures of your dream home or that sleek yacht that you desire on a board and look at it often. Be excited about it! Focus wholeheartedly and with certainty on what you want, and do so in this moment. Believe that you have what you desire now, today, in this present moment. Focus on how good that makes you feel, and try to generate that feeling as often as you can.
Don't confuse the Law of Attraction by being inconsistent in your desires. Don't keep changing your mind, otherwise there's no way for what you ask for to find its way to you. Be consistent, be determined...but leave the "how" out of it. If you decide the method and schedule by which your desires will come to you, you're limiting your possibilities to only what you can think of. After all, what if there's something better out there than what you can imagine? Just trust that it is happening now and allow it to come to you. Follow where your intuition leads you. Don't worry about it, don't look for proof, don't start doubting.
Affirmations are a form of advertising
If you do find that doubts and negative self-talk are getting in your way, you can apply positive affirmations. When used consistently, affirmations will do away with your limiting beliefs and replace them with thoughts that will help you achieve what you desire. Does advertising work? Sure it does - there's a multibillion dollar industry that proves it and affirmations are a form of advertising with only you as the target audience. Affirmations must be stated in the "I" form, in the present tense and always positively. They should also invoke a positive emotion. For instance: "I deserve large sums of money that allow me to have more fun with my family", "I choose to effortlessly earn $100,000 per year", "I enjoy working out regularly and maintaining a trim and slim body that turns heads", "I choose to attract only healthy and positive people into my life who help me achieve my goals"; "I choose to create a positive, healthy and joyful lifestyle for myself". You can write them down everyday, or use them as a screensaver, or buy special affirmation or goal setting software that you can use on your computer.
If you're skeptical about how the Law of Attraction can affect you, just try being happy and positive for a month. It will amaze you how easy it is to get things going your way in that short period of time. A lot can be achieved in relatively little time -- why waste any of it by being negative? Get out there and manifest what you want!

there is life and peace. And that life is given to us by the Word of God
Katrina Victims
The initial disaster is over,where working alone as its downfall.. But chaos remains. Many lives were lost. Perhaps you lost loved ones or still don't know whether they are still alive.
Everything was destroyed—your housing, clothes, all your valued possessions, automobiles, jobs, your friends are scattered, and most importantly your dreams were shattered.
Emotions are running wild inside you and everyone around you. Questions go unanswered. Not only about what happened, but where do you go from here?
Can you rebuild your old life? Unfortunately, no. Can you build a new life? Yes,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots! Will it be easy? No. Will it be worth it? Yes!
Where do you find the strength to move forward? God will give you strength in your time of need. You have a lot of major decisions to sort through in the next few months and God will give you discernment on what to do.
When you feel like everyone has failed you, you can always turn to God for help.
"I'm sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left. GOD proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It's a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from GOD." Lamentations 3:24-26 (The Message)
During this time of unrest you may find yourself putting your hope into various things—the government, people who have reached out to help you or your own abilities. But the solid, unchangeable hope of God is what will sustain you in the long haul.
The mind-set of instant change and instant gratification that is so prominent in Americans must be discarded to avoid needless stress and anxiety in the months ahead. Change will come, but probably not at the fast pace you desire.
So how do you remain patient during this time? By realizing that just as it took you so many years to get to where you were before the disaster hit, it will take time to build your new life. A better life.
Knowing a couple of things ahead of time will help you through this process of building your life. First, there is grief to deal with. Grief over the loss of loved ones, over the loss of your possessions, your job, your status in life, over the separation from friends and familiar surroundings, and even your place of worship.
However, grief does not have to consume you,and the see how easy it is to let go. Yes, it will take time to go through the grieving process, but it does not have to ruin your life to the point that you cannot function at a normal level.
Second, reaching out and loving others will help you build your life quicker. It will help you be able to handle everything you are dealing with. Love never fails to provide an answer to what you are going through (1 Corinthians 13:8). When you find yourself arguing with someone over some stupid little thing, decide to stop the argument and begin showing love to that person or family. God always gives you His peace when you do this.
Third, your attitudes will carry you a long way. They will set you up for success or failure. This is discussed in more detail later in this book. But for right now, know that with God all things are possible! Nothing is too hard for Him.
Fourth, maintaining peace in your heart keeps problems from developing or getting worse,Obsessive Focus. God's peace is available to us:
"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give {and} bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" John 14:27 (Amplified)
The Bible tells us that when the Holy Spirit (Who lives inside Christians) controls our mind, there is life and peace. And that life is given to us by the Word of God (the Bible). So if you find yourself seeking peace, begin reading the Bible. If you don't have one, ask for one or borrow one. You might begin with the Book of Psalms as it describes people in trials and their heartfelt cries to God and God's faithful response to them. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comfort and guidance He provided His people throughout history He will also provide for you.
The outcome of the new life you build depends upon the choices you make right now. You can either become bitter or better. God's ways are always to forgive, restore relation-ships, and move on with your life. If you are surrounded by people who only see the negative and continue to stir up strife, it is best to withdraw from their company.
Many will question whether this catastrophe was brought on by God. In this Age God acts out of love, not judgment. I can tell you with complete confidence that God loves you. He knows the hurt and heartache you are going through. He wants to comfort you, to guide you, to help you build a better life.
God created you for a specific purpose. You have a mission in life. God wants to reveal His vision for your life and help you accomplish it. This is discussed later on in this book. Right now He wants to give you hope for a better life. A life filled with His love, peace, and purpose. Remember, nothing is impossible for God.

but it can help you to assess whether or not you should consider taking a home
Online Pregnancy Test
You can find just about anything on the internet these days. Even an online
pregnancy test! Ok, so the test isn't based on scientific analysis of your blood or
urine, but it can help you to assess whether or not you should consider taking a home
pregnancy test.
Not all online pregnancy tests are alike. Many of them give you a list of possible
symptoms and allow you to decide if you have any of these. Then using the date of
your last period as a guide marker, the site hosting the online pregnancy test will give
you a possible due date for your baby if you are indeed pregnant,if you want a softer line.. It doesn't give any
information on the likelihood of this, instead it leaves it up to you to decide.
Other online pregnancy tests are a little more complicated. Using a series of tick
boxes, they ask you a list of questions that cover the date of your last period, your
sexual activity around that time, your age,conscientiousness, general health issues such as stress and
physical condition, which symptoms (from the list) that you are experiencing and
what, if any, form of birth control you use.
The site then analyses your results and although it can't give a true result, the online
pregnancy test will tell you if they think it's likely that you need to take a pregnancy
test. Of course, neither of these approaches are going to put your mind at rest. Most
women if they suspect will need to take the home pregnancy test anyway, just to make
sure one way or the other.
Whether or not you are pregnant is not the only online pregnancy test available. Once
pregnant, there are a number of other fun online pregnancy tests which will analyse
the answers to the questions they ask and tell you whether or not you are going to
have a baby boy or baby girl. How accurate these are is mixed - often the site will tell
you their success rate,"We're a perfect fit,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots, or have a forum to discuss it.
Although the online pregnancy test is unable to give you definite answers, it's a
starting point if you suddenly realize that there's a possible connection between a
number of seemingly unrelated symptoms - and the best thing is that like any
information on the internet - you get fast results!

What is Evil Eye
What is Evil Eye?
The Evil Eye has been around since the beginning of time. It simply means sending someone a thought that seems intrusive or invasive or has the power to hurt him or her. The bad fortune that results is considered to have been caused by envy. The evil eye is not necessarily considered to be intentional or associated with witchcraft or sorcery. Oddly enough, this thought form could actually be complimentary in nature. The origins of the Evil Eye are Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean. The concept was introduced into the Americas, South Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa and Australia by European explorers.
Sending someone the evil eye comes from the concept that we all have a Third Eye, located in the center of our forehead. Blinding, fogging or obscuring the third eye is often the intent of the energy's sender. Most of us have experienced the weird power of the phenomenon. All it takes is a gaze that seems to be unfriendly, indifferent or blank and seems to a couple of seconds too long. We think about it for a few minutes afterwards or perhaps an image of the person staring at us preoccupies our thoughts occasionally for the rest of the day. Perhaps that is why the British and Scottish term for the evil eye is overlooking. It implies that a gaze has remained too long upon the coveted object, person or animal.
The evil eye is also known as the envious or invidious eye. In Italian it is called the malocchio and in Spanish the malojo (loosely translated as the bad eye) The evil eye is known as ayin horeh in Hebrew; ayin harsha in Arabic, droch shuil in Scotland, mauvais oeil in France, bösen Blick in Germany, and was known as oculus malus among the classical Romans.
The original belief is that any person can harm your children, livestock, fruit trees or any other evidence of prosperity just by looking at the spoils of all your good will and hard work with envy. Ironically, the curse of the evil eye is thought to be provoked by inappropriate displays of spiritual pride or excessive beauty. There is a theory that very famous people and celebrities suffer more personal misfortune than others simply because they are subjected to more overlooking and envy than others.
This superstition might have some grounding in evolutionary psychology as usually one animal is thought to dominate or be aggressive to another simply by staring at it for too long. Psychologically speaking, staring or glaring at someone is officially considered an intrusion into your affairs. Apparently, there is a fine line between casting a glance to casting a spell. In these post Celestine Prophecy times, this kind of stare could be compared to a kind of etheric laser beam or amoebic arm that rips open your aura. Others would describe the infliction of the evil eye as the projection of an image (such as the image of the person you have offended or hurt) so that you see only that to the exclusion of all other sight. In other words, you see that person wherever you go or feel that your life's events are always colored by your dealing with that person. Another symptom is the inability to proceed with ordinary, daily events without feeling somehow compelled to make things ri!
ght with the person you have often unknowingly offended with your grandiosity.
It is common folklore that the evil eye has a dehydrating effect on its victim. It is thought to cause vomiting, diarrhea, the drying up of the milk of nursing mothers and livestock, problems with the blood, eyesight lack of rain, the drying up of wells, the withering of fruit and impotence in men. Clumsiness, stomachaches, dry coughs, diarrhea, itching, hair loss, dry skin are all thought to be physical symptoms of an evil eye attack e. On the astral level it is thought to cause the drying up of prana, chi, life force and the easy flow of prosperity in life. Part of this image might derive from the idea also, of muddy, murky or poisoned vision that is somehow attached to the victim's third eye.
Almost everywhere that the evil eye belief exists, it is said to be caused accidentally by envy or praise. Thus the phrase Pride Goeth Before a Fall In certain Mediterranean and eastern cultures, one is careful not to praise a child too much, lest it invite the subconscious balancing effect of the evil eye. A classic situation would be the barren woman who praises the newborn baby of a new child. Such praise would be considered inappropriate and thought to bring the evil child. One of the remedies for this would be for the mother to spit, to symbolically rehydrate the situation. Also, she may speak ill of the child OT counteract the effects of the praise, which might have malefic effects on the child later.
The belief that individuals have the power to cast the evil eye on purpose is more idiosyncratic to Sicily and Southern Italy,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots, although the belief has certainly spread elsewhere to the Southern United States and the Latin Americas. Such people are known as jettatore (projectors). They are not necessarily considered evil or envious, just born with an unfortunate embarrassing talent that causes others to avoid them. In ancient cultures, if you were thought to be the possessor of an evil eye, you were often negated by the rest of society and went unrecognized on the street without meeting anyone's eyes.
Perhaps one of the most familiar preventative measures against the evil eye is the hand gesture. The Mano Cornufo or Horned Hand involves extending the first and index fingers from a fist. The Mano Fico or Fig hand involves placing the thumb in between first and second fingers.
Historically there have been many cures for the evil eye:
In Italy, the evil eye is diagnosed by dripping olive oil into a vessel filled with water. If the oil conglomerates into the shape of an eye than the victim is considered officially cursed. Prayers are recited until the droplets of oil no longer create an eye shape.
In Eastern Europe charcoal, coal or burnt match heads are dropped into a pan of water/. If the items float then the person is considered to be the victim of a curse.
In the Ukraine, a form of ceromancy or candle reading is used to diagnose the curse. Melted wax is dripped from a candle into a pan of water. If the wax spits, splatters, or sticks to the side of the bowl then the patient is considered to be under the influence of the malefic eye. Usually the patient is cleansed with Holy Water. He or she is pronounced cured when the dripped wax sinks the bottom of the bowl in a round ball.
In Greece Mexico and other places, the official cure is to invite the culprit responsible for the evil eye to spit in a vessel of the holy water that is consumed by the victim.
In Mexico, rolling a raw egg over the body of the victim is the antidote. Afterwards, it is cracked open and if the metaphysician or healer divines the shape of an eye in the yolks then the person is considered to be cursed. Several eggs may be repeatedly rolled over the person's body until an egg without an eye if found. Sometimes the egg is placed underneath the person's bed overnight and cracked open in the morning.
In China the remedy for the evil eye is the Pa Kua mirror, a six-sided mirror that is hung on the front door or placed in the front window to reverse bad energy back to the sender. Some of these mirrors are convex to reflect back the bad poison darts or arrows of multiple ill wishers and some are concave to reflect energy in a definite direction back at, for instance, a nosy neighbor, whose gaze may have lingered on your garden of tulips for too long. In Feng Shui, mirrors are often used as a cure all to reflect negative energy back at all kinds of things people, bad architecture, traffic, neighbors, physical obstructions such as trees or rocks or anything else that might considered to be a conductor of Har Shui (negative vibrations).
In India the mirroring back of the evil eye takes the form of small mirrors that are sewn, braided or crocheted into clothing. This mirroring back of bad energy is also familiar to practitioners of Wicca and Lukumi or Santeria. In India, the human eye is also considered to be a mirror of the soul. Indian women wear kohl or heavy black makeup to emphasize their eyes not only to shield themselves from evil eye but also to prevent themselves from accidentally inflicting it on others. In India cords strung with blue beads are placed on newborn babies. When the cord breaks and the beads are lost the child is considered to have a strong enough aura to protect him or herself from the evil eye. Red cords worn upon the wrist or neck are thought to have a powerful effect against ocular malevolence. A silver charm called Eye of Buddha which references the Gautama Buddha is also worn against astral attack.
In Italy, gold, silver or gems carved or cast into the shape of the Mano Fica or Mano Cornufa are used to repel the evil. The most coveted ones are made of red coral, but many versions exist today made of gemstones and plastic. They are worn by men to protect against the withering of the genitals thought to be caused by the bad eye. Also Italian in origin is the Corno or horn or devil's horn amulet that is thought to protect against the same dysfunction. The women's version is made from a twig of red coral.
In Arab cultures, superstitious types wear an eye in the form of a stone cast in the center of a hand shaped bone or metal charm A common Egyptian charm is the Buckle of Isis which represents the menstrual pad of the Goddess Isis who was the Mother of all living things. Stuffing a little prayer or spell inside a locket that is hung around the neck is the common European custom for protecting oneself against deadly gazes.
A light worker such as myself might advise you to protect yourself in the following contemporary ways:
Always maintain the belief that nobody has the power to hurt you with a look. This in itself is a very powerful thought form.
Before you go out, imagine that your third eye is actually covered by something that looks like a small pocket mirror. If you are a psychic or a healer then simply close your third eye and don't open it unless you want to look.
If you are feeling haunted or upset as the result of a look, press your thumb hard into the center of your forehead and imagine your third eye quickly flipping. Flick the energy away with your thumb and snap your fingers.
Always remember that what you resist often persists. The phrase Oh, so what! is one of the most powerful chemicals in the universe that you can use to dissolve negative energy.

A classic situation would be the barren woman who praises the newborn baby of a new child. Such praise would be considered inappropriate and thought to bring the evil child. One of the remedies for this would be for the mother to spit, to symbolically rehydrate the situation. Also, she may speak ill of the child OT counteract the effects of the praise, which might have malefic effects on the child later.
The belief that individuals have the power to cast the evil eye on purpose is more idiosyncratic to Sicily and Southern Italy,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots, although the belief has certainly spread elsewhere to the Southern United States and the Latin Americas. Such people are known as jettatore (projectors). They are not necessarily considered evil or envious, just born with an unfortunate embarrassing talent that causes others to avoid them. In ancient cultures, if you were thought to be the possessor of an evil eye, you were often negated by the rest of society and went unrecognized on the street without meeting anyone's eyes.
Perhaps one of the most familiar preventative measures against the evil eye is the hand gesture. The Mano Cornufo or Horned Hand involves extending the first and index fingers from a fist. The Mano Fico or Fig hand involves placing the thumb in between first and second fingers.
Historically there have been many cures for the evil eye:
In Italy, the evil eye is diagnosed by dripping olive oil into a vessel filled with water. If the oil conglomerates into the shape of an eye than the victim is considered officially cursed. Prayers are recited until the droplets of oil no longer create an eye shape.
In Eastern Europe charcoal, coal or burnt match heads are dropped into a pan of water/. If the items float then the person is considered to be the victim of a curse.
In the Ukraine, a form of ceromancy or candle reading is used to diagnose the curse. Melted wax is dripped from a candle into a pan of water. If the wax spits, splatters, or sticks to the side of the bowl then the patient is considered to be under the influence of the malefic eye. Usually the patient is cleansed with Holy Water. He or she is pronounced cured when the dripped wax sinks the bottom of the bowl in a round ball.
In Greece Mexico and other places, the official cure is to invite the culprit responsible for the evil eye to spit in a vessel of the holy water that is consumed by the victim.
In Mexico, rolling a raw egg over the body of the victim is the antidote. Afterwards, it is cracked open and if the metaphysician or healer divines the shape of an eye in the yolks then the person is considered to be cursed. Several eggs may be repeatedly rolled over the person's body until an egg without an eye if found. Sometimes the egg is placed underneath the person's bed overnight and cracked open in the morning.
In China the remedy for the evil eye is the Pa Kua mirror, a six-sided mirror that is hung on the front door or placed in the front window to reverse bad energy back to the sender. Some of these mirrors are convex to reflect back the bad poison darts or arrows of multiple ill wishers and some are concave to reflect energy in a definite direction back at, for instance, a nosy neighbor, whose gaze may have lingered on your garden of tulips for too long. In Feng Shui, mirrors are often used as a cure all to reflect negative energy back at all kinds of things people, bad architecture, traffic, neighbors, physical obstructions such as trees or rocks or anything else that might considered to be a conductor of Har Shui (negative vibrations).
In India the mirroring back of the evil eye takes the form of small mirrors that are sewn, braided or crocheted into clothing. This mirroring back of bad energy is also familiar to practitioners of Wicca and Lukumi or Santeria. In India, the human eye is also considered to be a mirror of the soul. Indian women wear kohl or heavy black makeup to emphasize their eyes not only to shield themselves from evil eye but also to prevent themselves from accidentally inflicting it on others. In India cords strung with blue beads are placed on newborn babies. When the cord breaks and the beads are lost the child is considered to have a strong enough aura to protect him or herself from the evil eye. Red cords worn upon the wrist or neck are thought to have a powerful effect against ocular malevolence. A silver charm called Eye of Buddha which references the Gautama Buddha is also worn against astral attack.
In Italy, gold, silver or gems carved or cast into the shape of the Mano Fica or Mano Cornufa are used to repel the evil. The most coveted ones are made of red coral, but many versions exist today made of gemstones and plastic. They are worn by men to protect against the withering of the genitals thought to be caused by the bad eye. Also Italian in origin is the Corno or horn or devil's horn amulet that is thought to protect against the same dysfunction. The women's version is made from a twig of red coral.
In Arab cultures, superstitious types wear an eye in the form of a stone cast in the center of a hand shaped bone or metal charm A common Egyptian charm is the Buckle of Isis which represents the menstrual pad of the Goddess Isis who was the Mother of all living things. Stuffing a little prayer or spell inside a locket that is hung around the neck is the common European custom for protecting oneself against deadly gazes.
A light worker such as myself might advise you to protect yourself in the following contemporary ways:
Always maintain the belief that nobody has the power to hurt you with a look. This in itself is a very powerful thought form.
Before you go out, imagine that your third eye is actually covered by something that looks like a small pocket mirror. If you are a psychic or a healer then simply close your third eye and don't open it unless you want to look.
If you are feeling haunted or upset as the result of a look, press your thumb hard into the center of your forehead and imagine your third eye quickly flipping. Flick the energy away with your thumb and snap your fingers.
Always remember that what you resist often persists. The phrase Oh, so what! is one of the most powerful chemicals in the universe that you can use to dissolve negative energy.

set to take place in 2006
Who is the World's Most Beautiful Woman?
There are several contenders at the moment including Angelina Jolie, Aishwarya Rai and many others have been given this title recently. But the question remains. A quick search on Google for 'world's most beautiful woman' returns over 20 million results. With numerous articles on the subject in which authors name their favorites, or cite poll results from such and such publication, all claiming to know the answer. It would seem that with so many sources claiming the title belongs to one woman or another we may never have a definitive answer.
For decades beauty pageants have been held in attempts to discover the world's most beautiful woman and put her in the public eye. The first ever Miss Universe was crowned in 1952, however pageant history stretches back to 1921 with the first ever Inter-City Beauty pageant held in Atlantic City, which would later be re-christened with the more familiar moniker of Miss America (not to be confused with Miss USA). Since then there have been countless beauty pageants crowning Miss this and Miss that. But in the last 30 years these pageants have become repetitive, stale and boring. Not to mention hard to get into. They have strict rules for eligibility that include age restrictions for the Miss Universe Organization you must be between the ages of 18 and 27. You cannot be married (or have children one would assume), you cannot currently or in the past have participated in previous Miss Universe Organization pageants; state, national or otherwise (ie Miss USA or state pageants). Not to mention the entry fees charged just to apply for entry. To get into Miss Universe you have to have won the Miss USA beauty pageant (or equivalent in another country), and you are not allowed to participate in any other beauty pageants while you are entered or while "holding the crown" if you win.
With most of these beauty pageants being held only once a year it is difficult for pageant fans to maintain interest in the "off season". Also consider that the pageant shows themselves remain the same year to year with very little variation or straying from the formula. The same competitions, questions and hosts, the only thing different is the women. Which of course is not a bad thing, however it is this repetitiveness that will be the undoing of beauty pageants as we know them today.
What would be the next logical step? What could someone do to evolve beauty pageants from what we are accustomed to and bring them into the 21st century? The answer is right in front of you, why not take the pageant online and make it available all year long? If you dig deep enough, or look in the right places you may find inklings that a person or two had this idea and there are a small handful of websites claiming to be online beauty pageants. Most of them seem more like afterthoughts or even a jest, but there is one that looks to be a diamond in the rough.

You can be in your thirties, married with children and still have a chance to participate in a world class beauty pageant. This contest will do away with the majority of stale 'traditions' that major beauty pageants still carry. The primary pageant is taking place online right now as you read this.

Summer 2009's color is a far cry from the nudes of past seasons.
7 Steps to Naturally Pretty Makeup For a Summer Romance by Janice Tham
Summer 2009 makeup tends towards pretty colors. Gone are the boring nudes. What are they compared to this season's dramatic eyes and glorious bursts of color? Summer 2009's color is a far cry from the nudes of past seasons.
How do you wean yourself off nudes and add some pretty color to your face without looking like a clown? Too much color, done incorrectly, can look garish, not gorgeous.
Go for that naturally pretty look. A bright, radiant look befitting a bride. Or the high school cheer leader.
Wear pink!
There are several ways to wear makeup this season.
You can focus on the eyes with dramatic eyes in pretty colors, but with the rest of your face pale, or in neutral tones.
You can focus on the lips for a sexy pout, lots of lashes, but the rest of the face relatively bare.
Or you could go for a pretty pink on cheeks, eyes and lips for all over glow.
Pink bridges the gap between color and nudes. It gives you a believable rosy glow that is radiant and pretty. Yet it does not try to hide the fact that you are wearing some makeup, albiet light makeup.
Here's how you can get that pretty pink all over look in just 7 steps:
1. Start with great skin. Or at least, the illusion of great skin by applying foundation or tinted moisturizer to even your skin tone. Pick one that matches your skin exactly. Dot it onto your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin and blend in thoroughly with your finger tips for a dewy finish.
2. Take a large blusher brush and pick up a baby pink cheek color if you are fair, a medium rose if you have medium to dark skin or fuschia if you have ebony skin. Dust the blush on your cheeks. The dust the remaining blush on the brush lightly across your forehead, nose and chin for all over radiance.
3. Apply a pink eyeshadow on your entire eyelid with an eyeshadow blush. Pink a pink that is a shade brighter or darker than your blush.
4. With your eyeshadow brush, apply a lilac or mauve eyeshadow (violet if you have ebony skin) in the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner of your eyes.
5. Line the inner corners of the eyes with white shimmer eyeshadow. Dip a clean eyeliner brush in water, then run it over the eyeshadow and use that to paint the inner corners of your eyes.
6. Line the upper lash line and outer edge of the lower lash line with black khol. Apply 2 coats of black mascara,letting the first coat dry completely before putting on the second coat,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Grey Boots. Remember to separate the lashes immediately after each coat of mascara by using a clean mascara wand.
7. Use a lip brush and paint baby pink lipstick on your lips if you are fair. If you have medium to dark skin, paint on a rose pink lipstick. If your skin is really dark, then use a fuschia lipstick. Dip the lipbrush into the lipstick and use the flat edge of the brush to line your lips. Pick up more color from the lipstick and paint in the rest of the lips.
That's it. You've got a pretty in pink look that is perfect for a summer romance.
