Bridal Make time for two on holidays Couples say that planning a wedding tested their

the wedding day was putting all that stress behind them. And if you agree with that, brace yourself, because you and your spouse are about to embark on another challenge – getting through the holidays. Keep grounded with these tips: Take time for two. You may have spent time with each other’s families and friends when you were dating, but now that you’re married, your presence at certain events is no longer questioned, but rather expected. Attending your spouse’s Christmas party is not optional; same with your second cousin’s potluck. To keep your sanity, be sure to schedule quality time with your spouse. The holidays are about love, peace, and joy. So celebrate your new life together. Start your own traditions. Wake up on Christmas morning and eat candy canes for breakfast. Pick out your first ornament together and hang it on the tree. Attend
a different church service every year. Knit a holiday sweater for each other and wear it on Christmas Day. You and your spouse are a family now, so start your own traditions and repeat them every year - no matter how cute or quirky. Keep your perspective. Getting wrapped up in the frenetics of holiday shopping and materialism is not the best way to celebrate the joy of the season. Instead, practice humility. Consider serving the homeless at a soup kitchen together, singing carols at a seniors centre, or picking alternative gifts that matter through an online gift catalogue like that of the Christian Children’s Fund of Canada. You can make a difference and bring joy to a child living in poverty by purchasing items like a clean water well, mosquito net, fruit tree, or a goat for a child living in poverty.

Bridal Apply oils to keep skin healthy (NC)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Itchy, scaly skin is common in winter, especially at the tail end of
February. Low humidity and high thermostats are just a couple of reasons

why skin starts to â&#x20AC;&#x153;flake outâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural oils, without chemical additives, are nurturing for the skin and contrary to what might be assumed, they are non-greasy and are quickly absorbed,â&#x20AC;? says Helen Sherrard, presi-
dent of the Canadian Health Food Association. She says the CHFA advocates for continued access to safe and effective natural health products (NHPs) that promote a healthy lifestyle for Canadians. Skin is made up of

three layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue and is the largest organ of the body. Hydration is important for healthy skin because it plumps it up and serves as a protective barrier against microorganisms and toxins. The Canadian Health Food Association suggests consideration of these top three natural oils to soothe this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin issues: Pure Virgin Coconut Oil contains mostly fats, so it acts as an emollient, providing a softening and soothing effect. Its melting point is less than body temperature so it melts quickly into skin. Its medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, have been shown to possess antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Grapeseed oil is very light with a fine texture. It contains vitamins, minerals, protein, GLA (an omega-6 fatty acid that is found mostly in plant-based oils), and vitamin Eâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all

nutrients your skin will benefit from. Argan oil is sourced from Morroco, North Africa, and is naturally rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, carotenoids, ferulic acid, sterols, polyphenols, vitamin E and squalene. These nutrients work together to help to heal skin, reduce inflammation and fend off free radicals. Protecting the skin by moisturizing it is essential, Sherrard points out, adding that the organic and cold pressed versions of these oils and others are even better as they retain more of their natural properties due to less processing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to find a wide variety of plantbased oils,â&#x20AC;? she continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and if you want to learn more about the benefits of natural, organic and cold pressed oils to protect, heal and nourish the skin, a natural health food store can give you useful information about their natural properties and how they may work best for you.â&#x20AC;?

Bridal Some relaxation for the stressed-out bride to be Getting married can create a great deal of stress for the bride to be. As a friend, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a good position to see that. So here is a gift to offer her during her engagement party or her hen party: a bridal spa package. Of course these days more and more couples
already live together before they get married, which greatly reduces the list of gift ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no need for toasters and pots and pans! A day at the spa is an ideal gift that will give her some peace and relaxation before the big day. Here is a brief overview of what spas can offer you.
Angela Anderson & Bryan Prette June 1, 2013
If you want to accompany the future bride while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recharging her batteries, opt for a spa that offers different thermal baths. Your friend can start the day with a complete body scrub followed by a wrap treatment. After this, an esthetician could give her a facial that will make her
skin radiant just in time for her wedding. Of course, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget a hand and foot treatment and, as a final touch, a relaxing massage. Thinking along the same lines, you could also choose a relaxation and beauty package that would consist of two separate

visits. During the first visit, she would receive a body scrub followed by a hot wax body hair removal, making her skin feel like silk. After this, she could benefit from a massage and a trial makeup session. Her second visit could include hand care, a foot massage, a manicure, a pedicure, as well as a
complete makeup session. This type of gift is really appreciated by most women and is great for a group. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry if your gift will be appreciated or useful. Every woman loves to be pampered and feel like a princess, especially a few days before her wedding!

Bridal Golden rules for respectful guests For an important event such as a wedding, it is abso lu te ly essen tial to dress in an appropriate manner and appear wellgroomed. However, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy to make the right choice for these occasions, especially because of the great varie ty of styles that blur the boundaries between casual and formal. For women, there is one golden rule to follow: never wear a white dress. The bride should be the only per son to dress in this colour; for someo ne else to wear it would show very poor manners, as if they were trying to steal the show. Provocative sty les, such as very short, tight dres ses with plun ging necklines, should also be
avoi ded. Dresses made of a silky fabric are classics, and a light woven wool is alright, but avoid knits and worn loo king fabrics. Long dresses are not obli ga to ry, but hemlines should never go too high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a dress cut just above the knee is the most appropriate choice. For men, a long-sleeved shirt tucked inside the pants with a belt and a tie is a basic courtesy. Smart pants in a dark colour complete the outfit. Wearing a sports jacket or suit jacket will depend on the type of wed ding youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been invited to. The important thing is to forgo casual clothing and bright colours, like those flashy Hawaiian shirts! Once in a while, the bride and groom may spe-
cify a colour that they want all their guests to wear for their wedding. If this is the case, try to be agreeable about it and follow their wishes. It may be that they have a wed ding the me, or that they want to standar di ze the pho to graphs in their sou ve nir album. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that this is the bride and groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, not an occasion to try and stand out from the other guests.
Dressing in an appropriate manner and appearing well-groomed are essential for a wedding.

Writing your own vows? How to get past writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doâ&#x20AC;? are not the only words youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to say during your wedding ceremony. Not to put any pressure on you, but your vows are the reason for your union and they should be chosen and spoken with care.
If you have opted for a religious ceremony, many priests or pastors will provide you with traditional vows. If that is the case, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to think too hard. On the other hand, if you have decided on a more unconventional route,
writing your own vows is a wonderfully romantic idea. But what if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite get your thoughts and feelings down on the page? What if you find yourself stuck in front of a blank page for hours on end? Here are a few suggestions
for expressing your love without sounding overly sentimental. Start by asking yourself the right questions. How did you fall in love with your future spouse? What does commitment mean to you? And marriage? Your answers are the best material to use, as they come straight from your heart. Keep your vows simple and concise so they will be memorable and interesting. There is nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from a favourite poet or a line from a movie. Most of all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see your guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyelids getting heavy! A good rule to follow is to make the vows about the same length as traditional vows, which are between 30 to 40 seconds long when spoken. If you have too many feelings to express in this amount of time, then you could take up to a minute, but not any longer.

You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a mistake if you are speaking from the heart. Once you have your vows down on paper, practice them until you have them memorized perfectly. Of course, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to have a copy tucked into your sleeve, just in case your nerves play with your memory.
